In southern Udmurtia, where occur both Dermacentor reticulatus and Ixodes persulcatus, in the years of high abundance of small mammals feeding periods of larvae and nymphs of these ticks coincide completely. The duration of simultaneous parasitism of preimago of the above ixodid species on animals is of epidemiological significance as far as within this period the infection of young stages of D. reticulatus with the virus of tick-borne encephalitis occurs. This is confirmed by the isolation of I strain of the virus from D. reticulatus collected at the state of engorged nymphs on hosts common with I. persulcatus and moulted in the laboratory. 相似文献

Introduction
Sclerostin levels have been reported to be low in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but there is no data regarding the possible role of this Wnt inhibitor during anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy. The present study longitudinally evaluated sclerostin levels, inflammatory markers and bone mineral density (BMD) in AS patients under anti-TNF therapy.Methods
Thirty active AS patients were assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months after anti-TNF therapy regarding clinical parameters, inflammatory markers, BMD and baseline radiographic damage (mSASSS). Thirty age- and sex-matched healthy individuals comprised the control group. Patients'' sclerostin levels, sclerostin binding low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) and BMD were evaluated at the same time points and compared to controls.Results
At baseline, AS patients had lower sclerostin levels (60.5 ± 32.7 vs. 96.7 ± 52.9 pmol/L, P = 0.002) and comparable sclerostin binding to LRP6 (P = 0.387) than controls. Improvement of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), Ankylosing Spondylitis quality of life (ASQoL) was observed at baseline vs. 6 vs. 12 months (P < 0.01). Concomitantly, a gradual increase in spine BMD (P < 0.001) and a positive correlation between baseline mSASSS and spine BMD was found (r = 0.468, P < 0.01). Inflammatory parameters reduction was observed comparing baseline vs. 6 vs. 12 months (P <0.01). Sclerostin levels progressively increased [baseline (60.5 ± 32.7) vs. 6 months (67.1 ± 31.9) vs. 12 months (72.7 ± 32.3) pmol/L, P <0.001]. At 12 months, the sclerostin levels remained significantly lower in patients compared to controls (72.7 ± 32.3 vs. 96.70 ± 52.85 pmol/L, P = 0.038). Moreover, sclerostin serum levels at 12 months were lower in the 10 patients with high C reactive protein (CRP) (≥ 5 mg/l) compared to the other 20 patients with normal CRP (P = 0.004). Of note, these 10 patients with persistent inflammation also had lower sclerostin serum levels at baseline compared to the other patients (P = 0.023). Univariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that AS patients with lower sclerostin serum levels had an increased risk to have high CRP at 12 months (odds ratio = 7.43, 95% CI 1.23 to 45.01, P = 0.020) than those with higher sclerostin values.Conclusions
Persistent low sclerostin levels may underlie continuous inflammation in AS patients under anti-TNF therapy. 相似文献16.
The time of the survival of Mycobacterium bovis in the soil of pastures depended on the physicochemical composition and biological activity of the soil. In clay soils M. bovis retained their virulence for as long as 2 months (at the depth of 2 cm in high- and medium-posted solonetz) to 12 months (at the depth of 10 cm in crust solonetz). The M. bovis strains under study multiplied in soil extracts (the term of observation was 8 months). The cultures grown at 20-24 degrees C were found to have the prolonged exponential phase in comparison with that of the cultures grown at 37.5-38.5 degrees C. In the deep litter and the soil under it M. avium remained viable for 10 years. 相似文献

Methods of quantitative estimation of critical photoperiod and critical date of entering the diapause in ixodids have been worked out. S-shaped dependence of the number of diapausing larvae and nymphs of Ixodes persulcatus on their feeding periods has been shown. It has been established that in Central Udmurtia the average critical date of entering the diapause in 50% of satiated larvae and nymphs falls at the 18th and 29th of June, respectively, with the light day length of 17 hr 10 min and 16 hr 22 min. 相似文献

It is recovered, that full engorged females of Ixodes persulcatus lay average of 25,250 eggs per 1 ha during the season in the test area. It produces 13,750 larvae. The abundance of hungry larvae is reduced up to 12,500 during the winter period. 11,643 larvae become engorged. The total abundance of hungry nymphs counts: 10,933 in autumn, and 9895 in spring. The total abundance of hungry adults, half of which is represented by females, makes 1774 in autumn, and 1084 in spring. About 10 females found their hosts and became successfully engorged. 相似文献

Gene regulatory divergence among species estimated by altered developmental patterns in interspecific hybrids 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Disturbances in the schedules of gene expression in developing
interspecific fish hybrids have been used to draw inferences about the
extent of gene regulatory divergence between species and about the degree
to which this gene regulatory divergence is correlated with structural gene
divergence, as estimated by genetic distance. Sperm from each of 10
different species representing six genera within the family Centrarchidae
was used to fertilize eggs of the Florida largemouth bass (Micropterus
salmoides floridanus). The genetic distances (D; Nei 1978) between the
parental species used to form the hybrids ranged from 0.133 to 0.974. The
developmental success and temporal patterns of gene expression of each of
the hybrids were compared with those of the Florida largemouth bass. As the
genetic distance between the paternal species and the Florida largemouth
bass increased, there was a general decline in developmental success in the
hybrid embryos as demonstrated by the observed reductions in the percentage
of hatching and by progressively earlier and more extensive morphological
abnormalities. Concomitantly, progressively more marked alterations in
developmental schedules of expression of 15 enzyme loci occurred in the
hybrids as the genetic distance between parental species increased.
However, observed deviations from this trend for a few species may
represent an uncoupling of the rates and modes of evolution of structural
genes from those for genes regulating developmental processes.
