Abstract: Background data during the gestation period were obtained from 128 Wistar Hannover GALAS rats and 26 Crl:CD(SD) pregnant rats in the control groups of our previous toxicity studies. The body weights of dams in the Wistar Hannover GALAS rats were significantly lower throughout the gestation period than those in the Crl:CD(SD) rats. In contrast, the time-dependent change in the body weight gain (%) of dams showed very similar trends in both strains. The mean number of live embryos/fetuses in the Wistar Hannover GALAS rats was 12.0, and was lower than that (14.5) in the Crl:CD(SD) rats. The placental weights gradually increased with pregnancy progression and reached a plateau on gestation day (GD) 19, although the embryo/fetal weights rapidly increased from GD 17 to GD 21. The embryo/fetal weights in the Wistar Hannover GALAS rats were significantly lower on only GD 21 than those in the Crl:CD(SD) rats. It is considered that this fetal weight difference between the strains develops during the fetal period, but not during the organogenesis period. In contrast, there were no differences in the placental weights between the two strains. Microscopically, the thickness of the labyrinth zone in the Wistar Hannover GALAS rats was thicker throughout the gestation period than that in the Crl:CD(SD) rats.  相似文献

Lack of exposed ice inside lunar south pole Shackleton Crater   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The inside of Shackleton Crater at the lunar south pole is permanently shadowed; it has been inferred to hold water-ice deposits. The Terrain Camera (TC), a 10-meter-resolution stereo camera onboard the Selenological and Engineering Explorer (SELENE) spacecraft, succeeded in imaging the inside of the crater, which was faintly lit by sunlight scattered from the upper inner wall near the rim. The estimated temperature of the crater floor, based on the crater shape model derived from the TC data, is less than approximately 90 kelvin, cold enough to hold water-ice. However, at the TC's spatial resolution, the derived albedo indicates that exposed relatively pure water-ice deposits are not on the crater floor. Water-ice may be disseminated and mixed with soil over a small percentage of the area or may not exist at all.  相似文献

Dependence of self-tolerance on TRAF6-directed development of thymic stroma   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Akiyama T  Maeda S  Yamane S  Ogino K  Kasai M  Kajiura F  Matsumoto M  Inoue J 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2005,308(5719):248-251

The microenvironments of the thymus are generated by thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and are essential for inducing immune self-tolerance or developing T cells. However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie the differentiation of TECs and thymic compartmentalization are not fully understood. Here we show that deficiency in the tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) 6 results in disorganized distribution of medullary TECs (mTECs) and the absence of mature mTECs. Engraftment of thymic stroma of TRAF6(-/-) embryos into athymic nude mice induced autoimmunity. Thus, TRAF6 directs the development of thymic stroma and represents a critical point of regulation for self-tolerance and autoimmunity.  相似文献   

缓释、控释肥料对大豆产量的影响   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

利用缓释或控释肥料，在盆栽条件下研究了大豆生育期间干物质积累，分配，养分吸收和产量的变化。结果表明，生育期间的总干物质的积累，结英期以前所有缓释肥料处理的均高于对照，尤以LP-40和LP-70的处理作用明显，而结荚后只有LP-40，LP-70和LP-SS100A3个处理的干物重高于对照；缓释时间短的肥料对氮素的吸收影响不大，而时间长的则减少前期的吸收，然而，缓释或控释肥料均能一定程度的增加K^ 的含量，但对PO4^3-影响不大。控释肥料LP-SS100A可增产21.9%，而缓释肥料LP-70和LP-180A分别增产13.1%和12.2%。  相似文献

Changes in extractive components and microbial proliferation during fermentation of fish sauce from underutilized fish species and quality of final products     

Wakako Taira  Yasuhiro Funatsu  Masataka Satomi  Takashi Takano  Hiroki Abe 《Fisheries Science》2007,73(4):913-923

To make use of underutilized fish species and produce high-quality condiments substitutable for those of mammalian origin, fish sauces were produced on a small industrial scale from three fish species, the flyingfish Cypselurus agoo agoo, the small dolphinfish Coryphaena hippurus, and the deepsea smelt Glossanodon semifasciatus, using salt and koji mold. During 180 days of fermentation, the pH decreased to approximately 4.5 and total nitrogen and free amino acids increased to approximately 2 g/100 mL and 6000 mg/100 mL, respectively. Halophilic and extreme halophilic bacterial counts dramatically increased from 10⁶ to 10⁸ colony forming units/mL between days 14 and 30 and decreased the reafter. In the final products, the pH and salt concentration decreased to between soy sauce and a Vietnamese fish sauce, Nuoc mam. The total amino acid and organic acid contents were almost the same as those of Nuoc mam and soy sauce. Sensory evaluation found these products to have lower smell, saltiness, and bitterness, and higher sweetness and umami taste than Nuoc mam. During fermentation, the histamine content increased in one or two of three fermentation tanks for each fish species. As a result, the histamine content of the final products was higher than that in Nuoc mam.  相似文献   

Molecular cloning of CD4 from ginbuna crucian carp <Emphasis Type="Italic">Carassius auratus langsdorfii</Emphasis>

ABSTRACT:   The clonal triploid ginbuna crucian carp Carassius auratus langsdorfii , a naturally occurring gynogenetic fish, is a useful model for studying T-cell-mediated immunity. CD4, a T-cell receptor (TCR) coreceptor, is a membrane-bound glycoprotein found on helper T-cells, and assists in the binding of major histocompatibility complexes. In the present study, full-length cDNAs encoding the CD4 molecule from the S3n strain of ginbuna crucian carp were cloned and characterized. 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and 3'-RACE yielded two distinct cDNA clones of CD4 homolog from the ginbuna, and these sequences share 95% identity at the amino acid level. These ginbuna CD4 molecules consisted of a signal peptide, immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSf) like domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain similar to other known CD4. A tyrosine protein kinase p56^lck binding motif is conserved in the cytoplasmic tail of ginbuna CD4. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that ginbuna CD4 sequences are closely related to CD4L-1 from other fish species. Expression of ginbuna CD4 mRNA was detected in the gill, thymus, head kidney, trunk kidney and peripheral blood leukocytes, indicating that its expression pattern is similar to that of ginbuna TCRβ mRNA. The results suggest that ginbuna CD4 sequences are useful as molecular probes for helper T-cells.  相似文献
