Therapeutic effect of anti-TNF-alpha antibody and levofloxacin (LVFX) in a mouse model of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 infection     

Isogai E  Isogai H  Hirose K  Kubota T  Kimura K  Fujii N  Hayashi S  Takeshi K  Oguma K 《Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases》2001,24(4):217-231

The ability of an anti-TNF-alpha antibody to confer protection against enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 was investigated in germfree IQI mice. The use of an antibiotic levofloxacin (LVFX) alone or with the antibody was also studied. Protection included an increase in survival rate. Treatment with the anti-TNF-alpha antibody inhibited the histological signs associated with EHEC infection but did not prevent the colonization of EHEC or production of Shiga toxin (Stx). No clinical signs were observed and EHEC was completely eliminated in the mouse model receiving both anti-TNF-alpha antibody and LVFX. Anti-TNF-alpha antibody suppressed inflammatory cytokine response in the mouse kidney and brain by EHEC infection.  相似文献   

Silicon content in rice seedlings to protect rice blast fungus at the nursery stage   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Tsuyoshi Hayasaka  Hiroshi Fujii  Tsuneo Namai 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2005,71(3):169-173

To control rice blast effectively at the nursery stage, the absolute SiO₂ content necessary for rice plants to resist blast disease was investigated using various rice cultivars and soils. Nine rice cultivars with different complete resistance genes and different degrees of partial resistance were grown on nursery soils amended with silica gel at different rates to change the SiO₂ content of rice plant. The rice seedlings were then inoculated 28 days after sowing with Pyricularia grisea to estimate their blast resistance. In all rice cultivars, the number of lesions was significantly reduced when SiO₂ content increased in the rice seedling; lesions were reduced to 5%–20% of the number on the seedlings grown in soil without silica gel when the seedling SiO₂ content reached 5%. Additionally, the susceptibility to blast disease of rice seedlings grown on eight soils collected from different districts, with varying amounts of silica gel, was compared. The number of lesions decreased significantly when the SiO₂ content in the seedlings reached 5%. These results suggest that SiO₂ content of at least 5% in the rice plant can control this disease at the nursery stage under any conditions.  相似文献   

Genetic relationships between the dominant genotypes of Phytophthora infestans in Hokkaido, Japan     

Seishi Akino  Masayasu Kato  Kiyotaka Gotoh  Shigeo Naito  Akira Ogoshi 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2005,71(3):200-203

The genetic characteristics of the dominant genotypes of Phytophthora infestans in Japan (US-1, JP-1, Japanese A1-A, A1-B) were compared. Differences were evident in the peptidase genotype, amplified fragment length polymorphism, and RG57 DNA fingerprints. Almost all of the fingerprint bands for the Japanese genotype A1-B were also present in JP-1 and Japanese A1-A, and few bands were unique to Japanese A1-B. These results suggest that the Japanese A1-B genotype was generated from sexual reproduction involving Japanese A1-A and JP-1 or related genotypes.  相似文献   

Mitotic disruption by a novel pyrimidine herbicide, NS-245852, in oat (Avena sativa L.) roots

The effects of a novel pyrimidine herbicide, NS-245852 [2-chloro-6-fluorophenyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2-yl-ketone], on mitosis in oat ( Avena sativa L. cv. Zenshin) root tips were investigated by using light and immunofluorescence microscopy. The root growth was strongly inhibited at 10⁻⁷ mol L⁻¹ of NS-245852, and swollen root tips were induced at 5 × 10⁻⁸ mol L⁻¹. As observed by the use of light microscopy, the herbicide produced disrupted mitosis and large polynucleate cells in the meristematic root tissue. These symptoms were similar to those of mitotic disrupter herbicides. The immunofluorescence microscopy studies of the root tip cells treated for 30 min revealed that spindle fibers and the preprophase band were reduced, although kinetochore fibers and the phragmoplast were not affected. Kinetochore fibers remained as small fluorescence spots, and the phragmoplast disappeared after a 3 h treatment. No microtubule arrays were observed by a longer treatment (longer than 3 h). Among the microtubule arrays, spindle fibers and the preprophase band were found to be the most sensitive to the herbicide, whereas kinetochore fibers were the most resistant. The phragmoplast was intermediate. Thus, the primary action of NS-245852 is the inhibition of polymerization of tubulin into microtubules.  相似文献

Identification of endotrypanum species from a sloth,a squirrel and Lutzomyia sandflies in ecuador by PCR amplification and sequencing of the mini-exon gene     

Katakura K  Mimori T  Furuya M  Uezato H  Nonaka S  Okamoto M  Gomez L EA  Hashiguchi Y 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2003,65(5):649-653

PCR amplification and nucleotide sequencing of the mini-exon gene revealed that four strains isolated from a sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni), a squirrel (Sciurus granatensis) and two sandflies (Lutzomyia hartmanni) in Ecuador were indistinguishable from Endotrypanum monterogeii. Another strain isolated from Lu. hartmanni showed the high sequence similarity to E. schaudinni. Since three of these strains have been previously identified as Leishmania (Viannia) equatorensis, the results demonstrate that L. (V.) equatorensis is genetically closely related to the genus Endotrypanum. The present study also indicates that Endotrypanum species are distributed in arboreal animals and sandflies in Ecuador, and that mini-exon gene amplification is useful for epidemiological studies of Leishmania and Endotrypanum in the New World.  相似文献   

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability in dogs with mild mitral regurgitation     

Fujii Y  Wakao Y 《American journal of veterinary research》2003,64(2):145-148

OBJECTIVE: To assess autonomic function in dogs with mild mitral regurgitation (MR) that did not have clinical signs of the condition. ANIMALS: 6 healthy adult Beagles. PROCEDURE: Mild MR was experimentally induced. A 24-hour ambulatory ECG was recorded before and after induction of MR. Heart rate variability was analyzed in frequency domains by use of the ambulatory ECG. Low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) power were calculated by integrating over their frequency intervals, and the ratio of LF to HF was also calculated. Measurements of frequency domains were analyzed for 4 time periods (midnight to 6 AM, 6 AM to noon, noon to 6 PM, and 6 PM to midnight). RESULTS: Dogs with experimentally induced MR were classified as International Small Animal Cardiac Health Council class Ia. The HF power of dogs with MR was significantly decreased between 6 AM and noon. The ratio of LF to HF in dogs with MR was significantly increased for the periods between midnight and 6 AM, 6 AM and noon, and noon and 6 PM. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Compensatory response through autonomic modulation was observed in dogs with mild MR that did not have abnormalities, except for cardiac murmur, during clinical examination. This result suggests that treatment during the early stages of mild MR may be beneficial. Additional studies are necessary to determine whether such treatment will delay the onset of congestive heart failure and prolong survival in dogs affected with mild MR.  相似文献
