The frequency and distribution of lymphoma caused by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection in various organs were investigated. Lymphoma samples were obtained from slaughtered cattle or from cattle submitted to the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service, Korea. Thirty female Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle aged over three years with the BLV-associated lymphoma were studied. None of the Korean native cattle (Hanwoo) had lymphoma in this study however. Lymphoma tissues were gray to pink in color, soft in consistency, and bulged from the cut surface. In advanced lymphoma tissues, there was great variety in the appearance of involved structures due to hemorrhage, necrosis, and/or calcification. Neoplastic tissues were observed in lymph nodes in all lymphoma cases. Intestine (96.4%), heart (88.9%), stomach (73.1%), and diaphragm (62.5%) were frequently involved with lymphoma. However, there was no lymphoma detected in liver. Large neoplastic masses, sometimes reaching the size of over 20 cm, were found in the abdominal cavities. It is suggested that metastasis of lymphomas occurs mainly via lymph based on gross observations; neoplasia may have been initiated in the serosal surface of the lung, heart, peritoneum, and numerous hollow organs in the abdominal cavity. Also many organs in the abdominal and thoracic cavity were affected by neoplastic tissues simultaneously. Characteristics observed in this study could be used as criteria to differentiate BLV-associated lymphoma from other nodular lesions in the slaughterhouse and as fundamental data to make clear the mechanism of metastasis or pathogenesis of EBL.
This study was carried out to investigate the applicability of the detection of central nervous system tissues (CNST) in beef by-products in retail market. Beef by-products including large intestine, brain, spinal cord, liver, lung, spleen and heart were purchased and tested for the presence of CNST using an ELISA method. The ELISA test was evaluated and showed a high correlation coefficient by a standard curve (R value = 0.999). Based on the analytical instruction, the positive indication of the CNST contamination of brain and spinal cord was detected above 0.1% but large intestine, liver, lung, spleen, and heart was negative. Result suggests that the ELISA method is applicable to a real meat system and may provide a method to ensure confidence for consumer against bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE).
A low level exposure experiment was conducted on growing rats to investigate the accumulation and organ distribution of protein bound cadmium compared with cadmium chloride. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed for 21days with one of the semisynthetic diets, which contains cadmium as either bovine liver- or kidney meal bound cadmium, cadmium chloride with uncontaminated liver meal or cadmium chloride without organ meal, in the levels of ca. 0.5, 1 and 1.5mg/kg diet, respectively. After 21days of exposure cadmium was accumulated in liver, kidney and gastrointestinal tracts depending upon cadmium levels in diet. Inspite of very low cadmium accumulation in whole blood, it tends also to increase with dietary cadmium levels. The blood cadmium concentration of animals fed organ meal containing diets was about 4-7 fold higher than that without organ meal, regardless of cadmium was intrinsically bound to protein or not. However, significant effects of organ protein on cadmium accumulation in liver, kidney and digestive tracts were not detectable, when cadmium was supplemented as cadmium chloride. On the other hands, animals fed diet containing ca. 1.5mg Cd/kg as organ bound cadmium retained more cadmium in liver, kidney and digestive tracts compared to cadmium chloride with organ meal, whereby the increase of cadmium concentration in kidney was greater then in liver. However, when the concentration of protein bound cadmium was<1mg/kg diet, organ bound cadmium was not significantly different from cadmium chloride in bioavailability and organ distribution. From this result it is suggested that the intestinal absorption of protein bound cadmium is influenced of the amount of cadmium bound in protein. When cadmium concentration in protein is relatively low, protein bound cadmium seems to be absorbed in the same way as cadmium ions are absorbed. However, when the concentration is high, at least a small amount of intact protein bound cadmium could be absorbed and accumulated selectively in kidney.
The Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase(SCD) is a key enzyme, which converting palmitic acid(16:0) and stearic acid (18:0) to pahnitoleic acid(16:1) and oleic acid(l8:1), respectively. The concentration of oleic acid(18:1) in meat of beef cattle could influence both palatability and perception of meat. This experiment has conducted to determine relationship between the compositions of monounsaturated fatty acids and the SCD mRNA level in bovine liver and loin muscle tissue. The compositions of palmitoleic acid(16:1) and oleic acid(18:1) in loin muscle were 5% and 46% of total lipid and in liver were 2% and 20% of total lipid, respectively. On the other hand, the compositions of palmitic acid(16:0) and stearic acid(18:0) in loin muscle were 25% and 45% of total lipid and in liver were 14% and 43% of total lipid, respectively. The ratio of monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids(the desaturation index) was used as a measure of SCD activity in tissues. The average desaturation index in loin muscle was higher about 3.6-fold than that in liver. The desaturation index of oleate/stearate and palmitoleatelpalmitate in loin muscle were higher 8-fold and 1.8-fold than those in liver, respectively, showing that the substrate specificity of SCD enzyme was very different between liver and muscle tissues. To determine whether the composition of monounsaturated fatty acids in liver and muscle are dependent on SCD expression, SCD mRNA level was examined by RT-PCR analysis. The SCD mRNA level in loin muscle was higher about 3-fold than that in liver. Thus, the quantitative relationship between the desaturation index of fatty acid and SCD mRNA was observed in liver and muscle. The difference in the compositions of monounsaturated fatty acids between bovine liver and muscle tissues may be due to different level of Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase mRNA.
Cytochrome oxidase was purified from bovine-heart mitochondria and its enzymatic properties were examined. The purified cytochrome oxidase was identified by its absorption spectrum and chromatogram through gel filtration. The specific activity, purification degree and yield of purified cytochrome oxidase were 18 nmol/mg/ml/min, 24.83 fold and 0.93%, respectively. The activity of the enzyme assayed by a ferrocytochrome $c-O_2$ system was optimized at $25^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.5. Examining the effect of nonionic detergents established that cytochrome oxidase was deactivated by Triton X-100. The oxidase was activated by Tween 80 and deactivated by Tween 20. The Michaelis constant and maximum velocity of the oxidase for ferrocytochrome c were 0.032~0.044 mM and 0.019~0.021 mM/min, respectively. After adaption to basal diet for a week, experimental diets containing 6 mg Cu/kg, or zero mg Cu/kg, or 12 mg Cu/kg were fed to a control group, a copper-free group and a copper-rich group of Sprague-Dawley rats, respectively, for 4 weeks. The specific activities assayed for the ferrocytochrome $c-O_2$ system of isolated cytochrome oxidase from the rat liver of control, copper-free, and copper-rich group were 1.00, 1.19, and 0.878 nmol/mg/ml/min, respectively. Their degrees of purification were 11.38, 10.82 and 8.78 fold, respectively. The specific activities for liver and heart mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase of copper-free/copper-rich groups assayed using the ferrocytochrome $c-O_2$ system were 81.4% and 96.4%/64.1% and 61.1%, respectively, compared with those of the control.
Because the biological tissue with inhomogeneous acoustic properties does not keep a particular shape, the measurement of propagation characteristics of ultrasonic fields by the conventional scanning method with a miniature hydrophone is difficult. In this study, a two-dimensional may hydrophone was fabricated using the PVDF (Polyvinylidene fluoride) piezo-electric film and a ultrasonic field measurement system with it was established. For the acoustic field produced by a circular plan transducer with center frequency of 2.25㎒ and 13㎜ in diameter, it was possible to make a fairly accurate field measurement using the hydrophone system. The attenuation coefficients at 2.25 ㎒ for biological tissues were 0.7∼1.3 dB/cm(average; 1.0 dB/cm) in bovine liver, 1.0∼1.8 dB/cm (average; 1.6 dB/cm) in pig liver, 0.9∼2,9 dB/cm(average: 2.1 dB/cm) in bovine muscles, 1.7∼3.3 dB/cm (average; 2.5 dB/cm) in pig muscles.
In this paper, two wavelengths mainly used for laser prostatectomy have been quantitatively compared: 532 and 980 nm. Two lasers at 40 W were employed to ablate bovine liver in vitro. Ablation performance was evaluated in light of number of sweeps, ablation volume, and coagulative necrosis. 532 nm yielded up to four times higher ablation efficiency than 980 nm. Regardless of wavelength, ablation rate per sweep decreased with the number of sweeps. 532 nm generated relatively deeper ablation craters along with thinner coagulation whereas 980 nm created superficial tissue ablation with up to 2 mm thick coagulative necrosis. Due to higher light absorption and effective thermal confinement, 532 nm induced more efficient tissue ablation with a smaller coagulative necrotic zone. The current study demonstrated that 532 nm could be a more ideal wavelength for laser prostatectomy, and the future in vivo investigations will confirm these findings.
We could produce algin-like biomaterial of polyiduronan using polyglucuronic acid C5-epimerase with polyglucuronic acid prepared by specific oxidation of primary alcohol groups of four kinds of polysaccharides(corn starch, rice starch, sweet potato starch, and cellulose). The enzyme activity was determined by the modified Dische carbazole methodology with the isolated crude enzyme from the supernatant centrifuged at $100,000{\times}g$ for 1 hr after grinding fresh bovine liver. And then, the optimal substrate, pH, and temperature for the enzyme reaction of polyglucuronic acid C5-epimerase were determined as the oxidized sweet potato starch, 7.0, and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Conclusively, it could be possible to epimerize polyglucuronic acid in the oxidized sweet potato starch to polyiduronic acid. Therefore, we could obtain algin-like polysaccharide using the oxidized sweet potato starch and polyglucuronic acid C5-epimerase isolated from bovine liver.
$\beta$-Glucuronidases (E.C. 3.2.1.31) from Escherichia coli, Helix pomatia, and bovine liver activity have been investigated on 7-O-glucuronides (baicalin, wogonoside, and luteolin-7-O-glucuronide) and 3-O-glucuronides (quercetin-3-O-glucuronide and kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide). Bovine liver enzyme was not active on any of these substrates. E. coli and H. pomatia enzymes were active on 7-O-glucuronides, however, 3-O-glucuronides were resistant to $\beta$-glucuronidase hydrolysis. These results suggest that glucuronic acid at 7-position is more susceptible to E. coli and H. pomatia $\beta$-glucuronidases than that at 3-position. In addition, the subtle difference of aglycone structure on 7-O-glucuronides affected the preference of enzyme. E. coli enzyme was favorable for the hydrolysis of baicalin, however, H. pomatia enzyme was found to be efficient for the hydrolysis of wogonoside. Both enzymes showed the similar hydrolytic activity towards luteolin-7-O-glucuronide. When the Scutellaria baicalensis crude extract was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis, baicalin and wogonoside were successfully converted to their aglycone counterparts with H. pomatia at 50 mM sodium bicarbonate buffer pH 4.0. Accordingly, the enzymatic transformation of glycosides may be quite useful in preparing aglycones under mild conditions.
The levels of activities of amylase, lipase and trypsin in both the pancreatic tissue and serum of 18 species of vertebrate animals were measured and enzymologically compared with each other. 1) The value of amylase in the pancreas of experimental mammalia has been found decreasing in the order pig, rat, dog, cat, rabbit and cow; that of pancreatic lipase has been found decreasing in the order of pig, dog, cat, rat, rabbit and cow; and that of trypsin has been found decreasing in the order of pig, cow, dog, rat, rabbit. Thus the value of all the above three kinds of enzymes were observed highest in pig, but in cow amylase and lipase were observed lowest while trypsin were observed considerably high. 2) In view of diets, the comparatively high values of pancreatic enzyme were observed in the ommivorous animals such as pig, rat, dog, while the values observed low in the herbivorous animals, such as cow and rabbit. 3) In the bovine, the values were observed moderately high except lipase which were found comparatively low. 4) In the Reptilia and Amphibia such a mud turttle and frog, the values were shown in similar measure with each other, that is, the pancreatic amylase and trypsin were observed considerably high while the lipase was found low. 5) In the species of Reptilia such as a viper and snake, the activities of pancreatic enzymes were not detected. But in the tissue of liver, stomach, activities of the enzymes were found considerably high. Lacertilia animals such as lizard the values of pancreatic enzymes were little observed. 6) In the fish in which the pancreatic tissue is scattered in the liver, the pancreatic enzymes were found in the liver tissue considerably higher than in the other tissues but lower than in the warm-blooded animals, especially the lipase was lower. 7) In generally the values of serum amylase and lipase were observed higher than those of man; and even in the cold-blooded animals in which the values of pancreatic enzymes were shown low or none, the values were also observed high. 8) The above three kinds of pancreatic enzyme values of those experimental animals have shown a tendency of higher degree in higher taxa than in lower taxa according to taxonomical order. 9) In view of tissue, the pancreatic cell was observed large in the mammalian animals such as rat and pig and cytoplasm was also abundantly contained in the acinous cell; and the bovine and the snake haave the pancreatic cells of the similar rosette form the comparatively large acinous cells of long rhombic form in the comparatively large acinous cells of long rhombic form in which the spindle shaped neucleus and the abundant cytoplasm were contained. In the fish the pancreatic cell were found scattered in the liver in which the very large pancreatic islet were found.
