Description

本発明は、例えば牛の乳汁における過酸化水素の分解反応による乳房炎検出方法、及びこの乳房炎検出方法に用いる測定用器具に関する。   The present invention relates to a mastitis detection method based on, for example, a decomposition reaction of hydrogen peroxide in cow's milk, and a measurement instrument used in this mastitis detection method.

乳房炎防除のため、乳房内への細菌感染を早期に発見し、治療するなどの早期対策が求められている。
従来の乳房炎検出法としてのCMT変法(PLテスター法)は、酪農家が簡便に検査できるが、乳房炎発症後でないと検知できない方法である。また、CL法(化学発光法)は、乳房炎発症前の感染を捉えられるが、酪農家が簡便に検査できる方法ではない。
乳房炎に感染すると、活性酸素の一種である過酸化水素(H)の分解酵素であるグルタチオンペルオキシダーゼやカタラーゼの量が増加する。
本発明者らは、酪農家が現場において、乳汁中の過酸化水素分解酵素の活性を測定することで、乳房炎感染を簡易に判定する方法を既に提案している。
この方法は、サイクリックボルタンメトリー法を代表例とし、乳汁の過酸化水素消去能を、過酸化水素分解により発生する酸素濃度から検出するものであり、日々の搾乳作業の中で、搾乳インラインから乳汁サンプルを採取し、短時間で自動的に測定、診断することにより、通常の乳房炎検出に加え、感染初期の乳房炎および外見上異常の認められない潜在性乳房炎を検出することができる。
In order to control mastitis, early measures such as early detection and treatment of bacterial infection in the breast are required.
A modified CMT method (PL tester method) as a conventional mastitis detection method is a method that can be easily inspected by dairy farmers, but can only be detected after the onset of mastitis. Moreover, although the CL method (chemiluminescence method) can catch infection before the onset of mastitis, it is not a method that can be easily examined by dairymen.
When infected with mastitis, the amount of glutathione peroxidase and catalase, which are degrading enzymes of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), which is a kind of active oxygen, increases.
The present inventors have already proposed a method in which a dairy farmer can easily determine mastitis infection by measuring the activity of a hydrogen peroxide-degrading enzyme in milk on site.
This method uses a cyclic voltammetry method as a representative example, and detects the hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability of milk from the oxygen concentration generated by hydrogen peroxide decomposition. By collecting a sample and automatically measuring and diagnosing it in a short time, in addition to normal mastitis detection, mastitis in the early stage of infection and latent mastitis with no apparent abnormality can be detected.

しかし、乳汁の過酸化水素消去能を、過酸化水素分解により発生する酸素濃度から検出する方法では、乳汁中の溶存酸素濃度に影響を受ける場合があることが分かってきた。
また、サイクリックボルタンメトリー法を用いる場合には、炭素電極と銀塩化銀電極を用いるが、銀塩化銀電極は、ガラス製であるため破損しやすく、また、測定後に食塩水に浸漬して保管する必要があるため、酪農家にとっては扱いにくいという問題を有している。
However, it has been found that the method for detecting the hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability of milk from the oxygen concentration generated by hydrogen peroxide decomposition may be affected by the dissolved oxygen concentration in the milk.
In addition, when using the cyclic voltammetry method, a carbon electrode and a silver-silver chloride electrode are used, but the silver-silver chloride electrode is easily broken because it is made of glass, and is immersed in saline after measurement and stored. Because it is necessary, it has a problem that it is difficult for dairymen to handle.

そこで本発明は、乳汁中の溶存酸素濃度に影響を受けない乳房炎検出方法、及びこの乳房炎検出方法に用いる測定用器具を提供することで乳房炎発症の予防を目的とする。   Then, this invention aims at prevention of mastitis onset by providing the mastitis detection method which is not influenced by the dissolved oxygen concentration in milk, and the measuring instrument used for this mastitis detection method.

以下本発明の一実施例による乳房炎検出方法について説明する。
乳房炎原因菌(以下、細菌)に感染すると、白血球が活性酸素を放出して殺菌するが、同時に自身を傷めないよう活性酸素分解酵素が増加する。
本実施例による乳房炎検出方法は、活性酸素の一種である過酸化水素を乳汁に定量添加し、過酸化水素分解酵素の活性に応じて一定時間に減少する過酸化水素濃度を活性酸素消去能として電気化学センサで測定することで、乳房炎発症前の細菌感染を検出する方法である。
A mastitis detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
When infected with mastitis-causing bacteria (hereinafter referred to as bacteria), white blood cells release active oxygen to kill them, but at the same time, active oxygen-degrading enzymes increase so as not to damage themselves.
In the mastitis detection method according to the present embodiment, hydrogen peroxide, which is a kind of active oxygen, is quantitatively added to milk, and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide that decreases in a certain time according to the activity of hydrogen peroxide-degrading enzyme is reduced. This is a method for detecting bacterial infection before the onset of mastitis by measuring with an electrochemical sensor.

図1は、クロノアンペロメトリー測定(以下CA測定)による時間経過にともなう電流特性を示す図である。図1では、横軸に測定開始からの時間を、縦軸にはCA測定による電流値(μA)を示している。
作用極、対極ともに白金電極を用い、電位を0.7Vとし、4サンプル(CH1、CH2、CH3、CH4)について測定を行った。測定温度は28〜30℃とした。
図1に示すように、4つのサンプルはいずれも同じ特性を示し、測定開始後60秒までは電流値が大きく変動するが、その後は一定値に収束し、120秒経過後の変化量は少ない。270秒ではほぼ一定値に収束しており、その後の変化量は極めて少ないことから、以降の測定には、270秒経過後の電流値を用いた。
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing current characteristics over time according to chronoamperometry measurement (hereinafter CA measurement). In FIG. 1, the horizontal axis represents the time from the start of measurement, and the vertical axis represents the current value (μA) by CA measurement.
A platinum electrode was used for both the working electrode and the counter electrode, the potential was 0.7 V, and measurements were performed on four samples (CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4). The measurement temperature was 28-30 ° C.
As shown in FIG. 1, the four samples all show the same characteristics, and the current value fluctuates greatly until 60 seconds after the start of measurement, but after that it converges to a constant value, and the amount of change after 120 seconds is small. . Since it converged to a substantially constant value at 270 seconds and the amount of change thereafter was very small, the current value after 270 seconds elapsed was used for the subsequent measurements.

図2は、過酸化水素濃度とCA測定による電流値との関係を示す特性図である。図2では、横軸に添加した過酸化水素の濃度を、縦軸には270秒後電流値(μA)を示している。
電位を0.7Vとし、270秒後の電流値を測定した。測定には、過酸化水素を混合した生理食塩水を供し、測定温度は28〜30℃とした。
図2に示すように、過酸化水素濃度とCA測定における270秒後電流値は正の比例関係にあることがわかる。
FIG. 2 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the hydrogen peroxide concentration and the current value obtained by CA measurement. In FIG. 2, the horizontal axis represents the concentration of hydrogen peroxide added, and the vertical axis represents the current value (μA) after 270 seconds.
The electric potential was 0.7 V, and the current value after 270 seconds was measured. For the measurement, physiological saline mixed with hydrogen peroxide was used, and the measurement temperature was 28 to 30 ° C.
As shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the hydrogen peroxide concentration and the current value after 270 seconds in the CA measurement are in a positive proportional relationship.

図3は、カタラーゼ混合量とCA測定による電流値の関係を示す特性図である。図3では、横軸に0.1%カタラーゼ混合量(μl)を、縦軸には270秒後電流値(μA)を示している。ここで、縦軸の270秒後電流値(μA)は過酸化水素濃度を表している。
分解酵素であるカタラーゼ(以下CAT)試薬と生理食塩水を混合した後、過酸化水素を添加し測定した。生理食塩水は12ml、過酸化水素は2ml、100mM(mmol/l)、測定温度は28〜30℃とした。
図3に示すように、過酸化水素分解酵素であるカタラーゼの混合量と270秒後電流値は負の比例関係にあった。従って、過酸化水素分解酵素の活性に応じて一定時間に減少する過酸化水素濃度、即ち過酸化水素消去能は、CA測定による電流値で推定できることが分かる。
FIG. 3 is a characteristic diagram showing the relationship between the amount of catalase mixture and the current value obtained by CA measurement. In FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the 0.1% catalase mixture amount (μl), and the vertical axis represents the current value (μA) after 270 seconds. Here, the current value (μA) after 270 seconds on the vertical axis represents the hydrogen peroxide concentration.
A catalase (hereinafter referred to as CAT) reagent, which is a degrading enzyme, and physiological saline were mixed, and hydrogen peroxide was added for measurement. The physiological saline was 12 ml, the hydrogen peroxide was 2 ml, 100 mM (mmol / l), and the measurement temperature was 28-30 ° C.
As shown in FIG. 3, the mixing amount of catalase, which is a hydrogen peroxide decomposing enzyme, and the current value after 270 seconds were in a negative proportional relationship. Therefore, it can be seen that the hydrogen peroxide concentration that decreases in a certain time according to the activity of the hydrogen peroxide decomposing enzyme, that is, the hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability, can be estimated by the current value by CA measurement.

図4は、乳汁中の活性酸素消去能と体細胞数の測定結果を示す図である。図4では、横軸に体細胞数(万個/ml)を、縦軸には活性酸素消去能(μA)を示している。ここで、縦軸では数値が大きい場合には活性酸素消去能が高く、数値が小さい場合には活性酸素消去能が低いことを表している。
乳汁中の活性酸素消去能と体細胞数(SCC)や細菌数等の関係を調査するため、過酸化水素と乳汁(細胞膜を破壊し反応速度を上げるため界面活性剤を添加)を混合してCA測定を行った。乳汁は12ml、過酸化水素は2ml、100mM、測定温度は28〜30℃とし、併せて乳汁中の体細胞数と細菌数を測定した。なお、活性酸素消去能は、測定器差補正と温度補正を行っている。測定器差補正については後述する。
図4に示すように、体細胞数が高くなると乳汁中の活性酸素消去能が高くなることが分かる。また、体細胞数が低くても消去能が高い場合があり、この場合は、細菌に感染し、殺菌のために活性酸素が放出されたことにより、消去能が高くなったと推察される。
従って、図4において、領域Aは乳房炎に感染し、自然免疫では防御できず体細胞(白血球)が増加した群であり、領域Bは乳房炎に感染し、自然免疫により活性酸素を放出して殺菌している群であると推察される。
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the results of measuring the active oxygen scavenging ability and the number of somatic cells in milk. In FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the number of somatic cells (10,000 cells / ml), and the vertical axis represents the active oxygen scavenging ability (μA). Here, on the vertical axis, when the numerical value is large, the active oxygen scavenging ability is high, and when the numerical value is small, the active oxygen scavenging ability is low.
In order to investigate the relationship between the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen in milk and the number of somatic cells (SCC) and bacteria, mix hydrogen peroxide and milk (add surfactant to break down cell membranes and increase reaction rate) CA measurement was performed. The milk was 12 ml, the hydrogen peroxide was 2 ml, 100 mM, the measurement temperature was 28-30 ° C., and the number of somatic cells and bacteria in the milk were also measured. The active oxygen scavenging ability is corrected by measuring instrument difference and temperature. The instrument difference correction will be described later.
As shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the active oxygen scavenging ability in milk increases as the number of somatic cells increases. Moreover, even if the number of somatic cells is low, the scavenging ability may be high. In this case, it is presumed that the scavenging ability is enhanced by infecting bacteria and releasing active oxygen for sterilization.
Therefore, in FIG. 4, region A is a group infecting mastitis and cannot be protected by innate immunity, but has increased somatic cells (leukocytes), and region B infects mastitis and releases active oxygen by innate immunity. It is inferred that the group is sterilized.

次に図8を用いて同測定用器具を用いた測定フローについて説明する。
まず、乳汁を乳汁容器12に採取する(ステップ1)。ステップ1における乳汁は、乳牛1頭の4分房の乳汁を混合することなく採取する。ステップ2では、ステップ1で採取した4分房の乳汁の内、余計な乳汁が測定用器具を斜めに傾けることで乳汁容器12の外側にある捨て乳容器12’に排出され、各乳汁容器12内の乳汁は一定量にされる。
そして、所定濃度の過酸化水素を過酸化水素容器11に定量分注する(ステップ3)。
ステップ3において所定濃度の過酸化水素が定量分注された過酸化水素容器11は、所定位置に設置される(ステップ4)。図6に示す実施例では、過酸化水素容器11を乳汁容器12内に浮かべる。
そして、センサプレート14を過酸化水素容器11を浮かべた乳汁容器12の開口に設置し、センサプレート14を設置した乳汁容器12を測定ユニット14’に設置する(ステップ5)。
Next, a measurement flow using the measuring instrument will be described with reference to FIG.
First, milk is collected in the milk container 12 (step 1). The milk in step 1 is collected without mixing the four-quarter milk from one cow. In Step 2, extra milk out of the four-quarter milk collected in Step 1 is discharged into the discarded milk container 12 ′ outside the milk container 12 by tilting the measuring instrument at an angle. The milk inside is made a certain amount.
Then, a predetermined concentration of hydrogen peroxide is quantitatively dispensed into the hydrogen peroxide container 11 (step 3).
The hydrogen peroxide container 11 into which a predetermined concentration of hydrogen peroxide has been dispensed in step 3 is placed at a predetermined position (step 4). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the hydrogen peroxide container 11 is floated in the milk container 12.
And the sensor plate 14 is installed in the opening of the milk container 12 which floated the hydrogen peroxide container 11, and the milk container 12 in which the sensor plate 14 was installed is installed in measurement unit 14 '(step 5).

ステップ5が終了した後に、CA測定による電流値の測定を開始する(ステップ6)。
ステップ6における測定開始からの経過時間を計時手段22にて計時し、ステップ7において、あらかじめ設定した時間(270秒)が経過した場合には、設定時間経過時点での過酸化水素容器11内の過酸化水素濃度を測定する(ステップ8)。すなわち、ステップ8(第1の測定ステップ)では、乳汁に過酸化水素を供給する前の過酸化水素濃度をセンサプレート14と測定ユニット14’で測定し、測定したデータをデータ取込手段21で取り込む。センサプレート14と測定ユニット14’では、それぞれの過酸化水素容器11内の過酸化水素濃度を同時に個別に測定する。
ステップ8(第1の測定ステップ)における測定終了後に、押棒13を操作することで、過酸化水素容器11を破損し、過酸化水素容器11内の過酸化水素と乳汁容器12内の乳汁とを混合する(ステップ9)。
After step 5 ends, measurement of the current value by CA measurement is started (step 6).
The elapsed time from the start of measurement in step 6 is measured by the time measuring means 22, and in step 7, when a preset time (270 seconds) has elapsed, the hydrogen peroxide container 11 in the hydrogen peroxide container 11 at the time when the set time has elapsed. The hydrogen peroxide concentration is measured (step 8). That is, in step 8 (first measurement step), the hydrogen peroxide concentration before supplying hydrogen peroxide to the milk is measured by the sensor plate 14 and the measurement unit 14 ′, and the measured data is obtained by the data capturing means 21. take in. In the sensor plate 14 and the measurement unit 14 ′, the hydrogen peroxide concentration in each hydrogen peroxide container 11 is simultaneously measured individually.
After the measurement in step 8 (first measurement step) is completed, the hydrogen peroxide container 11 is broken by operating the push rod 13, and the hydrogen peroxide in the hydrogen peroxide container 11 and the milk in the milk container 12 are removed. Mix (step 9).

ステップ9における押棒13の操作、すなわち過酸化水素容器11内の過酸化水素と乳汁容器12内の乳汁との混合からの経過時間を計時手段22にて計時し、ステップ10において、あらかじめ設定した時間(270秒)が経過した場合には、設定時間経過時点での過酸化水素濃度を測定する(ステップ11)。すなわち、ステップ11では、過酸化水素を供給した乳汁の過酸化水素濃度をセンサプレート14と測定ユニット14’で測定し、測定したデータをデータ取込手段21で取り込む。センサプレート14と測定ユニット14’では、押棒13で連通させた後のそれぞれの過酸化水素容器11内又はそれぞれの乳汁容器12内の過酸化水素濃度を同時に個別に測定する。
ステップ12では、活性酸素消去能を演算手段23において演算する。活性酸素消去能の演算は、ステップ8(第1の測定ステップ)で測定した過酸化水素濃度からステップ11(第2の測定ステップ)で測定した過酸化水素濃度を減じて算出する。演算手段23での活性酸素消去能の演算は、それぞれの乳汁容器12別に行う。なお、この演算において、温度センサ14aで検出した温度を基に補正を行う。
ここで、演算手段23での活性酸素消去能の演算を、それぞれの乳汁容器12別に行うことで、検査対象が牛の場合には、4つの乳房を同時に個別に測定することができ、いずれかの乳房が感染している場合であっても、確実に乳房炎を検出することができるため、乳房炎の早期発見が行いやすくなる。
The elapsed time from the operation of the push bar 13 in step 9, that is, the mixing of the hydrogen peroxide in the hydrogen peroxide container 11 and the milk in the milk container 12 is measured by the time measuring means 22, and the time set in advance in step 10 When (270 seconds) has elapsed, the hydrogen peroxide concentration when the set time has elapsed is measured (step 11). That is, in step 11, the hydrogen peroxide concentration of the milk supplied with hydrogen peroxide is measured by the sensor plate 14 and the measurement unit 14 ′, and the measured data is captured by the data capturing means 21. In the sensor plate 14 and the measurement unit 14 ′, the hydrogen peroxide concentration in each hydrogen peroxide container 11 or each milk container 12 after being communicated by the push rod 13 is simultaneously measured individually.
In step 12, the active oxygen scavenging ability is calculated by the calculation means 23. The active oxygen scavenging ability is calculated by subtracting the hydrogen peroxide concentration measured in step 11 (second measurement step) from the hydrogen peroxide concentration measured in step 8 (first measurement step). The calculation of the active oxygen scavenging ability in the calculation means 23 is performed for each milk container 12. In this calculation, correction is performed based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 14a.
Here, the calculation of the active oxygen scavenging ability in the calculation means 23 is performed for each milk container 12, so that when the test object is a cow, four breasts can be measured individually, Even if the breast is infected, mastitis can be reliably detected, so that early detection of mastitis is facilitated.

ステップ12で演算した結果に基づき、閾値記憶手段25にあらかじめ記憶している閾値と比較し感染判定を行う(ステップ13)。
ステップ13での判定結果は出力される(ステップ14)。また、ステップ8において測定された過酸化水素濃度、ステップ11において測定された過酸化水素濃度、及びステップ13における判定結果はデータ記憶手段27に記憶される。
Based on the result calculated in step 12, an infection determination is made by comparing with the threshold value stored in advance in the threshold value storage means 25 (step 13).
The determination result in step 13 is output (step 14). Further, the hydrogen peroxide concentration measured in step 8, the hydrogen peroxide concentration measured in step 11, and the determination result in step 13 are stored in the data storage means 27.

図9は、乳房炎感染の簡易判定方法を示す図である。
図4で示した測定結果から、体細胞数が高くなると乳汁中の活性酸素消去能が高くなること、及び体細胞数が低くても活性酸素消去能が高い場合があることが分かった。
この結果から、図9に示すように、体細胞数が所定値以上の場合には、乳房炎であり、体細胞数が所定値以下の場合で活性酸素消去能が所定値より高い場合に初期段階の乳房炎原因菌感染と判断できる。
従って、体細胞数をあらかじめ測定し、体細胞数が所定値以下の場合に、過酸化水素消去能を検出することが好ましい。
このように、体細胞数が所定値以下の検体に限ることで、乳房炎発症の検査負担を減らし、予防検査を確実に行うことができる。
FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a simple determination method for mastitis infection.
From the measurement results shown in FIG. 4, it was found that the active oxygen scavenging ability in milk increases as the number of somatic cells increases, and that the active oxygen scavenging ability may be high even if the number of somatic cells is low.
From this result, as shown in FIG. 9, when the number of somatic cells is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, mastitis, and when the number of somatic cells is less than or equal to the predetermined value and the active oxygen scavenging ability is higher than the predetermined value, It can be determined that the infection is due to mastitis causing bacteria.
Therefore, it is preferable to measure the number of somatic cells in advance and detect hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability when the number of somatic cells is a predetermined value or less.
In this way, by limiting the number of somatic cells to a sample having a predetermined value or less, it is possible to reduce the examination burden for the development of mastitis and reliably perform a preventive examination.

また、本発明では、最初に、既知濃度の過酸化水素をCA測定により行った後、続いて、過酸化水素と乳汁とを混合してCA測定を行うため、測定器差の補正が測定毎に行える。
As described above, according to the present invention, in a mastitis detection method of supplying a predetermined amount of hydrogen peroxide to milk and detecting the hydrogen peroxide scavenging ability of milk by an electrochemical method, peroxidation is performed by CA measurement.
