摘要 目的：探讨血清尿素氮（BUN）、碱性磷酸酶（AKP）与儿童营养不良的相关性。方法：选择2017年10月至2022年10月我院接诊的108例儿童,根据是否存在营养不良将受试儿分为营养不良组（38例）和营养良好组（70例）。检测血清BUN、AKP水平,分析BUN、AKP与受试儿身体组分的相关性。多因素Logistic回归分析影响儿童营养不良的因素,受试者工作特征曲线（ROC）分析BUN、AKP诊断儿童营养不良的价值。结果：营养不良组血清BUN、AKP水平,体脂百分含量（fat percentage,F%）、总体脂肪（TBF）、瘦体重（LBM）低于营养良好组（P＜0.05）。儿童血清BUN、AKP水平与F%、TBF、LBM呈正相关（P＜0.05）。消化不良是儿童营养不良的危险因素（P＜0.05）,出生体质量、BUN、AKP、LBM是儿童营养不良的保护因素（P＜0.05）。联合BUN和AKP诊断儿童营养不良的曲线下面积为0.879,高于单独BUN和AKP诊断（P＜0.05）。结论：营养不良儿童血清BUN、AKP水平降低,且与身体组分改变和营养不良风险增加有关,联合检测血清BUN和AKP水平有助于评估儿童营养不良风险。     

The Use of Ultrasonography to Study Teratogenicity in Ruminants: Evaluation of Ipomoea carnea in Goats

Background: Ipomoea carnea (I. carnea) is a poisonous plant found in Brazil and other tropical countries that often poison livestock. The plant contains the alkaloids calystegines and mainly swainsonine, which inhibit cellular enzymes and cause systematic cell death. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perinatal effects of I. carnea in goats. Methods: Forty‐seven pregnant goats were randomly allocated into 5 treatment groups and given the following doses (g/kg BW) of I. carnea: 0 (IC0), 1.0 (IC1), 3.0 (IC3), 5.0 (IC5) and 7.5 (IC7). The treatment animals were given fresh I. carnea from day 27 of gestation to parturition. Weight gains and serum biochemistry were evaluated. Fetuses were evaluated using ultrasonographic measurements. Results: Goats from the IC7 group showed clinical signs of poisoning. Ultrasound examination revealed that I. carnea feeding in all treatment groups reduced fetal movement compared to the controls. There was an increase in the total number of birth defects (retrognathia and arthrogyposis) in the IC7 and IC5 groups compared to the controls. Conclusion: The results show that I. carnea has teratogenic potential in goats. In addition, ultrasounds were useful in evaluating fetotoxicity and teratogenicity.

Prevalence of coccidia and gastrointestinal nematode infections in cross bred goats in the dry areas of Sri Lanka

The prevalence and intensity of oocysts of coccidia, particularly Eimeria species, and eggs of gastrointestinal nematodes in kids (2–4 months), young goats (5–12 months) and adult goats (>1 year) were determined in five large herds managed extensively in five villages in the dry zone. Of the representative samples examined, oocysts were found in 88% of kids, 91% of young goats and 83% of adults. Seven species of Eimeria were identified in faecal samples by salt flotation. Eimeria ninakohlyakimovae (31%), E. alijevi (29%) and E. arloingi (21%) were the most common species in all age categories. Other species encountered were E. christenseni (7%), E. jolchijevi (6%), E. hirchi (3%) and E. aspheronica (1%). Gastrointestinal nematode eggs were found in 89% of the kids, 94% of the young goats and 84% of the adult goats. Identification of gastrointestinal nematodes revealed Haemonchus contortus (90%) followed by Oesophogostomum spp. (8.5%) and Trichostrongylus spp. (1%) in all three age categories examined. Both Eimeria and gastrointestinal nematodes were found in 77% of the kids, 86% of the young goats and 71% of adult goats. The mean oocyst counts per gram of faeces in kids, young goats and adult goats were 9728, 1946, and 2667, respectively. The oocyst counts were not different significantly between age groups (P>0.05). The mean egg counts per gram of faeces in kids, young goats and adult goats were 1217, 1641 and 1092, respectively. The egg counts in kids were significantly lower than that in young goats (P<0.05). The intensity of Eimeria and gastrointestinal nematode infections between herds were significantly different (P<0.01).

Immune responsiveness to Ambrosia artemishfolia (short ragweed) pollen allergen Amb a VI (Ra6) is associated with HLA-DR5 in allergic humans

The relationship between HLA type and specific immune responsiveness toward ultrapure Ambrosia artemisiifolia (short ragweed) pollen allergen Amb a VI (Ra6) was explored in a genetic-epidemiologic study of groups of 116 and 81 Caucasoid subjects who were skin-test \ positive (ST^–) toward common environmental allergens. Specific immune responsiveness to Amb a VI was assessed by measuring serum IgE and IgG antibodies (Abs) by double Ab radioimmunoassay in both ST^– groups. Significant associations were found between IgE Ab responsiveness to Amb a VI and the possession of HLA-DR5; P values for the two groups were, respectively, 7 × 10^–7 and 1 × 10^–3 by nonparametric analyses, and 4 × 10^–11 and 5 × 10^–8 by parametric analyses. The levels of significance for the associations between HLA-DR5 and IgG Ab responsiveness were highly dependent on the extent of ragweed immunotherapy (Rx) within the patient group; by parametric statistics, the associations were 10^–11 for the group that had received relatively little Rx and 2 × 10^–3 for the group that had received more intensive Rx. These results provide further striking evidence for the existence of specific HLA-linked human Ir genes involved in responsiveness toward inhaled allergens and illustrate the usefulness of the allergy model in studies of the genetic basis of human immune responsiveness. Extension of these studies to investigation of structure-function relationships involved in antigen recognition by Ia molecules and the T-cell receptor will lead to a better understanding of human susceptibility toward immunologic diseases.Abbreviations used in this paper Ab antibody - Amb a VI Amb a V, new IUIS nomenclature for Ambrosia artemisiifolia pollen allergens nos. 6 and 5 (short ragweed Ra6 and Ra5) (Marsh et al. 1986b) - Lol p II, III new IUIS nomenclature for Lolium perenne pollen allergens II and III (perennial rye grass, Rye II and Rye III) (Marsh et al. 1986b) - BBS borate-buffered physiologic saline - BSA bovine serum albumin - DARIA double-antibody radioimunoassay - Ia immune-associated - PAGE polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis - RIST radioimmunosorbent test - Rx immunotherapy - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate - ST skin test     

Specific combinations of human serum albumin introns direct high level expression of albumin in transfected COS cells and in the milk of transgenic mice

A new series of expression vectors, each comprised of the -lactoglobulin (BLG) promoter driving one of a variety of human serum albumin (HSA) minigenes or the entire gene, were evaluated for their ability to direct expression of HSAin vitro in COS tissue culture cells and into the milk of transgenic mice. Vectors directed a hierarchy of expression levelsin vitro, dependent upon the specific complement of HSA introns included. HSA introns acted in a synergistic manner. In addition, minigenes comprised of specific subsets of introns were more efficacious than the entire HSA gene with all of its introns. Transgenic mice expressed as much as 10 mg ml^–1 of HSA in their milk. Vectors comprised of specific intron subsets directed levels at 1 mg ml^–1 or greater in the milk of 20% of generated transgenics. A statistical correlation between the expression level trendin vitro with the trend of expressionin vivo (% which express) at detectable levels (p=0.0015) and at the level of greater than 0.1 mg ml^–1 (p=0.0156) was demonstrated. A weak correlation existed (p=0.0526) atin vivo levels of 1 mg ml^–1 or greater. These new vectors are expected to direct the production of high levels of HSA in the milk of a large percentage of generated transgenic dairy animals.     

Nutritive value and voluntary feed intake by goats of three browse fodder species in the Sahelian zone of West Africa

Browsing ruminants have access to different biomass, depending on how high they can reach. Foliage consisting of leaves and green pods from Acacia senegal, Pterocarpus lucens and Guiera senegalensis, was collected according to height above ground accessible to either sheep (0.90 m), goats (1.65 m) or cattle (1.50 m). There was a significant variation in the chemical composition of the biomass between species. The crude protein (CP) content was 114, 157 and 217 g/kg dry matter (DM) and the neutral detergent fiber (aNDF) content 604, 534 and 412 g/kg DM for G. senegalensis, P. lucens and A. senegal, respectively. There was no significant variation in chemical composition according to the height accessible by cattle, sheep or goats. The voluntary intake was studied using eight goats per diet. The six diets consisted of the three browse leaves and two pods (A. senegal and P. lucens) and a control. The leaves were fed combined with hay of Schoenefeldia gracilis (maximum 30%) and the control was pure hay. Apparent digestibilities of the same diets, with the exception of G. senegalensis, were measured using five goats per diet. All browse fodders used in the feeding and digestibility trials were high in CP (105–170 g/kg DM) and lignin (164–234 g/kg DM except A. senegal leaves) and low in fiber (322–590 g/kg DM of NDF) compared to the hay (31 g/kg DM of CP and 755 g/kg DM of NDF). The highest intake was of the P. lucens diet (864 g) and the lowest of the G. senegalensis diet (397 g). The intake of pods from A. senegal was higher (1033 g) than from P. lucens pods (691 g). The apparent digestibility of OM and CP in the browse leaves was 0.63 and 0.57 and 0.63 and 0.64 for A. senegal and P. lucens, respectively, higher than for the hay, which showed higher digestibility of NDF. A. senegal pods had higher digestibility for all nutrients than P. lucens pods. Based on the high CP content and the intake and digestibility characteristics, P. lucens leaves and A. senegal leaves and pods can be recommended as protein supplements to low quality diets.

The effect of Euglena viridis on immune response of rohu, Labeo rohita (Ham.)

The study evaluated the effect of dietary doses of Euglena viridis on the immune response and disease resistance of Labeo rohita fingerlings against infection with the bacterial pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila. L. rohita fingerlings were fed with diet containing 0 (Control), 0.1 g, 0.5 g, 1.0 g Euglena powder kg⁻¹ dry diet for 90 days. Biochemical (serum total protein, albumin, globulin, albumin:globulin ratio), haematological (WBC, RBC, haemoglobin content) and immunological (superoxide anion production, lysozyme, serum bactericidal activity) parameters of fish were examined after 30, 60 and 90 days of feeding. Fish were challenged with A. hydrophila 90 days post-feeding and mortalities were recorded over 10 days post-infection. The results demonstrate that fish fed with Euglena showed increased levels of superoxide anion production, lysozyme, serum bactericidal activity, serum protein and albumin (P < 0.05) compared with the control group. Following challenge with A. hydrophila less survivability was observed in the control group (56.65%) than the group fed the experimental diets. The group fed 0.5 g Euglena kg⁻¹ dry diet showed the highest percentage survival (75%). These results indicate that Euglena stimulates the immunity and makes L. rohita more resistant to A. hydrophila infection.

Human serum albumin chromatography by Cibacron Blue F3GA-derived microporous polyamide hollow-fiber affinity membranes

An affinity dye ligand, Cibacron Blue F3GA was covalently attached onto commercially available microporous polyamide hollow-fibre membranes for human serum albumin (HSA) adsorption from both aqueous solutions and human plasma. Different amounts of Cibacron Blue F3GA were incorporated on the polyamide hollow-fibres by changing the dye attachment conditions, i.e. initial dye concentration, addition of sodium carbonate and sodium chloride. The maximum amount of Cibacron Blue F3GA attachment was obtained at 42.5 μmol g⁻¹ when the hollow-fibres were treated with 3 M HCl for 30 min before performing the dye attachment. HSA adsorption onto unmodified and Cibacron Blue F3GA-derived polyamide hollow-fibre membranes was investigated batchwise. The non-specific adsorption of HSA was very low (6.0 mg g⁻¹ hollow-fibre). Cibacron Blue F3GA attachment onto the hollow-fibres significantly increased the HSA adsorption (147 mg g⁻¹ hollow-fibre). The maximum HSA adsorption was observed at pH 5.0. Higher HSA adsorption was observed from human plasma (230 mg HSA g⁻¹ hollow-fibre). Desorption of HSA from Cibacron Blue F3GA derived hollow-fibres was obtained using 0.1 M Tris–HCl buffer containing 0.5 M NaSCN or 1.0 M NaCl. High desorption ratios (up to 98% of the adsorbed HSA) were observed. It was possible to reuse Cibacron Blue F3GA derived polyamide hollow-fibre without significant decreases in the adsorption capacities.     

Immunosuppression in experimental cryptococcosis in rats

Using a rat model, we have previously demonstrated that infection with Cryptococcus neoformans can trigger the production of a series of suppressor cells that specifically inhibit the cell-mediated immune response to a non-related antigen, human serum albumin (HSA), that has been injected 7 days after the infection. We previously determined that the cryptococcal infection induces afferent suppressor or suppressor induction cells (Ts₁) to HSA. The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the suppressor cells involved in the efferent phase of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to HSA in rats infected with C. neoformans and immunized with the non-related antigen and determine the role that the Ts₁ cell plays in the induction of that cell. For this purpose, the spleen mononuclear (SpM) cells containing the Ts₁ or SpM cells from immunized non-infected rats (used as donor controls) were transferred to two groups of syngeneic naive recipients (first recipients). Later, the SpM cells from both groups of animals were transferred to rats immunized with HSA (second recipients). The efferent limb of the DTH response to HSA was suppressed in the recipients that received SpM cells from donors injected with Ts₁ cells. Additional HSA antigen was not required for induction of these efferent suppressor cells. Furthermore, we here show that these cells are resistant to treatment with cyclophosphamide (Cy), and that they can activate another suppressor population. The latter are Cy sensitive and are present in the immune recipient.     

Purification and partial characterization of human neutrophil elastase inhibitors from the marine snail Cenchritis muricatus (Mollusca)

Human neutrophil elastase inhibition was detected in a crude extract of the marine snail Cenchritis muricatus (Gastropoda, Mollusca). This inhibitory activity remained after heating this extract at 60 °C for 30 min. From this extract, three human neutrophil elastase inhibitors (designated CmPI–I, CmPI–II and CmPI–III) were purified by affinity and reversed-phase chromatographies. Homogeneity of CmPI–I and CmPI–II was confirmed, while CmPI–III showed a single peak in reversed-phase chromatography, but heterogeneity in SDS-PAGE with preliminary molecular masses in the range of 18.4 to 22.0 kDa. In contrast, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry of CmPI–I and CmPI–II showed that these inhibitors are molecules of low molecular mass, 5576 and 5469 Da, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequences of CmPI–I (6 amino acids) and CmPI–II (20 amino acids) were determined. Homology to Kazal-type protease inhibitors was preliminarily detected for CmPI–II. Both inhibitors, CmPI–I and CmPI–II are able to inhibit human neutrophil elastase strongly, with equilibrium dissociation constant (K_i) values of 54.2 and 1.6 nM, respectively. In addition, trypsin and pancreatic elastase were also inhibited, but not plasma kallikrein or thrombin. CmPI–I and CmPI–II are the first human neutrophil elastase inhibitors described in a mollusk.     

Reclassification of Pichia membranifaciens sensu Kurtzman

Forty strains which were stocked as Pichia membranifaciens sensu Kurtzman and 9 strains stocked as Candida valida, anamorphs of P. membranifaciens, in the Institute for Fermentation, Osaka (IFO) were reclassified based on the data of base composition of nuclear DNA, DNA/DNA hybridization, coenzyme Q system, electrophoretic karyotype, and base sequence of 18S rDNA. P. membranifaciens complex was assigned into 3 groups: (I) P. membranifaciens group, including 25 strains with high DNA homologies to the type strain of P. membranifaciens (72–98%); (II) P. manshurica group, including 18 strains with high DNA homology of 79–95% to the type strain of P. manshurica; and a group including the remaining 6 strains, which had low DNA homology to the above two species. GC content was 42.9–45.3 mol% for the P. membranifaciens group, 40.0–42.0 mol% for the P. manshurica group, and 27.2–44.7 mol% for the remaining group. All three groups had ubiquinone Co Q-7. Of the 6 anomalous strains, IFO 0162 was identified as Pichia deserticola, and IFO 0839 and IFO 0840 were identified as Issatchenkia occidentalis; but IFO 0842, IFO 0843, and IFO 1788 were thought to be unknown strains.     

<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">Phellinus linteus</Emphasis> grown on germinated brown rice suppresses IgE production by the modulation of Th1/Th2 balance in murine mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes

We compared the immunomodulating effects of Phellinus linteus (PL), germinated brown rice (BR) and P.␣linteus grown on germinated brown rice (PB) on IgE production in murine mesenteric lymph node (MLN) lymphocytes. All extracts decreased IgE concentrations by 43–65% compared to control mice in both serum and MLN lymphocytes. In addition, PL and PB increased the proportion of CD4⁺ T cells by␣9% and 12% in MLN lymphocytes. IFN-γ concentration, Th1 cytokine, was significantly increased by 44–67%, whereas IL-4 and IL-10 concentrations, Th2 cytokine, significantly decreased by 30–60% in the three treated groups compared to control group. These results suggest that PB suppresses IgE production through the modulation of Th1/Th2 balance to down-regulate Th2 response in MLN lymphocytes, even though a synergistic effect of PB was not found.     

Decomposition of N-nitrosamines, and concomitant release of nitric oxide by Fenton reagent under physiological conditions

N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in phosphate buffer was rapidly decomposed by Fenton reagent composed of H₂O₂, and Fe(II) ion. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies using 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) showed that characteristic four line 1:2:2:1 ESR signals due to the DMPO-OH adduct formed on treatment of DMPO with Fenton reagent disappeared in the presence of NDMA, and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), suggesting the interaction of the N-nitrosamines with Fenton reagent. Treatment of the N-nitrosamines with Fenton reagent generated nitric oxide (NO) as estimated by ESR technique using cysteine–Fe(II), and N-methyl- -glucaminedithiocarbamate (MGD)–Fe(II) complexes. Characteristic 3, and single line signals due to 2 cysteine–Fe(II)–NO, and 2 cysteine–Fe(II)–2 NO complexes, respectively, and three line signals due to MGD–Fe(II)–NO were observed. Considerable amount of NO were liberated as determined by NO₂⁻, the final oxidation product of NO formed by reaction with dissolved oxygen in the aqueous medium. Spontaneous release of a small amount of NO from the N-nitrosamines was observed only on incubation in neutral buffers. Above results indicate that the N-nitrosamines were decomposed accompanying concomitant release of NO on contact with reactive oxygen species.     

Kinetic analyses of the OJIP chlorophyll fluorescence rise in thylakoid membranes

N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) was previously used to study the kinetics of the OJIP chlorophyll fluorescence rise. The present study is an attempt to elucidate the origin of TMPD-induced delay and quenching of the I–P step of fluorescence rise. For this purpose, we analyzed the kinetics of OJIP rise in thylakoid membranes in which electron transport was modified using ascorbate, methyl viologen (MV), and 2,5-dibromo-3-methyl-6-isopropyl-p-benzoquinone (DBMIB). In the absence of TMPD, the OJIP kinetics of fluorescence induction (FI) was not altered by ascorbate. However, ascorbate eliminated the I–P rise delay caused by high concentrations of TMPD. On the other hand, neither ascorbate nor DBMIB, which blocks the electron release from Photosystem II (PS II) at the cytochrome b₆/f complex, could prevent the quenching of I–P rise by TMPD. In control thylakoids, MV suppressed the I–P rise of FI by about 60. This latter effect was completely removed if the electron donation to MV was blocked by DBMIB unless TMPD was present. When TMPD intercepted the linear electron flow from PS II, re-oxidation of TMPD by photosystem I (PS I) and reduction of MV fully abolished the I–P rise. The above is in agreement with the fact that TMPD can act as an electron acceptor for PS II. With MV, the active light-driven uptake of O₂ during re-oxidation of TMPD by PS I contributes towards an early decline in the I–P step of the OJIP fluorescence rise.
