Evaluation of bioactive sphingolipids in 4-HPR-resistant leukemia cells

Background -- N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR, fenretinide) is a synthetic retinoid with potent pro-apoptotic activity against several types of cancer, but little is known regarding mechanisms leading to chemoresistance. Ceramide and, more recently, other sphingolipid species (e.g., dihydroceramide and dihydrosphingosine) have been implicated in 4-HPR-mediated tumor cell death. Because sphingolipid metabolism has been reported to be altered in drug-resistant tumor cells, we studied the implication of sphingolipids in acquired resistance to 4-HPR based on an acute lymphoblastic leukemia model. Methods -- CCRF-CEM cell lines resistant to 4-HPR were obtained by gradual selection. Endogenous sphingolipid profiles and in situ enzymatic activities were determined by LC/MS, and resistance to 4-HPR or to alternative treatments was measured using the XTT viability assay and annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide labeling. Results -- No major crossresistance was observed against other antitumoral compounds (i.e. paclitaxel, cisplatin, doxorubicin hydrochloride) or agents (i.e. ultra violet C, hydrogen peroxide) also described as sphingolipid modulators. CCRF-CEM cell lines resistant to 4-HPR exhibited a distinctive endogenous sphingolipid profile that correlated with inhibition of dihydroceramide desaturase. Cells maintained acquired resistance to 4-HPR after the removal of 4-HPR though the sphingolipid profile returned to control levels. On the other hand, combined treatment with sphingosine kinase inhibitors (unnatural (dihydro)sphingosines ((dh)Sph)) and glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor (PPMP) in the presence or absence of 4-HPR increased cellular (dh)Sph (but not ceramide) levels and were highly toxic for both parental and resistant cells. Conclusions -- In the leukemia model, acquired resistance to 4-HPR is selective and persists in the absence of sphingolipid profile alteration. Therapeutically, the data demonstrate that alternative sphingolipid-modulating antitumoral strategies are suitable for both 4-HPR-resistant and sensitive leukemia cells. Thus, whereas sphingolipids may not be critical for maintaining resistance to 4-HPR, manipulation of cytotoxic sphingolipids should be considered a viable approach for overcoming resistance.

Biological production in the Eastern Pacific Ocean

ENGLISH:The present paper is principally concerned with the geographic distribution of the standing crop and production of phytoplankton at the surface of the eastern Pacific, east of 130°W and between 10°N and 33°S, as reflected by recently collected data. In addition we discuss some of the more obvious, general relationships among thermocline topography, nutrient concentration, and the various trophic levels from primary production to fish production. The limited data do not allow a seasonal study. We have therefore mapped all of the data together regardless of the time of collection, but do not wish to imply that the physical, chemical and biological system is without seasonal or periodic change. SPANISH:Como lo reflejan los datos recientemente recolectados, el presente trabajo está dedicado principalmente a la distribución geográfica de las cosechas estables y a la producción del fitoplancton en la superficie del Pacífico Oriental, al este de los 130°W y entre los 10°N y 33°S. Además discutimos algunas de las relaciones generales más obvias entre la topografía de la termoclina, la concentración de los nutrientes, y los varios niveles tróficos, desde la producción primaria hasta la producción de los peces. Los datos limitados no permiten un estudio estacional. Por lo tanto, hemos combinado todos los datos no tomando en cuenta el tiempo de la recolección, pero no queremos implicar que no existen cambios estacionales o periódicos en el sistema físico, químico y biológico.

A simple method to simulate shrinkage-induced cracking in cement-based composites by lattice-type modeling

A new numerical procedure is proposed to investigate cracking behaviors induced by mismatch between the matrix phase and aggregates due to matrix shrinkage in cement-based composites. This kind of failure processes is simplified in this investigation as a purely spontaneous mechanical problem, therefore, one main difficulty during simulating the phenomenon lies that no explicit external load serves as the drive to propel development of this physical process. As a result, it is different from classical mechanical problems and seems hard to be solved by using directly the classical finite element method (FEM), a typical kind of "load -> medium -> response" procedures. As a solution, the actual mismatch deformation field is decomposed into two virtual fields, both of which can be obtained by the classical FEM. Then the actual response is obtained by adding together the two virtual displacement fields based on the principle of superposition. Then, critical elements are detected successively by the event-by-event technique. The micro-structure of composites is implemented by employing the generalized beam (GB) lattice model. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the method, and detailed discussions are conducted on influences of material properties.

Investment potentials in shellfish culture in Nigeria

Shellfish are a major but cheap protein source for human consumption as well as source of income for coastal towns and villages of the Niger Delta in Rivers State, Cross River, and Lagos States. A research into the nutritive value of some of these marine shellfish viz: bivalves (oyster - Crassostrea gasar and cockle - Anadara senilis); gastropods (periwinkle - Tympanotonus fuscatus, obtuse periwinkle - Semifusus morio and the giant whelk - Thais callifera) and mangrove crabs (green crab - Goniopsis pelli, ghost crab - Cardisoma ormatum, and common blue crab - Callinectes latimanus) was carried out to compare their quality and cost with beef, chicken meat, pork and egg in order to identify those most suitable for commercial culture. Results show that all shellfish had at least 16% crude protein except blue crab (13.38%). All shellfish had higher protein content than egg (13.36%). Cockle with protein content 25.47% compared favourably with beef, (29.60%). Beef, chicken meat and pork cost 11.50, 9.00 and 8.00 per kilo respectively while oyster, periwinkle and the common blue crab cost 3.50, 3.00, and 1.50 per kilo respectively. Oysters and Cockles are recommended for commercial culture based on the findings of this research

Synthesis Of Plastic Zr-Based Bulk Metallic Glass Matrix Composites By The Copper-Mould Suction Casting And The Bridgman Solidification

Zr-based bulk metallic glass matrix composites with the composition of Zr56.2Ti13.8Nb5.0Cu6.9Ni5.6Be12.(5) were synthesized by the copper-mould suction casting and the Bridgman solidification. The composite, containing a well-developed flowery beta-Zr dendritic phase, was obtained by the Bridgman solidification with the withdrawal velocity of 0.8 mm/s and the temperature gradient of 45 K/mm, and the ultimate strength of 2050 MPa and fracture plastic strain of 14.6% of the composite were achieved, which was mainly interpreted by the homogeneous dispersion of bcc beta-Zr phase in the glass matrix.

Zanderfischerei an der deutschen Ostseeküste - Jungzander 1992 - extrem in Vorkommen, Verbreitung und Wachstum

Die Zanderanlandungen an der deutschen Ostseeküste lagen in den letzten 10 Jahren auf einem verhältnismäßig hohen Niveau (Durchschnitt 471 t; 1992,477 t). Im jahreszeitlichen Verlauf gibt es eine Frühjahr (April)- und Herbst (Oktober)-Saison. Hauptfangplätze waren 1992 Außenstrand (bis zu 3 sm) und Ostsee, Kleines Haff und Darßer Bodden. Im Oderbankgebiet wurde im Herbst 1992 die überdurchschnittlich gut eingeschätzte 0-Gruppe untersucht, die ab 1994 und teilweise ab 1995 in den befischbaren Bestand eintritt. Die Entwicklung des Bestandes wird weiterhin wissenschaftlich überwacht.

Accurate determination of the absolute phase and temporal-pulse phase of few-cycle laser pulses

A Fourier analysis method is used to accurately determine not only the absolute phase but also the temporal-pulse phase of an isolated few-cycle (chirped) laser pulse. This method is independent of the pulse shape and can fully characterize the light wave even though only a few samples per optical cycle are available. It paves the way for investigating the absolute phase-dependent extreme nonlinear optics, and the evolutions of the absolute phase and the temporal-pulse phase of few-cycle laser pulses.

Excreção urinária de glicosaminoglicanos em crianças com bexiga neurogênica secundária a mielomeningocele

A excreção urinária de glicosaminoglicanos (GAG) está alterada em várias patologias do trato urinário; o padrão de excreção pode estar associado com o estado da doença. A excreção urinária de GAG em crianças com bexiga neurogênica (BN) secundária a mielomeningocele (MMC) pode também estar alterada, mas até a presente data não há detalhamento epidemiológico dos pacientes e não se correlacionou o padrão de excreção com grau de disfunção vesical. Analisamos a excreção urinária de um grupo bem definido de crianças com MMC e correlacionamos os resultados com escore cistométrico. As amostras de urina de 17 pacientes com MMC, 10 meninos e 7 meninas (média de idade DP de 4,6 2,9 anos) foram obtidas durante o exame cistométrico. As amostras do grupo controle foram obtidas de 18 crianças normais, 13 meninos e 5 meninas (6,9 2,2 anos). Todas as crianças não estavam com infecção urinária, tinham função renal normal e não estavam sob tratamento farmacológico. A quantificação do GAG urinário total foi expressa em μg de ácido hexurônico / mg de creatinina e a proporção dos diferentes tipos de GAGs sulfatados foi obtida por eletroforese em gel de agarose. A avaliação cistométrica foi realizada utilizando aparelho de urodinâmica Dynapack modelo MPX816 (Dynamed, São Paulo, Brasil), a partir da qual o escore cistométrico foi calculado de acordo com procedimento recente publicado. [14]. Não observamos diferença significativa na excreção urinária de GAG total entre meninos e meninas tanto no grupo com MMC ( 0,913 0,528 vs 0,867 0,434, p>0,05) como no grupo controle (0,546 0,240 vs 0,699 0,296, p>0,05). Os resultados mostraram também que a excreção de GAG urinário não se correlacionou com a idade tanto no grupo com MMC ( r = -0,28, p> 0,05) como no grupo controle (r = -0,40, p> 0,05). Entretanto, a comparação dos dois grupos mostrou que o grupo com MMC excretava 52% a mais de GAG total que o grupo controle (0,894 0,477 vs 0,588 0,257, p <0,04). Nesses pacientes a excreção de GAG total não se correlacionou com a complacência vesical isoladamente (r = -0,18, p> 0,05) mas foi significativa e negativamente correlacionada ao escore cistométrico (r= -0,56, p<0,05). Em média, os pacientes com piores escores (<9) excretaram 81% a mais de GAG que os pacientes com melhor escore (>9) (1,157 0,467 vs 0,639 0,133, p<0,04). O sulfato de condroitin foi o GAG sulfatado predominante nos grupos neurogênico e controles (92,5 7,6% vs 96,4 4,8%, respectivamente, p> 0,05), enquanto o sulfato do heparan estava presente em quantidades marcadamente menores; o dermatam sulfato não foi detectado. A excreção urinária de GAG em pacientes com MMC é significativamente maior que a excreção das crianças normais e os altos valores encontrados estão correlacionados a um maior compromentimento da função vesical. Evidências em modelos animais com MMC induzida sugerem que alterações no detrusor estão associadas a um elevado turnover da matriz extra celular (MEC) vesical, o que pode explicar a elevada excreção de GAG nos pacientes com MMC. Além disso, esses resultados indicam que a excreção urinária de GAG pode ser usada como fator adjuvante para a caracterização da disfunção vesical em pacientes com MMC.

Strong visible up-conversion emission in Tb3+, Tm3+ and Tb3+-Tm3+ co-doped tellurite glasses sensitized by Yb3+

Up-conversion luminescence characteristics under 975 nm excitation have been investigated with Tb3+/Tm3+/Yb3+ triply doped tellurite glasses. Here, green (547 nm: D-5(4) --> F-7(4)) and red (660 nm: D-5(4) --> F-7(2)) up-conversion (UC) luminescence originating from Tb3+ is observed strongly, because of the quadratic dependences of emission intensities on the excitation power. Especially, the UC luminescence was intensified violently with the energy transfer from the Tm3+ ions involves in the Tb3+ excitation. To the Tb3+/Tm3+/Yb3+ triply doped glass system, a novel up-conversion mechanism is proposed as follows: the energy of (3)G(4) level (Tm3+) was transferred to D-5(4) (Tb3+) and the 477-nm UC luminescence of Tm3+ was nearly quenched.
