Effect of temperature on genomic and some biological indices during embryonic and larval development of Caspian trout Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877

Since 1966 especially recent decade, Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius Kessler, 1877) considered as a strategic endemic species for Caspian Sea fisheries resources also coldwater aquaculture in Iran. Nowadays habitat condition effects on this subspecies during life stages, artificial breeding and incubation period noticed by research and execution sessions of fisheries in Iran. Incubation duration of Caspian trout from artificial fertilization followed by green egg and eyed egg, hatching and yolk sac absorption identified as most sensitive stages for fish and any pollution, stress and deviation by natural life conditions of embryo up to larvae could provide possible mortalities and observable or hidden alterations. Among all vital factors for Caspian trout welfare even in conservation plans and stocks rehabilitation programs or recent attempts for domestication of this fish for introduction to cold water aquaculture industry, water temperature as the most important physical factor which might conserve or induce stress to rearing environment condition is not considered yet. In hatcheries activities, the temperature for incubation and rearing Caspian trout eggs is determining by available water temperature and wide range of temperatures in governmental or private farms is using depend on the water resources availability. Also global climate change consideration and increase temperature trend accompany with group of physical and chemical factors provided by fish farm discharges and other source points entered to the migration pathway of Caspian trout in spawning season were not investigated before. Natural spawning migration pathway is upstream of Caspian tout south and south west rivers especially in Cheshmehkileh upstream in Tonekabon, Iran directed this research focus on the mentioned location. For simulation of natural spawning bed for Caspian trout, water supplied from the upstream of Daryasar branch as headwater of Cheshmehkileh River which provided REDD water condition for in vitro incubation. Green eggs treatments of wild and F1 cultured brooders both 3+ were incubated. Incubation implemented in dark, constant temperature (4, 8, 12 degree centigrade) and DO–pH–temperature digital monitoring in 3 recycling incubators ended to yolk sac absorption and entering larval stage. Hatching success, possible genome alterations by HSP70 gene expression and comet assay implemented as diagnostic tools in 3 life stages of eyed egg– Alevin and Larvae. Numbers and diameters of larvae white fiber muscles measured by histology experiment and Hematoxylin–eosine staining. Results stated significant effect of incubation temperature on hatching success, genome and white fiber muscles of wild and F1 samples. Hatching success measured as 31% and 38% for cultured and wild cold treatments, 79% and 91% for normal and 64% and 73% for warm cultured and wild treatments respectively. Considerable mortality occurred for cold treatment and 8 degree centigrade stated the best thermal condition in normal incubator according to hatching success in wild Caspian trout samples.

Design et synthèse d’inhibiteurs d’une ectonucléotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiestérase de type 1 (ENPP1) et leur activité anticancéreuse

La calcification de la valve aortique (CVA) est une maladie cardiovasculaire de plus en plus répandue, particulièrement en Amérique du Nord. Elle cause le rétrécissement de la valve aortique et le seul traitement actuellement disponible est le remplacement chirurgical. Des études menées par le Dr Patrick Mathieu (Institut de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Québec) ont montré qu’une surexpression d’une ectonucléotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiestérase de type 1 (ENPP1) est à l’origine de cette sténose. Une solution à cette maladie serait donc de trouver un inhibiteur d’ENPP1. Inspirées des travaux du groupe de Pfizer visant ENPP1 pour le traitement de la chondrocalcinose articulaire et l’ostéoarthrite, quelques familles d’inhibiteurs de type quinazoline-4-pipéridine sulfamides (QPS) ont été synthétisés et testées in vitro. Une étude en modélisation moléculaire sur le site potentiel de liaison des inhibiteurs sur ENPP1 est en cours, en collaboration avec le Pr Patrick Lagüe (Université Laval, Département de biochimie, microbiologie et bio-informatique) et son équipe pour optimiser le design de la structure des composés. Les composés d’une des familles, les QPS-pyrimidine, ont été testés in vitro sur quelques lignées cellulaires cancéreuses (HT-1080, HT-29, M21 et MCF-7) pour mesurer leur activité antiproliférative. Ces composés ont une inhibition de croissance médiane (IC50) de l’ordre du micromolaire et représentent donc un point de départ intéressant pour la mise au point de nouveaux traitements anticancéreux.

Efeito do 1-MCP no perfil de transcritos diferencias de genes da parede celular, e fotossíntese em maçã cv. Gala armazenada em atmosfera controlada.

Maçãs cv. Gala são conhecidas por apresentarem bom potencial de armazenamento em atmosfera controlada (AC) associada a refrigeração. Condições de 1% de O2; 2% de CO2; 0°C ± 0,5; 90% UR ± 5% são relatadas por preservarem a firmeza de polpa por até nove meses. Entretanto, logo após a saída da AC, uma perda da firmeza é observada, resultando em perdas na qualidade dos frutos durante o transporte e comercialização. Desse modo, o 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP) é utilizado com sucesso em conjunto com a AC, por ser capaz de manter a firmeza de polpa de maçãs mesmo após a saída do armazenamento. O objetivo do trabalho foi elucidar mecanismos pelo qual o 1-MCP preserva a firmeza de polpa da maçã armazenada em AC.

Vibrational spectroscopy of phthalocyanine and naphthalocyanine in sandwich-type (na)phthalocyaninato and porphyrinato rare earth complexes: Part 14. The infrared and Raman characteristics of phthalocyanine in “pinwheel-like” homoleptic bis[1,8,15,22-tetrakis(3-pentyloxy)phthalocyaninato] rare earth(III) double-decker complexes

The infrared (IR) spectroscopic data and Raman spectroscopic properties for a series of 13 “pinwheel-like” homoleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth complexes M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2 [M = Y and Pr–Lu except Pm; H2Pc(α-OC5H11)4 = 1,8,15,22-tetrakis(3-pentyloxy)phthalocyanine] have been collected and comparatively studied. Both the IR and Raman spectra for M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2 are more complicated than those of homoleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth analogues, namely M(Pc)2 and M[Pc(OC8H17)8]2, but resemble (for IR) or are a bit more complicated (for Raman) than those of heteroleptic counterparts M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4], revealing the decreased molecular symmetry of these double-decker compounds, namely S8. Except for the obvious splitting of the isoindole breathing band at 1110–1123 cm−1, the IR spectra of M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2 are quite similar to those of corresponding M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] and therefore are similarly assigned. With laser excitation at 633 nm, Raman bands derived from isoindole ring and aza stretchings in the range of 1300–1600 cm−1 are selectively intensified. The IR spectra reveal that the frequencies of pyrrole stretching and pyrrole stretching coupled with the symmetrical CH bending of –CH3 groups are sensitive to the rare earth ionic size, while the Raman technique shows that the bands due to the isoindole stretchings and the coupled pyrrole and aza stretchings are similarly affected. Nevertheless, the phthalocyanine monoanion radical Pc′− IR marker band of bis(phthalocyaninato) complexes involving the same rare earth ion is found to shift to lower energy in the order M(Pc)2 > M(Pc)[Pc(α-OC5H11)4] > M[Pc(α-OC5H11)4]2, revealing the weakened π–π interaction between the two phthalocyanine rings in the same order.
