A releaser pheromone that attracts methyltestosterone- treated immature fish in the urine of ovulated female rainbow trout     

Hidenobu Yambe  Fumio Yamazaki 《Fisheries Science》2001,67(2):214-220

SUMMARY: Behavioral experiments concerning a releaser pheromone in the urine of female rainbow trout were performed using immature fish administered orally with 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) during the non-spawning season. The urine was collected by catheter. The frequency of entries of test fish was recorded in each channel scented by test and control solutions in a Y-maze trough. The behavior of both MT-treated and control fish demonstrated that they could not discriminate the differences between distilled and environmental water as control solutions. There was also no difference between MT-treated and control fish when distilled and environmental water were introduced. The MT-treated immature fish were attracted to the channel scented by ovulated female urine. Neither coelomic fluid nor the immature female urine had any effect on the behavioral responses of MT-treated fish, while immature control fish had no preference for the urine of ovulated females. These results suggest in rainbow trout that ovulated female urine contains a releaser pheromone to attract mature males, and that androgens are involved in the sensory mechanisms detecting the releaser pheromone in fish.  相似文献   

Apocrine adenocarcinoma in a golden hamster.     

F Urayama  T Sato  H Shibuya  W Shirai  M Matsutani  R Yamazaki 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2001,63(11):1249-1252

An apocrine adenocarcinoma was observed in the subcutis of the abdomen of golden hamster. Histologically, the tumor cells irregularly formed multiple layers of cysts and some detached cells were presented in the cystic space. PAS stain with alpha-amylase digestion revealed PAS-positive alpha-amylase-resistant granules in the cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, cytokeratin was demonstrated in the tumor cells. By electron microscopy, the tumor cells had an oval nucleus with invagination, abundant cytoplasmic organelles and microvilli protruding into the intercellular spaces.  相似文献   

Mycobacterium avium infection through the alimentary tract in mice     

K Ueda  S Yamazaki  S Yamamoto 《Nippon juigaku zasshi. The Japanese journal of veterinary science》1989,51(3):505-514

Intestinal infection by Mycobacterium avium was investigated in C57BL/6 and BALB/c mouse strains. Single intragastric administration of a massive dose (10(8] or multiple administration of a lower dose (10(7), 10 times) established infection principally in the mesenteric lymph-node (MLN); a continuous or intermittent fecal excretion of the bacilli was detected by 6-8 weeks after the administration. Based on three criteria--isolation of the organisms from the MLN and from feces, and detection of acid-fast bacilli in sections of the MLN--germ-free (GF) BALB/c mice exhibited clearer dose-effect relations than the flora-bearing (FB) counterparts. After intragastric administration, the organisms were probably trapped in the Peyer's patch and then transferred to the MLN at an early period (by 4-7 days), persistent infection thus being established in the MLN. Systemic involvement evolved both in athymic and euthymic mice after a prolonged period of time (more than 40 weeks) showing far more severe involvement in the former regardless of the presence of floral organisms.  相似文献

Identification of the core rumen bacterial taxa and their population dynamics during the fattening period in Japanese Black cattle

The rumen microbiota comprises a vast range of bacterial taxa, which may affect the production of high-quality meat in Japanese Black cattle. The aim of this study was to identify core rumen microbiota in rumen fluid samples collected from 74 Japanese Black cattle raised under different dietary conditions using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. In the rumen of fattening Japanese Black cattle, 10 bacterial taxa, showing >1% average relative abundance and >95% prevalence, irrespective of the dietary conditions and the fattening periods, were identified as the core rumen bacterial taxa, which accounted for approximately 80% of the rumen microbiota in Japanese Black cattle. Additionally, population dynamics of the core rumen bacterial taxa revealed two distinct patterns: Prevotella spp. and unclassified Bacteroidales decreased in the mid-fattening period, whereas unclassified Clostridiales, unclassified Ruminococcaceae, Ruminococcus spp., and unclassified Christensenellaceae increased during the same period. Therefore, the present study reports the wide distribution of the core rumen bacterial taxa in Japanese Black cattle, and the complementary nature of the population dynamics of these core taxa, which may ensure stable rumen fermentation during the fattening period.  相似文献   

Effects of atelocollagen gel containing bone marrow-derived stromal cells on repair of osteochondral defect in a dog     

Yamazoe K  Mishima H  Torigoe K  Iijima H  Watanabe K  Sakai H  Kudo T 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2007,69(8):835-839

To clarify the contribution of autologous transplantation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), an atelocollagen gel containing or not containing fluorescently-labeled canine MSCs was transplanted into an osteochondral defect which did not repair spontaneously and the histological repair of the defect was compared. Although an early repair of the cartilage was not observed in either defect, the reproduction of subchondral bone was remarkable in the MSCs-implanted defect. Moreover, in 2 weeks after operation, the implanted MSCs were located in the deeper regions of the defect, suggesting the differentiation of osteoblasts. There was a possibility that the movement of the implanted MSCs was due to an increase in intra-articular pressure from postoperative inflammation.  相似文献

Molecular dynamics of heterochromatin protein 1beta, HP1beta, during mouse preimplantation development     

Yamazaki T  Kobayakawa S  Yamagata K  Abe K  Baba T 《The Journal of reproduction and development》2007,53(5):1035-1041

To elucidate the molecular dynamics of HP1beta in mouse preimplantation embryos, we examined the localization, dynamics, and mobility of HP1beta in the (pro)nucleus by live cell imaging. Time-lapse observation revealed that the chromatin association of HP1beta is regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner. HP1beta was localized in the interphase nucleus and was dynamically dissociated from the nucleus during the metaphase stage. The HP1beta assembly and clustered heterochromatin structure were both found in the nuclei of 2-cell and later-stage embryos. Moreover, fluorescent recovery after photobleaching analysis implied that HP1beta is more freely mobile in the pronucleus of the 1-cell embryo than in the 4-cell nucleus. These results suggest that the chromatin configuration may be regulated by the stability and mobility of chromatin-associated proteins including HP1beta during early embryonic stages.  相似文献
