Changes in organic matter production and accumulation as a mechanism for isotopic evolution in the Mesoproterozoic ocean

Mesoproterozoic marine successions worldwide record a shift in average delta(13)C values from 0 to +3.5parts per thousand, with the latter value evident in successions younger than 1250 Ma. New carbon isotope data from the similar to 1300 to 1270 Ma Dismal Lakes Group, Arctic Canada, provide further insight into this fundamental transition. Data reveal that the shift to higher VC values was gradual and marked by occasional excursions to values less than 0 parts per thousand. When compared to records from older and younger marine successions, it is evident that the difference between isotopic minima and maxima increased with time, indicating that the marine system evolved to become isotopically more variable. We interpret these patterns to record an increase in the crustal inventory of organic carbon, reflecting eukaryotic diversification and a change in the locus of organic carbon burial to include anoxic deep marine sites where preservation potential was high. We speculate that the release of O-2 to Earth's surface environments associated with increased organic carbon storage induced irreversible changes in the Mesoproterozoic biosphere, presaging the more extreme environmental and evolutionary developments of the Neoproterozoic.

Plasma concentrations of tafenoquine, a new long-acting antimalarial agent, in Thai soldiers receiving monthly prophylaxis

We measured plasma tafenoquine concentrations in Thai soldiers given a monthly regimen of tafenoquine to determine whether these concentrations adequately suppressed malarial infections on the Thai- Cambodian border. After receiving a treatment course of artesunate and doxycycline, 104 male soldiers were administered a loading dose of tafenoquine ( 400 mg daily for 3 days), followed by tafenoquine monthly ( 400 mg every 4 weeks) for 5 months. Consecutive monthly mean ( +/- standard deviation) trough plasma tafenoquine concentrations were 223 +/- 41, 127 +/- 29, 157 +/- 51. 120 +/- 24, and 88 +/- ng/ mL. Only 1 soldier developed malaria during the study. At the time of malaria diagnosis, his plasma tafenoquine concentration was 40 ng/ mL, which was similar to 3- fold lower than the trough concentrations of the other soldiers. Although low tafenoquine concentrations appear to be uncommon, additional investigations are needed to determine the relationship between plasma tafenoquine concentrations and suppression of malaria.

A quantitative study of the pathological changes in white matter in multiple system atrophy

The density and spatial distribution of the vacuoles, glial cell nuclei and glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCI) were studied in the white matter of various cortical and subcortical areas in 10 cases of multiple system atrophy (MSA). Vacuolation was more prevalent in subcortical than cortical areas and especially in the central tegmental tract. Glial cell nuclei widespread in all areas of the white matter studied; overall densities of glial cell nuclei being significantly greater in the central tegmental tract and frontal cortex compared with areas of the pons. The GCI were present most consistently in the external and internal capsules, the central tegmental tract and the white matter of the cerebellar cortex. The density of the vacuoles was greater in the MSA brains than in the control brains but glial cell density was similar in both groups. In the majority of areas, the pathological changes were distributed across the white matter randomly, uniformly, or in large diffuse clusters. In most areas, there were no spatial correlations between the vacuoles, glial cell nuclei and GCI. These results suggest: (i) there is significant degeneration of the white matter in MSA characterized by vacuolation and GCI; (ii) the central tegmental tract is affected significantly more than the cortical tracts; (iii) pathological changes are diffusely rather than topographically distributed across the white matter; and (iv) the development of the vacuoles and GCI appear to be unrelated phenomena. © 2007 Japanese Society of Neuropathology.
