The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of concurrent measurement of
serum phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit (pNF-H) concentration and intramedullary
T2W hyperintensity in paraplegic to paraplegic dogs. Our hypothesis was that concurrent
measurement of these would provide a more accurate prediction of functional outcome in
dogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). A prospective case-control
clinical study was designed using 94 dogs with acute onset of thoracolumbar IVDH. The
association of serum pNF-H concentration, T2W hyperintensity on sagittal MRI (T2H/L2),
deep pain perception and surgical outcome were evaluated with logistic regression analysis
after three months for all 94 surgically treated dogs. Sensitivity to predict
non-ambulatory outcome was compared among pNF-H and T2H/L2 and combination of both.
Logistic regression analysis indicated that serum pNF-H concentration and T2H/L2 were
significantly correlated with surgical outcome (P<0.05); however, deep
pain perception was not (P=0.41). The results of logistic regression
analysis indicated that the odds ratios of unsuccessful long-term outcome were 2.6 for
serum pNF-H concentration, 1.9 for T2H/L2 and 2.3 for deep pain sensation. The sensitivity
and specificity to predict non-ambulatory outcome for using serum parameter pNF-H>2.6
ng/ml, using T2H/L2 value of>0.84 and using both
serum pNF-H and T2H/L2, were 95% and 75.7%, 65% and 86.5%, and 90.0% and 97.5%,
respectively. Therefore, combined measurements of serum pNF-H and T2H/L2 might be useful
for predicting long-term outcome in dogs with thoracolumbar IVDH. 相似文献

The activation of α2 adrenergic receptors contributes to analgesia not only in the central nervous system but also in the peripheral nervous system. We reported that noradrenaline inhibits the activity of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) evoked by capsaicin through α2 receptors in cultured rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. However, it is unclear whether activation of TRPV1 expressed in peripheral nerve terminals is inhibited by α2 receptors and whether this phenomenon contributes to analgesia. Therefore, we examined effects of clonidine, an α2 receptor agonist, on several types of nociceptive behaviors, which may be caused by TRPV1 activity, and subtypes of α2 receptors expressed with TRPV1 in primary sensory neurons in rats. Capsaicin injected into hind paws evoked nociceptive behaviors and clonidine preinjected into the same site inhibited capsaicin-evoked responses. This inhibition was not observed when clonidine was injected into the contralateral hind paws. Preinjection of clonidine into the plantar surface of ipsilateral, but not contralateral, hind paws reduced the sensitivity to heat stimuli. Clonidine partially reduced formalin-evoked responses when it was preinjected into ipsilateral hind paws. The expression level of α2C receptor mRNA quantified by real-time PCR was highest followed by those of α2A and α2B receptors in DRGs. α2A and α2C receptor-like immunoreactivities were detected with TRPV1-like immunoreactivities in the same neurons. These results suggest that TRPV1 and α2 receptors are coexpressed in peripheral nerve terminals and that the functional association between these two molecules causes analgesia. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether the population of lymphocytes expressing CD4 and CD8 molecules changed in the white follicles during atresia in chickens. Frozen sections of healthy, early atretic, advanced atretic and late atretic follicles were immunostained for CD4 and CD8, and the populations of positive cells were analyzed under a light microscope. In the healthy, early atretic and advanced atretic follicles both CD4+ and CD8+ cells were localized in the theca layer, but not in the granulosa layer. However, an influx of CD4+ and CD8+ cells was observed not only in the theca but also in the follicular cavity that was formed by disintegration of the oocyte in late atretic follicles. The frequency of CD4+ T cells in the theca layer did not differ among healthy, early atretic and advanced atretic follicles, but was significantly increased in the late atretic follicles (P < 0.05). The frequency of CD8+ cells showed a pattern of change that resembled that of CD4+ T cells, with a significantly greater population in late atretic follicles than the other follicles (P < 0.05). These results suggest that CD4+ and CD8+ cells are increased in the late atretic follicles, probably to promote the tissue regression. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the existence and structure of areolae and the
steroidogenesis of areolar trophoblast cells in the Antarctic minke whale placenta
morphologically and immunohistochemically. Placentas were collected from the 15th, 16th
and 18th Japanese Whale Research Program under Special Permit in the Antarctic (JARPA) and
1st JARPA II organized by the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo, Japan. The opening
and cavity of fetal areolae formed by taller columnar trophoblast cells (areolar
trophoblast cells) with long microvilli and a bright cytoplasm, as compared with the
trophoblast cells of the chorionic villi interdigitating with the endometrial crypts, were
recognized in observations of serial sections. The opening of the areolar cavity was
hidden by chorionic villi with areolar trophoblast cells. Furthermore, a closed pouch-like
structure lined by tall columnar cells similar to areolar trophoblast cells within the
stroma of chorionic villi was noticed and continued to the areolar cavity, with the
opening seen on serial sections. In a surface investigation of the chorion and endometrium
by SEM, maternal (endometrial) areolae irregularly surrounded by endometrial folds were
obvious. Moreover, we distinguished areolar trophoblast cells with long microvilli
attached with many blebs from trophoblast cells. In our immunohistochemical observations,
a steroidogenic enzyme, cytochrome P450 side chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc), was detected
with strong immunoreactivity in trophoblast cells. However, areolar trophoblast cells
showed weak or no immunoreactivity for P450scc. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of 10 walleye pollocks, Theragra chalcogramma , from the Japan Sea and Bering Sea was determined. The 16 568–16 571 bp genome contains the same 37 mitochondrial structural genes (two ribosomal RNA, 22 transfer RNA, and 13 protein-coding genes) as found in all other vertebrates analyzed, in an organization identical to that of other bony fish. The major non-coding region had several conserved sequence features. Nucleotide variations of ND1, ND5, and control region were high, and these regions appear to be good candidates for high-resolution markers in population studies. 相似文献

There are few reports describing the structure and function of the whale placenta with
the advance of pregnancy. In this study, therefore, the placenta and nonpregnant uterus of
the Antarctic minke whale were observed morphologically and immunohistochemically.
Placentas and nonpregnant uteri were collected from the 15th, 16th and 18th Japanese Whale
Research Programme with Special Permit in the Antarctic (JARPA) and 1st JARPA II organized
by the Institute of Cetacean Research in Tokyo, Japan. In the macro- and microscopic
observations, the placenta of the Antarctic minke whale was a diffuse and epitheliochorial
placenta. The chorion was interdigitated to the endometrium by primary, secondary and
tertiary villi, which contained no specialized trophoblast cells such as binucleate cells,
and the interdigitation became complicated with the progress of gestation. Furthermore,
fetal and maternal blood vessels indented deeply into the trophoblast cells and
endometrial epithelium respectively with fetal growth. The minke whale placenta showed a
fold-like shape as opposed to a finger-like shape. In both nonpregnant and pregnant uteri,
many uterine glands were distributed. The uterine glands in the superficial layer of the
pregnant endometrium had a wide lumen and large epithelial cells as compared with those in
the deep layer. On the other hand, in the nonpregnant endometrium, the uterine glands had
a narrower lumen and smaller epithelial cells than in the pregnant endometrium. In
immunohistochemical detection, immunoreactivity for P450scc was detected in most
trophoblast cells, but not in nonpregnant uteri, suggesting that trophoblast epithelial
cells synthesized and secreted the sex steroid hormones and/or their precursors to
maintain the pregnancy in the Antarctic minke whale. 相似文献

In several primates and carnivores, pronation/supination angles of the forearm skeleton were examined, and it is thought that a larger angle is useful to acquire dexterous behaviors in feeding and/or life style, including climbing. In this study, the pronation/supination angles in Asiatic black, brown and polar bears were nondestructively examined. These specimens were classified as adult or non-adult. Three or four carcasses of each group of Asiatic black and brown bears were used for CT analysis, whereas only one adult polar bear was used. The forearms were positioned within the gantry of a CT scanner in both maximally supinated and pronated states. Extracted cross-sectional CT images of two positions were superimposed by overlapping the outlines of each ulna. The centroids of the radii were detected, and then the centroid of each radius and the midpoint of a line which connects between both ends of the surface of each radius facing the ulna, were connected by lines to measure the angle of rotation as an index of pronation/supination. In adult brown and polar bears, the angles were smaller as compared with the other groups (Asiatic black and non-adult brown bears). Asiatic black and non-adult brown bears can climb trees, whereas adult brown bears and polar bears cannot. This suggests that the pronation/supination angle is related to arboreal activity in Ursidae. 相似文献

Lake Sinai virus (LSV), an RNA virus, is suspected to be associated with poor health in honeybees (Apis mellifera). We examined LSV in 26 specimens of healthy honeybees and 44 specimens of wild arthropods in the Gifu Prefecture, Japan. LSV was found more frequently in honeybee specimens (11/26, 42.3%) than in wild arthropod specimens (1/44, 2.3%) (P<0.01). Phylogenetic and nucleotide sequence analysis revealed two lineages: LSV3 in honeybees, and LSV4 in both honeybees and wild arthropods. To our knowledge, this is the first report of LSV prevalence in honeybees and wild arthropods in Japan. 相似文献
