Contents Transplantation of testicular cells, also known as spermatogonial stem cell transplantation, is a relatively new approach in the field male infertility. We used this technique to determine whether donor‐derived sperm production unrelated porcine recipients possible following ultrasound‐guided transfer cells. This study was undertaken because we had strain Finnish Yorkshire boars with hereditary recessive gene defect rendering all spermatozoa immotile and anatomically abnormal...
This article discusses children as contributors to sustainable ecological development. The aim of the is develop a framework for researching two questions: What are prerequisites become responsible environmentalists? actual and potential influence do have on their family’s consumption? Three theoretical perspectives elaborated in relation relevant empirical research: cosmopolitan actors world citizens, ‘subjects responsibilization’ discourse development influencing family negotiations about...
To screen and characterize toxic, heat-stable substances produced by food borne strains from Bacillus subtilis group.Using the boar sperm motility inhibition assay, six isolates two outbreaks, out of 94 26 foods, were found to produce ethanol-soluble that toxic cells depleting mitochondrial membrane potentials. The identified as B mojavensis. Colon carcinoma (Caco-2) used model contact with human digestive tract. extract B. F 2564/96 depolarized mitochondria in intact Caco-2 similarly cells....
Congenital malformations resulting in late abortions and stillbirths affect the economic wellbeing of producers welfare cattle breeding programs. An extremely high incidence "half-sized" calves normal karyotype uninflated lungs was diagnosed progeny Finnish Ayrshire (Bos taurus) bull - YN51. No other visible anatomical abnormalities were apparent stillborn calves. We herein describe positional identification a 110 kb microdeletion maternally imprinted PEG3 domain that results loss paternal...
The highly prolific breeds of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are globally valuable genetic resources for industry. Genetic, nutritional and other environmental factors affect prolificacy traits in sheep. To improve our knowledge the traits, we conducted mRNA-miRNA integrated profiling ovarian tissues from two pure with large (Finnsheep) vs. small (Texel) litter sizes their F1 crosses, half which were fed a flushing diet. Among samples, 16,402 genes (60.6% known ovine genes) expressed, 79 novel...
A fair distribution of accessibility to key activities is a central concern for distributive justice in transport planning. This implies that disparities and the negative effects associated with lack should be mitigated. However, even though not purely spatial or static, it conventionally treated as if were. Several studies have significantly advanced spatio-temporal representation accessibility. there still focus on how these dynamics affect different groups people differing socio-economic...
Contents The effects of artificial insemination (AI) using sexed sperm on pregnancy rates have seldom been studied in lactating dairy cows commercial farms. We evaluated results after AI 306 cows, which 157 were inseminated with 2 × 10 6 frozen/thawed and 149 15 unsexed sperm. average calving 21.0% 20% for the sexed‐sperm AIs 46% 45% unseparated control‐sperm respectively (p < 0.001). proportion female calves derived from was 82% compared 49% control 0.01). live healthy single births 100%...
Inherited developmental diseases can cause severe animal welfare and economic problems in dairy cattle. The use of a small number bulls for artificial insemination (AI) carries risk that recessive defects rapidly enrich the population. In recent years, an increasing Finnish Ayrshire calves have been identified with signs ptosis, intellectual disability, retarded growth mortality, which constitute inherited disorder classified as PIRM syndrome. We established cohort nine PIRM-affected 38...
Buprenorphine misuse by injecting drug users was assessed in a survey of 350 needle exchangers, either amphetamine (57%) or heroin (42%). 89% and 24% reported using buprenorphine at some time during the previous year. Most illicit acquisition. Among users, 87% intake for withdrawal treatment self-detoxification, 11% euphoria. Euphoria seeking more common among (62%, p < 0.001). Intravenous 43% snorting 29%. Sole sublingual than (46 vs. 20%, 0.05), less patients reporting euphoria (20 46%, 0.05).
The production of peptaibols, toxic secondary metabolites Trichoderma, in the indoor environment is not well-documented. Here, we investigated toxicity peptaibols guttation droplets and biomass Trichoderma strains isolated from problematic buildings.Seven indoor-isolated T. atroviride, trixiae, paraviridescens citrinoviride were cultivated on malt extract agar, gypsum boards paperboards. Their extracts highly cytotoxic resting motile boar sperm cell assays inhibition somatic proliferation...
We compared the serological status of Brucella canis and canine herpesvirus-1 (CHV-1) in Finnish breeding kennels with without reproductive problems. Dogs from problems had significantly higher CHV-1 titres than dogs having no (p < 0.001). In 100% (32/32) positive titres, whereas 65% (22/34) titres. The median titre for was 1 : 160 80. high prevalence this study indicates that prevention disease is difficult reinforces need to minimize caused by CHV-1. All 388 94 negative B.
Male infertility is an increasing problem in all domestic species including man. Localization and identification of genes involved defects causing male provide valuable information specific events sperm development. Correct condensation the head development acrosome are required for fertile sperm. In Finnish Yorkshire pig population a knobbed defect (KAD) has been reported which appears to be genetic origin. previous studies we have shown that large number affected spermatozoa cystic...
Male infertility is an increasing problem in all domestic species including man. Localization and identification of genes involved defects causing male provide valuable information specific events sperm development. Sperm development a complex process, where diploid spermatogonia develop into haploid, highly specialized spermatozoa. Correct expression function various their protein products are required for production fertile sperm. We have identified defect Finnish Yorkshire boars caused by...
Contents With the aim of investigating properties stallion seminal plasma to eventually improve semen‐handling techniques, sperm motility and membrane integrity were analysed in different fractions ejaculates after storage. Semen was collected using a computer‐controlled automated phantom that separates into five successive cups. Samples containing skim milk extender compared with samples stored removal by centrifugation. Fractionated cooled for 24 h dilution (Expt 1) or frozen liquid...
