Patrones de selección de microalgas en comunidades de líquenes terrícolas en biocostras
2020
Las costras biológicas de los suelos (biocostras, CBS) están constituidas por una combinación de organismos, tanto fotoautótrofos como heterótrofos, que viven dentro o sobre la superficie de los suelos, los cuales, con sus interacciones y actividades, generan una capa conjunta con las partículas del sustrato. Los líquenes, debido a la complejidad de sus simbiosis son capaces de colonizar estos hábitats adversos para otros vegetales, gracias a sus adaptaciones ecofisiológicas. Las biocostras dominadas por líquenes son muy abundantes en los claros de los matorrales y pastizales que se desarrollan en los territorios yesíferos. Su diversidad, participación en los ciclos biogeoquímicos y potenci…
Systematic mapping review of interventions to prevent blood loss, infection and relapse in orthognathic surgery
2023
This systematic mapping review aims to identify, describe, and organize the currently available evidence in systematic reviews (SR) and primary studies regarding orthognathic surgery (OS) co-interventions and surgical modalities, focusing on the outcomes blood loss, infection and relapse. A comprehensive search strategy was performed to identify all SRs, randomized controlled trials and observational studies that evaluate surgical modalities and perioperative co-interventions in OS that evaluate the outcomes blood loss, infection and relapse, regardless of language or publication date. Searches were conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Epistemonikos, Lilacs, Web of Science, and CENTRAL. In additio…
Air Quality Assessment by the Determination of Trace Elements in Lichens (Xanthoria calcicola) in an Industrial Area (Sicily, Italy)
2022
This study provides data on variation in the content of metals and metalloids measured in the lichens (Xanthoria calcicola Oxner) collected in the Syracusan petrochemical complex (Sicily, Italy) which is considered one of the largest in Europe. Concentrations of eighteen trace elements measured in the lichens that were collected from 49 different points were analyzed using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) device. The concentrations of the typical elements of industrial emissions (As, Cr, Ni, and V) highlight the environmental criticality that exists in the study area. The interpretation of the data in terms of multi-element statistical analysis (FA) and enrichment factor (EFs) proved …
The fnr Gene of Bacillus licheniformis and the Cysteine Ligands of the C-Terminal FeS Cluster
1998
Many of the O2-responsive gene regulators of bacteria are members of the fumarate nitrate reductase-cyclic AMP receptor protein family of transcriptional regulators (12, 13, 15, 17) with predicted structures similar to those of the cyclic AMP receptor protein (11). The Fnr (stands for fumarate nitrate reductase regulator) protein from Escherichia coli (FnrEc) controls the expression of a variety of genes, mainly of anaerobic respiration and metabolism (5, 13). It contains a N-terminal cluster of three essential cysteine residues which are supposed to bind together with Cys122 a [4Fe 4S]2+ cluster which is required for O2 sensing (4, 7, 8, 10, 16). A wide variety of gram-negative bacteria co…
Determination of the atmospheric precipitation pH value on the basis of the analysis of lichen cationoactive layer constitution
2006
Studies of equilibria and kinetics of the ion exchange process between the surrounding (water solution) and lichens prove that the number of mobile hydrogen ions bonded in lichens depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions in the precipitation with which the lichens are in contact and the type and concentration of other cations contained in the precipitation. The measurement of these values was suggested; as a result, it enabled to determine the pH of precipitation by determination of mobile cations bonded in exposed or naturally grown lichens. The studies were conducted on Hypogymnia physodes lichens.

Energiapuuta käytetään yhä enemmän uusiutuvan energian lähteenä. Energiapuun korjuussa hakkuutähteitä eli kantoja, oksia ja latvuksia kerätään päätehakkuun ja harvennuksen yhteydessä hakkuualoilta. Tämä vähentää erityisesti pienikokoisen lahopuun ja kantojen määrää. Lahopuu on tärkeä resurssi boreaalisissa metsissä, mutta sen määrä talousmetsissä on alhainen luonnonmetsiin verrattuna. Määrän väheneminen edelleen energiapuun korjuun seurauksena voi johtaa lahopuusta riippuvaisen monimuotoisuuden vähenemiseen, minkä vuoksi on tärkeää tutkia energiapuun korjuun monimuotoisuusvaikutuksia. Teoriat pinta-alan ja habitaatin heterogeenisyyden vaikutuksesta lajimäärään ovat yksiä tärkeimmistä lajimä…
Clinicopathologic data of individuals with oral lichen planus : a Brazilian case series
2019
Background The aim of the present series was to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics, clinicopathologic features, and oral health-related quality of life of 41 individuals with oral lichen planus (OLP). Material and Methods In a retrospective analysis (1998-2018), individuals with a clinical diagnosis of OLP from a referral service of Oral Medicine of Brazil were invited for follow-up. The individuals were assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) form. Histopathological data were reviewed according to the latest criteria proposed by the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (AAOMP/2016). Results This series mainly consisted of females (70.7%) in thei…
Oral Lichen Planus : risk factors of malignant transformation and follow up. Ten years retrospective study
2020
Background Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is an inflammatory chronic disease. Modified World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria (2003) suggest diagnosing OLP both clinically and histologically. Furthermore, it is known the potential of malignant transformation of OLP, especially those affecting mucosa. Aims of this retrospective study on 100 patients were i) to estimate the timing of transformation of OLP lesions in OSCC in a cohort of patients observed between 2008 and 2018; ii) to assess risk factors of OLP patients diagnosed with OSCC; iii) to analyse forms of OLP evolved in cancer. Material and methods A database of 100 patients diagnosed with OLP was evaluated and clinical, histol…
