This work was designed to observe the dentine incremental lines of the sika deer (Cervus nippon) fawns and to investigate their periodicity using the chronological labeling method with fluorochromes. The incremental lines were observed in decalcified specimens stained by Bodian's silver technique, and the fluorescence-labeled lines were observed in undecalcified and ground specimens. In the silver stained specimens, there were two types of lines, deeply stained thick lines and faintly stained minute regular incremental lines. The intervals and staining intensities of the deeply stained thick lines were very similar to those of the fluorescence-labeled lines in the ground specimens obtained from the same tooth, and hence, it appeared that the both lines were identical. The number of minute incremental lines between the deeply stained thick lines was the same as that of days between the time when each fluorescent labeling injection was made. Therefore, it seemed that each minute incremental line was formed each day. The possibility of age estimation in days using diurnal dentine increments was discussed.  相似文献

The peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP), avidin-biotin-complex (ABC) techniques, and electron microscopy, were used to identify protozoan parasites in formalin-fixed material from routine necropsy cases. The material comprised paraffin blocks, that had been stored for up to 18 years, from 18 cases of suspected toxoplasmosis and encephalitozoonosis. With the ABC method a higher dilution of primary antibody could be used than with the PAP method. However, with both methods, a distinct reaction occurred with appropriate dilutions. The age of the material did not seem to effect the result. Frequently, phagocytized and necrotic parasites were also stained. Gystozoites (bradyzoites) of T. gondii were stained faintly compared to the endozoites (tachyzoites). A Toxoplasma-like parasite from a dog did not react with anti-Toxoplasma serum, and ultrastructurally it proved to be consistent with an unidentified cyst-forming sporozoan parasite previously reported in dogs. Electron microscopy based on paraffin-embedded tissue, seems to be a valuable method for identification of protozoan parasites, and thus provide a supplement or alternative to the immunoperoxidase methods.  相似文献

A 7-year-old castrated male Miniature Schnauzer was examined because of labored breathing and episodes of respiratory distress that progressed to collapse. On cervical radiographs, a focal soft tissue mass in the caudal cervical portion of the trachea was observed, and during tracheoscopy, a 1 x 1 cm, pedunculated, multinodular, pink, intraluminal mass extending from the dorsal tracheal membrane and obstructing approximately 80% of the tracheal lumen was seen. Tracheal resection and anastomosis was performed to remove the mass, and the dog recovered without complications. On histologic examination, the mass consisted of a large accumulation of homogeneous, faintly fibrillar eosinophilic material admixed with a predominantly plasma cell infiltrate; examination of sections stained with thioflavin T and Congo red stain confirmed that the eosinophilic material was amyloid. A diagnosis of nodular, immunocyte-derived (AL) amyloidosis was made. Seventeen months after surgery, the dog had a relapse of respiratory distress because of an extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the trachea.  相似文献

A 6-year-old, Hereford/Angus crossbred cow which died acutely was submitted for necropsy and diagnostic evaluation. A toxicity was suspected by the owner who had noticed incoordination of one week's duration. The animal was last observed 24 hours prior to death. Toxicology screens for alkaloids, heavy metals, pesticides and nitrates were negative. The significant histologic abnormalities were confined to the thalamic nuclei, periventricular neurons and the liver. Neurons and hepatocytes contained 1 to 2 intracytoplasmic inclusions which stained faintly eosinophilic to slightly basophilic with H&E. The inclusions frequently had dense central cores and a fibrillar to homogeneous periphery. Based on a battery of histochemical stains for carbohydrates, and other mucosubstances and the morphology and location of the inclusions, a diagnosis of systemic glycoproteinosis consistent with Lafora's disease was made. This case represents the first report of lesions consistent with Lafora's disease in the bovine species.  相似文献

A 21-year-old thoroughbred mare had a 35 x 14 x 10 cm mass involving the mammary gland. Metastases were found in the kidneys, lungs, skeletal muscles, and regional lymph nodes. Histopathologic examination of the tumor revealed a ductal solid carcinoma with extensive intraductal and intralobular involvement and focal infiltration of the adjacent stroma. The intralobular neoplasms were divided into irregularly shaped islands and sheets of polygonal and spindle-shaped epithelial cells by thick or thin fibrous connective tissue bundles. The neoplastic cells had a small or moderate amount of cytoplasm that stained faintly with eosin and round or oval hyperchromatic nuclei. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were strongly positive for Lu-5, weakly positive for AE1/AE3, vimentin, and glial fibrillary acidic protein, and negative for cytokeratin 8, cytokeratin 14, alpha-smooth muscle actin, calponin, and S100. The neoplasm was diagnosed as an invasive ductal carcinoma of the mammary gland with multiple metastases.  相似文献

Samples collected from an 11-month-old Dachshund-mix dog with a history of acute azotemia, fever, and enlarged and irregular kidneys were received at the Colorado State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (CSU VDL). The submitting veterinarians were concerned about lymphoma versus acute nephritis/pyelonephritis. The CSU clinical pathology laboratory received urine for urinalysis and kidney aspirates for cytologic evaluation. Urine had also been submitted for aerobic culture and Leptospirosis PCR, and serum was submitted for Lepto-5 microscopic agglutination testing (MAT). Upon examination of a wet mount of the urine sediment, technical staff noted “vibrating” clumps of granular-appearing material throughout the slide, which prompted the preparation of a stained sediment slide for pathologist review. Very small, faintly staining organisms were observed, and an attempt was made to picture-match these with published reports of Leptospira in dog urine, but none could be found. In addition, some references claimed that Leptospira organisms are not seen in urine with light microscopy. The suspicion that these organisms were Leptospira sp. was supported by the MAT results and later confirmed by PCR. The organisms subsequently exhibited strong positive immunolabeling for the Leptospira antigen. This case report provides a searchable record of Leptospira organisms visualized by routine light microscopy in dog urine during natural infection and a review of canine leptospirosis pathobiology and diagnosis.  相似文献

A severe, progressive myopathy developed in an 11-year-old, phosphofructokinase (PFK)-deficient, male, English Springer Spaniel dog. Results from a routine neurological examination were normal. Examination of histologic sections of skeletal muscle revealed large accumulations of material in some myofibers. These deposits were pale, basophilic, somewhat flocculent, and slightly granular with hematoxylin and eosin stain. Most fascicles examined in sections of limb and trunk muscles were affected to some degree, with up to 10% of muscle fibers being involved. Deposits stained strongly with periodic acid-Schiff and were resistant to digestion by alpha amylase but were removed by incubation with gamma amylase. Deposits were faintly positive with Gomori's methenamine silver technique and alcian blue (pH 2.5) and were brown-gray with Lugol's iodine solution but were negative with other stains. Based on staining characteristics, the deposits seemed to consist primarily of an amylopectin-like polysaccharide(s). Alcian blue staining (pH 2.5) was removed by treatment with neuraminidase but not with hyaluronidase, indicating that some sialic acid residues were also present. Electron microscopically, the deposits were composed of short granular filaments, small granules and amorphous material. They were not membrane bound. The morphologic appearance and staining characteristics of the deposits were remarkably similar to deposits previously described in human PFK-deficient myopathy. As expected, total PFK activities were markedly reduced when assayed in skeletal muscles of this dog. In contrast with other PFK-deficient dogs, muscle glycogen in this animal was not increased above that of normal dogs.  相似文献

A method for the direct counting of chicken heterophils and eosinophils using Phloxine B stain and a hemacytometer is described. A solution of 0.1% Phloxine B in 50% propylene glycol stained heterophils and eosinophils obtained from peripheral blood. The cytoplasm of heterophils became completely stained, whereas that of the eosinophils stained incompletely, thereby enabling these cells to be distinguished easily from each other. Identification of cell type was confirmed by comparing cell counts prepared from blood smears stained with Wright's stain with wet mounts (hemacytometer preparations) stained with Phloxine B.  相似文献

Thy-1 expression may influence myofibroblast development. Through the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), injured renal epithelial cells undergo regression to the metanephric mesenchymal phenotype and then acquire a myofibroblastic nature (expressing α-smooth muscle actin; α-SMA). Because the metanephric blastema differentiates into mesenchymal and renal epithelial cells, we investigated Thy-1 immunoexpression during nephrogenesis in F344 rats in correlation with vimentin and α-SMA expressions. Kidney samples were obtained from fetuses on gestation days 18 and 21, neonates on days 1-18 and adults at 6 weeks of age. Mesangial cells in S-shaped bodies and immature and mature glomeruli continuously expressed both Thy-1 and α-SMA during early nephrogenesis (fetuses and neonates on days 1-9). During early nephrogenesis, loosely-arranged blastemal cell-derived mesenchymal cells in the cortex and medulla also exhibited Thy-1 and α-SMA, although the α-SMA expression was weaker than that of Thy-1. Vimentin expression coincided with that of Thy-1. These findings indicate that the derivation of α-SMA-expressing myofibroblastic cells may be related to mesangial or blastemal cells expressing both Thy-1 and α-SMA. Interestingly, there was a difference in Thy-1 expression between cortical and medullary tubulointerstitial cells from late nephrogenesis (neonates on days 12-18) and those from adults in that the cortical cells reacted faintly or negatively to Thy-1, whereas the medullary cells reacted strongly to Thy-1; additionally, bundle-arranged mesenchymal cells that were only observed in the neonates on days 1-12 reacted strongly to α-SMA, but faintly to Thy-1. Blastemal cell-derived mesenchymal cells seem to alter the immunoexpressions of Thy-1 and α-SMA, depending on the conditions which they develop. Thy-1 immunoexpression would be useful for investigation of reverse embryogenesis, which might occur in fibrotic kidneys.  相似文献

The inner perivitelline layer (IPL) sperm hole assay provides an objective assessment of the number of sperm penetrating the hen's ovum at the germinal disc. That number will provide insight into numerous parameters concerning fertility, including, but not limited to, the probability of the ovum being fertilized (true fertility), the duration of fertility, an assessment of mating activity, the effect of inseminating in vitro-stored semen, and the influence of spiking a breeder flock. In the current paper, we discuss the use of a filter paper ring to isolate and process the IPL overlying the germinal disc (PL disc) in 5 species of domestic birds. The morphology of the PL disc is also described to assist those using the sperm hole assay during sperm hole counting. The filter ring approach was successfully used with chicken, turkey, duck, goose, and Japanese quail eggs; the PL discs remained intact and stretched across the filter ring and sperm holes, when present, were clearly discernible. Morphologically, the PL disc appeared to be a silhouette of the germinal disc, including the germinal vesicle observed in follicular oocytes. The fibers forming the IPL had a honeycomb-like arrangement that could be mistaken for actual sperm holes in faintly stained slides. Given its diversity of applications and relative simplicity using the filter ring, it is recommended that the sperm hole assay be part of a quality control program at the hatchery. Already used in the scientific community, this filter ring method has the additional advantage that the blastoderm may be collected before the staining process.  相似文献

The brain of a 6-year-old Holstein cow, which showed progressive neurologic symptoms during several months, was examined by histopathologic methods. Many round or oval-shaped cytoplasmic inclusions were observed, mainly in neurons of the temporal lobe and the hippocampus. Those inclusions were faintly eosinophilic with hematoxylin and eosin and positive with Bielschowsky's silver stain. Immunohistochemically, the inclusions were recognized by antiubiquitin and antiphosphorylated tau antibodies. Ultrastructurally, the inclusions were globular and well demarcated from the rest of the cytoplasm, lacked limiting membranes, and were mainly composed of straight fibrils about 15 nm in width. The structure of the inclusions was similar to that of Pick bodies in Pick's disease of humans. The pathogenesis of this bovine condition is not known.  相似文献

采用历史气象资料分析和参与性农户评估相结合的方法,对阿拉善荒漠区气候变化特征进行分析,并抽样研究了荒漠区牧户家庭基本状况与经营现状、牧户家庭对气候变化及其影响的感知与应对策略。结果表明,近50年阿拉善左旗和阿拉善右旗年气温呈极显著上升趋势,但年降水量总体趋势仅在波动中微弱增加。牧户对温度升高的感知与事实基本相符。牧户感知草地生态环境认为近10年草地生产力和草地植物种类已经减少;土壤沙化、草地鼠虫害和地表水减少程度增加。极端气候事件在近10年中频发,并对家畜健康和生产、草地牧草生长产生极大影响。受气候变化影响,在畜牧业生产中牧户采取主要措施是在秋季储备充足草料备用,同时结合圈养方式维持生产。未来气候变化还将持续影响牧区人民的生产生活,建议采取合理的应对措施增强荒漠区牧户对气候变化的适应能力。  相似文献

The adult Haemonchus contortus somatic antigens responsible for cross-reactivity have been analysed using serum samples from goat kids infected and reinfected with Teladorsagia circumcincta. Goat kids infected with T. circumcincta had similar serum ELISA values against somatic antigens of H. contortus as goats infected with H. contortus itself. Immunoblotting confirmed this extensive cross-reactivity particularly in the molecular weight range 105-29 kDa. However, peptides with high (195, 152 and 119 kDa) or low (23 kDa) molecular weight were only faintly recognized by heterologous sera.  相似文献

Bovine papillomaviruses (BPVs) can infect epithelial cells and fibroblasts, inducing fibropapillomas in cattle. Gap junctions are communication channels between cells composed of connexins (Cxs). This study evaluated expression of Cx26 and the major BPV oncoprotein E5 in bovine cutaneous fibropapillomas. BPV DNA was amplified from 20/20 fibropapillomas and 3/3 samples of normal skin. All fibropapillomas (20/20) were positive by immunostaining for E5, whereas the three normal skin samples were negative. Cx26 was expressed faintly in the normal skin epithelium. Positive cytoplasmic and juxtanuclear immunoreactivity for Cx26 was evident in 18/20 (90%) fibropapillomas. Western blot analysis demonstrated higher expression of Cx26 in 6/6 fibropapillomas compared to normal skin samples.  相似文献

Adult Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum ticks infected with Theileria annulata (Hissar strain) were incubated at 36 degrees C or fed on rabbits. Tick salivary glands were stained whole with methyl green pyronin or ground up and deposited on microscope slides and stained with Giemsa's solution. Separate batches of ticks from both treatments were ground up, centrifuged and filtered to produce sporozoite suspensions. The suspensions were examined as deposits on microscope slides stained with Giemsa's solution. The Theileria in the salivary glands of the fed ticks matured more completely and rapidly than in the incubated ticks. The peak numbers of sporozoites from the fed ticks was greater by at least tenfold than the peak from the incubated ticks. This peak was on the third day of feeding or on the fourth day of incubation. It was confirmed that fed ticks will be more suitable for sporozoite production for infection of cattle and production of stabilates.  相似文献

家蚕有5种血细胞,可以通过吖啶橙(acridine orange,AO)和碘化丙啶(propidium iodide,PI)染色来区分。溴化噻唑蓝四氮唑[3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide,MTT]是一种广泛应用于细胞增殖和活细胞鉴定的染色剂。通过对家蚕血细胞进行复染,即先用MTT染色,再用AO和PI染色,发现以下2种情况:很多颗粒细胞、浆细胞和所有的原血球细胞不能被MTT染色,但AO染色显示为活的细胞;被MTT染色的细胞表面有紫色纤维状物伸出,除了一部分具有伪足的颗粒细胞外,所有被MTT染色的血细胞也被PI染色,细胞核是红色。因此,利用这3种染料对家蚕血细胞复合染色来判断细胞的存活与死亡,需要仔细分析并分别对待。  相似文献
