Thérèse Raquin d’Émile Zola : la notion de tempérament entre l’héritage antique et l’apport de la physiologie du XIXe siècle

Anna Kaczmarek-Wiśniewska

Studia Romanica Posnaniensia > 2020 > 47 > 4 > 91-100

Therese Raquin, Zola’s first important work, is based on the modern version of the old physiological theory of “temperaments”, e.g. the combination of four cardinal “humours” that determine a man’s physical and mental constitution. Through the story of two murderers, an adulterous woman and her lover who kill the woman’s husband, the author shows the mutual influence of two temperaments considered...

Cabanis: między medycyną, rewolucją i filozofią

Tomasz Chomiszczak

Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne. Seria Literacka > 2018 > 34 > 223-243

The article is concerned with quite forgotten character and work of Pierre Jean Georges Cabanis, a physician and philosopher, but also a strong supporter of the French Revolution from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. His main scientific opus was the dissertation On the relations between the physical and moral aspects of man (Rapports du physique et du moral de l’homme) first published in 1802...

Pierre Cabanis – entre la science du vivant et la science de l’homme

Mirosław Loba

Studia Romanica Posnaniensia > 2017 > 44 > 4 > 35-43

The main goal of the study is to show the novelty of Cabanis’s project. As a scientist, doctor and philosopher, the author of Rapports du physique et du moral de l’homme attempts to find a new science called anthropology, based mostly on physiology. There is also a discussion of how sensations are transformed (“translated”) into signs and ideas. In his dream of progress of human society, Cabanis has...

Lingua Erazma z Rotterdamu między fizjologią, filozofią i filologią

Justyna Dąbkowska-Kujko

Poznańskie Studia Polonistyczne. Seria Literacka > 2017 > 31 > 129-146

The article entitled “Lingua by Erasmus of Rotterdam – between physiology, philosophy and philology” is devoted to the treatise “Lingua, Sive, De Linguae usu atque abusu Liber utillissimus” which was originally published in 1525, while in an anonymous Old Polish translation it first appeared in 1542. It represents one of the most important voices in then Europe on the role of language in international...

Inhibition of Human Group IIA-Secreted Phospholipase A₂ and THP-1 Monocyte Recruitment by Maslinic Acid

Wei Hsum Yap, Nafees Ahmed, Yang Mooi Lim

Lipids > 2016 > 51 > 10 > 1153-1159

Maslinic acid is a natural pentacyclic triterpenoid which has anti-inflammatory properties. A recent study showed that secretory phospholipase A₂ (sPLA₂) may be a potential binding target of maslinic acid. The human group IIA (hGIIA)-sPLA₂ is found in human sera and their levels are correlated with severity of inflammation. This study aims to determine whether maslinic acid interacts with hGIIA-sPLA...

Ahmed M. Adlan, Gregory Y.H. Lip, Julian F.R. Paton, George D. Kitas, more

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism > 2014 > 44 > 3 > 283-304

Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition with increased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Accumulating evidence indicates that the immune and autonomic nervous systems (ANS) are major contributors to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. We performed the first systematic literature review to determine the prevalence and nature of ANS dysfunction in RA and...

Male moths optimally balance take-off thoracic temperature and warm-up duration to reach a pheromone source quickly

José G. Crespo, Neil J. Vickers, Franz Goller, J.G. Crespo, more

Animal Behaviour > 2014 > 98 > Complete > 79-85

Animal activities, such as foraging and reproduction, are constrained by decisions about how to allocate energy and time efficiently. Overall, male moths invest less in reproduction than females, but they are thought to engage in a scramble competition for access to females that advertise readiness to mate by releasing sexual pheromones. However, before male moths can follow the pheromone, they often...

The myriad essential roles of microRNAs in cardiovascular homeostasis and disease

Ronald L. Neppl, Da-Zhi Wang, R.L. Neppl, D.Z. Wang

Genes & Diseases > 2014 > 1 > 1 > 18-39

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease accounts for approximately 30% of all deaths in the United States, and is the worldwide leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Over the last several years, microRNAs have emerged as critical regulators of physiological homeostasis in multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. The focus of this review is to provide...

Allelopathic potential of Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. monilifera (boneseed): A novel weapon in the invasion processes

Md. Abdullah Yousuf Al Harun, Randall W. Robinson, Joshua Johnson, Md. Nazim Uddin, more

South African Journal of Botany > 2014 > 93 > Complete > 157-166

Natural ecosystems and primary production industries are threatened by invasive plant species, and allelopathy is one of the attributes that may assist in the invasion process. We studied the allelopathic potentiality of Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. monilifera (boneseed), one of the seven priority weeds identified for the development of predictive modeling in the world. A series of bioassays...

Roles of collateral arterial flow and ischemic preconditioning in protection of acutely ischemic myocardium

Robert B. Jennings, Galen S. Wagner, R.B. Jennings, G.S. Wagner

Journal of Electrocardiology > 2014 > 47 > 4 > 491-499

The extent and rate at which necrosis develops in experimental acute myocardial infarction in the dog heart is presented together with an analysis of the role played by protective mechanisms in myocyte death. Preconditioning with ischemia delays but does not prevent myocyte death. Arterial collateral flows exceeding 30% of control flow essentially prevent myocyte death, while lesser amounts of collateral...

Assessment of concentrations and effects of organohalogen contaminants in a terrestrial passerine, the European starling

Margaret L. Eng, Tony D. Williams, Robert J. Letcher, John E. Elliott, more

Science of the Total Environment > 2014 > 473-474 > Complete > 589-596

European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) are a valuable model species for the assessment of concentrations and effects of environmental contaminants in terrestrial birds. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are found in birds throughout the world, but relatively little is known of their concentrations or effects in free-living terrestrial passerines. We used a nest box population of European starlings...

A family of serine protease inhibitors (serpins) in the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus

Lucas Tirloni, Adriana Seixas, Albert Mulenga, Itabajara da Silva Vaz, more

Experimental Parasitology > 2014 > 137 > Complete > 25-34

Proteins belonging to the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily play essential roles in many organisms. In arthropods these proteins are involved in innate immune system, morphogenesis and development. In mammals serpins regulate pathways that are essential to life such as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, inflammation and complement activation, some of which are considered the host’s first...

Chemosignals, hormones and mammalian reproduction

Aras Petrulis, A. Petrulis

Hormones and Behavior > 2013 > 63 > 5 > 723-741

Many mammalian species use chemosignals to coordinate reproduction by altering the physiology and behavior of both sexes. Chemosignals prime reproductive physiology so that individuals become sexually mature and active at times when mating is most probable and suppress it when it is not. Once in reproductive condition, odors produced and deposited by both males and females are used to find and select...

Dynamic autonomic nervous system states arise during emotions and manifest in basal physiology

Lorenzo Pasquini, Fatemeh Noohi, Christina R. Veziris, Eena L. Kosik, more

Psychophysiology > 60 > 4 > n/a - n/a

The outflow of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is continuous and dynamic, but its functional organization is not well understood. Whether ANS patterns accompany emotions, or arise in basal physiology, remain unsettled questions in the field. Here, we searched for brief ANS patterns amidst continuous, multichannel physiological recordings in 45 healthy older adults. Participants completed an emotional...

The trace metal economy of the coral holobiont: supplies, demands and exchanges

Hannah G. Reich, Emma F. Camp, Liza M. Roger, Hollie M. Putnam

Biological Reviews > 98 > 2 > 623 - 642

The juxtaposition of highly productive coral reef ecosystems in oligotrophic waters has spurred substantial interest and progress in our understanding of macronutrient uptake, exchange, and recycling among coral holobiont partners (host coral, dinoflagellate endosymbiont, endolithic algae, fungi, viruses, bacterial communities). By contrast, the contribution of trace metals to the physiological performance...

José Cristian Vidal‐Quist, Jozefien Declercq, Stijn Vanhee, Bart N Lambrecht, more

Insect Molecular Biology > 32 > 2 > 173 - 186

RNA viruses have recently been detected in association with house dust mites, including laboratory cultures, dust samples, and mite‐derived pharmaceuticals used for allergy diagnosis. This study aimed to assess the incidence of viral infection on Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus physiology and on the allergenic performance of extracts derived from its culture. Transcriptional changes between genetically...

Sex roles and sex ratios in animals

Peter M. Kappeler, Sarah Benhaiem, Claudia Fichtel, Lutz Fromhage, more

Biological Reviews > 98 > 2 > 462 - 480

In species with separate sexes, females and males often differ in their morphology, physiology and behaviour. Such sex‐specific traits are functionally linked to variation in reproductive competition, mate choice and parental care, which have all been linked to sex roles. At the 150th anniversary of Darwin's theory on sexual selection, the question of why patterns of sex roles vary within and across...

Evaluating individual biomarkers for predicting health risks in zoo‐housed chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (Pan paniscus)

Ashley N. Edes, Janine L. Brown, Katie L. Edwards

American Journal of Primatology > 85 > 3 > n/a - n/a

Although biomarkers are often used for predicting morbidity and mortality in humans, similar data are lacking in our closest relatives. This study analyzed 16 biomarkers in zoo‐housed chimpanzees and bonobos from serum samples collected during both routine and nonroutine veterinary immobilizations. Generalized linear and generalized linear mixed models were used to determine the efficacy of each biomarker...

Going broad and deep: sequencing‐driven insights into plant physiology, evolution, and crop domestication

Songtao Gui, Felix Juan Martinez‐Rivas, Weiwei Wen, Minghui Meng, more

The Plant Journal > 113 > 3 > 446 - 459

Deep sequencing is a term that has become embedded in the plant genomic literature in recent years and with good reason. A torrent of (largely) high‐quality genomic and transcriptomic data has been collected and most of this has been publicly released. Indeed, almost 1000 plant genomes have been reported (www.plabipd.de) and the 2000 Plant Transcriptomes Project has long been completed. The EarthBioGenome...

Physiological and molecular sex differences in human skeletal muscle in response to exercise training

Shanie Landen, Danielle Hiam, Sarah Voisin, Macsue Jacques, more

The Journal of Physiology > 601 > 3 > 419 - 434

Sex differences in exercise physiology, such as substrate metabolism and skeletal muscle fatigability, stem from inherent biological factors, including endogenous hormones and genetics. Studies investigating exercise physiology frequently include only males or do not take sex differences into consideration. Although there is still an underrepresentation of female participants in exercise research,...
