    Abstract Osteoporosis is caused by imbalance between osteogenesis and bone resorption, thus, osteogenic drugs and resorption inhibitors are used for treatment of osteoporosis. The present study examined the effects of (R)-4-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-{4-[2-(tetrahydropyran-4-yloxy)ethoxy]phenoxy}benzamide (KY-273), a diphenyl ether derivative, on CDK8/19 activity, osteoblast differentiation and femoral bone using micro-computed tomography in female rats. KY-273 potently inhibited CDK8/19 activity, promoted osteoblast differentiation with an increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and gene expression of type I collagen, ALP and BMP-4 in mesenchymal stem cells (ST2 cells). In female rat femur, ovariectomy decreased metaphyseal trabecular bone volume (Tb.BV), mineral content (Tb.BMC), yet had no effect on metaphyseal and diaphyseal cortical bone volume (Ct.BV), mineral content (Ct.BMC) and strength parameters (BSPs). In ovaries-intact and ovariectomized rats, oral administration of KY-273 (10 mg/kg/d) for 6 weeks increased metaphyseal and diaphyseal Ct.BV, Ct.BMC, and BSPs without affecting medullary volume (Med.V), but did not affect Tb.BV and Tb.BMC. In ovariectomized rats, alendronate (3 mg/kg/d) caused marked restoration of Tb.BV, Tb.BMC and structural parameters after ovariectomy, and increased metaphyseal but not diaphyseal Ct.BV, Ct.BMC, and BSPs. In ovaries-intact and ovariectomized rats, by the last week, KY-273 increased bone formation rate/bone surface at the periosteal but not the endocortical side. These findings indicate that KY-273 causes osteogenesis in cortical bone at the periosteal side without reducing Med.V. In conclusion, KY-273 has cortical-bone-selective osteogenic effects by osteoblastogenesis via CDK8/19 inhibition in ovaries-intact and ovariectomized rats, and is an orally active drug candidate for bone diseases such as osteoporosis in monotherapy and combination therapy.

    Abstract In numerous laboratory experiments involving the incubation of reptile eggs, both the maternal origin of eggs and the incubating environment (nest effect) have been demonstrated to influence hatchling phenotype. Although different hatchling phenotypes have been reported from natural nests, the separate effects of maternal origin and nest on hatchling phenotype in natural nests have not been demonstrated because in natural nests the two effects are confounded with each other. Here, we use a split clutch design to experimentally separate nest effects from maternal origin effects in field nests of green turtles (Chelonia mydas). We found both maternal origin and nest to influence hatchling morphology and locomotor performance in some but not all field nests. By using egg mass (maternal origin effect) and nest temperature (nest effect) in multiple regression analysis, we found maternal origin had a greater influence than nest temperature on the morphological attributes of hatchling mass and carapace size, but nest temperature had a greater influence than maternal origin on the performance attributes of self-righting time, self-righting propensity, swim thrust during the first 30 min of swimming, and power stroke rate during the first 30 min of swimming.

    Abstract Background: Food allergy is a serious health issue affecting roughly 4% of children, with a substantial effect on quality of life. Chicken egg allergy is frequently observed in infants. Therefore, some of them have to exclude hen's eggs from their daily diet to avoid allergenic symptoms. Hen's egg is composed of 2 soluble parts; one is egg white, which has been characterized as the major source of allergenicity, while the other is egg yolk, which is estimated as a miner source. Only 2 allergens from egg yolk, α-livetin (Gal d 5) and YGP42 (Gal d 6), have been described to date.
    Methods: Sera from 53 patients allergic to hen's eggs and 2 patients allergic to sesame were obtained from the Department of Pediatrics, Chiba University Hospital. The study was performed using SDS-PAGE, IgE immunoblotting, and dot blotting.
    Results: Seven bands of egg yolk were detected by IgE immunoblotting. Out of these bands, a possible new allergen was further characterized by LC-MS/MS. The 33-kDa band was identified as yolk glycoprotein (YGP40) by LC-MS/MS. A total of 21 of the 53 patients (47%) had YGP40 detected by dot blotting.
    Conclusions: We identified YGP40 as a new hen's egg yolk allergen and detected 4 sites of YGP40 as linear epitopes.

    Abstract Feline renal diseases are increasingly noted in veterinary practice. It is important to diagnose and identify the pathological basis of renal dysfunction accurately at an early stage, but there are only a few reports on this area in clinical veterinary medicine. We investigated the efficacy of measurement of urinary albumin (u-Alb) and urinary transferrin (u-Tf) for early diagnosis using 5-µl urine samples collected noninvasively by catheterization from normal (IRIS stage I) cats and cats with stage I chronic kidney disease (CKD). The u-Alb levels in normal and stage I CKD cats were 6.0 ± 4.5 and 11.2 ± 8.4 mg/dl, respectively, and the u-Tf levels were 0.09 ± 0.42 and 0.52 ± 0.79 mg/dl, respectively. Based on ROC curve analysis, the sensitivity and specificity of u-Alb and u-Tf were higher than those of the currently used biomarker, the plasma creatinine level. The sensitivity of u-Alb was higher than that of u-Tf, whereas the specificity of u-Tf was higher than that of u-Alb. The validity of the threshold albumin level (20 mg/dl) was confirmed by measurements using SDS-PAGE. Since leakage of u-Tf in urine precedes leakage of u-Alb, inclusion of u-Tf in biochemistry tests may be appropriate for IRIS staging as a diagnostic marker of early diagnosis of renal disorder in cats.
