Abundant populations of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in North America have altered the structure of some forest communities and caused serious conflicts with farmers, gardeners, and motorists, encouraging the search for novel techniques to control populations of deer and other wildlife. We administered the porcine zona pellucida (PZP) immunocontraceptive vaccine to female white-tailed deer living on the 233-ha campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. Although some tested PZP preparations proved more effective than others, the number of fawns produced per female was significantly lower in treated than untreated females. Following the onset of contraceptive treatments, the population declined by an average of 7.9% per year, and population declines were larger following years when a higher proportion of females was treated. High mortality due largely to deer-vehicle collisions and low population fertility associated with high deer densities facilitated the observed population decline. 相似文献

This study investigated the storage of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in the biomass, bed sediments and water column of representative reaches of a sub-tropical river, the upper Brisbane River (UBR), Queensland, Australia, and contrasted instream storage with total wet season exports. In reaches which contained accumulated fine sediments, more than 87% of total P and between 50% and 92% of total N were stored in the surface sediments. The lower proportion of N in sediment at some sites was attributed to substantial differences in the N/P ratios of sediments and macrophytes. At one site, the riverbed was dominated by cobbles and boulders and total nutrient stocks were comparatively low and dominated by the biomass. In reaches with a narrow channel and intact riparian cover, biomass N and P were stored predominately in leaf litter, while in wider unshaded reaches, macrophytes dominated. Total instream storage in the mid to lower reaches of the UBR was ??50.9 T for N and ??18.1 T for P. This was considerably higher than total wet season N (??15.6 T) and P (??2.7 T) exports from the UBR. The first flow event in the river after a prolonged period of no flow resulted in the export of free-floating, emergent species Azolla. The estimated biomass of Azolla in the mid to lower reaches of the river was equivalent to approximately 24% and 9% of the total N and P flux, indicating that this may be a significant, previously unaccounted for, source at peak flow. 相似文献

This report outlines two cases of ptyalism that were not associated with oral conditions or primary dysphagia. The first, a 9-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, was associated with left-sided peripheral vestibular disease and bone modelling around the left tympanic bulla. The second, a 7-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, was associated with progressive bilateral laryngeal paralysis and a mediastinal T-cell lymphoma. In Case 1, a neurological pathophysiology was proposed involving altered autonomic innervation of the salivary glands; whilst in Case 2, the mechanism remains unclear but may have involved mechanical compression of the intrathoracic oesophagus or stimulation of afferents within the vagus nerve. This case series highlights rare causes of ptyalism that have not been previously reported in the literature. 相似文献

Mechanism of the superoxide scavenging activity of neoandrographolide - a natural product from Andrographis paniculata Nees 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
It was hypothesized that neoandrographolide might scavenge free radicals by donating the allylic hydrogen of the unsaturated lactone ring. It was found that the stoichiometry of the reaction between neoandrographolide and superoxide radical generated from KO(2) in DMSO was 2 to 1. One major reaction product was isolated and determined to be a diacid formed by the opening of the lactone ring. It was concluded that the antiradical activity of neoandrographolide proceeded by hydrogen abstraction from carbon C-15. A reaction mechanism was proposed. 相似文献

3-Deoxyanthocyanidins are structurally related to the anthocyanin pigments, which are popular as health-promoting phytochemicals. Here, it is demonstrated that the 3-deoxyanthocyanidins are more cytotoxic on human cancer cells than the 3-hydroxylated anthocyanidin analogues. At 200 microM concentration, luteolinidin reduced the viability of HL-60 and HepG2 cells by 90 and 50%, respectively. Sorghum is a major source of 3-deoxyanthocyanidins, which are present as seed pigments and as phytoalexins responding to pathogen attack. On the basis of the collision-induced dissociation spectra of luteolinidin and apigeninidin, an LC-MS/MS method, operating in multiple-reaction monitoring mode, was developed for the specific detection and accurate quantification of these compounds in complex mixtures, which may be difficult to analyze using absorbance measurements. The results demonstrated that inoculated sorghum seedlings could be utilized for convenient and large-scale production of 3-deoxyanthocyanidins. A quantity of almost 270 microg/g (fresh weight) of luteolinidin was produced 72 h after fungal inoculation of 1-week-old seedlings. 相似文献

A tandem solid-phase extraction method was used to isolate carcinogenic heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) from cooked meats. The following 10 HAAs were identified by HPLC/ESI-MS/MS: 2-amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (2-AalphaC), 2-amino-3-methyl-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (MeAalphaC), 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (IQx), 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (8-MeIQx), 2-amino-3,4,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (4,8-DiMeIQx), 2-amino-3,7,8-trimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (7,8-DiMeIQx), 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), 2-amino-1,7,9-trimethylimidazo[4,5-g]quinoxaline (7,9-DiMeIgQx), and 2-amino-1-methylimidazo[4,5-b]quinoline (IQ[4,5-b]); the latter HAA has not previously been reported in cooked meats. The concentrations of these HAAs ranged from <0.03 to 15 ppb in cooked meats and poultry, to 75 ppb in cooked beef extract, and to 85 ppb in grill scrapings. The product ion scan mode was used to confirm the identities of these HAAs. Six other compounds were detected that appear to contain the N-methylimidazoquinoxaline skeleton on the basis of their product ion spectra, and these compounds are probable isomers of IQx, 8-MeIQx, and DiMeIQx. A number of known HAAs and novel HAAs of unknown genotoxic potential are formed at appreciable levels in cooked meats. 相似文献
