The rust red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum （Herbst, 1797）（Coleoptera： Tenebrionidae）, is a pest of stored grain and one of the most studied insect model species. Some of the previous studies involved heat response studies in terms of survival and heat shock protein expression, which are regulated to protect other proteins against environ- mental stress conditions. In the present study, we characterize the impedance profile with the xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analyzer and study the effect of increased temperature in cell growth and viability in the cell line BCIRL-TcA-CLG 1 （TcA） of T castaneum. This novel system measures cells behavior in real time and is applied for the first time to insect cells. Additionally, cells are exposed to heat shock, increased salinity, acidic pH and UV-A light with the aim of measuring the expression levels of lisp27, Hsp68a, and Hsp83 genes. Results show a high thermotolerance of TeA in terms of cell growth and viability. This result is likely related to gene expression results in which a significant up-regulation of all studied Hsp genes is observed after 1 h of exposure to 40 ~C and UV light. All 3 genes show similar expression patterns, but Hsp27 seems to be the most affected. The results of this study validate the RTCA method and reveal the utility of insect cell lines, real-time analysis and gene expression studies to better understand the physiological response of insect cells, with potential applications in different fields of biology such as conservation biology and pest management.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is the sixth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide(1).Unfortunately,the incidence and mortality of HCC are increasing steadily in formerly low-risk countries(2).Although the contribution of patients infected with hepatitis B virus(HBV)and hepatitis C virus(HCV)has dramatically decreased due to the use of highly effective antiviral agents,increasing epidemiologic evidence indicates a link between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and the risk of HCC(1).It is important to highlight that the prevalence of NAFLD has increased in parallel with the obesity,metabolic syndrome,and type 2 diabetes mellitus *** patients with NAFLD,the incidence of HCC is around 0.44 per 1,000 person-years(3).

Monomorphic birds cannot be sexed visually and discriminant functions on the basis of external morphological variations are frequently used. Our objective was to evaluate the reliability of sex classification functions created from structural measurements of Chilean flamingos Phoenicopterus chilensis museum skins for the gender assignment of live birds. Five measurements were used to develop four discriminant functions: culmen, bill height and width, tarsus length and middle toe claw. The functions were tested on a sample of live flamingos from a zoo. The best classification for museum flamingos was given by a function using tarsus length, bill width and middle toe claw (97%). However, this function did not give the best classification for the zoo-based flamingos (81%) which had the best sex assignment by a function including measurements of tarsus, culmen and bill height and width (85%). This shows that a function giving good results in the sample from which it originated may not be as good when applied to another group of animals. Our study emphasizes the need for assessing the accuracy of a function by testing it with other methods to ensure its suitability when being applied [Current Zoology 59 (6): 851-855, 2012].

The purpose of this review is to present evidence that the lumen of the coronary vascular endothelium is an important site of hormonal action. This review is based on work performed for the last eight years in our laboratories. To demonstrate that selective and exclusive activation or blockade of coronary luminal hormonal receptors is feasible, we have covalently bound to microbeads or large size dextrans (2000 kDa) several hormones or their receptor blockers. These large molecular complexes when administered intravascularly because of their size, remain confined to the blood vessel lumen. The cardiac effects of these large size complexes are identical to those induced by their small size counterparts. The hormones we have used are; adenosine, acetylcholine, bradykinin, substance P, testosterone, and vasopressin. Furthermore, we have also determined the endothelial mediators responsible for the cardiac effects of these hormones. These findings demonstrate that intravascular hormone receptors are indeed

Mineral dissemination and pore space distribution in ore particles are important features that influence heap leaching performance. To quantify the mineral dissemination and pore space distribution of an ore particle, a cylindrical copper oxide ore sample (I center dot 4.6 mm x 5.6 mm) was scanned using high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT), a nondestructive imaging technology, at a spatial resolution of 4.85 mu m. Combined with three-dimensional (3D) image analysis techniques, the main mineral phases and pore space were segmented and the volume fraction of each phase was calculated. In addition, the mass fraction of each mineral phase was estimated and the result was validated with that obtained using traditional techniques. Furthermore, the pore phase features, including the pore size distribution, pore surface area, pore fractal dimension, pore centerline, and the pore connectivity, were investigated quantitatively. The pore space analysis results indicate that the pore size distribution closely fits a log-normal distribution and that the pore space morphology is complicated, with a large surface area and low connectivity. This study demonstrates that the combination of HRXCT and 3D image analysis is an effective tool for acquiring 3D mineralogical and pore structural data.
