SUMMARY Ortho- and parainfluenza viruses isolated from the cloacas of migrating feral ducks shot on Mississippi flyway included three strains influenza A virus (Hav6 Nav1, Hav6 Nl, Hav7 Neq2) as well Newcastle disease virus. One virus, A/duck/Memphis/546/74, possessed Hav3 haemagglutinin, but neuraminidase was not inhibited by any known reference antisera. The this related to neuraminidases A/duck/GDR/72 (H2 N?), A/turkey/Ontario/7732/66 (Hav 5 A/duck/Ukraine/1/60 (Hav3 N?)...
To examine the expressions of ABCG2 and p63 in canine corneal epithelia to evaluate their significance regeneration.Canine limbal epithelial cells were obtained from five healthy beagle dogs. We analyzed morphological properties cultivated cells. compared limbus central cornea by immunohistochemistry real-time quantitative PCR. expression these markers immunocytochemistry PCR.The smaller proliferated more rapidly than primary cultures. The failed be subcultured, whereas could subcultured...
We developed a new water purification system using continuous superconducting-magnet filtration that removes phytoplankton. The consists of twin-type magnets with helium refrigerator: reciprocating magnetic main filter, and rotating sub-filter. This phytoplankton from lake by separating coagulated flocks the filters. filters can be continuously cleaned regenerated under low fields while are being separated high fields. removed more than 93% at flow rates 400 m/sup 3//day.
Aeromonas are widely distributed in the aquatic environment, and considered to be emerging organisms that can produce a series of virulence factors. The present study was carried out sanitary sewage stabilization pond treatment system, located Lins, State São Paulo, Brazil. Most probable number applied for estimation genus Aeromonas. Colony isolation on blood agar ampicillin confirmed by biochemical characterization. species were isolated 72.4% influent samples, 55.2 48.3% effluent from...
Abstract Objective The current study compared canine corneal epithelial cell sheets cultivated from limbal stem cells on amniotic membrane, atelocollagen gel, and temperature‐responsive culture dish. Procedures We collected the intact eyes of beagles denuded membranes, labware, collagen gel with 3T3 feeder cells. Immunofluorescence staining for Ki‐67 was used to analyze capacity proliferation in sheets. also performed epithelium‐specific marker cytokeratin 3 putative markers ABCG 2 p63....
The immunologic relations among six strains [A/Swine/15/31, AO/PR/8/34, AlIFM/1I47, A2/Japan/305/57, A2/Kumamoto/2/65, A2/Aichi/2/68 (Hong Kong), and B/Lee/40] of influenza virus that infect man were studied. results indicate these viruses can be divided into two groups, the early-appearing, linked group consisting A/Swine/15/31, late-appearing, includes all A2 Hong Kong strains. phenomenon known as “doctrine original antigenic sin” existed within each but not between groups.
Abstract There is scientific evidence to suggest that the medicinal mushroom Agaricus blazei Murrill (AbM) has immunomodulatory effects on cytokine synthesis, both in vitro and vivo. This study was first randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial designed investigate these purported actions elderly women. The objective of this ascertain AbM intake serum levels interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interferon‐gamma (IFN‐γ) tumour necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) community‐living seniors. sample...
This study investigated the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for staging iris pigmented lesions in cats. Eighteen cats that underwent OCT examination unilateral lesion were included. The either suspected melanosis due to clinical features (n = 8) or had been definitively diagnosed through histopathology with 3), early feline diffuse melanoma (FDIM) 4), mid-stage advanced FDIM 3). From images, mean thickness (MIT) was measured, and ratio normal (PN) calculated. images depicted...
SQ-18,506, furazolidone, and nitrofurazone are metabolized by at least two enzyme systems in the microsomal soluble fractions of rat liver. Under anaerobic conditions, reduction liver microsomes is mediated an NADPH-dependent, carbon monoxide insensitive enzyme, presumably NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. Parallel increases rates nitrofuran compounds cytochrome were noted during solubilization partial purification In fraction, xanthine oxidase was able to reduce these compounds. Moreover, this...
The ceiling culture method has been used to isolate mature adipocytes from adipose tissue that can be dedifferentiated into fibroblastic cells, also known as fat (DFAT) cells self-renew and are multipotent, with much higher homogeneity colony-forming efficiency than those of tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. We cultured canine bone marrow using this technique, the expectation obtaining DFAT However, contrary our expectations, continuous monitoring cultures by time-lapse microscopy...
Undoped and boron-doped polycrystalline silicon films were prepared on a fused quartz at 500–840 °C by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) plasma-enhanced (PECVD) from SiH4+B2H6+H2 mixture, using the same fabrication system. The effects of plasma (rf power) supply structural electrical properties investigated. Below 700 °C, all show 〈110〉 preferential orientation (P.O.), increasing with an increase in rf power. Particularly between 650 extremely stronger P.O. is found power...
Studies have shown that low serum 25(OH)D levels in young women may affect not only their own health but also the of next generation through pregnancy and childbirth. The aim this study is to assess Japanese determine factors influencing changes levels. Herein, 83 healthy were included. Early morning fasting blood samples, habitual food intake survey, eating habits anthropometric measurements used analyze relationship between nutrient intake, groups, dietary habits, body composition....
