Environmental and Biochemical Factors Controlling the in Vitro Emergence of Somatic Embryos in European Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus L)

2000

The European spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus L. Celastraceae) is a shrubby tree widely distributed in temperate regions of western European countries from the northern part of France to St. Petersburg and the western part of Russia. The Celastraceae comprises 55 genera, including at least 850 known species of trees and shrubs which are found in tropical and temperate regions. Various secondary metabolites are elaborated in the family including steroids, triterpenoids, sesquiterpene, peptide ore alkaloids. The spindle tree is commonly found in quickset hedges and small broad-leaved forests when the soil is deep, moist, clayey and chalky. The leaves are relatively small (3–4 cm long) simple …

Diagnostic morphology of human eye-related storage disorders

1989

While retina and other ocular tissues are involved clinically and morphologically in a variety of lysosomal disorders, it is only the conjunctiva that is accessible by biopsy to morphological, i.e., electron microscopic recognition of the patient's individual lysosomal disease. However, this procedure is not utilized by many. Instead, skin and circulating lymphocytes are the most frequently obtained tissues for diagnostic investigation, as skin contains an abundance of diversified cell types for morphological examination and simultaneously fibroblasts to be cultured for biochemical investigation. It is the tissue most suitable for identifying lysosomal disorders and parallels in diagnostic …

Marklose nervenfasern im Senium und im Sp�tstadium der Thalidomid-Polyneuropathie: quantitativ-elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchungen

1977

Sural nerve biopsies of four patients, aged 54–76 years, with a predominantly sensory type of neuropathy following high dosages of thalidomide were examined by light and electron microscopy. The present study includes a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of unmyelinated nerve fibers. Despite severe neuropathy, increased numbers of small unmyelinated axons per endoncurial area were noted in all patients. This numerical increase appeared to be independent of aging, since it was not seen in two senile controls, studied at the age of 83 and 88 years. The increase in the endoneurial density of unmyelinated axons, especially of small sized fibers, is likely to be related to regeneration foll…

Cannabinoids mediate analgesia largely via peripheral type 1 cannabinoid receptors in nociceptors

2007

Although endocannabinoids constitute one of the first lines of defense against pain, the anatomical locus and the precise receptor mechanisms underlying cannabinergic modulation of pain are uncertain. Clinical exploitation of the system is severely hindered by the cognitive deficits, memory impairment, motor disturbances and psychotropic effects resulting from the central actions of cannabinoids. We deleted the type 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) specifically in nociceptive neurons localized in the peripheral nervous system of mice, preserving its expression in the CNS, and analyzed these genetically modified mice in preclinical models of inflammatory and neuropathic pain. The nociceptor-spec…

Ozone Therapy as treatment for severe cases without good evolution in ophthalmology [abstract]

2019

PURPOSE: In ophthalmology many diseases lead to irreversible blindness, something that implies millions of dollars in care because people with these difficulties loose their autonomy, becoming dependent in all their everyday activities.
 This presentation will focus on clinical cases of the following pathologies treated with Ozone Therapy because all these were already being treated in a conventional way without signs of improvement. They are primary open-angle glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, occlusion of the central retinal artery, facial paralysis and herpetic polyneuropathy associated with orbital apex syndrome.
 
 CASE PRESENTATION: As an…

Effects of irrigation on fruit ripening behavior and metabolic changes in olive

2012

Olive (Olea europaea, cv Leccino) fruits grown under different water regimes were analyzed by metabolomics and specific transcript accumulation analyses. The fruit from non-irrigated (rain-fed) and irrigated trees cultivated under field conditions, with a seasonal water amount equivalent to the calculated crop evapotranspiration (ETc) was compared in the last developmental phase and, in particular, at commercial harvest. Metabolomics (GC-MS) analysis identified several hundred metabolites in ripe mesocarp, 46 of which showed significantly different contents in the rain-fed and irrigated samples. Some compounds involved in primary metabolism (carbohydrates, amino acids, organic acids) and se…

MOLECULAR AND METABOLIC ANALYSES IN DEVELOPING OLIVE FRUIT IN RELATION TO DIFFERENT WATER REGIMES

2011

Despite the global economic importance of olive (Olea europaea L.), little is known about the molecular and metabolic changes during fruit development and the modulation of quality-related metabolic pathways during drought stress. In this work, we report the expression pattern of genes involved in important pathways of secondary metabolism (polyphenols, terpenoids) during fruit development in rainfed or fully irrigated olive plants. Phenolic compounds represent a complex mixture in both olive fruits and oil. The interest on these compounds is due to their demonstrated anti-atherogenic and anti-cancerogenic effects providing to the olive oil important nutraceutical properties. Several parame…
