Thirty one different genera of fungi were isolated from the wood of roots of 5O·year·old oak (<i>Quercus robur</i>). The most frequently isolated fungi were: <i>Mycelium radicis atrovirens alpha (MRAA), Clonostachys</i> sp. and <i>Penicillium daleae, Beauveria bassiana, Clonostachys sp., Cryplosporiopsis rodicicolo, Geotrichum candidum, Mortierella vinacea, MRAA, P. daleae, P. janczewskii P. spinulosum, Sporothrix schenckii</i> and <i>Tolypocladium niveum</i> significantly enhanced <i>Armillaria mellea</i> rhizomorph initiation and growth from oak branch segments <i>in vitro</i>. The biggest stimulation effect was noticed when the dematiaceous hyphomycetes, e.g. <i>MRAA, P. dimorphospora</i> and <i>S. schenckii</i> were studied.

Collagen Stimulation

SummaryIt is shown that the supernatant of unstirred whole blood at 37° C, stimulated by 1 μg/ml of collagen for 10 sec, produces a rapid generation of pro and antiaggregatory compounds with a final proaggregatory activity which can be detected for more than 60 min on a platelet rich plasma (PRP) by turbidometric aggregometry. A reversible aggregation wave that we have called BASIC wave (for Blood Aggregation Stimulatory and Inhibitory Compounds) is recorded. The collagen stimulation of unstirred PRP produces a similar but smaller BASIC wave. BASIC’s intensity increases if erythrocytes are added to PRP but decreases if white blood cells are added instead. Aspirin abolishes “ex vivo” the ability of whole blood and PRP to generate BASIC waves and dipyridamole “in vitro” significantly reduces BASIC’s intensity in whole blood in every tested sample, but shows little effect in PRP.

ABSTRACT 1. Reserpine does not inhibit the tissue respiration of liver in normal male rats (in vitro). 2. The decrease of tissue respiration of the liver with simultaneous morphological stimulation of the thyroid gland after long administration of reserpine is due to a minute inhibition of the hormone synthesis in the thyroid gland. 3. The morphological alterations of the thyroid in experimental hypothyroidism due to perchlorate can not be prevented with reserpine.

ABSTRACT Whether the short-term regulation of thyroidal protein synthesis by TSH occurs at the transcriptional or the translational level was tested by measuring the effect of actinomycin D (act D) on the TSH-induced stimulation of L-14C-leucine incorporation into the thyroidal proteins of rats. TSH was injected 6 h before the rats were killed. The thyroid glands were then removed and incubated in vitro in the presence of L-14C-leucine for 2 h. The pronounced stimulation of leucine incorporation in the TSH-treated animals was depressed as compared with controls but still significant even when the animals had been pre-treated with 100 μg act D 24 and 7 h before sacrifice. On the other hand, act D strongly decreased incorporation of 3H-uridine into RNA. Short-term regulation of thyroidal protein synthesis by TSH appears to be partly but not wholly dependent on neosynthesis of RNA. Hence regulation may partly occur at the translation level of protein synthesis.

This study which designed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Ethanolic extract of (Quercusrobur) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles on the growth of one genus of enterobacteriacae (Salmonella). In vitro. For this purpose graduate concentrates for plant extract (50, 100, 200, 400 )mg/ml which prepared and compared with Zinc oxide nanoparticles of different concentration (2, 1, 0.5, 0.25) μg/ml,and examined. The result showed that the studied medicinal plant has antibacterial activity against this bacteria which used. The result showed that the plant has good activity in decrease the growth of this bacteria. The results of the study also showed that the nano-ZnO has very effective antibacterial action against the studied bacteria which was Salmonella,nanoparticles concentrations lead to increasing in the inhibition zones of tested bacterial growth. We also study the effect of three antibiotics Lomefloxacin (LOM), Ciprofloxacin (SIP) and Rifampin (RA) and the result showed,in a comparison within the tested bacteria,Salmonella had a significant inhibition increase in Lomefloxacin ; the ciprofloxacin showed effect on tested bacteria. However,Rifampin does not show any effect on tested bacteria.

Sporotrichosis is a serious public health problem in Brazil that affects human patients and domestic animals, mainly cats. Thus, the search for new antifungal agents is required also due to the emergence and to the lack of effective drugs available in the therapeutic arsenal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antifungal profile of two synthetic series of coumarin derivatives against Sporothrix schenckii and Sporothrix brasiliensis. The three-components synthetic routes used for the preparation of coumarin derivatives have proved to be quite efficient and compounds 16 and 17 have been prepared in good yields. The inhibitory activity of nineteen synthetic coumarins derivatives 16a-i and 17a-j were evaluated against Sporothrix spp. yeasts and the most potent compounds were 16b and 17i. However, according to concentrations able to inhibit (minimum inhibitory concentrations) and kill (minimum fungicidal concentrations) the cells, 17i was more effective than 16b against Sporothrix spp. Thus, 17i exhibited good antifungal activity against S. brasiliensis and S. schenckii, suggesting that it is an important scaffold for the development of novel antifungal agents.
