Experiments are presented to the effect that in an inflammatory process histamine and leucotaxin appear successively at different and orderly time intervals, thus assuring an increased fluid flow through the capillary wall. Histamine is released not only in the inflammatory process but also by intradermal administration of such substances (volatile oils or their components) which induce neither the triple response of Th. Lewis nor any tissue damage. This could be explained by the fact that in the tissues histamine is ‘present’ but leucotaxin is ‘formed.’

The glycolytic modulator TP53-Inducible Glycolysis and Apoptosis Regulator (TIGAR) is overexpressed in several types of cancer and has a role in metabolic rewiring during tumor development. However, little is known about the role of this enzyme in proliferative tissues under physiological conditions. In the current work, we analysed the role of TIGAR in primary human lymphocytes stimulated with the mitotic agent Concanavalin A (ConA). We found that TIGAR expression was induced in stimulated lymphocytes through the PI3K/AKT pathway, since Akti-1/2 and LY294002 inhibitors prevented the upregulation of TIGAR in response to ConA. In addition, suppression of TIGAR expression by siRNA decreased the levels of the proliferative marker PCNA and increased cellular ROS levels. In this model, TIGAR was found to support the activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), the first enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), since the inhibition of TIGAR reduced G6PDH activity and increased autophagy. In conclusion, we demonstrate here that TIGAR is upregulated in stimulated human lymphocytes through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which contributes to the redirection of the carbon flux to the PPP.

ABSTRACTThe contribution of a population of mound building, detritivorous termites (Amitermes laurensis (Mjöberg)) to nett carbon mineralization in an Australian tropical semi-arid woodland has been examined. Carbon mineralization rates were estimated by measuring daily CO2 flux from five termite mounds at monthly intervals for 12 months. Carbon flux from the mounds was found to be due to microbial activity as well as termite activity. It is conservatively estimated that the association of A. laurensis and the microbial population present in their mounds is responsible for between 4%–10% of carbon mineralized in this ecosystem, and the contribution of all termites together (mound builders and subterranean) may account for up to 20% of carbon mineralized. Regression analysis showed that rates of carbon mineralization in termite mounds were significantly related to mound moisture and mound temperature. Soil moisture was the most important factor in soil carbon mineralization, with temperature and a moisture X temperature interaction term also exerting significant affects.

ABSTRACTIn the Czochralski growth of single crystals from large melts, fluid flow phenomena have a major effect on interface shape, growth striations, defect density and the length of crystals which can be grown from a melt of given volume and thermal geometry. Because of the technical difficulties encountered in making direct measurements in molten oxides, simulation experiments have been extensively utilized to gain insight into melt behavior.Both temperature profile and flow geometry results from simulation experiments are discussed. This data is supported by direct melt observations and results from the characterization of grown crystals. When reviewed together, this information offers new insights into the complex behavior of Czochralski growth processes, including the role of thermal gradients, crystal rotation, and surface tension driven (Marangoni) convection.
