In this study, hypochlorous acid solution, a weak acid, provided as drinking water to
rats, was evaluated for its ability to eradicate and prevent Pseudomonas
aeruginosa infection, while monitoring its simultaneous effect on serum
biochemical variables and microbiota in the rat cecum. The results suggest that the
solution could not eliminate the bacteria in the experimentally infected rats; however,
the administration of a 10-parts-per-million (ppm) hypochlorous acid solution as drinking
water was effective in inhibiting horizontal spread of P. aeruginosa
infection among cage mates. Additionally, exposure to hypochlorous solution did not have
any effect on serum biochemical variables of the rat including levels of total
cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline
phosphatase (ALP), albumin, total bilirubin, lipase, amylase, urea nitrogen, total
protein, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), chlorine (Cl), except for potassium
(K) levels. The most frequently isolated bacteria in the rat cecum included species
belonging to Bacteroidales, Lactobacillus,
Clostridiales, Erysipelotrichaceae,
Akkermansia, Coriobacteriales, and
Firmicutes. The ratio of the terminal restriction fragment length
polymorphism (T-RFLP) peaks did not differ across rats administered with 5 and 10 ppm weak
acid solution as compared to the control group for any of the bacteria, except for
Erysipelotrichaceae and Firmicutes, where the ratio of
T-RFLP peaks was higher in the 5 ppm group for Erysipelotrichaceae and in
the 10 ppm group for Firmicutes than that in the control group
(P<0.01). The results suggest that the weak acid hypochlorous
solution could not eradicate P. aeruginosa completely from rats. The
solution was effective in preventing infection without affecting serum biochemical
variables; however, some of bacterial microbiota may have changed due to administration of
the solution. 相似文献

The autoxidation of dopa to melanin in culture media causes toxicity to retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and endothelial cells. The damage is specific to cell type and to the ambient oxygen concentration. To determine whether RPE cells influence the oxidation of dopa to media, we compared light absorbing dopa derivatives in the media exposed to cells with those found in the media incubated without cells. Dopa was extensively oxidized in the presence of RPE cells, and more light absorbing substances were generated with higher dopa and oxygen concentrations. However, an increase in ambient oxygen concentration decreased the quantity of several dopa derivatives which had been formed. The data provided evidence that RPE modulated dopa metabolism. Quinolic derivatives produced from a tyrosinase reaction and dopa-melanin formation moved the peak absorbance wavelength of dopa into the visible range. The spectrum between the dopa-derived compounds in the media has an absorbance at 240–275 nm and a maximum around 300 nm wth a shoulder near 375 nm. Gaussian analysis (peak separation) resolved these spectra into five components: a sharp band at 248 nm, a band at 295 nm, a large band at 359 nm, and two broad bands at 459 and 585 nm. 相似文献

The relationship between leaf anatomy, ultrastructure and carbondiscrimination was investigated in leaves of two F1hybrids (F1-1and F1-2) between two different types of the grassPanicum [anNAD-malic enzyme (ME) C4species], which differ in bundle sheathultrastructure. The female parent was Kabulabula grass, whichhas centrifugal chloroplasts in bundle sheath cells and is designatedan NAD-ME(F) species, while the male parent was Makarikari grass,which has centripetal chloroplasts in the bundle sheath cellsand is designated an NAD-ME(P) species. Suberin lamellae arepresent in Kabulabula grass but are lacking in Makarikari grass.Both F1hybrids had the same chromosome number (2n =36) as theparents but exhibited both univalent (about 45%) and bivalent(about 55%) chromosome pairing which was the major basis forthe identification of F1hybrids. In F1-1, elongated bundle sheathcell chloroplasts are arranged mainly in a centripetal position,similar to those in the male parent, Makarikari grass. In contrast,most of the bundle sheath cells in F1-2 are packed with starch-containingchloroplasts, although in some cells chloroplasts tended tobe centripetally arranged. In both F1hybrids, suberin lamellaewere found in the bundle sheath cell walls, similar to the femaleparent, Kabulabula grass. The 13C values of both F1hybrids were-11.4 to -11.7, almost the same as those of Kabulabula grass(-11.4), but significantly higher than those of Makarikari grass(-12.7). These results indicate that the chloroplast orientationin the bundle sheath cells and the presence of suberin lamellaeare not obligatorily linked in their expression and suggestthat suberin lamellae may play an important role in discriminationagainst13C.

In order to clarify the occurrence of the C4 syndrome in Eleocharis,a group of bladeless sedges inhabiting wet and aquatic environments,the anatomical characteristics and carbon isotope ratios ofculms were investigated in 118 species. Among these, only sixspecies of the series Tenuissimae showed the Kranz type of anatomyand 相似文献

The amphibious leafless sedge, Eleocharis baldwinii, expresses C4 characteristics in the terrestrial form and intermediate characteristics between C3 and C4 photosynthesis in the submerged form. This study examined the immunocytochemical localization of C3 and C4 enzymes in culms of the two forms to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of photosynthetic metabolism and compared the activities and amounts of C3 and C4 enzymes with those in other Eleocharis species, E. vivipara and E. retroflexa, which show C4 characteristics on land but C3 and C4 characteristics under water. The terrestrial form of E. baldwinii exhibited a C4‐like pattern of enzyme localization. The submerged form exhibited a modified anatomy with well‐developed mesophyll cells and small Kranz cells. The C4 enzyme levels declined conspicuously in outer mesophyll cells adjacent to the epidermis, whereas Rubisco levels increased throughout the mesophyll in the submerged form. These results suggest that intermediate photosynthesis between C3 and C4 photosynthesis in the submerged form results from the predominant operation of the C3 pathway in the outer mesophyll cells and the C4 pathway in both the inner mesophyll and Kranz cells. Differences in the degree of C4 expression in terrestrial forms of Eleocharis species may cause the differences in the expression of photosynthetic modes under water. 相似文献

Abstract: Wildlife managers often manipulate hunting regulations to control deer populations. However, few empirical studies have examined the level of hunting effort (hunter-days) required to limit population growth and demographic effects through harvesting of females. Moreover, the relative importance of density effects on population growth has not been quantified. We reconstructed a sika deer [Cervus nippon] population over a period of 12 years (1990–2001) using age- and sex-specific harvest data. Using cohort analysis, we analyzed population dynamics, focusing on 1) the relationship between hunting effort and hunting-induced mortality rate, 2) relative contributions of hunting mortality and recruitment of yearlings to annual changes in population growth rate, and 3) annual variation in recruitment rate. Population size increased until 1998 and declined thereafter. The population growth rate changed more in response to annual changes in recruitment rate than hunting mortality rate. Temporal variation in recruitment rate was not controlled by birth rate alone; direct density dependence, intensities of hunting mortality for fawns, and for females (≥2 yr of age), which accounted for the fawn survival rate, were required as factors to explain temporal variation. Density effects on the recruitment rate were not strong enough to regulate the population within the study period; high hunting mortality, with intensive female harvesting, was necessary to prevent population growth. Hunting effort was a good predictor of the hunting mortality rate, and female harvest had a negative effect on the recruitment rate through fawn survival. We suggest that >3,500 hunter-days and prioritization of female harvesting are required to prevent increases in this deer population. 相似文献
