Farmakološki aktivne supstance kestena (Castanea sativa Mill.) / PHARMACOLOGICALY ACTIVE SUPSTANCES OF SWEET CHESTNUT (Castanea sativa Mill.)Živković Jelena 28 August 2009 (has links)
<p>Upotrebom 50% etanola i 50% acetona kao ekstragensa izvršena je ekstrakcija delova ploda kestena: srž ploda, braon spoljna kora ploda, crvena unutrašnja kora ploda, ceo plod (bez ježevica), kao i drveta: lišće, resa, ježevice, stara i mlada kora stabla. Ispitivani su pitomi kesten, lovranski marun i kalemljeni italijanski marun. Nakon određivanja prinosa suvog ekstrakta, primenom standardnih spektrofotometrijskih metoda određen je sadržaj fenolnih jedinjenja, flavonoida i kondenzovanih tanina. Iako je primenom 50% acetona kao ekstragensa dobijen veći prinos fenolnih materija, flavonoida i kondenzovanih tanina, za proizvodnju ekstrakata se preporučuje 50% etanol kao ekstragens, jer obezbeđuje sasvim zadovoljavajuće rezultate, a prihvatljiviji je sa aspekta znatno niže toksičnosti.<br />Ekstrakt lista lovranskog maruna i rese pitomog kestena roda 2007. godine štite eritrocite od hemolize izazvane H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.<br />Glavne komponente hidrolizata nakon metanolizacije ekstrakata su dimetil estar dehidrodigalne kiseline i metil estar dilaktona elaginske i valoneinske kiseline. Kvantitativnom LC/MS i HPLC/DAD analizom najveći sadržaj elagitanina je utvrđen za ekstrakt ježevica (170,6 mg/g ekstrakta).<br />Izvšeno je ispitivanje antioksidativne aktivnosti ekstrakata u odnosu na 1,1-difenil-2-pikrilhidrazil (DPPH), hidroksi (<sup>•</sup>OH) i superoksidni anjon (<sup>•</sup>O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>) radikale. Kapacitet ekstrakata za transformaciju organskih hidrofilnih radikala, ispitan kao sposobnost redukcije spin probe Tempon je najveći za ekstrakt rese pitomog kestena (A = 18,1%), dok ekstrakti lista pitomog kestena i mlade kore drveta ispoljavaju slabu aktivnost. Ispitivanje protektivnog delovanja ekstrakata u odnosu na UV zračenje određeno je kao sposobnost uklanjanja <sup>•</sup>OH i <sup>•</sup>O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> radikala nastalih nakon zračenja. Ekstrakti koji ispoljavaju pozitivne, ali relativno niske RI vrednosti za proizvodnju obe vrste radikala <sup>•</sup>OH i <sup>•</sup>O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> su spoljna braon kora lovranskog maruna, resa sa kalemljenog italijanskog maruna i list lovranskog maruna. Negativne RI vrednosti dobijene za ostale ekstrakte ukazuju na prooksidativnu aktivnost u vodenom rastvoru izloženom UV zračenju. Ekstrakti rese, lista i ježevica ispoljavaju aktivnost u cilju preveniranja/otklanjanja lipidne peroksidacije membrane eritrocita.<br />Ispitivanjem<em> in vitro</em> antioksidativne aktivnosti primenom MTT testa je utvrđeno da ekstrakti rese i ježevica pitomog kestena i lista lovranskog maruna imaju izuzetno visoku antioksidativnu aktivnost u ćeliji. Naročito je povoljna činjenica da deluju u niskim koncentracijama (0,02 mg/ml). Antimikrobna aktivnost ekstrakata <em>C. sativa </em>određena je u odnosu na (G+) bakterije: <em>S. aureus, S. lutea, B. cereus, L. lactis ssp. lactis, M. pyrogenes var. albus</em>, kao i na (G-) bakterije: <em>P. mirabilis i S. typhimurium</em>. Značajnu antimikrobnu aktivnost daju ekstrakti kore drveta, ježevica i spoljne braon kore ploda. Ekstrakti srži ploda i celog ploda nisu ispoljili antimikrobnu aktivnost. Postoji značajna i jako značajna korelacija između antimikrobne aktivnosti ekstrakata, kao i antimikrobne i antioksidativne aktivnosti u odnosu na superoksid anjon radikale. Ekstrakti lista, ježevica, spoljne braon i unutrašnje crvene kore ploda, kao i kore drveta <em>C. sativa</em> Mill. dobijeni primenom 50% etanola kao ekstragensa predstavljaju značajan izvor komponenata sa farmakološkim delovanjem u cilju smanjenja nivoa oksidativnog stresa, poseduju visok kapacitet sprečavanja lipidne peroksidacije, deluju u pravcu preveniranja/otklanjanja lipidne peroksidacije i zaštite membrane eritrocita, imaju visoku <em>in vitro</em> antioksidativnu aktivnost, a ispoljavaju i značajnu antimikrobnu aktivnost.</p> / <p>Parts of chestnut such as: seeds (without spiny burs), peeled chestnut, red internal seed coat and brown seed coat, as well as parts of the trees: leaf, catkin, spiny burs, young and old chestnut bark have been extracted by 50% ethanol and 50% acetone as an extragent. Three cultivars of <em>Castanea sativa</em> Mill.: sweet chestnut, Lovran's marrone and grafted Italian marrone were examined. After determination of the yield of dry extract, the content of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and condensed tannins are determined by application of standard spectrophotometrics methods. Although, the highest content of total phenolics, flavonoids and condensed tannins are obtained by 50% acetone as extragents, for production of extracts 50% ethanol is more suitable, regards much lower toxicity.<br />Extracts of the leaf of Lovran's marrone and catkin of sweet chestnut native in 2007, protect erythrocytes from hemolysis provoked by H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.<br />Dehydrodigallic acid dimethyl ester, ellagic acid and valoneic acid dilactone methyl ester are the main compounds in all hydrolysates after methanolisation. The highest content of ellagitannin was detected in extract of spiny burs (170.6 mg/g extract), by application of quantitative LC/MS and HPLC/DAD analysis.<br />The examination of antioxidant activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl (<sup>•</sup>OH) and superoxide (<sup>•</sup>O2<sup>-</sup>) radicals have been done. Capacity of extracts for removal of organic, hydrophilic radicals, exanimate as potential of reduction of spin probe Tempon is highest in extract of catkin of sweet chestnut (A = 18.1%), while extracts of catkin, leaf and spiny burs almost have no antioxidative activity. The evaluation of UV-protective activity of extracts is determinated as capacity for removal of <sup>•</sup>OH and O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> radicals generated after irradiation. Extracts which showed positive, but relative low RI values for production of both radical species, OH and <sup>•</sup>O<sub>2</sub> radicals, are brown seed coat of Lovran's marrone, catkin of grafted Italian marrone and leaf of Lovran's marrone. Negative RI values obtained for other extracts show that these have prooxidative activity in aqueous solution exposed to UV radiation. Extracts of catkin, leaf and spiny burs expressed activity to prevent/remove lipid peroxidation in the membrane of erythrocytes.<br />Examination of antioxidant activity <em>in vitro</em> by application of MTT test have been detected especially high antioxidant activity of extracts of catkin, spiny bur of sweet chestnut and leaf of Lovran’s marrone in the cell. Particularly is favorable that extracts acting in low concentration (0.02 mg/ml). Antimicrobial activity of extracts of <em>C. sativa</em> was determinated against Gram-positive bacteria:<em> S. aureus, S. lutea, B. cereus, L. lactis ssp. lactis, M. pyrogenes var. albus</em>, as well as Gram-negative bacteria: <em>P. mirabilis and S. typhimurium</em>. The significant antimicrobial activity shows extracts of bark, spiny burs and brown seed coat. Extracts of peeled chestnut and seeds didn’t show any antimicrobial activity. The very significant and significant correlation existed between antimicrobial activity of extracts, as well as antimicrobial activity and scavenging of<sup> •</sup>O2<sup>-</sup> radical. Extracts of leaf, spiny burs, brown seed coat and red internal seed coat, as well as bark of <em>C. sativa</em> Mill. produced by 50% ethanol as extragent represent important resource of components with pharmacological activity in reducing level of oxidative stress, possess high activity to prevent/remove lipid peroxidation and protection of the membrane of erythrocytes, have high<em> in vitro</em> antioxidant activity, and also express significant antimicrobial activity.</p>

COMPARATIVE ECOPHYSIOLOGY OF AMERICAN CHESTNUT UNDER DIFFERENT PLANTING TREATMENTS ON RECLAIMED MINE SITESMiller, Christopher Ryan 01 May 2010 (has links)
American chestnut was once an abundant species that dominated the Eastern U.S. deciduous forests. Although this species is currently functionally extinct due to the chestnut blight, researchers are working on blight-resistant hybrids in hopes of restoring the species. As one potential vector for chestnut reintroduction and dispersal, the reclamation of mine sites are being considered. Recent research has found that reforestation efforts on these reclaimed mine sites provide productive tree growth while also complying with mine-reclamation laws. Understanding how American chestnut performs physiologically on mine sites will aid in the restoration of this species and reclamation of mine sites.
The objective of this study was to determine the effect planting treatments have on survival, physiology, and performance of American chestnut. The response of American chestnuts under planting treatments varying in planting method, slow-release fertilizer, a hydrophilic root polymer (Terra-Sorb), and the addition of native forest soil were examined at three sites: a mine site, a quarry, and a greenhouse. Results from this study suggest that fertilizer, hydrophilic root polymers and soil microorganisms produce varying effects on dissimilar sites. Greatest overall survival was found in greenhouse-grown bare-root seedlings. The introduction of fertilizer to the soil substrate lowered emergence and survival of directly-seeded trees at the mine site and quarry, but increased tree growth at all sites and photosynthetic rate at the quarry. However, use of fertilizer resulted in a more negative water potential at the mine site and higher transpiration rate, potentially increasing moisture stress and demand. Increased seed survival, growth, and water status can be accomplished through the use of Terra-Sorb, but only in direct seeded trees on sites with potentially deficient plant-available water. Native forest soil can increase survival in both direct seeded and bare-root planted trees. However, more research is needed on the benefits of native forest soil, as growth and physiological results conflict. It is recommended that site characterization be performed prior to selection of planting treatments. Results of this study can prove beneficial to reclamation specialists with an interest in using mine site reclamation in conjunction with American chestnut restoration.

Etude des propriétés mécaniques et du retrait au séchage du bois à l'échelle de la paroi cellulaire : essai de compréhension du comportement macroscopique paradoxal du bois de tension à couche gélatineuseClair, Bruno 21 August 2001 (has links) (PDF)
Des mesures de contraintes de croissance, de module élastique aux états saturé et sec, de point de saturation des fibres et de retrait au séchage sont réalisées sur 96 petits échantillons de châtaigner caractérisés dans l'arbre par une précontrainte allant d'une légère compression jusqu'à une forte tension. Sur ces échantillons, des observations anatomiques ont permis de déterminer le pourcentage de fibres à couche gélatineuse (couche G). L'influence de ces fibres atypiques sur les propriétés macroscopiques du bois est examinée et discutée. Les propriétés de ces fibres dans des conditions théoriques isolées sont ensuite déterminées par un modèle simple.<br />Les fibres à couche G semblant être le moteur du fort retrait axial du bois de tension, une observation du comportement au séchage à l'échelle de la paroi cellulaire est mise au point. Des observations en microscopie électronique à balayage et en microscopie à force atomique montrent que, en plus de son fort retrait transverse, la couche G a aussi un très fort retrait longitudinal. Une approche simple de modélisation par éléments finis est proposée pour rendre compte des phénomènes observés.<br />Afin de récolter des données pour la modélisation, deux outils complémentaires sont mis au point pour une estimation des propriétés élastiques et viscoélastiques des couches de la paroi cellulaire. La réalisation d'un microscope acoustique en transmission et l'utilisation de la microscopie atomique en mode contact vibrant permettent d'envisager la caractérisation quantitative des propriétés mécaniques à l'échelle de la paroi dans différentes conditions d'humidité.

Revision of the Subgenus Prionus (Neopolyarthron) Semenov (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Prioninae) in North America, with Notes on Prionus (Antennalia) CaseySchiefer, Terence L 14 December 2018 (has links) (PDF)
The classification of North American species of Prionus (Prionus) Geoffroy is reevaluated, with three subgenera recognized: P. (Antennalia) Casey, revived status, P. (Neopolyarthron) Semenov, revived status, and P. (Prionus). Prionus (Neopolyarthron) is revised and consists of P. imbricornis (Linnaeus), P. debilis Casey, revived status, and P. cuneatus Casey, revived status, with the latter two species removed from synonymy with P. imbricornis. Prionus robustus Casey, new synonymy, and P. fissicornis parviceps Casey, revised synonymy, are transferred from synonymy with P. imbricornis to synonymy with P. cuneatus and P. fissicornis respectively. Keys to North American subgenera of Prionus and to species of P. (Neopolyarthron) are provided. Species of P. (Neopolyarthron) are redescribed, diagnosed, and illustrated, and the distribution, hosts, habitat, and conservation status of each are discussed. Species distribution maps are provided, along with 26 new state records. Prionus fissicornis is diagnosed, and type specimens of its synonyms are reviewed and illustrated.
