RESUMO

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of restricting total mixed ration (TMR) eating time with or without supplemental long hay offered on diurnal total intake, rumination, and rumen pH patterns in mid-lactation dairy cows. Eight multiparous Holstein cows were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design study with 21-d periods. The basal diet was the same for all 4 treatments with or without additional long grass hay (the same hay used in the TMR). For cows on limited-time TMR, diets were taken away at 1500 h (5 h before evening milking and feeding), and dry matter intake (DMI), ruminating, and rumen pH were monitored and summarized every 10 m for 7 d in each period. With restricted feeding, cows changed DMI patterns by consuming a large meal after feed was reinstated, resulting in lower DMI. Ruminating patterns closely mirrored intake patterns, as could be expected. Rumen pH was not different between groups but resulted in different diurnal patterns due to differences in eating and rumination patterns between the groups. Limiting feed availability can be used to change eating and rumination patterns, resulting in different rumen pH patterns.

RESUMO

Wet sieving of manure can be used as a means of evaluating the nutrient utilization of diets by dairy cows. A commercially available system for this analysis (Nasco Digestion Analyzer, Nasco, Fort Atkinson, WI; NDA) employs principles of wet sieving for on-farm assessment. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of diet manipulations and sampling techniques on fecal particle dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and starch distribution on NDA sieves. Eight Holstein heifers (means ± SD; age 18.4 ± 0.6 mo and BW 457.2 ± 27.3 kg), were randomly assigned to a split-plot 4 × 3 incomplete Latin square experimental design with 18-d periods (15 d of adaptation and 3 d of sampling). Treatment rations differed in forage quality (high ADF <35%, low ADF >35%) and fiber content (high NDF >45%, low NDF <40%) and were offered to heifers for ad libitum and restricted intakes. Diets were fed to allow 900 to 1,000 g/d of body weight gain and fed once daily. Fecal grab samples were collected 0, 6, 12, and 18 h after feeding all 3 d of the sampling period, and the remaining feces was collected in the manner of total fecal collection to represent a daily composite sample. After wet sieving of each sample using a NDA kit, the retained material on sieves was dried and analyzed for DM, NDF, and starch content. Sampling day and feeding regimen did not affect distributions of nutrients. Distributions of total fecal particle DM were greater for high forage quality and high fiber content diets (14.66 to 20.37% of sample DM). The NDF content in retained material decreased with decreasing sieve size (from 89.81 to 86.86%) and was not affected by forage quality and fiber content, whereas NDF retained on NDA (% DM) followed the same pattern as the retained particle DM weight. Starch content in retained material was below 0.5% in the majority of diets. Average retained fecal particle DM and NDF content varied depending on the time after feeding, resulting in the large differences between grab fecal samples and a daily total composite sample. However, average values of retained particle DM and NDF weight for all sampling time points were similar to ones from total daily composite sample.

RESUMO

The estimation of Holstein heifer body weight (BW) from heart girth measurements is needed, as many farms do not have animal scales to make the management decisions that require BW. The correlation between heart girth and BW is known to vary with differing animal conformation. The previous equation to correlate the 2 measures for Holstein dairy heifers was done 25 yr ago. Data were derived from 6 US experiment stations that are part of Regional Research Project NC-2042: Management Systems to Improve the Economic and Environmental Sustainability of Dairy Enterprises. After deriving a new equation from a data set of observations and using a second validation data set, it was determined that the equation developed in 1992 was still valid and further equation development was not needed at this time.

RESUMO

The GHEP-ISFG Working Group performed a collaborative exercise to monitor the current practice of mitochondrial (mt)DNA reporting. The participating laboratories were invited to evaluate a hypothetical case example and assess the statistical significance of a match between the haplotypes of a case (hair) sample and a suspect. A total of 31 forensic laboratories participated of which all but one used the EMPOP database. Nevertheless, we observed a tenfold range of reported LR values (32-333.4), which was mainly due to the selection of different reference datasets in EMPOP but also due to different applied formulae. The results suggest the need for more standardization as well as additional research to harmonize the reporting of mtDNA evidence.

RESUMO

This prospective study was designed to investigate possible carryover effects of calf management practices and how events occurring during the first 16 wk of life affect first-lactation and lifetime milk production as well as age when animals are removed from production. This is the final of 3 stages in a longitudinal study that encompassed 10 yr of data collection. First, management and nutritional data were collected in the first 16 wk of life. The second part of this study evaluated conditions of animals at the time of first calving as affected by calf management, nutrition, and health. Both of these studies have been previously reported. This third portion covers the same calf effects on lactation performance and age at culling. Observations for the current study were collected from on-farm and Dairy Herd Improvement records. The multiple imputation technique was used in this analysis to avoid bias due to missing data. This study concluded that delivery score, weaning dry matter intake, days of illness before 4 mo, days treated before 4 mo, and body weight at first calving all had significant effects on first-lactation production of Holsteins. Delivery score and grain intake at a young age affected lifetime production. Age at culling was only affected by early grain intake in this study.

RESUMO

We report the results of the seventh edition of the GEP-ISFG mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) collaborative exercise. The samples submitted to the participant laboratories were blood stains from a maternity case and simulated forensic samples, including a case of mixture. The success rate for the blood stains was moderate ( approximately 77%); even though four inexperienced laboratories concentrated about one-third of the total errors. A similar success was obtained for the analysis of mixed samples (78.8% for a hair-saliva mixture and 69.2% for a saliva-saliva mixture). Two laboratories also dissected the haplotypes contributing to the saliva-saliva mixture. Most of the errors were due to reading problems and misinterpretation of electropherograms, demonstrating once more that the lack of a solid devised experimental approach is the main cause of error in mtDNA testing.

RESUMO

Data were collected prospectively on parameters related to first calving on 18 farms located in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This project was designed to study possible residual effects of calf management practices and events occurring during the first 16 wk of life on age, BW, skeletal growth, and body condition score at first calving. Multiple imputation method for handling missing data was incorporated in these analyses. This method has the advantage over ad hoc single imputations because the appropriate error structure is maintained. Much similarity was found between the multiple imputation method and a traditional mixed model analysis, except that some estimates from the multiple imputation method seemed more logical in their effects on the parameter measured. Factors related to increased age at first calving were increased difficulty of delivery, antibiotic treatment of sick calves, increased amount of milk or milk replacer fed before weaning, reduced quality of forage fed to weaned calves, maximum humidity, mean daily temperature, and maximum ammonia levels in calf housing areas. Body weight at calving tended to increase with parity of the dam, increased amount of grain fed to calves, increased ammonia levels, and increased mean temperature of the calf housing area. Body condition score at calving tended to be positively influenced by delivery score at first calving, dam parity, and milk or milk replacer dry matter intake. Withers height at calving was positively affected by treatment of animals with antibiotics and increased mean temperature in the calf area. This study demonstrated that nutrition, housing, and management factors that affect health and growth of calves have long-term effects on the animal at least through first calving.

RESUMO

Seventy-two Holstein calves were used to study the effect of feeding antibiotics or mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) in milk replacer. Calves were fed a 20% protein, 20% fat milk replacer containing antibiotics (400 g/ton neomycin + 200 g/ton oxytetracycline), MOS (4 g of Bio-Mos/d), or no additive (control) for 5 wk. Milk replacer was reconstituted to 12.5% dry matter and fed at 12% of birth weight during wk 1 and 14% of birth weight in wk 2 to 5. Fecal scores were monitored 3 times per week; body weight, heart girth, withers height, hip height, and hip width were measured at birth and weekly to 6 wk of age. Addition of MOS or antibiotics increased the probability of normal scores for fecal fluidity, scours severity, and fecal consistency as compared to control calves during the course of the study. Consumption of calf starter increased at a faster rate in calves fed MOS, and these calves consumed more calf starter after weaning (wk 6), than those fed antibiotic. No treatment differences in growth measures, total blood protein, or blood urea nitrogen were detected during the trial. Addition of MOS or antibiotics to milk replacer improved fecal scores in calves. Feed intake was improved in MOS-fed calves compared to antibiotic-fed calves, but this difference did not result in growth differences during the experimental period. The results suggest that antibiotics in milk replacers can be replaced with compounds such as mannan oligosaccharides to obtain similar calf performance.

RESUMO

In 1999, Spain was the first country to officially start a National Program to try to identify cadavers and human remains which could not be identified by the use of traditional forensic approaches. This attempt is called "Phoenix Program". Two independent mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) databases were generated, which can automatically compare and match identical or similar sequences. One is the Reference Database, with mtDNA sequences from maternal relatives of missing persons, who provide the samples (buccal swabs) voluntarily; the other is the Questioned Database, comprised of mtDNA data of unknown remains and cadavers. Although the first phase of the program (typing of all unidentified human remains) will probably not be completed until December 2003, positive identifications are being made in the interim. To date, more than 1,200 families have contacted Phoenix, and at least 280 reference samples and 48 questioned evidences have been analyzed. When mtDNA matches are found, another independent analysis is performed as a part of the quality control mechanism. Once a match is confirmed (so far in 6 cases), an attempt is made to analyze short tandem repeat (STR) loci. We call for international collaboration to make this effort valuable worldwide.

RESUMO

An anthropomorphic test device (ATD) which accurately models the kinematic and kinetic responses of human subjects during head restraint contact in low-speed rear-end collisions is needed to evaluate present and future seat and vehicle designs. The primary goal of this study was to quantify the biofidelity of a new rear-impact ATD, the RID2a, by comparing its dynamic response to those of human subjects under identical test conditions. For this study, a RID2a and a Hybrid III ATD were each exposed to 10 low-speed rear-end collisions: five at a speed change of 4 km/h and five at a speed change of 8 km/h. Sagittal plane kinematics of the head and upper torso, head restraint contact forces, and the reaction loads and moment at the atlanto-occipital joint were determined and compared to the response of eleven male human subjects. Both ATDs produced repeatable response corridors. As observed by others, the Hybrid III did not replicate many features of the human response. Aside from the vertical response of the head and T1 in the global reference frame, the kinematic and kinetic responses of the RID2a reproduced most features of the human response. Head restraint forces observed in both the human subjects and the RID2a contained large vertical components that placed the neck in tension during head restraint contact. The results of this study indicated that the RID2a was able to model the overall kinematic and kinetic responses relevant to some recently-proposed mechanisms of whiplash injury.

RESUMO

Fractal analysis has been applied to characterize the structure of Pd-Ag/SiO(2) catalysts dried under vacuum (150 degrees C and 12 hPa) with different concentrations of Pd-Ag. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption, mercury porosimetry, and small-angle X-ray scattering measurements have been used. The different approaches to fractal analysis and their conditions of applicability are briefly described. Results are discussed in relation to those derived previously from classical interpretations. This analysis shows that Pd-Ag/SiO(2) xerogels exhibit a very open self-similar pore structure analogous to the structure of supercritically dried aerogels and that the micropore texture can be tailored by varying the silver content.

RESUMO

Prior two-way analyses of variance showed that the peak kinematic response of the head and neck of subjects exposed to low-speed rear-end collisions was related to speed change and gender, however potential reasons for this gender dependence were not determined. Using multiple linear regression, this study further examined these response data to determine the relative influence of specific factors, including subject anthropometry, neck strength, cervical range of motion, seated posture and head restraint position, which may have been responsible for the previously-observed gender dependence. The results of this analysis showed that vehicle speed change and relative head restraint position explained the largest proportion of the observed variation in peak occupant kinematic response. Seated posture measures also explained some of the variation in kinematic response. The current analysis prioritizes which variables to explore more thoroughly in future research and which variables should be carefully controlled in future studies.

RESUMO

We evaluated the role of high-dose granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in vitro, in inducing the generation of high-proliferative potential colony forming cells (HPP-CFC), from either mononuclear cells or purified CD34+ cells. Both normal controls and patients undergoing peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) mobilization and transplantation were studied. In serum-driven agar cultures, G-CSF stimulated the proliferation of HPP-CFC in a dose dependent manner (r = 0.92). The number of HPP-CFC was four-fold greater in mobilized patients than in normal controls. Purified CD34+ cells yielded 11-fold more colonies than mononuclear cells. HPP-CFC from mobilized patients showed replating capacity, giving rise to secondary colonies of more mature appearance. In serum-free cultures, the effect of G-CSF appeared to be mediated by synergistic interaction with stem cell factor. Our results suggest that G-CSF stimulates primitive hematopoietic cells that are detectable in increased amounts in patients receiving mobilization therapy. Therefore, determination of G-CSF induced HPP-CFC could be a useful tool in the evaluation of mobilization strategies.

RESUMO

Low pH and hypoxia are a common feature of many solid tumours. This study examined the effect of these two conditions on the cytotoxic properties of the bifunctional agent RB 6145, the prodrug of RSU 1069. The effect of acidic pH on RB 6145 toxicity was examined in six human tumour cell lines under hypoxic conditions and was found to have little effect in HT 29, A549, U373 and HT 144 cells. Treatment was for 1 h at 37 degrees C, pH 6.4 or 7.4. Significant potentiation of RB 6145 toxicity was observed in SiHa cells (enhancement ratio; ERpH approximately 1.6) and in U1 cells (ERpH approximately 1.4). In these two cell lines the potentiation of RB 6145 toxicity arising from hypoxia was large, with ERHyp approximately 11 and 15 in SiHa and U1 cells respectively. SiHa cells, which show a pH effect and HT 29 cells, which do not, were chosen for further comparative studies of drug uptake )nd regulation of intracellular pH. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determinations of the uptake of RB 6145 and its dervatives showed that in SiHa cells, intracellular to extracellular drug concentration ratio (Ci/Ce) at 1 h was approximately 40% higher at pH 6.4 than at pH 7.4, whereas in HT 29 cells Ci/Ce was approximately 25% lower. Under conditions of acidic extracellular pH, regulation of pH was somewhat less effective in SiHa cells, where pHi dropped to within 0.2 pH units of the extracellular pH over a 2.5 h treatment at pH 6.4. It seems likely that increased drug uptake was at least part of the basis for the observed potentiation of RB 6145 toxicity in SiHa cells. A model which would better explain the results for both cell lines might also include the possibility that low pH per se potentiates cytotoxic damage to a modest extent and that it is offset or augmented by altered uptake in HT 29 and SiHa cells respectively.

RESUMO

The electron microscopic analysis of intracisternal inclusions in lymphocytes of the bone marrow and peripheral blood in a case of juvenile chronic lymphocytic leukemia is described. These inclusions consist of well-ordered microtubules attached to a central axis. The contribution of electron microscopic analysis in establishing the substructural pattern of these inclusions is discussed.

RESUMO

The need for manganese for normal skeletal development appears to be related to its role in proteoglycan biosynthesis. The purpose of this research was to characterize the proteoglycans synthesized under conditions of manganese deficiency. The proteoglycans were extracted from epiphyseal growth plate cartilage and the monomers separated by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation followed by column chromatography. The proteoglycan monomers from normal cartilage contained primarily (92%) chondroitin sulfate side chains with keratan sulfate being a minor (8%) component. Manganese deficiency reduced the total amount of cartilage proteoglycans. Of the monomers present in deficient cartilage, the majority (75%) were similar to those found in normal cartilage. Cartilage from deficient chicks also contained a second monomer fraction (25%) characterized by a reduced carbohydrate content. Thus, in addition to a reduction in total proteoglycan content, manganese deficiency results in qualitative changes in the proteoglycans present in epiphyseal growth plate cartilage.

RESUMO

The pseudo-Chédiak-Higashi anomaly is characterized by the presence of giant granules in the cytoplasm of blast cells in acute leukemia. We report here a new case of acute myelogenous leukemia (M2 type) with this alteration. The granules were azurophilic or eosinophilic and reacted strongly to peroxidase stain. Ultrastructural studies showed that the granules contained a dense matrix and occasionally "finger print" structures at the periphery; in some inclusions, fibrillar structures of myelinic figures could be seen. The matrix was reactive to peroxidase and small vesicles were prominent in the cytoplasm near the granules. We conclude that the giant granules could have been formed by the fusion of primary granules and/or by the fusion of these small dense vesicles.

RESUMO

Pure red cell aplasia is manifested by unregenerative anemia with intense erythroid hypoplasia in the bone marrow and absolute reticulocytopenia. Its association with chronic myeloproliferative syndrome (CMS) is infrequent. The appearance of both processes may or may not be simultaneous and accidental association cannot be ruled out. Two cases of pure red cell aplasia were studied; one associated to Philadelphia positive chronic chromosome myeloid leukemia and the other associated to atypical CMS. In the first case no response was obtained with prednisone alone or associated to cyclophosphamide. In the second patient treatment with danazol was not efficient, however, corticotherapy produced a positive and maintained response. Treatment of pure red cell aplasia associated to CMS must be the same as that employed when this disease is presented as isolated or associated to other processes.

RESUMO

An experiment with a factorial arrangement of treatments was conducted using five levels of dietary calcium and two levels of zeolite A. When dietary calcium was deficient or marginal, zeolite A improved calcium utilization, as evidenced by improved growth rate and a reduction in rachitic lesions. There was little benefit from adding zeolite A to diets adequate in calcium. The effect of zeolite A on the incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia was inconsistent.
