An immunohistochemical study on the distribution of endocrine cells in the chicken gastrointestinal tract

The distribution and the frequency of occurrence of nine types of gut endocrine cells were revealed using immunohistochemical methods in eight portions from the gastrointestinal tract of the chicken (Gallus gallus var domestica). In the proventriculus, somatostatin- and gastrin-releasing polypeptide (GRP)-immunoreactive cells were commonly found. Serotonin-, pancreatic glucagon-, and enteroglucagon-immunoreactive cells were uncommon. Avian pancreatic polypeptide (APP)-immunoreactive cells were rare. In the gizzard, numerous GRP-, and a small number of somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were observed. The pyloric region was characterized by the presence of abundant gastrin-, somatostatin-, and neurotensin-immunoreactive cells. Numerous serotonin-immunoreactive cells were detected in all portions of the intestine. Moderate numbers of neurotensin-immunoreactive cells were detected in all portions of the intestine except for the cecum. A few gastrin- and somatostatin-immunoreactive cells were detected in the duodenum and jejunum. A small number of pancreatic glucagon-immunoreactive cells were detected in the jejunum and ileum. Enteroglucagon-immunoreactive cells were detected in the small intestine in increasing numbers forwards the ileum. Motilin-immunoreactive cells were rare in the small intestine.     

Selective labeling of sulfhydryls and disulfides on blot transfers using avidin-biotin technology: studies on purified proteins and erythrocyte membranes

Various strategies for the use of 3-(N-maleimido-propionyl) biocytin (MPB) as a general label for distinguishing between protein sulfhydryls and disulfides on blot transfers are presented. In the first approach, endogenous SH groups in proteins were labeled directly with MPB. For disulfide staining, endogenous sulfhydryls were blocked with N-ethylmaleimide, disulfides were then reduced with mercaptoethanol, and the newly formed SH groups were labeled with MPB. In this approach, all treatments were performed in vitro, and, between steps, excess reagent was removed by dialysis. The MPB-labeled proteins were then separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (in the presence of mercaptoethanol), the labeled proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose, and the blotted proteins were detected by avidin-biotin technology. In the second approach, MPB treatment was performed directly on blot transfers. For SH labeling, proteins were subjected to SDS-PAGE in the absence of mercaptoethanol, thus retaining the status of endogenous sulfhydryl and disulfide groups. For S-S labeling, proteins were treated with N-ethylmaleimide in vitro and then subjected to SDS-PAGE in the presence of mercaptoethanol, such that endogenous sulfhydryls were blocked and endogenous disulfides were converted to SH groups. Subsequent treatments and washings were performed on blots. In the third approach, immobilized proteins (i.e., in artificial systems or in natural systems such as membrane preparations or intact cells) were treated essentially as described in the first approach, except that washings were carried out by centrifugation. In vitro treatments were performed before SDS-PAGE (carried out in the presence of mercaptoethanol) and subsequent blot transfer. The relative merits of the three strategies are discussed.     

中国部分猪种SLA-DQB外显子2遗传多样性

运用PCR-SSCP和克隆测序对中国部分猪种的SLA-DQB基因外显子2的多态性分析表明：有功能的DQB基因有68个新等位基因,假基因（SLA-DXB）等位基因有5个。各等位基因的数量分布极其不平衡,而且许多品种都表现出共享等位基因。9个主要等位基因中, C08广泛分布在中国猪种的6大地方类型11个品种及云南和四川野猪中,它为中国猪种特有的共享等位基因,占总数的55.10%。在单一的个体中拥有5条以上序列,说明SLA-DQB基因座在某些品种中拷贝数为3个。SLA-DQB外显子2的等位基因核苷酸和氨基酸多态变异位点分别高达81个和49个,等位基因多样度（H=0.889）以及核苷酸多样度（Pi =0.047）都很高,总体表现为β折叠区的Pi值均高于α螺旋区。综合分析表明华南型、西南型猪H和Pi均较高,高原型的藏猪最低。类群内遗传距离排序与Pi值高低排序一样,可见各地方类型中核苷酸替换的差异正比于核苷酸多样度。类群间遗传距离比较,江海型与华北型间的距离最大,而华中型和高原型间的遗传距离最小。     

Reproductive Structure of the Adult Green Sturgeon, Acipenser medirostris, Population in the Rogue River, Oregon

The primary objective of this study was to determine the reproductive structure of the adult green sturgeon population in the Rogue River. Green sturgeon were captured by gillnet in the lower 11.6–68.4 river kilometers in April to July 2000–2003 and September and October 2002–2003. Gonadal tissue, collected by biopsy, was processed histologically, blood was collected from the caudal vasculature, and fork length (FL) and total length (TL) (±0.5 cm) were measured for each individual. Sex steroids, testosterone (T), 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), and estradiol-17β (E2), were measured by radioimmunoassay. Biological samples were collected from a total of 88 green sturgeon of which 37 females and 41 males were confirmed by histological analysis. Four gravid females, captured in the spring, were visually identified, and oocyte polarization index and ovarian follicle diameter indicated that these females were in spawning condition. Gonadal samples collected from six individuals did not contain gonial cells, hence the sex and stage of maturity in these individuals remains unknown. Of the 20 females captured in the spring, 1 was vitellogenic, 4 were post-vitellogenic, and 15 were post-ovulatory. Twenty-one females were captured in the fall of which 6 were pre-vitellogenic, 7 vitellogenic, and 8 post-ovulatory. Of the 16 males captured in the spring, 2 were pre-meiotic, 8 were ripe or actively spermiating, and 6 were post-spermiation. Twenty-five males were captured in the fall: 11 pre-meiotic males and 14 post-spermiation. The majority of green sturgeon captured in the Rogue River were reproductively active or had recently spawned indicating the importance of this river for the preservation of green sturgeon.     

Eimeria apsheronica in the goat: endogenous development and host cellular response

Most first generation schizonts of Eimeria apsheronica developed in the jejunum; others were distributed throughout the small intestine and occasionally in the caecum. Some were also found in the mesenteric lymph nodes, which were oedematous and haemorrhagic. In the intestine, haemorrhage and congestion were seen before parasites were detected, and continued throughout all later stages. Schizonts occurred in the lamina propria and occasionally in the submucosa, where they sometimes caused a cellular inflammatory response. Schizonts were first seen at 8 days post-infection (DPI); they had poorly defined nuclei and were enclosed in a capsule-like wall. At 16 DPI, many had matured, had a mean size of 125 x 82 microns, and were filled with numerous spindle-shaped merozoites, which were in ranks and loops. At 18 and 20 DPI, when small white lesions (1-3 mm in diameter) were observed in the jejunum and elsewhere in the small intestine, a second generation of schizonts, macrogametes, microgametocytes and maturing oocysts were seen, in the epithelial cells of the small intestine and caecum. Their mean sizes, respectively, were: 26.2 x 18.9, 24.7 x 18.5, 30.2 x 21.7 and 26.6 x 19.3 microns. Macrogametes contained basophilic central and eosinophilic peripheral granules. The sexual stages were associated with a generalized cellular inflammatory response.     

Levels and distribution of zinc,copper, magnesium,and calcium in rats fed different levels of dietary zinc

Effects of altered dietary zinc on levels of zinc, copper, magnesium, and calcium in organ and peripheral tissues were studied. When rats fed a zinc-deficient diet (1.3 μg Zn/g) for 28 d were compared with rats fed a control diet (37.5 μg Zn/g), levels of zinc were slightly lower in plasma, hair, and skin and 50% lower in femur and pancreas, whereas the levels of copper were higher in all tissue except plasma. Magnesium levels were higher than controls in the heart and lower in the spleen, whereas the calcium levels were lower in plasma, lung, spleen, kidney, and skin and strikingly higher in brain, hair, and femur. When rats fed a zinc-supplemented diet (1.0 mg Zn/g) were compared to the same conrols, levels of zinc in these were higher in all organs and peripheral tissues studied, except heart, lung, and liver; copper levels were higher in liver, kidney, and spleen; magnesium levels were significantly higher in the spleen, but were little affected in other tissues, although calcium levels were higher in pancreas, spleen, kidney, and skin and lower in plasma and hair. These data indicate that overall copper organ and peripheral tissue levels are affected inversely, and zinc and calcium levels directly, by zinc nutriture.

Seasonal ultrastructural changes in the pineal gland of the migratory Canada goose

Ultrastructural changes in the pineal gland were studied in relation to migration, breeding and moult. Sizes of pinealocytes and that of their nuclei were greatest in the Spring premigratory and postmigratory, and moult phases. The ratio of nuclear size to cell size was greatest for the breeding phase and lowest for the Fall premigratory and postmigratory phases. The Golgi complex was most prominent during premigratory and breeding phases. Mitochondria which were numerous in all phases except during moult, were markedly enlarged during breeding and Fall premigratory phases. Dense-core vesicles were predominant in Spring postmigratory and moult phases. In glial cells, lipoid inclusions were abundant in Spring premigratory and postmigratory, and breeding phases. Glycogen granules were abundant in Spring postmigratory, breeding and moult phases. Large vacuoles were present in Fall premigratory phase. Lamellar membraneous whorls were often present near luminal spaces during Spring premigratory and postmigratory, and breeding phases. The endothelial cells of pineal capillaries during Spring and Fall premigratory phases, contained numerous vesicles, some of which were freely dispersed in the cytoplasm while others were fused to the cell membrane, suggestive of transendothelial transport of vesicular substances.

Cytology and distribution of secretory cell types in the mouse hypophysis as demonstrated with immunocytochemistry.

Since differential chemical staining has been unsatisfactory for demonstration of specific secretory cell types in the hypophyseal pars distalis of the mouse, the objective of this study was to determine whether the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical procedure might be more effective. Accordingly, representative sections from the hypophyses of 17 female and 15 male adult mice of the Swiss-Webster strain were immunostained, 16 antisera to 5 pituitary hormones or their subunits being utilized. Five secretory cell types were demonstrated. Somatotropes were ovoid to spheroidal and distributed quite generally in the gland except for the "sex zone" where they were scarce. Somatotropes were larger and more numerous in the male than in the female. Mammotropes were polyhedral and also generally distributed in the gland except for the "sex zone" where few were observed. Mammotropes were larger and more numerous in the female than in the male. Corticotropes were small, stellate and few. They were most common near the ventral surface of the gland and formed bilateral centromedial groups in the lateral wings. Thyrotropes were usually large and polyhedral. They were restricted almost solely to the ventral region of the pars distalis. Gonadotropes were polyhedral, and generally distributed, except for aggregation in the cephalomedian "sex zone." Most gonadotropes appeared to contain both luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Thus, all secretory cell types recognized in other species can be demonstrated readily in the mouse hypophysis with immunocytochemistry.     

Two types of virus-like particles in the bean leaf beetle,Cerotoma trifurcata

Two types of virus-like particles were observed in the cytoplasm of hemocytes of the bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata. The polyhedral particles were 37–40 nm in diameter and were usually in a crystalline array. They were often associated with granular and laminated structures. The enveloped, spherical particles were 70–75 nm in diameter and were composed of three parts: an outer envelope, a central electron-dense core, and an electron-lucent space between the envelope and the central core. The envelope was similar in structure to the membranes of the cell organelles. These particles were also associated with granular and filamentous structures which were distinct from those associated with the nonenveloped, smaller, polyhedral particles. The nonenveloped particles were recovered in large amounts from partially purified preparations from beetles that contained the particles in thin sections and from soybean loopers, Pseudoplusia includens, which were injected with partially purified preparations from beetles.

An actin-like component in spermatocytes of a crane fly (Nephrotoma suturalis Loew)

Decorated actin-like filaments were seen in spindles after crane fly spermatocytes were glycerinated and then treated with rabbit skeletal muscle heavy meromyosin (HMM). Both ATP and pyrophosphate inhibited the HMM reaction. In prometaphase, metaphase, and mid-anaphase cells, actin-like filaments were seen near regions where chromosomal spindle fibres are seen in living cells, and were oriented in the pole-to-pole direction. In the interzone of anaphase cells, actin-like filaments were not oriented in a preferential direction when they were not associated with the microtubules attached to the sex chromosomes. No filaments were seen in glycerinated spindles not treated with HMM. We discuss reasons why filaments might not be seen without prior HMM treatment, and we discuss the possible role of the actin-like filaments in the spindles. — Spindle microtubules often were not seen in cells treated with HMM. This depended on the stage of division: in prometaphase no microtubules were seen; in metaphase microtubules were seen, in apparently normal numbers; in mid-anaphase, microtubules between the autosomes and the poles were seen in reduced numbers, those associated with the equatorial sex-chromosomes were seen in apparently normal numbers, while those between the separating autosomal half-bivalents were not seen. Microtubules were not seen in glycerinated spindles not treated with HMM, suggesting that HMM in some way affects microtubule stability. The question of microtubule stability is briefly discussed.     

Conception rates in dairy cows after timed-insemination and simultaneous treatment with gonadotrophin releasing hormone and/or prostaglandin F2 alpha

This study was designed to determine conception rates in dairy cows after timed-insemination and simultaneous treatment with gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) and/or prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2alpha). A total of 2352 cows was randomly assigned to six groups. Cows in Groups 1 to 5 were palpated per rectum to determine the presence of a corpus luteum (CL) on the ovary, and blood samples were obtained for the determination of plasma progesterone (P4) concentrations. Cows with a CL and P4 concentrations >1 ng/ml were treated (Day 0) with PGF2alpha (25 mg, i.m.) and were observed for estrus. Cows in estrus prior to 72 hours after treatment (Group 5, n = 106) were bred, but were not treated. Cows not observed in estrus by 72 hours were divided into four remaining groups, were bred between 72 and 80 hours and were assigned as follows: Cows in Group 1 (n = 203) were not treated; Cows in Group 2 (n = 200) were treated with GnRH (100 ug, i.m.); Cows in Group 3 (n = 201) were treated with PGF2alpha (25 mg, i.m.); and cows in Group 4 (n = 202) were treated with both GnRH and PGF2alpha. Cows in Group 6 (n = 1440) were not treated with PGF2alpha on Day 0 and were estrual cows that were bred on days when cows in Groups 1 to 5 were time-inseminated. The percentage of cows in all groups pregnant at 45 to 50 days after one insemination was compared using analysis of variance (P<0.05). The conception rate of cows in Group 2 was significantly higher than that of cows in Groups 1 to 4. There was a significant group-by-season interaction. Cows treated with GnRH during the spring had a higher conception rate than at other times of the year. Conception rates of cows in Groups 1 to 4 that were inseminated during the summer were low and not significantly different from each other. Conception rates of cows in Groups 5 and 6 inseminated during the summer were not significantly different from each other, but were significantly higher than that of cows in Groups 1 to 4 that were inseminated during the summer.     

Microbial communities in long-term, water-flooded petroleum reservoirs with different in situ temperatures in the Huabei Oilfield, China

The distribution of microbial communities in the Menggulin (MGL) and Ba19 blocks in the Huabei Oilfield, China, were studied based on 16S rRNA gene analysis. The dominant microbes showed obvious block-specific characteristics, and the two blocks had substantially different bacterial and archaeal communities. In the moderate-temperature MGL block, the bacteria were mainly Epsilonproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria, and the archaea were methanogens belonging to Methanolinea, Methanothermobacter, Methanosaeta, and Methanocella. However, in the high-temperature Ba19 block, the predominant bacteria were Gammaproteobacteria, and the predominant archaea were Methanothermobacter and Methanosaeta. In spite of shared taxa in the blocks, differences among wells in the same block were obvious, especially for bacterial communities in the MGL block. Compared to the bacterial communities, the archaeal communities were much more conserved within blocks and were not affected by the variation in the bacterial communities.
