Comparison of oil and phytosterol levels in germplasm accessions of corn, teosinte, and Job's tears     

Moreau RA  Singh V  Hicks KB 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2001,49(8):3793-3795

Seeds of 49 accessions of corn (Zea mays ssp. mays), 9 accessions of teosinte (Zea species that are thought to be ancestors and probable progenitors to corn), and 3 accessions of Job's tears (Coix lacryma), obtained from a germplasm repository, were ground and extracted with hexane. Whole kernel oil yields and levels of four phytonutrients (free phytosterols, fatty acyl phytosterol esters, ferulate phytosterol esters, and gamma-tocopherol) in the oils were measured. Among the seeds tested, oil yields ranged from 2.19 to 4.83 wt %, the levels of ferulate phytosterol esters in the oil ranged from 0.047 to 0.839 wt %, the levels of free phytosterols in the oil ranged from 0.54 to 1.28 wt %, the levels of phytosterol fatty acyl esters in the oil ranged from 0.76 to 3.09 wt %, the levels of total phytosterols in the oil ranged from 1.40 to 4.38 wt %, and the levels of gamma-tocopherol in the oil ranged from 0.023 to 0.127 wt %. In general, higher levels of all three phytosterol classes were observed in seed oils from accessions of Zea mays ssp. mays than in seed oils from accessions of the other taxonomic groups. The highest levels of gamma-tocopherol were observed in teosinte accessions.  相似文献   

SENSITIVITY AND SPECIFICITY OF RADIOGRAPHIC DETECTION OF CANINE ELBOW INCONGRUENCE IN AN IN VITRO MODEL     

Laurent Blond  Jacques Dupuis  Guy Beauregard  Luc Breton  Maxim Moreau 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2005,46(3):210-216

Canine elbow incongruence is believed to be the consequence of underdevelopment of the radius. The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of radiography to detect elbow incongruence in an in vitro model and to assess the optimal elbow angle and radiographic beam position. Five normal cadaveric canine left forelimbs were used. A four-pin, type 1 external fixator with a linear motor side bar was fixed to the cranial part of the radius of each limb and a 1 cm segment of bone was removed from the mid-diaphysis to allow radial shortening. Each elbow was subjected to the same protocol. They were radiographed at two different angles (90 degrees and 135 degrees) of flexion, with 10 different radiographic beam positions (centered on the humeral condyle, 3 cm cranial, 3 cm caudal, 3 cm distal, 3 cm proximal, 3 cm cranio-proximal, 3 cm cranio-distal, 3 cm caudo-proximal, 3 cm caudo-distal and on the shoulder joint) and at four different level of radial shortening (0, 1, 2 and 3 mm). In addition, a radiographic view centered on the elbows flexed at 135 degrees was made after simulating weight bearing. The acquired digital images were independently evaluated by three evaluators unaware of the elbows status. The elbows were judged normal, incongruent or borderline based on specific criteria. The sensitivity for detection of elbow incongruence at and beyond 2 mm was excellent at 90 degrees (median = 100% for all views) and good at 135 degrees (median = 80%) of flexion with no difference between examiners. The sensitivity at 1 mm of incongruence was unchanged at 135 degrees but was reduced at 90 degrees of flexion (median = 60%) with a significant difference between the evaluators. The specificity was significantly different between the evaluators and ranged from 70% to 90% at 90 degrees of flexion and from 50% to 80% at 135 degrees. The lowest specificities at 90 degrees were obtained with the proximal displacements of the X-ray beam. Simulating weight bearing significantly decreased the sensitivity at 1 mm (from 80% to 50%) and 3 mm (from 100% to 80%) of incongruence and slightly increased the specificity (from 55% to 65%). Radiography is a sensitive and specific test to detect moderate-to-severe radio-ulnar incongruence (2 mm and over) if the elbow is flexed at a 90 degrees angle regardless of the radiographic beam position. Finally, canine elbow incongruence appeared reduced after an in vitro weight-bearing simulation.  相似文献   

Insecticide resistance in cotton aphid Aphis gossypii (Glov.) in the Sudan Gezira     

El Mahi E. Gubran  Robert Delorme  Dnielle Aug  Jean P. Moreau 《Pest management science》1992,35(2):101-107

The resistance to insecticides of three Sudanese strains of A. gossypii (Glov.) collected from cotton fields in the Sudan Gezira Scheme over three seasons (1988, 1989, 1990) and that of two French strains was studied in the laboratory. When compared with a known susceptible strain, the aphids were found to be resistant-to the eight insecticides tested. Evolution of resistance in Sudanese strains during the three crop seasons was observed. Assay of aphid homogcnate for carboxytesterase activity towards the substrates α-naphthyl acetate and β-naphthyl acetate showed that there was no enhancement of this class of enzyme and thus it was not a cause of resistance in this species. A study of interaction between the acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and pirimicarb established the kinetics of the inhibition process. I₅₀ values were found to be much higher for the Sudanese strains than for the susceptible strain. First-order inhibition kinetics revealed that resistance towards pirimicarb in Sudanese-strains was caused by a modified AchE which had a reduced affinity (higher K_a value) and poor carbamylation ability (lower K₂ value) for pirimicarb. The resistance mechanisms for the other insecticides remain to be studied.  相似文献   

Massive transfusion in dogs: 15 cases (1997-2001)     

Jutkowitz LA  Rozanski EA  Moreau JA  Rush JE 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》2002,220(11):1664-1669

OBJECTIVE: To determine clinical characteristics of dogs that received massive transfusion and identify the underlying diseases, complications, and outcomes. DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: 15 dogs. PROCEDURE: Medical records of dogs receiving a massive blood transfusion were evaluated for transfusion volume, underlying disease process or injury, benefits and complications of transfusion, and outcome. A massive transfusion was defined as transfusion of a volume of blood products in excess of the patient's estimated blood volume (90 ml/kg [40 ml/lb]) in a 24-hour period or transfusion of a volume of blood products in excess of half the patient's estimated blood volume in a 3-hour period. RESULTS: Six dogs had intra-abdominal neoplasia resulting in hemoabdomen, 3 had suffered a traumatic incident resulting in hemoabdomen, and 6 had non-traumatic, non-neoplastic blood loss. Mean volumes of packed RBC and fresh-frozen plasma administered were 66.5 ml/kg (30 ml/lb) and 22.2 ml/kg (10 ml/lb), respectively. All dogs evaluated developed low ionized calcium concentrations and thrombocytopenia. Transfusion reactions were recognized in 6 dogs. Four dogs survived to hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that massive transfusion is possible and potentially successful in dogs. Predictable changes in electrolyte concentrations and platelet count develop.  相似文献

橡胶树树皮坏死的症状、病因和流行规律的研究     

D.Nandris  R.Moreau  F.Pellegrin  H.Chrestin  和丽岗 《热带农业科技》2006,29(1):1-4,43

引起橡胶树停止排胶主要有两种不同症状:(1)割面干涸(TPD),一种过度采胶引起的可恢复性生理反应;(2)树皮坏死(BN),一种从芽接部位韧皮部扩展的不可恢复的病症。目前树皮坏死在世界各国橡胶种植园都有发生,其危害程度取决于种植品种、树龄和种植地点。通过对大量种植园的调查,目前澄清了橡胶树树皮综合病症多态的各种争议。虽然对以前和近来的病原分析还不能下定论,但环境因素确实与树皮坏死有关。对一些开割树位的流行规律研究表明,早期病树发生的位置不是随机的,其主要发生在靠近沼泽、胶园道路、边行、原推土机过道、树桩残余地和斜坡缓冲地等区域。树皮坏死的发生与土壤的化学因素没有显著的相关性,但是土壤物理测定(如土壤紧实度)表明,树皮坏死树较差的根系与土壤较高的紧实度有关。此外,在砧木与芽片接合处首先观察到树皮坏死的早期症状。用PMS压力计测定的大量生理生态学对照数据表明,树皮坏死树内有水分胁迫。这些结果意味着患病树树干同其根系的维管联系处于非理想状态。因此,同土壤紧实度相关的土壤有效水分的减少、不能满足旱季水分需求的脆弱根系、被扰乱的树液流动和土壤水分循环等因素的共同作用,被认为是在芽接区产生树皮坏死的主要外部诱因,坏死随后向上扩展到割面。此外,细胞及分子生物学研究表明,橡胶树内在失调是导致树皮坏死迅速扩展的原因。在这些胁迫的作用下,胶树芽接部位的细胞破裂,释放出极具扩散性的高浓度氰化物。这种韧皮部内氰化物的产生和分解作用的不平衡将毒害邻近细胞。多学科的交叉研究为多因素胁迫诱导的这种生理病害提出了一个新的、完整的模型。  相似文献

Phenolic acids, lipids, and proteins associated with purified corn fiber arabinoxylans     

Yadav MP  Moreau RA  Hicks KB 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2007,55(3):943-947

Corn fiber gum (CFG) is a hemicellulose (arabinoxylan)-enriched fraction obtained by the extraction of corn bran/fiber using a proprietary alkaline hydrogen peroxide process. When purified CFG prepared by this process was hydrolyzed with more concentrated base (1.5 N methanolic KOH at 70 degrees C for 1 hour), considerable amounts of hydroxycinnamic acids (up to 0.015% of mainly ferulic acid) and lipids (up to 0.43%) were released. The released phenolic acids and lipids were identified and quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with detection by both UV and evaporative light-scattering detection (ELSD). During the wet milling of corn, two types of corn fiber are produced: coarse fiber, which is primarily from pericarp, and fine fiber, which is from the endosperm. The total phenolic acid content in CFGs purified from coarse corn fiber (pericarp fiber) is comparatively higher than that purified from fine corn fiber (endosperm fiber). It was also determined that the purified CFG samples contained significant amounts of strongly associated proteins, from 2 to 5% by weight. The presence of these phenolic acids, lipids, and proteins strongly associated or bound to CFG may contribute to its excellent ability to emulsify oil-in-water emulsions.  相似文献
