Abstract:
Abstract Background In the majority of patients, the consequences of burns often require surgery due to complications like contracture. Various surgical techniques are employed for correction, including free skin grafting, local tissue plasty, and free flaps. This study focuses on Z-plasty as a surgical technique for correcting scar deformities after burns. Materials and Methods We treated 84 patients with burn consequences. Z-plasty was the main method for 67 patients, while 17 patients received Z-plasty combined with other techniques: 11 with split-thickness skin grafts, 4 with non-free skin plasty, 1 with a combination of Z-plasty, tissue expander, and local tissue plasty, and 1 with two different Z-plasty sites. Results Early complications occurred in 8 patients. One case resulted in inflammation and dehiscence of the plasty. In 6 cases, partial lysis of the vertices of the triangles was observed, which healed spontaneously. Conclusions Despite some early complications, Z-plasty proves to be a successful treatment method for scar deformities post-burn. The results are generally satisfactory, demonstrating the efficacy of this technique in most cases.

Abstract:
AbstractBackground:The bone-anchored hearing aid implantation technique is associated with post-operative skin reactions, which require conservative therapy and, in some cases, replacement of the abutment. Z-plasty is a technique that allows resection of the granulation tissue, thus ensuring that disease-free skin will be in contact with the abutment.Case report:Use of the Z-plasty technique for resection of the peri-abutment granulation tissue is described. In the case presented herein, the episodes of skin reaction became very frequent and the patient was unable to use his bone-anchored hearing aid for 2 to 3 days a week. We opted for surgical treatment with Z-plasty for management of the skin complications.Conclusion:Use of the Z-plasty technique is recommended for the management of skin reactions associated with bone-anchored hearing aid implantation.

Abstract:
Nine patients with recurrent metatarsophalangeal joint extension contracture after clawtoe or hammertoe procedures were treated with Z-plasty skin closures as part of the revision surgical procedure. The indication for performing the Z-plasty was the presence of scar contracture in the skin that prevented satisfactory correction of the toe. Soft tissue release of the metatarsophalangeal joint was followed by a simple dorsal skin Z-plasty transposition. Patients were evaluated 1 1/2 to 6 years after revision surgery. No recurrence of the extension contracture had occurred.

A discussion of the design and use of the Z-skin plasty to revise scars and lengthen skin contractures of the lower extremities is presented. One of the most commonly used rotational flaps to alter scar direction or relieve tension on the existing scar or skin, the Z-plasty can also be the most difficult to perform and carries a high risk of flap loss if inaccurately planned or poorly placed. Several variations of the standard procedure and examples of common usage are presented.

Abstract:
The techniques of nasal-tip correction include preservation of an intact caudal segment of cartilage as a complete strip and vertical interruption of the cartilaginous arch, with or without preservation of the underlying vestibular skin, as an interrupted strip. This technique can be performed with either the nondelivery (transcartilaginous, retrograde) or the delivery approach. The “Doberman's ear” technique has both the advantages of the complete strip technique with the delivery approach and the suture stabilization of the columellar pillar as in the Goldman tip, preserving the underlying vestibular skin as in the “butterfly” (Ponti) operation.

Abstract:
Introduction: Postburn contracture is a very common problem in case of undertreated and neglected cases of burns involving the flexor surface of joints of limbs. Satisfactory treatment of postburn contracture needs surgical excision of scar followed by Z-plasty. In case of a severe contracture of joints, Z-plasty is combined with skin grafting for the tension-free treatment of post-burn contracture. Methods: The study was conducted in Sadar Hospital, Sunamgonj and several private clinics in selected districts during the period from 2008 to 2020. Thirty (30) patients with contractures involving flexor surface of Elbow, Knee, and Metacarpophalangeal joints of hands of mild to severe degrees and various durations were treated with Z-plasty plus Split thickness Skin grafts. The operated limbs were immobilized with POP casts. Perioperative Parenteral Antibiotics were prescribed along with adequate Analgesics, Autiulcerants and vitamins, and proper nutrition. Both the operative sites (Recipient and donor areas) were examined by check dressing after the 7th to 14th postoperative days. Result: 5 and 12 patients had complications like infection, flap tip necrosis, and recurrent contractures respectively. But overall results were satisfactory in terms of joint extension, mobility, cosmetic appearance, and patient satisfaction. Very naturally in case of severe contractures, full correction was not possible by single-stage operation. Conclusion: Tension-free flap must be used in patients with mild to severe contractures. Combining skin Grafting with Z-plasty is easy and has better results than Z-plasty alone. It is recommended in patients of Z-plasty with intraoperative flap tension.

Abstract:
A Z-plasty is a critical and reliable technique that is useful for scar revisions and correction of free margin distortion. A Z-plasty can help lengthen a contracted scar, change the direction of a scar so that it is better aligned with the relaxed skin tension lines, or interrupt and break a scar for better camouflage. This article will review the technique of a basic Z-plasty as well as provide case examples of its use in free margin distortion and scar revision.

Abstract:
Rhus coriaria L. (R. coriaria), Arctium lappa L. (A. lappa) and Echium amoenum Fisch. (E. amoenum) are medicinal herbs with extensive traditional uses, covering anti-inflammatory skin therapy. The present research aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of different extracts of R. coriaria fruit, A. lappa roots and the E. amoenum flowers in human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells), evaluating extracts prepared using different techniques. Firstly, the herbal extracts were prepared using different methods including cold extraction, maceration, and decoction. The extraction solvents used were water, ethanol, ethanol-water (50:50), acetone, ethyl acetate, and dichloromethane. In the first phase of this study the extracts of E. amoenum, A. lappa and the polar (water (WRC), ethanol-water (EWRC), ethanol (ERC) and macerated ethanol (mERC)) extracts of R. coriaria were tested. The cytotoxicity and IL-8 release using, respectively, MTT and ELISA assays, were performed after 6 hours of TNF-α (10 ng/mL) treatment. Based on these results, the mERC and the EWRC were selected as the active extracts and assessed for NF-κB driven transcription, following identical treatment conditions. A non-toxic extract of A. lappa (EWAL) was also tested for its effect on NF-κB signaling. According to the preliminary data obtained, R. coriaria showed the most consistent and promising effects in inhibition of lL-8 and NF-κB signaling.Therefore, starting from this phase of the research the main focus of the study was on this herb and selectively mERC and the EWRC as the active extracts. The challenged cells by TNF-α, under treatment conditions with mERC and EWRC, were analysed for ICAM-1, VEGF, and MMP-9 releases, as well as NF-κB translocation, by ELISA assays. In addition, both active extracts were investigated for the inflammation induced by UVB (40 mJ/cm2) and were chemically profiled through HPLC-UV-DAD analysis. In the second phase of this research, the lipophilic extracts of R. coriaria (ARC, EARC and DCMRC) were evaluated using the cytotoxicity and IL-8 release assays in TNF-α or PMA-treated cells. Based on these results, active extracts were measured for their effects on NF-κB driven transcription. Among the evaluated herbs, only R. coriaria extracts achieved anti-IL-8 activity. Although all the polar extracts of this plant inhibited the TNF-α-induced IL-8 release, just mERC and EWRC suppressed NF-κB activation, ICAM-1, and MMP-9 secretion. EWRC showed higher inhibition on ICAM-1 and MMP-9 with IC50s of 1.76 ± 0.24 and 1.24 ± 0.33 µg/mL, respectively (mean ± s.d.). On the contrary, mERC significantly decreased VEGF levels whereas EWRC did not show any effect. The HPLC-UV profile of the extracts revealed higher amount of anthocyanins in EWRC in comparison with mERC. mERC, which showed lower amount of anthocyanins than EWRC, blocked both UVB-induced IL-8 release (with IC50 of 7.61 μg/mL) and translocation of NF-κB (at 10 μg/mL), measured by ELISA assay. The R. coriaria acetone (ARC) and ethyl acetate (EARC) extracts significantly inhibited the IL-8 release (at 25 μg/mL), as well as NF-κB driven transcription (at 50 μg/mL), when induced by TNF-α. The dichloromethane extract of this herb failed to show IL-8- inhibitory activity against TNF-α. ARC (with IC50s of 25.77 μg/mL ) and mERC (at 50 μg/mL) showed a significant effect in inhibiting the PMA induced IL-8 release. ARC modulated PMA-induced NF-κB signaling with IC50 of 27.82 μg/mL. Our results suggest the potential positive effect of R. coriaria fruit extracts, mostly mERC, as preventive agent in the treatment of keratinocyte inflammation through their inhibitory effect on the production of skin pro-inflammatory mediators. Our findings on the promising inhibitory effects of R. coriria on NF-κB signaling seem to confirm the traditional use of this herb as a remedy to treat skin inflammatory conditions. Its use as skin anti-inflammatory agent deserves further investigation.

Abstract:
De nombreuses pathologies sont à l’origine de perte de substance des parties molles à la fois cutanée représentant un enjeu de santé publique.Egalement de nombreux mécanismes lésionnels sont à l’origine du stress oxydatif pouvant altérer ces parties molles. L’avenir de la chirurgie reconstructrice sera de promouvoir des thérapies cellulaires autologues permettant la régénération tissulaire cutanée, musculaire et nerveuse tout en luttant contre le stress oxydatif.Les cellules souches mésenchymateuses d’origine adipeuse (ASC) représentent une source de cellules multipotentes plus faciles à isoler que celles de la moelle osseuse. En effet, les cellules souches localisées dans le tissu en cours de cicatrisation ont un rôle immunomodulateur, et améliore la trophicité par un effet pro-angiogénique, chimio-attractant, anti-fibrotique et anti-inflammatoire.Nos travaux précédents tendaient à montrer que l’association du plasma riche en plaquettes aux ASC en injection sous cutanée semblait améliorer la cicatrisation cutanée dans le modèle murin par un effet potentialisateur du PRP sur les ASC en stimulant leurs sécrétions de facteurs pro-angiogéniques (VEGF) et pro-inflammatoires (IL6) tout en augmentant leur survie.Notre hypothèse est que le plasma riche en plaquettes potentialise les CSM en milieu lésé ou en cas de stress en améliorant leur survie, le pourvoir angiogénique et chémoattractant.Nous objectif est d’évaluer l’association des ASC et du plasma riche en plaquette dans la régénération cutanée.Dans un premier temps, nous étudierons cette interaction en in vitro. Puis, nous développerons des modèles murins de perte de subtance cutanée pour étudier cette nouvelle association en injection locale pour la régénération tissulaire<br>Many diseases are the cause of soft tissue loss involving the skin.Also many injuries are the cause of oxidative stress that can lead to lesions of soft tissues. The future of the reconstructive surgery will promote autologous cell therapy for skin, muscular and nervous regeneration.The adipose derived stem cells (ASC) are a source of multipotent cells, which are easier to isolate than the bone marrow. Indeed, ASCs have an immunomodulatory role, and improve the trophism by a pro-angiogenic, chemoattractant, anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory effect.Our previous studies tended to show that the sub cutaneous injection of a combination of platelet-rich plasma with the ASCs seemed to improve wound healing in a mouse model, thank to a potentiating effect of PRP on ASC which stimulates the secretion of pro-angiogenic factors (VEGF ) and pro-inflammatory (IL-6) while increasing the survival of ASCs.Our hypothesis is that PRP potentialize the CSM in stressed condition or in skin wound and allows the improvement of the CSM survival, the angiogenic and chemoattraction power.Our aim is to assess the association of ASCs with PRP for skin regeneration.First, we will study this in vitro interaction. Then we will develop an animal model of oxidative stress skin to study this new local injection of association of ASCs with PRP for tissue regeneration

Abstract:
<p>Full thickness wounds, such as deep burns, need restoration of both the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. In normal wound healing, re-epithelialization occurs by migration and proliferation of keratinocytes from the wound edges and by differentiation of stem cells from remaining hair follicles. Restoration of dermis occurs by influx of growth factors secreted by macrophages, platelets, and fibroblasts; by fibroblast proliferation and subsequent synthesis and remodeling of collagenous dermal matrix. In the case of full-thickness acute burn injuries and chronic wounds (e.g. pressure ulcers, venous ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers), these processes are defective. With the principles of tissue engineering in mind (to correct, improve and maintain tissues and their functions), researchers have developed promising materials and methods to make it possible to restore either the dermal (Integra<sup>®</sup> DRT, Alloderm<sup>®</sup>) or the epidermal layer (split thickness skin grafts (STSG), cultured epithelial autografts (CEA), autologous keratinocytes in single cell suspension). It is now well established that superior results are obtained if both dermal and epidermal components are combined, for example in a bilayered skin equivalent.<strong> </strong>Apligraf<sup>® </sup>is recommended for use on venous ulcers and is the only bilayered living skin equivalent currently approved by the FDA. Studies on different factors affecting the wound healing capacity as well as techniques in use provide valuable information for further development.</p><p>In this licentiate thesis, we evaluated different transplantation techniques for delivering cultured human keratinocytes in single cell suspension, a measure becoming more frequently used in addition to STSG and CEA for restoring the epidermal layer of the skin. We found that the pressure device, commonly used to spray cell suspension onto the wound with pressures as high as 200 kPa, killed around 0% of the cells. In comparison, an ordinary syringe with the attachment of a spray nozzle showed almost 90% viable cells post transplantation and provided an equally good distribution of the cell suspension.</p><p>We also studied different silver containing dressings regarding silver accumulation in human skin. In addition, we graded the re-epithelialization to evaluate whether the dressings caused any delay in the wound healing process. We found that the silver dressings tested, with few exceptions, caused dermal accumulation of silver, primarily aggregated around blood vessels. We could also show that most of the dressings had negative effect on the re-epithelialization.</p><p>For the restoration of the dermal layer of the skin, Integra<sup>®</sup> DRT functions as a scaffold for guided tissue regeneration of the dermis. We had the possibility to study a case of necrotizing fasciitis were the treatment consisted of the use of Integra<sup>®</sup> DTR together with sub-atmospheric pressure (after initial surgical debridement) and later transplantation of split thickness skin grafts. This measure proved to be safe as well as giving satisfactory pliable and aesthetically acceptable result.</p>

Abstract:
AbstractWhile scarring in general can prove difficult to treat satisfactorily for physicians, specific locations of scarring can make this task even more difficult. Scarring on the scalp can result in alopecia which, especially in women and children, can be extremely stigmatizing. On the face and chest, scars lead to severe aesthetic impairments and commonly result in significantly reduced quality of life. If the hands, feet, or large joints are affected by severe scarring, functional problems can arise that, if most severe, put their self-reliance throughout their daily lives at risk. Therefore, finding solutions for such scarring is imperative.Finding the right technique to address a specific scar requires analysis of the problem. If scars are contracted, scar releases through local flaps (Z-plasty, W-plasty, and others) are common procedures. In widespread instable scars, large areas of tissue can be replaced by dermal substitutes and split-thickness skin grafting and full-thickness skin grafting or through the use of free tissue flaps. Additionally, fractional lasers provide the opportunity to soften scarred skin and to ameliorate the often irregular surface texture of such scars. For the treatment of problematic areas, combining different treatment options with regard to the individual requirements of the scar will commonly yield satisfactory results. Care should be taken to incorporate physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and conservative scar treatment paradigms to prevent future scarring in treated areas and to improve and conserve the reconstituted function in scarred areas.

Abstract:
AbstractLocal flaps are useful for reconstructing scar contractures on mobile areas such as joints, the neck, the axilla, the digital web, and the mouth commissure. They are superior to skin grafts because the latter can contract, thereby leading to secondary contractures. Moreover, the color and texture match of local flaps is better than that of grafted skin. Consequently, local flaps generally provide superior aesthetic outcomes. Thus, if there is healthy skin adjacent to the scar contracture, local flaps should be the first choice. In terms of local flap selection, it is necessary to choose between a skin-pedicled flap and an island flap. We showed recently that 6 months after surgery, skin-pedicled flaps associate with greater scar extension rates than island flaps. Thus, local flaps, especially skin-pedicled flaps, elongate the scar as effectively as z-plasty. It should be noted that if the scar is large, it is effective only by dividing the scar with the local flap. However, the flap size can be slightly smaller than the deformity size (although how much smaller depends somewhat on how extensible the flap type is): it is not necessary that the flap is as big as the open wound after scar division or scar removal.

Abstract:
The finite element model is developed for simulating the bird strike test of rotorcraft End plate using the bird numerical modeling techniques. The main design goal is the satisfactory impact resistance of the composite structures in the case of bird strike. The design concept is based on the absorption of the major portion of the bird kinetic energy by the composite skins, in order to protect the inner honeycomb core from damage, thus preserving the End plate functionality for safe landing. To this purpose, the End plate skin is fabricated from composite layers, which unfold under the impact load and increase the energy absorption capability. The numerical modelling of bird strike using the Lagrangian approach and Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics formulation and the critical design parameters are considered in carrying out the analysis. A numerical model of this problem has been developed with an explicit finite element code Autodyn. Analysis is carried out for the developed model using the test parameters. Numerical results by means of bird modelling approaches are substantiated with experimental test results. The results obtained from the analysis and test shows close conformity implying their appropriateness in the simulation of bird strike.

Abstract:
Overview Skin cancer prevention is a component of the new Cancer Plan 2022–27, which guides the work of the Cancer Institute NSW. To lessen the impact of skin cancer on the community, the Cancer Institute NSW works closely with the NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Advisory Committee, comprising governmental and non-governmental organisation representatives, to develop and implement the NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Strategy. Primary Health Networks and primary care providers are seen as important stakeholders in this work. To guide improvements in skin cancer prevention and inform the development of the next NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Strategy, an up-to-date review of the evidence on the effectiveness and feasibility of skin cancer prevention activities in primary care is required. A research team led by the Daffodil Centre, a joint venture between the University of Sydney and Cancer Council NSW, was contracted to undertake an Evidence Check review to address the questions below. Evidence Check questions This Evidence Check aimed to address the following questions: Question 1: What skin cancer primary prevention activities can be effectively administered in primary care settings? As part of this, identify the key components of such messages, strategies, programs or initiatives that have been effectively implemented and their feasibility in the NSW/Australian context. Question 2: What are the main barriers and enablers for primary care providers in delivering skin cancer primary prevention activities within their setting? Summary of methods The research team conducted a detailed analysis of the published and grey literature, based on a comprehensive search. We developed the search strategy in consultation with a medical librarian at the University of Sydney and the Cancer Institute NSW team, and implemented it across the databases Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Scopus, Cochrane Central and CINAHL. Results were exported and uploaded to Covidence for screening and further selection. The search strategy was designed according to the SPIDER tool for Qualitative and Mixed-Methods Evidence Synthesis, which is a systematic strategy for searching qualitative and mixed-methods research studies. The SPIDER tool facilitates rigour in research by defining key elements of non-quantitative research questions. We included peer-reviewed and grey literature that included skin cancer primary prevention strategies/ interventions/ techniques/ programs within primary care settings, e.g. involving general practitioners and primary care nurses. The literature was limited to publications since 2014, and for studies or programs conducted in Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Western Europe and Scandinavia. We also included relevant systematic reviews and evidence syntheses based on a range of international evidence where also relevant to the Australian context. To address Question 1, about the effectiveness of skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings, we summarised findings from the Evidence Check according to different skin cancer prevention activities. To address Question 2, about the barriers and enablers of skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings, we summarised findings according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The CFIR is a framework for identifying important implementation considerations for novel interventions in healthcare settings and provides a practical guide for systematically assessing potential barriers and facilitators in preparation for implementing a new activity or program. We assessed study quality using the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) levels of evidence. Key findings We identified 25 peer-reviewed journal articles that met the eligibility criteria and we included these in the Evidence Check. Eight of the studies were conducted in Australia, six in the UK, and the others elsewhere (mainly other European countries). In addition, the grey literature search identified four relevant guidelines, 12 education/training resources, two Cancer Care pathways, two position statements, three reports and five other resources that we included in the Evidence Check. Question 1 (related to effectiveness) We categorised the studies into different types of skin cancer prevention activities: behavioural counselling (n=3); risk assessment and delivering risk-tailored information (n=10); new technologies for early detection and accompanying prevention advice (n=4); and education and training programs for general practitioners (GPs) and primary care nurses regarding skin cancer prevention (n=3). There was good evidence that behavioural counselling interventions can result in a small improvement in sun protection behaviours among adults with fair skin types (defined as ivory or pale skin, light hair and eye colour, freckles, or those who sunburn easily), which would include the majority of Australians. It was found that clinicians play an important role in counselling patients about sun-protective behaviours, and recommended tailoring messages to the age and demographics of target groups (e.g. high-risk groups) to have maximal influence on behaviours. Several web-based melanoma risk prediction tools are now available in Australia, mainly designed for health professionals to identify patients’ risk of a new or subsequent primary melanoma and guide discussions with patients about primary prevention and early detection. Intervention studies have demonstrated that use of these melanoma risk prediction tools is feasible and acceptable to participants in primary care settings, and there is some evidence, including from Australian studies, that using these risk prediction tools to tailor primary prevention and early detection messages can improve sun-related behaviours. Some studies examined novel technologies, such as apps, to support early detection through skin examinations, including a very limited focus on the provision of preventive advice. These novel technologies are still largely in the research domain rather than recommended for routine use but provide a potential future opportunity to incorporate more primary prevention tailored advice. There are a number of online short courses available for primary healthcare professionals specifically focusing on skin cancer prevention. Most education and training programs for GPs and primary care nurses in the field of skin cancer focus on treatment and early detection, though some programs have specifically incorporated primary prevention education and training. A notable example is the Dermoscopy for Victorian General Practice Program, in which 93% of participating GPs reported that they had increased preventive information provided to high-risk patients and during skin examinations. Question 2 (related to barriers and enablers) Key enablers of performing skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings included: • Easy access and availability of guidelines and point-of-care tools and resources • A fit with existing workflows and systems, so there is minimal disruption to flow of care • Easy-to-understand patient information • Using the waiting room for collection of risk assessment information on an electronic device such as an iPad/tablet where possible • Pairing with early detection activities • Sharing of successful programs across jurisdictions. Key barriers to performing skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings included: • Unclear requirements and lack of confidence (self-efficacy) about prevention counselling • Limited availability of GP services especially in regional and remote areas • Competing demands, low priority, lack of time • Lack of incentives.

Full text
Abstract:
Environmental temperature is a key factor driving various biological processes, including immune defenses and host-pathogen interactions. Here, we evaluated the effects of environmental temperature on the pathogenicity of the emerging fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal), using controlled laboratory experiments, and measured components of host immune defense to identify regulating mechanisms. We found that adult and juvenile Notophthalmus viridescens died faster due to Bsal chytridiomycosis at 14 ºC than at 6 and 22 ºC. Pathogen replication rates, total available proteins on the skin, and microbiome composition likely drove these relationships. Temperature-dependent skin microbiome composition in our laboratory experiments matched seasonal trends in wild N. viridescens, adding validity to these results. We also found that hydrophobic peptide production after two months post-exposure to Bsal was reduced in infected animals compared to controls, perhaps due to peptide release earlier in infection or impaired granular gland function in diseased animals. Using our temperature-dependent infection results, we performed a geographic analysis that suggested that N. viridescens populations in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada are at greatest risk for Bsal invasion. Our results indicate that environmental temperature will play a key role in the epidemiology of Bsal and provide evidence that temperature manipulations may be a viable Bsal management strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores the evolution of Brazilian wage gaps by gender and skin color over a decade (1996-2006), using the matching comparison methodology developed by Ñopo (2008). In Brazil, racial wage gaps are more pronounced than those found along the gender divide, although both noticeably decreased over the course of the last decade. The decomposition results show that differences in observable characteristics play a crucial role in explaining wage gaps. While in the case of racial wage gaps, observable human capital characteristics account for most of the observed wage gaps, the observed gender wage gaps have the opposite sign than what the differences in human capital characteristics would predict. In both cases the role of education is prominent.

Full text
Abstract:
The goals of the present research proposal were to elucidate the physiological and molecular basis of the regulation of stilbene metabolism in grape, against the background of (i) grape metabolic network behavior in response to drought and of (ii) varietal diversity. The specific objectives included the study of the physiology of the response of different grape cultivars to continuous WD; the characterization of the differences and commonalities of gene network topology associated with WD in berry skin across varieties; the study of the metabolic response of developing berries to continuous WD with specific attention to the stilbene compounds; the integration analysis of the omics data generated; the study of isolated drought-associated stress factors on the regulation of stilbene biosynthesis in plantaand in vitro. Background to the topic Grape quality has a complex relationship with water input. Regulated water deficit (WD) is known to improve wine grapes by reducing the vine growth (without affecting fruit yield) and boosting sugar content (Keller et al. 2008). On the other hand, irregular rainfall during the summer can lead to drought-associated damage of fruit developmental process and alter fruit metabolism (Downey et al., 2006; Tarara et al., 2008; Chalmers et al., 792). In areas undergoing desertification, WD is associated with high temperatures. This WD/high temperature synergism can limit the areas of grape cultivation and can damage yields and fruit quality. Grapes and wine are the major source of stilbenes in human nutrition, and multiple stilbene-derived compounds, including isomers, polymers and glycosylated forms, have also been characterized in grapes (Jeandet et al., 2002; Halls and Yu, 2008). Heterologous expression of stilbenesynthase (STS) in a variety of plants has led to an enhanced resistance to pathogens, but in others the association has not been proven (Kobayashi et al., 2000; Soleas et al., 1995). Tomato transgenic plants harboring a grape STS had increased levels of resveratrol, ascorbate, and glutathione at the expense of the anthocyanin pathways (Giovinazzo et al. 2005), further emphasizing the intermingled relation among secondary metabolic pathways. Stilbenes are are induced in green and fleshy parts of the berries by biotic and abiotic elicitors (Chong et al., 2009). As is the case for other classes of secondary metabolites, the biosynthesis of stilbenes is not very well understood, but it is known to be under tight spatial and temporal control, which limits the availability of these compounds from plant sources. Only very few studies have attempted to analyze the effects of different environmental components on stilbene accumulation (Jeandet et al., 1995; Martinez-Ortega et al., 2000). Targeted analyses have generally shown higher levels of resveratrol in the grape skin (induced), in seeded varieties, in varieties of wine grapes, and in dark-skinned varieties (Gatto et al., 2008; summarized by Bavaresco et al., 2009). Yet, the effect of the grape variety and the rootstock on stilbene metabolism has not yet been thoroughly investigated (Bavaresco et al., 2009). The study identified a link between vine hydraulic behavior and physiology of stress with the leaf metabolism, which the PIs believe can eventually lead to the modifications identified in the developing berries that interested the polyphenol metabolism and its regulation during development and under stress. Implications are discussed below.

Full text
Abstract:
Grape Seed Extract (GSE) has received acceptance almost globally as an ingredient for human consumption. It is one of the more widely used botanical extracts, due to increasing scientific findings supporting health benefits. However, it remains a specialty item relative to global commodities. In the United States, GSE has ranked among the top 20 best-selling dietary supplements in the Food, Drug and Mass Market channel. The motivation behind purposeful adulteration in commercial products is financial gain (also known as economically motivated adulteration) and to increase the concentration in proanthocyanidins (PACs) as primary marker compounds as a means to contribute to the misperception of quality. Adulterants include other PAC-rich materials, which are available at lower cost. Thus, a bulk distributor of GSE or another manufacturer along the value chain can take advantage of the chemical similarity between GSE and peanut skin extract since the spectrophotometric assays typically used in industry are not specific enough to discriminate between grape seed PACs and PACs from other plant extracts. Due to reliance on non-specific proximate assays across the value-chain, adulteration can go undetected downstream in the commodity chain, such as those involved in distribution, packaging, wholesale, and retail sales. This laboratory guidance document presents a review of the various analytical technologies and methods used to differentiate between grape seed extracts and potential adulterants.

Full text
Abstract:
We developed methods for examining the pathophysical response of striped bass and hybrid bass to various forms of stress. This involved development of techniques for the measurement of lysozyme, mitogen blastogenesis, mixed lymphocyte reaction, and oxidative burst, which are important general indicators of systemic immune function. We also examined local immune defenses (epithelial integrity), as well as homeostatic indicators in blood, including osmotic balance and glucose. Acute stress resulted in significant perturbations in a number of parameters, including glucose, electrolytes, osmolarity, lysozyme, and mixed lymphocyte reaction. Most significantly, acute confinement stress resulted in severe damage to the epidermal epithelium, as indicated by the rapid (within 2 hr) development of erosions and ulcerations on various fins. There were significant differences in the resting levels of some immune functions between striped bass and hybrid bass, including response to mitogens in the leukocyte blastogenesis test. Our studies also revealed that there were significant differences in how striped bass and hybrid bass respond to stress, with striped bass being much more severely affected by stress than the hybrid. This was reflected in more severe changes in glucose, cortisol dynamics, and plasma lysozyme. Most significantly, striped bass developed more severe idiopathic skin ulceration after stress, which may be a major reason why this fish is so prone to develop opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections after stress. Hybrid bass injected with equine serum albumin developed a typical humoral immune response, with peak antibody production 28 days after primary immunization. Fish that were exposed to a chronic stress after a primary immunization showed almost complete inhibition of antibody production.
