The yeastCandida albicans coaggregates with a variety of streptococcal species, an interaction that may promote oral colonization by yeast cells.C. albicans andCandida tropicalis are the yeasts most frequently isolated from the human oral cavity and our data demonstrate that both these species bind toStreptococcus gordonii NCTC 7869 while two otherCandida species (Candida krusei andCandida kefyr) do not. Adherence ofC. albicans was greatest when the yeast had been grown at 30° C to mid-exponential growth phase. For 21 strains ofC. albicans there was a positive correlation between the ability to adhere toS. gordonii and adherence to experimental salivary pellicle. Whole saliva either stimulated or slightly inhibited adherence ofC. albicans toS. gordonii depending on the streptococcal growth conditions. The results suggest that the major salivary adhesins and coaggregation adhesins ofC. albicans are co-expressed. 相似文献

Vinpocetine is a widely used drug for the treatment of cerebrovascular and memory disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vinpocetine on the acute hepatic injury caused in the rat by the administration of CCl4 in vivo. Vinpocetine (2.1, 4.2, 8.4 mg/kg) or silymarin (30 mg/kg) was given once daily orally simultaneously with CCl4 and for 15 days thereafter. Liver damage was assessed by determining serum enzyme activities and hepatic histopathology. Stained sections were subjected to morphometric evaluation using computerized image analyzer. The results showed that vinpocetine administered to CCl4-treated rats decreased the elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) by 49.3, 58.1 and 63.6%, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) by 10.5, 22.6 and 27.2% and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) by 52.5, 59.6 and 64.9%, respectively, and in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, silymarin reduced elevated ALT, AST and ALP levels by 53.1, 26.9 and 66%, respectively. Histological examination of liver specimens revealed a marked reduction in liver cell necrosis in vinpocetine and silymarin-treated rats compared with vehicle-treated CCl4-treated rats. Quantitative analysis of the area of damage showed 85.3% reduction in the area of damage after silymarin and 72.2, 78.9 and 82.6% reduction after vinpocetine treatment at 2.1, 4.2, 8.4 mg/kg, respectively. It is concluded that administration of vinpocetine in a model of CCl4-induced liver injury in rats reduced liver damage. The reduction obtained by 4.2 mg/kg of vinpocetine was similar to that obtained by 30 mg/kg silymarin. Therefore, it is suggested that vinpocetine might be a good pharmacological agent in the treatment of liver disease besides its neuroprotective effects. 相似文献

Whole boar semen or seminal plasma has been demonstrated to advance the time of ovulation in gilts. As a means of clarifying
this influence, the contribution of uterine lymphatics and their white cell populations has been examined. After duct visualisation
with Evan's blue, lymph was sampled from a mesometrial vessel in eight pre-ovulatory gilts whose uterine lumen was infused
simultaneously with whole semen in one ligated horn and saline in the contralateral ligated horn. Lymph was collected from
cannulated vessels for periods of up to four hours under general anaesthesia. Thereafter, mesometrial lymph nodes, utero-tubal
junction and uterine wall tissues were sampled. The proportion of nucleated cells in the sampled lymph increased towards the
end of the collection period, but erythrocytes were found in all instances preventing a meaningful differentiation and identification
of leukocytes. Prominent uterine lymph nodes were present in the mesometrium on both sides of the reproductive tract in 7
of 10 gilts. Differences in cellular contents were demonstrated between the side of the tract infused with semen and that
infused with saline control. Two of 4 gilts had lower values for CD4 (Cluster Differentiation) and 3 of 6 gilts higher values
for MHC II (Major Histocompatibility Complex) markers on the side challenged with semen. In contrast, values remained constant
for CD8 but ranged widely for CD18. Immunohistochemical analysis of uterine tissue samples for MHC II+ cells revealed significant
differences (P < 0.05) between the control and semen-treated ligated portions of the horns, as well as between the tissue
sample of uterine wall and that from the utero-tubal junction, but there were no significant differences for CD4+ cells. It
therefore remains plausible that semen-induced cytokines in the uterine lymph undergo counter-current transfer to the ipsilateral
ovary and accelerate the final maturation of pre-ovulatory Graafian follicles. 相似文献

The cosegregation of ten coding loci has been investigated, in a panel of 37 somatic cell hybrids resulting from the fusion
of a hamster cell line and river buffalo lymphocytes, by use of Southern hybridization technique. Five syntenic groups, TCRB-PGY3,
ASS-ABL, FUCA1P-CRYG, MBP-YES1, and CGN1-ACTA1, previously assigned to cattle as U13, U16, U17, U28, and U29 respectively,
were also found to be syntenic in buffalo. Based on the extensive syntenic conservation and banding homology between cattle
and river buffalo, comparative mapping predicts the localization of these syntenic groups on river buffalo Chromosomes (Chrs)
:BBU7, BBU12, BBU2q, BBU22, and BBU4q respectively as they have been previously localized on cattle Chrs BTA4, BTA11, BTA2,
BTA24 & BTA28.

Climate change poses an unprecedented threat to biodiversity worldwide. Consequently, unrecognised taxa may not receive adequate conservation attention to survive. We used molecular and morphological data to address the challenge of species delimitation within the genus Schilbe. The presence or absence of an adipose fin and distribution based on east-flowing, conceivably faster-flowing, or west-flowing, probably more slow-flowing, river systems were considered. Distinctive geographic patterns in genetic variation within southern, eastern, and western African populations were revealed. Particularly, the South African population is distinct from those of Namibia, Botswana and Nigeria. No individuals with rudimentary adipose fins were found at any locality, but specimens from three localities either had or did not have adipose fins. These mixed occurrences are suspected to be a result of human interventions, and that the presence of rudimentary adipose fins in the east African species could be an adaptive feature that serves to stabilise these fish in faster currents. In addition, the genetic divergence observed among African silver catfish from geographically isolated river systems is conceivably the result of micro-evolutionary adaptive responses to different environmental conditions. Collectively, these results distinguish S. depressirostris from S. intermedius. 相似文献
