Endemic Muscari muscarimi Medikus is the most fragrant plant among Muscari species and has a high ornamental potential. The natural populations of M. muscarimi, are severely affected by increased environmental pollution and urbanization. There is a need to develop a micropropagation method that should serve effectively for commercial propagation and conservation. Therefore, the study targeted to set up a strategy for efficient in vitro bulblet regeneration system of M. muscarimi using twin scale bulb explants on 1.0 × MS medium containing 4.44, 8.88, 17.76 μM BAP (6-Benzylaminopurine) plus 2.685, 5.37, 10.74 μM NAA (α-Naphthalene acetic acid). Maximum number of 19 daughter axillary bulblets and 16 daughter adventitious bulblets per twin bulb scale explant was regenerated on 1.0 × MS medium containing 17.76 μM BAP plus 10.74 μM NAA and 17.76 μM BAP plus 2.685 μM NAA respectively. The daughter bulblets regenerated on twin bulb scales on 8 out of 9 regeneration treatment could be easily rooted on 1.0 × MS medium containing 4.9 μM IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid). The daughter bulblets regenerated on 9th treatment (1.0 × MS medium containing 17.76 μM BAP plus 10.74 μM NAA) were transferred to 1.0 × MS medium containing 30 g/l sucrose to break negative carry over effect of this dose of BAP–NAA, where they grew 2–3 roots of variable length. Daughter bulblet diameter was increased by culturing them on 1.0 × MS medium containing 4.44 μM BAP plus 5.37 μM NAA. The results verified that both age and the source of explants had significant effect on regeneration. In another set of experiments, twin scales were obtained from in vitro regenerated daughter bulblets, although they induced bulblets, yet their bulblet regeneration percentage, mean number of bulblets per explant and their diameter were significantly reduced. In vitro regenerated bulblets were acclimatized in growth chamber under ambient conditions of temperature and humidity on peat moss, where they flowered. The study provides important information about selection of suitable micropropagation medium, strategies to improve bulblet diameter and rooting of M. muscarimi which offers a scope for commercial propagation.Abbreviations: MS medium, Murashige Skoog medium; BAP, 6-Benzylaminopurine; NAA, α-Naphthalene acetic acid; IBA, Indole-3-butyric acid 相似文献

An electrochemical genosensor for the detection of hypermethylation of the glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) gene, a specific marker of prostate cancer, was reported. This new sensor was used in combination with a single-use carbon graphite working electrode and differential pulse voltammetry, with the results of sample analysis based on the guanine oxidation signals obtained at +1.0 V before and after hybridization between probe and synthetic target or denatured PCR samples. The detected DNA hybridization was also characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy with potassium ferri/ferrocyanide as a redox probe. The protocol consisted of 2 different modes: (i) capture probes selective for methylation-specific and unmethylated GSTP1 sequences were immobilized onto the sensor directly, and hybridization was formed on the electrode surface; (ii) probe/target or probe/noncomplementary target couples were mixed in solution phase, and the transducer was modified through simple adsorption. The limit of detection (S/N=3) was calculated as 2.92 pmol of target sequence in a 100-μl reaction volume. The optimum analytical detection parameters for the biosensor, as well as its future prospects, were also presented. 相似文献

Background. N‐acetyl cystein, a mucolytic agent, might make Helicobacter pylori antigens shed more easily to stool, and might therefore contribute to the diagnostic accuracy of the Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test. The aim of this study is to investigate if N‐acetyl cystein contributes to the diagnostic accuracy of the Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test by increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the test. Materials and Methods. 107 patients were separated into treatment and placebo groups. The AC group (n = 53) was given 5 ml of acetyl cystein (4%) t.i.d. and the Placebo group (n = 54) was given placebo, for 3 days. Helicobacter pylori status was determined by both histology and CLOtest. Stool samples were assayed using a specific ELISA kit for Helicobacter pylori stool antigen. Results. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test were 76%, 79%, 90%, 55%, and 77%, respectively, in AC group; and 85%, 89%, 93%, 76% and 86%, respectively, in placebo group. Conclusions. N‐acetyl cystein did not increase, and actually decreased, the sensitivity and specificity of the Helicobacter pylori stool antigen test according to our results. We believe that this finding can be taken into consideration when setting up the exclusion criteria for future studies, which will use Helicobacter pylori stool antigen tests. 相似文献

Hypertension: does impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation affect superoxide scavenging? 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acute nitric oxide synthase inhibition on mean arterial blood
pressure, oxidative stress markers such as plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, intracellular antioxidant enzyme activities
such as copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) and catalase and on trace elements important for activity and stability
of Cu/Zn-SOD.
Wistar-Kyoto rats (approx 150 g) (n=11) were treated with N
ω-nitro-l-arginine methyl esther (l-NAME) (0.5 mg/mL) for 2 d. Age- and bodyweight-matched rats (n=10) were used for control group. Their systolic blood pressures and heart rates were recorded daily during the experimental
period and also before their blood samples were drawn. Plasma MDA, plasma and red cell zinc and copper concentrations, and
red cell Cu/Zn-SOD and catalase activities were determined.
A progressive rise in systolic arterial blood pressure was observed compared to the control group (p<0.001). The heart rate of the experimental group was reduced on the third day (p<0.05). Plasma MDA concentration and red cell catalase activity were increased in the experimental group (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively). Plasma copper and red cell zinc concentrations were also increased significantly in the experimental
group (p<0.001 and p<0.01, respectively).
In conclusion, impairment in endothelium-derived relaxation altered mean arterial blood pressure, oxidant status, and trace
element concentrations.

Ethanol causes oxidative stress and tissue damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of antioxidant carnosine on the oxidative stress induced by ethanol in the rat brain tissue. Forty male rats were divided equally into four groups as control, carnosine (CAR), ethanol (EtOH), and ethanol plus carnosine (EtOH + CAR). Rats in the control group (n = 10) were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 0.9% saline; EtOH group (n = 10) with 2 g/kg/day ethanol, CAR group (n = 10) received carnosine at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day and EtOH + CAR group (n = 10) received carnosine (orally) and ethanol (i.p.). All animals were sacrificed using ketamine and brain tissues were removed. Malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl (PCO) and tissue carnosine levels, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities were measured. Endogenous CAR levels in the rat brain tissue specimens were significantly increased in the CAR and EtOH groups when compared to the control animals. MDA and PCO levels in the EtOH group were significantly increased as compared to the other groups (P < 0.05). CAR treatment also decreased MDA levels in the CAR group as compared to the control group. Increased SOD activities were obtained in the EtOH + CAR group as compared to the control (P < 0.05). CAR levels in the rat brain were significantly increased in the CAR, EtOH and CAR + EtOH groups when compared to the control animals. These findings indicated that carnosine may appear as a protective agent against ethanol-induced brain damage. 相似文献

The uterosacral ligaments are an important part of the pelvic support system. The objective of this study was to compare the expression of collagen type I and collagen type III in the uterosacral ligament biopsies from women with and without pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The uterosacral ligament biopsies were obtained from women with POP (n = 29) and non-POP subjects (n = 35). Immunohistochemistry for collagen type I and collagen type III was performed on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections. The two groups were matched for age, body mass index, parity and postmenopausal status. The expression of collagen type I (p < 0.001) and collagen type III (p < 0.0001) differed between women with POP and non-POP subjects. There was decreased expression of collagen type I and increased expression of collagen type III in uterosacral ligaments of women with POP compared with non-POP subjects. This difference indicates a possible relationship between POP and the immunohistochemical expression of collagen type I and collagen type III in uterosacral ligaments. 相似文献

In this study, some parameters for the production and caseinolytic activity of an extracellular thermostable acid protease from a thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma volcanium were determined. The highest level of growth and enzyme production were detected at pH 3.0 over an incubation period of 192 h at 60 degrees C. The pH optimum for the acid protease activity was 3.0 and the enzyme was fairly stable over a broad pH range (pH 3.0-8.0). The temperature for maximum activity of the enzyme was 55 degrees C and activity remained stable between 50 degrees C and 70 degrees C. These features could be of relevance for various biotechnological applications of this enzyme. Serine-(PMSF), cysteine-(DTT), metallo-(EDTA) and aspartate-(pepstatin) protease inhibitors did not inhibit the caseinolytic activity of the enzyme. Therefore, Tp. volcanium acid protease could be a member of the pepstatin-insensitive carboxyl proteinases. 相似文献
