The Mean

The effect of zinc sulfate and zinc chelate on the leaf mineral content, yield and fruit weight of the peach variety Andross was investigated in a Greek orchard. Foliar application of a 25% zinc sulfate solution on 25 February and 2% zinc chelate solution on 20 May increased the zinc content of leaves and no toxicity was observed. In contrast, foliar application of 6% zinc sulfate and soil application of zinc sulfate at a rate of 200 g/tree on 25 February did not affect the zinc content of leaves. However, zinc sulfate applied to the soil at a rate of 200 g/tree significantly increased fruit yield. Statistically, the mean fruit weight and the susceptibility of fruit to Monilinia laxa did not differ between treatments. However, postharvest fruit susceptibility to M. laxa increased when fruit were dipped in a zinc chelate solution.

Objective.To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of intralesional injection of 2% zinc sulfate solution in the treatment of common warts.Patients and Methods.One hundred and twenty patients (78 females and 42 males) aged 5–55 years with 225 common warts participated in this prospective monocentric randomized study. All lesions were treated with intralesional injection of 2% zinc sulfate.Results.From 225 warts injected, 135 warts (60%) cured from the first session, 51 warts (22.67%) cured from the second session, and 12 warts (5.33%) cured from the third session. There is no significant relation between improvement and patient’s ages, duration, or number of warts (P<0.05). All patients complained from pain during injection, and all treated lesions showed redness, tenderness, and swelling in the first 3 days after injection. Late complications were postinflammatory hyperpigmentation in 90 patients (75%), scaring in 9 patients (7.5%), and ulceration in 3 patients (2.5%). Recurrence occurred in 3 lesions (1.33%).Conclusion.The clinical data indicate that intralesional injection of 2% zinc sulfate is an effective maneuver in the treatment of common warts; however, its associated complications limit its use.

The aim of this study was to assess the yield and fruits quality of plum produced in ecological system.In 2019-2020 periods the influence of different fertilizers (Biohumus, Macys BC 28 and Cifamin BK) on yield and fruits quality at three plum cultivars (‘Centenar’, ‘Tita’ and ‘Stanley’) was carried out in a demonstrative plot from Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitești, Romania. Biohumus was applied to the soil in increasing dosesfrom 0.5 l/tree (respectively 415 l/ha), 0.7 l/tree (respectively 585 l/ha) to 0.9 l / tree (respectively 750 l/ha) in two moments: in spring before the start of vegetation and in autumn after the fall of the leaves.Macys BC 28 and Cifamin BK fertilizers were applied foliar in doses of 2 l/ha, respectively 1 l/ha, in two moments: after flowering and in the young fruit phase.As results of the investigations we found that: the highest fruit yield was obtained at ‘Centenar’ (47.36 kg/tree) and ‘Stanley’ (41.00 kg/tree) cultivars in fertilization variant 3 (Biohumus – 0,9 l/tree, soil application + Macys BC 28 – 2 l/ha, foliar application + Cifamin BK – 1 l/ha, foliar application);the best results regarding the fruits weight were also obtained in the 3rd fertilization variant (Biohumus – 0,9 l/tree, soil application + Macys BC 28 – 2 l/ha, foliar application + Cifamin BK – 1 l/ha, foliar application), among the varieties being noted the ‘Tita’cv. with an average fruit weight of 59. 14 g; the fruits soluble solid content was higher in the case of the fertilized variants than in the unfertilized variant and the fruits aciditywas higher in the case of the unfertilized variant than in the fertilized variants.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vivo the effects of cadmium and zinc ions on translational machinery and death of mouse liver cells. Material and methods. Outbred mice received intraperitoneal injections of cadmium chloride solution (1.4 μmoles cadmium per 1 kg of body weight) and/or zinc sulfate solution (4.8 μmoles zinc per kg of body weight) three times per week for six weeks. Analogical volume of saline solution was injected to the control mice. Protein synthesis was evaluated by incorporation of [14C]-labeled leucine into peptides and proteins. Total tRNAs were isolated using deproteinized extract of liver tissue. Postmitochondrial supernatant was as a source of leucyl-tRNA synthetase. Activities of tRNALeu and leucyl-tRNA synthetase were measured by an aminoacylation reaction using [14C]-labeled leucine. Liver cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay using in situ cell death detection kit. Results. A decrease in incorporation of [14C]-labeled leucine into proteins was detected in liver, kidney, and heart as well as diminution of tRNALeu acceptor activity in cadmium-exposed liver. Cadmium caused activation of the leucyl-tRNA synthetase and induced liver cell apoptosis. Pretreatment of mice with zinc sulfate solution favored to protection of protein synthesis and acceptor activity of tRNALeu against cadmium-induced inhibition. Under co-exposure of mouse liver to cadmium and zinc, activity of the leucyl-tRNA synthetase was at the level of control. Zinc did not influence TUNEL-positive cell number in cadmium-exposed mouse liver. Conclusions. Under subacute intoxication of mice by cadmium, zinc ions protect the translation machinery against inhibition, but do not decrease the number of apoptotic cells in the liver.
