Summary: 5-azacytidine enhanced the differentiation of myotubes and
cartillage in comparison to control if added only once during the culture
period. The differentiation of neuroblasts as well as other tissues was
impeded if 5-azacytidine was applied during first five days of culture. The
demethylating agens 5-azacytidine acted antimitotically and citotoxically
on rat embryos cultured in vitro during 14 days.

Summary: 9 days old rat embryo was cultivated for 7 or 14 days in
vitro and grafted under the kidney capsule for two weeks. The
differentiation of skeletal muscle was better after shorter period of
cultivation. The addition of albumine, 5-azacytidine or db cAMP to culture
medium improved myogenesis in vitro. Retinoic acid did not show any
influence and transferrin inhibited myogenesis in vitro.

Summary: The expression of Rb protein in SCID mouse embryos and
human embryos was studied at the single cell level by immunofluorescence.
The difference in expression of Rb protein, dependent of the cell type and
the degree of differentiation was discovered. Eg. in mouse Rb was present
in differentiated squamous epithelial cells, but it was absent from the
basal cell layers. In retina the expression was also dependent of the
degree of differentiation. The highest level of expression was found in
megakaryocytis, hemopoetic islands and sceletal muscle. In human embryos no
expression was found in retina.

Summary: This review and synthesis brings to attention and arouses
medical awareness in the neuroteratogenic potential of the sea food
contaminant and sea pollutant - methylmercury. It summarizes the chronology
of events during the well-documented toxic episode in the Bay of Minamata,
contemporary understanding of some of the known toxic and teratogenic
mechanisms of Minamata Disease, and its occurence in the Mediterranean Sea
water. Ecological processes and trends in the Adriatic Sea will be
evaluated as the substrate for the potential threat from methylmercury
build-up in the sea to human health in the Adriatic region. The child's
right to life and right to health was denied in Minamata Bay under
circumstances when its, and its mother's right of life in a healthy
enviroment was abused by organic mercury pollution of the sea.

Summary: Rat egg cylinders at the primitive streak stage were grown
in modified organ culture for 2 weeks using a chemically-difined medium.
The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether the terminal tissue
differentiation is modified by human transferrin. The control sets were
grown in medium with or without rat serum. In explants treated with
transferrin, groups of atypical cells of the ocular lens (lentoids)
appeared more frequently than in both control sets; however neuroblasts
were observed as often as in the serum-supplemented medium. Bovine serum
albumin (BSA) stimulated the differentiation of neuroblasts but did not
promote lentoid formation. We conclude that human transferrin does
stimulate the differentiation of lentoids in rat embryonic explants, but
the mechanism of its action remains unknown.

Summary: Permaculture is a word coined by its founder, the forester
Bill Mollison, and is composed of PERMAnent agriCULTURE. Permaculture
represents the design system which is the alternative to the present day
agriculture. It is inspired by the ecosystems, the natural communities of
plants and animals, as best represented in forests. It is about desingning
the food producing ecosystems based on the polyculture design, as opposed
to the presently accepted monoculture technologies. The goal is to use the
power of the human brain in designing the landscape and crops as to
minimize the needs for human work and energy from oil derivatives. The
ethics of permaculture can best be summarized in terms of the following
three entities: Earth care, People care and Fair shares. Earth care is
about enlightened interest for our own survival, for preservation of the
remaining wilderness and biodiversity on Eart, as the life support system
crucial for human survival. People care is about search for intelligent
creation in designing cities for real human needs. The Fair shares that we
are entitled to are necessary because the Earth has its limits. We have to
learn to adjust our consumption according to our needs, and not according
to our greed. We have to learn to leave survival space for other species,
enough food and natural resources for the poor people of the world and
unpolluted Earth for the future generations. We have to learn fast to use
only our fair shares.

Summary: Origin and destiny of all the cells which are generated
presently are closely related to cell division. All the cells are generated
by division of their progenitor cells, and concequently they will cease to
exist as entities in the moment of their division into the daughter cells.
The cell cycle describes the temporal sequence of events, changes, control,
and regulatory mechanisms, which bring about, for example, a birth of a new
human being. The cell cycle, however, when out of control of the known
regulatroy mechanisms of intercellular communications, can endanger the
life of this very individual by the frequent divisions leading to malignant
transformation. The cell cycle is under regulation in embryonic cells, as
well as in the adult ones, by the wide array of protein factors. A series
of these proteins is already described, and their role is partially
understood, as well as their malfunctions which cause malignant growth.

Summary: The influence of RA and db cAMP was investigated in
modified organ culture of rat and mouse embryos in a critical stage of
postimplantation development during gastrulation. In this model which is
closer to in vivo condition than the culture of dissociated cells, the
results showed that RA does not influence myogenesis neither in rat nor
mouse. db cAMP during the second week of culture, the incidence of myotubes
in rat as well as in mouse embryo was enhanced.

oil plants, burnin of forests, polution of rivers, destruction of Croatian
cultural identity and Mediterranean natural resources. Of all the human
activities which are harmful for the enviroment, war is the worst of all.
This unbeliveable war we have been exposed to, paid in Croatia no respect
for children, women or refugees; schools, hospitals or churches. It does
not care for the Earth and knows nothing about sustainable living. It paid
no respect to the World Heritage Sites in Croatia either. All the World

Summary: Milislav Demerec was born in Kostajnica on January 11,
1895, in the family of Ljudevit and Ljubica Demerec. He studied at the
Agricultural School (Više gospodarsko učilište) in Križevci. In the year
1919 he started with the genetical studies of maize at Cornell University
under the leadership of prof. R.A. Emerson. In 1923. Milislav Demerec
obtained his Ph. D. degree and joined the Department of Genetics, Carnegie
Institution of Washington in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. In 1941 he
became Director of the nearby Biological Laboratory of the Long Island
Biological Association, and in 1943 took up the Directorship of the
Department of Genetics, Carnegie Institution of Washington. The period from
1943 to 1960, when Dr. Demerec was dual director of both scientific
institutions in Cold Spring Harbor, is considered today to be "the golden
age of Demerec".

Summary: The expression pattera of the retinoblastoma (Rb) protein
has been studied at the single cell level in frozen sections of 16-18 days
old SCID mouse fetuses by immunoflourescence staining with mouse monoclonal
and rabbit polyclonal antibodics, using conventional epifluorescence and
confocal laser scanning microscopy. The nuclei of megakaryocytes,
hemopoetic islands of the fetal liver, osteo- amelo- and odontoblasts, and
skeletal muscle were strongly stained. There was no detectable Rb in the
basal cell layers of stratified squamous epithelia, but the
differentiating, more superficial layers were positive. In the retina Rb
protein was detectable in the inner ganglion layer but not in the outer
neuroblastic layer. In the central nervous system the Rb was expressed in
neurons and glia cells as well. The nuclei in the collecting tubules of the
kidney, in the pancreas and the adrenal cortex showed positive staining.
Analysis of the differentiation dependent expression of the Rb protein in
relation to the prospective life cycle of the cells in which it appears may
pave the way towards an understanding of the strictly tissue specific
oncogenic effect of Rb loss in families with hereditary retinoblastoma.

Summary: Growth in serum-free culture of postimplantation rat
embryos is absent, but after 14 days of cultivation the differentiation of
epidermis and cartilage occures. The addition of retinoic acid to a
serum-free medium causes the methaplasia of squamos to cylindrical
epithelium more obviously than in serum-supplemented medium. The addition
of transferin promotes the differentiation of lentoids. From these results
we conclude that our serum-free system has proved to be very good model for
investigation of various specific differentiation factors.

Summary: Changes in glycoprotein and ganglioside composition in
human trophoblasts (8th week of gestation) after in vitro exposure to
pulsed Doppler ultrasound (pulse duration 1.22 us; repetition frequency
11.1 KHz; center fequency 4 MHz; ISPPA=175.5 W/cm2; ISPTA=0.59 W/cm2) were
investigated. Evacuated trophoblasts were divided in two halves and
isonated for 10 min on top of a 6 cm layer of 5% gelatin in 50 ml tubes
(Falcon) at 37 C. One half of each trophoblast was sham insonated and
served as an internal control. After insonation trophoblasts were
maintained at 37 C for 24 h. Glycoproteins were detected using
alfa-D-mannose specific lectins from Galanthus nivalis and Narcissus
pseudonarcissus. A decrease in the expression of mannose containing
glycoprotein mgp47 and an increase in expression of mgp54 were observed.
Ganglioside composition was also significantly altered. Concentrations of
two gangliosides migrating similarly to GM2, and one similarly to
concentrations of one ganglioside migrating similarly to GM3, and two other
undentified gangliosedes increased two-to fourfold.

Summary: On the basis of theoretical consideration (Gally et al.,
1990), it has been proposed that nitric oxide (NO) is a spatial signal
necessary for the formation and activity-dependent refinement of
connections in the developing brain. Therefore, we have analysed
spatio-temporal distribution and morphology of nitric oxide synthase
histo-reactive (NOS hr) neurons in the developing rat forebrain. We have
used NADPH diaphorase histochemistry as a simple method for localization of
NOS. The first individual NOS hr neurons appeared relatively early between
embryonic day 13 and 14 and were confined to the ventro-lateral aspect of
incipient corpus stratum and cortical preplate. Later, after appearance of
the cortical plate NOS hr were located in the marginal and subplate zones.
Further during development, NOS hr neuron invaded progessively the cortical
plate in rostro-caudal and latero-medial directions. The adult cortical
pattern was established at the end of the first postnatal week with neurons
scattered in layers II-VI and in the subcortical white matter. These data
suggests a possible role for NO during the rat forebrain development.

Summary: 5-azacytidine enhanced the differentiation of myotubes and
cartillage in comparison to control if added only once during the culture
period. The differentiation of neuroblasts as well as other tissues was
impeded if 5-azacytidine was applied during first five days of culture. The
demethylating agens 5-azacytidine acted antimitotically on rat embryos
cultured in vitro durign 14 days.

Summary: 9 days old rat embryo was cultivated for 7 or 14 days in
vitro and grafted under the kidney capsule for two weeks. The
differentiation of skeletal muscle was better after shorter period of
cultivation. The addition of albumine, 5-azacytidine or db cAMP to culture
medium improved myogenesis in vitro. Retinoic acid did not show any
influence and transferrin inhibited myogenesis in vitro.

Summary: The expression of Rb protein in SCID mouse embryos and
human embryos was studied at the single cell level by immunofluorescence.
The difference in expression of Rb protein, dependent of the cell type and
the degree of differentiation was discovered. Eg. in mouse Rb was present
in differentiated squamous epithelial cells, but it was absent from the
basal cell layers. In retina the expression was also dependent of the
degree of differentiation. The highest level of expression was found in
megakaryocytis, hemopoetic islands and sceletal muscle. In human embryos no
expression was found in retina.

Summary: 9-day old rat embryos grow during 14 days of culture in a
serum-supplemented medium, but do not grow in pure serum-free medium.
Optimal growth as in serum-supplemented medium, cannot be achived neither
with the same protein concentration as in serum, nor by random combination
of growth stimulators (transferrin and albumine). When a cytostatic
5-azacytidine was added only once to serum-free medium with transferrin, an
immediate reduction of growth was observed. Neural growth factor impaired
growth in both serum-free or serum-supplemented medium.

Summary: Fisher rat embryonal retina can survive at least for 7
weeks grafted to ectopic sites and at least for 3 weeks as an explant in
organ culture in vitro. Adult neural retina was always resorbed when
grafted on ectopic site. Transdifferentiation of the retinal cells into
lens cells occures in vitro cultures of isolated rat embryos as well as in
culture of human embryonic white retina cells.

Summary: In optimal metabolic conditions under the kidney capsule
unexpressed developmental potential of serum-free cultured embryos becomes
expressed. On the other hand, culture in a serum-free medium probably
irreversibly impaires developmental potential for differentiation of
neuroblasts which we have not found neither in terratomas in vitro nor in
transplants.

Summary: We investigated the differentiation of neuroblasts in
culture of rat embryonic shields 8 and 9 days old. In serum-supplemented
medium differentiation begins on the 6th day of culture and is better than
differentiation i serum-free medium during first 7 or 14 days. Albumine or
transferrin in serum-free medium enabled differentiation in the same way as
in serum-supplemented medium, and 5-azacytidine enhanced differentiation of
neuroblasts in serum-supplemented medium.

Summary: The Velebit Mountain is the most important mountain area in
Croatia, stretching along the Adriatic coastline in the length of 145 km,
and varying in width from 10 to 30 km in the coastal hinterland. It
represents the multi layered natural reource of national and international
importance presenting numerous acute challenges and potentials. In 1978 it
was registered as Biosphere Reserve within the UNESCO Man and Biosphere
programme and in 1981 the whole of Velebit Mountain was proclaimed a Nature
Park. The attempts to establish it as a National Park, date as far back as
1929 (Stirovaca), but so far only Paklenica has attained this level of
protection in the South Velebit. In spite of the most recent attempts to
proclaim the whole high altitude area of Velebit a National Park, it seems
more realistic to establish the North Velebit National Park.

Held: from 08/08/93 to 08/13/93
Summary: We have identified a novel Ems/D11-like homeobox gene that
is ecpressed both during gastsrulation and later during organogenesis in
the developing limb buds. The early expression is localized specifically to
Hensen's node and to the developing notochord in a manner that sugests
potential roles for this gene in the determination of the primary emryonic
axis, and in regulating the remporal progression of somitogenesis. The
pattern of late ecpression of this gene, which is restricted to the limb
buds, is suggestive of a role in determining positional identity along the
proximo-distal axis of the limb. The identification of other developmental
control genes (eg. Goosecoid) that have a similar bimodal ecpression
pattern in the vertebrate embryo suggests the conservation of a regulatory
network that governs both of these developmental processes.

Summary: 8 and 9-day old rat embryos were cultivated in a serum-free
and serum-supplemented medium according to a modified organ culture method.
5-azacytidine incorporated in DNA prevents the methylation of cytosine
which results in gene activation was added to the medium. The grwth of
ecplants was not influenced when 5-azacytidine was applied during 24 hours,
but when added for 5 days continiously the growth was significantly
impeded. 9 day old embryos cultivated in a serum-supplemented medium showed
significantly better differentiation of myotubes, cartilage and neural
tissue. 8-days old embryos lackin mesoderm in the moment of explanation
give rise to mesodermal tissues rarely, with 5-azacytidine myotubes,
cartilage and neural tissue differentiated more often. In a serum-free
medium survival of explants was significantly lower especially with highest
doses of 5-azacytidine. The differentiation was not so good as in controls,
and with the highest dose explants did not develop any gut epithelium,
cartilage and myotubes.

Summary: In the year 1989 Mr. Denis Hayes initiated from the
Stanford University, California, a massive international manifestation on
the occassion of the 20th anniversary of the first Eart Day manifestation
in 1970, with the goal to mobilize the world attention towards ecological
problems, sustainable development and conservation of the human enironment.
Croatian Biological Society being invited for colaboration from Mr. Denis
Hayes accepted the invitation and sent back the first response to
California the names and addresses of a number of Croatian intellectuals,
prominent in their efforts for the wellbeing of man and human enviroment.
It was suggested that they should be approached directly from California
with the invitation to organize manifestations for the Earth Day 1990, and
to announce in this way the beginning of the decade dedicated to this goal:
1990 - 2000.

Summary: It is proposed to investigate the population and social
ecology of the bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) found in the waters
of the Croatian Coastline, comprised between the islands of Cres, Krk and
the city of Zadar. The principal research objectives include the
description of the size and range of the dolphin population, the monitoring
of pupulation trends, reproductive biology of the species, the study of
home range, seasonality, habitat use and association patterns of selected
individuals within the population. Research methods will include an
inventory of identifiable dolphin individuals through natural markings by
photoidentification, and the observation of their movements, behavior and
patterns of association. Inflatable rubber boats powred by outboard motors,
and a 15m sailin vellel with auxilliary engine will be used as the
observation platforms.

Title: "Parks for Life" - Action for Protected Areas in Europe
- Authors:
- Phillips, Adrian
Ordering party: IUCN - The World Conservation Union
Year: 1994
Number of pages: 150
Language: engleski
Summary: The aim of Parks for Life is to ensure an adequate,
effective and well-managed network of protected areas in Europe - to
conserve the full landscape and biological diversity of the continent. The
plan sets out the policies and the actions needed to achieve this. Europe
has many impressive protected areas, but the network still has deficiencies
and gaps. There is much to be done, but also there are many opportunities.
The next World Parks Congress will provide a good point to review progress
in achieving the aims of the plan. What would an adequatte, effective and
well-managed network of protected areas look like in 2002?

Summary: The origin of lens cells was investigated in two
experimental systems. In first we cultivated rat embryos in vitro, and in
second we transplanted them under the kidney capsule. In both cases cell
continuity between lens cells and retina cells was discovered. The
conclusion can be drawn that retina cells transdifferentiated to lens
cells.

Summary: Retinoblastoma protein is heterogenously expressed in mouse
and human embryos depending on the degree of differentiation, meaning that
it is expressed in more differentiated cells and absent from the less
differentiated cells (e.g. mouse retina or epidermis). In in vitro systems
postitive are also differentiating cells as trophectoderm or myoblasts
differentiating to myotubes.
