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

Babesia rodhaini is a rodent hemoparasite closely related to B. microti, the major causative agent of human babesiosis. We tested the infectivity of B. rodhaini for human erythrocytes by using the SCID mouse model in which the circulating erythrocytes were replaced with those of humans. Initially, parasites grew very poorly in the mouse model, but a variant capable of propagating in human erythrocytes emerged after an adaptation period of three weeks. In an attempt to identify parasite proteins involved in the alteration of host cell preference, an expression cDNA library of B. rodhaini was constructed and screened with immune mouse sera. Although we were able to obtain three merozoite surface protein (MSP) genes, sequences of these genes from both the parental strain and human erythrocyte-adapted substrain were identical. Our results suggest that B. rodhaini has potential ability to infect human erythrocytes, but development of this ability may not be brought about by an amino acid change in MSPs. 相似文献

A cat with acute myeloblastic leukemia without maturation (M1) treated with combination chemotherapy

A 2-year-old domestic shorthair cat was presented to us with decreased activity and anorexia. Hematologic findings revealed a mild non-regenerative anemia, thrombocytopenia, and leukocytosis with an increase in blast cells. Bone marrow aspirates also revealed a marked increase of blasts. The blastic cells were shown to be positive for peroxidase. Acute myeloblastic leukemia without maturation (M1) was diagnosed according to the FAB classification. Chemotherapy was initiated with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone, and cytosine arabinoside. The cat responded partially. In total, the cats were given 7 blood transfusions. The cat died 14 weeks after first being presented to us. 相似文献

Di-hydroxyl-terminated xylan butyrate (XylBu) with two hydroxyl end groups at opposite ends of the polymer was prepared by acid hydrolysis of XylBu. l-Lactide was polymerized on to the hydroxyl groups at both ends of XylBu, by ring opening. Structural characterization of the polymerization products was carried out using GPC and NMR analyses. It was confirmed that the polymerization products were mixtures of a poly(l-lactide) (PLLA)-b-XylBu-b-poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) triblock copolymer and PLLA homopolymer. Crystallization behaviors of the polymerization products were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry measurements and polarizing optical microscopy observation to investigate the effects of the triblock copolymer on crystallization of PLLA components. 相似文献

Sequence analysis based on the anterior part of the mitochondrial DNA control region was carried out to reveal the genetic diversity, stock structure, and historical demography of the red tilefish. Nucleotide sequences of 388 bp in length were determined for 280 individuals taken from eight localities. The molecular diversity, haplotype diversity, and nucleotide diversity were relatively high (average h = 0.929 ± 0.011; average π = 0.008 ± 0.005). The mismatch distribution was not significantly different from the expected distribution for a rapidly expanding population (P = 0.453). The minimum spanning network connecting with full-sequence haplotypes contained star-like topologies derived from multiple ancient lineages, supporting the mismatch distribution analysis. No significant genetic differentiation was observed among eight localities (maximum pairwise F ST = 0.023, reduced-sequence data set). Our results suggest a large panmictic population of the red tilefish along the coast of Honshu to the East China Sea. 相似文献

This study investigated the number of adults ofPlatypus quercivorus (Murayama) captured on host oak (Quercus spp.) trees, the attack density (the number of entry holes per 100 cm2), and the number of emerging adults to clarify the relationships between the beetle’s colonization on trees in oak stands
and tree mortality. The initial attack ofP. quercivorus, which was the most intense attack, was observed on most living trees simultaneously. Although some attacked trees died within
the year of the attack or in the next year, a high density of attack did not usually cause the death of host trees. Surviving
trees suffered low levels of consecutive attack after the initial attack. BecauseP. quercivorus successfully produced broods only in the dead trees, the population of the insect seems to be maintained only in stands where
oak mortality occurs. However, the adults that landed on most of the surviving trees appeared unable to reproduce probably
due to degradation of host quality. Thus, oak mortality probably ceases within 3 or 4 years after the start of infestation
in a stand, with subsequent reductions in population density of the borer. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: To investigate the changes in maternal effects during early development in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus , four-by-four factorial mating by artificial fertilization was performed to produce 16 families. Larvae and juveniles of each family were reared under common environmental conditions until completion of metamorphosis. The magnitude of maternal effects was estimated as the differences between sire and dam variance. Maternal effects were highest at hatching, and then disappeared at 30 days after hatching. During early development, larval size at hatching was largely affected by egg size, but this effect decreased as larvae grew. Estimated mean heritability during early development was nearly constant (0.14 ± 0.06 for total length and 0.10 ± 0.05 for body depth). Therefore, it is suggested that early development in Japanese flounder is affected by both maternal effect and genetic factors. 相似文献

Flatfishes display a left–right asymmetry that is unique in the animal kingdom. In order to clarify the mechanisms of the
asymmetrical development of pigment cells, changes in pigment cell densities were examined in Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. During development from symmetrical larvae to asymmetrical juveniles, pigment cell densities were monitored on the skin
on both the left side (ocular side in juvenile; eventually has two eyes) and the right side (blind side in juvenile; eventually
has no eyes). A symmetrical and constant decrease was observed in leucophores and larval type melanophores. A mostly symmetrical
(slightly delayed on the blind side) and constant increase in iridophores from metamorphosis was observed. Adult-type melanophores
appeared and then increased only after metamorphosis on the ocular side. However, the pattern of xanthophores was complicated:
they first existed symmetrically and decreased symmetrically until metamorphosis, and they later increased only on the ocular
side. The dual appearance of the xanthophores, as well as the differences between their depths and sizes on the ocular and
blind sides, may suggest the presence of two types of xanthophores—just as melanophores are well known to exhibit two types.
The ontogenetic study of pigment cells described here is likely to help to elucidate the process of abnormal pigmentation
in flatfishes. 相似文献
