概括
滴滴数字PCR (ddPCR) 在治疗后检测到狗的Ehrlichia canis DNA,比标准PCR更长时间. 这表明持续的DNAemia,可能与严重的贫血有关,需要进一步调查感染活力.
科学领域:
- 兽医微生物学 兽医微生物学
- 分子诊断学 分子诊断学
- 狗的传染病 狗的传染病
背景情况:
- 埃里希亚犬 (Ehrlichia canis) 是一种由传播的病原体,导致狗单胞性埃里希菌病 (CME).
- 在多西环林治疗后,E. canis DNA的持久性尚未得到充分理解.
- 需要敏感的分子方法来监测治疗后的感染.
研究的目的:
- 使用ddPCR在治疗后60天内对狗的E. canisDNAemia进行监测.
- 为了将ddPCR与qPCR的性能进行比较,用于检测E. canis DNA.
- 调查与持久性E. canisDNAemia相关的因素.
主要方法:
- 四十一只自然获得的CME的狗被纳入.
- 血液样本是在治疗后的第0天,第30天和第60天收集的.
- 使用滴滴数字PCR (ddPCR) 和TaqMan实时PCR (qPCR) 来检测和量化E. canis DNA.
主要成果:
- 在第0天,ddPCR在82.9%的狗中检测到E. canis DNA,其表现优于qPCR (60.97%).
- 在第30天和第60天,ddPCR分别在57.14%和35.71%的狗中检测到DNA,明显高于qPCR.
- 观察到持久的DNAemia与非常低的细菌负载,和严重的贫血 (Hct<25%) 在诊断时与更高的检测率在第30天.

Longitudinal Research
13.1K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

What is Natural Selection?
126.0K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Longitudinal Studies
483
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Nature and Nurture
22.2K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Bacterial Transformation

In 1928, bacteriologist Frederick Griffith worked on a vaccine for pneumonia, which is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. Griffith studied two pneumonia strains in mice: one pathogenic and one non-pathogenic. Only the pathogenic strain killed host mice.
Griffith made an unexpected discovery when he killed the pathogenic strain and mixed its remains with the live, non-pathogenic strain. Not only did the mixture kill host mice, but it also contained living pathogenic bacteria that...
