A review of spontaneous neoplasia in baboons (Papio spp.)

The baboon has become an increasingly important animal model and accurate information on baboon neoplasia is frequently required for biomedical research. To satisfy this demand, a complete literature search was carried out. Two hundred and four spontaneous neoplasms were found in published literature: 53 cases were male (26%), 76 were female (37%); sex was not reported in 75 cases (37%). Ages ranged from 3 months to 31 years (mean 14.1 years) in the 93 cases that reported them. Spontaneous neoplasms have been documented in Papio cynocephalus and Papio hamadryas as well as in most subspecies and hybrid combinations. The organ systems affected in descending order of number of neoplasms were hematopoietic (n = 53, 26%), alimentary (n = 52, 25%), urogenital (n = 35, 17%), integumentary (n = 26, 13%), endocrine (n = 14, 7%), nervous (n = 12, 5%), musculoskeletal (n = 4, 2%) and respiratory (n = 3, 1%). There were five miscellaneous neoplasms (2%) that could not be classified by system. Lymphosarcoma was the most common neoplasm (n = 51, 25%), and adenocarcinomas were second (n = 23, 11%), followed by squamous cell carcinomas (n = 10, 5%). Malignant cases numbered 114 (56%); 87 cases were (43%) benign. The malignancy of three cases (1%) was unreported.     

Survey of acarin fauna in dust samplings of curtains in the city of Campinas, Brazil.

The aim of this study was to investigate the mite fauna present in 33 living room and 22 bedroom curtain dust samples from 41 different homes in the southern Brazilian city of Campinas, SP. A total of 148 mite bodies were found. Of these, 83 were found in living-room curtain samples (56.1% of total) and 65 were in bedroom curtain dust samples (43.9%). The most frequently observed mite suborders were: Acaridida (n = 79; 53.4%), Actinedida (n=53; 35.8%), Oribatida (n=14; 9.5%), and Gamasida (n=2; 1.3%). The most frequent families were Pyroglyphidae (n=61; 41.2%), Eriophyidae (n=25; 16.9%), Tarsonemidae (n=15; 10.1%), and Glycyphagidae (n=13; 8.8%). No statistical difference was observed between the number of mites found in the samples from living room and bedroom curtains.     

Seroprevalence of hantaviruses in small wild mammals trapped in South Korea from 2005 to 2010

The seroprevalence of Hantaan virus (HTNV) in wild rodents in South Korea was analyzed. Wild rodents were trapped in 18 cities in eight provinces during 2005-2007 and on three islands and four mountains during 2008-2010. Sera were collected from 629 out of 933 trapped wild animals and examined for immunoglobulin G antibodies to HTNV using indirect immunofluorescence assays. Apodemus agrarius (80.1%) was the most frequently captured species at almost all trapping sites. The overall prevalence of HTNV antibodies was 0.26 (162/629). Seropositive individuals were more frequent in cities (32.2%, n=410) than on islands (14.0%, n=57) or mountains (13.6%, n= 162). HTNV antibody-positive rate was higher in the fall (29.6%, n=253) than in the spring (23.1%, n=376). A. agrarius had the highest prevalence of HTNV antibodies (26.9%, n=561) of all tested species. Considering all the individuals, the prevalence of HTNV antibodies was higher in males (29.2%, n=250) than in females (22.3%, n=305). Our results show that HTNV is widely distributed throughout South Korea, and that HTNV infection of wild rodents is affected by their habitat, species, sex, and season.     

Comparison of a recombinant-antigen enzyme immunoassay with Treponema pallidum hemagglutination test for serological confirmation of syphilis

A recombinant-antigen enzyme immunoassay (EIA), BioSCREEN anti-Treponema pallidum, was compared favorably with the T. pallidum hemagglutination test, in the detection of specific antibodies in different groups of sera from patients with primary (n = 38), secondary (n = 10), early latent (n = 28) and congenital syphilis (n = 2), patients with leptospirosis ( n= 8), infectious mononucleosis (n = 7), hepatitis (n = 9), diabetes mellitus (n = 11), rheumatoid arthritis (n = 13), leprosy (n = 11), tuberculosis (n = 9), HIV/Aids ( n= 12), systemic lupus erythematosus (n = 4), rheumatic fever (n = 3), old-persons (n = 9), pregnant women (n = 29) and blood donors (n = 164). The coincidence between them was 95.1%. The sensitivity and specificity of the EIA were 93.3% and 95.5%, respectively. Fifteen serum specimens belonging to old-persons, pregnant women, blood donors, and patients with human leptospirosis, hepatitis, diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis and rheumatic fever gave false-positive results by Venereal Disease Research Laboratory and/or Rapid Plasma Reagin. The EIA can be used as alternative method for the serological confirmation of syphilis.     

Pre-Existing HCV Variants Resistant to DAAs and Their Sensitivity to PegIFN/RBV in Chinese HCV Genotype 1b Patients

BackgroundThe efficacy of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) could be attenuated by the presence of resistance-associated variants (RAVs). The aim of this study was to investigate the natural prevalence of RAVs among Chinese HCV genotype 1b patients and analyze the efficacy of pegylated interferon (PegIFN)/ribavirin (RBV) therapy in patients with and without RAVs at baseline.MethodsDirect sequencing of the HCV NS3, NS5A and NS5B regions was performed in baseline serum samples of 117 DAAs-naïve subjects infected with HCV genotype 1b. The efficacy of PegIFN/RBV therapy in patients with and without RAVs at baseline was analyzed by comparing the response rates between patients with RAVs and patients with wild type virus.ResultsThe incidence of RAVs was 8.00% (8/100) in the NS3 region (T54S, n = 1, 1.00%; R117H, n = 5, 5.00%; S122T, n = 1, 1.00%; S174F, n = 1, 1.00%), 29.91% (32/107) in the NS5A region (L28M, n = 12, 11.21%; R30Q, n = 10, 9.35%; L31M, n = 1, 0.93%; P58S, n = 4, 3.74%; Y93H, n = 8, 7.48%) and 98.15% (106/108) in the NS5B region (L159F, n = 1, 0.93%; C316N, n = 103, 95.37%; A421V, n = 6, 5.56%). The response rates to PegIFN/RBV treatment did not differ between patients with or without RAVs in the NS5A region.ConclusionsPre-existing RAVs, including key RAVs, were detected in Chinese DAAs-naïve patients infected with HCV genotype 1b. IFN-based therapy could be a good option for patients with RAVs, especially key RAVs, at baseline.     

Reduction in co-trimoxazole resistance inEscherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infections between 1995 and 2005: a multicenter study in Ankara, Turkey

Co-trimoxazole resistance inEscherichia coli isolates from urinary tract infections (UTI) was assessed in 382 strains from 1995 and 510 strains from 2005. The strains were collected from five microbiology laboratories in Ankara, Turkey. Documentation on patient gender, age and outpatient/inpatient status was collected in 2005, but not in 1995. The resistance percentages were 751% in 1995 and 55.5% in 2005. This reduction in resistance percentage was statistically significant, overall in all except two of the participating laboratories. The resistance percentage in 2005 was 61.1% for children (n=208) and 51.2% for adults (n=258), 53.7% for females (n=380) and 60.8% for males (n=130), and 55.3% for outpatients (n=400) and 56.4% for inpatients (n=110). The reduction in resistance is believed to be a consequence of reduced usage. Although decreased, the level of co-trimoxazole resistance remains high, and continued avoidance of its use for empiric treatment of UTI in Turkey appears to be an appropriate strategy.     

Artificial insemination with frozen semen in dogs: a retrospective study of 10 years using a non-surgical approach

From 1994 to 2003, a total of 526 bitches of 99 different breeds were artificially inseminated in 685 estrus cycles with domestic (n = 353) or imported (n = 332) frozen-thawed semen from 368 males. The overall whelping rate was 73.1% and mean (+/- S.E.M.) litter size 5.7 +/- 0.1 pups. The whelping rate was higher after intrauterine insemination (75.0%; n = 665) than after intravaginal insemination (10.0%, n = 20; P < 0.05). Insemination at the optimal time resulted in a higher whelping rate (78%, n = 559; P < 0.01) and larger litter size (5.8 +/- 0.2; P < 0.05) than inseminations performed late or too late (55.7% and 4.5 +/- 0.5, n = 61). Two inseminations (n = 384) yielded a higher whelping rate (P < 0.05) and mean litter size (P < 0.01) than one insemination (n = 241), 78.1% and 6.0 +/- 0.2 and 70.5% and 5.1 +/- 0.2, respectively. For inseminations performed at the optimal time, however, the whelping rate was not significantly different for bitches inseminated twice (79.3%, n = 358) versus once (76.8%, n = 168), but the litter size was larger (6.0 +/- 0.2 and 5.3 +/- 0.3). Semen classified as of poor quality (progressive motility < 50% or percentage abnormal sperm > 20%) resulted in a lower whelping rate (P < 0.01) than semen classified as of good quality (progressive motility > or = 50% and percentage abnormal sperm < or = 20%), 61 and 77%, respectively. Small breeds (n = 50) had a smaller litter size (3.9 +/- 0.3; P < 0.01) than larger breeds (medium [5.7 +/- 0.3, n = 94], large [5.9 +/- 0.2, n = 295] or giant breeds [6.1 +/- 0.5, n = 62] [P < 0.01]). Bitches older than 6 years had a lower whelping rate (68.2%) than younger ones (77.0%; P < 0.05). The duration of pregnancy was longer (P < 0.01) for bitches with a litter size of < 3 pups (61.7 +/- 0. 4 days, n = 30) than for bitches with larger litters (60.5 +/- 0.1 days, n = 177). These results show the potential of transcervical intrauterine insemination for routine artificial insemination in dogs. The results with frozen semen inseminations were optimised by inseminating bitches < or = 6 years old 2 and 3 days after ovulation with semen of good quality from males < or = 8 years old.     

Chronotype and PERIOD3 Variable Number Tandem Repeat Polymorphism in Individual Sports Athletes

A link between diurnal preference and a variable number tandem-repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the PERIOD3 gene (PER3) has been demonstrated: the longer PER3(5) and shorter PER3(4) alleles with preferences for mornings and evenings, respectively. As many competitive events in South Africa for individual athletes are scheduled for the early mornings, we hypothesized that this might favor those athletes with a preference for morning activities. Self-selected white, male cyclists (CYC, n = 125), runners (RUN, n = 120) and Ironman triathletes (IM, n = 287) of European descent were compared with a control population of active, non-competitive individuals (CON, n = 96). The chronotypes of all CYC, RUN and CON participants and a sub-sample of the IM group (n = 49) were assessed using the Horne-?stberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, and the PER3 VNTR genotype for each participant was determined. The athlete groups contained more morning-type individuals than the CON group (CYC: 72%, n = 90; RUN: 67%, n = 80; IM: 59%, n = 29; CON: 41%, n = 39; p < .001). The prevalence of the PER3(5) allele was greater in the athlete groups (CYC: 61%, n = 152; RUN: 58%, n = 132; IM: 56%, n = 324; CON: 38%, n = 76; p < .001), and more athletes were genotyped as PER3(5/5) than CON individuals (CYC: 41%, n = 51; RUN: 23%, n = 26; IM: 28%, n = 81, CON: 9%, n = 8; p < .001). A strong relationship between chronotype and PER3 VNTR genotype was observed (p < .001). Finally, the time of day at which the athletes preferred to train was related to their chronotype (p < .001). This is the first study of its kind in a South African sporting population, and the results have not yet been replicated. These data suggest that white males of European descent participating in individual endurance sports in South Africa are more likely to be morning types. Furthermore, the PER3 VNTR may be one of the factors contributing to this observation. (Author correspondence: laura.roden@uct.ac.za ).     

去甲肾上腺素引起蟾蜍背根神经节神经细胞膜电位变化的离子机制

本文应用细胞内记录方法,对去甲肾上腺素(NA)引起蟾蜍背根神经节(DRG)神经细胞膜电位去极化或超极化反应时的膜电导及翻转电位值进行了测量,并观察了钾和钙离子通道阻断剂灌流DRG对NA引起膜电位反应的影响。当NA引起去极化反应时,15个细胞的膜电导减小32.6％。少数细胞膜电导开始增加,继而减小(n=4)。NA超极化反应时膜电导增加13.2％(n=8)。NA去极化反应的翻转电位值为-88.5±0.9mV((?)±SE,n=4),NA超极化反应在膜电位处于-89至-92mV时消失。 钾通道阻断剂四乙铵可使NA去极化幅值增加73.7±11.9％((?)±SE,n=7),并使NA超极化幅值减小40.5％(n=4)。细胞内注入氯化铯使苯肾上腺素去极化幅值增加34.5％(n=4)。钙通道阻断剂氯化锰使NA去极化及超极化反应分别减小50.5±9.9％((?)±SE,n=10)和89.5±4.9％((?)±SE,n=7)。结果提示,NA引起DRG神经细胞膜电位的去极化或超极化反应,可能与膜的钾及钙通道活动的改变有关。
