Antiplatelet and Antithrombotic Effects of Isaridin E Isolated from the Marine-Derived Fungus via Downregulating the PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway

Isaridin E, a cyclodepsipeptide isolated from the marine-derived fungus Amphichorda felina (syn. Beauveria felina) SYSU-MS7908, has been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory and insecticidal activities. Here, we first found that isaridin E concentration-dependently inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation, activation, and secretion in vitro, but did not affect collagen- or thrombin-induced platelet aggregation. Furthermore, isaridin E dose-dependently reduced thrombosis formation in an FeCl₃-induced mouse carotid model without increasing the bleeding time. Mechanistically, isaridin E significantly decreased the ADP-mediated phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt. In conclusion, these results suggest that isaridin E exerts potent antithrombotic effects in vivo without increasing the risk of bleeding, which may be due to its important role in inhibiting ADP-induced platelet activation, secretion and aggregation via the PI3K/Akt pathways.     

Saccharobisindole,Neoasterric Methyl Ester,and 7-Chloro-4(1H)-quinolone: Three New Compounds Isolated from the Marine Bacterium Saccharomonospora sp.

Analysis of the chemical components from the culture broth of the marine bacterium Saccharomonospora sp. CNQ-490 has yielded three novel compounds: saccharobisindole (1), neoasterric methyl ester (2), and 7-chloro-4(1H)-quinolone (3), in addition to acremonidine E (4), pinselin (5), penicitrinon A (6), and penicitrinon E (7). The chemical structures of the three novel compounds were elucidated by the interpretation of 1D, 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) data. Compound 2 generated weak inhibition activity against Bacillus subtilis KCTC2441 and Staphylococcus aureus KCTC1927 at concentrations of 32 μg/mL and 64 μg/mL, respectively, whereas compounds 1 and 3 did not have any observable effects. In addition, compound 2 displayed weak anti-quorum sensing (QS) effects against S. aureus KCTC1927 and Micrococcus luteus SCO560.     

长沙黑麋峰冬季鸟类资源调查及多样性分析

通过对黑麋峰森林公园鸟类资源的初步调查,共鉴定鸟类28种,隶属于5个目,15个科,25个属。公园内的Shannon-Wiener指数为0.864 6,均匀度指数为0.597 5。同时,用G-F指数对该地区鸟类的科与属的多样性指数进行了分析,得出G指数为1.374 5,F指数为1.586 2,G-F指数为0.133 5。与湖南其它几个地区的鸟类多样性相比,黑麋峰的鸟类多样性较低,并进一步分析了其鸟类多样性低的原因。     

昆虫病原真菌在害虫防治中对天敌生物的影响研究进展

昆虫病原真菌是一类重要的微生物杀虫剂,广泛应用于农林害虫的生物防治。由于寄主范围广和主动侵染的特点,昆虫病原真菌在侵染、致死靶标害虫的同时,对包括天敌昆虫在内的非靶标节肢动物等会产生潜在的致病或亚致死风险。本文总结了昆虫病原真菌在害虫防治中的研究进展及对天敌生物的影响,并展望了昆虫病原真菌作为极具潜力的生物农药与天敌生物联合防治害虫的未来发展方向。     

控制小菜蛾的赤眼蜂田间种群保护与增殖研究

通过建立十字花科蔬菜间作甜玉米、黑光灯诱虫育蜂笼这2种田间保护增殖措施,探讨了玉米螟赤眼蜂Trichogramma ostriniae、拟澳洲赤眼蜂T.confusum以及卷蛾分索赤眼蜂Trichogranunatoidea baarae对小菜蛾Plutella xylonella种群数量控制的作用．结果表明：十字花科蔬菜地间作甜玉米使得玉米螟赤眼蜂对小菜蛾卵寄生率有明显的提高,为4．62％～11．47％;黑光灯诱虫育蜂笼的设立对田间小菜蛾卵寄生蜂的种群数量起到了良好的增殖作用,自2002年4月初到6月底,诱集小菜蛾产卵127300粒,培育卷蛾分索赤眼蜂10万多头．在育蜂笼设立初期,笼内小菜蛾卵的寄生率为87．34％,距笼5m之外其寄生率急剧下降,其有效扩散范围不超过20m．2个月后的调查表明,赤眼蜂可逐步扩散到离育蜂笼30m处,各调查点之间寄生率的差距逐渐缩小,在距笼25m范围内,小菜蛾卵的寄生率维持在50％以上,有效地抑制了小菜蛾种群数量的增长．     

Trends in natural resource use and prospects for sustainable resource management in Kenya's Arid and Semiarid Lands

This paper describes the environmental problems facing the development of Kenya's Arid and Semiarid lands (ASAL) today. The problems arise because of a rapidly declining resource base in the ASAL as a result of overexploitation and misuse, following basic land use conflicts. The extent of the overutilization or resource damage is not well known and varies a great deal from one agroecological zone to another and from resource to resource in the ASAL; those most affected include: soil, water, range, forest, livestock and wildlife. As a result of increased population growth in the ASAL, these resources are under stress. This paper argues that many of the environmental problems in the ASAL cannot be solved if the development programme does not address the needs of the people who live in the ASAL. There is a need to shift the objective of ASAL development from a preoccupation with economic growth and the idea that the ASAL should make a contribution to GNP through interregional trade and export to sustainable development that enables the communities in the ASAL to support themselves at as good a standard of living as possible. The last part of this paper outlines a strategy to promote such sustainable development.
