This study aims to estimate the strain additive genetic and heterotic effects on growth and survival in a 4 × 4 complete diallel cross‐population of Nile tilapia. Mass spawning was practised in replicate hapas to simultaneously produce progeny of all crosses for performance testing in three environments (in ponds at 20–30°C, in tanks at 15–20°C and in tanks at 20–25°C). A total of 6735 individually tagged fish were tested over a grow‐out period of 278 days. Statistical analyses were carried out on 5097 body trait records available at harvest. Across the test environments, the NOVIT4 strain exhibited the highest additive genetic values for both growth and survival (19% and 33% above the pure strain mean respectively). The heterosis effect was low and not different from zero for both traits. The ranking of strains with respect to their additive genetic values generally did not change between tank environments (15–20 vs. 20–25°C). The correlations of the additive genetic performance between tank environments were also high (0.84), suggesting that strain by water temperature interaction was likely not biologically important. By contrast, the differences in both performance and survival between pond and tank environments were statistically significant, indicating that this effect should be accounted for in future breeding programmes. The large additive genetic effect among strains coupled with the non‐significant heterotic effects in our study suggest that future breeding programme in this population of Nile tilapia should be based on a wise choice of strain or by exploiting the additive genetic variation through selective breeding. 相似文献

ObjectiveTo compare cardiac output (CO) measured by Doppler echocardiography and thermodilution techniques in spontaneously breathing dogs during continuous infusion of propofol. To do so, CO was obtained using the thermodilution method (COTD) and Doppler evaluation of pulmonary flow (CODP) and aortic flow (CODA).Study designProspective cohort study.AnimalsEight adult dogs weighing 8.3 ± 2.0 kg.MethodsPropofol was used for induction (7.5 ± 1.9 mg kg?1 IV) followed by a continuous rate infusion at 0.7 mg kg?1 minute?1. The animals were positioned in left lateral recumbency on an echocardiography table that allowed for positioning of the transducer at the 3rd and 5th intercostal spaces of the left hemithorax for Doppler evaluation of pulmonary and aortic valves, respectively. CODP and CODA were calculated from pulmonary and aortic velocity spectra, respectively. A pulmonary artery catheter was inserted via the jugular vein and positioned inside the lumen of the pulmonary artery in order to evaluate COTD. The first measurement of COTD, CODP and CODA was performed 30 minutes after beginning continuous infusion (T0) and then at 15‐minute intervals (T15, T30, T45 and T60). Numeric data were submitted to two‐way anova for repeated measurements, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Bland &; Altman analysis. Data are presented as mean ± SD.ResultsAt T0, COTD was lower than CODA. CODA was higher than COTD and CODP at T30, T45 and T60. The difference between the COTD and CODP, when all data were included, was ?0.04 ± 0.22 L minute?1 and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) was 0.86. The difference between the COTD and CODA was ?0.87 ± 0.54 L minute?1 and r = 0.69. For COTD and CODP, the difference was ?0.82 ± 0.59 L minute?1 and r = 0.61.ConclusionDoppler evaluation of pulmonary flow was a clinically acceptable method for assessing the CO in propofol‐anesthetized dogs. 相似文献

A delayed‐release formulation of liposome‐encapsulated oxymorphone (LEO) was produced using a novel dehydration–rehydration technique. Preparations were standardized spectrophotometrically against a known concentration of the drug. The purpose of this study was to test the analgesic properties of LEO in a rat model of neuropathic pain. Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into control (non‐neuropathic) and test (neuropathic) groups. Control and test groups were administered one SC injection of (i) vehicle liposomes (negative control treatment); (ii) liposome‐encapsulated morphine, 2.8 mg kg?1 (positive control treatment); or (iii) LEO, 1.2 mg kg?1. All treatments were administered after baseline thermal withdrawal latencies (TWL) were determined (9.2 ± 0.39 seconds (mean ± SEM)). Test groups then underwent sciatic ligation to induce neuropathic pain. TWL were determined in all six groups (n = 8) daily for 1 week. In a separate group of age‐matched rats, blood (0.3 mL from the jugular vein) and urine (1–2 mL via metabolism cages) were collected daily for 7 days after administration of LEO (1.2 mg kg?1). TWL did not change in the control rats given liposome‐encapsulated sucrose or morphine. There was a small increase (p = 0.04) in TWL in control rats given LEO, likely as a result of the relatively higher dose of oxymorphone compared with morphine based on receptor affinity. TWL in test rats given blank liposomes decreased significantly (p < 0.001) by day 4 (7.1 ± 0.5 seconds), with a maximal decrease by day 7 (5.1 ± 0.36 seconds), indicating development of full hyperalgesia. In contrast, rats given liposome‐encapsulated morphine or oxymorphone had no change in TWL at day 4, indicating that these preparations prevented hyperalgesia after a single injection. This treatment effect persisted through day 7. Serum concentrations of oxymorphone after a single injection of LEO peaked at 4 hours (6.8 ± 0.82 ng mL?1) and were detectable through day 4 (0.98 ± 0.003 ng mL?1), while urine concentrations of drug were detectable through day 7. This result suggests that oxymorphone metabolites might have been responsible for the protracted analgesic response. The encapsulation efficiency of oxymorphone using this novel technique was approximately 96%. In conclusion, liposome encapsulation of oxymorphone proved to be an efficient mechanism to provide a delayed‐release formulation of this opioid. This single dose of subcutaneously administered liposome‐encapsulated oxymorphone was effective in preventing hyperalgesia for 7 days in this animal model of neuropathic pain. 相似文献

Ultraviolet light analysis of a fossil of the theropod dinosaur Scipionyx samniticus revealed that the liver subdivided the visceral cavity into distinct anterior pleuropericardial and posterior abdominal regions. In addition, Scipionyx apparently had diaphragmatic musculature and a dorsally attached posterior colon. These features provide evidence that diaphragm-assisted lung ventilation was present in theropods and that these dinosaurs may have used a pattern of exercise physiology unlike that in any group of living tetrapods. 相似文献

The vascular changes associated with endometrial maturation in preparation for embryo implantation depend on numerous growth factors, known to regulate key angiogenic events. Primarily, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family promotes vascular growth, whilst the angiopoietins maintain blood vessel integrity. The aim was to analyse protein levels of VEGFA ligand and receptors, Angiopoietin‐1 and 2 (ANG1/2) and endothelial cell receptor tyrosine kinase (TIE‐2) in the ovine endometrium in the follicular and luteal phases of the oestrus cycle and in response to ovarian steroids. VEGFA and its receptors were localized in both vascular cells and non‐vascular epithelium (glandular and luminal epithelium) and stroma cells. VEGFA and VEGFR2 proteins were elevated in vascular cells in follicular phase endometrium, compared to luteal phase, most significantly in response to oestradiol. VEGFR1 was expressed by epithelial cells and endothelial cells and was stimulated in response to oestradiol. In contrast, Ang‐1 and Ang‐2 proteins were elevated in luteal phase endometrium compared to follicular phase, and in response to progesterone, evident in vascular smooth muscle cells and glands which surround TIE‐2‐expressing blood vessels. Our findings indicate that VEGFA is stimulated by oestradiol, most predominantly in follicular phase endometrium, and Ang‐1 and 2 are stimulated by progesterone and were increased during the luteal phase of the oestrus cycle, during the time of vascular maturation. 相似文献
