The aim of the present study was to compare the ability of the commercially available portable test system (PTSTM) to detect endotoxin activity in bovine serum, with that of the traditional LAL-kinetic turbidimetric (KT) and chromogenic (KC) assays. Prior to testing, serum samples, which were obtained from endotoxin-challenged cattle, were diluted 1:20 in endotoxin-free water and heated to 80°C for 10 min. The performance of the PTSTM was not significantly different from that of the traditional LAL-based assays. The results using PTSTM correlated with those using KT (r2=0.963, P<0.001) or KC assays (r2=0.982, P<0.001). Based on these findings, the PTSTM could be applied as a simplified system to assess endotoxin activity in bovine serum. 相似文献

Embryos obtained via superovulation are necessary for mammalian artificial reproduction, and viability is a key determinant of success. Nonfreezing storage at 4 C is possible, but currently used storage solutions can maintain embryo viability for only 24–48 h. Here we found that 10 mg/ml antifreeze protein (AFP) dissolved in culture medium 199 with 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 25 mM HEPES could keep bovine embryos alive for 10 days at 4 C. We used a recombinant AFP isolated from the notched-fin eelpout (Zoarces elongatus Kner). Photomicroscopy indicated that the AFP–embryo interaction was enhanced at 37 C. Embryos pre-warmed with the AFP solution at 37 C for 60 min maintained high viability, whereas those that were not pre-warmed could live no longer than 7 days. Thus, short-term storage of bovine embryos was achieved by a combination of AFP-containing medium and controlled pre-warming. 相似文献

An experiment is made to detect the land-cover change in the area located to the south of Aksu in the northern Taklimakan desert through analyses of satellite data pixel by pixel basis. The analyzed data are those observed in the late summer and early autumn of 1973, 1977, 1993 and 1995. As a parameter of land-cover, SAVI (Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index) derived from the data of Landsat MSS and JERS-1 OPS (Optical Sensor) is used. The result indicates the increase of vegetation in the oasis areas, confluent area of the Yarkant and Kashgar Rivers and around reservoirs while little change occurs in the desert area. The 1973 satellite image shows the abundant flow in the Yarkant River while the river is almost dried up in the satellite images of later years. The trend of the decrease in the Hotan River flow is recognized although not so dramatic as that of the Yarkant River. 相似文献

Oxidative stress owing to an imbalance between reactive oxygen species and antioxidants, such as coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is a major contributor to male infertility. We investigated the effects of the reduced form of CoQ10 (ubiquinol) supplementation on semen quality in dogs with poor semen quality. Three dogs received 100 mg of ubiquinol orally once daily for 12 weeks. Semen quality, serum testosterone, and seminal plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were examined at 2-week intervals from 2 weeks before ubiquinol supplementation to 4 weeks after the treatment. Ubiquinol improved sperm motility, reduced morphologically abnormal sperm, and increased seminal plasma SOD activity; however, it had no effect on testosterone level, semen volume, and sperm number. Ubiquinol supplementation could be used as a non-endocrine therapy for infertile dogs. 相似文献

We determined nearly the complete sequences of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) for Japanese strains of R. solanacearum. The comparison of 1471 nucleotide positions separated the Japanese strains into two groups, group 1 with biovars 1, 2, 3
and 4 strains which belonged to race 1, and group 2 with biovar 2 strains corresponding to race 3. Group 1 strains all had
identical sequences, and strains representing the four biovars within the group did not differ from each other. Group 2 strains
had characteristic nucleotides which differed at seven positions from group 1 strains. Comparative analysis of Japanese and
foreign strains based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that Japanese group 1 was closely related to Asian and Australian biovars
3, 4 and 5, and belonged to the known division 1. Japanese group 2 was homogeneous to Indonesian biovars 2 and N2 in subdivision
2b. Since the differences in the nucleotides corresponded to restriction sites for the AluI, RFLP analysis of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA efficiently differentiated not only Japanese group 1 from group 2, but also differentiated
three types of foreign strains which differed in biovar and geographic origin.

The present study evaluated
the effects of single-dose marbofloxacin in protecting horses against fever associated
with transportation using 48 healthy Thoroughbreds. All horses were premedicated with
interferon-α (0.5 U/kg, sublingually, every 24 hr) for 2 days before transportation and on
the day of transportation. Horses were randomly assigned to receive marbofloxacin (2
mg/kg, IV, once; MRFX group), enrofloxacin (5 mg/kg, IV, once; ERFX group) or saline (0.9%
NaCl) solution (10 ml, IV, once; control group) ≤1 hr before being
transportation. Each group contained 16 horses (8 males, 8 females). Horses were
transported 1,210 km using commercial vans over the course of approximately 26 hr.
Clinical examinations and hematologic analyses were performed on all horses both before
and after transportation. Post-transportation neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios were
significantly lower in horses in the MRFX group compared with the control horses. The
serum amyloid A levels were significantly lower in horses in the MRFX group and ERFX group
compared with the control horses. Regarding the post-transportation rectal temperatures,
fever was detected in 0 horses and 1 horse in the MRFX and ERFX groups, respectively,
whereas fevers exceeding 39.1°C were detected in 2 horses in the control group.
Additionally, the number of essential post-transportation treatments provided by
veterinarians was reduced 3-fold in the MRFX and ERFX groups compared with the saline
group. MRFX provided ERFX-like protection against fever associated with long-distance
transportation, yielding significantly better protection than saline. Administration of
MRFX just before transportation deserves a further study for efficacy in preventing horse
fever associated with transportation. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to compare endotoxin activities detected in raw milk
samples obtained from cattle by a commercially available portable test system (PTS) and
traditional microplate limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL)-based assay, which determined
activities using a kinetic turbidimetric (KT) assay. Raw milk samples were obtained from
53 and 12 dairy cattle without and with clinical mastitis, respectively. Comparison
between the KT and PTS was performed by the Friedman test. The Pearson product moment
correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate associations between any two
continuous variables. Linear regression model analysis was also performed to obtain the
equation describing the relationship between PTS and KT assay. The endotoxin activities
detected in 200- or 400-fold diluted milk samples were similar between PTS and KT assay,
whereas a significant difference was observed in 100-fold diluted milk
(P<0.001). The results obtained from 200-
(r2=0.778, P<0.001) and 400-fold diluted
milk samples (r2=0.945, P<0.001) using PTS
correlated with those using KT assay. The median milk endotoxin activities in
Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical mastitis cows were 0.655 and 11,523.5
EU/ml, respectively. The results of the present study suggest that PTS
as a simple and easy test to assess endotoxin activity in raw milk is efficient, simple
and reproducible. 相似文献

Erythrocytes were recently found to improve the early development of mice embryos by their antioxidant effect. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of erythrocytes on the in vitro development of bovine in vitro fertilized (IVF) embryos in medium supplemented with reactive oxygen species (ROS). IVF embryos were cultured in CR1aa medium supplemented with oxidizing agents, 0.5 mmol/L hypoxanthine and 0.01 U/mL xanthine oxidase (HX/XOD), in the presence and absence of erythrocytes (5 × 104, 5 × 105, 5 × 106 and 5 × 107 erythrocytes/mL). After 8 days, blastocysts were examined with a stereomicroscope. HX/XOD blocked development to the blastocyst stage (HX/XOD: 0%, control: 33%), but in the presence of both erythrocytes and HX/XOD, blastocyst development was restored to about one‐third to two‐thirds the normal rate (5 × 105 to 5 × 107 erythrocytes/mL: 12 to 23%). Furthermore, adding erythrocytes or erythrocyte hemolysate to medium without HX/XOD increased the blastocyst rate. These results suggest that the addition of erythrocytes can attenuate the detrimental effects of ROS on embryo development in bovine species as well as in mice. 相似文献

The pathogenic race of 59 cultures of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, a pathogen of bacterial leaf blight of rice, isolated from six locations in the inland mountainous area of Hiroshima Prefecture
in 1999, were determined by a set of traditional differentials. Four races—I, II, V and VII—were found across the area; however,
we noticed the composition of the races as well as the dominant race in each location different. All races were avirulent
on differential cultivar Te-tep. Races V and VII were new to Hiroshima. The rice cultivars infected with bacterial leaf blight
in Hiroshima are thought to be grouped into the Kinmaze group, which does not have any resistance genes. Apparently, a variety
of races occurred unexpectedly on the cultivars contrary to stabilizing selection theory.
