Abstract The annual survey of the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (JRDR) was sent to 4458 dialysis facilities at end 2018; among these facilities, 4402 (98.7%) responded facility questionnaire, and 4222 (94.7%) patient questionnaire. number chronic patients in Japan continues increase every year; as 2018, it had reached 339,841 patients, representing 2688 per million population. Among prevalent mean age 68.75 years, diabetic nephropathy most common primary disease...
We established long-term cell lines of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for human leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) from peripheral blood (PBL) a patient with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), an HTLV-l-carrler Sjögren syndrome, and asymptomatic HTLV-l-carrier, by repeated stimulation autologous HTLV-I-Infected cells In vitro. CTL derived the HAM/TSP expressed CD8 antigen, their function was restricted HLA-A2. They showed effects predominantly against...
Abstract Background The 2020 Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy Renal Data Registry (JRDR) annual survey was sent to 4493 dialysis facilities in Japan. Methods Questionnaires were all that provide patients with therapy collected and compiled form cross-sectional results of renal replacement from various aspects. Results In total, 4437 (98.8%) responded the facility questionnaire 4271 (95.1%) patient questionnaire. number chronic Japan continues increase every year, reaching 347,671 at end...
We report the experimental results of valence band offset at a ZnO/GaN (0001) heterointerface. The heterointerface is prepared by growing ZnO layer on GaN/Al2O3, in which epitaxially deposited plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy, while GaN template metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition. Ex situ ultraviolet and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to measure ΔEV. measurements are done before after Ar+ ion cleaning surfaces. Type-II alignments with offsets ΔEV=1.0 eV (before...
Abstract Background Rhizotoxic ions in problem soils inhibit nutrient and water acquisition by roots, which turn leads to reduced crop yields. Previous studies on the effects of rhizotoxic root growth physiological functions suggested that some mechanisms were common all rhizotoxins, while others more specific. To understand this complex system, we performed comparative transcriptomic analysis with various ions, followed bioinformatics analysis, model plant Arabidopsis thaliana . Results...
We investigated the relationship between ruminal pH and bacteria in calves fed calf starter with without forage during weaning transition. First, 16 Holstein bull were obtained from dairy farms equipped rumen cannulas by cannulation surgery. Then, (73.5 ± 4.2 kg; mean SE) assigned to groups either (HAY, n = 8) or (CON, 8), all weaned at 8 weeks of age. Ruminal was measured continuously, fluid samples collected 7, 8, 9, 11 age, namely -1, 0, 1, 3 after weaning, respectively, assess volatile...
Elevated CO2 affects plant growth and photosynthesis, which results in changes respiration. However, the mechanisms underlying responses of respiration to elevated are poorly understood. In this study, we measured diurnal transcript levels genes encoding respiratory enzymes, maximal activities enzymes primary metabolite shoots Arabidopsis thaliana grown under moderate or conditions (390 780 parts per million by volume CO2, respectively). We examined relationships between these rates. Under...
Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) is characterized by a pH depression, and microbiota can also be affected higher acidity and/or dietary changes. Previous studies have revealed similar patterns in reduction the rumen reticulum, whereas changes reticular bacterial community following high-grain diet are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate structure simultaneously with those rumen.SARA diagnosed when remained under 5.6 for 350 ± 14 312 24 min/d, respectively, on last...
Twelve ruminally cannulated Holstein calves (age, 12 ± 3 weeks) were used to identify the effect of a probiotic comprised Lactobacillus plantarum, Enterococcus faecium and Clostridium butyricum on ruminal components. The adapted diet containing 50% high-concentrate (standard diet) for 1 week, then, was given once daily 5 days (day 1–5) at 1.5 or 3.0 g/100 kg body weight groups four each. Four additional fed standard without served as corresponding control. Ruminal pH measured continuously...
Biomass allocation between shoots and roots is an important strategy used by plants to optimize growth in various environments.Root shoot mass ratios typically increase response high CO 2 , a trend particularly evident under abiotic stress.We investigated this preferential root (PRG) Arabidopsis thaliana cultivated low pH/high or nitrogen (N)/high conditions.Previous studies have suggested that changes plant hormone, carbon (C) N status may be related PRG.We therefore examined the mechanisms...
Plant growth and metabolism are regulated in response to various environmental factors. To investigate modulations plant by the combined action of elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration other nutritional factors, we performed targeted metabolomic analysis using Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown under 24 different conditions where concentration, amounts species nitrogen source, light intensity were modified. Our results indicate that both biosynthesis diverse metabolites promoted proportion...
Effects of a bacterial probiotic (BP) on ruminal fermentation and plasma metabolites were evaluated in four Holstein cattle (body weight, 645 ± 62 kg; mean SD) with induced subacute acidosis (SARA). SARA was by feeding SARA-inducing diet, thereafter, 20, 50 or 100 g per head commercial BP administered for 7 consecutive days during the morning feeding. Cattle without served as control. The 24-hr pH control lower, whereas those groups 20 significantly higher compared to from 2 7. Circadian...
To increase intramuscular fat accumulation, Japanese Black cattle are commonly fed a high-grain diet from 10 to 30 months of age although it can result in the abnormal accumulation organic acids rumen. We explored effect long-term high-concentrate feeding on ruminal pH and fermentation, its rumen bacterial community beef during 20-month fattening period. Nine castrated fistulated were housed with free access food water throughout study period (10–30 age). The stages included Early, Middle,...

We developed a real-time PCR procedure followed by melting curve analysis using the green fluorescence dye SYBR Green I for rapid detection and differentiation of hemplasmas in cattle. Analysis temperature (Tm) products allowed 2 bovine hemoplasmas, Mycoplasma wenyonii provisional species, ;Candidatus haemobos' (a synonym M. haemobovis'). The Tm (mean +/- S.E.) from hemoplasmas were 86.98 0.12 degrees C 82.04 0.27 C, respectively; [corrected] Candidatus experiments. protocol described...
