Pemphigus is an autoimmune blistering disease characterized by lesions on the skin and mucous membranes. To date, no spontaneous cases of this disease have been reported in cynomolgus monkeys. This report describes the histopathological characteristics of spontaneous pemphigus in a cynomolgus monkey. Macroscopically, redness and scaling with pruritus were observed on the skin of the entire body. Histopathologically, the epidermis showed intercellular edema, and eosinophils and mononuclear cells infiltrated the epidermis. There was no obvious acantholysis in the epidermis. The perivascular area showed edema, and eosinophils and mononuclear cells infiltrated the vessels in the dermis. Immunohistochemically, the intercellular area in the epidermis was positive for Immunoglobulin G and Complement component 3. Serologically, anti-desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 antibodies in the serum were negative. From these findings, this case was diagnosed as an autoimmune skin disease, suspected to be pemphigus, and concluded as lesions being similar to those in human “pemphigus herpetiformis”.  相似文献   

An electrophoretic study of esterase and peroxidase isozymes in Brassicoraphanus     

M. Kato  S. Tokumasu 《Euphytica》1979,28(2):339-349

Summary A comparative electrophoretic study of esterase and peroxidase isozymes from the leaves of Brassicoraphanus and its parental species (Brassica japonica and Raphanus sativus) was carried out by means of the polyacrylamide gel isoelectrofocusing technique. The isozyme bands of Brassicoraphanus could be regarded as a summation of parent-derived bands, some of which were missing, in addition to some new bands. The qualitative and quantitative variation of isozyme patterns among individual plants was found within each strain of Brassicoraphanus as well as each parental species. The range of the enzymatic variation of a certain strain seemed to reflect the genetic homogeneity of the strain in question. Every strain of Brassicoraphanus was less variable in esterase patterns than the parental species, but in peroxidase patterns the variations of Brassicoraphanus were intermediate between those of both parents. Some strains of Brassicoraphanus were uniform in isozyme patterns, whereas others were variable. The difference in enzymatic variation among strains was perhaps due to the difference in the source of the strains and the selection which they received.  相似文献   

Starch Characteristics of the Rice Mutant du2‐2 Taichung 65 Highly Affected by Environmental Temperatures During Seed Development

The effects of environmental temperature (21 vs. 28°C) during rice seed development on the starch characteristics (apparent amylose content, amylopectin chain length distribution, and gelatinization properties) of nonwaxy Taichung 65 (T65), waxy Taichung (T65wx), du2‐2 mutated low‐amylose strain Taichung (76‐3/T65), and Koshihikari were studied. Amylose contents increased with decreasing environmental temperatures. Analysis of the amylopectin chain length distribution showed that the relative amounts of long chains with degree of polymerization (DP) > 25 in all starches decreased if maturation occurred at 21°C. Gelatinization onset, peak, and conclusion temperatures and enthalpies decreased with decreasing environmental temperatures. Of all starches studied, the du2‐2 mutated low‐amylose Taichung (76‐3/T65) was most affected by maturation temperatures. These results indicate that the du2‐2 mutated low‐amylose Taichung (76‐3/T65) may be a useful strain in understanding biochemical and genetic starch biosynthesis response to slight changes in temperature.  相似文献

Clistobothrium sp. (Cestoda: Tetraphyllidea) in oarfish (Regalecus russelii) stranded on the coast of Akita Prefecture, Japan     

Haruyuki HIRATA  Yuki MIBE  Koji ONO  Satsuki SHIZUNO  Kazuyuki SUZUKI  Mitsuhiko ASAKAWA 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2021,83(10):1590

Oarfish (Regalecus russelii Cuvier) are mesopelagic fish with little known about their life history. Oarfish live in deep water, making it difficult for researchers to collect specimens; thus, records of their parasitic helminths are limited. Two plerocercoids were found for the first time in an oarfish stranded on the coast of Akita Prefecture, Japan. These plerocercoids were identified as Clistobothrium sp. RR-1 using morphological and molecular analyses. It was revealed that oarfish represent one of the intermediate hosts of the genus Clistobothrium, and large sharks are the definitive hosts for these parasites.  相似文献   

Detection of Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean cryptic species on soybean in São Paulo and Paraná States (Brazil) and interaction of cowpea mild mottle virus with whiteflies

Since the detection of Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) species in Brazil in the early 1990s, this whitefly has been the predominant species and the main viral vector in the country. In this work, whiteflies were collected from commercial soybean fields near and far from greenhouses where Mediterranean (MED) species had previously been detected infesting vegetable crops. Results indicated that MEAM1 was the predominant whitefly species in soybean in most sampling sites, while MED was found colonizing soybean plants in open field conditions alone and/or with MEAM1 in several places. Among the tested insects, MED species was mostly detected harbouring the facultative endosymbiont Hamiltonella. We also detected cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) infecting soybean plants. Transmission assays demonstrated that MED species was more efficient transmitting CPMMV from beans to beans and from soybean to soybean plants than MEAM1, while MEAM1 was more efficient in transmitting the virus from soybean to bean than MED. Performance assays indicated that adult emergence of both species on CPMMV-infected soybean plants was higher when compared with the emergence on healthy plants. Moreover, nonviruliferous MED and MEAM1 adults preferred to settle more often on healthy plants, while viruliferous adults settled more often on CPMMV-infected soybean plants. As MED has already been found in soybean open fields in São Paulo and Paraná States, Brazil, and it is a good vector of CPMMV, we anticipate problems related to whitefly management and to increase in the incidence of the virus in soybean.  相似文献   

Phytotoxic activity of Chinese violet (Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson) and two phytotoxic substances     

Masahiko Suzuki  M. A. Chozin  Arihiro Iwasaki  Kiyotake Suenaga  Hisashi Kato‐Noguchi 《Weed Biology and Management》2019,19(1):3-8

Chinese violet (Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson) is a perennial invasive weed belonging to Acanthaceae. Leaves of this weed have been suggested to possess phytotoxic activity. However, phytotoxic substances in this weed have not yet been reported. Therefore, the present study investigated phytotoxic activity of Chinese violet extracts and phytotoxic substances. The extracts of Chinese violet leaves inhibited the root and shoot growth of cress, lettuce, alfalfa, barnyard grass, ryegrass, and timothy, where the level of inhibition increased with increasing extract concentrations. Bioassay‐guided separations of the extracts led to isolation of two phytotoxic substances, indole‐3‐carboxaldehyde and (6R,9S)‐3‐oxo‐α‐ionol. Indole‐3‐carboxaldehyde significantly inhibited the root and shoot growth of cress at concentrations ≥100 and 30 μmol L^?1, respectively, and concentrations of the substance required for 50% growth inhibition were 210 and 127 μmol L^?1 for cress roots and shoots, respectively. The other substance, (6R,9S)‐3‐oxo‐α‐ionol, was reported to have strongly inhibited cress roots and shoots. The present results suggest that Chinese violet contains two phytotoxic substances indole‐3‐carboxaldehyde and (6R,9S)‐3‐oxo‐α‐ionol, and those substances may play an important role in the phytotoxic activity of Chinese violet.  相似文献
