In this study, the kinetics of disappearance of radioactivity in aerobic composting was investigated. For this purpose, compost materials were prepared by mixing sugar beet wastes, wine factory wastes (grape wastes), straw and biological treatment sludge in different amounts. While alpha-radioactivity was not initially detected in all composting materials, the composting materials had some beta-radioactivity. In the mixtures of sugar beet wastes--straw-biological treatment sludge (1), sugar beet wastes-wine factory wastes (grape wastes)-biological treatment sludge (II) and wine factory wastes (grape wastes)-biological treatment sludge (III), the beta-radioactivity reduced by 82%, 58%, 85% respectively of initial values after 52 d. The beta-radioactivity degradation in the composting process could be represented by first-order kinetics and reaction rate constants of mixtures of I, II and III were k = 0.0693 d(-1) (R2 - 0.84), k = 0.0453 d(-1) (R2 = 0.98), k = 0.0234 d(-1) (R2 = 0.97), respectively. 相似文献

The inhalation of a wide range of organic solvents has become popular among young adults. Toluene is one of the most commonly
used solvents in industry; it is easily available and conventient to use. Many toxicologic effects on biological systems secondary
to deliberate inhalation of toluene have been reported, but investigations on adverse effects associated with bone morbidity
is limited. The purpose of this study is to determine bone mineralization and investigate the adverse effects of toluene on
bone. The bone mineral density and content of the femoral neck of mice exposed to toluene at 300 ppm for 8 wk were measured
by dual X-ray absorptiometry and found significantly reduced compared to the control group. Chronic exposure to toluene was
found to affect bone metabolism, and toluene-induced changes could contribute to bone resorption and inhibition of bone formation.
Toluene seems to be the responsible component for the demineralizating effects of commonly abused substances, and medical
doctors must promote their education about the health hazards in those who abuse solvents especially in areas where inhalant
abuse is endemic. 相似文献

Behavioral responses of larvae and adults of cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera to cotton with (GK-12) and without (SI-3) expression of the CrylAc -endotoxin protein of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner were observed during 2001 and 2002. Our results showed that 8.3% individuals fed with flowers and bolls of GK-12 could develop from neonate to pupa; however, pupal weight decreased by 48.6% and duration of development was delayed by 7.6 days compared with those fed with flowers–bolls of SI-3. Deterrence index (DI) of larvae decreased in later instars, which indicated that the Bt toxin decreased with age. Feeding frequency of 4th-instar larvae on GK-12 leaves decreased by 38.8%, but movement frequency increased by 37.1%. Larvae moved at least one plant away by the age of 10 days in both pure and mixed plantings of SI-3 and GK-12 in the field. Adults preferred to lay eggs on SI-3. The total number of eggs deposited on SI-3 plants in 3 days were about 232 and 95% greater than that on GK-12 plants at bud–flower stage and flower–boll stage, respectively. Based on the behavior of larva and adults in response to the transgenic cotton, the potential effect of refuge strategy in resistance management of H. armigera is discussed. 相似文献

We compared spectrophotometric analysis of the umbilical cords of infants with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) or with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) and healthy infants. In a prospective study, 15 infants with MAS and 37 infants with MSAF were enrolled. Twenty healthy infants formed a control group. The absorption peak of umbilical cords with meconium was significantly higher in the infants with MAS or MSAF than in controls. Spectrophotometric analysis of the umbilical cords with meconium may be useful to identify developed neonates with MAS or MSAF. 相似文献

Endemic Alkanna cappadocica was used to isolate novel antitumor molecules from Turkish landscapes in our previous studies. In this study, deoxyalkannin (ALCAP1), β,β-dimethylacrylalkannin (ALCAP2), acetylalkannin (ALCAP3), and alkannin (ALCAP4) as well as the novel isolated compounds 5-methoxydeoxyalkannin (ALCAP5), 8-methoxydeoxyalkannin (ALCAP6), 5-methoxyacetylalkannin (ALCAP7), 5-methoxy-β,β-dimethylacrylalkannin (ALCAP8) were characterized. The topoisomerase I (topo I) inhibitory activity of ALCAPs was investigated using in vitro plasmid relaxation assay and found that ALCAP2, 3, 4 and 7 were potent inhibitors at 2–6 μM concentrations. Further, DNA damage response to ALCAP treatments was also studied by measuring the H2AX(S139) and ATM(S1981) phosphorylations. ALCAP2, 7 and 8 induced the DNA damage and apoptosis, consistently resulted in PARP cleavage at nanomolar concentrations in K562 leukemia cells. Moreover, when the free radical (ROS) generating capacity of the compounds was studied by 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein-diacetate assay using flow cytometry, we found that a known antioxidant N-acetyl-cysteine almost completely abrogated the H2AX(S139) phosphorylations and the caspase 3 cleavage and activation. Thus, γH2AX(S139) foci formation remained higher than the control, and an increase in CHK2(T68) phosphorylation was observed by ALCAP2 and 7 treatments suggested that, these compounds can be potential therapeutics against tumor cell growth because of their unique DNA damaging abilities additional to enzyme inhibition similar to those of doxorubicin. 相似文献

Gentiana cruciata L. (Cross gentian) is a medicinal and ornamental plant, threatened in its natural habitats. The wild root extracts of this
species are known to exhibit many curative properties. In the present study, an efficient protocol for in vitro propagation
of G. cruciata L. was developed from node culture. A semi-solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 2.22 μM 6-benzyladenine
(BA), 2.46 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and sucrose (3% w/v) improved the production of multiple shoots directly from nodal
segments, providing 3.9 shoots per explants on average. The highest rooting (81.7%) was observed with half-strength MS medium
supplemented with 2.46 μM IBA. Plants with well-developed roots were transferred to pots containing turf/vermiculite mixtures
and acclimatized in plant growth chamber conditions. Acclimatized plants showed 100% survival and remained healthy. The content
of secondary metabolites in the clones was determined by HPLC, and the presence of gentiopicroside, loganic acid, swertiamarin,
and sweroside in the samples was confirmed. Gentiopicroside was found to be the major compound. 相似文献

In the present study, it was aimed to investigate the influence of exogenous mammalian sex hormones (MSH) (progesterone, β-estradiol
and androsterone) on the morphological (root and shoot growth) and biochemical parameters (protein and sugar content, antioxidant
enzyme activities, and lipid peroxidation and H2O2 levels) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants growing under control conditions. The solutions of hormones prepared at different concentrations (10−4, 10−6, 10−9, 10−12 and 10−15 M) were sprayed once on the leaves of 7-day plants. The plants were harvested on 18 days after the hormone treatment. Although
all of the hormones at the tested concentrations significantly increased plant growth, soluble protein and sugar contents,
and antioxidant enzyme activities [superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX) and catalase (CAT)], they decreased H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation level when compared with control plants. The activities of SOD, POX and CAT reached to the
highest levels at 10−6 M for progesterone, and 10−9 M for β-estradiol and androsterone, which maximum growth, protein and sugar contents were determined. The same concentrations
also resulted in the lowest levels for H2O2 content and lipid peroxidation. It can be interpreted that the MSH improve plant growth and development by affecting some
biochemical parameters including antioxidative system. 相似文献

Selective targeting of transfected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) carrying specific antioncogenes to the tumor was suggested as a treatment option. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) was shown to inhibit the proliferation and aggressiveness of osteosarcoma (OS) cells. Here, we aimed to assess the homing efficiency of intraperitoneally administered hMSCs transfected with BMP2 to the tumoral site and their effects on OS using an orthotopic xenograft murine model. Orthotopic xenograft murine model of OS in six-week-old female NOD/SCID mice using 143B cells was established. hMSCs transfected with BMP2 (BMP2+hMSC) were used. In vivo experiments performed on four groups of mice that received no treatment, or intraperitoneally administered BMP2, hMSCs, and BMP2+hMSCs. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies were used to evaluate the pathological identification and to assess the dimensions and necrotic foci of the tumor, the features of lung metastases, and immunostaining against p27, Ki-67, and caspase-3 antibodies. The osteogenic differentiation markers BMP2, BMP4, COL1A1, OPN, OCN and PF4 evaluated using RT-PCR. The tumor dimensions in the hMSCs group were significantly higher than those of the remaining groups (p < 0.01). The number of metastatic foci in the BMP2+hMSCs group was significantly lower than those of the other groups (p < 0.01). The current results showed that the intraperitoneal route could be efficiently used for targeting hMSCs to the tumoral tissues for effective BMP2 delivery. In this study, the effects of BMP2 transfected hMSCs on human OS and metastasis were promising for achieving osteogenic differentiation and reduced metastatic process. 相似文献

This experiment was designed to investigate the histological and lipid peroxidation effects of chronic fluorosis on testes
tissues of first- and second-generation rats. Sixteen virgin female Wistar rats were mated with eight males (2:1) for approximately
12 h to obtain first-generation rats. Pregnant rats were divided into two groups: controls and fluoride-given group, each
of which containing five rats. Pregnant rats in the fluoride-given group were exposed to a total dose of 30 mg/l sodium fluoride
(NaF) in commercial drinking water containing 0.07 mg/l of NaF throughout the gestation and lactation periods. After the lactation
period, the young animals (first generation, F1) were exposed to the same dose of NaF in drinking water for 4 months. At the
end of the 4 months of experimental period, nine randomly chosen male rats (F1) were killed and testes tissues were taken
for histopathological and biochemical analysis. The remaining eight female rats were mated with four males (2:1) for approximately
12 h to obtain second-generation rats. Six female were identified as pregnant and treated with similarly throughout the gestation
and the lactation periods. After the lactation period, the young male animals (second generation, F2) were also treated in
the same way for 4 months. At the end of the 4 months of experimental period, nine randomly chosen male rats (F2) were killed
and testes tissues were collected for histopathological and biochemical analysis. The rats in the control group were applied
the same procedure without NaF administration. In biochemical analysis of the fluoride given F1 and F2 rats, it has been found
that plasma fluoride levels and testes thiobarbituric acid reactive substance levels were significantly increased when compared
with the control group. In F1 and F2 rats, similar histopathological changes were observed. In both groups, spermatogenesis
was severely reduced. Spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes were normal, however, there was a widespread degeneration in
other spermatogenic cell lines of the seminiferous epithelium. The histological structures of the Sertoli and interstitial
Leydig cells were normally observed. It is concluded that chronic fluorosis exposure leads to a remarkable destruction in
testes tissues of F1 and F2 rats via lipid peroxidation.
