The toxicity of vapours of the essential oil of Ferula gummosa, Elettaria cardamomum and Salvia officinalis on the adults and larvae of some stored product pests was investigated. The bioassays were carried out in 70 mL vials containing 10 individuals of each insect. The LC50 values of fumigant bioassay after 24 h were calculated. Results indicated that the effect of the essential oil of F.gummosa was stronger than E. cardamomum, S. officinalis on stored pests. Also fumigant toxicity of S. officinalis on Sitophilus oryzae was similar to that of Sitophilus granarius adults. On the other hand, R. officinalis had a good effect on adults of Tribolium castaneum and larvae of Ephestia kuehniella. According to our results and good effect of these compounds, they will be a safe replace for chemical compounds in the future. 相似文献

Predator mites of Phytoseiidae family are among the most important biocontrol agents in the world. These beneficial mites are considered as natural enemies of many pests and herbivore mites, and can feed on different growth stages of pests (egg, larva or nymph). Five species of Phytoseiidae mites were found during a survey conducted on tea plants, Camellia sinensis (Theaceae), in the Mazandaran and Guilan Provinces in the north of Iran, on the coast of the Caspian Sea, the major tea-growing region of Iran. Some of these species are recorded for the first time in tea gardens of Iran. 相似文献

Over 100,000 Iranian war veterans suffer from chronic effects of mustard gas exposure. Sulfur mustard was used by Iraq during the Iraqi-imposed war on Iran (between 1980 and 1988). The major complaints of these patients are mild interstitial fibrosis and bronchiolitis. We aimed to determine the state of fibrosis progression and assessed transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 levels in pulmonary samples and in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) aspirates. A total of 126 war veterans confirmed for lung disease were assessed and compared with three control groups: 1) 64 veterans not exposed to chemical agents, 2) 12 idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis civilian patients, and 3) 33 normal persons. BAL was performed via a flexible fiber-optic bronchoscope and the standard manual method. Total protein was measured by Bradford assay, and samples were corrected with regard to coefficients. Samples were concentrated 15-fold by lyophilization and resolubilization. Samples were double-checked using an ELISA test kit. The Mann-Whitney test was used for the data analysis using commercial software. We detected that significant differences between TGF-beta1 levels between the case group and control group 1 (P = 0.001) and control group 3 (P = 0.003). No significant differences were found between the case group and control group 2 (P = 0.57). Inflammation and fibrotic processes in lung tissue of patients exposed to sulfur mustard may be progressive so IFN-gamma may be a useful drug to these patients' treatment. 相似文献

In zebrafish, as in other vertebrates, the secreted signalling molecule Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in organiser regions such as the embryonic midline and the zona limitans intrathalamica (zli). To investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying the pattern of shh expression, we carried out a systematic analysis of the intronic regulatory sequences of zebrafish shh using stable transgenesis. Deletion analysis identified the modules responsible for expression in the embryonic shield, the hypothalamus and the zli and confirmed the activities of previously identified notochord and floor plate enhancers. We detected a strong synergism between regulatory regions. The degree of synergy varied over time in the hypothalamus suggesting different mechanisms for initiation and maintenance of expression. Our data show that the pattern of shh expression in the embryonic central nervous system involves an intricate crosstalk of at least 4 different regulatory regions. When compared to the enhancer activities of the mouse Shh gene, we observed a remarkable divergence of function of structurally conserved enhancer sequences. The activating region ar-C (61% identical to SFPE2 in mouse Shh), for example, mediates floor plate expression in the mouse embryo while it directs expression in the forebrain and the notochord and only weakly in the floor plate in the zebrafish embryo. This raises doubts on the predictive power of phylogenetic footprinting and indicates a stunning divergence of function of structurally conserved regulatory modules during vertebrate evolution. 相似文献

A density functional theory investigation of adsorption of monomer, dimer and trimer forms of pyrrole on the outer surface of zigzag (7,0) single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) has been reported. Geometries of the complexes were optimized using the M06-2X functional and the 6-31G(d,p) basis set. Moreover, 6-311G(d,p), cc-pVDZ and cc-pVTZ basis sets were used for the adsorption energy calculation and such energies were corrected for the basis set superposition error. Vertical ionization potential and electron affinity of the investigated system were also computed. The interaction of polypyrrole on the SWCNT surface is characterized by the stacking interaction. Adsorption (binding) energy of pyrrole on the SWCNT surface is weak, but such energy increases with the number of monomer units in the pyrrole oligomer. In the SWCNT-pyrrole complexes, the oxidation and reduction processes will take place only at the SWCNT. The influence of larger unit on the electronic properties of the complex has been detailed. 相似文献

Adult zebrafish have an amazing capacity to regenerate their central nervous system after injury. To investigate the cellular response and the molecular mechanisms involved in zebrafish adult central nervous system (CNS) regeneration and repair, we developed a zebrafish model of adult telencephalic injury.In this approach, we manually generate an injury by pushing an insulin syringe needle into the zebrafish adult telencephalon. At different post injury days, fish are sacrificed, their brains are dissected out and stained by immunohistochemistry and/or in situ hybridization (ISH) with appropriate markers to observe cell proliferation, gliogenesis, and neurogenesis. The contralateral unlesioned hemisphere serves as an internal control. This method combined for example with RNA deep sequencing can help to screen for new genes with a role in zebrafish adult telencephalon neurogenesis, regeneration, and repair. 相似文献

This study reports maximum parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses of selected Old World Astragalus using two chloroplast fragments including trnL-F and ndhF and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrDNA ITS). A total of 52 taxa including 34 euploid Old World and New World Astragalus , one aneuploid species from the Neo-Astragalus clade as a representative and 14 other Astragalean taxa, plus Cheseneya astragalina and two species of Caragana as outgroups were analyzed for both trnL-F and nrDNA ITS regions. ndhF was analyzed in 30 taxa and the same number for the combination of these three datasets were examined. In general, the trnL-F dataset and the ndhF and nrDNA ITS datasets generated more or less the same clades within Astragalus . However, in the trnL-F and ndhF phylogenies, Astragalus species are not gathered in a single clade, the so-called Astragalus s.s., as indicated by the nrDNA ITS tree. Visual inspection of these three phylogenies revealed that they were inconsistent regarding the position and relationships of Astragalus hemsleyi , A. ophiocarpus , A. annularis–A. epiglottis / Astragalus pelecinus, A. echinatus and A. arizonicus . Incongruence length difference test suggested that the trnL-F , ndhF and nrDNA ITS datasets were incongruent. In spite of this, phylogenetic analyses of the combined datasets as one unit or as three partitions generated trees that were topologically similar as a mix of the cpDNA and the nrDNA ITS trees. However, the combined dataset provided more resolved and statistically supported clades. The recently described A. memoriosus appeared closely related to A. stocksii (both from sect. Caraganella ) based on both trnL-F and nrDNA ITS sequences. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have therapeutic potential for treatment of diabetes. However, in vitro behavior of MSCs in high glucose condition as well as presence of glucose lowering agents is not fully understood. Because MSCs have an important role in tissue repair, we examined the effects of metformin and celecoxib on viability of MSCs in different glucose conditions. MSCs, from umbilical cord blood, were cultured in normoglycemic (glucose 5.5 mM), midglycemic (glucose 10 mM), and hyperglycemic (glucose 25 mM) conditions, and the cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. The cytotoxicity and secretion of GDF‐15 were further tested in MSCs treated with metformin and celecoxib in various glucose concentrations. Our results showed that high glucose condition lowered viability of MSCs. Metformin treatment also inhibited proliferation of MSCs, but its toxicity was not changed in high glucose condition. Celecoxib induced cytotoxicity in MSCs, and the toxicity was increased in high glucose condition. Metformin and celecoxib induced release from MSCs; however, high glucose inhibited the metformin‐induced GDF‐15 release. These findings suggested that metformin did not increase the cytotoxicity of high glucose condition in MSCs. Moreover, celecoxib treatment in diabetic condition can reduce the viability of MSCs to proliferate and regenerate perhaps via change in release of GDF‐15. 相似文献

The known effects of calcium channel blockers on various aspects of potassium homeostasis are reviewed. Regulation of potassium homeostasis requires both renal and external handling mechanisms. Signaling by calcium appears to mediate both of these. Calcium channels have been identified in adrenal glomerulosa cells, and cellular calcium entry has been demonstrated in vitro to be necessary for the synthesis and secretion of aldosterone. Calcium channel antagonists such as verapamil and nifedipine, at pharmacologic doses, can block aldosterone production. In vivo, however, only chronic administration of verapamil appears to attenuate aldosterone responsiveness to angiotensin II. Chronic administration of nifedipine does not have a dramatic effect on aldosterone production following potassium loading. Other studies have demonstrated improved extrarenal potassium disposal following treatment with calcium channel blocking agents. Clinically, there are no reports of either hyperkalemia or hypokalemia with the routine therapeutic use of these agents given alone. This review was prompted by the development of hyperkalemia in a patient with chronic renal failure following the initiation of therapy with the calcium channel blocker diltiazem: however, numerous other etiologies may also have contributed to the development of hyperkalemia in this case. Review of the data indicates that current evidence implicating this class of drugs in the pathogenesis of disordered potassium regulation remains equivocal. 相似文献
