Efficacy of GPE strain live attenuated vaccine and CP7_E2alf strain recombinant live vaccine (marker vaccine) against Japanese epidemic classical swine fever virus isolated in 2019 and DIVA discrimination ability of the marker vaccine.

Classical swine fever (CSF) re-emerged in Japan in 2018, with the epidemic virus identified as genotype 2.1, which is moderately virulent and more difficult to detect and control than the highly virulent strain. Domestic pigs were administered with GPE strain live attenuated vaccine (GPE vaccine) for outbreak management.

Pathogenicity of genotype 2.1 classical swine fever virus isolated from Japan in 2019 in pigs.

Classical swine fever (CSF) re-emerged in Japan in 2018 for the first time in 26 years. The disease has been known to be caused by a moderately pathogenic virus, rather than the highly pathogenic virus that had occurred in the past. However, the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown.

Characterization of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae isolated from pigs in Japan using whole genome sequencing.

We conducted whole-genome sequencing to investigate the serotypes, the presence of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes, and the genetic relationships among isolates of Actinobacillus. pleuropneumoniae derived from diseased pigs. Serotype 2 (71.

The formation process of button ulcers in pigs experimentally infected with a subgenotype 2.1 isolate of classical swine fever virus.

We evaluated the role of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) in the formation of button ulcers in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses of pigs experimentally infected with a subgenotype 2.1 isolate of CSFV, which was isolated in Japan in 2019, revealed follicular necrosis in the submucosal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and herniation of crypts as factors that contribute to the development of button ulcers during CSFV infection.

3,5-Bis(3-alkylaminomethyl-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-4-piperidones: A Novel Class of Potent Tumor-Selective Cytotoxins.

Novel 4-piperidone derivatives 2a-f are disclosed as potent cytotoxins. Many of these compounds are more potent than the reference drug melphalan. The compounds in series 2, 4-7 display selective toxicities toward various neoplasms compared to some normal cells.

Dimeric 3,5-bis(benzylidene)-4-piperidones: a novel cluster of tumour-selective cytotoxins possessing multidrug-resistant properties.

A series of bis[3,5-bis(benzylidene)-4-oxo-1-piperidinyl]amides 1 display potent cytotoxic properties towards a wide range of tumours. A number of the CC(50) and IC(50) values are in the range of 10(-8) M. Specifically, these compounds have the following important properties.

Comparative study of biological activity of three commercial products of Sasa senanensis Rehder leaf extract.

Background: We have previously reported that alkaline extract of Sasa senanensis leaves (SE) has several biological activities characteristic of lignin-carbohydrate complex (LCC). In the present study, we compared the biological activity of three commercially available products of SE (products A, B and C).

Materials And Methods: Cell viability of mock-infected, HIV-infected, UV-irradiated cells was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.
