(1) Immunohistochemical methods and three antibodies (against actin, desmin and smooth muscle actin) were used to demonstrate the myoid cells in the domestic fowl testis and its excurrent ducts. (2) A positive reaction to actin, smooth muscle actin and desmin was found in the myoid cells of peritubular tissue of the testis and in rete testis, ductuli efferentes and ductus epididymidis. (3) In the testis myoid-reactive cells form a single layer. In the rete testis, ductuli efferentes and the ductus epididymidis reactive myoid cells form a main component of the stroma. (4) Positive reaction to actin, smooth muscle actin and desmin was also observed in the myoid cells of the tunica albuginea and in the wall of blood vessels in the testis and epididymis, indicating a contractile function for the testicular capsule.  相似文献

In this work, an attempt was made to asses possible regional specializations in the llama ductus epididymidis. According to histological and histochemical criteria, six segments (I-VI) were identified. Segment I was a short region where ductuli efferentes joined the ductus epididymidis. Segments II and III showed maximal epithelial height and mitotic activity, respectively, and weak LDH activity. Epithelial cells in segment IV contained PAS-positive, amylase and neuraminidase-resistant secretory granules. Segment V showed strong acid phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase activities. Segment VI was characterized by moderate acid phosphatase and high lactate dehydrogenase activities, respectively, and by maximal spermatozoa packagement. Scanning electron microscopy of epidydimal spermatozoa revealed that cytoplasmic droplet translocation was accomplished at the distal part of the corpus epididymidis. Bent middle pieces characterized spermatozoa during droplet translocation.  相似文献

The feline urogenital junction is situated between the extratesticular rete and the spacious initial segments of the efferent ductules. The rete epithelium is cuboidal to low columnar. The rete cells forming the junction rest on a wavy basal lamina, display deep mutual invaginations, possess central nuclei with several infoldings and form a distinct border with the columnar epithelial cells of the initial segments of the ductuli efferentes. The epithelium of the initial segments is composed of ciliated cells and non-ciliated principal cells. The latter are the dominating type and characterized by an apical brush-border and a supranuclear endocytotic apparatus. The stroma of the extratesticular rete contains an abundance of collagen whereas contractile cells are here generally absent. In contrast, the initial segments of the efferent ductules are surrounded by elastic fibres and a layer of contractile cells. All nerves for the feline urogenital junction come from the nervus spermaticus superior. In the epididymal head, small nerve bundles deviate into the septa between the ductules. Single fibres establish a dense network within the muscular coat of the ductuli. At the transition to the extratesticular rete, this network ends abruptly. Nerve fibres in the confines of the rete are associated with blood vessels or proceed to the testicular interior, but establish no relationships with the rete epithelium or the myofibroblasts of the mediastinum. The nervous network in the walls of the efferent ductules and their initial segments is not only composed of sympathetic but also parasympathetic, non-myelinated fibres. Particularly noteworthy is the abundance of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)- and substance P (SP)-containing axons around the initial segments. Both neuroproteins are consistent markers for sensory neurones. Taken together, it can be assumed that the entry of seminal fluid and spermatozoa into the efferent ductules is controlled by a regulatory nervous chain provided with afferent and efferent components.  相似文献

A histochemical study using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled lectins to identify glycoconjugates present in the efferent ductules and the three segments of the ductus epididymis (initial, middle and terminal segment) of dogs was carried out. The lectins used were: mannose-binding lectins (Con A, LCA and PSA), galactose-binding lectins (PNA, RCA), N -acetylgalactosamine-binding lectins (DBA, SBA, SJA and GSL I), N -acetylglucosamine-binding lectins (WGA and WGAs), fucose-binding lectins (UEA) and lectins which bind to complex carbohydrate configurations (PHA E and PHA L). The lectin-binding pattern in the canine epididymis presents similarities and differences to those observed in other mammalian species. The ductuli efferentes distinctly stained with most of the lectins used, whereas in the ductus epididymis a segment specific staining pattern was observed. Whereas principal cells of the ductus epididymis stained clearly with several FITC-labelled lectins (WGA, UEA and PHA-L), basal cells showed only a significant binding of Con A.  相似文献

The aim of the study was to answer the open questions concerning the development of the horse's testis. This study revealed that the seminiferous tubules originate from the sex cords of the coelomic epithelium and Leydig cells from the proximal part of mesonephric nephrones, whereas the rete and the ductuli efferentes derive from intermediate and distal parts of the mesonephric tubules. During the development the Leydig cells undergo an enormous proliferation due to the PMSG secretion in the mare. The proliferation of these cells prevent the deep penetration of the rete into the medulla and is therefore the reason for the reduced extension of the rete and mediastinum testis in the stallion, although 80% of these cells degenerate in the last third of pregnancy. The growth of the seminiferous tubules during sexual maturity reduces the rete to the extremitas capitata of the testis.  相似文献

The arrangement, origin, course and opening of the ductuli efferents testis of the bull (Bos taurus) were visualized using scanning electron microscopy. The corresponding capillary structure was also described and documented with the help of corrosive microanatomical casts. The number of the ductuli efferents testis of the bull varies narrowly between 12 to 13. Ductuli removed from the surrounding tissue have a length of up to 78 cm. The duct system is composed of linear as well as tortuous parts, permitting division into three distinct segments. Blind ending ductules are very short. We therefore do not see these structures as being associated with spermiostasis. The capillary density as well as the capillary architecture show regional peculiarities. All segments of the ductuli efferents testis are composed of capillaries of the continuous type. The findings indicate that the increased capillary density in the voluminous initial section of the ductuli efferents testis represents the basis for resorptive as well as secretory activities in the bull.  相似文献

The use of the scanning electron microscope gave a three dimensional representation of the epithelial surface. Additionally, light microscopy revealed the representative structure of the epithelium. The rete testis showed a single layer of cubic epithelial cells. Short and dense microvilli were found on the surface. Sporadically a single, cilia-like structure was recognized. An extratesticular rete testis was identified. The flowing transition of the epithelium between the rete testis and the efferent ductuli occurred at different levels, so that both kinds of epithelial structures were recognized in the same area. The efferent ductuli were composed of a single columnar epithelium consisting of two cell types, principal cells and ciliated cells. The ciliated cells were recognized by their cilia protruding into the lumen. The principal cells showed microvilli on their surface and bleblike apical protrusions which erupt into the lumen.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the relationships between amino acids and DE for pigs weighing 20 to 50 kg. In Exp. 1, there were three dietary lysine levels that were either adjusted (1.50, 2.35 and 3.20 g/Mcal DE) for five DE levels (3.00 to 4.00 Mcal/kg) or unadjusted (.45, .71 and .96% of the diet) for three DE levels (3.50 to 4.00 Mcal/kg). In Exp. 2, diets containing six lysine:DE ratios (1.90 to 3.90 g/Mcal) at two DE levels (3.25 and 3.75 Mcal/kg) were fed. Pigs were housed individually, and could eat and drink ad libitum. When pigs weighed 50 kg, their empty body composition was determined by the urea dilution technique in Exp. 1 and by prediction equations based on backfat in Exp. 2. For the adjusted diets in Exp. 1, protein deposition and protein deposition:DE intake increased (P less than .01) slightly as DE levels increased. These criteria decreased linearly (P less than .001), and fat deposition increased (P = .11) as DE increased when lysine:DE ratios were not maintained. As lysine levels increased, protein deposition and protein deposition: DE intake increased (P less than .001) in both the adjusted and unadjusted diets. In Exp. 2, there was no effect of DE on either the rate or efficiency of protein deposition. Both protein deposition and protein deposition:DE intake increased (P less than .001) and fat deposition decreased as lysine:DE ratios increased up to 3.00 g lysine/Mcal DE. Protein deposition: lysine intake decreased (P less than .01) progressively as the lysine:DE ratio increased. Regression analyses indicated the protein deposition increased up to 3.00 g lysine/Mcal DE. The results demonstrate the need to adjust lysine according to energy levels and indicate that the optimum ratio for protein deposition was approximately 3.00 g lysine/Mcal DE (or 49 g of balanced protein/Mcal DE).  相似文献

The relationships between dietary amino acids and DE for pigs weighing 20 to 50 kg were investigated in two experiments. In Exp. 1, there were three dietary lysine levels that were either adjusted (1.50, 2.35 and 3.20 g/Mcal DE) for five DE levels (3.00 to 4.00 Mcal/kg) or unadjusted (.45, .71 and .96% of the diet) for three DE levels (3.50 to 4.00 Mcal/kg). In Exp. 2, the effects of six lysine:DE ratios (1.90 to 3.90 g/Mcal) at two DE levels (3.25 and 3.75 Mcal/kg) were investigated. In both experiments, diets were formulated using a constant ratio of corn and soybean meal. Pigs (equal numbers of barrows and gilts) were housed and fed individually and had ad libitum access to feed and water. Digestible energy intake was not affected by energy content of the diets. In Exp. 1, lysine intake did not differ with DE in the adjusted diets but decreased (P less than .001) as DE increased in the unadjusted diets. Weight gain was relatively consistent and gain:DE intake increased (P less than .001) as DE increased in the adjusted diets, but both decreased (P less than .005) with increasing DE in the unadjusted diets. Both criteria increased (P less than .001) in response to higher lysine:DE in the adjusted and lysine in the unadjusted diets. In Exp. 2, weight gain increased (P less than .005), but there was no effect (P greater than .05) on gain:DE intake as DE increased. Both weight gain and gain:DE intake increased (P less than .001) and backfat decreased (P less than .01) as lysine:DE ratios increased. The results demonstrate the need to increase dietary amino acid levels in concert with increases in energy contents. Regression analyses indicated that weight gain and gain:DE intake for 20- to 50-kg pigs were maximized at approximately 3.0 g lysine/Mcal DE (or 49 g of balanced protein/Mcal DE).  相似文献

The stresses of transportation, weaning and commingling are associated with an increased incidence of bacterial and viral pneumonia in cattle. Proteins expressed in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the lungs, in conjunction with resident leukocytes, represent the first line of defence against opportunistic pathogens, and stress-induced alterations in their expression may reveal markers of disease susceptibility. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was sampled in weaned and transported calves and ELF protein expression was compared to a control group of calves using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). Serum and pulmonary haptoglobin were increased following stress concurrent with the number of blood neutrophils. Using 2DE, significant changes in expression were observed in spots identified by mass spectrometry as annexin A1 and A5, odorant-binding protein (OBP), isocitrate dehydrogenase, fibrinogen, heme-binding protein, alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, alpha-1-antichymotrypsin and albumin. Quantification of OBP mRNA by real-time RT-PCR and OBP protein by western blot revealed gender-dependent differences in relative OBP expression in response to stress. These findings reveal stress-associated protein changes in pulmonary ELF and suggest a mechanism through which stress alters respiratory disease susceptibility.  相似文献

Holstein steers in metabolism stalls were utilized to determine apparent digestibility of N (DN), N retention (NR) expressed as a percentage of total N consumed, and Mcal/kg digestible energy (DE) when diets of seven different classes of forages were fed. The best predictive equation for digestibility of N in the 153 forages studied was DN(%) = -98.1065 + 11.4724 (%CP) + 41.4475 (DE) - .1498 (%CP)2 - 1.2541 (DE)2 - 1.9309 (CP) (DE), with R2 = .74 and Sy.x = 8.63, where %CP is the percent crude protein of the forage. The best predictive equation for DN of sorghum silages, corn silages, legume hays and temperate grass hays contained both %CP and DE as predictor variables. The best predictive equations for DN of sorghum-sudan and bermudagrass hays contained only %CP and (%CP)2 as predictor variables. The predictive equation for DN of 14 alfalfa hays involved only the linear relationship to %CP. The best scheme for predicting NR as a percentage of N consumed in 116 forages was a combination of three equations as follows: 1) NR(%) = -47.0797 + 6.4733 (%CP) - .1542 (%CP)2 for forages, where DE = less than 2.42 Mcal/kg; 2) NR(%) = -67.6306 + 10.1354 (%CP) - .2726 (%CP)2, where DE = 2.42 - 2.87 Mcal/kg; and 3) NR(%) = 28.3458 + 4.4722 (%CP) - .1263 (%CP)2, where DE = greater than 2.87 Mcal/kg; R2 = .42 and Sy.x = 14.86.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Anatomical validation of two-dimensional echocardiography in the horse   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
This study was performed on 15 horses to validate the cardiac anatomy as imaged with two dimensional echocardiography (2DE) and to determine the accuracy of intracardiac measurements. 2DE images were recorded in five horses in life with a Diasonics DRF100 ultrasound system and a 3.5 MHz transducer in different tomographic planes. After slaughter, the hearts were fixed in 10 per cent formalin. To compare in vivo and in vitro results, the specimens were suspended in a water-filled tank and 2DE images were made using the same transducer positions as in life. In vitro 2DE and autopsy measurements of the same planes and parameters were also taken on a further 10 hearts, and the results were statistically compared. The in vivo 2DE images corresponded well with both in vitro 2DE recordings and anatomical sections. Repeatable imaging of each tomographic plane was possible on the post mortem hearts using intracardiac reference points. Comparison of parameters measured during in vitro 2DE and autopsy demonstrated a significant correlation between all 2DE and autopsy data (r: 0.879 to 0.926; P less than 0.001). Repeated 2DE measurements of each parameter showed a good reproducibility with coefficients of variation (CV%) varying between 4.6 to 10.6 per cent. The results suggest that 2DE is a reliable method for accurate anatomical evaluation of the equine heart and show the potential application of quantitative two dimensional echocardiography in the living horse.  相似文献

Fifteen conventional 8-week-old pigs were used to compare the morphology and function of Peyer's patches (PP) in different parts of the small intestine with special emphasis on the dome epithelium (DE). The comparisons were done by morphological observation through light and electron microscopy, and by the ability of the DE complex to phagocytize horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Dome epithelium of the PP in the jejunum was more superficially located in the mucosa in comparison with the ileum. The DE's of the ileum were much smaller, with an area of 3.7 micron2/DE, than that of the jejunum (18.4 micron2/DE). The number of DE areas/5 cm2 in the ileum was more than in the jejunum. However, the total surface area of DE/5 cm2 of PP, was larger in the jejunum (180.5 micron2) than in the ileum (55.6 micron2). Brown discoloration of diaminobenzidine-hydrogenperoxide (DAB+H2O2)-treated PP specimens, after HRP inoculation, intensified with post-inoculation time from 20 s to 5 min. The brown pigment first appeared on the surface of microvilli and infiltrated into the dome. No morphological differences were observed between the jejunum and the ileum in 1 micron thick Epon-embedded specimens. Intramucosally, brown pigment was almost always found in DE areas. The pigmented areas were more numerous in the jejunum but the color intensity showed no obvious difference. By transmission electron microscopy, the electron dense materials (which were interpreted as the products of HRP and DAB+H2O2) were found between the microvilli of membraneous (M) cells, in the intercellular spaces of the DE, and in a form similar to intracytoplasmic vesicles in the cytoplasm of M-cell and DE complex lymphocytes. Our results confirmed that DE of PP had much stronger phagocytic activity than did the ordinary villous epithelium. This evidence indicates that the DE complex of PP in the swine intestine is immunologically important.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to describe the DE content of tallgrass prairie hay (TPH). In trial 1, steers (n = 13; 277 +/- 15 kg of BW) were used in a 13 x 4 Latin square experiment to measure the DE of 13 samples of TPH fed at 1.5% of BW daily (average feeding level = 0.7 x the maintenance energy requirement). Hays were harvested from a variety of locations in east-central Kansas and represented an array of harvest dates and storage methods. In trial 2, steers (n = 16; 261 + 17 kg of BW) were used in a randomized complete block experiment to assess the effects of TPH intake level on DE. Hay was fed at 1.3, 1.7, 2.1, or 2.5% of BW daily, which corresponded to 0.9, 1.4, 1.6, and 1.9 x the maintenance energy requirement. Steers in both trials were fed soybean meal in amounts calculated to provide ruminally degradable protein (RDP) equal to 11% of digestible OM intake. Hay samples were analyzed for ash, N, NDF, ADF, ADIN, NDIN, acid detergent-insoluble ash, lignin, monosaccharides, and alkali-labile phenolic acids. Chemical components related to DE (P < 0.2) were subjected to iterative regression analysis to predict the DE concentration of the diet. Iterations were ceased when the error mean square of the regression was optimized. At 0.7 x maintenance, the dietary DE concentration (Mcal/kg) was described by: DE = 0.13(CP) - 0.16(ADL) + 2.11 (R(2) = 0.73; S(y*x) = 0.13). Forage OM digestion decreased linearly (P < 0.01) as forage intake increased. Apparent dietary DE concentration decreased by 7.4% when intake was increased from 1 to 2 x maintenance. When RDP was adequate, chemical composition values were useful indicators of forage DE content in our study. Moreover, increased forage intake depressed GE digestion by steers, but ultimately increased total DE intake. Energy digestion varied with forage intake in a predictable manner between 1 and 2 x the maintenance feeding level.  相似文献
