The gall bladder of eight dogs 3 months old were extracted and studied by the Holme's and Gross-Bielschowsky techniques. The nerves were found to form an extensive network within the wall of the gall bladder. However, 5 plexuses were identified and their arrangement was similar to that in the wall of the intestine. Nerve cells were only found in relation with the myenteric plexus. Moreover, knob-like terminals and circular type of nerve endings were noticed on the muscularis. The findings of the intrinsic innervation of the gall bladder of the dog were compared with that of man, monkey and guinea pig and the significance of that innervation was discussed. 相似文献

Background
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in the post-poliomyelitis eradication era. This is the first study done to identify the epidemiology, clinical features, and outcome of GBS in Iraqi children over 15 years.Methods
The surveillance database about AFP cases?<?15 years reported during January 1997-December 2011 was used.Results
GBS represented 52.5% of AFP cases, with an incidence of 1.33 case/100,000 population?<?15 years/year. There was a higher incidence in the Southern provinces, age group 1–4 years, males, and outside the capital city of province, with no significant seasonal variations (p?=?.22). Survival probability after the 1 year of onset for those with respiratory muscle involvement was .76 (95% CI: .60-.86), versus .97 (95% Cl: .96-.98) for those who did not develop it (p?<?.001); and .97 (95% CI: .96-.98) for those living inside the capital city, versus .94 (.93-.95) for those living outside (p?=?.001). Cumulative incidence of residual paralysis for patients living inside the capital city was .21 (95% CI: .18-.24), versus .27 (95% CI: .25-.29) for those living outside (p?<?.001).Conclusions
The incidence, age and gender distribution, and seasonality of GBS among Iraqi children is similar to those reported from other previous studies. It is the most important cause of AFP, especially in those between the age of 1 to 4 years living in rural areas.3.
Thiol‐based switch mechanism of virulence regulator AphB modulates oxidative stress response in Vibrio cholerae 下载免费PDF全文

Bacterial pathogens display versatile gene expression to adapt to changing surroundings. For example, Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, utilizes distinct genetic programs to combat reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aquatic environments or during host infection. We previously reported that the virulence activator AphB in V. cholerae is involved in ROS resistance. Here by performing a genetic screen, we show that AphB represses ROS resistance gene ohrA, which is also repressed by another regulator, OhrR. Reduced forms of both AphB and OhrR directly bind to the ohrA promoter and repress its expression, whereas organic hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) deactivate AphB and OhrR. OhrA is critical for V. cholerae adult mouse colonization but is dispensable when the mice are treated with antioxidants. Furthermore, similar to our previous finding that AphB and OhrR exhibit different reduction rates during the shift from oxic to anoxic environments, we found that AphB is also oxidized more slowly than OhrR under peroxide stress or exposure to oxygen. This differential regulation optimizes the expression of ohrA and contributes to V. cholerae's ability to survive in a variety of environmental niches that contain different levels of ROS. 相似文献

Mesothelial cell intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has recently been shown to play a role in tumour cell adherence to the peritoneum. However, solid tumours poorly express its most ubiquitous ligand, beta2 integrin. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the beta2 integrin subunit and CD43, a known ligand for ICAM-1, in the development of peritoneal metastases. beta2 Integrin subunit and CD43 expression was assessed on a number of tumour cell lines. Adhesion of SW1222 and PSN-1 cells to human peritoneal mesothelial cells was investigated using a fluorometric assay incorporating an inhibitory antibody to beta2 integrin and CD43. beta2 Integrin expression was not inducible on these tumour cell lines, but Western blotting demonstrated CD43 expression in all the cancer cell lines examined and cell surface expression was confirmed by flow cytometry. The anti-CD43 antibody significantly reduced adhesion of PSN-1 and SW1222 cells to HPMC, however beta2 integrin inhibition did not reduce tumour cell adhesion. CD43 is expressed by a variety of carcinoma cell lines, and plays a role in tumour cell-peritoneal adhesion probably via interactions with its putative ligand ICAM-1. 相似文献

Can genetically based clines in plant defence explain greater herbivory at higher latitudes? 下载免费PDF全文

Greater plant defence is predicted to evolve at lower latitudes in response to increased herbivore pressure. However, recent studies question the generality of this pattern. In this study, we tested for genetically based latitudinal clines in resistance to herbivores and underlying defence traits of Oenothera biennis. We grew plants from 137 populations from across the entire native range of O. biennis. Populations from lower latitudes showed greater resistance to multiple specialist and generalist herbivores. These patterns were associated with an increase in total phenolics at lower latitudes. A significant proportion of the phenolics were driven by the concentrations of two major ellagitannins, which exhibited opposing latitudinal clines. Our analyses suggest that these findings are unlikely to be explained by local adaptation of herbivore populations or genetic variation in phenology. Rather greater herbivory at high latitudes can be explained by latitudinal clines in the evolution of plant defences. 相似文献

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of diet on the biology of the phytoseiid mite, Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans). The predatory mite was able to develop and reproduce better when fed on the eriophyid mites, Aceria olivi (Zaher and Abou-Awad), Aceria dioscoridis (Soliman and Abou-Awad) and Cisaberoptus kenyae (Keifer). The developmental time of immature stages was the shortest when fed on motile stages of eriophyid mite species, followed by the spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, and then pollen grains of Ricinus communis L., Phoenix dactylifera L. and Helianthus annuus L. Total egg production was highest when the predator fed on A. olivi, A. dioscoridis and C. kenyae recording at the rate of 51.0 50.0 and 43.84 eggs/female, respectively, but lowest on pollen grains, R. communis, P. dactylifera and H. annuus at the rate of 11.96, 5.3 and 2.0 eggs/female, respectively. But, the reproduction was nil on the tetranychid mite, T. urticae. Also, sex ratio of the progeny favoured females, when the predatory mite was reared on the eriophyid preys. E. finlandicus recorded the highest intrinsic rate of increase (rm?=?0.31 females/female/day) when fed on A. dioscoridis, followed by (0.30 and 0.23 females/female/day) when fed on A. olivi and C. kenyae, respectively. In contrast, the lowest intrinsic rate of increase (rm?=??0.31) was noted when fed on H. annuus pollen grains. The eriophyid mite, as a prey, recorded the shortest developmental time and highest oviposition rate of E. finlandicus. 相似文献

The graft copolymerization of ethylacrylate (EA) onto chitosan initiated by potassium persulphate and Mohr's salt combined redox initiator system in limited aqueous medium was carried out in heterogeneous media. Moreover, modification of the grafted chitosan was carried out by reaction of the ester group (-COOEt) with 2-amino-4,5-pentamethylene-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid hydrazide which eventually produce chitosan-grafted-poly(2-amino-4,5-pentamethylene-thiophene-3-carboxylic acid N'-acryloyl-hydrazide) (chitosan-g-ATAH) chelating resin. The application of the modified resin for metal ion uptake was studied using Cu(2+), Co(2+) and Ni(2+) ions. The modified chelating resins were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, SEM and X-ray diffraction. 相似文献

The skin of albino mouse foetuses aged 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 days was studied histologically and quantitatively. The skin of foetuses aged 21 days after maternal hypervitaminosis A, was compared with that of 21 days controls. On the 13th day, the epidermis consisted of one layer of cuboidal cells. The stratum intermedium appeared on the 15th day, the stratum granulosum on the 19th day and the stratum corneum on the 21st day of intrauterine life. The quantitative study showed that although the epidermis increased more rapidly in thickness in the interval between the 13th and 17th day than in the subsequent 4 days, yet in the latter period differentiation of the stratum granulosum and corneum took place. On the other hand, the rate of proliferation of the epithelial cells concerned in the follicle formation was more rapid in the last two days of intrauterine life than in any previous prenatal stage. After maternal hypervitaminosis A, the whole thickness of the epidermis was reduced by 50% and the dermis showed an oedematous appearance. The hair follicle primordia showed a decreased volume. 相似文献
