A Revision of Palaearctic Sunius. XII. New Species, New Synonymies, and Additional Records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae)
© Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Linzer biol. Beitr. 42/2 1045-1061 19.12.2010 A revision of Palaearctic Sunius. XII. New species, new synonymies, and additional records (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) V. ASSING A b s t r a c t : Three species of Sunius STEPHENS from the Eastern Palaearctic region are described and illustrated: S. manasluensis nov.sp. (central Nepal), S. macrops nov.sp. (China: Yunnan), and S. turgescens nov.sp. (China: Yunnan). Two synonymies are proposed: Sunius STEPHENS 1829 = Tetracanthognathus SCHEERPELTZ 1963, nov.syn.; Sunius nidicola (KASTCHEEV 1982) = S. splendidulus (BOHÁý 1988), nov.syn. The binomen Sunius kuehnelti (SCHEERPELTZ 1963), nov.comb. (previously Tetracanthognathus kuehnelti) is established; the previously unknown male sexual characters of S. kuehnelti are illustrated. Sunius galiberti COIFFAIT 1987 from central Nepal is redescribed and illustrated. Additional records of 22 species are reported from the Palaearctic region. Sunius now comprises 111 species and two subspecies in the whole of the Palaearctic region. K e y w o r d s : Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Sunius, Palaearctic region, taxonomy, new species, new synonymies, new combination, additional records 1. Introduction According to recent contributions to a revision of Sunius STEPHENS 1829, the paederine genus is represented in the Western Palaearctic region and Middle Asia by as many as 97 species and 2 subspecies (ASSING 2008a, 2008b). The Sunius fauna of the Eastern Palaearctic region, in contrast, is much less diverse and previously included merely eleven species (ASSING 2002, 2004, in press; SMETANA 2004), two from China, eight from the Himalaya and adjacent regions, and one species distributed in the Oriental regions northwards to Uttarranchal Pradesh. -

The conventional extraction techniques are mostly based on the use of mild/high temperatures (50–90 ◦C) that can cause thermal degradation, are dependent on the mass transfer rate, being reflected on long extraction times, high costs, low extraction efficiency, with consequent low extraction yields. Due to these disadvantages, it is of interest to develop non-thermal extraction methods, such as microwave, ultrasounds, supercritical fluids (mostly using carbon dioxide, SC-CO2), and high hydrostatic pressure-assisted extractions which works on the phenomena of minimum heat exposure with reduced processing time, thereby minimizing the loss of bioactive compounds during extraction. Further, to improve the stability of these extracted compounds, nano-encapsulation is required. Nano-encapsulation is a process which forms a thin layer of protection against environmental degradation and retains the nutritional and Citation: Noore, S.; Rastogi, N.K.; functional qualities of bioactive compounds in nano-scale level capsules by employing fats, starches, O’Donnell, C.; Tiwari, B. -

(2020). Total phenolic content, free radical scavenging capacity, and anti-cancer activity of silymarin. J. Food Bioact. 10: 53–63. Abstract Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seeds are a good source of dietary polyphenols. The bioactive component of milk thistle seeds, silymarin, contains flavonolignans including silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, sily- christin, isosilychristin, and silydiain along with the flavonol taxifolin. Silymarin is used traditionally as a natural herbal medicine with minimal side effects. Structurally, each silymarin component possesses phenolic hydroxyl groups and thus works as an antioxidant. In addition to free radical scavenging capacities, silymarin’s anti-cancer activities were reported for many different types of cancers including bladder, breast, colon, gastric, kidney, lung, oral, ovarian, prostate, and skin. The current review will discuss silymarin’s chemical components, total phenolic content, free radical scavenging capacities, and anti-cancer activities. -

Abstract: Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington’s disease (HD), are the most concerning disor- ders due to the lack of effective therapy and dramatic rise in affected cases. Although these disorders have diverse clinical manifestations, they all share a common cellular stress response. These cellular stress responses including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, proteotoxicity, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress, which combats with stress conditions. Environmental stress/toxicity weakened the cellular stress response which results in cell damage. Small molecules, such as flavonoids, could reduce cellular stress and have gained much attention in recent years. Evidence has shown the poten- tial use of flavonoids in several ways, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic, yet their mechanism is still elusive. This review provides an insight into the potential role of flavonoids against cellular stress response that prevent the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. -

Data collected from 230 local residents of the study area were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation and linear regression. The results show that rural tourism has been able to play an effective role in sustainable livelihoods of people and there is a significant relationship between the development of rural tourism and sustainable livelihoods in Lavij. Rural tourism can predict a high percentage of changes in people’s livelihoods sustainability. Therefore, with a proper planning, rural tourism can be used to development of sustainable livelihoods, quality of people's lives, job opportunities and poverty reduction.

Received: 4 June 2018; Accepted: 26 June 2018; Published: 28 June 2018 Abstract: Zizania latifolia (tribe Oryzeae Dum., subfamily Oryzoideae Care, family Gramineae) is native to East Asian countries. The seeds of Z. latifolia (Chinese wild rice) have been consumed as a cereal in China for >3000 years. Z. latifolia forms swollen culms when infected with Ustilago esculenta, which is the second most-cultivated aquatic vegetable in China. The current review summarizes the nutrients and bioactive compounds of Z. latifolia, and health benefits of its seeds. The seeds of Z. latifolia contain proteins, minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds, the activities of which—for example, antioxidant activity—have been characterized. Various health benefits are associated with their consumption, such as alleviation of insulin resistance and lipotoxicity, and protection against cardiovascular disease. Chinese wild rice may be used to prevent and treat metabolic disease, such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases.
