Copper Excess Detoxification Is Mediated By A Coordinated And Complementary Induction Of Glutathione, Phytochelatins And Metallothioneins In The Green Seaweed Ulva Compressa, Mt Brown
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
In order to analyze the involvement of intracellular thiol-chelators in the accumulation and detoxification of copper, the marine alga Ulva compressa was cultivated with increasing concentrations of copper such as 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 µM for up to 12 d, and the amount of intracellular copper, glutathione (GSH), phytochelatins (PCs) and transcripts encoding three metallothioneins (MTs) were determined. Over this exposure period and concentration range there was a linear correlation between intracellular copper and the copper concentration in the culture medium. Increases in GSH concentrations occurred mainly between days 1 and 3 and at lower concentrations of copper (2.5 …

Systematic Review And Evidence Synthesis Of Non-Cervical Human Papillomavirus-Related Disease Health System Costs And Quality Of Life Estimates, Kj Ong, M Checchi, L Burns, C Pavitt, Mj Postma, M Jit
Peninsula Dental School
Background: Many economic evaluations of human papillomavirus vaccination should ideally consider multiple disease outcomes, including anogenital warts, respiratory papillomatosis and non-cervical cancers (eg, anal, oropharyngeal, penile, vulvar and vaginal cancers). However, published economic evaluations largely relied on estimates from single studies or informal rapid literature reviews. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of articles up to June 2016 to identify costs and utility estimates admissible for an economic evaluation from a single-payer healthcare provider's perspective. Meta-analyses were performed for studies that used same utility elicitation tools for similar diseases. Costs were adjusted to 2016/2017 US$. Results: Sixty-one papers (35 costs; …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: We estimated the accuracy of FibroScan vibration-controlled transient elastography controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness measurements (LSMs) in assessing steatosis and fibrosis in patients with suspected NAFLD. METHODS: We collected data from 450 consecutive adults who underwent liver biopsy analysis for suspected NAFLD at 7 centers in the United Kingdom from March 2014 through January 2017. FibroScan examinations with M or XL probe were completed within the 2 weeks of the biopsy analysis (404 had a valid examination). The biopsies were scored by 2 blinded expert pathologists according to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis clinical research network criteria. Diagnostic …
Butterflies Embrace Maladaptation And Raise Fitness In Colonizing Novel Host, C Parmesan, M Singer
Butterflies Embrace Maladaptation And Raise Fitness In Colonizing Novel Host, C Parmesan, M Singer
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
We illustrate an evolutionary host shift driven by increased fitness on a novel host, despite maladaptation to it in six separate host-adaptive traits. Here, local adaptation is defined as possession of traits that provide advantage in specific environmental contexts; thus individuals can have higher fitness in benign environments to which they are maladapted than in demanding environments to which they are well adapted. A population of the butterfly Euphydryas editha adapted to a long-lived, chemically well-defended host, Pedicularis, had traditionally been under natural selection to avoid the ephemeral, less-defended Collinsia. The lifespan of Collinsia was so short that it senesced …

Takeoff Temperatures In Melitaea Cinxia Butterflies From Latitudinal And Elevational Range Limits: A Potential Adaptation To Solar Irradiance, C Parmesan, M Singer, N Advani
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
1. This study provides evidence that a heliophilic butterfly, the Glanville fritillary (Melitaea cinxia) has adapted differently to environmental variation across latitudes and elevations. 2. In cool air, basking M. cinxia orient themselves perpendicular to the sun's rays to gain heat and take off. During flight, solar heating is reduced because orientation perpendicular to the sun is no longer possible and convective cooling occurs. Consequently, M. cinxia have been shown to suffer net heat loss in flight, even in full sunshine. When flight duration is restricted in this way, the takeoff temperature becomes an important thermal adaptation. 3. Using a …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
High-latitude ecosystems are among the fastest warming on the planet1. Polar species may be sensitive to warming and ice loss, but data are scarce and evidence is conflicting2,3,4. Here, we show that, within their main population centre in the southwest Atlantic sector, the distribution of Euphausia superba (hereafter, ‘krill’) has contracted southward over the past 90 years. Near their northern limit, numerical densities have declined sharply and the population has become more concentrated towards the Antarctic shelves. A concomitant increase in mean body length reflects reduced recruitment of juvenile krill. We found evidence for environmental controls on recruitment, including a …
Framing Resilience For River Geomorphology: Reinventing The Wheel?, Dave J. Gilvear
Framing Resilience For River Geomorphology: Reinventing The Wheel?, Dave J. Gilvear
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Resilience is a well-used term in many disciplines, but inconsistently or little applied in river geomorphology and river science. Recent developments in ecosystem ecology conceptualize resilience as comprising system resistance to, and recovery from disturbance. The objectives of this paper are to consider how the concept of resilience in this bivariate form applies to river geomorphology and provide a framework for bridging the disciplines of ecology and geomorphology within the setting of river management, using principles of resilience. River geomorphology sets the physical template upon which lotic processes act, thus, understanding the resilience of this template is critical. The importance …

Beach Recovery From Extreme Storm Activity During The 2013–14 Winter Along The Atlantic Coast Of Europe, Guillaume Dodet, Bruno Castelle, Gerd Masselink, Timothy Scott, Mark Davidson, France Floc'h, Derek Jackson, Serge Suanez
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The storm sequence of the 2013–14 winter left many beaches along the Atlantic coast of Europe in their most eroded state for decades. Understanding how beaches recover from such extreme events is essential for coastal managers, especially in light of potential regional increases in storminess due to climate change. Here we analyse a unique dataset of decadal beach morphological changes along the west coast of Europe to investigate the post-2013–14 winter recovery. We show that the recovery signature is site specific and multi-annual, with one studied beach fully recovered after 2 years, and the others only partially recovered after 4 …

Peninsula Medical School
IntroductionOxygen is the most commonly administered drug to mechanically ventilated critically ill adults, yet little is known about the optimum oxygen saturation (SpO2) target for these patients; the current standard of care is an SpO2of 96% or above. Small pilot studies have demonstrated that permissive hypoxaemia (aiming for a lower SpO2than normal by using a lower fractional inspired oxygen concentration (FIO2)) can be achieved in the critically ill and appears to be safe. This approach has not been evaluated in a National Health Service setting. It is possible that permissive hypoxaemia may be beneficial to critically ill patients thus it …
What Do Ip25 And Related Biomarkers Really Reveal About Sea Ice Change?, Simon T. Belt
What Do Ip25 And Related Biomarkers Really Reveal About Sea Ice Change?, Simon T. Belt
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Significant changes to Arctic and Antarctic sea ice in recent decades has prompted the development and application of novel approaches to the reconstruction of past sea ice conditions over much longer timeframes. One such approach is based on the variable distribution of certain source-specific highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) lipid biomarkers in well-dated marine sediment records. Thus, IP25 and IPSO25 have emerged as useful proxy measures of seasonal sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, respectively. An overview of the salient features of IP25, IPSO25 and related biomarkers is presented, together with aspects that are currently less …

PURPOSE: Low level laser therapy (LLLT) in the visible to near infrared spectral band (390-1100 nm) is absorption of laser light at the electronic level, without generation of heat. It may be applied in a wide range of treatments including wound healing, inflammation and pain reduction. Despite its potential beneficial impacts, the use of lasers for therapeutic purposes still remains controversial in mainstream medicine. Whilst taking into account the physical characteristics of different qualities of lasers, this review aims to provide a comprehensive account of the current literature available in the field pertaining to their potential impact at cellular and …

Divergence In Glucosinolate Profiles Between High- And Low-Elevation Populations Of Arabidopsis Halleri Correspond To Variation In Field Herbivory And Herbivore Behavioral Preferences, James Buckley, Foteini G. Pashalidou, Martin C. Fischer, Alex Widmer, Mark C. Mescher, Moraes Cm De
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Variation in local herbivore pressure along elevation gradients is predicted to drive variation in plant defense traits. Yet, the extent of intraspecific variation in defense investment along elevation gradients, and its effects on both herbivore preference and performance, remain relatively unexplored. Using populations of Arabidopsis halleri (Brassicaceae) occurring at different elevations in the Alps, we tested for associations between elevation, herbivore damage in the field, and constitutive chemical defense traits (glucosinolates) assayed under common-garden conditions. Additionally, we examined the feeding preferences and performance of a specialist herbivore, the butterfly Pieris brassicae, on plants from different elevations in the Alps. Although …
Toxicity Testing Of Cosmetic Ingredients Using Gametophyte Beads Of The Brown Alga Undaria Pinnatifida (Laminariales, Phaeophyta), Mt Brown
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
A 6-h toxicity test of cosmetic ingredients (methylparaben, 2-phenoxyethanol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, triethanolamine) was developed, based on the photosynthetic maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm) of immobilized gametophytes of the brown macroalga Undaria pinnatifida. From calculated EC50 values, the toxicity ranking of the tested ingredients is: SDS (0.0060%) > MP (0.0634%) > 2-PE (0.2418%) > TEA (3.7023%). Compared to the results from conventional endpoints with other ecotoxicity test organisms, measurements of Fv/Fm is a more sensitive indicator of the toxic effects of cosmetic ingredients. The present technique is simple, rapid, practical, accurate, and requires little space to carry out. This novel method will be a …
