Fever and acute phase response induced in dwarf goats by endotoxin and bovine and human recombinant tumour necrosis factor alpha

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF), a polypeptide produced by mononuclear phagocytes, has been implicated as an important mediator of inflammatory processes and of clinical manifestations in acute infectious diseases. To study further the potential role of TNF in infectious diseases, recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) derived human (r.HuTNF-alpha) and bovine TNF (r.BoTNF-alpha) were intravenously (i.v.) administered in dwarf goats. Rectal temperature, heart rate, rumen motility, plasma zinc and iron concentrations, and certain other blood biochemical and haematological values were studied and compared with the changes seen after E. coli endotoxin (LPS) was administered (dose: 0.1 microgram/kg i.v.). Following a single injection of 4 micrograms/kg of r.BoTNF-alpha, shivering and biphasic febrile response were observed, accompanied by tachycardia, inhibition of rumen contractions, drop in plasma zinc and iron concentrations, lymphopenia, and neutropenia followed by neutrophilia. The i.v. administration of a single injection of 4 micrograms/kg r.HuTNF-alpha induced shivering and biphasic febrile responses, accompanied by anorexia and a similar drop in plasma trace metal concentrations when compared with r.BoTNF-alpha-treated goats. The TNF-alpha-induced symptoms were essentially the same as those that occurred after LPS administration. However, the time of onset of these changes after the injection of TNF-alpha was significantly shorter than after LPS. Moreover, the r.BoTNF-alpha induced a longer lasting neutrophilic leucopenia, less neutrophilia, and a more persistent lymphopenia than after LPS injection. Neither r.BoTNF-alpha nor LPS caused severe haemo-concentration. Furthermore, no cross-tolerance between r.BoTNF-alpha and LPS could be demonstrated. We conclude that both r.BoTNF-alpha and r.HuTNF-alpha induce many of the physiologic, haematologic and metabolic changes that characterize the acute phase response to LPS. The overlapping biological activities of r.BoTNF-alpha, r.HuTNF-alpha and LPS in dwarf goats may indicate that both recombinant tumour necrosis factors have some homology with caprine TNF-alpha.     

Einfluß von nutritiven Faktoren während einer Lernphase auf die Entstehung eines spezifischen Lysinhungers bei Legehennen

Bei 72 einzeln gehaltenen Legehennen wurde die Fähigkeit zur selektiven Lysinaufnahme überprüft. 2 unterschiedliche Alleinfutter auf der Basis von Federmehl (A) oder Maiskleber (B), aber mit dem gleichen defizitären Lysingehalt (0,36%), wurden während einer zweiwöchigen Lernphase jeweils an eine Hälfte der Tiere verfuttert. Anschließend wurden beide Vorbehandlungen in je 4 Gruppen geteilt, und eine der Mangelrationen und eine mit Lysin bedarfsgerecht supplementierte Ration (A+ bzw. B+, 0,64%) in folgenden Kombinationen zur Selbstauswahl über 14 Tage angeboten: A/A+, A/B+, B/A+ und B/B+. Über den prozentualen Rationsanteil am Gesamtfutterverzehr wurde die selektierte Lysinaufnahme ermittelt. Mit beiden Mangelrationen wurde eine Anorexie und in Folge eine Leistungsdepression ausgelöst, die jedoch bei B stärker ausgeprägt war. Die lysinangereicherte Ration wurde in fast allen Fällen innerhalb weniger Tage signifikant und stetig zunehmend bevorzugt, was für einen erlernten Lysinappetit bzw. -hunger spricht. Gleichzeitig wurde eine deutlichere Präferenz für die Federmehlration beobachtet, die bei Gruppe A/B+ nach B sogar zu einer Ablehnung der ergänzten Maiskleberration führte. Vertrautheit bzw. Neuartigkeit und sensorische Qualitäten einer Ration spielten neben den physiologischen Effekten eine bedeutende Rolle bei der Selbstauswahl. Die komplexen Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Futter, hedonistischen Komponenten und Erfahrung für die Entwicklung eines spezifischen Hungers wurden diskutiert.     

Behavioral responses of red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) to viewing a conspecific distressed by 4-Aminopyridine

4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) is the only pesticide that can be legally used in the US to reduce bird damage in ripening grain fields. Birds that consume grain baits treated with 4-AP (‘Avitrol’ FC-99®) exhibit erratic behavior and emit vocalizations that presumably scare away the rest of the flock. Yet the behavior of 4-A Pintoxicated birds has not been documented, and we do not know how other birds react when observing these intoxicated birds or what these observers learn from their experience. Hence, we examined the behavior of 15 4-A Pintoxicated red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus (L.)) and found that initial signs of intoxication occurred 12.5 min after consumption of the bait, with death following 16.3 min later. During this 16-min intoxication period, birds gradually lost muscular control, making their movements and vocalizations weaker until hardly perceptible. Other captive red-winged blackbirds (‘observers’) gave more alarm calls while witnessing a 4-A P-intoxicated bird in one room of their cage (treatment period) than they did during the pre-treatment period. Immediately after the intoxicated bird died and was removed from the room, the observers' behaviour returned to pre-treatment levels. Broadcasting calls of an intoxicated bird or the placement of an untreated bird in one of the rooms had little effect on the observers' behavior. In another experiment, the placement of a 4-A Pintoxicated or untreated red-winged blackbird or the broadcast of calls of an intoxicated bird at a feed station did not affect the number of free-ranging conspecifics feeding, within sight of, or vocalizing at, these feeder stations. These results suggest that red-winged blackbirds learn little from witnessing a distressed conspecific.     

Small intestine and small colon neuropathy in equine dysautonomia (grass sickness)

The number of neurons in the coeliacomesenteric ganglia and the myenteric and submucosal plexuses of the jejunum, ileum and small colon, and the pathological changes induced in them, were studied in various types of equine dysautonomia. In all forms of dysautonomia, severe and extensive neuron loss and damage occurred in the ileum. In acute and subacute dysautonomia, jejunal neuron loss and damage were severe, but in chronic cases significantly less loss or damage occurred. The damage followed the same pattern in the small colon but it was always less obvious than in the jejunum. The distribution of the damage was uniform within a segment of the intestine. In fatal cases of dysautonomia, the clinical severity and duration of illness seems, in most instances, to be related to the amount of neuronal disruption occurring in the jejunum. Severe disruption results in acute/subacute dysautonomia, while milder damage leads to the chronic form.No case of dysautonomia was encountered in which enteric neuron loss and damage occurred without significant neuronal disruption also occurring in the coeliacomesenteric ganglia.Ileal neuronal damage and loss are not invariably worse than that in the jejunum, and the possible reasons for this, together with the relationship between neuronal damage and possible causes of dysautonomia, are discussed.Abbreviations H&E haematoxylin and eosin Deceased.

CCC对葡萄试管苗生长的影响

ＣＣＣ对葡萄试管苗的茎叶生长有显著的抑制作用，茎的高度、节数及节间长度均有明显减少；ＣＣＣ对生根率没有明显影响，但对插段的生根数量有较大的影响，在一定浓度范围内（２０～８０ｍｇ／Ｌ）ＣＣＣ处理的生根数量有所增加，其中以４０ｍｇ／Ｌ时增加最多，为８．６７～８．９５条／段。但ＣＣＣ对根系伸长有明显的抑制作用，随着ＣＣＣ浓度的升高根长逐渐变短；从干、鲜重的变化来看，ＣＣＣ处理后墓叶的干、鲜重是随着浓度的升高而减少，但根系的干、鲜重在０～４０ｍｇ／Ｌ范围内呈略增加的趋势，４０ｍｇ／Ｌ以后则大幅度减少。     

高梁不育系Tx3197A减数分裂中染色体行为

以Ｔｘ３１９７Ｂ和晋粱５号为对照，对Ｔｘ３１９７Ａ进行了观察。结果发现，减数分裂前期Ⅰ和中期Ⅰ无明显异常。自后期Ⅰ开始，染色体行为出现了多类型的异常现象，导致减数分裂不能正常进行，无法形成花粉粒，从而产生雄性不育。
