    Protection from chemotherapy-induced alopecia in a rat model (1990)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1990-09-28
    Description: Alopecia (hair loss) is among the most distressing side effects of cancer chemotherapy. Little progress has been made, however, in its prevention or treatment, partly because of the lack of suitable experimental model. In recent work on the treatment of myelogenous leukemia in the rat, the following observations were made: (i) treatment of 8-day-old rats with cytosine arabinoside consistently produced alopecia, and (ii) ImuVert, a biologic response modifier derived from the bacterium Serratia marcescens, uniformly produced complete protection against the alopecia. In subsequent experiments, both cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin also produced alopecia in this model, and the doxorubicin-induced alopecia was prevented by treatment with ImuVert. The potential relevance of these observations to chemotherapy-induced alopecia in the clinical setting should be examined.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hussein, A M -- Jimenez, J J -- McCall, C A -- Yunis, A A -- DK07114/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Sep 28;249(4976):1564-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, University of Miami School of Medicine, FL 33101.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2218498" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Tumor cell rejection through terminal cell differentiation (1987)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1987-11-27
    Description: Leukemic cells cultured in the presence of various conditioned media differentiate into macrophages. This finding suggested that the maintenance of undifferentiated state and self-renewal in vivo may be related to the inability of the host to generate an appropriate level of differentiation factor (DF). Evidence for this hypothesis was derived from experiments in vitro and in vivo with myeloid leukemia of rat. The following results were obtained: (i) in vitro, the percentage of cell differentiation at a fixed concentration of DF was inversely related to the concentration of cells; (ii) leukemic cell inoculates that were lethal to 7-day-old rats were rejected by 21-day-old rats; (iii) leukemic cells in diffusion chambers underwent differentiation in 21-day-old rats but not in 7-day-old rats; (iv) organs from 21-day-old rats contained more DF activity than those of 7-day-old rats; (v) treatment of rats with DF in diffusion chambers resulted in leukemic cell differentiation inside the chamber; and (vi) the development of leukemia in 7-day-old rats was aborted by treatment with DF. These results show that the differentiation of rat leukemia cells requires the appropriate level of DF. The proliferation of transplanted leukemia cells in 7-day-old rats goes unchecked because of inadequate generation of DF. Conversely, in the 21-day-old rats, rejection is accomplished by differentiation of the transplanted cells.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jimenez, J J -- Yunis, A A -- AM 07114/AM/NIADDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Nov 27;238(4831):1278-80.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicine, University of Miami School of Medicine, FL 33101.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3685979" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Vertical distribution of earthworms in grassland soils of the Colombian Llanos (2000)

    Notes: Abstract  The vertical distribution of native earthworm species from natural and disturbed savannas in the Oxisols of the Colombian Llanos was assessed in a native savanna and in a 17-year-old grazed grass-legume pasture during a period of 17 months. Different patterns of vertical stratification were observed for all species with a strong migration of populations to deeper layers in the dry season. The correlation between the size of the earthworms and the average depth at which they were found was not significant (P〉0.05), despite the fact that bigger species are located deeper in the soil. The living habits and adaptive strategies of the smallest species, Ocnerodrilidae n. sp., found in both ecosystems studied are responsible for this pattern. This endogeic species is associated with organic pools generated by an anecic species and further studies should assess the role of this species in ecosystem functioning. Mature worms of one anecic species were located deeper than immature ones in the soil (P〈0.01). Soil moisture had an important effect on the vertical distribution of earthworms, although differences between immature and mature worms of the anecic Martiodrilus carimaguensis are likely to be of biotic origin. New data on the biology and ecology of these Neotropical species are shown.

    Notes: Abstract  The structure and seasonal changes of earthworm communities were evaluated in a natural savanna and in a improved grass-legume pasture in a Colombian oxisol over a period of 18 months. One plot of 90×90 m was isolated in each of the systems and each month five samples of 1 m2×0.5 m and ten of 20×20×20 cm were randomly selected from a stratified block design. Species richness was similar in the two evaluated plots (seven species), whereas diversity measured by the index, H (Shannon and Weaver 1949) was clearly different, i.e. H=2.89 in natural savanna and H=1.29 in pasture. This is explained by differences in earthworm community structure. The average annual density in the savanna was 49.8, ranging from 10.8 to 135.8 individuals (ind) m–2, and biomass was 3.3 g m–2 (hand-sorting method), ranging from 0.9 to 11.5 g m–2. In the man-made pasture, density was 80.1 ind m–2 on average, ranging from 24 to 215.8 ind m–2 and biomass was more than tenfold higher, ranging from 29.2 to 110.4 g m–2. This was especially due to the presence of a large glossoscolecid anecic species, Martiodrilus carimaguensis Jiménez and Moreno, which has been greatly favoured by conversion of savanna to pasture. Endogeic species were dominant in the natural savanna whereas the anecic species accounted for 88% of total earthworm biomass in the pasture. Total earthworm density and biomass were significantly different in the two systems studied (t-test). The results indicate a clearly positive response of earthworm communities to improved pastures, a type of land use that is being increasingly adopted in moist neotropical savannas.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The performance of a gas chromatographic system coupled to an atomic emission detector (GC/AED) is tested by comparison with a two-dimensional gas chromatographic system equipped with capillary columns of different polarity and simultaneous electron capture and nitrogen-phosphorus detection (ECD/NPD), for the determination of the acaricides chlordimeform, bromopropylate, amitraz and coumaphos on spiked honey samples. The acaricides were extracted with ann-hexane/acetone mixture (80∶20, v/v) with a further clean-up step on an octadecylsilane cartridge. The 193 nm carbon emission line is the best choice in terms of sensitivity whereas the ECD/NPD system gives better selectivity.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of corn pollen and aqueous leachates of pollen upon the radicle growth ofBidens pilosa, Cassia jalapensis, andRumex crispus are shown. Extractions of pollen with various solvents and methods were carried out so as to assess its active principle and its effect uponC. jalapensis. The preliminary steps to separate and identify the allelopathic compounds of the sonicated and macerated pollen extracted with methylene chloride are described. The strongest inhibitory effect was produced by the hexane fraction. The allelopathic effect of corn pollen upon the growth ofC. jalapensis in several substrates is shown. The possible structure of some of the active fractions is discussed as well as the possibility that the allelopathic potential of pollen might actually occur in nature.

    ISSN: 1612-1112
    Keywords: Supercritical fluid extraction ; Column liquid chromatography ; Carbendazime analysis ; Vegetable samples
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary An SFE-HPLC method for the determination of carbendazime in lettuce leaves is described. The method involves a prior lyophilization of the sample and subsequent extraction with supercritical carbon dioxide containing methanol. The extraction conditions are as follows: amount of lyophilized sample, 1 g; CO2 density, 0.75 g/ml; temperature, 50 °C; flow-rate, 1.8 ml/min; dynamic extraction time, 25 min. Carbendazime is determined with an octadecylsilane column, an acetonitrile/water 30∶70 mobile phase and fluorescence detection at 285/317 nm. Carbendazime recoveries from spiked samples were all close to 100%. A comparison with the results from a conventional method for the determination of carbendazime reveals the new method to be more rapid, simple and reproducible for samples with low concentrations of analyte.
