Pulmonary lavage samples were collected from 90- to 130-day-old calves before and 6 days after aerosol inoculation with bovine herpesvirus-1 (BHV-1) or parainfluenza-3 (PI3) virus. Alveolar lining material was separated from lavage fluids by high-speed centrifugation and phospholipids were extracted from alveolar lining material and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were 74.2 +/- 6.5% and 13.3 +/- 2.8%, respectively, of the total phospholipid content in the surfactant obtained from calves before virus inoculation. Other phospholipids were represented by substantially lower percentages. Infection with either of the 2 viruses caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the percentage of phosphatidylcholine to 66.0 +/- 8.0% and 65.1 +/- 10.8% in the calves inoculated with BHV-1 and PI3 virus, respectively. A significant (P < 0.05) increase in the percentage of phosphatidylethanolamine to 18.1 +/- 2.2% and 17.8 +/- 4.5% developed in calves inoculated with BHV-1 and PI3 virus, respectively. Infection with BHV-1 also induced an increase (not significant) in the percentage of phosphatidylinositol from 5.5 +/- 2.8% to 7.8 +/- 2.2%. A similar, but not significant, increase in the percentage of phosphatidylinositol was also seen in the calves inoculated with PI3 virus. Less substantial changes in the percentage of other phospholipids were detected after virus infection.

Because cleaning products are part of our everyday lives, it is essential that they should not present significant risks to health. However, many petrochemicals in most soaps and detergents can be absorbed through the scalp and skin and, over time, accumulate in the organs and tissues. This accumulation may result in brain, nerve, and liver damage. Therefore, it is interested in developing non-harmful detergent. According to Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, GC-100X may be non-harmful and noncorrosive alkaline ionic water (pH 12). It is composed of hydroxyl radicals and supplemented with xylitol.
