Pseudomonas piscicida, Aeromonas formicans and Flavobacteria sp. were involved in aggregation of hatchery reared Penaeus stylirostris larvae. Aggregation was experimentally reproduced with pure cultures of these organisms at densities of 104 cells per ml. Adding at least 3 μg/ml gentamycin, 10 μg/ml nalidixic acid, 0.1 μg/ml acridine or Cutrine Plus®1 into test suspensions prevented aggregation of the shrimp larvae.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   To assess the effect of a seaweed mixture on lipid levels in serum as well as platelet aggregation in rats, Eisenia bicyclis ('Arame'), Hizikia fusiformis ('Hijiki') and Undaria pinnatifida sporophylls ('Mekabu'), all brown seaweeds, and Porphyra yezoensis ('Susabinori'), a red seaweed, were powdered and mixed in a ratio of 45:30:20:5 (w/w). When rats were fed a cholesterol-rich diet containing this mixture of seaweeds (9–10% w/w) for 28 days, serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, free cholesterol, and triglyceride levels declined significantly to 49.7%, 48.1%, 49.0% and 74.8%, respectively, of those of the control. Serum HDL-cholesterol, however, was unchanged. Though activated partial thromboplatin time, prothrombin time, antithrombin III activity, and fibrinogen levels in plasma were unchanged, the maximal ADP- and collagen-induced platelet aggregation decreased significantly to 89.0% and 85.5% control levels, respectively. These results indicate that this mixture of E. bicyclis , H. fusiformis , U. pinnatifida sporophylls, and P. yezoensis , is useful for the prevention of hyperlipidemia and thrombosis in rats.  相似文献

Pyridinoline (Pyr), one of the mature crosslinks of collagen, was determined in muscular collagen of three species of fish. The amounts of muscular Pyr in red sea bream, yellowtail, and tiger puffer were 3.4, 8.8, and 50.3 mmol/mol collagen, respectively, indicating that the Pyr concentration in muscular collagen differs greatly among fish species. The Pyr concentration in tiger puffer muscular collagen was the greatest, but it was only one-fourth that in rabbit muscle. As in mammalian skin collagen, Pyr was not detected in skin collagen of red sea bream and yellowtail. However, tiger puffer skin contained Pyr (3.75 mmol/mol collagen). The presence of Pyr would have a relationship to some features of tiger puffer skin, such as mechanical strength and thickness. Pyr concentrations in acid-soluble collagen (ASC), pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC), and insoluble collagen (ISC) in muscles of three species of fish were determined. Pyr was found in ISC > PSC > ASC, from the highest to the lowest concentration, and the concentration in ISC was 45–200 times that in ASC. Therefore, Pyr crosslinks that are formed between collagen molecules would have a close relationship to collagen solubility.  相似文献

Pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) was isolated from Peru squid (Dosidicus gigas) skin and physicochemical properties of the PSC were determined. The PSC exhibited a maximum absorbance at 220 nm. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis suggested the collagen containing α1 and α2 chain was classified as type I collagen. Amino acid composition indicated that the collagen had lower amino acid content than that of mammalian collagen. Denaturation temperature (Td) of the PSC was 26.8°C. The PSC had relatively high solubility in alkaline condition or NaCl concentrations below 2%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy investigations showed the existence of helical arrangements of collagen. The lyophilized collagen had a uniform and regular network structure. These results suggested that Peru squid skin was a potential source of collagen for further research and application.  相似文献

Seratia marcescens was used as an indicator to determine if different concentrations of bacteria in water relate to concentrations in the hemolymph of Macrobrachium rosenbergii . Prawns were exposed to high (105 to 106 cells/ml), low (103 to 104 cells/ml) and control (no S. marcescens ) treatments with S. marcescens inoculated in aquaria water. S. marcescens ranged from 10 to 9.9 ± 103 cells/ml from the high concentration group; a single isolate and zero S. marcescens were recovered from the low and control groups, respectively.  相似文献

An overview of the circulation of the liver and of the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy as a result of portal vascular anomalies is given. Clinical signs associated with portal systemic shunts are described on the basis of 16 cases, 14 dogs and 2 cats. These animals ranged in age at the time of presentation from 4 months to 7 years. The predominant abnormality observed were central nervous signs, which differed in severity. 15 animals showed a reduction in liver size. The different techniques of contrast angiography allowing demonstration of a portal systemic shunt are presented along with a discussion of the pros and cons of each. Additionally the significance of making portal venous pressure measurements prior to each angiography is also explained. In most cases mesenteric portography was chosen. Based on their location the anomalies could be categorized as intrahepatic (4 dogs) or extrahepatic (10 dogs, 2 cats). In both groups breeds of various size are represented. The extrahepatic shunts could be further described as portal-caval (n = 5), portal-phrenic (n = 4) and portal-azygos (n = 3). In five of the older animals angiography showed in addition some hepatic perfusion by the portal vein. Laboratory evaluation revealed increased resting blood ammonia concentrations (greater than 200-912 micrograms/100 ml) in all animals. Seven dogs had definitely subnormal BUN concentrations (less than 10 mg%) and ten dogs low total plasmaprotein levels (less than 5.4 g%). Free amino acids (24) were determined in four dogs and a lowered hepatic encephalopathy index (less than 1.64) was found. Medical palliative therapy to control the clinical signs is discussed. The only effective long term therapy is, however, surgery. The shunt vessel is narrowed so that a greater volume of portal blood reaches the liver. Experience gained from the surgical therapy of 14 animals is presented. Ten of these survived well without requiring further therapy at a later time. Finally the etiology, prognosis, and differential diagnosis are summarized.  相似文献

Nanotechnology is an emerging avenue employed in disease prevention and treatment. This study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) against major bacterial and oomycete fish pathogens in comparison with chitosan suspension. Initially, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC, MIC90) were determined and the per cent inhibition of bacterial growth was calculated. Subsequently, the minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were determined. The time-dependent disruptions of CSNP-treated pathogens were observed via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the effect of CSNPs on the viability of two fish cell lines was assessed. No antimicrobial effect was observed with chitosan, while CSNPs (105 nm) exhibited a dose-dependent and species-specific antimicrobial properties. They were bactericidal against seven bacterial isolates recording MBC values from 1 to 7 mg/ml, bacteriostatic against four further isolates recording MIC values from 0.125 to 5 mg/ml and fungistatic against oomycetes recording MIC90 values of 3 and 4 mg/ml. TEM micrographs showed the attachment of CSNPs to the pathogenic cell membranes disrupting their integrity. No significant cytotoxicity was observed using 1 mg/ml CSNPs, while low dose-dependent cytotoxicity was elicited by the higher doses. Therefore, it is anticipated that CSNPs are able to compete and reduce using antibiotics in aquaculture.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to compare the expression pattern of heat-shock protein 60 (HSP60), 70 (HSP70), and 90 (HSP90) mRNA in hepatic cells of grass carp exposed to enrofloxacin and emodin concentrations. The expression pattern of different genes encoding heat-shock proteins in hepatic cells of grass carp was exposed to graded levels of enrofloxacin (12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 μg/ml) or emodin (0.04, 0.2, 1, 5, and 25 μg/ml) for 24 h and were investigated by real-time quantitative PCR. When cells were exposed to up 50 μg/ml enrofloxacin, both HSP60 and HSP70 mRNA levels firstly were increased and thereafter significantly dropped at high concentrations (P < 0.05), while HSP90 decreased with increasing enrofloxacin concentration. Besides, HSP60 and HSP70 expressions were significantly inhibited in the high-concentration groups. In addition, the HSP90 mRNA levels in the treatment exposed to 100 and 200 μg/ml enrofloxacin were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, when cells were exposed to graded levels of emodin, HSPs (HSP60, 70, and 90) mRNA levels significantly increased in the groups exposed to 5 and 25 μg/ml of emodin. The different expression pattern of HSPs implied that enrofloxacin could inhibit the expression levels of HSPs, while optimal level of emodin could trigger higher expression levels of HSPs in hepatic cell of grass carp to protect against further damage.  相似文献

A commercially available heterogeneous, solid-phase tube enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) was modified and validated for the measurement of serum cortisol in rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss . The assay is accurate and precise. Resting and stress-elevated serum cortisol concentrations were measured in rainbow trout with a sensitivity of 1.5 ng/ml. Fish held in net-pens at a density of 0.4 kg/m3/cm had a resting cortisol level of 16.5 ± 3.8 ng/ml (mean ± SE). At 3 h postdisturbance, serum cortisol levels were not affected by the removal of fish from adjacent net-pens with dip nets or by the use of 200 mg/L tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222) as an anesthetic for obtaining samples. However, an acute stress (60 s removal from water) elevated serum cortisol levels to 73.7 ± 9.4 ng/ml.  相似文献

Vitellogenin (Vg) of the barfin plaice Liopsetta pinnifasciata was isolated and purified. In native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Vg appeared as one band. After being subjected to sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE), Vg fraction produced several polypeptides with molecular masses of 180, 98, 70, 52, 41 and 37 kDa. MALDI–TOF mass spectrometry (MS) of the 180- and 98-kDa Vg polypeptides from the SDS–PAGE gel and de novo sequencing of their four peptide fragments based on MS/MS analysis confirmed that the purified proteins were vitellogenins, which shared high similarity with the Vgs of the barfin flounder Verasper moseri and Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus. The most part of the predicted sequences obtained from the L. pinnifasciata 180-kDa polypeptide has previously been found in the V. moseri vitellogenin type B, the sequences obtained from the 98-kDa polypeptide were found in V. moseri vitellogenin type A, so these findings allow us to propose that L. pinnifasciata has at least two different forms of Vg. Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Vg were produced, and a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed. The concentration of Vg in barfin plaice from the moderately contaminated area of Amursky Bay in the Sea of Japan was detected based on the maturity stage of their gonads. In November 2008, the Vg concentration in the plasma of females with advanced oogenesis varied from 5.295 to 28.367 mg/ml (mean 16.38 ± 6.73 mg/ml, CV = 41.1%); in the plasma of males, the concentration ranged from non-detectable to 0.957 mg/ml (0.29 ± 0.42 mg/ml, CV = 127.9%). In October 2009, the Vg concentration in female plasma was lower than in November 2008 (2.21–13.87 mg/ml). High individual variability of plasma Vg was characteristic for maturing males (CV = 200.3%) and immature females (CV = 255.5%), and there was no significant difference between plasma Vg concentrations in males captured in November 2008 and October 2009 or in maturing males and immature females. Vacuolisation of hepatocytes was more typical for males with low plasma Vg concentrations and females with high plasma Vg concentrations. Necrosis and pyknosis of hepatocyte nuclei were more frequent in males with high Vg concentrations and in females with low plasma Vg concentrations.  相似文献

Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) was isolated from Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) bone. The ASC was rich in glycine. The amount of imino acid was lower than that of calf skin collagen, as was the transition temperature (48.6°C). Electrophoresis revealed two different α chains (α1 and α2), β-component, and γ-component. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy measurement showed that ASC was in triple-helix structure. ASC had a solubility greater than 90% in a very acidic pH range (pH 1–4), and the solubility decreased with increasing NaCl concentrations up to 3%. Lyophilized ASC had a network ultrastructure with lace-like fibers, similar to calf skin collagen sponge.  相似文献

The pharmacokinetics of oxolinic acid and oxytetracycline were examined in kuruma shrimp (Penaeus japonicus) after intra-sinus (10 and 25 mg/kg, respectively) and oral (50 mg/kg) administration. The shrimp were kept in tanks with recirculated artificial seawater at a salinity of 22–23 ppt. The water temperature was maintained at 25±0.6 °C. The hemolymph concentrations of both drugs after intra-sinus dosing were best described by a two-compartment open model. The distribution and elimination half-lives (t1/2 and t1/2β) were found to be 0.59 and 33.2 h for oxolinic acid and 0.45 and 24.7 h for oxytetracycline, respectively. The apparent volume of distribution at a steady state (Vss) and total body clearance (CLb) were estimated to be 1309 ml/kg and 28.8 ml/kg/h for oxolinic acid and 748 ml/kg and 22.7 ml/kg/h, respectively. The hemolymph concentration–time curves after oral administration did not fit by the nonlinear least squares method using one- and two-compartment model with first-order absorption in either of the drugs. The peak hemolymph concentration (Cmax), the time to peak hemolymph concentration (tmax) and the elimination half-life were found to be 17.8 μg/ml, 7 h and 34.3 h for oxolinic acid and 24.3 μg/ml, 10 h and 33.6 h for oxytetracycline, respectively. The bioavailability (F) after oral administration was 32.9% for oxolinic acid and 43.2% for oxytetracycline. The hemolymph protein binding in vivo was determined to be 36.7±8.5% for oxolinic acid and 22.9±4.8% for oxytetracycline.  相似文献

Abstract. Two multiple-dose pharmacokinetic and depletion studies with sarafloxacin hydrochloride in feed pellets were conducted with Atlantic salmon at 12.1 ± 1.1 †C and 9.3 ± 1.5†C, respectively. The dose regimens used were 10mg sarafloxacin kg-1 biomass for 10 days, and 20mg sarafloxacin kg-1 biomass for 5 days. In the 10-day study, the highest average concentrations of sarafloxacin in plasma, muscle and liver were 0.14, 0.39 and 0.88μgg(ml)-1, respectively. In the 5-day study, the highest average concentrations in plasma, muscle, liver and skin were 0.40, 0.61, 1.56 and 0.19μg(ml)-1, respectively. A comparison between the individual plasma concentrations and the corresponding tissue concentrations revealed significantly higher concentrations in tissue than in plasma during the depletion phase. A similar comparison made in the therapeutic phase from 3 days after first medication to one day after the last medication revealed significantly higher concentrations in liver and muscle than in plasma, and significantly lower concentrations in skin than in plasma. On withdrawal of the drug, sarafloxacin concentrations in plasma and the different tissues declined rapidly, Sarafloxacin was not detected in any plasma sample taken 6 days or more after the end of medication. The corresponding figures for muscle, skin and liver tissues were 14, 20 and 22 days, respectively. The half-lives of sarafloxacin varied in the different tissues included in the studies. The half-life was shortest in plasma, and increased in ascending order in muscle, liver and skin.  相似文献

Growth, survival, tissue ascorbate concentration and collagen content were studied in fast-growing Penaeus monodon fed two ascorbic acid (AA) derivatives. Prior to the experimental trial, shrimp (initial body weight: 0.9 ± 0.4 g) were fed on a diet lacking vitamin C for 5 weeks. During the following 13-week experiment, the shrimp (initial body weight: 8.2 ± 0.7 g) were given one of five squid-meal-based diets. The dietary treatments consisted of a diet lacking vitamin C, two diets supplemented with either 500 or 1000 mg AA kg−1 in the form of silicone-coated AA, and two diets supplemented with either 500 or 1000 mg AA kg−1 in the form of ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate. Shrimp gained 18.3 g in 13 weeks. The AA-free diet group exhibited the lowest growth rate, feed intake and survival (26.8%) after 4 weeks. Hepatopancreatic ascorbate and muscle collagen content were significantly ( P < 0.05) lower in AA-deprived shrimp. At the end of the feeding trial, growth rate and survival were not significantly ( P > 0.05) different among groups fed AA-supplemented diets. Hepatopancreatic and haemolymphatic ascorbate concentrations were significantly ( P < 0.05) higher in groups given ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate than in groups given silicone-coated AA. A supplement of 500 mg AA kg−1 diet in the form of either silicone-coated AA or ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate was adequate for optimal growth. But ascorbate concentrations in tissues remained much below saturation levels with a supplement of 1000 mg AA kg−1 diet. It is questionable whether the established vitamin C requirements for P. monodon are adequate to maintain tissue ascorbate in fast-growing juveniles.  相似文献

ABSTRACT:   In this paper, the detection of type I collagen degradation during the softening phenomenon of yellowtail muscle, was examined. Acid soluble collagen was isolated from dorsal ordinary muscle at death and after 24-h chilled storage. In the abundant ratio of subunit components, an increase in β12 chain (5.4 points) and a decrease in components with molecular weights larger than γ chain (7.0 points) after 24-h chilled storage, was found. Type I collagen was detected in the alkali-soluble fraction by SDS-PAGE. Its amount calculated from hydroxyproline contents in alkali-soluble fraction was increased from 0.097 mg/g muscle to 0.155 mg/g muscle during 24-h storage. The increased alkali-soluble collagen (0.058 mg/g muscle) was about 1.4% of whole collagen. These results suggest that a slight decomposition of type I collagen of yellowtail muscle may occur and subsequently becomes alkali-soluble corresponding to postmortem softening.  相似文献

Exposure of fish to stressors leads to multiple changes in the skin epithelium. We investigated the role of the stress hormone cortisol in the control of these changes by exposure of pieces of skin from the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss with an in vitro tissue culture incubation procedure. The effects of 24 h exposure to 4 cortisol concentrations (0, 50, 500 and 1000 ng/ml) were determined. Numbers of mucous, mitotic and apoptotic cells were quantitatively assessed using immunohistochemical techniques, in situ DNA nick end labelling (TUNEL), as well as conventional light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cortisol receptor blocker mifepristone was used to investigate whether the effects could be attributed to the direct action of the hormone via glucocorticoid receptors. Overall, cortisol had no effect on the mucous cell population at 24 h. Incubation with the receptor blocker reduced the number of mucous cells. Cell proliferation was stimulated by the addition of 50 and 500 ng/ml cortisol, but not at 1000 ng/ml. Incubation with the receptor blocker increased proliferation in the control group (0 ng/ml) only. An increase in apoptosis occurred at 500 and 1000 ng/ml cortisol. This increase was blocked by incubation with the receptor blocker, which resulted in lower numbers of apoptotic cells in all except the 0 ng/ml controls. SEM observations corroborated the quantitative data. The results indicated that the effects of stressors on the fish epidermis mentioned above are mediated by cortisol, with the exception of mucous cell release.  相似文献

Enzymatic solubilization of collagen from the skin tissue of diamond squid Thysanoteuthis rhombus, an underutilized resource in Japan, was attempted using an acid protease from the fungus Rhizopus niveus. This novel approach was compared with the conventional method using porcine pepsin. Both proteases were able to solubilize most of the skin collagen (>90 % of the total collagen) by performing the treatment in 0.5 M acetic acid at 4 °C for 72 h and at an enzyme/substrate ratio (w/w) of 1/10. The SDS-PAGE patterns of the solubilized collagen preparations were quite similar to each other, and two types of collagen (major and minor collagens) were purified from each preparation by cation-exchange column chromatography. These collagen types from the porcine pepsin-solubilized collagen showed similar features to those from the Rhizopus acid protease-solubilized collagen. These results suggest that the Rhizopus acid protease, a protease of non-animal origin, is applicable for solubilizing collagen in the skin of diamond squid.  相似文献
