Richard L.Summers, MD, Zizhuang Li, MD, PhD, Drew Hildebrandt, PhD Department of Emergency Medicine, Department of Surgery, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery Center for Excellence in Cardiovascular-Renal Research,University of Mississippi Medical Center, 2500 North State Street, Jackson, MS 39216 Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ischemic preconditioning (IP) is a well described physiologic mechanism that protects myocardial tissues from repeated ischemic insults through KATP channel opening. Previously, this IP process has been thought to be a constrained to a local phenomenon that is mediated through indigenous biochemical adaptations. Recent evidence indicates that the cardioprotective effects of ischemic preconditioning (IP) may be systemically mediated and can influence distant tissues. However, it is uncertain if these global effects are necessary to maintain general circulatory integrity. D-Ala2-Leu5- enkephalin (DADLE), a -opioid receptor agonist, is known to induce an IP state including KATP channel opening. In this study we examined the effects of DADLE restricted to a localized segment of myocardium on overall cardiac and circulatory stability. A myocardial ischemia-reperfusion protocol was performed in pigs in which the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was ligated distal to the 1st branch in order to isolate a section of myocardium. During the occlusion period, DADLE was infused into the distal LAD (D pigs). Hemodynamic data including continuous rhythm monitoring and 12 lead EKGs were collected before and after the initiation of the DADLE. Relative arrhythmia frequency and QT dispersion (QTdisp) were compared to a control group without DADLE (C pigs). In a total of 12 pigs studied (6 D pigs ; 6 C pigs), 83% of the D pigs and 17% of the C pigs developed sustained ventricular arrhythmias after the infusion period. The D pigs incurred a 116% increase in the amount of QTdisp over the preocclusion period as compared to only a 22% increase for C pigs. IP through a mechanism of KATP channel opening is cardioprotective and limits local myocardial tissue necrosis. However, when this effect is confined to a limited area of the heart, segmental delays in repolarization may produce global cardiac electrical instability. The findings of this study support recent evidence suggesting that IP is a complex process with systemic as well as local mechanisms of action.

Will Fall 2017 Phylogenetic Models Linking Speciation and Extinction to Chromosome and Mating System Evolution Copyright 2017 by William Allen Freyman Abstract Phylogenetic Models Linking Speciation and Extinction to Chromosome and Mating System Evolution by William Allen Freyman Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology and the Designated Emphasis in Computational and Genomic Biology University of California, Berkeley Dr. Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Key evolutionary transitions have shaped the tree of life by driving the processes of spe- ciation and extinction. This dissertation aims to advance statistical and computational ap- proaches that model the timing and nature of these transitions over evolutionary trees. These methodological developments in phylogenetic comparative biology enable formal, model- based, statistical examinations of the macroevolutionary consequences of trait evolution. Chapter 1 presents computational tools for data mining the large-scale molecular sequence datasets needed for comparative phylogenetic analyses. I describe a novel metric, the miss- ing sequence decisiveness score (MSDS), which assesses the phylogenetic decisiveness of a matrix given the pattern of missing sequence data. In Chapter 2, I introduce a class of phylogenetic models of chromosome number evolution that accommodate both anagenetic and cladogenetic change.

    Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE ERICACEAE (Heath Family) A family of about 107 genera and 3400 species, primarily shrubs, small trees, and subshrubs, nearly cosmopolitan. The Ericaceae is very important in our area, with a great diversity of genera and species, many of them rather narrowly endemic. Our area is one of the north temperate centers of diversity for the Ericaceae. Along with Quercus and Pinus, various members of this family are dominant in much of our landscape.

  • ABSTRACT BIAN, YANG. Genetic Diversity And
    ABSTRACT BIAN, YANG. Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cultivated Blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.). (Under the direction of Dr. Allan Brown). Blueberry (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.) is an important small fruit crop native to North America with an incredible amount of genetic diversity that has yet to be efficiently characterized. Through broad natural and directed hybridization, the primary and secondary genepools currently utilized includes several distinct species and species hybrids in the section Cyanococcus. To date, only a limited number of cultivated blueberries have been assessed for genetic diversity in individual taxonomic groups using a limited number of molecular markers. A source of genomic SSRs is currently available through the generation and assembly of a draft genomic sequence of diploid V. corymbosum (‘W8520’). This genomic resource allows for a genome-wide survey of SSRs and the large scale development of molecular markers for blueberry genetic diversity studies and beyond. Of ~ 358 Mb genomic sequence surveyed, a total number of 43,594 SSRs were identified in 7,609 SSR-containing scaffolds (~ 122 counts per Mb). Dinucleotide repeats appeared the most abundant repeat types in all genomic regions except the predicted gene coding sequences (CDS). SSRs were most frequent and longest in 5’ untranslated region (5’ UTR), followed by 3’ UTR, while CDS contained the least frequent and shortest SSRs on average. AG/CT and AAG/CTT motifs were most frequent while CG/CG and CCG/CGG motifs were the least frequent for dinucleotide and trinucleotide motifs, respectively, in transcribed DNA. AAT/ATT motif was the most frequent trinucleotide motif in the nontranscribed DNA.

  • Forests and Scrublands of Northern Fiordland
    80 Vol. 1 FORESTS AND SCRUBLANDS OF NORTHERN FIORDLAND J. WARDLE, J. HAYWARD, and J. HERBERT, Forest and Range Experiment Station, New Zealand Forest Service, Rangiora (Received for publication 18 January 1971) ABSTRACT The composition and structure of the forests and scrublands of northern Fiordland were recorded at 1,053 sample points. The vegetation at each sample point was classified into one of 16 associations using a combination of Sorensen's 'k' index of similarity, and a multi-linkage cluster analysis. The associations were related to habitat and the distribution of each was determined. The influence of the introduced ungulates, red deer and wapiti, on the forests and scrublands was determined. Stand structure was analysed to provide infor­ mation on the susceptibility of the vegetation to damage from browsing and on the history of ungulate utilisation of the vegetation. Browse indices were calculated to provide information on current ungulate utilisation of the vegetation. INTRODUCTION A reconnaissance of northern Fiordland was carried out during the summer of 1969-70 by staff of the Forest and Range Experiment Station. The purpose was to describe the composition, structure, and habitat of the forest and scrub associations, to determine both present and past influence of ungulates on them, and to establish a number of permanent reference points to permit measurement of future changes in the vegetation. The area studied lies between the western shores of Lake Te Anau and the Tasman Sea. The southern boundary is the South Fiord of Lake Te Anau, the Esk Burn and Windward River catchments, and Charles Sound; the northern boundary is the Worsley and Transit River catchments (Fig.

Note that the list of genera is not exhaustive and the absence of a genus from a particular island group simply means that no reference was found to its occurrence in rainforest habitat in the references used (i.e. the genus may still be present in rainforest or may occur in that locality in other habitats). As the definition of rainforest can vary considerably among localities, for the purpose of this paper we considered rainforests to be terrestrial forest communities, composed largely of evergreen species, with a tree canopy that is closed for either the entire year or during the wet season.
