In vitro propagation of Ginkgo biloba L. using various bud cultures
The purpose of this research is micropropagation of Ginkgo biloba L. Apical and nodal meristems removed from plantlets or apical buds from a tree were used as explants. Meristems produced an extensive callus and single or rare multiple shoots on Murashige and Skoog medium with different growth regulators and endosperm extract (En) obtained from mature seeds of the same species. For successful root production it was necessary to transfer the shoots to a rooting medium with En

Characterization and antioxidant activity of nocino liqueur
Nocino is an after-dinner liqueur made with green, unripe walnuts, appreciated both for its appealing flavour and aroma, and for its properties as a tonic and digestive aid. There is a large number of recipes for the production of nocino and the industrial production coexists with preparations at home. The liqueur has never been scientifically investigated; thus the aim of this work was to examine various kinds of it. Three sets of samples were considered: Commercial brands, home-made nocino and, among the latter, samples made for years with the same recipe and aged for different times, up to 25 years. In the commercial products, the phenolic profiles and the antioxidant activities were widely variable. The antioxidant activity proved to be directly correlated with the content of total phenols, total tannins and non-tannin phenolics. Study of samples aged for different lengths of time showed that the characteristics considered remained substantially unchanged during the aging process
Asymmetric superior oblique split Z-tendon lengthening for face turn in bilateral asymmetric superior oblique overaction and exotropia
Introduction: The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure of the superior oblique split Z-tendon lengthening to collapse A pattern and treat face turn in a cohort of patients with both incomitant intermittent exotropia and a vertical deviation associated with a bilateral asymmetric superior oblique overaction. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of patients with facial turn associated with intermittent exotropia and bilateral asymmetric superior oblique overaction, who underwent superior oblique muscle split tendon lengthening and concurrent horizontal surgery between 2009 and 2017. Results: A total of eight patients met the inclusion criteria. The preoperative average face turn was 26.8° (range, 20°–5°), and it significantly improved to 5.4° (range, 2°–8°) (p < 0.05). All the patients showed an improvement in the face turn with neutralization of the vertical deviation. The vertical deviation in the right gaze for the patient with a right turn and the left gaze in patients with left turn improved significantly (values of p < 0.05). Conclusion: The superior oblique split Z-tendon lengthening was an effective procedure to collapse the A pattern and the treatment of the face turn in a cohort of patients with both incomitant intermittent exotropia and a vertical deviation associated with a bilateral asymmetric superior oblique muscle overaction with less complications, and less varying results
Effects of heat stress on follicular physiology in dairy cows
Follicular organization starts during mid-to-late fetal life with the formation of primordial follicles. The bilateral interplay between the oocyte and adjoining somatic cells during follicular growth and ovulation may be sensitive to heat stress (HS). Mechanisms giving rise to pre-ovulatory temperature gradients across reproductive tissues are mostly regulated by the pre-ovulatory follicle, and because the cooling of the gonads and genital tract depends on a counter-current transfer system of heat, HS may be considered a major factor impairing ovulation, fertilization and early embryo development. There is evidence of a long-lasting influence of HS on oogenesis and final follicular maturation. Follicular stages that are susceptible to HS have not been precisely determined. Therefore, the aim of this review was to describe the influence of HS during the staged follicular development in dairy cattle, from the activation of primordial follicles to ovulation. Some clinical prospects are also considered
