Habitat management: a tool to modify ecosystem impacts of nitrogen deposition? (1/9)
Atmospheric nitrogen deposition has been shown to affect both the structure and the function of heathland ecosystems. Heathlands are semi-natural habitats and, as such, undergo regular management by mowing or burning. Different forms of management remove more or less nutrients from the system, so habitat management has the potential to mitigate some of the effects of atmospheric deposition. Data from a dynamic vegetation model and two field experiments are presented. The first involves nitrogen addition following different forms of habitat management. The second tests the use of habitat management to promote heathland recovery after a reduction in nitrogen deposition. Both modelling and experimental approaches suggest that plant and microbial response to nitrogen is affected by management. Shoot growth and rates of decomposition were lowest in plots managed using more intensive techniques, including mowing with litter removal and a high temperature burn. Field data also indicate that ecosystem recovery from prolonged elevated inputs of nitrogen may take many years, or even decades, even after the removal of plant and litter nitrogen stores which accompanies the more intensive forms of habitat management.

A multiplex terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (M-TRFLP) fingerprinting method was developed and validated for simultaneous analysis of the diversity and community structure of two or more microbial taxa (up to four taxa). The reproducibility and robustness of the method were examined using soil samples collected from different habitats. DNA was PCR amplified separately from soil samples using individual taxon-specific primers for bacteria, archaea, and fungi. The same samples were also subjected to a multiplex PCR with the primers for all three taxa. The terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles generated for the two sets of PCR products were almost identical not only in terms of the presence of peaks but also in terms of the relative peak intensity. The M-TRFLP method was then used to investigate rhizosphere bacterial, fungal, and rhizobial/agrobacterial communities associated with the dwarf shrub Calluna vulgaris growing in either open moorland, a mature pine forest, or a transition zone between these two habitats containing naturally regenerating pine trees. Rhizosphere microbial communities associated with Vaccinium myrtillus collected from the native pine forest were also investigated. In this study, individual PCR products from the three taxa were also pooled before restriction digestion and fragment size analysis. The terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism profiles obtained with PCR products amplified individually and with multiplexed and pooled PCR products were found to be consistent with each other in terms of the number, position, and relative intensity of peaks. The results presented here confirm that M-TRFLP analysis is a highly reproducible and robust molecular tool for simultaneous investigation of multiple taxa, which allows more complete and higher resolution of microbial communities to be obtained more rapidly and economically.

Solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a major cause of non-melanoma skin cancer in humans. Photochemoprevention with natural products represents a simple but very effective strategy in the management of cutaneous neoplasia. The study investigated the protective activity of Calluna vulgaris (Cv) and red grape seeds (Vitis vinifera L, Burgund Mare variety) (BM) extracts in vivo on UVB-induced deleterious effects in SKH-1 mice skin. Forty SKH-1 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10): control, UVB irradiated, Cv + UVB irradiated, BM+UVB irradiated. Both extracts were applied topically on the skin in a dose of 4 mg/40 mul/cm(2) before UVB exposure - single dose. The effects were evaluated in skin 24 hours after irradiation through the presence of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and sunburn cells, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-6 levels. The antioxidant activity of BM extract was higher than those of Cv extract as determined using stable free radical DPPH assay and ABTS test. One single dose of UVB generated formation of CPDs (p<0.0001) and sunburn cells (p<0.0002) and increased the cytokine levels in skin (p<0.0001). Twenty hours following irradiation BM extract inhibited UVB-induced sunburn cells (p<0.02) and CPDs formation (p<0.0001). Pretreatment with Cv and BM extracts resulted in significantly reduced levels of IL-6 and TNF-alpha compared with UVB alone (p<0.0001). Our results suggest that BM extracts might be a potential candidate in preventing the damages induced by UV in skin.

Photochemoprevention with natural products represents a new concept in the attempt to reduce the occurrence of skin cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms caused by ultraviolet light exposure remain still unclear. The aim of the study was to assess the mechanisms involved in the action of a Calluna vulgaris (Cv) extract, administered in single or multiple doses (10 consecutive days), on UVB-induced skin damage in SKH-1 hairless mice. The extract was topically applied 30 min before each UVB exposure in two doses (2.5 and 4 mg total polyphenolic content/40 mul/cm(2)). At 24 hours after the last treatment, total mitogen-activated protein kinase (p44/42MAPkinase, ERK 1/2), nuclear factor-kappaB (phospho-NF-kappaB p65), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2, MMP-9) and metalloproteinase inhibitor 1 (TIMP-1) levels were measured in skin using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MMP-2 and -9 activities were additionally evaluated by zymography. One topical application of Cv extract reduced the secretion (p<0.004) and inhibited MMP-9 activity UVB-mediated (54% inhibition) via inhibition of NF-kappaB activation (68% inhibition). In multiple UVB exposures, both doses of Cv extract induced the increase of ERK 1/2 level in correlation with activation of NF-kappaB and reduced the secretion (p<0.04) and activation of MMP-9 (62% inhibition). Pretreatment with Cv diminished the MMP-2 protein secretion only in one dose UVB-irradiated group (p<0.0001) and decreased TIMP-1 level (p<0.001). These results demonstrated the dual behavior of Cv extract in skin protection against single versus multiple doses of UVB irradiation.

(+info)"Calluna" is a scientific name that refers to a genus of shrubs in the heather family (Ericaceae). The most common species in this genus is Calluna vulgaris, which is commonly known as heather or ling. This plant is native to Europe and western Asia and is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant due to its attractive flowers and evergreen foliage. It is also used for erosion control, as a food source for livestock, and in traditional medicine.
Therefore, "Calluna" is not typically used as a medical term, but rather it is a scientific name for a type of plant. However, certain compounds derived from this plant may have medicinal properties, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. These potential therapeutic uses are still being researched and are not yet widely established in medical practice.
Ericaceae is a family of flowering plants, also known as heath family or heather family. It includes a number of genera with over 4000 species, many of which are evergreen shrubs and trees. Some well-known members of this family include blueberries, cranberries, rhododendrons, azaleas, and heathers. These plants typically prefer acidic soils and are often found in woodland, mountain, and coastal habitats.
I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Hebrides" is not a medical term. It refers to an archipelago off the west coast of Scotland, consisting of two main groups of islands: the Inner Hebrides and the Outer Hebrides. The islands are known for their stunning landscapes, rich history, and unique Gaelic culture. If you have any questions about medical terminology or concepts, I'd be happy to help!
Galliformes is not a medical term, but a taxonomic order in ornithology, which is the study of birds. It includes landfowl such as grouses, turkeys, chickens, pheasants, quails, and other related species. These birds are characterized by their strong and stout bodies, short tails, and rounded wings. They typically inhabit a variety of terrestrial habitats worldwide, except for Australia and some oceanic islands. Some members of this order have cultural and economic significance as sources of food and feathers.
An encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference work containing articles on various topics, usually arranged in alphabetical order. In the context of medicine, a medical encyclopedia is a collection of articles that provide information about a wide range of medical topics, including diseases and conditions, treatments, tests, procedures, and anatomy and physiology. Medical encyclopedias may be published in print or electronic formats and are often used as a starting point for researching medical topics. They can provide reliable and accurate information on medical subjects, making them useful resources for healthcare professionals, students, and patients alike. Some well-known examples of medical encyclopedias include the Merck Manual and the Stedman's Medical Dictionary.
Helminthiasis, in general, refers to the infection or infestation of humans and animals by helminths, which are parasitic worms. When referring to "Animal Helminthiasis," it specifically pertains to the condition where animals, including domestic pets and livestock, are infected by various helminth species. These parasitic worms can reside in different organs of the animal's body, leading to a wide range of clinical signs depending on the worm species and the location of the infestation.
Animal Helminthiasis can be caused by different types of helminths:
1. Nematodes (roundworms): These include species like Ascaris suum in pigs, Toxocara cati and Toxascaris leonina in cats, and Toxocara canis in dogs. They can cause gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, vomiting, and weight loss.
2. Cestodes (tapeworms): Examples include Taenia saginata in cattle, Echinococcus granulosus in sheep and goats, and Dipylidium caninum in dogs and cats. Tapeworm infestations may lead to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea or constipation and may also cause vitamin deficiencies due to the worm's ability to absorb nutrients from the host animal's digestive system.
3. Trematodes (flukes): These include liver flukes such as Fasciola hepatica in sheep, goats, and cattle, and schistosomes that can affect various animals, including birds and mammals. Liver fluke infestations may cause liver damage, leading to symptoms like weight loss, decreased appetite, and jaundice. Schistosome infestations can lead to issues in multiple organs depending on the species involved.
Preventing and controlling Helminthiasis in animals is crucial for maintaining animal health and welfare, as well as ensuring food safety for humans who consume products from these animals. Regular deworming programs, good hygiene practices, proper pasture management, and monitoring for clinical signs are essential components of a comprehensive parasite control strategy.
Flavoring agents are substances added to foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and sometimes even medical devices to enhance or modify their taste and aroma. They can be natural, derived from plants or animals, or synthetic, created in a laboratory. Flavoring agents do not necessarily provide any nutritional value and are typically used in small quantities.
In a medical context, flavoring agents may be added to medications to improve patient compliance, especially for children or individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills. These agents can help mask the unpleasant taste of certain medicines, making them more palatable and easier to consume. However, it is essential to ensure that the use of flavoring agents does not interfere with the medication's effectiveness or safety.
