Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is an endogenous signaling molecule involved in multiple biological phenomena, including inflammation. The effects of extracellular ATP the lung have not been fully clarified. This study examined 1) roles pathogenesis inflammation and 2) possibility involvement mechanical ventilation-induced injury.The intratracheal on permeability, edema or were assessed by measurements wet-to-dry weight ratio permeability index, immunohistochemistry expression...
An experiment was conducted to assess the antioxidant contents and activities of colored rice grains evaluate their nutritive characteristics in terms chemical composition situ ruminal degradation.Ten cultivars (Oryza sativa L.) collected from several areas Japan were studied, control without pigment, maize, barley, wheat used as grains. Their compositions, polyphenol contents, total capacity (TAC), degradation determined.The starch range 73.5% 79.6%, similar that grain. The black red...
ABSTRACT Total mixed ration (TMR) silage in different seasons was prepared with apple refuse, orchardgrass hay, silage, corn and a commercial compound feed Tohoku, Japan, tofu cake, brewers' grains, tall fescue Sudangrass timothy alfalfa hay Shikoku, respectively, their fermentation quality microorganism composition were evaluated. In the TMR spring, autumn winter displayed poor quality, pH value above 4.7, harmful microorganisms such as escherichia, yeasts molds detected even after 60 days...
Antimicrobials are used on livestock farms to treat and prevent infectious animal diseases promote the growth of livestock. We monitored prevalence antibiotic-resistant
Pain assessment is highly recommended in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. However, pain intensity and its impact on outcomes these remain obscure. We collected the results of routine assessments, utilizing behavioral scale (BPS), from 151 Risk factors associated with a event, defined as BPS >5, patient were investigated. A total consecutive adult ventilation for more than 24 h single 10-bed ICU enrolled this study. The highest within 48 after initiation was collected, well...
ABSTRACT Anthocyanin in purple corn ( Zea mays L.) has been reported to show several functional and biological attributes, displaying antioxidant, antiobesity antidiabetic effects monogastric animals. The objective of this study was investigate the effect feeding anthocyanin‐rich L., Choko C922) silage on digestibility, milk production plasma enzyme activities lactating dairy cows. cows were fed diets based control or (AR treatment) a crossover design. silage‐based diet had lower starch...
This experiment aimed to determine the changes in chemical composition, fermentation profile, situ disappearance characteristics, and nutrient losses of ensiled total mixed ration (TMR) containing steam-flaked corn or brown rice (BR) during storage. TMRs for dairy cows, either BR at 31.9% with 15.2% rye silage, 40.5% alfalfa 5.0% beet pulp 7.0% soybean meal, were prepared (dry matter (DM) basis). Each TMR was placed a plastic drum silo, stored 23°C an air-conditioned room sampled 0, 7, 14,...
Six wethers were used in a digestibility experiment arranged as replicated 3 x Latin square to evaluate the nutritive value of total mixed ration (TMR) silages that made from ensiling TMR containing 0, 6.5 and 13.0% (dry matter basis) spent mushroom substrate (SMS) for 45 days (treatments denoted CSMS, LSMS HSMS, respectively). The amount SMS replaced same timothy hay respective TMR. All well preserved indicated by their low pH, ammonia-N high lactic acid contents. Increasing levels silage...
ABSTRACT Nine multiparous Holstein cows were used in a replicated 3 × Latin square design to determine the effects of substituting corn grain with brown rice (BR) total mixed ration (TMR) silage on milk yield, ruminal fermentation and nitrogen (N) balance. The TMR silages made from ensiling containing (dry matter basis) 50.1% forage combination, 49.9% concentrate. portion diets contained 31.2% steam‐flaked corn, BR or an equal mixture BR. Dietary treatments did not affect dry intake, yield...
baled (MR-810; Takakita, Mie, Japan), and wrapped (SW1000; Takakita) with white plastic film as previously reported by Nishida et al. (2007).The bales were stored outdoors on the ground until being opened.Portions of forage materials used to prepare bag drum silo
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect substituting brown rice grain for corn in total mixed ration ( TMR ) silage containing food by‐products on milk production, whole‐tract nutrient digestibility and nitrogen balance dairy cows. Six multiparous Holstein cows were used a crossover design with two dietary treatments: diet 30.9% steam‐flaked (corn or (rice wet soybean curd residue soy sauce cake. Dietary treatment did not affect dry matter intake, yield compositions...
Moesin belongs to the ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) protein family and participates in cellular functions, such as morphogenesis motility, by cross-linking between actin cytoskeleton plasma membranes. Although moesin seems necessary for tissue construction repair, its function at whole body level remains elusive, perhaps because of redundancy among ERM proteins. To determine role played modulation pulmonary alveolar structure associated with lung injury we examined morphological changes effect...
ABSTRACT The aim of this research was to investigate the effect peppermint feeding on dry matter intake, nutrient digestibility, ruminal fermentation and milk production in early lactating cows. Four Holstein cows were offered a diet with 5% dried four remained without basis. addition feed did not affect although eating time increased by mixing peppermint. There no significant differences digestibilities between two treatments. ammonia volatile fatty acids concentrations similar treatments,...
The effects of green tea (Camellia sinensis) waste silage and supplemental polyethylene glycol (PEG) on rumen fermentation blood components were studied in cattle.Six Holstein steers fed three diets a 3×3 Latin square design, replicated twice.One diet was control with no added silage, the other two supplemented (20% dry matter) either or without PEG (tea).Most parameters including major volatile fatty acids (VFA) not affected by treatments.The concentrations high density lipoprotein...
Alveolar epithelial cell death plays a crucial role in the progression of acute lung injury. We have demonstrated up-regulation Fas expression on alveolar cells, and soluble ligand secretion from inflammatory cells upon Here we show that lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human monocyte line THP-1 releases ligand, conditioned medium induces apoptosis pulmonary adenocarcinoma A549. Activation caspase-3 -8 is associated with apoptosis. Gene targeting A549 by specific small interfering RNA impairs...
Abstract Some anthocyanins have been reported to exhibit antioxidant activity and enhance enzyme activity. The aim of this study was determine the fermentative quality purple rice, which is abundant in anthocyanin, its effects on digestibility, ruminal fermentation oxidative status markers sheep. whole crop silages control rice were prepared drum silos after materials chopped lactic acid bacteria inoculated. These followed by a feeding trial using eight wethers 2 × crossover design. Both...
Molasses is a by-product from refining sugarcane beets into sugar. In this study, we assessed the inhibitory effect of molasses concentrate (SMC) on postprandial hyperglycemia using mouse model. Starch administration male ICR mice increased blood glucose levels, reaching peak 60 min after administration. The simultaneous SMC markedly suppressed increase, and area under curve was reduced until 240 Simultaneous an ethanol-precipitated fraction (Et-Fr) with starch also exerted significant...
