Effect of Illuminance Transition Rate on Survival of Juvenile Pacific Bluefin Tuna,Thunnus orientalis     

Tomoki Honryo  Michio Kurata  Tokihiko Okada  Yoshifumi Sawada  Yasunori Ishibashi 《Journal of the World Aquaculture Society》2014,45(5):523-531

To investigate the reason for the high mortality of cultured juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT), especially during land‐based culture, we examined the effect of the rate of light‐intensity change during the dawn period. Juvenile PBT kept in a natural light environment (control) were compared with those exposed to an artificially slowed change in light intensity during the dawn period (test group). For the test group, lamps, which were connected to automatic timers and placed above the rearing tank, were switched on from 0345 to 0515 h at 15‐min intervals. After 9 d, the survival rate of the test and control group was identical. Between Day 1 and Day 6, whole‐body cortisol levels were not different between groups. However, whole‐body glucose levels in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group. Both groups displayed a diel rhythm in plasma cortisol concentration that peaked at 0300–0600 h. These results suggest that slowing the increase in light intensity during the dawn period did not improve survival and that low light intensity itself induces high mortality in cultured PBT juveniles.  相似文献

Cu、Cd、Pb、Zn、As复合污染对灯心草的生理毒性效应   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

孙健  铁柏清  钱湛  杨佘维  毛晓茜  赵婷  罗荣  青山勋 《土壤》2007,39(2):279-285

通过盆栽试验,以现行土壤环境质量标准为浓度设置依据并结合实际污染土壤研究了不同处理水平的Cu、Cd、Pb、Zn、As5种重金属复合污染对灯心草生长、叶绿素含量及保护酶系统的影响。实验结果表明:5种重金属复合污染对灯心草地上部生长有一定程度的抑制作用,在土壤环境质量二级标准上限值处灯心草地上部生物量减产9.15%,<10%,但地下部生物量减产趋势不明显。复合重金属污染抑制灯心草的光合作用使叶绿素含量减少、叶绿素a/b值降低。在接近土壤环境质量标准低浓度设计范围内,灯心草3种保护酶有逐渐被激活的趋势,表现出一定的协调性共同抵制重金属的毒害。但在高浓度处理水平下,酶活性遭到抑制。生长在矿毒水和铅锌尾矿污染土壤中的灯心草地上部生物量分别下降28.23%和37.1%,但POD、SOD和CAT3种酶活性均高于对照。通过应用综合生态环境效益法,以灯心草为指示植物可以将土壤环境质量二级标准上限值设定为土壤中5种重金属的临界毒性效应值。  相似文献   

Quantitative analysis of the optic nerve of the horse (Thoroughbred)     

Guo X  Aoyama M  Sugita S 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2001,63(9):971-975

Three optic nerves (L1, R2, R3) 12-18 mm behind the eyeball of the horse (Thoroughbred) were investigated quantitatively under light and electron microscopes. Thin sections at the thickness of 0.35 microm were cut, stained by toluidine blue and observed under the light microscope. The areas of the optic nerve and the axon bundles were 20.03 +/- 1.04 and 16.59 +/- 0.79 mm2 (mean +/- SD, n=3), respectively. The axon numbers for optic nerve L1, R2 and R3, estimated from light micrographs, were about 481 x 10(3), 543 x 10(3), and 494 x 10(3), respectively. Axons of optic nerve L1 were also counted from electron micrographs and the total number of 488 x 10(3) was received. Furthemore, axon diameters of optic nerve L1 were also measured from electron micrographs. The diameter of a circle with the same peripheral length as an axon, was regarded as its diameter. The medullary sheath of the axon was not included during measuring. Altogether 5,744 axons were measured and axon diameters were in a range of 0.23-12.69 microm, with a mean of 2.56 +/- 1.45 microm (mean +/- SD). A regional difference of axonal diameters was found across the optic nerve: the mean diameter of axons in the centrodorsal region (2.28 microm) was the smallest, and had significant difference with those in several peripheral regions (P<0.05).  相似文献   

Electrocorticographic and histological findings in a Shetland sheepdog with intractable epilepsy     

Hasegawa D  Fujita M  Nakamura S  Takahashi K  Orima H 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2002,64(3):277-279

A Shetland sheepdog with epilepsy refractory to antiepileptic drugs was brought to the division of Veterinary Radiology at Nippon Veterinary and Animal Science University. Scalp electroencephalography and computed tomography was performed, but no abnormality was detected in either examination. To obtain detailed information, electrodes were implanted on the dura mater, and the electrocorticogram (ECoG) was recorded. In the ECoG, sporadic spikes were detected in the left parietal region, suggesting the presence of the epileptic focus in this region. After the dog's death, abnormalities of gyri were found in the region where spikes were detected in the ECoG. On histopathological examination, laminar malacia of the cingulate gyrus was observed. Furthermore, in the hippocampus, neuronal loss of pyramidal cells was observed.  相似文献   

Secondary chronic respiratory acidosis in a dog following the cervical cord compression by an intradural glioma     

Hara Y  Nezu Y  Harada Y  Hasegawa D  Fujita M  Orima H  Tagawa M 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2002,64(9):863-866

An intradural tumor in the upper cervical region was found in a dog with quadriparesis and chronic respiratory acidosis. Surgical removal of the tumor in the atlas and intraoperative radiotherapy were attempted. The tumor was histologically diagnosed as a neural glioma. A preoperative acid-base disturbance was dramatically improved after surgery. The clinical changes appeared in this case suggest that compression of the spinal cord at this region may cause paralysis of the respiratory muscles and secondarily result in chronic respiratory acidosis following the respiratory insufficiency.  相似文献

Antifeedant activity of flavonoids and related compounds against the subterranean termiteCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki     

Wakako Ohmura  Shuichi Doi  Masakazu Aoyama  Sciji Ohara 《Journal of Wood Science》2000,46(2):149-153

Antifeedant activity of some flavonoids and their related compounds against the subterranean termiteCoptotermes formosanus Shiraki was examined with nochoice tests and two-choice tests. The activities of these compounds were evaluated in relation to their chemical structures. All flavonoids tested showed antifeedant activity, whereas catechinic acid, possessing no A-ring or pyran ring in the molecule, showed feeding-preference activity. For the structure-activity relations, it was found that compounds containing two hydroxyl groups at C-5 and C-7 in A-rings showed high antifeedant activity. Furthermore, the presence of a carbonyl group at C-4 in the pyran rings of the compounds was necessary for the occurrence of high activity. 3-Hydroxyflavones and 3-hydroxyflavanones with 3,4-dihydroxylated B-rings exhibited higher activity than those with 4-hydroxylated B-rings.Part of this paper was presented at the 49th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Tokyo, April 1999  相似文献   

Sorption of Cr(VI) on the wood of Japanese larch treated with concentrated sulfuric acid     

Masakazu Aoyama  Shingo Saito  Masaaki Tagami 《Journal of Wood Science》2007,53(6):545-549

A carbonaceous sorbent was prepared from the wood of Japanese larch (Larix leptolepis) by dehydration with concentrated sulfuric acid in a 69% yield. The abilities of the sorbent to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions were investigated. Research parameters included the initial solution pH, temperature, and initial concentration of Cr(VI) in solution. The removal of Cr(VI) was highly solution pH dependent and was mainly governed by physicochemical sorption under weak acidic conditions. The equilibrium data fit well in the Langmuir isotherm model. The Langmuir constants were calculated at different temperatures, and the sorption capacity increased with rising temperature, indicating the endothermic nature of the Cr(VI) sorption onto the sorbent. The desorption experiments suggest that the Cr(VI) sorption is generally irreversible, owing to strong interaction of HCrO ₄ ⁻ with the active sites of the sorbent.  相似文献
