Differences Between Rats and Rabbits in their Response of Feed and Energy Intake to Increasing Dietary Fat Content

description: It is common practice to use an ad-libitum feeding regimen in rat studies, even when experimental diets with different energy densities are used; a prerequisite is that the diets have identical nutrient:energy ratios. It is assumed that the rats will maintain a constant energy intake so that nutrient intake will not differ between the dietary treatments. The concept that energy requirement determines feed intake is supported by the study with rats that is described in this paper. Increasing the amounts of dietary fat (coconut fat or corn oil), and thus increasing the energy densities of the diets, caused decreasing feed intakes so that energy intakes remained unchanged. However, feeding the same diet recipes to rabbits led to increasing feed intakes, and even further enhanced energy intakes, in response to increasing concentrations of corn oil in the diet. Secondly, when the diet contained coconut fat, an increase in fat content also raised feed intake, but at higher inclusion levels there was no further increase or rather a decrease in feed intake by the rabbits. It is suggested to apply restricted feeding in rabbit studies using diets with different energy densities in order to avoid additional variables such as differences in weight gain and nutrient intake.

description: We theoretically investigate two quantum modes interacting via local couplings to a dissipative field. Our model considers two mechanical modes with distinct frequencies coupled optomechanically to the same cavity mode. The dissipative cavity field mediates the interaction between the mechanical modes but also leads to decoherence of the mechanical oscillators. Depending on the ratio between effective interaction strength and dissipation rate, which can be chosen via the pump detuning, the interaction assumes a quantum mechanical or classical character. For any cavity decay, there is a regime where the two mechanical modes interact in a non-classical way, which leads us to conclude that optomechanical systems can serve as a model to experimentally study the effects of long-range interactions mediated by classical or quantum-mechanical fields.

description: Background: Previous studies have used different methods in an effort to extract the modular organization of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs). However, these approaches are not natural, as they try to cluster highly connected genes into a module or locate known pleiotropic transcription factors in lower hierarchical layers. Here, we unravel the TRN of Escherichia coli by separating it into its key elements, thus revealing its natural organization. We also present a mathematical criterion, based on the topological features of the TRN, to classify the network elements into one of two possible classes: hierarchical or modular genes. Results: We found that modular genes are clustered into physiologically correlated groups validated by a statistical analysis of the enrichment of the functional classes. Hierarchical genes encode transcription factors responsible for coordinating module responses based on general interest signals. Hierarchical elements correlate highly with the previously studied global regulators, suggesting that this could be the first mathematical method to identify global regulators. We identified a new element in TRNs never described before: intermodular genes. These are structural genes that integrate, at the promoter level, signals coming from different modules, and therefore from different physiological responses. Using the concept of pleiotropy, we have reconstructed the hierarchy of the network and discuss the role of feedforward motifs in shaping the hierarchical backbone of the TRN. Conclusions: This study sheds new light on the design principles underpinning the organization of TRNs, showing a novel nonpyramidal architecture composed of independent modules globally governed by hierarchical transcription factors, whose responses are integrated by intermodular genes.

A Simple and Reliable Method of Endotracheal Intubation in Mice: Advantages of Exposing the Trachea

description: Mice are popular models in experimental studies because they can be genetically modified and have a short gestation period. In long-term studies requiring recovery from anesthesia or repeated measurements of pulmonary function, endotracheal intubation is advantageous. However, this is difficult because of the small anatomic structures involved. Various methods have been previously reported, the majority of them calling for expensive devices or techniques which require special training. Therefore, we have created a simple method of endotracheal intubation in mice using a light-emitting diode (LED) light, a metal laryngoscope, a 22-gauge plastic cannula and a stylet made of a 0.3mm piano wire, which can all be easily prepared. Transillumination after exposure of the trachea makes it possible to illuminate the oropharynx with a lowpriced LED light and a metal laryngoscope provides good visualization of the tracheal opening. With direct vision, a 22-gauge plastic cannula can easily be inserted into the trachea. The custom-made stylet is suitably flexible for performing tracheal intubation without tissue injury. In a series of 42 mice, the success rate with the procedure was 97.6% (n=41). Only in one case was it necessary for the procedure to be repeated. There were no airway complications. Though exposure of the trachea is invasive, it does have advantages. We conclude that this method is simple, safe and inexpensive, and could be used by any researchers interested in it, no matter how small their budget.

description: The space-time dimensions transverse to a static straight cosmic string with a sufficiently large tension (supermassive cosmic strings) are compact and typically have a singularity at a finite distance form the core. In this paper, we discuss how the presence of multiple supermassive cosmic strings in the 4D Abelian-Higgs model can induce the spontaneous compactification of the transverse space and explicitly construct solutions where the gravitational background becomes regular everywhere. We discuss the embedding of this model in N=1 supergravity and show that some of these solutions are half-BPS, in the sense that they leave unbroken half of the supersymmetries of the model.

description: Two dimensional few-layer black phosphorus crystal structures have recently fabricated and demonstrated great potential in applications of electronics. In this work, we employed first principles density functional theory calculations to study the edge effects and quantum confinement on the electronic properties of the phosphorene nanoribbons (PNR). Different edge functionalization groups, such as H, F, Cl, OH, O, S, and Se in addition to a pristine case, were studied for a series width of the ribbon up to 3.5 nm. It was found that the armchair-PNRs (APNRs) are semiconductors for all edge groups considered in this work. However, the zigzag-PNRs (ZPNRs) show either semiconductor or metallic behavior in dependence on their edge chemical groups. Family I edges (H, F, Cl, OH) form saturated bonds with P atoms and the edge states keep far away from the band gap. However, Family II edges (pristine, O, S, Se) form weak unsaturated bonds with the pz orbital of P atoms and bring edge states within the band gap. These edge states of Family II ribbons present around the Fermi level within the band gap, which close up the band gap of the ZPNRs. For the APNRs, these edge states are at the bottom of the conduction band and result in a reduced band gap.

description: Unwanted micro-organisms in mice can jeopardize experimental protocols and should be eliminated if a colony becomes infected. The opportunistic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to cause infection in mice. In order to eliminate this bacterium from a specific-pathogen-free full barrier mouse area at our animal facility we treated mice with 7 ppm chlorine for 7 weeks and then with 10 ppm chlorine in the drinking water. The P. aeruginosa status of mice was examined by agar culture and PCR. The results show that 6 months after commencement of the treatment the colony was free of P. aeruginosa.

Technical Report Replacement of Vertebrates by Locust in Student Laboratory Exercises

description: The student laboratory exercises are a very important part in the curriculum of physiology, neurophysiology and biophysics. Knowledge from lectures and books should be supported with some practical experience based on work with live subjects. But this raises a very important question – is the use of animals for teaching purposes acceptable? This is a controversial question for a long time in physiology teaching and has numerous arguments for and against. With respect to efficiency and quality of teaching it is essential. However, is this enough to justify the use of animals? Traditionally laboratory exercises are performed on frogs or rodents. Despites obvious advantages this has serious disadvantages, namely relatively high costs related to animal facility and care of the animals. Applying the 3R‘s principle, we replaced vertebrates by invertebrates and introduced laboratory exercises based on recording of action potentials from wing stretch receptors of the locust (Robertson, 1992). Locusts are cheap to buy (approx. 2 locust for 1 euro) and easy to care for. Preparation of locusts for experiment is very simple. However, in this laboratory exercise students can learn such basic concepts like generation of action potential, natural variability of recorded signals in a live system, adaptation and principles of coding in the nervous system. Apart from this, modification of the experimental setup enabled us to investigate physiological concepts like neural coding in more natural conditions.

description: Because there is no known specific effective therapy for secondary amyloidosis at the present time, the aim of this study was to determine whether antirheumatic drugs inhibit the development of experimental AA amyloidosis, induced in a C57BL/6 mice by injections of casein and fibrin. Monotherapy with sulfasalazine (SSL) and diclofenac (D) and combined treatment with diclofenac and prednisolone (D/P) by using prophylactic and therapeutic treatment protocols were investigated. The drugs were administered through intragastric gavage 5 times a week for 5 or 6 weeks in the following doses: D - 1 mg/kg, P - 10 mg/kg, and SSL - 100 mg/kg. Histopathological examination of splenic, kidney and hepatic tissues of mice was performed. The amount of amyloid was assessed semi-quantitatively by polarizing microscopy after Congo Red staining. Our study indicated that no positive effect from prophylactic treatment with D could be seen on amyloid deposition in investigated organs. Prophylactic combined treatment with D/P resulted in significant improvement of disease symptoms and markedly reduced amyloid deposits in the spleen, kidneys, and liver (P < 0.02-0.001). SSL therapy alone has been more successful in the prophylactic treatment of experimental amyloidosis: the decrease of amyloid deposits was statistically significant in all investigated organs (P < 0.04 – 0.001) and the most suppression of amyloid formation in the kidneys and liver was observed (P < 0.004-0.001). In therapeutic treatment of experimental amyloidosis, combined treatment with D/P showed the most inhibition of amyloid formation in the internal organs (P < 0.006 – 0.001). The highest suppression (by 86.7%; P < 0.001) of amyloid deposits was observed in the liver. Treatment of mice with D alone produced a significant reduction in amyloid deposition only in the liver (P < 0.03) and with SSL – only in the spleen (P < 0.03). These findings suggest that D/P and SSL at relevant doses suppress amyloidogenesis and this suppression is possibly related to the anti-inflammatory effect of antirheumatic drugs. Although these drugs cannot completely inhibit the disease in this model, a possibility remains that they may be clinically useful in rheumatic diseases associated with the formation of amyloidogenic derivatives.

description: The large value of the tensor-to-scalar ratio in the cosmic microwave background radiation reported by the BICEP2 collaboration gives strong impact on models of supersymmetry (SUSY). The large ratio indicates inflation with a high-energy scale and thus a high reheating temperature in general, and various SUSY models suffer from the serious gravitino and Polonyi problems. In this article, we discuss a class of the high-scale SUSY breaking models which are completely free from those problems. With especially focusing on the dark matter relic abundance, we examine how the BICEP2 result narrows down the parameter space of the models, assuming the simplest chaotic inflation model. We find that the mass of the dark matter is predicted to be less than about 1 TeV thanks to the non-thermal production in the early universe through the decay of abundant gravitinos produced after the reheating process. We also discuss implications in some details to dark matter searches at collider and indirect dark matter detection experiments.

description: The effect of high (DOM) and low (SUB) social rank on blood immune variables was examined in female growing pigs. Pigs were mixed with unfamiliar pigs at 9 weeks of age and kept in stable groups of 4 pigs for 5 weeks. Social rank was determined using a feeding competition test. SUB pigs showed reduced growth as compared to DOM pigs confirming their lower social status. Blood was sampled for immunological assessments immediately before grouping the pigs and again after the 5 weeks of social housing. White Blood Cell (WBC) counts, percentage of CD4 positive cells (CD4+), percentage of CD8 positive cells (CD8+), percentage of swine leukocyte antigen II (SLAII) carrying cells, LPS-stimulated Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) expression, and LPS-stimulated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-) responsiveness were determined at both times. IgG and IgM concentrations were measured following the 5 weeks of social housing only. From the WBC counts it was found that the percentage of neutrophils was higher in SUB pigs and the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio was higher in DOM pigs. The percentage of CD4+ cells decreased with time in both DOM and SUB pigs, but only significantly in SUB pigs. The percentage of CD8+ cells was higher in SUB pigs than in DOM pigs and decreased with time in both DOM and SUB pigs. In addition, SUB pigs had a higher ex vivo TNF- responsiveness as compared to DOM pigs. Both the percentage of SLAII carrying cells and LPS-stimulated TLR4 expression increased with time, but here no significant effect of social rank was found. In addition, neither IgG nor IgM concentrations showed any relationship with social rank. The findings indicate that social rank influences the distribution of blood leukocyte subsets in female growing pigs, suggesting that the pig would be a good model for investigating the effects of long-term immunomodulation on health.

A new representation for multivariate tail probabilities

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Existing theory for multivariate extreme values focuses upon characterizations of the distributional tails when all components of a random vector, standardized to identical margins, grow at the same rate. In this paper, we consider the effect of allowing the components to grow at different rates, and characterize the link between these marginal growth rates and the multivariate tail probability decay rate. Our approach leads to a whole class of univariate regular variation conditions, in place of the single but multivariate regular variation conditions that underpin the current theories. These conditions are indexed by a homogeneous function and an angular dependence function, which, for asymptotically independent random vectors, mirror the role played by the exponent measure and Pickands' dependence function in classical multivariate extremes. We additionally offer an inferential approach to joint survivor probability estimation. The key feature of our methodology is that extreme set probabilities can be estimated by extrapolating upon rays emanating from the origin when the margins of the variables are exponential. This offers an appreciable improvement over existing techniques where extrapolation in exponential margins is upon lines parallel to the diagonal.

description: Bacteria prime the immune system in early life, which in the first place is relevant for the development of oral tolerance. For some disease models, such as those for inflammatory bowel disease, germ free status for an entire life span, leads to the absence of prominent disease symptoms, while for other models, such as the Type 1 diabetes-prone NOD mouse, germ free status in early life would increase the incidence to a maximum. Basically both reactions are dependent on how the immune system has been primed in early life, i.e. with which bacteria and at which age. After early life priming, the gut regulatory immunity seems to be stable and less prone to be influenced by the gut flora. However, disease development later in life will still be dependent on contact with microorganisms to induce the inflammatory response. The aim of this review is to analyze whether it is reasonable to assume that variation in animal models, and thereby reduced groups size in experiments, may be achieved if animals are reared germ free with subsequent inoculation of a standardized gut flora at a standard age.

description: The paper is devoted to group analysis of the spatially homogeneous and isotropic Boltzmann equation with a source term. In fact, the Fourier transform of the Boltzmann equation with respect to the molecular velocity variable is considered. Using a particular class of solutions, the determining equation for the admitted Lie group is reduced to a partial differential equation for the source function. The latter equation is analyzed by an algebraic method. A complete group classification of the Fourier transform of the Boltzmann equation is given. All invariant solutions of this equation are also presented in the paper.

description: Opening a sizable band gap in the zero-gap germanene without heavy loss of carrier mobility is a key issue for its application in nanoelectronic devices such as high-performance field effect transistors (FETs) operating at room temperature. Using the first-principles calculations, we find a band gap is opened at the Dirac point in germanene by single-side adsorption of alkali metal (AM) atoms. This band gap is tunable by varying the coverage and the species of AM atoms, ranging from 0.02 to 0.31 eV, and the maximum global band gap is 0.26 eV. Since the effective masses of electrons and holes in germanene near the Dirac point after surface adsorption (ranging from 0.005 to 0.106 me) are small, the carrier mobility is expected not to degrade much. Therefore germanene is a potential candidate of effective FET channel operating at room temperature upon surface adsorption.

description: This study focused on the localization and expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and different isoforms of transforming growth factor s (TGF-s1, TGF-s2 and TGF-s3) in the initial and early stages of heterotopic ossification (HO) employing an animal model mimicking the situation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Bone growth was induced in rats using s-tricalcium phosphate implants immersed either in osteoinductive rhBMP-2 solution or in saline and implanted at the site where the HO is usually expected to develop after THA. Implants were removed at 3 or 21 days after the operation and handled according to stereology principles. mRNA expression and protein staining of growth factors in different types of tissues was determined by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively. After three days, TGF-s3 content in the undifferentiated mesenchymal-like cells in the rhBMP-2 treated implants was, as assessed by immunohistochemistry, 49.6% higher compared to the saline treated group (p=0.024). This was also supported by in situ hybridization of mRNA of TGF-s3, which showed stronger expression in rhBMP-2 treated group. Immunohistochemical investigation showed that after 21 days the connective tissue in the rhBMP-2 treated implants contained more TGF-s1, TGF-s2 and TGF-s3, compared to BMP-2 and osteoblasts contained significantly (27.2%) more TGF-s3 compared to TGF-s1 (p=0.045). In the formed HO the proportion of the TGF-s2 and TGF-s3 producing bone tissue was increased by 32.1% and 47.8% respectively, compared to the TGF-s1 producing bone tissue (p=0.007 and p=0.006) and although this difference was not so clear at mRNA level, this suggests that TGF-s2 and TGF-s3 signaling seem to play an important role during initial and early stages of HO formation.

description: The kinetics and penetration of cefepime into inflammatory tissue cage fluid were determined in rabbits. Ten adult healthy rabbits were used. Concentrations of cefepime were measured in serum and induced inflammatory exudate by biological methods. The kinetic analysis was performed by mean of a non-compartmental model. Pharmacokinetic results in serum (S) and inflammatory tissue cage fluid (ITCF) (means ± standard error) were: half life of elimination [t1\2 (S) ]= 1.6 ± 0.2 and (ITCF) 3.7 ± 0.3 h; area under the curve [AUC (S)]= 225.3 ± 21.4 and (ITCF) 208.0 ± 13.6 (μg/ml/h]; maximum concentration [Cmax (ITCF)]= 37.7 ± 3.6 μg/ml and time to reach Cmax [tmax (ITCF)]= 1.8 ± 0.4 h and the penetration into inflammatory tissue cage fluid [P (ITCF)] = 92.3 ± 8.7 %. In conclusion, the cefepime administered to rabbits penetrate rapidly and nearly completely into inflammatory tissue cage fluid.

Turbulence-Driven Coronal Heating and Improvements to Empirical Forecasting of the Solar Wind

description: Forecasting models of the solar wind often rely on simple parameterizations of the magnetic field that ignore the effects of the full magnetic field geometry. In this paper, we present the results of two solar wind prediction models that consider the full magnetic field profile and include the effects of Alfvén waves on coronal heating and wind acceleration. The one-dimensional MHD code ZEPHYR self-consistently finds solar wind solutions without the need for empirical heating functions. Another 1D code, introduced in this paper (The Efficient Modified-Parker-Equation-Solving Tool, TEMPEST), can act as a smaller, stand-alone code for use in forecasting pipelines. TEMPEST is written in Python and will become a publicly available library of functions that is easy to adapt and expand. We discuss important relations between the magnetic field profile and properties of the solar wind that can be used to independently validate prediction models. ZEPHYR provides the foundation and calibration for TEMPEST, and ultimately we will use these models to predict observations and explain space weather created by the bulk solar wind. We are able to reproduce with both models the general anticorrelation seen in comparisons of observed wind speed at 1 AU and the flux tube expansion factor. There is significantly less spread than comparing the results of the two models than between ZEPHYR and a traditional flux tube expansion relation. We suggest that the new code, TEMPEST, will become a valuable tool in the forecasting of space weather.

description: In experiments and processes requiring the application of nuclear tracers in large animals, statutory provisions and safety standards as well as a variety of techniques have to be regarded and employed. In order to sufficiently analyze questions pertaining to osseointegration as well as the possibility of ectopic bone formation in Göttingen minipigs, we decided to use scintigraphic examinations using 99mTc-HDP (Technetium - hydroxymethane diphosphonate). In this study, metallic implants coated in different forms with rhBMP-2 (recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2) were surgically introduced into the pigs’ femora. A total of 26 adult female minipigs (Ellegard, Dalmose, Denmark) averaging 40 months in age were post-surgically evaluated through the application of a radionuclide and its subsequent distribution using a scintillation camera. Each animal received approximately 10 MBq/kg BW (mega Becquerel per kilogram bodyweight). This paper describes the procedures of anaesthesia, the quite challenging transvaginal- urethral catheterization, the application of a catheter in the jugular vein, the radionuclide injection and the disposal of the sacrificed animals under statutory provisions and safety standards. The technical report reveals that the scintigraphic evaluation in large animal experiments is a practicable – yet sophisticated – method of examination and also strives to encourage further research groups to implement this elegant procedure.

description: Mucoperiosteal flap surgery (MPS) of the mouth is conducted in several clinical situations. However, MPS triggers a resorption process that leads to alveolar bone ridge loss. Rodents are routinely used in studies evaluating alveolar bone loss (ABL), and the experimental time involved in these experiments is usually 21 days. This study aims at establishing whether the alveolar bone resorption area differs between 10 and 21 days after MPS in mice mandibles. MPS was performed in the vestibular aspect of the left mandible (LM) of 20 male CF1 mice Mus domesticus. The right mandible (RM) was used as control. Animals formed identical groups for each experimental time. Animals were euthanized 10 days (ten days group, TG) or 21 days (twenty one days group, TWG) after the surgical procedure. All mandibles were hemisectioned, cleaned and stained for stereomicroscopic inspection. Digital images were obtained and the alveolar bone loss area measured (mm2) using image analysis software. The results demonstrate that a significant loss is observed in the left mandible (LM) (Student’s t test, p<0.01), as compared to the RM, in both groups. No statistically significant difference was observed in the ABL area (p>0.05) between TWG and TG. This investigation leads to the conclusion that it is possible to reduce experimental times when using the MPS model in mice.

description: To develop a new prototype fiducial marker (LS-1) that may be used for gated radiotherapy in the lung. One LS-1 marker was inserted in the lung of each animal under sedation. Animals were kept under observation for four weeks after insertion. After the observation period the marker was removed. Animals were CT scanned after insertion and before removal of the LS-1 marker. After the last CT scan animals were euthanized and lungs excised for pathology. The LS-1 marker was successfully inserted in all fourteen animals. Thirteen of fourteen LS-1 marker’s were in situ after four weeks. Two cases of pneumothorax were seen in connection with insertion. The LS-1 marker could only be successfully removed from eleven of thirteen animals. Damage to the lung was mainly local close to the LS-1 marker insertion site. The LS-1 marker has the potential to be a fiducial marker suitable for gated external beam radiotherapy in the lung. The method still needs some refinement prior to application in humans.

description: Cerebellum is part of the brain that occupies only 10% of the brain volume, but it contains about 80% of total number of brain neurons. New cerebellar function model is developed that sets cerebellar circuits in context of multibody dynamics model computations, as important step in controlling balance and movement coordination, functions performed by two oldest parts of the cerebellum. Model gives new functional interpretation for granule cells-Golgi cell circuit, including distinct function for upper and lower Golgi cell dendritc trees, and resolves issue of sharing Granule cells between Purkinje cells. Sets new function for basket cells, and for stellate cells according to position in molecular layer. New model enables easily and direct integration of sensory information from vestibular system and cutaneous mechanoreceptors, for balance, movement and interaction with environments. Model gives explanation of Purkinje cells convergence on deep-cerebellar nuclei.
