Although the plants have developed some adaptive behaviors and avoidance mechanisms against heat stress, they will be hurt under extreme high temperature. Exogenous compounds could enhance plant growth and development, antioxidant enzymes activities, chlorophyll and nutrient contents under stress conditions. Meanwhile, application of exogenous compounds sustains physiological and biochemical process and prevents plants from physiological changes under stress conditions. In this review, effects of heat stress upon crops, and the functions of hormones in plant adaptation to heat stress are simply stated. Then, we intend to appraise how various phytohomrnones that are related to plant adaptation to heat stress. The role of abscisic acid(ABA), salicylic acid(SA) and polyamines(putrescine and spermine) under heat stress conditions are mainly discussed.展开更多

Methods: Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham (group A), I/R (group B), and I/R plus CDDP (group C). Retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (RIRI) was introduced by increasing the intraocular pressure (IOP) to 110 mmHg for 60 min via cannulation into the anterior chamber. Right after the insult, CDDP was administered intragastrically (450 mg/kg/d) for 7 days. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT) in the retinal tissues were determined on d1 and d7 after the ischemic insult. Results: Following ischemia, the MDA levels in group B and group C were significantly higher than those in group A (p < 0.01). CDDP significantly lowered MDA levels in group C when compared with group B (p < 0.01). The activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT were higher in group A than in group B and group C (p < 0.01). CDDP could increase the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT remarkably in group C when compared with group B (p < 0.01). Conclusion: CDDP can protect the retina from I/R injury through reducing oxidative stress, and thus may be a promising method for the treatment of ischemic retinal disorders.展开更多

In some cases, under one or many environmental stresses, senescence is triggered in plants. Despite many studies in the area, less consideration has been given to plant secondary metabolites, especially the role of VTCs on plant senescence. This review seeks to capture the biosynthesis and signal transduction of VTCs, the physiology of VTCs in plant development and how that is linked to some phytohormones to induce senescence. Much progress has been made in the elucidation of metabolic pathways leading to the biosynthesis of VTCs. In addition to the classical cytosolic mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway from acetyl-CoA, the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, originating from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) and pyruvate, leads to the biosynthesis of isoprenoid precursors, isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethyl allyl diphosphate. VTCs synthesis and emission are believed to be tightly regulated by photosynthetic carbon supply into MEP pathway. Thus, under abiotic stresses such as drought, high salinity, high and low temperature, and low CO2 that directly affect stomatal conductance and ultimately biochemical limitation to photosynthesis, there has been observed induction of VTC synthesis and emissions, reflecting the elicitation of MEP pathway. This reveals the possibility of important function(s) of VTCs in plant defense against stress by mobilizing resources from components of plants and therefore, senescence. Our current understanding of the relationship between environmental responses and senescence mostly comes from the study of senescence response to phytohormones such as abscisic acid, jasmonic acid, ethylene and salicylic acid, which are extensively involved in response to various abiotic and biotic stresses. These stresses affect synthesis and/or signaling pathways of phytohormones to eventually trigger expression of stress-responsive genes, which in turn appears to affect leaf senescence. Comparison of plant response to stresses in relation to patterns of VTCs and phytohormones biosynthesis indicates a considerable crosstalk between these metabolic processes and their signal to plant senescence.展开更多

A total of 282 metabolites were stably detected in the two groups using OPI.S-DA (orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis) method; 148 of which were down-regulated while 134 were up-regulated. After analyzed with MZ-minc software, 10 major metabolites (4 down, 6 up) were identified through searehing public database. Aromatic compounds, 3-p-eoumaroyll, 5-quinolaetone, aromatic free amino acids, styraxin mad methanofuran, were up-regulated ; grease metabolites, methyl 15-hydroperoxy-9Z, 12Z, 16E-octadecatrienoate, 9,12,13-Tri-HOME (10), 3-oxo-dodecanoic acid, and 13 (S)-HpOTrE acid ester, were down-regulated; piperanine (alkaloids) was down-regulated while Methyl 7-epi-12-hydroxyjasmonate glucoside (indicant) was up-regulated. In a word, aromatic compounds and liquid metabolites may play vital roles in drought-resistant regulation of tall fescue.展开更多

A total of 101 patients (40 male and 61 female) who visited our clinic with a chief complaint of oral malodor were included in this study. The primary compounds of oral malodor—volatile sulfur compounds (VSC)—were measured using the Oral ChromaTM instrument. Salivary stress markers, cortisol, and chromogranin A were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The mood was measured using the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS2). Among the participants, 60.3% had at least one level above the threshold in the following three markers: hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide. The gender distribution was 35 female (57.4%) and 25 male (62.5%). Salivary cortisol levels, a biomarker of stress, did not vary depending on the presence or absence of oral malodor. Chromogranin A levels were higher in the oral malodor female group than in the no oral malodor female group. With respect to the POMS2, regardless of the presence or absence of oral malodor measured using gas chromatography, the participants had higher scores for “Anger-Hostility” and “Fatigue-Inertia”. Analysis by gender showed that “Depression-Dejection” was significantly higher in the oral malodor female group than in the no oral malodor female group. These results suggest that those who are worried about oral malodor have higher psychological stress than those who are not, regardless of the presence or absence of oral malodor measured using gas chromatography.展开更多

Based on the force balance of water in each sub-section, the average velocities of the main channel, side slope, and floodplain are derived. The lateral momentum exchanges between the sub-sections are expressed by using the apparent shear stress. To verify the model, seven groups of UK Flood Channel Facility (UK-FCF) measured data with a relative water depth between the floodplain and the main channel varying from 0.057 to 0.4 are used for comparison. The result shows that the calculated velocity is larger than the measured data when the relative water depth is small, while it is less than or close to the measured value in the case of a larger relative water depth. The influence of the apparent shear stress on the calculation of velocity on the floodplain is not obvious, while it is much greater on the main channel. The three-stage model is compared with Liu’s two-stage model, showing that the former can give a better prediction for a three-stage trapezoidal compound channel. Finally, the apparent shear stress is calculated and compared with the measured data. The result shows that the chosen values of the momentum transfer coefficients are appropriate.展开更多

Stress distribution at the diffusion-bonded interface was researched by numerical simulation and finite element method (FEM). The results indicated that the peak stress appeared at the interface near Cr18-Ni8 steel side. This is the key factor to induce crack at this position. With the enhancement of heating temperature, the peak stress at the bonded interface increases. When the temperature is 1 100 22, the peak stress is up to 65.9 MPa, which is bigger than that at 1 000 22 by 9. 4%. In addition, the peak stress becomes bigger with the increase of the thickness of base metal from 1 mm to 8 ram. While the thickness is more than 8 ram, the peak stress varies slightly with the change of the thickness.展开更多

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of supplementation polyphenols-rich extracts from different parts of Opuntia joconostle against carbon tetrachloride-induced oxidative stress in a mouse model. The animals were treated orally with polyphenols-rich extracts at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg BW for 30 consecutive days. On day 30th the mice received carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) as hepatoxic agent. Biochemical evaluations were carried out 24 h after induction of the oxidative stress. Data showed that methanolic extracts from different parts of Opuntia joconostle exerting protective effect against the CCl4-induced oxidative stress in mice. Histology examination revealed that the damage decreased in groups treated with polyphenols-rich extracts compared to the group that did not receive any treatment. Opuntia joconostle fruit contains many phenolic compounds, flavonoids and betalains. The protective effect of extracts may be related to the phenolic composition and also by a counteraction with other compounds, such as betalains and flavonoids that increase their antioxidant effect.展开更多

The results show that the compound layer of plasma nitriding can delay the nucleation of heat cracks and hold back the propagation of heat cracks from surface to substrate because of its high hardness and strength. On the other land, the heat checking expands faster with the compound layer on the surface than that without it. After 3000 cycles of thermal fatigue test, both heat cracks with the compound layer are wider than the another without compound layer and the number of heat cracks of the former is more from the view of cross section.展开更多
