Morphological study on the stomach of the lesser mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus) with special reference to the internal surface.

The stomach of the lesser mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus) was observed macroscopically. It consisted of only three compartments, rumen, reticulum and abomasum without omasum. The rumen was S-shaped with large ventral and caudoventral blind sacs and the reticulum was larger than the abomasum. Internally, the rumen was covered with numerous ruminal papillae even on the pillars and the ruminoreticular fold. These papillae were leaf- or tongue-like shaped and varied in size and density. The reticulum had honey-combed crests and the secondary crests were found rarely. The lips of the reticular groove were prominent and more developed in the aboral part than in the oral one. A sac-like transition zone, which had more prominent mucosal folds than had the floor of the reticular groove, was observed between the caudal end of the reticular groove and the abomasum. Mucosal folds of the abomasum were spiral, low but rather thick. These findings were discussed in view of comparison with other ruminants and of possible functional implications.  相似文献   

Development and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against canine trypsin

Canine cationic trypsin was purified by salting-out, gel filtration and affinity chromatography. Purity was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The molecular weight was ca. 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE.

Thirty hybridomas were obtained which produced mAb to canine cationic trypsin by the cell fusion technique. Twenty-two of these recognized cationic trypsin only, while eight hybridomas recognized both cationic and anionic trypsin. Several of the anti-canine cationic trypsin mAb were purified by salting-out and DEAE ion-change chromatography using ascites fluid of immunized BALB/c mice. The mAb proved to have very high specificity to canine cationic trypsin as shown by immunoblotting and it may be possible to use them to develop clinical assays.  相似文献   

Influence of Body Weight and Food Density on Kinetics of Ammonia Excretion by the Brine Shrimp Artemia franciscana     

Yoshiaki  Tanaka 《Journal of the World Aquaculture Society》1993,24(4):499-503

This study was undertaken to quantify the relationships between the rate of ammonia excretion by brine shrimp and dry weight (body size) and food density. Measurements of the rate of ammonia excretion of the brine shrimp were made at 25 C in darkness. Under these conditions, the excretion rate of ammonium-nitrogen can be generalized as a function of body weight and food (Nannochloropsis sp.) density. The relationship between the body weight (W) and excretion rate of ammonium nitrogen (E_N) is expressed as E_N=α W^γ, where α is the metabolic level. The parameter α is dependent on ration, such that α=α_o±α_r where α_o= metabolic level in starvation and α_r= the metabolic level which increased with feeding or changed with the food density. In experiments in which the animal starved, the equation above becomes E_N=α_oW^γ, and the values of α and γ were 0.22 and 0.93, respectively. The rate of ammonium excretion rose from 5.42 × 10^?4 to 2.28 × 10^?1μg N/animal/h as dry weight measured from 1.57 × 10^?3? 1.04 mg dry weight per animal. Next, it is convenient to express α_r as α_r=α_fmax= (1 ? 10^?kc), where α_fmax is the maximum rate of α_f at saturated level of food density, C is the mean cell density, and k is a constant defining the rate of change of the metabolic rate with cell density. Therefore, the rate of ammonia excretion by brine shrimp could be expressed as E_N=α_o [1 ? a(l ? 10^?kC)]W^γ, and a =α_fmax/α_o. The values of the kinetics parameters obtained from experiments where shrimp were fed were a = 2.3 and k = 0.15×10^?7. Consequently, the maximum rate of ammonia excretion at a saturated food density is equivalent to 3.3 times the rate of animals that are not fed.  相似文献   

ULTRASONOGRAPHIC FEATURES OF DIFFUSE HEPATOCELLULAR DISORDERS IN DAIRY CATTLE     

Jezie A.  Acorda  DVM  Magr  Haruo  Yamada  DVM  DVSc  Seyed  Mehdi Ghamsari  DVM 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1994,35(3):196-200

Ultrasonography of the liver was performed in 200 Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle using a 3.5 MHz transducer with a linear array electronic scanner. Liver samples were taken, processed and examined microscopically and the fat occupying rate was calculated. The hepatic ultrasonograms were evaluated according to the presence of bright pattern, dark pattern, deep attenuation, vascular blurring and blurring of edges. Of the 200 animals, 96 had a normal liver, 63 had hydropic degeneration of the liver, 37 had fatty infiltration of the liver, 3 had liver dystrophy and I had hepatic amyloidosis, diagnosed through histopathological examination. Amyloidosis was characterized by bright pattern and blurring of edges. Liver dystrophy had higher percentages of bright pattern and blurring of edges than normal liver. Hydropic degeneration had higher percentages of dark pattern and blurring of edges than normal liver. Fatty infiltration had higher percentages of bright pattern, deep attenuation, vascular blurring and blurring of edges than normal liver. The present results suggest that different ultrasonographic patterns can be observed in various diffuse hepatocellular disorders in dairy cattle  相似文献

Persimmon breeding in Japan for pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA) type with marker-assisted selection     

Akihiko Sato  Masahiko Yamada 《Breeding Science》2016,66(1):60-68

Oriental persimmon (Diospyros kaki) originated in Eastern Asia, and many indigenous cultivars have been developed in China, Japan, and Korea. These cultivars are classified into four groups based on their natural astringency loss on the tree and seed formation: pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA), pollination-variant non-astringent (PVNA), pollination-constant astringent (PCA), and pollination-variant astringent (PVA). PCNA is the most desirable type because the fruit can be eaten without any postharvest treatment; therefore, one of the goals of our persimmon breeding programs is to release superior PCNA cultivars. The PCNA genotype is recessive to the other three non-PCNA genotypes, and PCNA-type F₁ offspring are obtained exclusively from crosses among PCNA genotypes. Moreover, the number of superior PCNA cross-parents have been limited. In the late 1980s, inbreeding depression became obvious, especially in terms of fruit size, tree vigor, and productivity. To mitigate the inbreeding, a backcross program using PCNA [(non-PCNA × PCNA) × PCNA] was started in 1990. This process, however, was inefficient because only 15% of the offspring were PCNA, and all offspring had to be grown to the fruiting stage. Therefore, molecular markers linked to the PCNA locus were developed for discriminating PCNA offspring. A molecular marker linked to Chinese PCNA has also been developed.  相似文献   

Influence of acute exposure to a low dose of systemic insecticide fipronil on locomotor activity and emotional behavior in adult male mice     

Mizuki MAEDA  Toshifumi YOKOYAMA  Sayaka KITAUCHI  Tetsushi HIRANO  Youhei MANTANI  Yoshiaki TABUCHI  Nobuhiko HOSHI 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2021,83(2):344

Fipronil (FPN) is a systemic insecticide that antagonizes the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA_A) receptors in insects. Recently, adverse effects of FPN on mammals have been reported, but most of those were caused by high doses of FPN and additives in the products. We investigated the effects of low-dose pure FPN on the emotional behavior of mice. Nine-week-old male mice conducted behavioral tests 24 hr after FPN administration by gavage at doses of 0.05 or 5 mg/kg based on the no-observed-effect level (NOEL), showed a significant increase in locomotor activity and dose-dependent responses on the time they spent in the central zone in the open field test. Pure FPN below the NOEL dose may affect the emotional behavior of mice.  相似文献
