A new iridoid diglucoside, 10-O-(E)-p-coumaroylmelittoside (1) and a new flavone glucoside, O-(6'-O-Acetyl-)-beta-glucopyranosylchrysoeriol (2), together with four known flavone glycosides, were isolated from the aerial parts of Sideritis lanata. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, 2D NMR and MS.  相似文献   

Effects of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Nanoparticles on the Neotropical Cladoceran <Emphasis Type="Italic">Ceriodaphnia silvestrii</Emphasis> by Waterborne and Dietary Routes

The impact of nanoparticles (NPs) in zooplankton is poorly studied, particularly when organisms are exposed through diet. Food, constituted mainly by unicellular algae, can act as an important route of contamination for zooplankton. Since unicellular algae have a high surface area in relation to their volume, NPs can interact with their cell membranes and walls, as well as with exopolysaccharides secreted by them. In the present research, we investigated both the acute effects of waterborne titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO₂ NPs), and its chronic effects via dietary exposure on the Neotropical freshwater zooplankton Ceriodaphnia silvestrii Daday, 1902 (Crustacea: Cladocera). The observed acute effects served as support for chronic tests, in which we investigated the effects of TiO₂ NPs on survival and life history parameters (body length, numbers of eggs, and neonates produced) of cladoceran adult females, using the freshwater cosmopolitan chlorophycean Raphidocelis subcapitata as source of contamination of TiO₂ NPs for zooplankton. R. subcapitata cells were exposed to concentrations of 0, 0.01, 1, and 10 mg L^?1 of TiO₂ NPs for 96 h, and then provided as food for females of C. silvestrii until the third brood was released. Significant toxic effects were observed in body length and total number of neonates and eggs produced by females of C. silvestrii at concentrations of 1 and 10 mg L^?1 of TiO₂ NPs. Survival was the most sensitive parameter when exposure was given via food. From the concentration of 0.01 mg L^?1 of TiO₂ NPs, there was a decrease in the survival of C. silvestrii females. The quantification of TiO₂ NPs in algae evidenced that they have retained NPs in their cells, being, therefore, an important route of exposure and toxicity of TiO₂ NPs to the studied microcrustacean.  相似文献   

Genetic diversity in Borago officinalis germplasm as revealed by seed oils and AFLP polymorphism     

Antonino De Lisi  Vincenzo Montesano  Donatella Negro  Giulio Sarli  Emanuela Blanco  Gabriella Sonnante  Gaetano Laghetti 《Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution》2014,61(4):853-859

Ten accessions of wild Borago officinalis were collected during missions in the course of a research activity carried out on plants producing nutraceutical compounds. The aim was to identify populations that produce a higher content of γ-linolenic acid, as this compound has important therapeutic properties and has been used in medical tests to treat rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, and psoriasis with good therapeutical results. The present study reports on the characterization of both the polyunsaturated fatty acid composition and on genetic diversity estimated by means of AFLP markers in several B. officinalis accessions collected in Southern Italy and grown in isolation by means of screen houses specifically designed for each single population. Polyunsaturated fatty acid were found in different amounts in all investigated accessions. The populations were very variable at the molecular level, and the analysis of relationships based on AFLP data, showed that similarity based on Jaccard’s index ranged between 0.330 and 0.742. Our investigations allowed us to identify a population that may be considered as a good source of GLA.  相似文献   

Reconstruction of the lower eyelid by third eyelid lateral advancement and local transposition cutaneous flap after "en bloc" resection of squamous cell carcinoma in 5 cats     

Schmidt K  Bertani C  Martano M  Morello E  Buracco P 《Veterinary surgery : VS》2005,34(1):78-82

OBJECTIVE: To describe a novel technique for blepharoplasty to cover a tissue defect involving >/=50% of the lower eyelid. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical study. ANIMALS: Five cats with lower eyelid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS: En bloc resection of SCC by removing >/=50% of the lower lid with either the medial or lateral canthus was performed without other adjunctive treatment for SCC. The lid defect was reconstructed with a transposition skin flap derived from the frontal (medial defect) or temporal (lateral defect) region. The third eyelid was advanced laterally without dissection from its insertion; its outer conjunctival layer was removed, and the skin flap was sutured with single interrupted sutures dorsally over the nictitating membrane, ventrally to the cutaneous edge of the surgical wound and medially or laterally (depending on the canthus removed) to the skin of the remaining lower lid. RESULTS: Satisfactory cosmetic and functional results were achieved and the Schirmer tear tests were normal. In 2 cats, the skin flap needed monthly hair trimming to avoid corneal lesions. CONCLUSIONS: After en bloc resection of SCC involving >/=50% of the lower eyelid, reconstruction can be achieved by relocation of the third eyelid and use of a cutaneous transposition flap sutured to the scarified external surface of the third eyelid. Eyelid apposition and lacrimal function were preserved. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Blepharoplasty using a cutaneous transposition flap sutured to the scarified surface of a relocated third eyelid should be considered for reconstruction of lower eyelid defects with >/=50% tissue loss of the lid margin.  相似文献   

Globalisation and global trade influence molecular viral population genetics of Torque Teno Sus Viruses 1 and 2 in pigs     

Cortey M  Pileri E  Segalés J  Kekarainen T 《Veterinary microbiology》2012,156(1-2):81-87

Globalisation, in terms of the rapid and free movement of people, animals and food, has created a new paradigm, increasing the range and rate of distribution of many pathogens. In the present study, Torque teno sus viruses (TTSuVs) have been used as a model to evaluate the effects of global trade on viral heterogeneity, and how the movement of live pigs can affect the distribution and composition of virus populations. Seventeen countries from different parts of the world have been screened for TTSuV1 and TTSuvV2. High levels of genetic diversity have been found as well as two new TTSuV subtypes. A small fraction of this diversity (<5%) was related with spatial structure; however the majority (>50%) was best explained by the exchange of live pigs among countries, pointing to the direct relationship between the movement of hosts and the diversity of their accompanying viruses. Taking TTSuVs as sentinels, this study revealed that the distribution and diversity of comensal microflora in live animals subjected to global trade is shaped by the commercial movements among countries. In the case of TTSuVs, it appears that commercial movements of animals are eroding the genetic composition of the virus populations that may have been present in pig herds since their domestication.  相似文献   

Risk factors for highly pathogenic H7N1 avian influenza virus infection in poultry during the 1999-2000 epidemic in Italy     

Busani L  Valsecchi MG  Rossi E  Toson M  Ferrè N  Pozza MD  Marangon S 《Veterinary journal (London, England : 1997)》2009,181(2):171-177

In 1999-2000, Italian poultry production was disrupted by an H7N1 virus subtype epidemic of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The objectives of the present study were to identify risk factors for infection on poultry farms located in regions that had the highest number of outbreaks (Veneto and Lombardia) and the impact of pre-emptive culling as a complementary measure for eradicating infection. A Cox regression model that included spatial factors, such as the G index, was used. The results confirmed the relationship between risk of infection and poultry species, production type and size of farms. The effectiveness of pre-emptive culling was confirmed. An increased risk of infection was observed for poultry farms located near an infected farm and those at altitudes less than 150m above sea level. The measures for the control and eradication of AI virus infection need to consider species differences in susceptibility, the types of production and the density of poultry farms in the affected areas.  相似文献

Efficacy of Posidonia oceanica Extract against Inflammatory Pain: In Vivo Studies in Mice     

Laura Micheli  Marzia Vasarri  Emanuela Barletta  Elena Lucarini  Carla Ghelardini  Donatella Degl&#x;Innocenti  Lorenzo Di Cesare Mannelli 《Marine drugs》2021,19(2)

Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile is traditionally used for its beneficial properties. Recently, promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory biological properties emerged through studying the in vitro activity of the ethanolic leaves extract (POE). The present study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic role of POE in mice. Inflammatory pain was modeled in CD-1 mice by the intraplantar injection of carrageenan, interleukin IL-1β and formalin. Pain threshold was measured by von Frey and paw pressure tests. Nociceptive pain was studied by the hot-plate test. POE (10–100 mg kg⁻¹) was administered per os. The paw soft tissue of carrageenan-treated animals was analyzed to measure anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. POE exerted a dose-dependent, acute anti-inflammatory effect able to counteract carrageenan-induced pain and paw oedema. Similar anti-hyperalgesic and anti-allodynic results were obtained when inflammation was induced by IL-1β. In the formalin test, the pre-treatment with POE significantly reduced the nocifensive behavior. Moreover, POE was able to evoke an analgesic effect in naïve animals. Ex vivo, POE reduced the myeloperoxidase activity as well as TNF-α and IL-1β levels; further antioxidant properties were highlighted as a reduction in NO concentration. POE is the candidate for a new valid strategy against inflammation and pain.  相似文献
