Finasteride-induced prostatic involution by apoptosis in dogs with benign prostatic hypertrophy     

Sirinarumitr K  Sirinarumitr T  Johnston SD  Sarkar DK  Kustritz MV 《American journal of veterinary research》2002,63(4):495-498

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of finasteride on programmed cell death (apoptosis) of prostatic cells during prostatic involution in dogs with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). ANIMALS: 9 dogs with BPH. PROCEDURE: Dogs were randomly assigned to treatment or control groups. Treatment dogs (n = 5) were administered finasteride (0.1 to 0.5 mg/kg, PO, q 24 h) for 16 weeks, whereas the 4 control dogs were administered an inert compound. Prostatic cells from the prostatic fluid portion of the ejaculate of treatment and control dogs were obtained before and 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, and 16 weeks after initiation of treatment. Cells were concentrated by use of centrifugation. Prostatic cells were examined for indications of apoptosis by use of a terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxyuracil triphosphate nick-end labeling technique. After receiving the inert compound for 16 weeks, the 4 control dogs were administered finasteride for 16 weeks, and evaluations were repeated. RESULTS: Percentage of apoptotic prostatic cells in ejaculated prostatic fluid of treatment dogs increased significantly (from 9% before treatment to 33, 31, 26, and 27% after 1, 2, 3, and 8 weeks of treatment, respectively). There was no significant change in percentage of apoptotic prostatic cells in the ejaculated prostatic fluid of control dogs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Finasteride-induced prostatic involution appears to be via apoptosis in dogs with BPH. Finasteride treatment of dogs with BPH causes prostatic involution by apoptosis rather than necrosis.  相似文献   

Effects of exercise intensity and duration on plasma beta-endorphin concentrations in horses     

Mehl ML  Schott HC  Sarkar DK  Bayly WM 《American journal of veterinary research》2000,61(8):969-973

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between plasma beta-endorphin (EN) concentrations and exercise intensity and duration in horses. ANIMALS: 8 mares with a mean age of 6 years (range, 3 to 13 years) and mean body weight of 450 kg. PROCEDURE: Horses were exercised for 20 minutes at 60% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and to fatigue at 95% V02max. Plasma EN concentrations were determined before exercise, after a 10-minute warmup period, after 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes at 60% VO2max or at the point of fatigue (95% VO2max), and at regular intervals after exercise. Glucose concentrations were determined at the same times EN concentrations were measured. Plasma lactate concentration was measured 5 minutes after exercise. RESULTS: Maximum EN values were recorded 0 to 45 minutes after horses completed each test. Significant time and intensity effects on EN concentrations were detected. Concentrations were significantly higher following exercise at 95% VO2max, compared with those after 20 minutes of exercise at 60% VO2max (605.2 +/- 140.6 vs 312.3 +/- 53.1 pg/ml). Plasma EN concentration was not related to lactate concentration and was significantly but weakly correlated with glucose concentration for exercise at both intensities (r = 0.21 and 0.30 for 60 and 95% VO2max, respectively). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A critical exercise threshold exists for EN concentration in horses, which is 60% VO2max or less and is related to exercise intensity and duration. Even under conditions of controlled exercise there may be considerable differences in EN concentrations between horses. This makes the value of comparing horses on the basis of their EN concentration questionable.  相似文献

Development of a monoclonal antibody-based co-agglutination test to detect enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli isolated from diarrheic neonatal calves     

Brajesh C. Varshney  N.M. Ponnanna  Pranati A. Sarkar  Pragna Rehman  Jigar H. Shah 《Journal of veterinary science (Suw?n-si, Korea)》2007,8(1):57-64

Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains were collected from young diarrheic calves in farms and field. Strains that expressed the K99 (F5) antigen were identified by agglutination tests using reference antibodies to K99 antigen and electron microscopy. The K99 antigen from a selected field strain (SAR-14) was heat-extracted and fractionated on a Sepharose CL-4B column. Further purification was carried out by sodium deoxycholate treatment and/or ion-exchange chromatography. Monoclonal antibodies to purified K99 antigen were produced by the hybridoma technique, and a specific clone, NEK99-5.6.12, was selected for propagation in tissue culture. The antibodies, thus obtained, were affinity-purified, characterized and coated onto Giemsa-stained Cowan-I strain of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The antibody-coated S. aureus were used in a co-agglutination test to detect K99+ E. coli isolated from feces of diarrheic calves. The specificity of the test was validated against reference monoclonal antibodies used in co-agglutination tests, as well as in ELISA. Specificity of the monoclonal antibodies was also tested against various Gram negative bacteria. The developed antibodies specifically detected purified K99 antigen in immunoblots, as well as K99+ E. coli in ELISA and co-agglutination tests. The co-agglutination test was specific and convenient for large-scale screening of K99+ E. coli isolates.  相似文献   

Priority habitats for the conservation of large river fish in the Ganges river basin     

Uttam Kumar Sarkar  Mark B. Bain 《水产资源保护:海洋与淡水生态系统》2007,17(4):349-359

• 1. Three classes of habitat used by groups of fish species classified as conservation and management priorities were developed for the Gerua River (also known as the Girwa River, Karnali River) in the Ganges river basin. This river is large (mean annual discharge ca 1500 m³ s^?1, up to 900 m wide), surrounded by protected lands of India and Nepal, and upstream of major diversions and river alterations.
• 2. Fish and habitat sampling was conducted at 45 sites from 2000 to 2003. Data were analysed for 2172 fish of 14 species. Species and life stages found occupying a statistically distinct subset of the river habitats were grouped to identify classes of river habitat for conservation.
• 3. Most species and life‐stage groups specialized on specific habitat conditions revealed by multivariate analyses of variance and a principal component analysis. The most numerous and diverse group (six species, 15 life stages) was associated with deep depositional habitats with sandy substrate. Two species covering three life stages were primarily oriented to erosional habitat marked by fast current velocity with pebble and cobble substrate. A third group of three species of adults and juveniles were intermediate in habitat use.
• 4. River conservation for fish faunas should maintain both erosional and depositional channel habitats with depths, substrates, and current velocity inclusive of the ranges reported. The erosional and depositional nature of the key habitats requires that rivers be maintained with flows capable of channel‐forming functions.

Extraction,purification and properties of soil hydrolases     

L. Batistic  J.M. Sarkar  J. Mayaudon 《Soil biology & biochemistry》1980,12(1):59-63

Invertase, cellulase, phosphatases, protease and β-glucosidase were extracted from permanent pasture soil with 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 8) in the presence of 0.2 M EDTA. This extract was further treated with ammonium and salmine sulphates. Attempts were made to fractionate these enzyme activities by gel and anion-exchange chromatography. Specific activities were estimated in all fractions and some characteristics of the purified enzymes (optimum pH, temperature and substrate concentration, and K_m and V_max) were investigated. The results indicated that extracted enzyme activities occurred partly in soil as a carbohydrate-enzyme complex and partly as a humo-carbohydrate complex.  相似文献   

Überleben einerXanthomonas campestris pv.pelargonii-Mutante in einjähriger Komposterde     

Dr. M. Wölk  Prof. Dr. S. Sarkar 《Journal of pest science》1994,67(4):69-71

Zusammenfassung Das Überleben vonXanthomonas campestris pv.pelargonii wurde anhand einer Mutante in einjährigem Kompost untersucht. In der Versuchsvariante 1, bei der die Bakterien mit Komposterde vermischt wurden, konnte die Mutante Xc3b nach 15 Monaten nicht mehr nachgewiesen werden. Unter diesen Bedingungen war es den Bakterien möglich, 14 Monate im Kompost zu überleben. In der Versuchsvariante 2, bei der Komposterde mit Bakterien und zusätzlich noch mit infizierten Pelargonienstielen eingebracht wurden, konnten dieXanthomonas-Mutanten noch nach 26 Monaten nachgewiesen werden.

Survival of a mutant ofXanthomonas campestris pv.pelargonii in one year old compost

Survival of phytopathogenicXanthomonas campestris pv.perlargonii in a one year old compost was investigated by use of a mutant. In the variant 1, in which the compost soil was mixed with the bacteria, the mutant Xc-3b could not be detected after 15 months. Under these conditions the bacteria were able to survive for 14 months in the compost. In the variant 2, in which the compost soil was mixed with bacteria andXanthomonas-infected geranium stems, it could be found even after 26 months.

Isolation und Pathogenität vonRhizoctonia solani Kühn an Gurken und Buschbohnen     

Dr. M. Wölk  Prof. Dr. S. Sarkar 《Journal of pest science》1994,67(2):34-39

Zusammenfassung Es wurden 79Rhizoctonia solani-Isolate von verschiedenen Orten in Baden-Württemberg isoliert. Es konnten Isolate gefunden werden, die gegenüber Gurken und Bohnen pathogen waren. Bei Bohnen kann das Sproßgewicht als leicht zu erfassender Parameter für die Quantifizierung der Schadwirkung benutzt werden. Eine trockene Lagerung von mitRhizoctonia solani durchwachsenen Haferkörnern erwies sich als besonders geeignet für eine Stammkulturhaltung.

Isolation and pathogenicity ofRhizoctonia solani to cucumber and bean

79Rhizoctonia solani strains were isolated from different locations in Baden-Württemberg. Some of these strains were pathogenic against cucumber and bean. The sprout-weight of bean can be used as an easy-to-measure parameter for quantification of the damage caused by teh fungus. The dry storage of oat seeds, previously inoculated withRhizoctonia solani, has been shown to be the best method for long-term storage.
