Effect of temperature on the velocity of erythrocyte aggregation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The velocity of the aggregation of human erythrocytes was examined in the range of 5-43 degrees C with a rheoscope combined with a video camera, an image analyzer and a computer. (1) With increasing temperature, the velocity of erythrocyte aggregation induced by fibrinogen, immunoglobulin G and artificial macromolecules (dextran of 70 kDa and poly(glutamic acid) of 50 kDa) increased. However, the relationship between the velocity of erythrocyte aggregation and the temperature was different among these macromolecules. (2) In 70% autologous plasma, the velocity of erythrocyte aggregation was minimum at 15-18 degrees C, and increased at both higher and lower temperatures. (3) The shape of erythrocyte aggregates in 12 mumol/l fibrinogen (containing 770 mumol/l albumin) and in 70% autologous plasma was dependent on temperature: three-dimensional below 15-18 degrees C and one-dimensional (mainly rouleaux) above 15-18 degrees C. However, the shape of aggregates in 27 mumol/l immunoglobulin G (containing 770 mumol/l albumin) was three-dimensional in all temperature ranges. (4) The temperature dependency of erythrocyte aggregation was discussed in terms of the changes of medium viscosity, of erythrocyte properties and of bridging macromolecules. 相似文献

Embryos were collected nonsurgically from n?turally-cycling or superovulated donors 7 d after estrus. Forty-four morulae, early blastocysts and blastocysts classified as good to excellent were bisected using a fine glass needle to produce forty-four identical demi-embryos. The bisected demi-embryos, without zonae pellucidae, were nonsurgically transferred, either by twin or single transfer. An additional forty-eight embryos were collected from the same donors and transferred as a control. Among the twin transfers, 8 of the 13 recipients became pregnant (61.5%). Seven of them conceived twin fetuses (87%) and one a single fetus. However, only two sets of normal identical twin calves were obtained. Among the single transfers, 72.6% (45/62) of bisected embryos without zonae pellucidae resulted in pregnancy, of which 48.4% (30/62) were identical twins, and 24.2% (15/62) were singletons. Another 27.4% (17/62) of the recipients did not became pregnant. The pregnancy rate for whole embryos with zonae pellucidae was 72.9% (35/48). These data show that there was no significant difference between the pregnancy rates of bisected embryos without zonae pellucidae and whole embryos with zonae pellucidae transferred 7 d after estrus. Bisection of bovine embryos was simplified and even morula stage embryos were transferred without zonae pellucidae. 相似文献

Effect of pH on the velocity of erythrocyte aggregation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of pH on the velocity of aggregation of human erythrocytes was quantitatively examined with a rheoscope combined with a video-camera, an image analyzer and a computer, in relation to the morphological changes of erythrocytes and their aggregates. (i) With increasing pH of the medium, the velocity of erythrocyte aggregation increased. (ii) The rouleaux formed at high pH were longer in shape and more stable against the increase of shear rate than those formed at low pH. (iii) With increasing pH, the diameter of erythrocyte increased, the (maximum) thickness decreased, and the cell volume decreased. The pH dependency of erythrocyte aggregation may be mainly due to the morphological change of erythrocytes, and partly due to the changes of erythrocyte deformability and of interaction with macromolecules. 相似文献

The influence of equilibration time before vitrification on the viability of vitrified morula- to blastocyst-stage bovine embryos and in vivo viability of vitrified embryos following transfer to recipients were investigated. In experiment 1, the embryos were exposed to an equilibration solution (50% VSED) containing 12.5% v/v ethylene glycol and 12.5% v/v dimethyl sulfoxide in modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline with 4 mg/ml BSA (m-PBS) for 1, 2 and 5 minutes at room temperature (22 to 24 degrees C). The embryos were then placed in 15mul vitrification solution (VSED) consisting of 25% v/v ethylene glycol and 25% v/v dimethyl sulfoxide in m-PBS and were loaded into 0.25 ml plastic straws at room temperature. After 30 seconds, the straws were placed in liquid nitrogen (LN(2)) vapor for 2 minutes, plunged and stored in LN(2). To thaw, the straws were warmed in water at 20 degrees C for 15 seconds and the contents of the straws were expelled into a plastic dish. The embryos were diluted in 0.5 M sucrose + m-PBS for 5 minutes and were cultured in TCM-199 supplemented with bovine oviductal epithelial tissue. Viability of the embryos was assessed by the forming or reforming of the blastocoele after 24 hours of culture. High in vitro survival rates (73 approximately 90%) of vitrified embryos were obtained after 1 and 2 minute equilibrations, but was reduced (P<0.05) after 5 minute equilibration. In Experiment 2, morula- to blastocyst-stage embryos were vitrified after 1 minute equilibration in 50% VSED and 30 seconds of exposure to VSED. The vitrified-warmed embryos were transferred to recipient heifers at 7 days after estrus (1 embryo per recipient). Five (38%) of 13 (40%) of 10 recipients that had received blastocysts were diagnosed as pregnant using ultrasonography 60 days following transfer. 相似文献

Seasonal and areal features of the lagoonal environment in Lake Nakanoumi,a shallow coastal lagoon in Japan 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Lake Nakanoumi is a shallow coastal lagoon connected with the Japan Sea by a narrow channel. Over the past decade, land reclamation resulted in a 33% reduction of the lagoon's surface area. The remaining water basin of Lake Nakanoumi is scheduled to be artificially freshened to supply irrigation water for the newly reclaimed lands. This paper deals with the seasonal and areal features of the lagoonal environment prior to the beginning of the artificial desalinization. 相似文献

Background
Many studies have focused on the decreasing age of onset of eating disorders (EDs). Because school-age children with EDs are likely to suffer worse physical effects than adults, early detection and appropriate support are important. The cooperation of Yogo teachers is essential in helping these students to find appropriate care. To assist Yogo teachers, it is helpful to clarify the encounter rates (the proportion of Yogo teachers who have encountered ED students) and kinds of requested support (which Yogo teachers felt necessary to support ED students). There are no studies that have surveyed the prevalence rates of ED children by ED type as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), nor were we able to find any quantitative study surveying the kinds of support Yogo teachers feel helpful to support ED students.Methods
A questionnaire survey was administered to 655 Yogo teachers working at elementary/junior high/senior high/special needs schools in Chiba Prefecture. The questionnaire asked if the respondents had encountered students with each of the ED types described in DSM-5 (anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and other types of EDs (Others)), and the kinds of support they felt necessary to support these students. The encounter rates and the kinds of requested were obtained and compared, taking their confidence intervals into consideration.Results
The encounter rates for AN, BN, BED, ARFID, and Others were 48.4, 14.0, 8.4, 10.7, and 4.6 %, respectively. When classified by school type, AN, BN, BED, and ARFID had their highest encounter rates in senior high schools. Special needs schools had the highest rate for Others. The support most required for all ED types was “a list of medical/consultation institutions.”Conclusions
Our results have clarified how to support Yogo teachers in the early detection and support of ED students. We found that the encounter rate of AN was the highest, and that it is effective to offer “a list of medical/consultation institutions” to junior and senior high schools where the encounter rates for AN are high.8.

Because coastal habitats store large amounts of organic carbon (Corg), the conservation and restoration of these habitats are considered to be important measures for mitigating global climate change. Although future sea‐level rise is predicted to change the characteristics of these habitats, its impact on their rate of Corg sequestration is highly uncertain. Here we used historical depositional records to show that relative sea‐level (RSL) changes regulated Corg accumulation rates in boreal contiguous seagrass–saltmarsh habitats. Age–depth modeling and geological and biogeochemical approaches indicated that Corg accumulation rates varied as a function of changes in depositional environments and habitat relocations. In particular, Corg accumulation rates were enhanced in subtidal seagrass meadows during times of RSL rise, which were caused by postseismic land subsidence and climate change. Our findings identify historical analogs for the future impact of RSL rise driven by global climate change on rates of Corg sequestration in coastal habitats. 相似文献

Proteomic signature of human cancer cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We assessed proteomic profiles as biomarkers for monitoring cell phenotypes. Protein expression profiles were obtained by fluorescence two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2-D-DIGE), in which quantitative ability is improved by labeling proteins with fluorescent dyes prior to electrophoresis. Integrated protein spot intensities were analyzed by a statistical approach. The proteomic data of two groups of cell lines: (1) adenocarcinoma (AC) cell lines derived from lung, pancreas and colon tissues and (2) lung cancer cell lines with different histological backgrounds, including AC, squamous cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma, were assessed on the basis of prior biological information. Hierarchical clustering analysis and principal component analysis were used to divide the cell lines into subgroups on the basis of similarities between their protein expression profiles. The majority of cell lines were grouped according to their organ of origin or histological background. A machine-learning algorithm selected 32 protein spots that were responsible for the classification. The results indicate that proteomic data generated by 2-D-DIGE can provide a signature of essential cell phenotypes, suggesting that it might be possible to apply this technique to developing tumor markers that could identify the organ of origin of metastatic tumors and contribute to the differential diagnosis of lung cancer. 相似文献

Bradykinin (BK) has been reported to be a mediator of brain damage in acute insults. Receptors for BK have been identified on microglia, the pathologic sensors of the brain. Here, we report that BK attenuated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta from microglial cells, thus acting as an anti-inflammatory mediator in the brain. This effect was mimicked by raising intracellular cAMP or stimulating the prostanoid receptors EP2 and EP4, while it was abolished by a cAMP antagonist, a prostanoid receptor antagonist, or by an inhibitor of the inducible cyclooxygenase (cyclooxygenase-2). BK also enhanced formation of prostaglandin E(2) and expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase. Expression of BK receptors and EP2/EP4 receptors were also enhanced. Using physiological techniques, we identified functional BK receptors not only in culture, but also in microglia from acute brain slices. BK reduced LPS-induced neuronal death in neuron-microglia co-cultures. This was probably mediated via microglia as it did not affect TNF-alpha-induced neuronal death in pure neuronal cultures. Our data imply that BK has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system by modulating microglial function. 相似文献
