In this paper, I study the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on a group of host country economic growth for the period 1994-2011. Using aggregate level FDI data for a group of five emerging countries, the paper reveals that FDI has a positive effect on economic growth. Then I use sectoral data and test whether all the sectors have positive effects on growth. The results vary across the sectors. The results seem to be positive for mining and quarrying as well as manufacturing sector, while trade and financial intermediation sectors to have a negative effect on economic growth.

The effect of zinc deficiency on the growth promoting effect of circulating IGF-I and the direct growth effect of GH on long bone growth were investigated. Food intake was decreased by lack of zinc in the diet. Tissue zinc content and plasma alkaline phosphatase activity were reduced by zinc deficiency. Systemic administration of human IGF-I increased the body weight, tail length and tibia epiphyseal cartilage width of control animals. This somatogenic action was impaired by zinc deficiency, as evidenced by continued weight loss, no increase in tail length and decreased tibial epiphyseal cartilage width of zinc deficient animals. Unilateral arterial infusion of GH increased the tibial epiphyseal width of the treated limb but not of the non-treated limb in control rats. However, no difference was found between the infused and the non-infused limb of zinc deficient animals, suggesting the occurrence of GH resistance on long bone growth in zinc deficiency. We conclude that zinc deficiency inhibits the growth promoting action of circulating IGF-I and the direct growth effect of GH on long bone growth.

The ability of human growth hormone (hGH) to alleviate the effects of zinc deficiency on growth was investigated in the rat. Human GH treatment had no significant effect on food consumption, growth parameters or plasma IGF-I. Food consumption, tail length, liver weight, and tibia weight were significantly lower in the zinc deficient group. Body weight was significantly reduced in the zinc deficient and pair fed groups compared to the control. A significant interaction between zinc and hGH was found for tibial epiphyseal cartilage width but there were no significant differences between the groups receiving hGH and the respective shams. Tissue zinc content and plasma alkaline phosphatase were significantly decreased by the dietary zinc deficiency. Plasma zinc was higher in the groups receiving hGH. Significant interactions between zinc and hGH was found for liver iron, tibial zinc, and tibial copper. Copper and iron showed a competitive interaction with zinc and were lower in the rats receiving the control diet. Both lowered zinc and food intake contributed to the effects of the zinc deficiency; however, these effects were not equally distributed. Food intake had the greater effect on growth and plasma IGF-I while tissue mineral content showed a greater effect for zinc intake.

Physiologic responses to Gibberellic Acid (GA), I-Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA), Benzylaminopurine (BAP), and Abscisic Acid (ABA). suggest that Oosterium monilfferum has the ability to utilize these plant growth factors. The growth promoters NAA and GA both increased growth when added to the media. The cell division regulator BAP (a synthetic cytokinin). also had a promotive effect on growth. Abscisic acid was found to be inhibitive to growth.

This thesis consists of four major types of studies each utilising different models of growth and chondrocyte biology, which in combination strengthens the understandings of the effects of GC and growth factors on the growing skeleton. The initial in vivo study showed that in children treated with Dexamethasone (Dex) or Prednisolone (Pred) for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, the effects of Dex on body composition were more apparent in that it was up to 18 times more potent at reducing short term linear growth than Pred. The ATDC5 chondrocyte cell line was fully characterised, which allowed a unique opportunity to study GC effects on a homogeneous population of chondrocytes at the chondrogenesis and terminal differentiation phases. The GCs caused a reduction in cell number, cell proliferation and proteoglycan content whilst stimulating chondrocyte differentiation. These effects were dose dependent and only observed during the chondrogenesis phase when the cells are rapidly dividing. Furthermore these negative effects could be partially reversed with the use of a GC receptor antagonist and completely reversed with IGF-I. These observations were further translated into increasingly physiological models of bone growth. Foetal metatarsal organ explants, where the three dimensional structure and cell connections of the growing bone remain intact, again demonstrated that Dex and IGF-I had opposite effects on bone growth. In contrast to Dex the effects of IGF-I were immediate. IGF-I increased the size of the hypertrophic zone, and this accounted for most of the increase in metatarsal length. Prenatal administration of Dex caused a reduction in birth weight and length and this difference was greater in the female mice. The growth restriction was associated with an elevated IGF-I and IGFBP-2 levels raising the possibility of a state of IGF-I insensitivity, which may explain subsequent growth failure.

Young female rats treated with trenbolone demonstrated an increase in weight gain per day and overall weight increase during the treatment period. Trenbolone treated rats also experienced improved feed efficiency. Muscles removed from the lower hind limb of trenbolone treated rats had a greater DNA to protein ratio than muscles from control animals. However, there was no significant difference in wet muscle weight between trenbolone treated and control muscles. Satellite cells from untreated female rats were not responsive to trenbolone added in vitro. In studies utilizing serum free medium, trenbolone alone, and in the presence of growth factors, could not stimulate proliferation above controls. In similar serum free medium studies, satellite cells from trenbolone treated rats were more responsive to growth factors than cells from control rats.

During the year of 2008, the world has experienced historically high oil prices reaching an all time high of 147 USD per barrel in midsummer. The extreme volatility of what is consider the number one source of energy reopened discussions about energy sustainability and the plausible effects of an oil shock in the global economy.

How reliable oil price is as an economic variable predicting fluctuations in GDP growth remains controversial. Several models have been developed by scholars targeting different relations between oil price and GDP growth, from its effects on stock markets to its effect to unemployment. The authors extended the model of Mork & Olson (1994) since it focuses on the consequences that an oil shock effect on GDP growth. The model is extended from 1993 to the third quarter of the year 2008 in order to draw conclusions and test crude oil prices fluctuations affect GDP growth in the modern economy.

The U.S.A and Sweden were chosen to compare their GDP sensitiveness to oil price volatility. The reason is that the U.S.A remains as the largest economy and consumes 25% of the oil produced in the world and is the most oil dependent among developed countries according to the EIA. Sweden on the contrary energy efficient and consumes relatively less oil per capita than many developed countries, it is also believed to be one of the most progressive countries in developing and using renewable energy resources and therefore less sensitive. The bivariate results does not show a pattern of negative correlations for Sweden between GDP growth and real oil price increases, however the U.S.A showed to be more sensitive to oil price increases.

International tourism plays a huge role for many countries in the world. The significance of tourism differs between countries, however increase in tourism tends to lead to gross domestic product growth. The purpose of this paper is to measure those general effects of tourism on gross domestic product per capita. The theory part is focused on determinants of economic growth and GDP and the literature review examines general effects of tourism as well as the effect of tourism on specific countries and regions. The data is cross sectional and was gathered from 111 countries provided by World Bank. The results of this thesis show that international tourism seems to have positive relation with the level of gross domestic product per capita. However, the study also found that tourism specialisation tends to have negative relation on level of gross domestic product per capita and that countries that are most specialised in tourism are quite small states, usually located in the Caribbean Sea.

Background: Efforts are needed to identify individuals at risk of becoming obese to facilitate the development and implementation of targeted prevention strategies. The objective of this dissertation was to identify the developmental trajectories of body mass index (BMI) among children as they age into adulthood and examine how the neighbourhood environment influences childhood obesity rates and BMI development. Methods: Data from Canada’s National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth was used for this dissertation. Group based trajectory modeling was used to examine eight waves (14 years) of data to identify distinct trajectories of BMI. Neighbourhood types were defined by grouping neighbourhoods with similar attributes using latent class analysis. A mediation analysis was then conducted to assess the mediating role of physical activity and sedentary behaviour on the cross-sectional relationship between neighbourhood type and obesity. The relationship between neighbourhood type and obesity was examined longitudinally using both variable- and person-centred approaches. Results: This study identified four distinct BMI trajectories among children: low, decreasing, medium, and high. Born large for gestational age, living in a rural area, and maternal smoking were associated with the high trajectory. Children were found to live within one of five neighbourhood types. Compared with children living in an affluent urban type neighbourhood, higher rates of obesity were observed in the remaining four neighbourhood types. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour were found to partially mediate the relationship between neighbourhood type and obesity; however, not among children living in predominantly rural neighbourhoods. Children living in predominantly rural neighbourhoods were found to have a significantly higher BMI trajectory and were more likely to be on a BMI trajectory leading to obesity by adulthood. Conclusions: This dissertation identified children at risk of becoming obese by adulthood and neighbourhood types that are most conducive of children developing obesity. The results suggest that prevention efforts should be targeted to children living in rural areas and that these efforts should differ from those applied in urban settings. Physical activity explains a small proportion of obesity risk suggesting that other factors (e.g., diet) may play an important role in obesity risk associated with neighbourhood factors.

The effect of impurities on crystal morphology is a challenging problem, since even at low concentrations they can have drastic effects on the final habit. Industrially this causes problems with downstream processes such as filtration, processability and even storage. Conversely, structurally related additive molecules may be introduced to a system in order to mimic the effect of an impurity resulting in a beneficial effect on problematic crystal morphologies. The work presented here considers the design and use of tailor made additives on a nonhydrogen bonded crystal, benzophenone. This compound is typical of many agrochemical materials in that the major intermolecular interactions are of the nondirectional van der Waals type. Using crystal packing analysis a selection of additives has been chosen with the intent of specifically hindering certain directions of crystal growth. From an initial group of nine molecules two additives, 4ABP and 4MBP were found tobe particularly effective, both strongly hindering growth. Measured kinetic data suggests that these additives bind to steps in the growth spirals, drastically slowing growth of specific crystal faces altering the crystal morphology to a needle shape. Through nucleation experiments and product analysis the additives were shown to effect only crystal growth becoming incorporated into the crystal structure. Computational modelling of the binding of additives to the crystal surfaces of benzophenone has been used in an attempt to rationalise the experimental effects. In many cases calculated binding energies were in agreement with experimental observation. However, modified attachment energies did not match well with experimental observations.

This thesis examines the roles of stock illiquidity and short-sale constraints in explaining the asset growth effect. The puzzling negative relation between growth in firm-level assets and expected stock returns has received increasing attention in the literature. The first empirical chapter explores how variations in stock illiquidity and liquidity risk affect the negative asset growth-return relation. I find that the total asset growth effect appears to subsume other asset growth and investment effects. Moreover, the asset growth effect is concentrated among illiquid stocks. The return spreads between low- and high-growth portfolios declined after controlling for their exposure to liquidity risk. The second chapter examines how high short-sale constraints interact with the asset growth effect, particularly the exploitability of the short- side of the effect. My results indicate that profits from taking short positions in high-growth stocks are limited among highly short-sale constrained stocks. I document an abnormal return asymmetry between the long side and short side of the asset growth effect, which is more pronounced when there is a strong demand to sell short and a limited supply of shares to borrow. In the third chapter, I employ both short-sale constraints and stock illiquidity in explaining the asset growth effect. I find the NASDAQ market has a stronger effect than the NYSE/AMEX markets. The significant negative returns of high-asset growth stocks rely heavily on short-sale constrained stocks. The strong positive returns earned by low- asset growth stocks concentrate on illiquid stocks. After controlling for both short-sale constraints and stock illiquidity, total asset growth rate cannot predict stock returns independently.

This thesis presents a survey of the development of economic growth theory, including the latest developments in the relationship between international economic integration through international flows of goods and/or knowledge and endogenous economic growth. Based on the following literature review, a new and more reasonable model for the research and development (i.e., the R&D) sector--a sector which is considered the source of long-run growth--is offered in order to develop and improve the framework built by Rivera-Batiz and Rome (1991), i.e. the RBR model. This new model will make the RBR framework more complete and rational. In this new model, it is proved that any form of economic integration will increase the long-run rate of growth, and these results are compared with those of the RBR. Moreover, Devereux and Lapham's efforts to find some dynamic analysis along the transitional path under two different situations: knowledge flows only, and both goods and knowledge flows, are continued in the same model. It is found that when only knowledge is allowed to flow across borders, economic integration generates corner solutions for the production of the R&D sector, while this does not happen when complete goods and knowledge flows exist. However, the real balanced growth rates in these diverse situations are higher than they are in autarky.

The aim of this research is to examine the abnormal features of uterine growth and development associated with tamoxifen use, to determine if this is due to its failure to replicate all the effects of oestradiol; either inducing or repressing the expression of key paracrine acting regulators of uterine cellular populations or their gene expression profiles, and to examine if such abnormal features could be prevented by the administration of a progestagen-containing levonorgestrel intrauterine device (LNG-IUS) from the onset of tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer. Postmenopausal women were assessed by hysteroscope and ultrasound scanning for uterine volume, endometrial thickness and the presence of endometrial polyps or submucous fibroids before insertion of the LNG-IUS system and after 1 year. The same was done on a control group that were not treated with LNG-IUS. Benign changes in the uterus were histologically related to, (1) steroid receptor isoform, (2) proliferation and apoptosis markers, (3) mesenchymal marker expression and (4), gene expression and pathway profiles, when compared to the oestrogen induced changes of the proliferative phase uterus and the oestrogen deficient, atrophic, postmenopausal uterus. The uterotrophic effects and benign changes induced by tamoxifen were confirmed; LNG-IUS prevented both the uterotrophic effects and formation of endometrial polyps. Additionally, ERα, PRA and PRB expression were increased in tamoxifen endometrium similar to that of the proliferative phase endometrium; ERβ expression was also up regulated in the tamoxifen uterus linking it with tamoxifen associated proliferation. Increased Ki67 and Bcl2, but low BAX expression, in the tamoxifen uteri signified increased proliferation and apoptosis failure, coupled with the unique mesenchymal positivity associated with large endometrial cystic glands, suggested a transitional state tissue, undergoing remodelling with significant gene modulation. This was confirmed with microarray analysis where tamoxifen induced not only “oestrogen genes” but also “tamoxifen only genes” and pathways, revealing some of the mechanism(s) whereby tamoxifen causes uterine growth; some of these changes are oestrogen-like and others are brought out through the direct action of tamoxifen itself.

Age-related bone loss is a serious public health problem affecting 15 to 20 million people in the United States (1). In the last decade, several studies have investigated the effects of repeated bouts of exercise on bone density. Although this increase in bone density is mediated via hormones and/or cellular metabolites few studies have linked the increase in bone density with changes in these hormones or metabolites. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a single bout of weight bearing exercise on the growth factors that alter bone metabolism. Seven healthy female subjects (age 23 ± 5 yrs.) agreed to participate in this study. A V02 max test was administered to each subject to determine their overall fitness level. A treadmill speed corresponding to 70% of their V02 max was then developed and the subjects ran for 40 minm on the treadmill at that speed. Blood samples were drawn pre and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min post-exercise and assayed for serum growth hormone, calcium, parathyroid hormone, and alkaline phosphatase. No significant change was found in parathyroid hormone, calcium, or alkaline phosphatase serum levels. Growth hormone was found to be significantly decreased 30, 45, and 60 min. post-exercise as compared to pre-exercise levels (7.089, 5.399, 4.728, and 11.28 ng/mL, respectively). While this indicates that exercise may cause a depression in growth hormone levels during recovery, the elevated pre-exercise levels of three of the seven subjects masked the exercise stimulated release of growth hormone. Growth hormone stimulates bone absorption via insulin-like growth factors and the GH data suggests that these hormones may have been released well after our last measurement time point. In conchusion, 40 minutes of running exercise at 70% of V02 max does not produce a change in any of the hormones or metabolic factors directly associated with calcium turnover in the bone, suggesting that acute exercise has no immediate effect on bone metabolism. However, the exercise protocol did stimulate GH release which influences bone growth indirectly by its ability to regulate IGF release. Therefore, even though no acute effects were evident, a single bout of exercise may alter the long term control of bone metabolism.

The Cytotoxic Effect of Methylglyoxal on Yeast Cell Growth Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive, cytotoxic dicarbonyl compound, mainly formed as a by-product of glycolysis. It is one of the most potent glycating agents and readily reacts with proteins, lipids and nucleic acids to form advanced glycation end products (AGEs). However, the molecular targets of MG are largely unknown. Glucose is the preferred carbon source of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae which it can sense and utilize efficiently over a broad range of concentrations. It prefers to ferment rather than oxidize glucose, even when oxygen is abundant. The yeast cell-surface glucose sensors Rgt2 and Snf3 function as glucose receptors that sense extracellular glucose and generate a signal for induction of genes encoding glucose transporters (Hxts). Using molecular and cell biology approaches, including Western blotting, qRT-PCR analysis and fluorescence microscopy, I have provided evidence that MG inhibits expression of the Hxts (Hxt1 and Hxt3) by inactivating the low-affinity yeast glucose sensor Rgt2. MG inhibits the growth of glucose-fermenting yeast cells by inducing endocytosis and degradation of the glucose sensor. However, the glucose sensor with mutations at their putative ubiquitin-acceptor lysine residues is resistant to MG-induced degradation. The results of this study suggest that the low-affinity glucose sensor Rgt2 is inactivated through ubiquitin-mediated endocytosis and degraded in the presence of MG. Under physiological conditions, MG is detoxified by the glyoxalase system into D-lactate, with glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) as the key enzyme in the anti-glycation defense. This study further indicates that the inhibitory effect of MG on the glucose sensor is greatly enhanced in the cells lacking Glo1. Thus, the stability of this glucose sensor seems to be critically regulated by intracellular MG levels. Taken together, these findings suggest that MG attenuates glycolysis by promoting degradation of the cell surface glucose sensor and thus identify MG as a potential glycolytic inhibitor.

Mestrado em Biotecnologia
O Oenococcus oeni é uma espécie de bactéria de elevado interesse, nomeadamente enológico, porque é capaz de realizar a fermentação maloláctica (desacidificação do vinho) e reúne as condições essenciais para poder sobreviver às condições adversas do vinho. Por outro lado ao alta-pressão é uma tecnologia com grande potencial para explorar novas e promissoras aplicações na biotecnologia. Neste trabalho pretendeu-se avaliar o efeito de um tratamento de alta-pressão no metabolismo desta bactéria, nomeadamente na descarboxilação do ácido L-málico, no metabolismo de açúcares e no crescimento bacteriano. O tratamento de 50 MPa durante 8 h e 100 MPa durante 0.5 h não resultaram em alterações significativas no metabolismo das bactérias. O tratamento de 100 MPa, durante 8 e 60 h resultaram numa redução da quantidade de ácido L-láctico produzido, propondo-se que também foi produzido ácido D-láctico a partir do ácido L-málico. O tratamento de 300 MPa durante 0.5 h resultou na completa inactivação das bactérias. Assim conclui-se que alta-pressão é uma tecnologia que permite a alteração do metabolismo, nomeadamente a modificação da especificidade da enzima maloláctica, e a inactivação de Oenococcus oeni.
The Oenococcus oeni is a bacterial species with high interest, especially winemaking, because it is able to carry out malolactic fermentation (wine desacidification) and has the essentials conditions to be able to survive in the wine harsh conditions. On the other hand the high-pressure is a technology with great potential to explore new and promising applications in biotechnology. In this work the aim was to evaluate the effect of high pressure treatments in the metabolism of the bacteria, especially in the decarboxylation of L-malic acid, in the sugars metabolism and bacterial growth. The treatment of 50 MPa during 8 hours and 100 MPa during 0.5 h did not result in significant alterations in the bacteria metabolism. The treatment at 100 MPa during 8 and 60 h resulted in a reduction of the amount of L-lactic acid produced. It was proposed that was also produced D-lactic acid from L-malic acid. The treatment of 0.5 MPa during 300 h resulted in complete inactivation of bacteria. It is concluded that high pressure is a technology that allows the alteration of the metabolism, particularly change of malolactic enzyme specificity, and inactivation of Oenococcus oeni.

Epidermal growth factor (EGF), a 53-amino acid polypeptide, is a potent mitogen for proximal tubular cells. However, no one has successfully demonstrated that EGF accelerated proliferation of proximal tubular cells. Using primary culture of rabbit proximal tubules, we recently found that EGF induced 37% increase in cell number of cultured proximal tubule cells at day 5 approaching subconfluent stage, but did not accelerate proliferation when added at the lag phase. Since thymidine incorporation and cell cycle analysis have demonstrated that no significant change is found after EGF treatment, it clearly indicated EGF is not mitogen at this phase. On the contrary,it reduced protein contents of cultured proximal tubular cells dose-dependently.We further determined whether the decrease in protein contents was caused by cell floating, and our data confirmed the suspicion. Other growth factors or mitogens, such as TGFa, aFGF, bFGF, IGF-1, ADP and ATP,also induced cell floating in the same setting. Since we also observed that there were cell floating and morphological changes in cultured proximal tubular cells after 2-3 hr incubation of 10 ng/ml EGF, we therefore proposed that the cytoskeletal changes induced by EGF may lead to cell floating. Using immunocytochemical methods to determine whether EGF altered the appearance of actin, cytokeratin and b-tubulin, we found that EGF, at the dose of 0.1 ng/ml and up induced redistribution of actin, reorganization of cytokeratin filaments and elongation of b-tubulin. TGFa, IGF-1, and bFGF induced similar changes, but ADP did not. The underlying mechanisms are to be elucidated. Interestingly, the minimal dosage of EGF to induce cytoskeletal changes of proximal tubules lies within the physiological range of plasma concentration, suggesting that EGF play some roles in maintenance of cell morphology.

This paper is the first mover to examine the effect of firm growth opportunity on market reactions of diversifying decision. Using a sample of 64 diversifying events in U.S. spanning from 1996 to 2002, the results show that the firms with high growth opportunities have significantly positive announcement abnormal returns, and however the firms with low growth opportunities have negative announcement returns. After taking into account other factors affecting diversifying announcement returns, the significant positive relationship between growth opportunity and announcement returns still hold. Besides, we find firm size and profitability are both significant determinants of diversifying returns.

Chlorella contains high amounts of amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibers, minerals and vitamins. It is also rich in Chlorella Growth Factor (C.G.F). Chlorella can assist to lift levels of anti-atheroscloresis, anti-diabetics and antioxidation. And it helps to remove intestinal heavy metals from human body. Ingestion of C.G..F can help to strengthen immune system, promoting cell growth. It is also with high efficacy in boosting cell growth. The aim of this study is to obtain the most effective amount of C.G.F to be added into cultivation of Lactic acid bacteria. Tested bacteria strains were Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Bacillus coagulans. Dosage of C.G.F to be added into the cultures were: 0, 2, 4 and 6 % (v/v). Th results of this work showed : (1) The propagation of bacteria was raised significantly with increased amount of C.G.F. (2) When the concentration of C.G.F higher than 2%, the growth rate of bacteria increased slowly. It revealed that 2% of C.G.F was driving more rapid propagation of the bacteria than 4% and 6%. Therefore, maximum revenue and economic benefit was obtained if only 2% C.G.F was added. (3) The growth rates of strains against 2% C.G.F are shown as below: Lactobacillus acidophilus 126.38%, Lactobacillus casei 113.50% and Bacillus coagulans 328.0%.

Hemin is a chlorination iron-containing porphyrin. It is an endogenous breakdown product of hemoglobin. Hemin is used clinically as a pharmacological agent in the treatment of acute intermittent porphyria. Previous studies have indicated that hemin possesses anti-tumor activity in breast cancer and glioblastoma. Thus, we examine whether hemin exhibits antitumor activity and investigates its mechanism in C6 glioma. Our results showed that C6 glioma exposure to 50 μM of hemin resulted in a significant inhibition in cell viability assessed by MTT assay and cell counting. Furthermore, LDH release assay further revealed that hemin exhibited potent cytotoxicity in C6 glioma. Acridine orange staining and Western blot assay showed that hemin-induced cell death exerts features of autophagy. Autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine (3MA) and wortmannin can significantly inhibit hemin-induced cell death and autophagy. In addition, 2,7-diacetyldichlorofluorescein (DCF-DA) staining revealed that hemin transient induced production of Reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, antioxidants N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and (±)-α-Tocopherol (Vitamin E) can significantly prevent hemin-induced cell death and autophagy, suggesting that oxidative stress plays an important role in hemin-induced cell death in C6 glioma. We further investigated the mechanisms underlying hemin-induced autophagy in C6 glioma. Our results revealed that exposure of C6 glioma to hemin for 2 to 180 minutes results in a significant increase in phosphorylation of ERK and JNK and transcription factor c-Jun. Antioxidants pretreatment can effectively prevent activation of these signaling proteins, suggesting that ROS plays a role of signaling molecule in hemin-induced activation of ERK/JNK/c-Jun pathway. In addition, inhibition of ERK and JNK by U0126 and SP600125 significantly inhibits hemin-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun , cell death and autophagy . More importantly, inhibition of c-Jun activity by SR11302 can prevent hemin-induced cell death and autophagy. These results suggested that hemin induces autophagic cell death by activating ROS /ERK/JNK/c-Jun pathway in C6 glioma.

Anubias barteri var. nana‘Petite’ is a Araceae aquatic plant. It’s easy growth and endowed ornamental merit have made it popular in market. Due to its slow growth and difficulty in seed production, it required long period of time for cuttings growth and propagation. Hence, this experiment was aimed at founding the most suitable conditions for cuttings growth by means of several approaches including growth investigation at various nurseries, under various temperatures, and various cutting bed media, as well as treating cutting submerged or sprayed with different plant growth regulators, such as NAA、BA and GA3 in various concentrations and combinations. A yearlong and monthly investigation on cuttings growth status was conducted. The exprimental results showed that the momthly average growth increment was high from May to October for root length, from February to September for stolon length, from June to September for number of leaves and from May to September for fresh weight, except number of roots, which had no obvious difference. Therefore, it is reasonable to plant cuttings during the spring, and to obtain faster growth during summer to autumn. Grow cutting in both greenhouse and aquarium nurseries showed non-significant difference in length of root, length of stolon, number of leaves and fresh weight；except number of root, which showed that growing in greenhouse was significant better than aquarium. Grow cutting under different temperatures showed that as the temperature increased from 15℃ to 25℃, all of the characters investigated were increased. However, they were decreased as the temperature raised up from 25℃ to 30℃, and they were almost died at 35℃. Comparisons made among pearl stone、peat soil、rock wool and pearl stone + peat soil showed that the combination of peat soil and pearl stone in the ratio of 1:1 for cutting bed medium, obtained the significantly higher fresh weight, it was the best medium recommended. Comparisons made among different concentrations of NAA、BA、GA3 and there combinations showed that the treatments of NAA 0.5 mg/L and GA3 0.5 mg/L had significantly higher fresh weight. Unfortunateiy, that most of the cuttings submerged in plant growth regulators were damaged to rot in their roots,leaves and cutting surface. The cutting submerged in different plant growth regulators for 24 hours and grow in greenhouse for one month was resulted in GA3 5 mg/L obtained the significantly best performance in fresh weight increment；while BA、NAA、BA+NAA in 5 mg/L high concentration leve were all gotten poor growth. The cuttings sprayed with different plant growth regulators of different concentrations in each of two weeks interval and grew in greenhouse for three months showed that the best performance in fresh weight inerement was found in treatment sprayed with with NAA 1 mg/L、BA 1 mg/L、BA 5 mg/L or GA3 1 mg/L. however, they had non-significant differences as compared to each other and to the control. On the contrary, the treatment sprayed with GA3 10 mg/L was performed the poorest in this growth charater.

Different varieties of Oncidium were cultured in 4 various growth medium, the variety Gower Ramsey ‘427’ showed higher root activity 1.63 O.D./g in mixed medium. When the plant cultured in Oasis and matured, the pseudobulb had more total soluble sugars and starch content 48.5% and 17.8% respectively. The flowering quality was better, inflorescence with more branch 7.2 and florets 88.9. Root activity of Gower Ramsey ‘Volcano Queen’ ranges from 1.86 - 1.99 O.D./g don''t obvious significantly among 4 growth medium. When plant cultured in rockwool and matured, the total soluble sugars and starch content in pseudobulb were 45.1% and 35.5% respectively, which higher than other treatments. Flowering quality was also better when plant cultured in rockwool, sphagnum moss and Oasis than in mixed medium, especially in rockwool with inflorescence branches 10.2, florets 128.7 and stalk length 76 cm, respectively. Root activity of Honey Angel was higher 1.88 O.D./g when plant cultured in rockwool. The total soluble sugars and starch content of pseudobulb, which were 55.4% and 23.7% respectively, had higher when plant cultured in rockwool and matured. The flowering quality were better when plant cultured in rockwool and Oasis medium, inflorescence branch 9.3, florets 117.4 and stalk length 93.7 cm, respectively. Different varieties of Oncidium during various growth stages, the result of nutrient composition on plant nutrient variation indicate that, for Gower Ramsey ‘427’, the pseudobulb at unsheathing stages contain higher N, P, K, Fe, which were 2.01%, 1.24%, 2.02% and 48.25 mg/L, respectively. At harvest stage, there had higher Mg, Cu, Mn and Zn, which were 0.38%, 2.04 mg/L, 10.72 mg/L and 9.72 mg/L, respectively. Total soluble sugar content was higher 43.14% at unsheathing stage. For Gower Ramsey ‘Volcano Queen’, the pseudobulb at unsheathing stages had higher N, P, K content, which corresponds to 2.33%, 1.35% and 1.57%, respectively. At harvest stage, there were higher Ca 1.73% and Mg 0.39%. Total soluble sugar and starch content at unsheathing stage were higher than other stages, which corresponds to 38.3% and 25.26%. For Honey Angel, the pseudobulb at unsheathing stage had higher N, P, and Mn content, which corresponds to 2.08%, 1.30% and 12.65 mg/L, respectively. At mature pseudobulb stage, K content was 2.07%, higher than other stages. At harvest stage, Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn content, which corresponds to 2.09%, 0.33%, 7.17 mg/L and 9.43 mg/L, respectively. Total soluble sugar and starch content were higher at unsheathing stage, which were 45.32% and 28.29%, respectively. The result of kinetin sprayed treatments showed that Gower Ramsey ‘427’ had better quality of inflorescence at 100 mg/L sprayed. The inflorescence branch and florets number were 9.8 and 117.5, respectively. The phenomenon was similarly with Growth Ramsey ‘Volcano Queen’ and Honey Angel. For the three kind of Oncidium varieties that sprayed 50-200 mg/L kinetin, the calcium content of labellum all increased significant to 3203-3945 mg/L than the contrast treatment. And, the electrolytes leakage, ethylene production and carbon dioxide of labellum tissue was lower than the control at development stages of floret, especially in kinetin 100 mg/L.
