1. Randolph Corteling, Daniel Wyss, Alexandre Trifilieff; In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters: (in English) AbstractBackgroundEvidence suggests that both the migration and activation of neutrophils into the airway is of importance in pathological conditions such as pulmonary emphysema. In the present study, we describe in vivo models of lung neutrophil infiltration and activation in mice and hamsters.ResultsBALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were intranasally treated with lipopolysaccharide (0.3 mg/kg). Twenty-four hours after, animals were treated intranasally with N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (0 to 5 mg/kg). Golden Syrian hamsters were treated intratracheally with 0.5 mg/kg of lipopolysaccharide. Twenty-four hours after, animals were treated intratracheally with 0.25 mg/kg of N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe. Both mice and hamster were sacrificed two hours after the N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe application. In both BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice, a neutrophil infiltration was observed after the sequential application of lipopolysaccharide and N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe. However, 5 times less neutrophil was found in C57BL/6 mice when compared to BALB/c mice. This was reflected in the neutrophil activation parameters measured (myeloperoxidase and elastase activities). Despite the presence of neutrophil and their activation status, no lung haemorrhage could be detected in both strains of mice. When compared with mice, the lung inflammation induced by the sequential application of lipopolysaccharide and N-Formyl-Met-Leu-Phe was much greater in the hamster. In parallel with this lung inflammation, a significant lung haemorrhage was also observed.ConclusionsBoth mouse and hamster can be used for pharmacological studies of new drugs or other therapeutics agents that aimed to interfere with neutrophil activation. However, only the hamster model seems to be suitable for studying the haemorrhagic lung injury process. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.44)

1. Gebreselassie, Mulaw; Verfahrenstechnische Losungen fur die Milchproduktion bei standortferner Futterstroherzeugung: (in German) Due to the unfavourable climatic conditions for forage production, dairy farms around Da-mascus (Syria) are forced to transport straw from far crop growing regions. The dairy farm covered in this study needs about 400 tonnes of straw to be used as feed which has to be transported from a distance of around 800 km. In the study farm straw covers more than 80% of the forage feed provided. At present the straw is chopped and is being transported in plastic sacks utilising only 45 % of the capacity of the trucks. This indicates the need for improve-ment in truck utilisation through optimisation process such as compacting. The cost of straw is mainly influenced by the cost of compacting and transporting the straw from crop producing regions to the dairy farms located at up to 800 km away from the pro-duction centre. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the different treatment methods such as physical (chopping, compacting, etc) and chemical (Urea application) in improving the utili-sation of straw as dairy feed. The study has also included the minimisation of transportation cost and reduction of pollution of the environment through an optimisation process. At the same time attempts were made to increase the transport capacity and reduction of the expendi-ture without affecting the quality of the feed. Through the physical and chemical treatments of straw it was possible to improve the feed value of straw which has enabled us to develop a new ration formulation that could be used on the study farm. The use of square bale to compact the straw has reduced diesel consumption which in turn minimises CO2 emission by 46% per year. The chemical treatment employed by using 4% Urea and 50% water of the straw weight was observed to be optimal. Based on the above chemical treatment procedure, an allowance of 5 to 8 kg DM per cow and day was recommended depending on the lactation stage of the cow. The effect of the square baling in conjunction with the Urea treatment at the dairy farm could reduce the yearly feed expenditure of the farm by 13%. [Text] [View with Perseus links] (0.43)
