Different staining methods were evaluated for studying aspergillosis of the central nervous system (CNS). The pathological changes and fungal elements in cerebrum and cerebellum of 17 turkey poults with aspergillosis were examined and described. Tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Kluver-Barrera's and Grocott's methods, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS). Focal granulomatous reactions with central necrosis were observed in the HE stained slides. Fungal hyphae were easily demonstrated using Grocott's method and PAS. These two methods, however, were not suitable for describing detailed histopathological changes. The Kluver-Barrera method was used to demonstrate the neural tissue reaction. Neurons were found to be sensitive to aspergillosis, in contrast to glial cells that showed fewer pathological changes. The fungal elements were clearly visible with the Kluver-Barrera method, resulting in better information about the interactions of neural tissue, the inflammatory response, and the fungus. The use of the Kluver-Barrera method for this purpose has not been documented previously. 相似文献

Two mouse IFN-gamma receptor (MoIFN gamma R)-Ig fusion proteins, which were constructed for the purpose of creating new efficient mouse IFN-gamma (MoIFN-gamma) inhibitor molecules, were studied in vivo to determine their plasma half-life and immunogenicity, and to show their biologic activity. The hybrid proteins show 40-h blood persistency. They do not provoke an antibody response when injected into mice, and they are biologically active in vivo, as demonstrated by the prevention of streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The two fusion proteins are efficient MoIFN-gamma antagonists and can be used in mouse models of human diseases to investigate the role of MoIFN gamma in these pathologic states. 相似文献

Stringent mating-type-regulated auxotrophy increases the accuracy of systematic genetic interaction screens with Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant arrays 下载免费PDF全文
A genomic collection of haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion strains provides a unique resource for systematic analysis of gene interactions. Double-mutant haploid strains can be constructed by the synthetic genetic array (SGA) method, wherein a query mutation is introduced by mating to mutant arrays, selection of diploid double mutants, induction of meiosis, and selection of recombinant haploid double-mutant progeny. The mechanism of haploid selection is mating-type-regulated auxotrophy (MRA), by which prototrophy is restricted to a particular haploid genotype generated only as a result of meiosis. MRA escape leads to false-negative genetic interaction results because postmeiotic haploids that are supposed to be under negative selection instead proliferate and mate, forming diploids that are heterozygous at interacting loci, masking phenotypes that would be observed in a pure haploid double-mutant culture. This work identified factors that reduce MRA escape, including insertion of terminator and repressor sequences upstream of the MRA cassette, deletion of silent mating-type loci, and utilization of α-type instead of a-type MRA. Modifications engineered to reduce haploid MRA escape reduced false negative results in SGA-type analysis, resulting in >95% sensitivity for detecting gene–gene interactions. 相似文献

One interferon gamma receptor binds one interferon gamma dimer 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We investigated the stoichiometry of the interferon gamma and interferon gamma receptor interaction, using recombinant interferon gamma and recombinant soluble interferon gamma receptor, applying chemical cross-linking and chromatographic techniques, and analyzing the resulting products in denaturing polyacrylamide gels. Interferon gamma cross-linked to itself produced a major band of an apparent molecular mass of 34 kDa, which suggests that it exists as a dimer in physiological buffer and which agrees with published data. Soluble interferon gamma receptor cross-linked to itself produced mainly a 28-kDa band, suggesting that the interferon gamma receptor exists as a monomer. Interferon gamma cross-linked to the soluble interferon gamma receptor resulted in the formation of two main products of apparent molecular masses of 60 and 44 kDa. The predominant 60-kDa band resulted from the cross-linking of one interferon gamma dimer (34 kDa) to one interferon gamma receptor molecule (27 kDa). The 44-kDa band was formed by the cross-linking of one interferon gamma molecule to one interferon gamma receptor. Kinetic studies showed that the cross-linking of interferon gamma dimer to the soluble receptor proceeds through the intermediate formed by cross-linking one molecule of the interferon gamma dimer to the receptor. Reducing and dissociating agents inhibited complex formation. When chromatographed on Sephadex G-100, interferon gamma was eluted as a protein of 34-kDa molecular mass, the soluble interferon gamma receptor as a protein of 40 kDa, and their mixture was eluted in one peak corresponding to an apparent molecular mass of 73 kDa. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel analysis of the eluted mixture showed the presence of both interferon gamma and interferon gamma receptor at a ratio of 2:1. The found results suggest that the interferon gamma receptor binds interferon gamma as a dimer. 相似文献

Effects of Selenium with Vitamin E and Melatonin on Cadmium-Induced Oxidative Damage in Rat Liver and Kidneys 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The present study was performed to determine the protective effects of melatonin alone and vitamin E with selenium combination
against cadmium-induced oxidative damage in rat liver. A total of 60 male rats were equally divided into five groups, one
of which acted as control receiving subcutaneous injections of physiological saline. The remaining four groups were treated
with subcutaneous injections of cadmium chloride at a dose of 1 mg/kg weight. The first study group received no treatment.
The second group was treated with a combination of 60 mg/kg vitamin E and 1 mg/kg sodium selenite. Group 3 was treated with
10 mg/kg melatonin, and the four group received a combination of vitamin E, sodium selenite, and melatonin at the doses mentioned
above. After 1 month, the animals were killed, and liver and kidneys were excised for histopathological inspection and determination
of tissue malondialdehyde and the activity of superoxide dismutase. The animals receiving no treatment showed significantly
higher malondialdehyde levels and reduced activity of superoxide dismutase (p < 0.05). Treatment with antioxidants resulted in a significant reduction in malondialdehyde when compared to nontreated animals
(p < 0.05) and increase in the enzyme activity that was almost the same as the controls. The pathological findings were also
in parallel with the results of the biochemical analysis. In conclusion, all the agents tested had protective effects against
cadmium-induced oxidative damage. 相似文献

Synthesis of beta-cyclodextrin and starch based polymers for sorption of azo dyes from aqueous solutions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Three beta-cyclodextrin (polymers 1-3) and a starch-based (polymer 4) polymers were synthesized using hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) as a cross-linking agent in dry dimethylformamide and used as a sorbent for the removal of some selected azo dyes from aqueous solutions. The cross-linked polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analysis. Results of sorption showed that cyclodextrin and starch based polymers can be effectively used as a sorbent for the removal of anionic azo dyes. The Influence of the amide groups and the chemical structure of azo dyes are also studied. Results of sorption experiments showed that these adsorbent exhibited high sorption capacities toward Direct Violent 51 (80% for polymer 1, 69% for polymer 2, 70% for polymer 3 and 78% for polymer 4). The sorption capacity of dyes on the polymers was dependent on the presence of sulfonate groups of the anionic dyes. In order to explain the results an adsorption mechanism mainly physical adsorption and interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ion-exchange due to the nature of the polymer network and the formation of an inclusion complex due to the beta-CD molecules through host-guest interaction is proposed. 相似文献

A hydroxamic acid screening hit 1 was elaborated to 5,5-dimethyl-2-oxoazepane derivatives exhibiting low nanomolar inhibition of gamma-secretase, a key proteolytic enzyme involved in Alzheimer's disease. Early ADME data showed a high metabolic clearance for the geminal dimethyl analogs which could be overcome by replacement with the bioisosteric geminal difluoro group. Synthesis and structure-activity relationship are discussed and in vivo active compounds are presented. 相似文献

A new composite facial and scalp transplantation model in rats 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

There are limited sources of autogenous tissue available for reconstruction of severe facial and scalp deformities caused by extensive tumor ablation, burns, or trauma. Allografts from cadaveric sources may serve as a reconstructive alternative. However, technical and immunological aspects of harvesting and transplanting face and scalp flaps limit the routine use of such procedures. For evaluation of the feasibility of composite-tissue reconstruction, an experimental model of composite face/scalp flap transplantation in rats was designed. Technical aspects of the model, survival rates, and the complications encountered during development of the model are presented. A total of 64 animals, in three experimental groups, were studied. In group I, the anatomical study group (n = 6), the anatomical features of the face and scalp region in rats were explored. Groups II and III were the transplantation groups. Isograft transplantations were performed between identical Lewis rats (RT11 to RT11), and allografts were transplanted, across major histocompatibility complex barriers, between Lewis-Brown Norway rats (RT1l/n) and Lewis rats (RT11). In group II (the control group, n = 8), transplantation of nonvascularized composite face/scalp isografts and allografts was performed. In group III (the transplantation group, n = 50), vascularized face/scalp isografts (n = 36) and allografts (n = 14) were transplanted. Complications included partial or total flap necrosis, death attributable to food aspiration, and poor general condition. To prevent acute and chronic allograft rejection, cyclosporine A (16 mg/kg per day) therapy was initiated 24 hours after transplantation; the dose was tapered to 2 mg/kg per day within 4 weeks and was maintained at that level thereafter. Long-term survival (>170 days) was achieved, without any signs of rejection, with low-dose (2 mg/kg per day) cyclosporine A therapy. This is the first report documenting successful composite face/scalp flap transplantation in the rat model. 相似文献
