Occurrence of the Macrocyclops distinctus (Richard) (Copepoda, cyclopoidida) in Rybinsk reservoir. [Translation of: Materialy po biologii i gidrologii Volzhskikh Vodokhranilishch. Moscow, Leningrad 1963, pp. 13-16]

This brief chapter describes the occurrence Macrocyclops distinctus in the littoral zone of the Rybinsk Reservoir. Sampling was undertaken in summer and autumn 1961. In order to facilitate distinction of M. distinctus and Macrocyclops fuscus the author presents drawings of the whole species and certain characteristic parts of the body, and also gives a description of M. distinctus, comparing it with M. fuscus.

Observations on the behaviour of Polyphemus pediculus and functions of its extremities in the process of feeding. [Translation of: Materialy po biologii i gidrologii Volzhskikh vodokhranilishch, pp. 13-16. Moscow, 1965]

The author summarises observations on the behaviour of Polyphemus pediculus and functions of its extremities in the process of feeding. The crustacean Polyphemus pediculus seizes its prey, kills it and pulverises its food with the help of its extremities. Therefore for a study of its feeding method was necessary not only to have been acquainted in detail with the structure of its extremities, but also to have observed their interaction for the accomplishment of the stated functions.

Prevalência de transtorno do estresse pós-traumático no período pós-parto entre mulheres atendidas em maternidade de referência para agravos perinatais no município do Rio de Janeiro

O Transtorno do estresse pós-traumático (TEPT) é um transtorno mental que ocorre em resposta a um evento traumático que coloca em risco a vida do indivíduo ou de outras pessoas. O TEPT no período pós-parto foi documentado pela primeira vez em 1978. Porém, há poucos estudos sobre o tema, principalmente em gestantes de alto risco materno e fetal. Visando preencher essa lacuna, essa dissertação tem por objetivo estimar a magnitude de TEPT no período pós-parto em uma maternidade de alto risco fetal no município do Rio de Janeiro e identificar subgrupos vulneráveis ao transtorno. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, cuja população de estudo foi composta por 456 mulheres que tiveram o parto no Instituto Fernandes Figueira e realizaram a consulta de revisão pós-parto entre fevereiro e julho de 2011. Casos suspeitos de TEPT foram identificados por meio de dois instrumentos: Trauma History Questionnaire (THQ) utilizado para a captação de situações potencialmente traumáticas ao longo da vida e Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-C) para rastreio de sintomas de TEPT. A prevalência agregada de TEPT no período pós-parto foi de 9,4%. Subgrupos considerados vulneráveis foram: mulheres com três ou mais partos anteriores (15,1%), com o recém-nascido com APGAR menor ou igual a 7 no primeiro minuto (13,6%), com histórico de psicopatologia anterior (29,0%) ou concomitante à gestação (36,7%), com depressão pós-parto (31,5%), mulheres que sofreram violência física (19,8%) e psicológica (11,6%) perpetrada por parceiro íntimo durante a gestação, mulheres que sofreram abuso sexual na infância (25,7%) e com histórico de 5 ou mais situações traumáticas anteriores (25,9%). A elevada prevalência de TEPT encontrada entre as mulheres entrevistadas pode ser, em parte, atribuída às particularidades da população assistida nessa instituição, de reconhecido risco materno e fetal. A alta prevalência de casos suspeitos de depressão pós-parto entre as mulheres com suspeição de TEPT é um fator de preocupação adicional, já que dificulta o manejo clínico dos casos e afasta a mulher e a criança dos serviços de saúde. TEPT no período pós-parto não é um evento raro e merece atenção. Rápido diagnóstico e tratamento são fundamentais para a melhor qualidade de vida da mãe tornando-a apta aos cuidados do recém-nascido.

丁香属（Syringa L.）的分类学修订

丁香属隶属于木犀科，分布于东南欧和东亚至喜马拉雅地区，我国是丁香属的现代分布中心。《中国植物志》（61卷，1992）记录了我国野生丁香种类16种;《Flora of China》（15卷，1996）记录了中国原产丁香种类16种，并认为全世界大约有20种。丁香属属下分类等级划分分歧较大，很多种的划分也存在争议。花叶丁香、四川丁香等种类是根据栽培植物描述的，没有指定模式标本，给分类处理带来了一定困难。另外，丁香属很多分类群的性状变异非常复杂，仅根据有限的标本很难做出合理的分类处理。本研究通过广泛查阅文献和标本，同时进行野外居群取样和性状观察，对各类群的性状在居群内和居群间的变异进行统计学分析，判断其分类价值，并运用多变量分析的方法，为各类群的合理划分提供依据。结合性状分析和地理分布等证据，做出分类处理。 作者查阅了国内外16个标本馆的近2000份标本，其中模式标本约70份。对我国12个省市的40余个居群进行了取样和观察，采集标本500余份，涉及了《中国植物志》61卷收录的除了藏南丁香以外的所有类群。通过对9个复合体的40余个性状在居群内和居群间的变异进行统计分析，发现叶片类型、叶柄长度、花序着生类型、花冠大小、花丝长度、花药颜色在不同类群间差异明显，可以用作划分种的依据;叶片形状、叶片毛被、花序轴毛被、花冠管形状等性状在有些复合体内的居群间呈现连续的变异，只能用作种下等级（亚种）的划分;叶片大小、花序轴形状、花药着生在花冠的位置、蒴果是否被皮孔等性状在不同复合体的居群间呈现间断或连续的变异，视不同情况可以用作种间或种下等级的划分依据，或作种内变异处理;而叶脉、花色、花萼齿裂、花冠裂片形状等性状在居群间差异不大，不适合用作分类依据。 在性状分析和多变量分析的基础上，本文将丁香属划分为2组2系12种13亚种，其中短花冠管组有1种3亚种;长花冠管组的顶生花序系有5种5亚种，侧生花序系有6种5亚种，并指定了各组和系的模式种;编制了属下各组、系、种和亚种划分的检索表，对12种13亚种进行了形态描述、标本引证，给出了地理分布图和生境，并提出了分类处理依据。文中对巧玲花、皱叶丁香、红丁香和云南丁香等复合体内的一些分类群进行了归并，做出4个新组合：S. pubescens ‘Meyer’、S. villosa subsp. wolfii、S. yunnanensis subsp. sweginzowii和S. yunnanensis subsp. tomentella，处理了11个新异名（S. fauriei H. Lév.、S. julianae C. K. Schneid.、S. meyeri var. spontanea M. C. Chang、S. pinetorum W. W. Sm.、S. wardii W. W. Sm.、S. oblata var. donaldii R. B. Clark et J. L. Fiala、S. afghanica C. K. Schneid.、S. protolaciniata P. S. Green et M. C. Chang、S. tibetica P. Y. Bai、S. reflexa C. K. Schneid. 、S. wilsonii C. K. Schneid.）。作者指定了3种4亚种(S. reticulata subsp. reticulata、 S. reticulata subsp. amurensis、S. pubescens subsp. microphylla、S. oblata subsp. dilatata的后选模式，并对其它10个名称指定了后选模式。文中还提出了分类处理原则，对我国丁 香属的分布及各地方植物志的记载进行了评述，并对丁香属的分布格局提出了作者的看法。 作者还对13个分类群的16号材料进行了染色体观察，发现除了毛丁香有染色体2n=48外，其它均为2n=46，其中朝阳丁香的染色体数目为首次报道。对小叶巧玲花不同异名（包括小叶蓝丁香、小叶巧玲花与小叶蓝丁香的杂交种）的材料进行染色体观察时，发现它们之间差异很小，进一步佐证了作者将其合并的合理性。另外野生的花叶丁香（华丁香）与栽培的花叶丁香在染色体数目上也无差异，支持了作者认为二者为同物异名的观点。

豆科植物及其在内蒙古锡林河流域放牧草原生态系统中作用的研究

内蒙古锡林河流域是我国典型温带草原分布地区，也是我国重点牧区之一。近年来，由于人口增加、过度放牧以及管理不善等原因导致草原退化加剧，草原生态系统养分输入输出失衡，草地生产力下降。 豆科植物不仅是高蛋白优质牧草，而且具有生物固氮能力，对维持草地生态系统中土壤-植物-动物之间的氮平衡有重要作用。本论文主要调查研究了内蒙古锡林河流域放牧草原生态系统中豆科植物的分布、固氮能力、微生物状况，并探讨了目前草原大量出现的豆科植物小叶锦鸡儿灌丛在养分供给上对草原生态系统的影响。 豆科植物的分布调查采用样线法在4 种草原植被类型7 个植物群落进行，包括典型草原（羊草群落、大针茅群落及小叶锦鸡儿群落和冷蒿群落2 个退化草原群落）、草甸草原（贝加尔针茅群落）、河漫滩草甸（灰脉苔草群落）及沙地（榆树疏林群落），除榆树疏林群落仅放牧处理外，其他群落均包括放牧和不放牧对照处理。结果显示，豆科植物共有12 属，16 种。放牧总体上降低了豆科植物种群在群落中的数量特征（平均高度、密度、频度）和种类组成，但在退化草原群落中有不同的变化趋势。小叶锦鸡儿在典型草原中分布广、密度大、出现频率高；尤其在小叶锦鸡儿群落放牧样地，出现频度为95%，密度近4 株•m-2。花苜蓿在4 种草原植被类型中均有分布。 典型草原4 个群落在放牧和不放牧条件下土壤微生物碳氮含量和微生物呼吸速率的测定结果显示，放牧影响了豆科植物根际土壤的微生物量和微生物呼吸速率，但各群落变化规律不一致。放牧后小叶锦鸡儿分布最为广泛的小叶锦鸡儿群落在放牧条件下微生物碳含量和微生物呼吸速率都显著增加。小叶锦鸡儿灌丛与其他草本豆科植物相比，根际土壤的微生物量和微生物呼吸速率较高。土壤水分对微生物呼吸速率以及微生物碳氮含量有重要作用，存在极显著的正相关关系。 采用15N 自然丰度法评估野外条件下小叶锦鸡儿和花苜蓿的固氮百分率，计算结果高于100%，这主要是由野外植物叶片δ15N 值低于室内无氮培养的B 值引起的。15N 自然丰度法是否适用于评估草原植物的固氮能力还有待深入研究，但从野外δ15N 测定中也得到了一些有趣的结果。优势豆科和非豆科植物之间的δ15N 差异很大。小半灌木木地肤δ15N 值最高，并在放牧后显著下降，杂类草、禾本科大针茅与之变化趋势相同；具有潜在固氮能力的豆科植物和禾本科羊草在放牧后无显著差异或显著增加；豆科植物小叶锦鸡儿、乳白花黄芪和花苜蓿的叶片δ15N 值均为偏低负值，显著低于非豆科植物。研究结果说明不同植物的氮利用方式不同，豆科植物和羊草的生物固氮可能同时为受氮限制的内蒙古草原提供氮源。 小叶锦鸡儿灌丛影响了周围土壤的有效氮含量。灌丛内部土壤硝态氮和氨态氮有高于外部土壤的趋势。土壤含水量与硝态氮浓度显著正相关。土壤有效氮含量变异系数平均高于50%，土壤资源表现出很强的空间异质性。灌丛内部植物体内全氮含量高于灌丛外，而灌丛斑块发育时间对植物化学元素没有显著影响。

Studies on fish lipids. Pt. 2. Fatty acid composition of lipids of oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps)

Gas-liquid chromatography has been employed for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the component fatty acids in lipids of oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps). Phospholipids and triglycerides of the lipids were previously separated by column chromatography before they were converted into the methyl esters of the fatty acids. The predominant acids present in the depot fat of the fish have been found to be C14:0=8.13%, C16:0=27.9%, C18:0=3.8%, C18:1=15.4%., C20:5=10.6% and C22:6=8.8%. Apart from the above acids the distribution of minor acids belonging to Cl8, C20 and C22 groups have also been worked out. The separated phospholipid fraction contained more than 70% polyunsaturated acids of which the important constituents were docosahexaenoic (C22:6=28%) and eicosapentaenoic (C20:5=10.6%). A marked reduction was found in the amounts of polyunsaturated acids in triglycerides, their total amount registering about 20%. This fraction recorded about 48% of C16 acids of which palmitic and palmitoleic acids amounted to 25.8% and 19.1% respectively. Occurrence of odd numbered fatty acids C15 and C17 has also been noted in the phospholipid and composite samples of the fish.

The bacteriology of oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) and mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) caught from tropical waters off Cochin. 1 - Quantitative aspects

The total aerobic viable plate counts (TPCs) of skin, gills and intestine of newly caught oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) and Indian mackerel ( Rastrelliger kanagurta) at four different temperatures, namely 36 ± 1°C, 28 ± 2°C (RT), 8 ± 1°C and 1 ±1°C, are reported. The total plate count at RT of the skin of oil sardine and Indian mackerel were in the range of l0 super(3) to 10 super(7) and 10 super(4) to 10 super(6) per cm², that of gills in the range of 10 super(5) to 10 super(9) and 10 super(4) to 10 super(8) per g and that intestine in the range of 10 super(5) to 10 sueper(9) and 10 super(5) to 10 super(8) per g respectively. The TPCs were markedly affected by the incubation temperature. Incubation at 28 ± 2°C gave the highest count; at 36 ± 1°C and 8 ± 1°C, the counts decreased by nearly 1-2 log cycles from that at RT. Incubation at 1 ± 1°C registered the lowest count. The peak values for bacterial counts of these fishes occurred at different periods of the year.

Proximate composition of five species of flat fishes

Five species of flat fishes, namely Cynoglossus semifaciatus, C. lida, C. bilineatus, C. macrolepidotus and Psettodes erumei caught in trawlers off Mangalore were analysed for proximate composition of different body parts. These data are discussed in terms of their variability and applications. In whole body of C. lida and C. semifaciatus mean values for moisture, protein, fat and ash content on dry basis respectively were 75.9%, 75.3%, 7.1%, 16.1% and 78.9%, 75.6%. 7.9% and 16.6%. Mean values of these constituents of edible parts in the same order for C. semifaciatus and Psettodes erumei were 77.3%, 80.7%, 7.8%, 10.8% and 77.4%, 86.2%, 3.5% and 11.1% respectively.

Influence of cold storage time on the protein changes and fatty acids deterioration of (Rutilus frisi kutum) during frozen storage

The main aim of this research was to identify fatty acids composition of Caspian sea of White fish Rutilus frisi kutum tissue and their changes during one year cold storage (-18Ċ).The secondary aim was to determine the changes of moisture, ash, protein, fat, and to investigate the effects of storage time on peroxide, TBAi, FFA, and extractability of myofibrillar proteins of the fish tissue during one year cold storage (-18 Ċ). 10 samples of (Rutilus frisi kutum) were randomly collected from Anzali landings. The samples were frozen at -30 Ċ and kept in cold storage at -18Ċ for one year. According to time table, the samples were examined. The results showed that 27 fatty acids were identified. The unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFA) were 74/09 and 21/63 %, respectively, in fresh tissue. So that DHA (C22:6) oleic acid (C18:1c) had high amounts (15/07 ,20/57 ) among the UFA and palmitic acid (C16:0) was the most (13/09 %) among the SFA. The effects of freezing and cold storage on fish tissue showed that UFA and SFA contents have reached to 58/79 and 22/17 %, respectively, at the end of cold storage. It indicated that these compound change to each other during frozen storage. Also ω-3 and ω-6 series of fatty acids was 24/22 and 15/56% in fresh tissue, but their contents decreased to 8/68 and 5/11% at the end of period. Among the fatty acids C22:6, C18:1c and C16:0 had the most changes. The changes of fatty acids were significantly at 95% level expected for C18:0. Results showed that moisture, ash, protein, and fat contents were 75/9±0/03, 1/28±0/012, 21/8±0/2, and 4/1±0/01 % respectively, in fresh tissue. The moisture, ash, protein, and fat contents were 72/3±0/04, 1/83±0/05, 1/91±0/01 and 19/9±0/01 % respectively, at the end of storage period. Lipid damage was measured on the basis of free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and Thiobarbituric acid index (TBA-i). PV, TBARS and FFA concentration of frozen Caspian Sea white fish stored at -18 Ċ the temporal variation of these three variables were statistically significant (p<0.001). Results of White fish myofibrillar proteins showed aggregation of bound reduced for stored at 12 months. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that, the intensity of the myosin heavy chain and actin bound was reduced with increasing storage time. SDS-PAGE patterns showed that myosin heavy chain was much more susceptible to hydrolysis than actin. Key words: Rutilus frisi kutum, frozen storage, ω-3, ω-6, protein myofibrillar

Award Winner in the Young Investigator Category, 2014 Society for Biomaterials Annual Meeting and Exposition, Denver, Colorado, April 16-19, 2014: Periodically perforated core-shell collagen biomaterials balance cell infiltration, bioactivity, and mechanical properties.

Orthopedic tissue engineering requires biomaterials with robust mechanics as well as adequate porosity and permeability to support cell motility, proliferation, and new extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. While collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) scaffolds have been developed for a range of tissue engineering applications, they exhibit poor mechanical properties. Building on previous work in our lab that described composite CG biomaterials containing a porous scaffold core and nonporous CG membrane shell inspired by mechanically efficient core-shell composites in nature, this study explores an approach to improve cellular infiltration and metabolic health within these core-shell composites. We use indentation analyses to demonstrate that CG membranes, while less permeable than porous CG scaffolds, show similar permeability to dense materials such as small intestine submucosa (SIS). We also describe a simple method to fabricate CG membranes with organized arrays of microscale perforations. We demonstrate that perforated membranes support improved tenocyte migration into CG scaffolds, and that migration is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor BB-mediated chemotaxis. CG core-shell composites fabricated with perforated membranes display scaffold-membrane integration with significantly improved tensile properties compared to scaffolds without membrane shells. Finally, we show that perforated membrane-scaffold composites support sustained tenocyte metabolic activity as well as improved cell infiltration and reduced expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α compared to composites with nonperforated membranes. These results will guide the design of improved biomaterials for tendon repair that are mechanically competent while also supporting infiltration of exogenous cells and other extrinsic mediators of wound healing.
