Currently, antimicrobial-resistant staphylococci, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP), are frequently isolated from canine superficial pyoderma in Japan. However, little is known regarding the nasal prevalence of MRSP in pet dogs. Here, we determined the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant staphylococci in nares and affected sites of pet dogs with superficial pyoderma. Of the 125 nares and 108 affected sites of pet dogs with superficial pyoderma, 107 (13 species) and 110 (eight species) staphylococci strains, respectively, were isolated. The isolation rate of S. pseudintermedius from pyoderma sites (82/110 strains, 74.5%) was significantly higher than that from nares (57/107 strains, 53.3%) (P<0.01). Notably, the prevalence of MRSP (18/57 strains, 31.6%) in nares was equivalent to that in pyoderma sites (28/82 strains, 34.1%). Furthermore, the phenotypes and genotypes of antimicrobial resistance in MRSP strains from nares were similar to those from pyoderma sites. Our findings revealed that the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant staphylococci in the nares of pet dogs with superficial pyoderma is the same level as that in affected sites. Therefore, considerable attention should be paid to the antimicrobial resistance of commensal staphylococci in companion animals. 相似文献

Erythrocyte pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is an inherited glycolytic erythroenzymopathy
caused by mutations of the PKLR gene. A causative mutation of the feline
PKLR gene was originally identified in Abyssinian and Somali cats in
the U.S.A. In the present study, a TaqMan probe-based real-time PCR genotyping assay was
developed and evaluated for rapid genotyping and large-scale screening for this mutation.
Furthermore, a genotyping survey was carried out in a population of four popular purebred
cats in Japan to determine the current mutant allele frequency. The assay clearly
displayed all genotypes of feline PK deficiency, indicating its suitability for
large-scale survey as well as diagnosis. The survey demonstrated that the mutant allele
frequency in Abyssinian and Somali cats was high enough to warrant measures to control and
prevent the disease. The mutant allele frequency was relatively low in Bengal and American
Shorthair cats; however, the testing should still be carried out to prevent the spread of
the disease. In addition, PK deficiency should always be considered in the differential
diagnosis of anemia in purebred cats in Japan as well as worldwide. 相似文献

Hypoxic conditions in various cancers are believed to relate with their
malignancy, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) has been shown to be a major
regulator of the response to low oxygen. In this study, we examined HIF-1α expression in
canine lymphoma using cell lines and clinical samples and found that these cells expressed
HIF-1α. Moreover, the HIF-1α inhibitors, echinomycin, YC-1 and 2-methoxyestradiol,
suppressed the proliferation of canine lymphoma cell lines. In a xenograft model using
NOD/scid mice, echinomycin treatment resulted in a dose-dependent regression of the tumor.
Our results suggest that HIF-1α contributes to the proliferation and/or survival of canine
lymphoma cells. Therefore, HIF-1α inhibitors may be potential agents to treat canine
lymphoma. 相似文献

Establishment of a Model of Spontaneously-Running-Tokushima-Shikoku Rats with Left Atrial Thrombosis
Takamasa Ohnishi Fumiko Hisaoka Masaki Morishima Akira Takahashi Nagakatsu Harada Kazuaki Mawatari Hidekazu Arai Emiko Yoshioka Satomi Toda Izumi Keisuke Yutaka Nakaya 《Journal of toxicologic pathology》2014,27(1):51-56
Studies that investigate the underlying mechanisms of disease and treatment options typically require the use of a suitable animal model. Few suitable animal models exist for left atrial thrombosis. Here, we demonstrated that the Spontaneously-Running-Tokushima-Shikoku (SPORTS) rat — a Wistar strain known for its running ability—is predisposed to the development of thrombi in the left atrium. We investigated the incidence of left atrial thrombosis in male (n = 16) and female (n = 17) SPORTS rats and observed organized atrial thrombosis in 57% and 38% of males and female rats, respectively. In the male rats, systolic blood pressures and heart rates were significantly higher in SPORTS rats than in control Wistar rats. We could not find any evidence of arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation, during electrocardiographic examination of SPORTS rats. We believe that the SPORTS rat could serve as a new research model for left atrial thrombosis; further, it may be suitable for research investigating the development of new antithrombotic approaches for the control of atrial thrombosis or familial thrombophilia in humans. 相似文献

Effect of the strain combination of the donor and recipient on production efficiency of W‐bearing sperm in mixed‐sex chimeric testes was analyzed. The combinations of the donors and recipients were White Leghorn (WL) and Rhode Island Red (RIR), and vice versa. Generated mixed‐sex chimeras that had the male phenotype at sexual maturity were classified into four groups: (1) a female WL donor and a male RIR recipient; (2) a male WL donor and a female RIR recipient; (3) a female RIR donor and a male WL recipient; (4) a male RIR donor and a female WL recipient. The mean number of W‐bearing sperm detected by in situ hybridization among 10 000 sperm observed were 147, 165, 30 and 45 in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The numbers in groups 1 and 2 were both significantly higher than those of groups 3 and 4 (P < 0.05). The combination of a WL donor and a RIR recipient produced W‐bearing sperm more efficiently than the reverse combination. 相似文献

In porcine oocytes, the function of the zona pellucida (ZP) with regard to sperm
penetration or prevention of polyspermy is not well understood. In the present study, we
investigated the effects of the ZP on sperm penetration during in vitro
fertilization (IVF). We collected in vitro-matured oocytes with a first
polar body (ZP+ oocytes). Some of them were freed from the ZP (ZP− oocytes) by two
treatments (pronase and mechanical pipetting), and the effects of these treatments on
sperm penetration parameters (sperm penetration rate and numbers of penetrated sperm per
oocyte) were evaluated. There was no evident difference in the parameters between the two
groups. Secondly, we compared the sperm penetration parameters of ZP+ and ZP− oocytes
using frozen-thawed epididymal spermatozoa from four boars. Sperm penetration into ZP+
oocytes was found to be accelerated relative to ZP− oocytes. Thirdly, we evaluated the
sperm penetration of ZP+ and ZP− oocytes at 1−10 h after IVF (3 h gamete co-incubation).
The proportions of oocytes penetrated by sperm increased significantly with time in both
groups; however, the number of penetrated sperm per oocyte did not increase in ZP−
oocytes. Finally, we performed IVF using ZP− oocytes divided into control (3 h) and
prolonged gamete co-incubation (5 h) groups. Greater numbers of sperm penetrated in the 5
h group than in the control group. These results suggest that the ZP and oolemma are not
competent factors for prevention of polyspermy in our present porcine IVF system. However,
it appears that ZP removal is one of the possibilities for reducing polyspermic
penetration in vitro in pigs. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Four steroidal ketones were isolated from the holdfast of cultivated Laminaria japonica . The structures were characterized as ergosta-4,24(28)-diene-3-one (1), ergosta-4,24(28)-diene-3,6-dione (2), stigmasta-4,24(28)-diene-3-one (3) and stigmasta-4,24(28)-diene-3,6-dione (4), by spectral data. Compounds 2 and 4 were shown to be cytotoxic against the MCF-7 human breast cancer cell, and the growth of MCF-7 was inhibited by 96% and 79%, respectively, at 10 µg/mL. It is the first report on the isolation of cytotoxic steroidal ketones from the kelp in the genus of Laminaria. 相似文献

We measured the concentrations of S-100B, a marker protein used in humans to detect brain damage, in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of clinically normal cattle (n=15, mean age +/- SD: 31.8 +/- 37.5 months) and of cattle with various inflammatory disorders (n=43, 70.6 +/- 31.9 months). The mean +/- SD CSF S-100B level was 2.9 +/- 1.6 ng/ml in the normal group and 7.0 +/- 7.4 ng/ml in the diseased group. Thirteen diseased cattle that had developed no obvious neurological signs showed abnormally high S-100B concentrations (> 8.0 ng/ml), whereas the two cattle with neurological disorders did not. No particular disease could be related to the S-100B rise. Therefore, it remains inconclusive whether measurement of CSF S-100B concentration is useful in veterinary neurological diagnosis. 相似文献
