Captive penguins with respiratory diseases exhibit advanced pathological conditions upon the appearance of clinical signs. Therefore, the successful treatment of respiratory diseases remains difficult after the onset of clinical signs, leading to high mortality rates. In this study, we measured air sac volume using computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the respiratory condition of penguins. In a regular quarterly health checkup, blood samples were collected from 45 penguins housed at an aquarium in Hokkaido, Japan. A total of 12 penguins with abnormal blood parameters underwent CT. The air sac volumes were calculated in three-dimensional CT, and the scatter plots of the air sac volumes and body weights were analyzed. No correlation was found between the air sac volume and body weight in both the gentoo and king penguins. Two gentoo penguins with infiltration and one king penguin with multiple nodules on CT were tentatively diagnosed with aspergillosis and treated with oral administration of itraconazole. Follow-up CT examination was performed until the outcome: healed or died. The mean air sac volumes of the two gentoo penguins, which recovered after treatment, increased from 273.9 and 329.0 cm3 before healing to 449.0 and 424.6 cm3 after healing, respectively. Meanwhile, the air sac volume of the king penguin, which subsequently died, decreased from 1,556.9 to 920.6 cm3 despite treatment. Changes of the air sac volume in the same individual could be useful for evaluating the respiratory condition of penguins. 相似文献

The distribution pattern and frequency of isolates of a snow mold fungus, Typhula ishikariensis biotype A belonging to a predominant MCG (mycelial compatibility group, referred to as super MCG), were surveyed throughout
its habitat from northern Honshu to eastern Hokkaido. About 38 and 14% of isolates examined belonged to super MCG in eastern
and central Hokkaido, respectively ; however, super MCG was never found in southern Hokkaido or northern Honshu. These findings
imply that T. ishikariensis biotype A consists of two populations in Japan, i.e., one that is distributed in Honshu and southern Hokkaido and lacks super MCG isolates, and the other that includes super
MCG isolates and exists in central and eastern Hokkaido. The difference in distribution pattern of the two populations is
discussed in terms of geological history during the Pleistocene (2 million to 10 thousand years ago). The tendency of global
warming, which alleviates freezing damage, was considered to be responsible for the outbreak of this fungus in eastern Hokkaido.

Nondigestible oligosaccharides are not digested in the small intestine, but are fermented by bacteria colonizing in the large intestine. Physiological effects of non‐digestible oligosaccharides have been considered to be conferred by the fermentation of bacteria colonizing in the large intestine. Because cellooligosaccharide is a non‐digestible oligosaccharide, various physiological effects are expected. However, physiological functions of cellooligosaccharide are not well understood. This experiment was conducted to clarify the effect of dietary supplementation with cellooligosaccharide on the growth performance in weanling pigs. The result showed that average daily gain was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in pigs fed a diet supplemented with cellooligosaccharide than in pigs without cellooligosaccharide. There was a tendency to increasing average daily feed intake in pigs with cellooligosaccharide, though the significant difference was not detected (P = 0.18). Feed efficiency and nutrient digestibility of feces and ileum were not changed by feeding cellooligosaccharide. In addition, blood urea nitrogen was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in pigs fed the diet supplemented with cellooligosaccharide than in pigs without cellooligosaccharide. The concentrations of acetic and iso‐valeric acids in the cecum of pigs fed the diet with cellooligosaccharide tended to be higher (P < 0.10) than those without cellooligosaccharide. The results obtained in this study demonstrated that dietary supplementation with cellooligosaccharide improves growth performance in weanling pigs. 相似文献

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides Nash) cells derived from an inflorescence were cultured in a modified N6 liquid medium supplemented with 10 µm 2,4‐D and 10 mm proline. Exponentially growing cell suspensions were subcultured with a selection medium containing glufosinate (ammonium dl ‐homoalanin‐4‐yl(methyl)phosphinate). The glufosinate‐resistant cells which can grow in a medium containing 5 × 10?5 M glufosinate was selected by a stepwise selection, and its I50 value was determined to be 4.2 × 10?5 M. The growth of susceptible cells was inhibited by lower concentrations of glufosinate and its I50 value was 2.5 × 10?7 M. This indicated that the selected cells were 170‐fold resistant compared with the susceptible cells. Glutamine synthetase (GS) activity of the resistant cells was twice as high as that of the susceptible cells. The I50 values of glufosinate were 3.2 × 10?5 M and 9.0 × 10?7 M for GS from the resistant and susceptible cells, respectively. The accumulation of ammonia caused by GS inhibition was higher in the susceptible cells. Absorption of [3,4–14C]glufosinate was not significantly different between the resistant and susceptible cells. Both cell types did not metabolize glufosinate. These results suggest that the resistance of the selected vetiver cell suspension to glufosinate is mainly due to increased GS activity and its decreased sensitivity to the herbicide. 相似文献

Gastric ulcers cause appetite loss, poor body condition, and colic in horses. This study investigated the protective effect of a rice fermented extract on the gastric mucosa in 17 healthy Thoroughbreds. For one month, horses in the rice fermented extract (nine horses) and control (eight horses) groups were orally administered a rice fermented extract (100%; 0.2 ml/kg, SID) and tap water (0.2 ml/kg), respectively. Gastric endoscopic images were obtained before and one month after rice fermented extract administration. The gastric ulcer score was lower after administration (median, 1; maximum, 2; minimum, 1) than before administration (median, 4; maximum, 4; minimum, 3) in the rice fermented extract group (P<0.05). In conclusion, the administration of a rice fermented extract for one month improves gastric mucosal lesions in Thoroughbreds with gastric ulcers. 相似文献

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) is the main active component of tea polyphenol and shows several biological activities, such as antimicrobial, antitumor‐promoting, anti‐inflammatory and anti‐oxidative activities. In the present study, the inhibitory effect of EGCg on bovine coronavirus (BCV) propagation in Madin‐Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells was investigated. EGCg at concentrations of less than 10 µg/mL did not show any cytotoxicity to MDBK cells. BCV propagation was significantly inhibited by pretreatment of the virus with EGCg (0.5–10 µg/mL) before virus inoculation in dose‐dependent, incubation time‐dependent and temperature‐dependent manners. The antiviral effect of pretreating MDBK cells with EGCg on BCV propagation was much weaker than that of pretreating BCV with EGCg. The hemagglutination activity of BCV was also reduced by EGCg in a dose‐dependent manner. These results demonstrate that EGCg possesses a distinct anti‐BCV activity and strongly suggest that EGCg interferes with the adsorption of BCV to MDBK cells by the interaction of EGCg with BCV particles. EGCg may therefore be a useful candidate for controlling BCV infection more effectively. 相似文献

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is the etiological agent of enzootic bovine leukosis, the most common neoplastic disease of cattle worldwide and a serious problem for the cattle industry. Previous studies have shown the molecular prevalence of BLV and the coexistence of BLV genotype-1 and -4 in Egyptian dairy cattle; however, the molecular characteristics of BLV in Egyptian beef cattle are unknown. Therefore, we collected blood samples of 168 beef cattle from slaughterhouses in three governorates in Egypt. Based on BLV-CoCoMo-qPCR-2 targeting long terminal repeats and nested PCR targeting the env-gp51 gene, the BLV provirus infection rates were found to be 47/168 (28.0%) and 42/168 (25.0%), respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 501 bp of the BLV env-gp51 gene from 42 BLV isolates revealed that at least six distinctive strains (b, e, f, g, x, and z) were prevalent in cattle across the examined regions. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis of the 420 bp sequence of the BLV env-gp51 region of the six strains against 11 known genotypes showed that the strains b, e, f, and g were clustered into genotype-1, and strains x and z were clustered into genotype-4. Our results also indicated that strains b and x exist in both dairy and beef cattle in Egypt. The present study is the first to detect and genotype BLV among beef cattle in Egypt. 相似文献
