Concentrations and specific antibodies to staphylococcal enterotoxin-C and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 in bovine mammary gland secretions,and inflammatory response to the intramammary inoculation of these toxins     

Kuroishi T  Komine K  Kai K  Itagaki M  Kobayashi J  Ohta M  Kamata S  Kumagai K 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2003,65(8):899-906

To investigate the pathological role of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) and toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) in bovine mastitis, the production of SEs and TSST-1 was investigated in staphylococci isolated from 120 mammary gland secretions (MGS, 51 from no clinical sign-mammary glands and 69 from staphylococcal mastitic-mammary glands) collected from dairy farms where staphylococcal mastitis frequently occurred in Miyagi and Yamagata prefectures from 1997 to 1998. Concentrations of these toxins and specific antibody titers in each MGS were also measured. Furthermore, SEC and TSST-1 were inoculated into lactating mammary glands and inflammatory responses were analyzed. A high percentage of staphylococci including Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from both no clinical sign- and mastitic-MGS produced both SEC and/or TSST-1. The concentration of SEC increased with the severity of the mastitis, and was significantly higher (P<0.05) in acute mastitic-than in no clinical signs-MGS. Titers of specific antibodies to TSST-1 in MGS were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those to SEC, regardless of whether or not the cows were lactating or mastitic. Specific antibodies purified from MGS neutralized each toxin in vitro. A significant increase (P < 0.05) in somatic cell counts was induced by the intramammary inoculation of SEC but not TSST-1. These findings indicated that SEC rather than TSST-1 plays an important role in the pathology of staphylococcal bovine mastitis. The inflammatory activity of TSST-1 was probably neutralized by specific antibodies in MGS.  相似文献   

Efficacy of enamel matrix protein applied to spontaneous periodontal disease in two dogs     

Watanabe K  Kikuchi M  Okumura M  Kadosawa T  Fujinaga T 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2003,65(9):1007-1010

Enamel matrix protein (EMP) was applied for regeneration of periodontal tissue in 2 dogs with spontaneous periodontal disease. Case 1 had bony resorption around the root and root apex of the maxillary fourth premolars. Case 2 had vertical resorption of bone between the mandibular first and second molars. A flap was formed in the buccal gingiva, and EMP was applied onto the surface of the exposed root. One or 4 months postoperatively, increased bone level and clinical attachment were recognized. EMP was therefore suggested to be effective to induce regeneration of periodontal tissues in the cases with periodontal disease.  相似文献

Growth of recombinant equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) replaced with passage-induced mutant gene 1 and gene 71 derived from an attenuated EHV-1 in cell cultures and in the lungs of mice     

Kirisawa R  Kobayashi T  Uematsu R  Ikeda A  Kuroiwa R  Urakami A  Iwai H 《Veterinary microbiology》2003,95(3):159-174

The relationship of passage-induced mutant genes 1 and 71 of an attenuated equine herpesvirus 1 (EHV-1) with virulence was analysed by constructing nine recombinant EHV-1 viruses by homologous recombination. Gene 1 or/and gene 71 of a virulent EHV-1 strain, HH1, was replaced by a mutant gene 1 or/and 71 of an attenuated HH1 strain, BK343, respectively. The beta-galactosidase gene of Escherichia coli was inserted within the gene 1 or 71 coding sequence of HH1 to inactivate the genes. Virus replications of these recombinant viruses in cell cultures were similar, but release of the gene 71-inactivated virus from infected cells was delayed compared to that of the other viruses. Plaque sizes of the recombinant viruses were similar to those of HH1, but those of BK343 were significantly smaller, indicating an effect of some unknown factor(s) on viral cell-to-cell spread. The growth abilities of the recombinant viruses with a mutant gene 1 or/and 71 in lungs of mice were similar to those of HH1, but those of gene 71-inactivated viruses were reduced to the level of BK343 and the titers were about 100-times lower than those of the other recombinant viruses. These results indicate that the mutant genes 1 and 71 of BK343 might not confer an attenuated nature to EHV-1.  相似文献   

Expression of mRNA of chemokine receptor CXCR4 in feline mammary adenocarcinoma   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

Tanabe S  Nakadai T  Furuoka H  Oomachi T  Kobayashi Y  Omata Y  Koyama T  Hondo E  Uzuka Y  Sarashina T  Ducusin RJ  Shida T  Dorf ME 《The Veterinary record》2002,151(24):729-733

The expression of mRNA of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in 65 surgically resected mammary adenocarcinomas from cats was investigated by in situ hybridisation. No expression of the receptor's mRNA was detectable in the mammary tissue of healthy cats, but it was expressed in areas adjacent to necrosis, surrounding blood vessels and cells infiltrating the lymphatics of 47 (72.3 per cent) of the 65 samples. There was a significant relationship between lymphatic infiltration by neoplastic cells and the expression of the receptor's mRNA (P < 0.005), but there was no significant relationship between its expression and the one-year survival of the cats.  相似文献   

Prevalence and characteristics of intimin- and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli from gulls,pigeons and broilers in Finland     

Kobayashi H  Pohjanvirta T  Pelkonen S 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2002,64(11):1071-1073

The role of birds as sources of Shiga toxin-and intimin-producing Escherichia coli was studied. Fecal samples from live gulls (n=86), pigeons (n=33) and broiler chickens (n=199) from 23 flocks were analyzed for stx and eae by PCR. No stx positive samples were detected. In contrast, eae E. coli were highly prevalent among gulls (40%), and was also found in pigeons (7%) and chickens (57% of the flocks contaminated). The eae positive isolates were analyzed genetically and O-serogrouped. One isolate from a pigeon was found to have stx (2f). The isolates of gulls differed from those of pigeons and chickens, and all eae E. coli isolates from birds differed from human pathogenic strains by the lack of EHEC-hlyA and bfp/EAF as well as distribution of O-serogroups. Thus, birds cannot be regarded as important carriers of zoonotic stx or eae E. coli in Finland.  相似文献   

Steroid hormones do not reactivate Neospora caninum in ovariectomized mice     

Kobayashi A  Katagiri S  Kimura T  Ochiai K  Umemura T 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2002,64(9):773-777

The direct effects of three steroid hormones (progesterone, estradiol-17beta and corticosterone) on the growth of Neospora caninum (N. caninum) tachyzoite were examined in Vero cells. Subsequently, ovariectomized BALB/c mice infected with N. caninum were treated with physiological concentrations of the steroid hormones for 1 or 2 weeks. These hormones had no direct effect on the parasite growth in vitro. In the infected mice, there was no significant difference in the parasite distribution and histopathological changes between the hormone-injected and control groups. No mice showed parasitemia at the time of autopsy. These results suggest that physiological levels of steroid hormones (progesterone, estradiol-17beta and corticosterone) do not reactivate N. caninum in mice.  相似文献
