Feral animals are commonly constructed as the scourge of the Australian landscape. The transgressive act of introduced, domestic animals going wild elicits strong emotive responses within the community, often conceived in a kind of Freudian spectre of das unheimliche (the uncanny/unhomely), as the once familiar becomes uncontrolled, strange and frightening. Meanwhile, exponential global growth in human populations, and the resulting strain on the environment and food security, is necessitating the rethinking of meat consumption. In Australia, while the stigma surrounding feral animals has historically inhibited their consumption, feral meat is regarded by a growing body of advocates as an environmentally favourable alternative to farmed meat, allowing not only the avoidance of animal suffering within the industrial agriculture model, but also benefitting ecosystems through the removal of damage‐wreaking interlopers. This paper explores the feral turn and its contemporary manifestations as a growing food movement in Melbourne. 相似文献

With a view to specifying structure-activity relationships we have synthesised a new series of analogues of the Rho-kinase inhibitor 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-homopiperazine (Fasudil). The structural modifications concerned the isoquinolinyl heterocycle and the sulfonyl group which are the two main features of this lead compound. These analogues were evaluated on the actin cytoskeleton and on the enzymatic activity of Rho-kinase. Most of the chemical modifications result in a loss of activity showing that interactions of Fasudil with the catalytic domain of Rho-kinase seem to be particularly definite and sensitive to structural variations. The presence of an isoquinolinyl nitrogen and a basic amino group separated by a spacer bearing a sulfonamide function are of utmost importance. Only the tetra-hydroisoquinoline analogue 3 shows the same activity as Fasudil. Moreover, this compound is unable to inhibit PKC biological activity contrary to Fasudil. The loss of the aromatic property could increase the selectivity level in favour of compound 3. 相似文献

A simple, rapid and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV detection was developed for the quantification of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) in parenteral nutrition admixtures containing fat emulsion and in plasma samples of children daily treated by total parenteral nutrition. The analyte and the internal standard, di-n-heptyl phthalate, were extracted twice using hexane and the organic layer separated and dried under nitrogen. The residues were reconstituted with acetonitrile and 20 μl was injected into a Waters Spherisorb C18 column, the UV detector was set at 202 nm. The mobile phase was acetonitrile–aqueous buffer (triethylamine 0.08% adjusted to pH 2.8 with 1 M phosphoric acid) mixture (88:12, v/v) and it was pumped at 1 ml/min. Average recoveries were 97% or greater. This method was successfully used to investigate the amounts of DEHP which can leach from bags and tubing into fat emulsion and which could contaminate children under long-term parenteral nutrition. On the other hand, the circulating DEHP concentrations were estimated in four children under regular long-term parenteral nutrition. 相似文献

The white Batswana of the Okavango identify as African, are strongly nationalistic and express deep senses of belonging to the social and physical environments of their birth and upbringing. Yet, claims to belonging by white people to extra-European territories are often perceived as inauthentic at best and neocolonial at worst. This raises the question of how the empirical realities of such connections can be analytically rendered without threatening or appropriating indigenous identities. Through making a case for the heuristic utility of the concept of experiential autochthony, I argue that emplacement and belonging can be fruitfully explored for migrant and settler groups. 相似文献

A simple, sensitive and selective method for the determination of budesonide in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed. BAL samples were extracted twice with methylene chloride, the extracts were centrifuged and the organic laeer separated and dried under nitrogen. The samples were reconstituted in the mobile phase and 80 μl were injected on to a Spherisorb ODS column with UV absorbance detection at 250 nm. The mobile phase was methanol-aqueius buffer (69:31, v/v). Inter-assay coefficients of variation were measured at 7.81 and 500 ng/ml with ranges of 0.89–7.31%. Average recoveries were 97% or greater. This method was successfully implemented for the analysis of BAL from asthmatics, in order to establish the amount of budesonide available to the lung and to investigate the efficacy of inhaler systems. Patients (n = 9) inhaled four puffs of 200 μg of budesonide and BAL was perforned 10 min after the last inhalation. Only four BAL out of the nine presented detectable amounts of budesonide. The concentrations in BAL in these four patients were 13.44–84.18 ng/ml, corresponding to total anounts of 0.847–7.997 μg. 相似文献

Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the most widely plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that is used in plastic tubes, in medical and paramedical devices as well as in food storage packaging. The toxicological profile of DEHP has been evaluated in a number of experimental animal models and has been extensively documented. Its toxicity is in part linked to the activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR(alpha)). As a response, an intensive research for a new, biologically inert plasticizer has been initiated. Among the alternative studied, tri(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TEHTM) or trioctyl trimellitate (TOTM) has attracted increasing interest. However, very little information is available on their biological effects. We proceeded to dock TOTM, DEHP and its metabolites in order to identify compounds that are likely to interact with PPAR(alpha) and PPAR(gamma) binding sites. The results obtained hint that TOTM is not able to bind to PPARs and should therefore be safer than DEHP. 相似文献

Phthalates, used in medical devices (MDs), have been identified as reproductive and developmental toxicants. Their toxicity varies somewhat depending on the specific phthalate and is in part linked to the activation of Peroxisome Proliferating-Activated Receptors (PPARs). So, the use of MDs containing targeted phthalates such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has been challenged by European directive 2007/47/EC. Therefore, MDs manufacturers were forced to quickly find replacement plasticizers. However, very little toxicological and epidemiological studies are available on human health. So, we proceeded to dock these chemicals in order to identify compounds that are likely to interact with PPARs binding sites. The results obtained are generally very mixed on the harmlessness of these alternatives. Moreover, no data exist on the biological effects of their possible metabolites. As DEHP toxicity resulted mainly from its major metabolites, generalizing the use of these plasticizers without conducting extensive studies on the possible effects on human health of their metabolites seems inconceivable. 相似文献

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive movement neurodegenerative disease associated with a loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain. Oxidative stress, a condition that occurs due to imbalance in oxidant and antioxidant status, is thought to play an important role in dopaminergic neurotoxicity. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases are multi-subunit enzymatic complexes that generate reactive oxygen species as their primary function. Increased immunoreactivities for the NADPH oxidases catalytic subunits Nox1, Nox2 and Nox4 have been reported in the brain of PD patients. Furthermore, knockout or genetic inactivation of NADPH oxidases exert a neuroprotective effect and reduce detrimental aspects of pathology in experimental models of the disease. However, the connections between NADPH oxidases and the biological processes believed to contribute to neuronal death are not well known. This review provides a comprehensive summary of our current understanding about expression and physiological function of NADPH oxidases in neurons, microglia and astrocytes and their pathophysiological roles in PD. It summarizes the findings supporting the role of both microglial and neuronal NADPH oxidases in cellular disturbances associated with PD such as neuroinflammation, alpha-synuclein accumulation, mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction or disruption of the autophagy-lysosome system. Furthermore, this review highlights different steps that are essential for NADPH oxidases enzymatic activity and pinpoints major obstacles to overcome for the development of effective NADPH oxidases inhibitors for PD. 相似文献
