A fast method to detect the occurrence of nonhomogeneous distribution of stomatal aperture in heterobaric plant leaves

Summary Pressure infiltration of water into a leaf via the stomatal pores can be used to quickly determine whether all stomata are open, or as recently described for several mesophytic and xerophytic species, whether there is a non-homogeneous distribution of stomatal opening (stomatal patchiness) on the leaf surface. Information about this phenomenon is important since the commonly used algorithms for calculation of leaf conductance from water vapor exchange measurements imply homogeneously open stomata, which in the occurrence of stomatal patchiness will lead to erroneous results. Infiltration experiments in a growth chamber with leaves of the Mediterranean evergreen shrub Arbutus unedo, carried out under simulated Mediterranean summer day conditions, where the species typically exhibits a strong midday stomatal closure, revealed a temporary occurrence of stomatal patchiness during the phase of stomatal closure in the late morning and during the stomatal reopening in the afternoon. Leaves were, however, found to be fully (i.e. homogeneously) infiltratable in the morning and in the evening. At midday during maximum stomatal closure, leaves were almost non-infiltratable. During the day, the infiltrated amount of water was found to be linearly correlated with porometer measurements of leaf conductance of the same leaves, carried out with the attached leaves immediately before infiltration.     

Manufacturing of Three-dimensionally Microstructured Nanocomposites through Microfluidic Infiltration

Microstructured composite beams reinforced with complex three-dimensionally (3D) patterned nanocomposite microfilaments are fabricated via nanocomposite infiltration of 3D interconnected microfluidic networks. The manufacturing of the reinforced beams begins with the fabrication of microfluidic networks, which involves layer-by-layer deposition of fugitive ink filaments using a dispensing robot, filling the empty space between filaments using a low viscosity resin, curing the resin and finally removing the ink. Self-supported 3D structures with other geometries and many layers (e.g. a few hundreds layers) could be built using this method. The resulting tubular microfluidic networks are then infiltrated with thermosetting nanocomposite suspensions containing nanofillers (e.g. single-walled carbon nanotubes), and subsequently cured. The infiltration is done by applying a pressure gradient between two ends of the empty network (either by applying a vacuum or vacuum-assisted microinjection). Prior to the infiltration, the nanocomposite suspensions are prepared by dispersing nanofillers into polymer matrices using ultrasonication and three-roll mixing methods. The nanocomposites (i.e. materials infiltrated) are then solidified under UV exposure/heat cure, resulting in a 3D-reinforced composite structure. The technique presented here enables the design of functional nanocomposite macroscopic products for microengineering applications such as actuators and sensors.

Vegetation succession in a floating mire in relation to management and hydrology

Abstract. The vegetation succession in a floating mire was studied in relation to management and hydrological conditions in a former peat cutting area in the northern part of the Netherlands. An existing map showed that in 1956 the vegetation consisted mainly of meadows, reedbeds and rich fen vegetation while a recent survey revealed that this picture had completely changed in 1989. The area had mainly become woodland but part had remained open, due to the continuation of a mowing regime. The timing of the mowing appears to be critical, especially during the earlier phases of the succession. Winter-mowing favours the development of eutrophic reedbeds, while summer-mowing promotes mesotrophic sedge communities. In the course of time these succession lines converge increasingly towards acidic vegetation types. The development from open water to embryonic bog differed greatly between sites with a similar management regime. Mostly this took only a few decades but in a few sites the vegetation had hardly changed since 1956. Whereas the former sites were acid throughout the profile, the latter showed a high pH from top to bottom. It is obvious that acidification does not occur as long as alkaline surface water can move freely underneath the floating mat. As soon as a given site becomes disconnected from the surface water the depletion of bases by infiltrating rainwater is no longer compensated. A rough estimate of the acidification rate shows that in an infiltration area three decades are sufficient for a floating mat of 40 cm to become completely decalcified. This corresponds well to the observed succession from rich fens to embryonic bogs in the same period. It is suggested that the best way to preserve rich fen vegetation is to start the succession anew by digging turf ponds.     

GnRH类似物对子宫肌瘤大鼠模型血液黏度、子宫系数和炎性细胞浸润的影响

摘要 目的：探讨促性腺激素释放激素（Gonadotropin releasing hormone,GnRH）类似物对子宫肌瘤大鼠模型血液黏度、子宫系数和炎性细胞浸润的影响。方法：子宫肌瘤大鼠模型（n=36）随机平分为三组-模型组、米非司酮组与GnRH类似物组,分别给予腹腔注射0.15 ml的生理盐水、2 mg/kg米非司酮与2 mg/kg GnRH类似物,每周1次,持续8周。结果：米非司酮组与GnRH类似物组治疗第4周与第8周的全血比黏度、卵泡刺激素（FSH）、黄体生成素（LH）值都低于模型组（P<0.05）,GnRH类似物组低于米非司酮组（P<0.05）。米非司酮组与GnRH类似物组治疗第8周的子宫系数、子宫白介素（IL）-10与肿瘤坏死因子（TNF）-α表达水平都低于模型组（P<0.05）,GnRH类似物组低于米非司酮组（P<0.05）。米非司酮组与GnRH类似物组治疗第8周的子宫内膜厚度、腺间质面积比、腺体面积与腺腔面积都高于模型组（P<0.05）,GnRH类似物组高于米非司酮组（P<0.05）。米非司酮组与GnRH类似物组治疗第8周的子宫组织Wnt5b与β-catenin蛋白相对表达水平低于模型组（P<0.05）,GnRH类似物组低于米非司酮组（P<0.05）。结论：GnRH类似物在子宫肌瘤大鼠模型的应用能降低子血液黏度,还可抑制血清性激素的分泌,增加子宫系数,抑制Wnt5b与β-catenin蛋白的表达,从而可改善子宫肌瘤大鼠的炎性细胞浸润状态与子宫内膜形态。     

Modulation of indomethacin-induced gastric injury by spermine and taurine in rats

This study investigated the involvement of neutrophil infiltration, nitric oxide (NO) generation, and oxidative stress in indomethacin-induced ulcer and the possible gastroprotective potentials of spermine and taurine, known for their tissue regenerating and antioxidant effects, respectively. Male Wistar albino rats (180-220 g) were allocated into a normal control group, ulcer control group (received a single dose of indomethacin 40 mg-kg p.o.), and two ulcer groups pretreated with spermine (150 mg-kg p.o. 1 h before ulcer induction) and taurine (250 mg-kg i.p. for three consecutive days before ulcer induction). The animals were killed 6 h after indomethacin administration, and the gastric juice, serum, and mucosal tissue were used for gastric injury evaluation. Both modulators significantly ameliorated the indomethacin-induced gastric lesions in glandular mucosa. Notably, spermine exhibited the most pronounced effect as manifested by great reduction in the gastric ulcer index, normalization of the elevated gastric acidity, and triggering of mucin production. Spermine and taurine were able to decrease the elevated levels of gastric myeloperoxidase, conjugated diene, and serum NO. However, the lowered tissue NO content was markedly elevated only by taurine. The antioxidant action of taurine was illustrated by restoration of the depressed content of glutathione, normalization of the inhibited activities of glutathione reductase, and superoxide dismutase. These results suggest that spermine and taurine confer significant gastroprotection against indomethacin-induced gastric injury with the priority of spermine.
