Between 1971 and 1975, Fascioloides magna was found in 46 of 67 (69%) feral swine (Sus scrofa) in southern Texas. Flukes were recovered from swine in areas where F. magna commonly has been recovered from white-tailed deer and cattle. One to 12 flukes were recovered from each infected animal. Their presence was indicated by black hematin pigment on the liver and various other internal organs. Eggs were not detected in the gallbladder or feces of infected animals although mature flukes and eggs were recovered in the livers suggesting that, like cattle, feral swine can be infected but are aberrant hosts for the parasite and do not disseminate eggs. 相似文献

Embryo implantation, endometrial stromal cell decidualization and formation of a functional placenta are critical processes in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. Interleukin (IL)-11 signalling is essential for adequate decidualization in the mouse uterus and IL-11 promotes decidualization in the human. IL-11 action is mediated via binding to the specific IL-11 receptor α (IL-11Rα). The present study examined immunoreactive IL-11 and IL-11Rα in cycling rhesus monkey endometrium, at implantation sites in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys and in human first trimester decidua and defined distinct spatial and temporal patterns. In cycling rhesus monkey endometrium, IL-11 and IL-11Rα increased in both basalis and functionalis regions during the secretory compared with the proliferative phase, with changing cellular locations in luminal and glandular epithelium and stroma. The patterns were similar overall to those previously described in human endometrium. Differences were seen in immunostaining during implantation in cynomologus and rhesus monkey. In the cynomolgus, very little staining for IL-11 or IL-11Rα was seen in syncytio- and cyto-trophoblast cells in the villi between days 12 and 150 of pregnancy although there was moderate staining in cytotrophoblast in the shell between days 12 and 17 and in subpopulations of cytotrophoblast cells invading the arteries at day 17. By contrast in the rhesus monkey between days 24 and 35 of pregnancy and in human first trimester placenta, cyto- and syncytio-trophoblast in the villi but not cytotrophoblast in the shell were positively stained. The most intense staining for both IL-11 and IL-11Rα was present within the decidua in the maternal component of implantation sites in all three primates but moderate staining was also present in maternal vascular smooth muscle and glands perivascular cells and epithelial plaques. These results are consistent with a role for IL-11 both during decidualization and placentation in primates. 相似文献

The fascinating progress of molecular biology in the last decades has made possible the early identification of persons at risk of developing malignant neoplasms, such as thyroid, colon, and breast cancer. This has changed conventional medical practice and has raised a number of ethical questions. Despite the fact that there has been substantial development throughout the Western countries in legislation dealing with medical information, there is an acute need for further exploration and assessment of the moral and social dimensions of medical practices to achieve more precise and uniform regulations. These topics were discussed in a multidisciplinary European Conference entitled "Molecular Screening of Individuals at High Risk of Developing Cancer: Medical, Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues," which took place in March, 1999, in Athens, Greece. 相似文献

Introduction
To investigate whether accelerated hand bone mineral density (BMD) loss is associated with progressive joint damage in hands and feet in the first year of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether it is an independent predictor of subsequent progressive total joint damage after 4 years.Methods
In 256 recent-onset RA patients, baseline and 1-year hand BMD was measured in metacarpals 2-4 by digital X-ray radiogrammetry. Joint damage in hands and feet were scored in random order according to the Sharp-van der Heijde method at baseline and yearly up to 4 years.Results
68% of the patients had accelerated hand BMD loss (>-0.003 g/cm2) in the first year of RA. Hand BMD loss was associated with progressive joint damage after 1 year both in hands and feet with odds ratios (OR) (95% confidence intervals [CI]) of 5.3 (1.3-20.9) and 3.1 (1.0-9.7). In univariate analysis, hand BMD loss in the first year was a predictor of subsequent progressive total joint damage after 4 years with an OR (95% CI) of 3.1 (1.3-7.6). Multivariate analysis showed that only progressive joint damage in the first year and anti-citrullinated protein antibody positivity were independent predictors of long-term progressive joint damage.Conclusions
In the first year of RA, accelerated hand BMD loss is associated with progressive joint damage in both hands and feet. Hand BMD loss in the first year of recent-onset RA predicts subsequent progressive total joint damage, however not independent of progressive joint damage in the first year. 相似文献6.

In the Americas, areas with a high risk of malaria transmission are mainly located in
the Amazon Forest, which extends across nine countries. One keystone step to
understanding the Plasmodium life cycle in Anopheles species from the Amazon Region
is to obtain experimentally infected mosquito vectors. Several attempts to colonise
Ano- pheles species have been conducted, but with only short-lived success or no
success at all. In this review, we review the literature on malaria transmission from
the perspective of its Amazon vectors. Currently, it is possible to develop
experimental Plasmodium vivax infection of the colonised and field-captured vectors
in laboratories located close to Amazonian endemic areas. We are also reviewing
studies related to the immune response to P. vivax infection of Anopheles aquasalis,
a coastal mosquito species. Finally, we discuss the importance of the modulation of
Plasmodium infection by the vector microbiota and also consider the anopheline
genomes. The establishment of experimental mosquito infections with Plasmodium
falciparum, Plasmodium yoelii and Plasmodium berghei parasites that could provide
interesting models for studying malaria in the Amazonian scenario is important.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of the parasites
in New World vectors is crucial in order to better determine the interaction process
and vectorial competence. 相似文献

Studies evaluated the effects of hexanic extracts from the fruits and flowers
ofClusia fluminensis and the main component of the flower
extract, a purified benzophenone (clusianone), against Aedes
aegypti. The treatment of larvae with the crude fruit or flower extracts
from C. fluminensis did not affect the survival ofAe.
aegypti (50 mg/L), however, the flower extracts significantly delayed
development of Ae. aegypti. In contrast, the clusianone (50 mg/L) isolate from the
flower extract, representing 54.85% of this sample composition, showed a highly
significant inhibition of survival, killing 93.3% of the larvae and completely
blocking development of Ae. aegypti. The results showed, for the first time, high
activity of clusianone against Ae. aegypti that both killed and inhibited mosquito
development. Therefore, clusianone has potential for development as a biopesticide
for controlling insect vectors of tropical diseases. Future work will elucidate the
mode of action of clusianone isolated from C. fluminensis. 相似文献

The association of TP53 codon 72 polymorphism with cancer susceptibility remains uncertain and varies with ethnicity. Northeast India represents a geographically, culturally, and ethnically isolated population. The area reports high rate of tobacco usage in a variety of ways of consumption, compared with the rest of Indian population. A total of 411 cancer patients (161 lung, 134 gastric, and 116 oral) and 282 normal controls from the ethnic population were analyzed for p53 codon 72 polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. No significant difference in genotypic distribution of p53 between cases and controls was observed. Results suggested betel quid chewing as a major risk factor for all the three cancers (odds ratio [OR]=3.54, confidence interval [CI]=2.01-6.25, p<0.001; OR=1.74, CI=1.04-2.92, p=0.03; and OR=1.85, CI=1.02-3.33, p=0.04 for lung, gastric, and oral cancers, respectively). Tobacco smoking was associated with risk of lung and oral cancers (OR=1.88, CI=1.11-3.19, p=0.01 and OR=1.68, CI=1.00-2.81, p=0.04). Interactions between p53 genotypes and risk factors were analyzed to look for gene-environment interactions. Interaction of smoking and p53 genotype was significant only for oral cancer. Interactions of betel quid with p53 genotypes in lung cancer showed significant increase for all the three genotypes, indicating a major role of betel quid (OR=5.90, CI=1.67-20.81, p=0.006; OR=5.44, CI=1.67-17.75, p=0.005; and OR=5.84, CI=1.70-19.97, p=0.005 for Arg/Arg, Arg/Pro, and Pro/Pro, respectively). In conclusion, high incidence of these cancers in northeast India might be an outcome of risk habits; further, tissue- and carcinogen-specific risk modification by p53 gene is probable. 相似文献

Phenylketonuric patients are on a special diet that lacks certain essential fatty acids. This study evaluates the essential fatty acid status of a group of phenylketonuric patients in the Netherlands undergoing dietary treatment. To this end, the essential fatty acid status of nine phenylketonuria patients was studied. On the basis of age and gender, two control subjects were selected for each patient. The essential fatty acid composition of duplicate food portions and the essential fatty acid status of plasma and erythrocytes were analyzed. Phenylketonuria subjects had a different essential fatty acid profile from their peers, especially concerning the n-3 fatty acids. N-6 and n-3 fatty long-chain polyenes were hardly consumed by phenylketonuria subjects, in contrast to the control subjects. Linoleic acid, on the other hand, was consumed in significantly higher amounts by phenylketonuria subjects and made up about 40% of their daily fat consumption. The essential fatty acid consumption pattern of the phenylketonuria subjects is mirrored by the essential fatty acid concentrations in blood. The essential fatty acid status of the phenylketonuric diet should be improved in order to prevent deficiency in n-3 fatty acids. 相似文献
