Abstract

Introduction Reducing neonatal deaths in premature infants in low- and middle-income countries is key to reducing global neonatal mortality. International neonatal networks, along with patient registries of premature infants, have contributed to improving the quality of neonatal care; however, the involvement of low-to-middle-income countries was limited. This project aims to form an international collaboration among neonatal networks in Asia (AsianNeo), including low-, middle- and high-income countries (or regions). Specifically, it aims to determine outcomes in sick newborn infants, especially very low birth weight (VLBW) infants or very preterm infants, with a view to improving the quality of care for such infants.Methods and analysis Currently, AsianNeo comprises nine neonatal networks from Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and Thailand. AsianNeo will undertake the following four studies: (1) institutional questionnaire surveys investigating neonatal intensive care unit resources and the clinical management of sick newborn infants, with a focus on VLBW infants (nine countries/regions); (2) a retrospective cohort study to describe and compare the outcomes of VLBW infants among Asian countries and regions (four countries/regions); (3) a prospective cohort study to develop the AsianNeo registry of VLBW infants (six countries/regions); and (4) implementation and evaluation of educational and quality improvement projects in AsianNeo countries and regions (nine countries/regions).Ethics and dissemination The study protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Board of the National Center for Child Health and Development, Tokyo, Japan (reference number 2020–244, 2022–156). The study findings will be disseminated through educational programmes, quality improvement activities, conference presentations and medical journal publications.

Abstract

This volume is a selection of papers read at the fourth international conference of the Society of Historical English Language and Linguistics (SHELL) held at Keio University, Tokyo, in 2012. The first conference was at Chiba University (Japan) back in 2005, the second at Nagoya University (Japan) in 2007, the third at Hiroshima University (Japan) in 2009. The volume consists of four plenary papers in part one, of six papers read in two symposia in part two, and individual papers on Old, Middle, Modern, American English with some diachronic studies in part three. Papers discuss syntax, lexicology, semantics, paleography, literary criticism, etc., in various historical periods of English, on the basis of both theoretical and philological studies, as the Society has aimed at the reunion of these approaches from its establishment.

Abstract

The effects of allyl, sulfur and cyanogenic compounds on the germination of upper cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) seeds were examined. Mercaptoethanol and methylmercaptan as well as KCN, substrates for pcyanoalanine synthase (CAS), and H2S and thiocyanate, the products of the CAS catalyzing reaction, were effective in promoting germination, suggesting the involvement of CAS in germination. Most of allyl compounds, especially allylthiourea, as well as ethylene which activated CAS [Hasegawa et al. (1994) Physiol. Plant. 91: 141], promoted the germination in an abnormal type which occurred by the predominant growth of cotyledons as did C2H4 [Katoh and Esashi (1975) Plant Cell Physiol. 16: 687]. However, they failed to activate CAS unlike ethylene, and to liberate free ethylene during an incubation period. It was thus possible that an C2H4-like double bond within allyl compounds can act to promote seed germination.

15. Involvement of cyanogens in the promotion of germination of cocklebur seeds in response to various nitrogenous compounds, inhibitors of respiratory and ethylene

Abstract

Nitrogenous inhibitors of respiration, namely, KCN, NaN3 and NH2OH, which promote the germination of cocklebur {Xanthium pennsylvaniicum Wallr.) seeds, enhanced the accumulation of cyanogenic compounds. Urea and cyanamide, which were ineffective, did not. Part of the exogenously applied KCN was converted to cyanogenic glycosides and lipids, but these compounds were only produced at low levels in NaN3-treated seeds. Exposure to NH2OH caused a slight accumulation of both types of cyanogenic compounds. Thiourea, effective in stimulating germination, did not increase the cyanogenic compounds, which suggests that the mechanism of its effect on germination is different from that of other nitrogenous compounds. Thiocyanate had a slightly promotive effect and caused minor increases in the levels of cyanogenic compounds. Ethylene increased the metabolic utilization of the accumulated cyanogens in response to KCN or NaN3. The response to ethylene of seeds in secondary dormancy was restored only after pre-treatment with KCN or NaN3. The response occurred once the level of cyanogens had increased. By contrast, enhancement of the effects of KCN and NaN3 on germination by propyl gallate or benzohydroxamate, inhibitors of CN-resistant respiration, was accompanied by the increased accumulation of cyanogens within the seeds that had been exposed to KCN or NaN3 in combination with the other types of respiratory inhibitors. Thus, it is suggested that endogenous cyanogens might be involved in the germination of cocklebur seeds.
