Autotoxic effects of aqueous extracts of ginger on growth of ginger seedings and on antioxidant enzymes, membrane permeability and lipid peroxidation in leaves
No full textWe studied the effects of aqueous extracts of ginger plants on the growth membrane permeability and antioxidant enzymes in leaves of ginger seedlings. Ginger seedlings were sprayed with aqueous extracts of ginger rhizomes, stems and leaves at 10, 20, 40 or 80 g L-1 concentrations. Higher concentrations of extracts significantly inhibited the shoot height, underground (i.e. rhizome yield), total biomass of ginger seedlings and decreased the total chlorophyll content but increased the lipid peroxidation and membrane permeability. The increased concentrations of stem and leaf extracts deceased the activities of major antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase) in leaves of ginger seedlings. The rhizome extracts were less stimulatory at lower concentrations but became inhibitory at higher concentrations. The phytotoxicity of extract at same concentrations followed the order of decreasing inhibition: stem > leaf > rhizome. These results showed that ginger has autotoxic potential, hence, its residues (stems, leaves) should be removed from the fields to reduce the autotoxic effects on next ginger crop seedlings
Ode to Anna Atkins
No full text13 unnumbered cards : color illustrations ; 13 cm
Artist's statement: "Ode to Anna Atkins is my homage to women artists in general and Anna Atkins in particular. Anna Atkins was raised by her scientist father and was encouraged from an early age in making images with a scientific theme - first in drawings and engravings and later in photography. Her friendship with William Fox Talbot gave her access to the 'photogenic drawing technique' in which an object is placed on paper coated with light sensitive emulsion (now called cyanotype). Some say that Anna Atkins was the first female photographer."

Efficacy and safety of ginger-salt-indirect moxibustion for urge urinary incontinence after stroke: protocol for a pilot multicentre randomised controlled trial
No full textIntroduction: Ginger-salt-indirect moxibustion is widely applied to treat urge urinary incontinence after stroke, which is a common complication in stroke survivors. Moxa cone moxibustion and moxa box moxibustion are the main techniques of ginger-saltin-direct moxibustion. Our previous study had shown that ginger-salt-indirect moxibustion using moxa cones was feasible and effective for urination disorders post-stroke. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility of conducting research to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ginger-salt-indirect moxibustion for patients with post-stroke urge urinary incontinence. Methods and analysis: This is a multicentre, prospective, single-blinded, pilot randomised controlled trial. 120 eligible patients will be randomly allocated to three groups. Treatment group A (n=40) will receive moxa cone moxibustion and routine care; treatment group B (n=40) will receive moxa box moxibustion and routine care; control group (n=40) will only receive routine care for stroke recovery. The entire moxibustion treatment will consist of a total of 28 sessions during the course of 4 weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the increase in mean volume per void assessed at week 4 from the first moxibustion session (baseline). Secondary outcome measures will include mean frequency of urination per day and quality of life assessments measured by completion of the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire and Barthel Index. All outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and at 4 and 16 weeks from baseline. Adverse events in the three groups will be recorded to assess the safety of moxibustion. Ethics and dissemination: Research ethics was approved by the Research Ethical Committee of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to the Capital Medical University (ref: 2013BL-094). Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants. Study results will be published in peer reviewed journals.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000344774500076&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Medicine, General & InternalSCI(E)[email protected]
PENERAPAN KOMPRES JAHE HANGAT TERHADAP PENURUNAN NYERI PADA LANSIA PENDERITA GOUT ARTHRITIS
No full textBackground: Gouty arthritis often occurs in the elderly, it is characterized by hyperuricemia or a buildup of crystals in the joints so that uric acid levels in the body are high, causing pain. Complaints of gout pain can be treated with non-pharmacological therapy, one of which is a warm ginger compress. This final scientific work aims to determine the effect of warm ginger compresses on reducing pain in elderly people with gouty arthritis.
Method: The research method used in preparing this Final Scientific Work uses descriptive qualitative research, namely in the form of a case study. The author follows the scientific method according to the rules of the nursing process which includes: Assessment, Data Analysis, Nursing Intervention, Implementation and Evaluation. In the assessment process the author used various data collection techniques such as: Anamnesis, Observation, Documentation Study and Physical Examination to collect various data from the patient, namely Mrs. R.
Results: Based on the results of the assessment, a nursing diagnosis was obtained, namely acute pain. The nursing intervention given was a warm ginger compress on Mrs. R. Evaluation was carried out from the results of the initial assessment (pre: AU: 6.3 mg/dl; scale: 5) and on the last day of implementation (post AU: 4.4 mg/dl; scale: 2).
Conclusion: Gouty arthritis is a disease that is often found in the elderly because as a person ages, the body's immune system decreases, making them very susceptible to disease. Therefore, providing non-pharmacological therapy in the form of warm ginger compresses is expected to reduce pain complaints in gout arthritis sufferers. So this therapy can be used as one of the recommended therapies needed by gout arthritis sufferers
Does health insurance coverage lead to better health and educational outcomes? Evidence from rural China
No full textUsing the 2006 China Agricultural Census (CAC), we examine whether the introduction of the New Cooperative Medical System (NCMS) has affected child mortality, maternal mortality, and school enrollment of 6-16 year olds. Our data cover 5.9 million people living in eight low-income rural counties, of which four adopted the NCMS by 2006 and four did not adopt it until 2007. Raw data suggest that enrolling in the NCMS is associated with better school enrollment and lower mortality of young children and pregnant women. However, using a difference-in-difference propensity score method, we find that most of the differences are driven by endogenous introduction and take-up of the NCMS, and our method overcomes classical propensity score matching's failure to address selection bias. While the NCMS does not affect child morality and maternal mortality, it does help improve the school enrollment of six-year-olds. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

A Pythium myriotylum Small Cysteine-Rich Protein Triggers Immune Responses in Diverse Plant Hosts
No full textThe oomycete Pythium myriotylum is a necrotrophic pathogen that infects many crop species worldwide, including ginger, soybean, tomato, and tobacco. Here, we identified a P. myriotylum small cysteine-rich protein, PmSCR1, that induces cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana by screening small, secreted proteins that were induced during infection of ginger and did not have a predicted function at the time of selection. Orthologs of PmSCR1 were found in other Pythium species, but these did not have cell death–inducing activity in N. benthamiana. PmSCR1 encodes a protein containing an auxiliary activity 17 family domain and triggers multiple immune responses in host plants. The elicitor function of PmSCR1 appears to be independent of enzymatic activity, because the heat inactivation of PmSCR1 protein did not affect PmSCR1-induced cell death or other defense responses. The elicitor function of PmSCR1 was also independent of BAK1 and SOBIR1. Furthermore, a small region of the protein, PmSCR186-211, is sufficient for inducing cell death. A pretreatment using the full-length PmSCR1 protein promoted the resistance of soybean and N. benthamiana to Phytophthora sojae and Phytophthora capsici infection, respectively. These results reveal that PmSCR1 is a novel elicitor from P. myriotylum, which exhibits plant immunity-inducing activity in multiple host plants. [Graphic: see text] Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).

Gaming in Air Pollution Data? Lessons from China
No full textProtecting the environment during economic growth is a challenge facing every country. This paper focuses on two regulatory measures that China has adopted to incentivize air quality improvement: publishing a daily air pollution index (API) for major cities since 2000 and linking the API to performance evaluations of local governments. In particular, China defines a day with an API at or below 100 as a blue sky day. Starting in 2003, a city with at least 80% blue sky days in a calendar year (among other criteria) qualified for the "national environmental protection model city" award. This cutoff was increased to 85% in 2007. Using officially reported API data from 37 large cities during 2000-2009, we find a significant discontinuity at the threshold of 100 and this discontinuity is of a greater magnitude after 2003. Moreover, we find that the model cities were less likely to report API right above 100 when they were close to the targeted blue sky days in the fourth quarter of the year when or before they won the model city award. That being said, we also find significant correlation of API with two alternative measures of air pollution - namely visibility as reported by the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), corrected for meteorological conditions, from NASA satellites. The discontinuity around 100 suggests that count of blue sky days could have been subject to data manipulation; nevertheless, API does contain useful information about air pollution.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000322965900002&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701EconomicsSSCI1ARTICLE3null1
Evaluation of antifungal activity of essential oils against potentially mycotoxigenic Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus
No full textThe antifungal activity of essential oils of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Apiaceae), ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Zingiberaceae), mint (Mentha piperita L., Lamiaceae) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris L., Lamiaceae) was evaluated against mycotoxin producers Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. High Resolution Gas Chromatography was applied to analyze chemical constituents of essential oils. The effect of different concentrations of essential oils was determined by solid medium diffusion assay. Mycelial growth and sporulation were determined for each essential oil at the concentrations established by solid medium diffusion assay. At the fifth, seventh and ninth days the mycelial diameter (Ø mm) and spore production were also determined. FUN-1 staining was performed to assess cell viability after broth macrodilution assay. Trans-anethole, zingiberene, menthol and thymol are the major component of essential oils of fennel, ginger, mint and thyme, respectively. The effective concentrations for fennel, ginger, mint and thyme were 50, 80, 50 and 50% (oil/DMSO; v/v), respectively. The four essential oils analysed in this study showed antifungal effect. Additionally, FUN-1 staining showed to be a suitable method to evaluate cell viability of potential mycotoxigenic fungi A. flavus and A. parasiticus after treatment with essential oils.The authors are grateful to the colleagues from Laboratory of EPAMIG and Microbiology DEB/UFLA and the Micoteca da Universidade do Minho, Center for Biological Engineering, UMINHO for their support to perform this work. A special aknowledgment is also due to the FAPEMIG and MUM-UMINHO for the financial support of bench work and to CAPES for granting the first author with a PhD scholarship
Urbanization and environmental policy effects on the future availability of grazing resources on the Mongolian Plateau: Modeling socio-environmental system dynamics
No full textThe rangelands of the Mongolian Plateau are dynamic socio-environmental systems that are influenced by a complex network of drivers, including climate, social institutions, market forces, and national-scale policies affecting land access and management. The sustainability and resilience of rangelands in this region depend on the ability of residents and policy makers to quickly respond by adapting livelihoods and land uses to changes in environmental and socio-economic conditions, but the responses of the system to these changes are often non-linear and difficult to predict. We developed a system dynamics model to understand how the human, natural, and land-use processes in the Mongolian rangeland ecosystem interact to produce dynamic outcomes in both grassland productivity and livestock populations. We developed two separate models based on a common integrative framework for two case study areas: Suhkbaatar Aimag in Mongolia and Xilingol League in Inner Mongolia. We used future scenarios for each region generated with stakeholder input to forecast trends in grassland area, livestock numbers, and biomass under alternative climate, socioeconomic, and land-use futures. By incorporating stakeholder-developed scenarios, we were able to explore future scenarios tailored to the particular questions and concerns relevant to the individual study areas. We find that while there are many similarities in the factors driving system dynamics in the two countries, the trajectories of key grassland resources are quite different, both between the two study regions and across the individual scenarios. Environmental policies play a key role in Xilingol, while economic development is a key driver in Sukhbaatar. Urbanization dynamics will be a major influence on the availability of grassland resources in the future.
