Environmental effects of carsharing
Creators: name: Rydén, Christian
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2005

description: This study shows that car-sharing reduces car mileage by 28-45% among private users, which is quite in line with other studies of car-sharing. Some people increase their driving when joining car- sharing (mainly those who did not own a car before), but the increase is rather small in absolute figures. Some people decrease their driving when joining car-sharing, mainly those who got rid of a car when joining. But all changes put together mean an average decrease with 3000 km per member and year in both Bremen and Belgium. On the other hand the use of public transport is increased by 1100 km per car-sharing member and year. Car-sharing cars are smaller and newer compared to the private cars they replace. Among the total fleet of cars, the share of medium sized cars is reduced by 40%. 65% of abolished cars in Belgium were from 1995 or earlier, which can be compared to the car-sharing fleets average production year of 2002 (these figures are es- timated to be relevant also for Bremen). Due to the above factors, car-sharing is estimated to re- duce CO2 emissions from car transport by 40-50% (among its members), and other pollutants are estimated to decrease even more than 50%. Car-sharing reduces the need for a private car and therefore also reduces the amount of cars in urban areas. In Bremen each car-sharing car replaces 7-10 private cars and in Belgium each car-sharing car replaces 4-6 private cars. This in turn re- duces the need for parking space by 90-135 m2 in Bremen and 45-75 m2 in Belgium for each car- sharing car.

description: Accurate assessment of the size and depth of infiltration is critical for effectively treating and removing skin cancer, especially melanoma. However, existing methods such as skin biopsy and histologic examination are invasive, time-consuming, and may not provide accurate depth results. We present a novel system for simultaneous and co-localized ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, with the application for non-invasive skin lesion size and depth measurement. The developed system integrates an acoustical mirror that is placed on an ultrasound transducer, which can be translated within a flexible water tank. This allows for 3D (C-mode) imaging, which is useful for mapping the skin structure and determine the invasion size and depth of lesions including skin cancer. For efficient reconstruction of photoacoustic images, we applied the open-source MUST library. The acquisition time per 2D image is <1 s and the pulse energies are below the legal Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) on human skin. We present the depth and resolution capabilities of the setup on several self-designed agar phantoms and demonstrate in vivo imaging on human skin. The setup also features an unobstructed optical window from the top, allowing for simple integration with other optical modalities. The perspective towards clinical application is demonstrated.

description: Erfaringer fra en række europæiske lande peger på, at delebil-ordninger er til gavn for den kollektive trafik på forskellig vis. Muligheden for gennem en delebil-ordning at vælge et alternativ til selv at købe en bil bidrager til på den ene side til at fastholde passagerer i den kollektive trafik. 25-30 % af nye medlemmer af danske delebil-ordninger ville inden for en overskuelig tidshorisont alternativt ville have købt egen bil. På den anden side giver koblingen af kollektiv trafik og delebiler mulighed for at profilere nye produkter og dermed vinde også vinde nye passagerer til gavn for den kollektive trafiks indtjening.

description: The increased occurrence of antibiotic resistance and the harmful use of pesticides are a major problem of modern times. A ban on the use of antibiotics as growth promoters in animal breeding has put a focus on the probiotics market. Probiotic food supplements are versatile and show promising results in animal and human nutrition. Chemical pesticides can be substituted by biopesticides, which are very effective against various pests in plants due to increased research. What these fields have in common is the use of spore-forming bacteria. The endospore-forming Bacillus spp. belonging to this group offer an effective solution to the aforementioned problems. Therefore, the biotechnological production of sufficient qualities of such endospores has become an innovative and financially viable field of research. In this review, the production of different Bacillus spp. endospores will be reviewed. For this purpose, the media compositions, cultivation conditions and bioprocess optimization methods of the last 20 years are presented and reflected.

description: The aim of the study was to analyse the longevity and the amount of energy-corrected milk (ECM) per day of local dairy cattle breeds Latvian Brown (LB) and Latvian Blue (LZ). The study was based on the data of LB genetic resources (LB) 1770 and LZ 921 cows, which were born from January 1st, 2000 till December 31st year 2015. Milk productivity and longevity of the LB and LZ cows were analysed by birth year periods: 2000–2005, 2006–2010 and 2011–2015. LZ culled cows lifespan was in average 2,762.8 ± 55.14 days, or 7.6 years and it was significantly higher than for LB. The average lifespan of LB culling cows was 6.7 years. There are cows which had closed 7–12 lactations. On average, cows’ lifespan decreased during analysed period. In general, LZ cows are characterized by higher length of productive life and milking days. LZ cows produced more EC milk during their productive life; however, they had the lower milking day ECM productivity than LB cows.

description: Med baggrund i de store takstændringer i januar 2004 har takstfællesskabet mellem HUR, DSB, DSB S-tog og Ørestadsselskabet (ØSS) sammen gennemført en analyse af effekten af takstændringerne. Undersøgelsen er udvidet til også at inddrage årsager til den passagernedgang, der siden 1999 er sket i den samlede kollektive trafik i hovedstadsregionen. Målet er gennem analyserne at identificere betydende faktorer for udviklingen i den kollektive trafik og indkredse det råderum, takstfællesskabets deltagere har for at påvirke udviklingen i positiv retning. Det er første gang, at selskaberne bag takstfællesskabet har gennemført en ana-lyse, der på tværs samler forklarende faktorer til passagerudviklingen i den kollektive trafik i hovedstadsregionen. Dette har sat fokus på nødvendigheden af at benytte en fælles spørgeramme og -teknik i forbindelse med gennemførelse af individuelle undersøgelser.

The Correlation of Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events
Creators: name: Kirovné Rácz, Réka
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Climate change has been a much-debated subject for many years now. According to some opinions, there is no causal link between the changes in the climate and the frequently occurring natural phenomena that are becoming more extreme and unusual. These voices suggest that it has to be accepted that unprecedented blizzards, floods, storms and other natural disasters can occur any time. It is my strong belief that our environment, the nature wishes to signal to us that it is unfortunate to strengthen the effects of climate change with the pollution of the environment and our way of living, which does not respect nature and is wasteful, because the environment will answer with drastic weather anomalies and natural disasters. Today, the mitigation of the harmful effects of climate change and the compliance with these effects have to be regarded as a global goal. (Rácz, 2008) The past few years have brought the recognition of the importance of this problem in Hungary, and the realization that it is not enough to talk about it, actions are needed. Unusual and extreme natural phenomena and weather anomalies have become more frequent. They effect the whole of society, therefore we have to start applying to them in all social and economic fields.

title: Challenges and opportunities in materials for green energy production and conversion
Publisher: name: LE STUDIUM Loire Valley Institute for Advanced Studies
Year: 2021

description: The production of green and renewable energy plays a key role in all future energy scenarios towards the zero-emission transition that has to be tackled in the next 30 years. The rapid inter-conversion of electricity into chemical energy offers an important avenue for the use of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. The generation of electricity in fuel cells from the electrochemical reaction of H2 and O2, coupled with the photoelectrochemical water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen gases and the valorization of CO2 through its conversion into solar fuels are also strongly related with the concepts of circular economy. Hence, the study of materials able to efficiently harvest and transform solar energy is highly necessary. Moreover, due to the intermittent character of the solar energy, adequate energy storage and conversion st

Year: 2005

description: Baggrund Antallet af rundkørsler i Danmark stiger. Rundkørsler er gode til at afvikle trafik, og de er mindre uheldsbelastede end lysregulerede kryds. Mens uheldsfrekvensen for bilister er markant lavere end i andre krydstyper, gælder dette imidlertid ikke i samme grad cyklister (Jørgensen og Jørgensen 2002). Det overordnede formålet med denne undersøgelse var at klarlægge årsagerne til overhyppigheden af cyklistuheld i rundkørslerne. Dette blev undersøgt dels ved at se på hvilken type cyklistuheld der sker, og dels ved at se om der er en sammenhæng mellem antallet af cyklistuheld og rundkørslernes alder, trafikbelastning og geometri.

description: This article examines how platform-based AI competitions structure power relations in medical imaging research. It focuses on two leading platforms, Kaggle and Grand Challenge, which provide organisational as well as infrastructural support to run AI competitions. In dialogue with critical AI and platform studies research, we investigate how such competitions are organised – under which infrastructural conditions and by whom – and how this shapes processes of model production and evaluation. To address these concerns, we have collected data from 118 medical image AI competitions on Kaggle and Grand Challenge, organised between January 2017 and May 2022. In addition, a variety of platform boundary resources – platform documentation, competition descriptions, dataset descriptions, and competition leaderboards – have been gathered. The analysis of these materials shows, first, that platforms direct the AI development process by requiring substantial financial resources, defining which institutions can host a competition and under which conditions. Second, competition organisers define dataset diversity and the generalisability of models. As most datasets are constructed with data from hospitals in North America, Western Europe and China, the application of models to different geographical contexts is potentially limited. Finally, competition participants influence model development through the institutional, demographic, and disciplinary contexts in which they operate. Overall, the examination demonstrates the importance of critically interrogating the entire medical AI research pipeline, including the definition of research problems, the construction of datasets as well as model production and evaluation.

description: Denne artikel beskriver en undersøgelse af den sikkerhedsmæssige effekt af nye cykelstier i byer. Undersøgelsen er tilrettelagt som en før-efterundersøgelse med kontrolgruppe. Undersøgelsen omfatter 48 strækninger, hvor der er etableret cykelstier i perioden 1/1 1989 til 31/12 2000. Strækningerne har en samlet længde på 40 km og er lokaliseret i 17 af de største byer i Jylland og på Fyn. Kontrolgruppen er uheld på alle strækninger i byzone i større byer i Jylland og på Fyn, hvor der ikke er etableret cykelsti i perioden. Undersøgelsen viser, at det samlede antal uheld på de 48 strækninger er 35 % højere end det skulle forventes. Stigningen fordeler sig med en stigning på 44 % i kryds og en stigning på 25 % på strækninger. Antallet af dræbte og tilskadekomne er i alt steget med 30 %. Det ser ud til, at cykelstier i særlig grad giver sikkerhedsproblemer på trafikveje med høj biltrafik, forretninger og bustrafik – de såkaldte multifunktionelle trafikveje. I artiklen tolkes resultaterne og sammenlignes med tidligere undersøgelser, der opstilles forslag til nye principper for planlægning og udformning af cykelstier, og endelig opstilles der forslag til yderligere forskning inden for området.

description: Ensuring the quality and reproducibility of results from biofilm structure and microbial community analysis is essential to membrane biofouling studies. This study evaluated the impacts of three sample preparation factors (ie number of buffer rinses, storage time at 4°C, and DNA extraction method) on the downstream analysis of nitrifying biofilms grown on ultrafiltration membranes. Both rinse and storage affected biofilm structure, as suggested by their strong correlation with total biovolume, biofilm thickness, roughness and the spatial distribution of EPS. Significant variations in DNA yields and microbial community diversity were also observed among samples treated by different rinses, storage and DNA extraction methods. For the tested biofilms, two rinses, no storage and DNA extraction with both mechanical and chemical cell lysis from attached biofilm were the optimal sample preparation procedures for obtaining accurate information about biofilm structure, EPS distribution and the microbial community.

description: I regi af Odense Cykelby gennemføres der i perioden 1/11 2004 til 31/10 2005 et storstilet forsøg med kørelys på cykler i Odense Kommune. I Danmark er der udviklet en ny type af cykellygte, der fungerer som et kørelys på cykel - en pendant til bilernes kørelys. Lygten er fastmonteret på cyklen, og udmærker sig ved at lyse, når cyklen er i bevægelse efter sammen princip som en dynamolygte. Forskellen er imidlertid, at cykellygten hele tiden er aktiveret, og samtidig er friktionen væsentligt mindre end ved en tradtitionel dynamolygte. Cykellygten afprøves efter dispensation fra Færdselsstyrelsen. Projekt Kørelys i Odense har til formål at besvare følgende spørgsmål: 1. Hvordan påvirkes de deltagende cyklisters uheldsrisiko med monteringen af kørelyset. 2. Hvordan påvirker kørelyset de deltagende cyklisters tryghed. 3. Hvilke erfaringer og hvilken tilfredshed oplever deltagerne med kørelyset.

description: Geothermal energy is one of the most valuable and preferable renewable energy sources, given that it produces sustainable, dependable, and clean energy. Understanding the geothermal systems, parameters such as heat, fluids, and structures help to identify potential geothermal systems. These parameters are manifested as hot springs, fumaroles, and alteration minerals. Hydrothermal alteration minerals are often used in geothermal system exploration to evaluate factors such as temperature, fluid, and structures. This study employed GIS and remote sensing in the investigation of hydrothermal mineral alterations and delineating geological structures which provided invaluable information for identifying prospective geothermal resource zones. ASTER was utilised to map phyllic, argillic, and propylitic minerals using SPCA, whereas ISO cluster classification was used to detect kaolinite, smectite, calcite, chlorite, and muscovite/illite-rich areas. DEM was used to extract and map geological lineaments. Results have revealed that the regions that were mapped with indicator hydrothermal alteration minerals were also associated with geological structures. The field work, XRD, and ASD laboratory analysis results indicated a good match with the findings from the remote sensing data. The approach applied in this study may be used along with other techniques during the early phases of geothermal exploration to define geothermal potential targets.

description: The accelerating degradation and damage of forest ecosystems worldwide due to human activities represent a pressing concern. This is particularly evident in Bangladesh, where the majority of terrestrial biodiversity is concentrated within forest ecosystems. Our study explores four ecosystem functions and nine indicators such as net primary productivity (NPP), gross primary productivity (GPP), land surface temperature (LST), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), leaf area index (LAI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), evapotranspiration (ET) and potential evapotranspiration (PET). These elements were assessed using MODIS remote sensing data gathered from four co-managed forest protected areas (CFPA) and two bio-diverse non-co-managed forest areas (BNCFA) from 2002 to 2020. While co-management activities in CFPAs aim to conserve biodiversity, reduce local costs, and promote equitable management, BNCFAs function without such collaborative management efforts. Our findings revealed statistically similar ecosystem functions and their indicators across CFPAs and BNCFAs (t-test, p > 0.05). Seasonal patterns of ecosystem functions also show similar patterns. Interestingly, despite concerted efforts and special initiatives, CFPAs did not exhibit superior ecosystem functions when compared to BNCFAs. In conclusion, our study indicates that ecosystem functions have exhibited similarities across both spatial and temporal scales in the two management regimes.

description: Dans le cadre du projet BMC-EU (Compétences motrices de base en Europe), une boîte à outils pour la formation des enseignants reprenant le concept de formation ainsi qu’un manuel d'utilisation (BMC-EU production intellectuelle 4) a été développée afin de soutenir la mise en œuvre de la formation aux tests MOBAK (boîte à outils pour l’enseignant-support théorique) la base du concept de compétences motrices de base (BMC-EU production intellectuelle 3 ; Scheuer & Heck, 2020). L'objectif de cette boîte à outils de soutien est d'être mis en œuvre principalement au niveau des cours réguliers d'éducation physique pour aider les enseignants d’éducation physique à adapter leurs contenus et leurs méthodes d'enseignement. La boîte à outils pour la formation des enseignants présente les éléments à mettre en œuvre lors de formations d'enseignants. Celles-ci sont structurées en une partie théorique et une partie pratique. Dans un premier temps, les enseignants sont familiarisés avec le concept MOBAK, la mesure, la procédure de test, le traitement des données et l’évaluation ainsi qu'avec l'interprétation des résultats du test. Dans une deuxième partie, ils apprennent à passer du diagnostic des compétences motrices de base des élèves et des forces et faiblesses identifiées dans l'évaluation à des interventions concrètes en utilisant le cadre de soutien MOBAK et les documents qui l'accompagnent sous la forme d'un support théorique (boîte à outils pour l’enseignant), prêt à être mis en œuvre dans des situations éducatives concrètes pour soutenir les élèves ayant des besoins supplémentaires en compétences motrices de base. Étant donné que la boîte à outils pour la formation des enseignants vise à soutenir et à faciliter la mise en œuvre de la formation théorique des enseignants de soutien modulaire pour les enseignants (Scheuer et Heck, 2020), il sera fait référence au concept et au construit des tests MOBAK (Herrmann, 2018), et au manuel de test MOBAK tout au long de ce document.

description: Effects of irrigation were studied in a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in the Priorat region of Spain, in order to determine the effect of sprinkler irrigation on fruit ripening as well as on must and wine composition. The soil water potential was measured at different depths and irrigation was started when the soil water potential decreased to -1480 kPa. At this point, moderate doses of water (25 l/vine) were added every fortnight during July and August. The yield of the irrigated vines increased by 20%. The must obtained from irrigated vines showed higer levels of potassium than that of the non-irrigated vines. Total soluble solids increased earlier and more rapidly in irrigated vines. We also found higher levels of malic acid and the total acidity increased in both, must and wine. However, tannins and anthocyanins, were lower in wines of irrigated grapevines. The later result is possible due to a rainfall which occurred before harvest, since phenolics did not decresase when a similar irrigation was applied in subsequent years.

description: 41 local and introduced table grape cultivars of the Greek Gene Bank in Thessaloniki were evaluated and documented with regard to 10 important morphological and viticultural characteristics, e.g. maturity time, bunch form and crop yield from 1991 tb 1993. The data indicate great variation within the grape germplasm in all characters and stress the importance of the genetic material as a donor of valuable genes for further grapevine improvement. Among the earliest cultivars is the Greek newbred Attiki (harvest time: end of July), while the local traditional Sideritis was shown to be the latest maturing cultivar (end of October). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed 3 factors representing 69.6% of the total variation. PC1, explaining 40.6% of the total variance, is highly correlated with time of maturity and crop yield. PC2, may be considered as the bunch size factor. The assessed cultivars were classified by cluster analysis into distinct groups, 2 of which contained all early and most of the late season cultivars.

description: Resistance to grape powdery mildew (Uncinula necator BURR.) of 13 known Vitis species and 5 unclassified grapes native to China was evaluated. 88 clones were tested with natural infection and a subset of 34 were artificially inoculated during the years of 1991-1992. 68 clones showed resistance to U. necator. In general, we found clones of V. bryoniifolia, V. davidii, and V. piasezkii resistant to U. necator. However, intraspecific variations were observed. Results from this study indicate that Chinese native wild grapes may provide valuable germplasm resources for powdery mildew resistance.

description: En af mulighederne for at få en mere sikker trafik, er at lade førere øve sig inden de slippes løs i den rigtige trafik. Dette kan foregå dels i en køresimulator og dels på køreteknisk anlæg. I dette forsøg har vi ladet de samme professionelle chauffører køre på køreteknisk anlæg og i køresimulator for at klarlægge om deres køretekniske færdigheder bliver større ved at gennemgå disse øvelser. Formålet med øvelserne var at besvare følgende spørgsmål: • Har det en effekt på kørselspræstationen at modtage træning i simulator inden træning på køreteknisk anlæg – og omvendt • Bliver kursisterne bedre til de forskellige discipliner undervejs i gennemløbene? Empirisk grundlag og metoder. Datamaterialet stammer fra gennemførte kurser på AMU-Djurslands køretekniske anlæg og i simulator sammesteds. 104 professionelle chauffører – 10 kvinder og 94 mænd – gennemførte i foråret 2004 ti forskellige øvelser på både køreteknisk anlæg og i simulator. Øvelserne er gennemført to gange i simulator og fire gange på køreteknisk anlæg. Kursisterne har for hvert gennemløb fået tildelt karakterer på en semikvantitativ skala fra et til fem for fire discipliner i hver øvelse, nemlig hastighed, bremsning, styring og undgåelse af forhindring. Karaktererne er givet så objektivt som muligt af erfarne instruktører fra AMU-Djursland. Til besvarelse af de fem spørgsmål ovenfor er brugt variansanalyse og lineær og multipel regression. De uafhængige variable er for eksempel køn, alder, arbejdsmæssig tilknytning, mens den afhængige variabel i disse analyser vil være præstation eller præstationsforbedring inden for en given disciplin. • Kursisterne fik signifikant bedre karakterer af at gennemføre samme øvelse flere gange. Dette gælder alle discipliner og både for køreteknisk anlæg og simulator. • Kursisterne fik bedre karakterer af at gennemføre øvelser på det ene anlæg inden de samme øvelser på det andet anlæg. Tendensen er klarest for kursister der gennemførte øvelser på det køretekniske anlæg efter øvelser i simulator. • Præstationsforbedringen var signifikant bedre på køreteknisk anlæg end i simulator. Om dette skyldes anlæggets karakter eller at der på køreteknisk anlæg var fire gennemløb og i simulatoren kun to, kan ikke afgøres.

description: Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) has long been implicated in the deterioration of carbon steel in oil and gas pipeline systems. The authors sought to identify and characterize sessile biofilm communities within a high-temperature oil production pipeline, and to compare the profiles of the biofilm community with those of the previously analyzed planktonic communities. Eubacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA sequences of DNA recovered from extracted pipeline pieces, termed ‘cookies,’ revealed the presence of thermophilic sulfidogenic anaerobes, as well as mesophilic aerobes. Electron microscopy and elemental analysis of cookies confirmed the presence of sessile cells and chemical constituents consistent with corrosive biofilms. Mass spectrometry of cookie acid washes identified putative hydrocarbon metabolites, while surface profiling revealed pitting and general corrosion damage. The results suggest that in an established closed system, the biofilm taxa are representative of the planktonic eubacterial and archaeal community, and that sampling and monitoring of the planktonic bacterial population can offer insight into biocorrosion activity. Additionally, hydrocarbon biodegradation is likely to sustain these communities. The importance of appropriate sample handling and storage procedures to oilfield MIC diagnostics is highlighted.

description: Dolichos trilobus Linn (Leguminosae) is often used in Yi ethnic medicine to treat pain, fracture, and rheumatism. To explore the therapeutic potential of doliroside B (DB) from D. trilobus and its disodium salt (DBDS) and the underlying mechanism in pain. In the writhing test, Kunming mice were orally treated with DB and DBDS at doses of 0.31, 0.62, 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg. Vehicle, morphine, indomethacin, and acetylsalicylic acid were used as negative and positive control on the nociception-induced models, respectively. In the hot plate test, mice were orally treated with DB and DBDS at doses of 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg. In the formalin test, mice were orally treated with DB and DBDS at doses of 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg. In the meanwhile, lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory model in RAW264.7 macrophages was adopted to study the mechanism of pain alleviation for DBDS. DBDS (5 mg/kg) inhibited the writhing number by 80.2%, which exhibited the highest antinociceptive activity in pain models. DBDS could selectively inhibite the activity of COX-1. Meanwhile, it also reduced the production of NO, iNOS, and IL-6 by 55.8%, 69.0%, and 49.9% inhibition, respectively. It was found that DBDS also positively modulated the function of GABAA1 receptor. DBDS displayed antinociceptive activity by acting on both the peripheral and central nervous systems, which may act on multitargets. Further work is warranted for developing DBDS into a potential drug for the treatment of pain.

description: Endometrial cancer is a common gynecologic malignancy. Vitexin is an active flavonoid compound with an antitumor function. This study elucidated the role of vitexin in endometrial cancer development and clarified the potential mechanism. The toxicity of vitexin (0–80 μM) treatment for 24 h on HEC-1B and Ishikawa cells was tested utilizing the CCK-8 assay. Endometrial cancer cells were divided into vitexin 0, 5, 10, and 20 μM groups. Cell proliferation, angiogenesis and stemness in vitro after treatment with vitexin (0, 5, 10, 20 μM) for 24 h were evaluated using the EdU staining assay, tube formation assay and sphere formation assay, respectively. Twelve BALB/c mice were grouped into control and vitexin (80 mg/kg) groups to monitor tumour growth for 30 days. Vitexin suppressed cell viability of HEC-1B (IC50 = 9.89 μM) and Ishikawa (IC50 = 12.35 μM) cells. The proliferation (55.3% and 80% for HEC-1B; 44.7% and 75% for Ishikawa), angiogenesis (54.3% and 78.4% for HEC-1B; 47.1% and 68.2% for Ishikawa) and stemness capacity (57.2% and 87.3% for HEC-1B; 53.4% and 78.4% for Ishikawa) of endometrial cancer cells were inhibited by 10 and 20 μM vitexin. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of vitexin on endometrial cancer were reversed by PI3K/AKT agonist 740Y-P (20 μM). Moreover, the xenograft tumour experiment lasting for 30 days proved that vitexin (80 mg/kg) blocked tumour growth of endometrial cancer in vivo. Vitexin has therapeutic potential on endometrial cancer, which supports further clinical trials.
Etude histochimique de l'incompatibilité au microgreffage de boutures herbacées chez la vigne

description: Dans les buts de mieux connaître le phénomène de l'incompatibilité au greffage chez la vigne et de valider une technique de caractérisation précoce, des analyses histologique, histochimique et histoenzymologique ont été realisées au niveau de la zone de jonction sur des microgreffes de tiges in vitro et sur des greffes herbacées appartenant à des assemblages de type compatible et incompatible. L'étude anatomique montre que l'absence de connexions vasculaires conduit toujours a l'incompatibilité; par contre, la mise en place de raccords vasculaires n'est pas obligatoirement suffisante pour assurer la réussite ultérieure de la greffe. La répartition inégale de l'amidon entre le greffon et le porte-greffe caractérise l'incompatibilité, mais elle n'est pas observable avant son expression morphologique et ne peut donc servir de marqueur précoce. La mise en évidence d'une activité peroxydasique dans nos conditions expérimentales ne peut pas être envisagée pour caractériser rapidement l'incompatibilité. Histochemical study on the incompatibility of micrografting and green grafting of grapevines In attempt to have a better knowledge of graft incompatibility in grapevine and to develop an early characterization technique, a histochemical and histoenzymological analysis of the union zone has been performed on in vitro micrografts and on green grafts of compatible and incompatible combinations. Anatomical studies showed that vascular connections were absolutely necessary but not sufficient for the success of the graft. The abnormal starch distribution allows incompatibility characterization but only after its morphological manifestation. Our histoenzymological study shows that peroxydase activity should not be used and generalized for rapid characterization of incompatibility.

description: Photosynthetic activity of grafted (Kober 5BB) and ownrooted grapevines (cv. Erbaluce) trained to four trellis systems (alternate curtain, central curtain with one or two canes and pergola) was assessed for three years. The overall photosynthetic response to training, the seasonal and diurnal photosynthetic trends and the response of the training systems to different photosynthetic photon flux densities were evaluated. The training systems had a significant influence on the rate of photosynthetic assimilation: the two central curtains generally had higher rates of CO2 uptake compared to the vines which were trained to pergola and to alternate curtain. With one exception Kober 5BB improved net assimilation rates.

description: Sinisan (SNS) has been used to treat psychosomatic diseases of the digestive system. But little is known about how SNS affects water immersion restraint stress (WIRS). To study the effects of SNS on colonic tissue injury in the WIRS model. Forty-eight Kunming (KM) mice were randomized into 6 groups (n = 8): The control and WIRS groups receiving deionized water; the SNS low-dose (SL, 3.12 g/kg/d), SNS middle-dose (SM, 6.24 g/kg/d), SNS high-dose (SH, 12.48 g/kg/d), and diazepam (DZ, 5 mg/kg/d) groups; each with two daily administrations for 5 consecutive days. The 5 treatment groups were subjected to WIRS for 24 h on day 6. The effects of SNS on colon tissue injury caused by WIRS were assessed by changes in colon histology, inflammatory cytokines, brain-gut peptides, and tight junction (TJ) proteins levels. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to detect the regulation of the gut microbiota. SNS pretreatment significantly reduced TNF-α (0.75- to 0.81-fold), IL-6 (0.77-fold), and IFN-γ (0.69-fold) levels; and increased TJ proteins levels, such as ZO-1 (4.06- to 5.27-fold), claudin-1 (3.33- to 5.14-fold), and occludin (6.46- to 11.82-fold). However, there was no significant difference between the levels of substance P (SP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the control and WIRS groups. SNS regulated the composition of gut microbiota in WIRS mice. The positive effects of SNS on WIRS could provide a theoretical basis to treat stress-related gastrointestinal disorders.
