Opis:: Probiotics and prebiotics are viable bacteria with beneficial effects on the host and components that selectively act on the beneficial commensal bacteria, respectively. The combined use of probiotics and prebiotics is termed synbiotics. Probiotic intake improves dysbiosis in the intestinal microbiota and can positively affect canine atopic dermatitis (CAD). However, clinical studies on improvements in CAD using synbiotics remain limited. In this study, 15 dogs with CAD who received prednisolone, a synthetic glucocorticoid (GC) used in the treatment of CAD, for more than 90 days were continuously treated with Lactobacillus paracasei M-1 from fermented food as a probiotic, and trisaccharide kestose as a prebiotic, for 90 days to determine their synbiotic effects on CAD. The CAD symptoms were evaluated using the canine atopic dermatitis lesion index (CADLI) and pruritus visual analog scores (PVAS) at 30, 60 and 90 days after synbiotic administration. The total prednisolone use for 90 days pre- and post-administration was also evaluated. Synbiotic administration significantly reduced the CADLI (pre: median, 28.0 [22.0-32.0]; 30 days: median, 20.0 [20.0−28.0]; 60 days: median, 20.0 [10.0−21.0]; 90 days: median, 12.0 [10.0-19.0]) and PVAS (pre: median, 6.0 [5.0-7.0]; 30 days: median, 3.0 [3.0-3.5]; 60 days: median, 3.0 [3.0-3.5]; 90 days: median, 2.0 [2.0-3.5]) scores, and reduced the total prednisone use over 90 days (pre: 112.0 [25-450] mg; post: 80.0 [18.-300.0] mg; p<0.001) in the 15 dogs. Thus, the synbiotic activity of L. paracasei M-1 and trisaccharide kestose can improve CAD.

Opis:: Erythritol helps both prevent and improve periodontal disease and is therefore widely used for dental care in humans. However, only a few studies have investigated the effects of erythritol on periodontal disease in animals. We hypothesized that erythritol could be used to prevent and improve periodontal disease also in canines and investigated the effects of erythritol on canine periodontal disease–related pathogenic bacteria using both in vitro and in vivo methods. The effect of erythritol on the proliferation of Porphyromonas gulae, which is reportedly associated with canine periodontal disease, was investigated in vitro. In addition, a 4-week intervention trial using an external gel preparation containing 5% erythritol was performed in canines with mild periodontal disease; changes in the microbiota around periodontal lesions were investigated using next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. The growth of P. gulae was significantly suppressed by erythritol in vitro. In the intervention study, the Shannon index, an indicator of the species distribution α-diversity, and the occupancy of several canine periodontal disease – related bacteria ( P. gulae, P. cangingivalis) were significantly decreased in periodontal lesions. Based on the results of in vitro and in vivo studies, we conclude that, as in humans, erythritol has bacteriostatic effects against periodontal disease – related bacteria in canines.

Opis:: In order to clarify the adsorption equilibrium for the species of the extractant and the extraction complex, the interfacial tensions between the aqueous and the organic solutions were investigated, using equilibrated kerosene solution in the presence of 5-dodecylsalicylaldoxime (LIX® 860-IC) and aqueous solution in the presence and absence of nickel ion. The interfacial tensions decreased with increasing in the concentration of LIX® 860-IC. Experimental results of the interfacial tension were analyzed by Gibb’s adsorption isotherm. The adsorption equilibrium constant and the interfacial area for the extractant and the extraction complex were determined. The extraction rate of nickel from the aqueous ammonium sulfate solution with LIX® 860-IC in kerosene was investigated using a Lewis-type transfer cell. The concentration effects of extractant, nickel, and hydrogen ion on the extraction rate were examined. The extraction rate increased with increasing in the concentrations of nickel and the extractant, and approached to constant values depending on the extractant concentration at a high concentration of nickel. The rate increased with decreasing in the concentration of hydrogen ion, and approached to constant values depending on the extractant concentration. These results were analysed based on an interfacial reaction model in which the reaction proceeds between an extractant species adsorbed at the interface and nickel ion in the aqueous solution. The extraction rate is interpreted based on the rate equation in which the interfacial reaction between a 1:1 nickel chelate complex species adsorbed at the interface and the extractant in the organic solution is the rate-determining step. The reaction rate constants and equilibrium constants were determined.

Opis:: A microprobing system, which has the functions of measuring the intracranial EEG(IC-EEG) and freezing brain tissue, is proposed for the minimally invasive brain cryogenic surgery of intractable epilepsy treatment. Two fi76 µm platinum electrodes were equipped on a fi0.8 mm cryogenic probe. Epileptic burst, which was evoked on a brain sample of a rat, was measured by the electrodes. The freezing function was confirmed with the experiments with sliced hippocampus samples of a rat.

Opis:: A method for evaluating the dynamic characteristics of force transducers against small and short-duration impact forces is developed. In this method, a small mass collides with a force transducer and the impact force is measured with high accuracy as the inertial force of the mass. A pneumatic linear bearing is used to achieve linear motion with sufficiently small friction acting on the mass, which is the moving part of the bearing. Small and short-duration impact forces with a maximum impact force of approximately 5 N and minimum half-value width of approximately 1 ms are applied to a force transducer and the impulse responses are evaluated.
