Effect of Low Salinity on Growth and Survival of Postlarvae and Juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei
JOURNAL OF THE WORLD AQUACULTURE SOCIETY, Issue 4 2001
Susan Laramore
The effect of low salinity on survival and growth of the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was examined in the laboratory due to the interest of raising shrimp inland at low salinities.
In three separate experiments, individual L. vannamei postlarvae (, 0.1 g) were cultured at salinities of either 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, or 3 ppt (N= 5 or 10/treatment) for 18 to 40 d at 30 C in individual 360-mL containers.
In each experiment controls of 0 and 30 ppt were run.
There was no postlarval survival at salinities < 2 ppt.
Survival was significantly different (P < 0.01) at 2 ppt (20%) compared to 30 ppt (80%).
Growth was also significantly different (P < 0.01) at 2 and 3 ppt compared to 30 ppt (416%, 475%, and 670%, respectively).
A fourth experiment compared juveniles (, 8 g) and postlarvae (, 0.05 and 0.35 g).
Shrimp were cultured at salinities of 0, 2, 4, and 30 ppt for 40 d at 25 C, in individual 360-mL and 6-L containers (N= 7/treatment).
There was no postlarval survival at < 2 ppt.
Postlarval survival at 4 ppt (86%) was not significantly different (P > 0.05) from 30 ppt (100%).
Juveniles exhibited better survival at lower salinities (100% at 2 ppt) than 0.05 and 0.35 g postlarvae (29% and 14% respectively, at 2 ppt).
The effects of salinity on growth varied with sizdage.
Final growth of 0.05 g postlarvae at 2 ppt (693%) was significantly less (P < 0.01) than at 4 ppt (1085%) and 30 ppt (1064%).
Growth of 0.35 g postlarvae was significantly less (P < 0.01) for 4 ppt (175%) than for 30 ppt (264%).
There was no growth data for juveniles (8 g).
It appears from these experiments that the culture of L. vannamei poses risks when performed in salinities less than 2 ppt.

PARTIAL REGRESSION OF DUODENAL LESIONS OF INTESTINAL FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA AFTER ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT
DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY, Issue 4 2010
Tomonori Yaguchi
A 51-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of duodenal lesions of lymphoma.
Endoscopy showed multiple tiny smooth whitish granules in the second portion of the duodenum including the papilla of Vater.
Biopsy specimens showed medium-sized centrocyte-like cells forming lymphoid follicles, and immunohistology showed positive staining for bcl-2 and CD10.
A small bowel series showed multiple granular lesions extending from the second portion of the duodenum to the proximal jejunum and the proximal ileum.
On the basis of these findings, the tumor was diagnosed as stage I follicular lymphoma (FL).
Although the patient was negative for Helicobacter pylori, he underwent antibiotic treatment.
The lesions improved 3 months after antibiotic treatment, but biopsy specimens showed residual lymphoma cells.
The patient therefore received combination chemotherapy with rituximab.
Endoscopy 4 months later showed regression of FL, and there was no evidence of recurrence during 3 years of follow up.
The partial regression of duodenal lesions of intestinal FL may be due to the effect of antibiotic treatment.

CURRENT STATUS IN THE OCCURRENCE OF POSTOPERATIVE BLEEDING, PERFORATION AND RESIDUAL/LOCAL RECURRENCE DURING COLONOSCOPIC TREATMENT IN JAPAN
DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY, Issue 4 2010
Shiro Oka
Bleeding, perforation, and residual/local recurrence are the main complications associated with colonoscopic treatment of colorectal tumor.
However, current status regarding the average incidence of these complications in Japan is not available.
We conducted a questionnaire survey, prepared by the Colorectal Endoscopic Resection Standardization Implementation Working Group, Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR), to clarify the incidence of postoperative bleeding, perforation, and residual/local recurrence associated with colonoscopic treatment.
The total incidence of postoperative bleeding was 1.2% and the incidence was 0.26% with hot biopsy, 1.3% with polypectomy, 1.4% with endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), and 1.7% with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
The total incidence of perforation was 0.74% (0.01% with the hot biopsy, 0.17% with polypectomy, 0.91% with EMR, and 3.3% with ESD).
The total incidence of residual/local recurrence was 0.73% (0.007% with hot biopsy, 0.34% with polypectomy, 1.4% with EMR, and 2.3% with ESD).
Colonoscopic examination was used as a surveillance method for detecting residual/local recurrence in all hospitals.
The surveillance period differed among the hospitals; however, most of the hospitals reported a surveillance period of 3,6 months with mainly transabdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography in combination with the colonoscopic examination.

BLUE RUBBER BLEB NEVUS SYNDROME: TREATMENT OF MULTIPLE GASTROINTESTINAL HEMANGIOMAS WITH ARGON PLASMA COAGULATOR
DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY, Issue 1 2009
Enders K.W. Ng
Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterized by the formation of multiple blue or purplish rubbery cavernous hemangiomas on the skin and other epithelial surfaces.
Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is common and often presents with crippling anemia as a result of chronic occult blood loss.
While surgical extirpation is an option for symptomatic hemangiomas in the intestine, endoscopic therapy is more appealing for lesions found in the stomach and colon.
Here we report the successful use of argon plasma coagulation in the management of an adult with multiple hemangiomas in her colon and terminal ileum.

GASTRIC FUNDIC VARICES: HEMODYNAMICS AND NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT
DIGESTIVE ENDOSCOPY, Issue 3 2005
Seishu Hayashi
The hemodynamics and non-surgical treatment of gastric fundic varices (FV) are reviewed.
FV are more frequently supplied by the short and posterior gastric veins than esophageal varices (EV), and are formed mostly by large spontaneous shunts in which the gastric or splenic vein is continuous with the left renal vein via the inferior phrenic veins and the suprarenal vein (so-called gastric-renal shunt).
Concomitant collaterals such as EV, para-esophageal vein, and para-umbilical vein were also observed in nearly 60% of FV.
Endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) with Histoacryl is thought to be the most approved treatment for hemorrhage from FV, but repeated treatment for residual FV and care for ensuing hepatic failure are required.
Balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (B-RTO) is a notable interventional radiological procedure specially developed for the elective or prophylactic treatment of FV.
If the procedure is technically successful, long-term eradication of treated FV is found in most patients without recurrence.
B-RTO includes another significance, obliteration of the unified portal-systemic shunt.
Follow-up abdominal CT scan revealed a high incidence of long-term obliteration of the gastric-renal shunt after B-RTO.
Benefits such as elevation of serum albumin, improvement in 15-min retention rate of indocyanine green, decrease in blood ammonia levels, and improvement of encephalopathy are sometimes observed.

REAL OPTIONS AND PATENT DAMAGES: THE LEGAL TREATMENT OF NON-INFRINGING ALTERNATIVES, AND INCENTIVES TO INNOVATE
JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC SURVEYS, Issue 4 2006
Jerry Hausman
Abstract Patent litigation has become an increasingly important consideration in business strategy.
Damage awards in patent litigation are supposed to compensate the patent owner for economic harm created by infringement and are therefore important for protecting returns to innovation.
We analyze the effects that a recent court decision in the United States, called Grain Processing, has had on the incentives of potential infringers to infringe and innovators to innovate.
We find that Grain Processing has decreased the expected value of damages awards in patent cases by conferring a ,free option' on infringers.
Grain Processing also concluded that the patent owner in the case did not suffer lost profits due to the infringement because the infringer would have adopted an (inferior) non-infringing technology had it not infringed.
We demonstrate that this conclusion is inconsistent with standard economic models.

EFFECT OF HIGH PRESSURE TREATMENT ON CYTOPLASMIC 5,-NUCLEOTIDASE FROM RABBIT SKELETAL MUSCLE
JOURNAL OF FOOD BIOCHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2007
SUNAO MORI
ABSTRACT
We investigated the effect of high-pressure treatment on the properties of cytoplasmic 5, -nucleotidase (NT), which converts inosine monophosphate (IMP) into inosine.
After pressure treatment at 400 MPa, the activity of purified IMP-NT remained at almost 100%, but the activity of partially purified adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-NT decreased to about 40%.
These data suggest that there is a difference in the pressure stability between the enzymes.
In situ fluorescence spectroscopy of IMP-NT under pressure showed that its pressure-induced denaturation was reversible.
When the pressure was reduced from the highest pressure to ambient pressure, hysteresis was observed.
This suggests that high pressure treatment may lead to a partial change in the affinity of the subunits for each other once they have dissociated.
The activities of IMP-NT and AMP-NT extracted from pressure-treated muscles decreased remarkably between 250 and 450 MPa, but IMP-NT was more stable than AMP-NT.

EFFECT OF HIGH-PRESSURE TREATMENT OF MILK ON LIPASE AND ,-GLUTAMYL TRANSFERASE ACTIVITY
JOURNAL OF FOOD BIOCHEMISTRY, Issue 6 2004
P. K. PANDEY
ABSTRACT
High-pressure (HP) treatment (0,180 min at 300,400 MPa) was applied to milk to evaluate the pressure effects on the activities of lipoprotein lipase and ,-glutamyl transferase.
Short time pressure exposure resulted in some enhancement in the activity of both enzymes, and for lipase, there was no inactivation during the entire pressure hold time (up to 100 min).
With ,-glutamyl transferase, the extent of enhancement in activity was pressure level dependent, with lower pressure resulting in a greater enhancement.
Furthermore, longer pressure treatment times resulted in inactivation of ,-glutamyl transferase, following a first order kinetic model.
The pressure sensitivity of the inactivation parameters (k and D -values) for ,-glutamyl transferase was adequately described by the pressure death time and Arrhenius models with a zpof 543 MPa and an associated volume of activation, ,V,, of ,3.28 × 10,8 m3/mole.

CYSTATIN ACCUMULATION IN TOMATO LEAVES AFTER METHYL JASMONATE TREATMENT OR MECHANICAL INJURY
JOURNAL OF FOOD BIOCHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2002
JU WEN WU
The elicitation of cystatin accumulation in tomato leaves was studied with mature and seedling cv. Bonnie Best.
Repetitive mechanical injury (MI) or methyl jasmonate (MJ) treatment of seedlings elicited plentiful cystatin accumulation in the leaves when plants were held at 30C under continuous lighting.
Cystatin accumulation in leaves of MI seedlings decreased by 50% when incubated at a reduced light period of 12 h light/day.
Cystatin accumulation in MJ treated plants was not influenced by reducing the light period from 24 h to 12 h/day.
Cystatin accumulation after MJ treatment was optimal at 35C and negligible at 40C.
At ambient field conditions (I8,33C), MJ treated seedlings still accumulated a significant amount of cystatin; however, very little cystatin accumulated in leaves of MI seedlings under these conditions of lower temperature and light exposure.
The leaves of mature plants accumulated less cystatin after MJ or MI treatment than did those of seedlings.

TREATMENT OF CULTIVATED HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRIES (VACCINIUM CORYMBOSUM L.) WITH ELECTRON BEAM IRRADIATION: DOSIMETRY AND PRODUCT QUALITY
JOURNAL OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING, Issue 2 2008
M.A. MORENO
ABSTRACT
We determined the dose distribution within a tray of highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) exposed to electron beam irradiation at medium levels (1.0,3.2 kGy) using Monte Carlo and computer tomography scanning technology.
We also evaluated the quality of irradiated and nonirradiated (control) fruits stored at 5C and 70% relative humidity during 14 days by a series of chemical analyses.
Blueberries packed in plastic clamshell containers (trays) were irradiated using a 10-MeV linear accelerator with single-beam fixture (top only).
Irradiation of blueberries at 1.1 kGy had no significant (P > 0.05) effect on the fruit quality with the exception of ascorbic acid, which decreased by 17% by the end of storage.
Irradiation had an enhancing effect on the total phenolic and tannin content of all the irradiated fruits (10,20% increases).
The calculated dose distribution in a pack of blueberries confirmed that the dose is not uniformly distributed within the pack because of density inhomogeneities (flesh, skin air).
Dose levels at the bottom of the trays were 18 (±8%) higher than at the top.
These results suggest that careful dose distribution examination must be conducted prior to setting up of an irradiation run for the packed fruits.
Excellent agreement was found between measured and calculated doses at different electron beam conveyor speeds.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Little information is available on how electron beam irradiation penetrates a complex medium such as packed blueberries.
This study presents unique results from a dose distribution calculation method using Monte Carlo simulation and computed tomography scanning techniques, which can be an effective tool for the development of proper irradiation treatment planning of packed fruits and other fresh produce.
The suitability of using electron beam technology to preserve the quality characteristics and shelf life of packed blueberries was verified.
