Aims
To evaluate mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) and threonine effects on performance, small intestine morphology and Salmonella spp. counts in Salmonella Enteritidis‐challenged birds.Methods and Results
One‐day‐old chicks (1d) were distributed into five treatments: nonchallenged animals fed basal diet (RB‐0), animals fed basal diet and infected with Salmonella Enteritidis (RB‐I), animals fed high level of threonine and infected (HT‐I), birds fed basal diet with MOS and infected (MOS‐I), birds fed high level of threonine and MOS and infected (HT+MOS‐I). Birds were inoculated at 2d with Salmonella Enteritidis, except RB‐0 birds. Chicks fed higher dietary threonine and MOS showed performance similar to RB‐0 and intestinal morphology recovery at 8 dpi. Salmonella counts and the number of Salmonella‐positive animals were lower in HT+MOS‐I compared with other challenged groups.Conclusion
Mannan oligosaccharides and threonine act synergistically, resulting in improved intestinal environment and recovery after Salmonella inoculation.Significance and Impact of the Study
Nutritional approaches may be useful to prevent Salmonella infection in the first week and putative carcass contamination at slaughter. This is the first report on the possible synergistic effect of mannan oligosaccharides and threonine, and further studies should be performed including performance, microbiota evaluation, composition of intestinal mucins and immune assessment. 相似文献2.

McNamara, M.E., Orr, P.J., Manzocchi, T., Alcalá, L., Anadón, P. & Peñalver, E. 2011: Biological controls upon the physical taphonomy of exceptionally preserved salamanders from the Miocene of Rubielos de Mora, northeast Spain. Lethaia, Vol. 45, pp. 210–226. The middle Miocene Rubielos de Mora Konservat‐Lagerstätte of northeast Spain is hosted within profundal, finely laminated, lacustrine mudstones. The diverse biota includes abundant salamanders. Most individuals died during separate episodes and sank rapidly postmortem. Specimens are typically preserved in dorso‐ventral aspect, the most hydrodynamically stable orientation. The near‐cylindrical morphology of the body, however, allowed some carcasses to settle in or subsequently re‐orientate into, lateral orientations. Loss of skeletal elements (i.e. reduced completeness) reflects their location within the body and followed a distal to proximal trend. Two stages are identified: initial loss of a small number of phalanges, followed by loss of more proximal limb bones plus additional phalanges. Disarticulation is more complex: it occurred via several mechanisms (notably, abdominal rupture and re‐orientation of part of the body and limbs during decay) and shows no consistent pattern among specimens. The physical taphonomy of the salamanders is controlled predominantly by intrinsic biological factors, i.e. the geometry of the body and of individual skeletal elements, the orientation, inherent strength and location of specific joints and the extent to which soft tissues, particularly the skin, persist during decay. These biological factors probably control patterns of physical taphonomy of other fossil tetrapods with a similar skeletal configuration. □Articulation, completeness, Konservat‐Lagerstätten, orientation, quantitative taphonomy, salamanders. 相似文献

Bone tissue has an exceptional quality to regenerate to native tissue in response to injury. However, the fracture repair process requires mechanical stability or a viable biological microenvironment or both to ensure successful healing to native tissue. An improved understanding of the molecular and cellular events that occur during bone repair and remodeling has led to the development of biologic agents that can augment the biological microenvironment and enhance bone repair. Orthobiologics, including stem cells, osteoinductive growth factors, osteoconductive matrices, and anabolic agents, are available clinically for accelerating fracture repair and treatment of compromised bone repair situations like delayed unions and nonunions. Preclinical and clinical studies using biologic agents like recombinant bone morphogenetic proteins have demonstrated an efficacy similar or better than that of autologous bone graft in acute fracture healing. A lack of standardized outcome measures for comparison of biologic agents in clinical fracture repair trials, frequent off-label use, and a limited understanding of the biological activity of these agents at the bone repair site have limited their efficacy in clinical applications. 相似文献

Eight Danish Holstein cows were milked with a 1-mm thick specially designed soft liner on their right rear teat and a standard
liner mounted under extra high tension on their left rear teat. Four of the animals were overmilked for 5 min. Rear teats
were subjected to ultrasound examination on the first day and to infrared thermography on the second day. Teats were submersed
in ethanol 20 min post-milking on the second day. Ultrasonography measurements showed that teat canal length increased by
30–41% during milking. Twenty minutes after milking, teats milked with modified standard liners still had elongated teat canals
while teats milked with the soft liner were normalized. Overmilking tended to increase teat wall thickness. Approximately
80% of variability in teat canal length, from before teat preparation to after milking, could be explained by changes during
teat preparation. Thermography indicated a general drop in teat temperature during teat preparation. Teat temperature increased
during milking and continued to increase until the ethanol challenge induced a significant drop. Temperatures approached pre-challenge
rather than pre-milking temperatures within 10 minutes after challenge. Teat temperatures were dependent on type of liner.
Mid-teat temperatures post-challenge relative to pre-teat preparation were dependent on overmilking. Thermography and ultrasound
were considered useful methods to indirectly and non invasively evaluate teat tissue integrity. 相似文献

To find out the infection efficiency of recombinant adeno-as sociated virus 2-mediated exogenou s genes in human peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells(D Cs),the process of transfection wa s investigated by FITC-labeled rAA V2,and observed under confocal mic roscope.Newly separated dendritic cells were tranfected by rAAV2-luc and rAAV2-GFP at different MOI,and transfection efficiency were detec ted by luminometer for rAAV2-luc a nd flow cytometry for rAAV2-GFP.Th e results were elucidated in four different assay systems:(1)60min w as needed for rAAV2 to bind on den dritic cells,and got into cells in the following 10min;(2)the express ion of luc could be detected at th e MOI as low as 1×10~5v.g/cell,and the expression plateau was reached by the MOI of 10~6~10~7v.g/cell,furt her increase of MOI had no functio n on expression level;(3)transgene expression was detected after 48h, and maintained a higher expression level from 96h to 240h after infec tion;(4)7days postinfection of rAA V2-GFP,5%~18% dendritic cells were GFP positive. These data suggest th at rAAV2 vector can efficiently in fect monocyte-derived dendritic ce lls and mediate exogenous gene exp ression,and that the application o f rAAV2 as vector may be useful fo r gene transfer to dendritic cells in ex vivo immunotherapy. 相似文献

Body condition‐dependent dispersal strategies are common in nature. Although it is obvious that environmental constraints may induce a positive relationship between body condition and dispersal, it is not clear whether positive body conditional dispersal strategies may evolve as a strategy in metapopulations. We have developed an individual‐based simulation model to investigate how body condition–dispersal reaction norms evolve in metapopulations that are characterized by different levels of environmental stochasticity and dispersal mortality. In the model, body condition is related to fecundity and determined either by environmental conditions during juvenile development (adult dispersal) or by those experienced by the mother (natal dispersal). Evolutionarily stable reaction norms strongly depend on metapopulation conditions: positive body condition dependency of dispersal evolved in metapopulation conditions with low levels of dispersal mortality and high levels of environmental stochasticity. Negative body condition‐dependent dispersal evolved in metapopulations with high dispersal mortality and low environmental stochasticity. The latter strategy is responsible for higher dispersal rates under kin competition when dispersal decisions are based on body condition reached at the adult life stage. The evolution of both positive and negative body condition‐dependent dispersal strategies is consequently likely in metapopulations and depends on the prevalent environmental conditions. 相似文献

This study evaluated the expression of heat shock protein 70 kD (hsp70) in broiler chicken embryos subjected to cold (Experiment I) or high incubation temperature (Experiment II). In each experiment, fertile eggs were distributed in three incubators kept at 37.8 degrees C. At day 13 (D13), D16, and D19 of incubation, the embryos were subjected to acute cold (32 degrees C) or heat (40 degrees C) for 4-6 hr. Immediately after cold or heat exposure, samples from the liver, heart, breast muscle, brain, and lungs of 40 embryos were taken per age and treatment (control or stressed embryos). A tissue pool from 10 embryos was used as 1 replication. The levels of hsp70 in each tissue sample was quantified by Western blot analysis. The data were analyzed in a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments with four replications. hsp70 was detected in all embryo tissues, and the brain contained 2- to 5-times more hsp70 protein compared to the other tissues in either cold or heat stressed embryos. hsp70 increases were observed in the heart and breast muscle of cold stressed embryos at D16 and D19, respectively. Heat stressed embryos showed an increase of hsp70 in the heart at D13 and D19, and in the lung at D19 of incubation. Younger embryos had higher hsp70 synthesis than older embryos, irrespective of the type of thermal stressor. The results indicate that the expression of hsp70 in broiler chicken embryos is affected by cold and heat distress, and is tissue- and age-dependent. 相似文献
