Epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) express a high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), consisting of two chains (α and γ chains) in humans that allows LC to perform Fc receptor-mediated uptake of allergens. We found that canine LC express α and γ chains but not β chain of FcεRI, identical to human but not to mouse LC, which do not express functional FcεRI (only γ chain is expressed). This finding indicates that canine LC have FcεRI-mediated function similar to or identical to human LC, raising the possibility that canine species provides a better model than mouse to understand the pathogenesis of human atopic dermatitis and investigate the therapeutic effect of drugs.  相似文献

A subcutaneous tumor was found in the right abdomen of a 16-week-old male TCRβ and p53 double-knockout mouse. The tumor had indistinct borders with the surrounding tissue. The cut surface after formalin fixation was pale yellowish white, partially dark red and partly white. Histologically, the tumor was composed of three distinct regions. The first region showed pleomorphic cells arranged in sheets. The second region showed spindle cells arranged in interlacing fascicles. The final region contained a mixture of the above mentioned two types of cells. Furthermore, a small amount of collagen fibers, round cells, multinucleated giant cells, and cells with eosinophilic granules were observed between these tumor cells. Immunohistochemical examination and electron microscopy identified that the pleomorphic cells and spindle cells were histiocytes and fibroblasts, respectively, and that the round cells were undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. Based on these findings, the tumor was diagnosed as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma.  相似文献

Cortisol (Cr), the most important glucocorticoid (GC), is well known to suppress uterine prostaglandin F2α (PGF) production. However, the details of the regulatory mechanisms controlling the cyclic changes in endometrial PGF production remain unclear. Here we investigated the expression of the GC receptor (GC-Rα), the actions of cortisol throughout the estrous cycle and the regulatory mechanism of GC-Rα in the bovine endometrium. The levels of GC-Rα protein were greater at the mid-luteal stage (Days 8–12) than at the other stages. Cr more strongly suppressed PGF production at the mid-luteal stage than at the follicular stage. GC-Rα expression was increased by progesterone (P4) but decreased by estradiol-17β (E2) in cultured endometrial stromal cells. The overall results suggest that ovarian steroid hormones control the cyclic changes in endometrial PGF production by regulating GC-Rα expression in bovine endometrial stromal cells.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MCC950 on growth performance, uric acid metabolism, serum inflammatory factor contents and kidney injury of goslings a fed high protein diet, and explore the potential mechanism of nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) / cysteine aspartase-1 (Caspase-1) signaling pathway in gosling gout. A total of 120 Yangzhou goslings of 1-day-old were randomly divided into 3 groups, which were control group, high protein group (HP group) and high protein+ MCC950 group (HP+MCC950 group), with 5 replicates in each group and 8 goslings in each replicate. The control group was fed a normal protein diet with 16.5% crude protein, and the HP group and HP+MCC950 group were fed a high protein diet with 24.0% crude protein. The HP+MCC950 group was intraperitoneally injected with MCC950 every 3 days at a dose of 10 mg / kg BW, and the other two groups were injected with the same amount of normal saline. The experiment lasted for 15 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with the control group, the average body weight of goslings at 15 days of age in the HP group was significantly decreased (P<0.05); the serum contents of uric acid (UA), creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (UN), C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin 18 (IL-18), interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) in the HP group were significantly increased (P<0.05); the mRNA relative expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 and the protein relative expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β in kidney tissues in the HP group were significantly increased (P<0.05). 2) Compared with the HP group, the average body weight of goslings at 10 and 15 days of age in the HP+MCC950 group was significantly increased (P<0.05); the serum contents of UA, Cr, UN, CRP, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-α and TGF-β1 were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while the mRNA relative expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 and the protein relative expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β in kidney tissues in the HP+MCC950 group were significantly decreased (P< 0.05). 3) Histological findings showed that the renal tubules of goslings were dilated, and vacuolar degeneration and necrosis occurred in the HP group, while the structure of renal tubules was relatively normal in the HP+MCC950 group. The urate deposition area in kidney tissues of goslings in the HP group was significantly larger than that in the control group (P<0.05), and which in the HP+MCC950 group was significantly smaller than that in the HP group (P<0.05). Moreover, the urate deposition area in kidney tissues of goslings was significantly positively correlated with the protein relative expression level of NLRP3 (r = 0.681, P<0.05). In conclusion, MCC950 can promote the growth of goslings fed a high protein diet and reduce the serum uric acid content, which may be related to the reduction of inflammatory response and kidney injury through its inhibition of NLRP3 / Caspase-1 signaling pathway. © 2023 Authors.

Summary

The effect of molecular structure on the drug disposition and protein binding in plasma, the urinary recovery, and the renal clearance of sulphamerazine (SMR), sulphadiazine (SDZ), and sulphadimidine (SDM) and their N4‐acetyl and hydroxy derivatives were studied in pigs. Following IV administration of SDM, SMR and SDZ, their mean elimination half‐lives were 12.4 h, 4.3 h and 4.9 h respectively. The plasma concentrations of parent sulphonamide were higher than those of the metabolites, and ran parallel. The acetylated derivatives were the main metabolites; traces of 6‐hydroxymethylsulphamerazine and 4‐hydroxysulphadiazine were detected in plasma.

The urine recovery data showed that in pigs acetylation is the major elimination pathway of SDM, SMR and SDZ; hydroxylation became more important in case of SMR (6‐hydroxymethyl and 4‐hydroxy derivatives) and SDZ (4‐hydroxy derivatives) than in SDM. In pigs methyl substitution of the pyrimidine side chain decreased the renal clearance of the parent drug and made the parent compound less accessible for hydroxylation. Acetylation and hydroxylation speeded up drug elimentation, because their renal clearance values were higher than those of the parent drug.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo verify the efficacy of citral in inducing sedation and anesthesia in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and to assess the safety of essential oil (EO) of Aloysia citriodora and citral in inducing and maintaining anesthesia in silver catfish.Study designClinical study, randomized, parallel, multi-arm with control group in target species.AnimalsA total of 96 juvenile and 72 adult silver catfish and 80 juvenile grass carp were used.MethodsSilver catfish and grass carp were exposed to different concentrations of citral, 15–675 and 15–600 μL L–1, respectively, during the maximum period of 30 minutes to verify sedation and anesthesia induction and recovery times. In addition, for anesthetic induction, silver catfish were exposed to the EO of A. citriodora and citral at 225 μL L–1 for 3.5 minutes. Then, fish were transferred to an anesthesia maintenance solution at 50 μL L–1 for 10 minutes to assess hematologic and biochemical variables at 60 minutes, 2 and 6 days after treatment.ResultsCitral only induced sedation from 15, 25 and 40 μLL–1 in both species. Anesthesia without mortality was induced in silver catfish at 50–600 μL L–1 and grass carp at 75–450 μL L–1. At 675 and 600 μL L–1, mortality was recorded in silver catfish and grass carp, respectively. The EO of A. citriodora and citral were safe in inducing and maintaining anesthesia in silver catfish, with mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration being the only variable that varied in relation to time and treatments.Conclusions and clinical relevanceCitral was effective in inducing sedation and anesthesia in both species. In addition, A. citriodora EO and citral were safe in inducing and maintaining anesthesia in silver catfish. Both agents are promising substances for the development of new drugs for fish.  相似文献

Zoonotic diseases, transmitted from animals to humans, are a public health challenge in developing countries. Livestock value chain actors have an important role to play as the first line of defence in safeguarding public health. However, although the livelihood and economic impacts of zoonoses are widely known, adoption of biosecurity measures aimed at preventing zoonoses is low, particularly among actors in informal livestock value chains in low and middle-income countries. The main objective of this study was to investigate knowledge of zoonoses and adoption of biosecurity measures by livestock and milk value chain actors in Bura, Tana River County, in Kenya, where cattle, camels, sheep and goats are the main livestock kept. The study utilised a mixed methods approach, with a questionnaire survey administered to 154 value chain actors. Additional information was elicited through key informant interviews and participatory methods with relevant stakeholders outside the value chain. Our results found low levels of knowledge of zoonoses and low levels of adherence to food safety standards, with only 37% of milk traders knowing about brucellosis, in spite of a sero-prevalence of 9% in the small ruminants tested in this study, and no slaughterhouse worker knew about Q fever. Actors had little formal education (between 0 and 10%) and lacked training in food safety and biosecurity measures. Adoption of biosecurity measures by value chain actors was very low or non-existent, with only 11% of butchers wearing gloves. There was a gendered dimension, evidenced by markedly different participation in value chains and lower adoption rates and knowledge levels among female actors. Finally, cultural and religious practices were shown to play an important role in exposure and transmission of diseases, influencing perceptions and attitudes to risks and adoption of biosecurity measures.  相似文献

1. Medium hybrid hens were housed as groups of 4 at 18 weeks of age in cages of 4 different types: control battery cages allowing 675 cm2/bird; similar cages with a rear‐mounted dust bath, 290×345×240 mm, containing sand (D); cages with a rear‐mounted nest box of the same size, containing wood shavings (N); cages with both (DN). In half the experimental cages access to nests was restricted to the morning and access to baths was restricted to the afternoon, by automatic sliding doors.

2. During the first 24 weeks of lay about 95% of eggs were laid in nest boxes in treatments N and DN. Slightly fewer were laid in boxes where doors were present. Over 90% were laid in dust baths in D cages without doors and 67% with doors, which birds learned to open. Prelaying behaviour was least disturbed in nest boxes, most disturbed on the floor and intermediate in dust baths.

3. Fully developed dust bathing occurred in D and DN as bouts lasting 5 to 10 minutes; its incidence, surprisingly, was greater when doors were present and greater still when nest boxes were present, even though it was not performed in them. It was also performed by some hens in nest boxes in N (without doors). In N with doors and in control cages, dust bathing occurred on the bare floor in truncated form, as serial bouts each lasting only about 10 s. This truncated dust bathing was also occasionally observed in D and DN.

4. Plumage, foot and claw damage were less in hens from modified cages than from controls. Egg production was very good in all treatments but more eggs from control cages were downgraded because they were dirty or cracked.

5. When a choice was available birds generally partitioned their behaviour appropriately between nest box and dust bath. In N and DN virtually all prelaying and nesting behaviour took place in the nest boxes. Matching between dust bathing and the environment was less close; the reasons for its relatively low incidence and occurrence in truncated form outside dust baths remain to be established.  相似文献

Abnormal platelet activity can either lead to bleeding tendencies or inappropriate thrombus formation and can occur secondarily to a wide variety of disease processes, with a range of clinical consequences and severity. This article will discuss the pathophysiology of platelet function abnormalities and consider a logical diagnostic approach applicable to veterinary practice. Recent advances in platelet function testing will then be discussed, with regards to detection of platelet dysfunction and tailoring of pharmacological manipulation. Although many of these tests are still confined to research or academic institutions, techniques for indirectly assessing platelet function are starting to become more widely available. Although we still require further research to develop guidelines for the use of these tests in clinical decision-making, the recent advances in this field are an exciting step forward in being able to detect and manage platelet dysfunction in both primary care and referral practice.  相似文献

Objectives To determine the vitreous volume, and retinal and lens wet weights in male and female Göttingen minipigs of different age groups. Procedures Vitreous, lens and retina were isolated from fresh minipig eyes. Vitreous volume, lens and retina weight were measured and allometric scaling was utilized to predict these parameters. Results There were no gender differences in body weights or retina and lens weights in the three age groups examined in this study. For vitreous volumes, females had a significantly larger volume (approximately 10%–12%) than males in the 4–6 and 6–8 month, but not in the 8–11‐month group. The mean body weight increased from 12.2 ± 2.6 kg (4–6 months) to 19.4 ± 4.0 kg (8–11 months). In the same period, the mean vitreous volume increased from 2.00 ± 0.28 to 2.67 ± 0.31 mL, while the mean retinal and lens weights increased from 114 ± 22 to 126 ± 17 mg, and from 298 ± 26 to 392 ± 15 mg, respectively. Allometric analysis between six species for vitreous volume and four species for lens weight covering a weight range of 260‐fold was not able to estimate the vitreous volume, but it did predict the lens weight in 8–11 months minipigs. Conclusions Overall these measurements add important context to intraocular pharmacology studies, and will help in the improved design and interpretation of such experiments.  相似文献
