Sodium propionate (3 mmol/kg) was injected IV into 8 nonlactating dairy cows before and after 6 days (144 hours) of fasting. During fasting, long-chain fatty acids in plasma increased from 0.30 +/- 0.05 (SE) mM to 1.09 +/- 0.15 mM (P less than 0.05). Liver fat increased from 0.5 +/- 0.3% to 9.3 +/- 1.7% (P less than 0.05). Half-life of injected sodium propionate increased significantly (P less than 0.05) from 7.6 +/- 0.5 minutes to 10.1 +/- 1.0 minutes during fasting. Sulfobromophthalein half-life did not change significantly (3.8 +/- 0.79 minutes to 5.3 +/- 1.3 minutes). Increases in plasma glucose concentrations after propionate loading were significantly less during fasting than during feeding. Thus, the change in glucose concentration served as an indicator of hepatic conversion of propionate to glucose. Increases in glucose concentration of less than 2 mM at 30 minutes after propionate loading indicated that liver function was altered in nonlactating dairy cows.  相似文献

Fasting is associated with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in several species, including the horse. Studies in ponies showed that a 3-day fast decreased plasma clearance of bilirubin, cholic acid, and sulfobromophthalein (BSP). Since these organic anions are conjugated with different substrates, it is possible that observed differences in plasma clearance result from a general decrease in hepatic conjugating capacity during the animals' fasting. To test this hypothesis, the effects of a 3-day fast on plasma clearance of IV injected BSP (4.4 to 5.1 mg/kg), which is conjugated to glutathione, and indocyanine green (ICG; 0.8 to 1.1 mg/kg), which is not conjugated, were studied in 10 healthy horses and 2 ponies with diverted enterohepatic circulations (indwelling T tubes). Blood samples were obtained for 30 minutes after injection, and bile samples from ponies were obtained for 3 hours. Fasting increased plasma bilirubin concentration in all animals studied (from 1.03 +/- 0.337 mg/dl in control animals to 3.49 +/- 1.01 mg/dl in fasted animals). Kinetic values of ICG disappearance were determined from single exponential functions, and those for BSP were determined from both single and curvilinear (2-exponential) functions. Plasma clearance of BSP in fed horses (8.65 +/- 1.02 ml X min-1 X kg-1) was greater than clearance of ICG (3.54 +/- 0.67 ml X min-1 X kg-1), results similar to those reported in dogs, cats, rats, and persons. Fasting significantly decreased fractional plasma disappearance rate of both BSP (-36%) and ICG (-58%) and similarly reduced plasma clearance (BSP,-48%; ICG,-55%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Established renal function tests for the quantitative determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in small animals by means of an exogenous clearance marker like creatinine are based on the intravenous or subcutaneous administration of the marker. In order to simplify performing the test, the suitability of the peroral administration of the marker substance was tested. Exogenous creatinine was administered to 17 Beagle dogs successively by the peroral (dose: 4 g/m2 BSA) and the subcutaneous route (dose: 2 g/m2 BSA). Both routes were tested sequentially in fasted and fed animals. In addition to the peroral administration of creatinine, the absorption marker D-Xylose (dose: 0.5 g/kg body weight) was given per os. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated based on serum concentration--time data of both markers. Maximum serum concentrations of the exogenous creatinine (C(max) = 1284 +/- 173 micromol/l) were observed 92 +/- 19 min post-dose (t(max)) in fasted dogs after peroral administration of creatinine. C(max) (956 +/- 209 micromol/l) and t(max) (67 +/- 13 min) were statistically significantly reduced in fed animals. The exogenous plasma clearance of creatinine was about 1/3 lower in fasted animals (94 +/- 15 ml/min/m2) than in fed ones (134 +/- 28 ml/min/m2). The apparent terminal disposition half-life of the exogenous creatinine showed mean values of about 170 min (fasted) and 200 min (fed). After peroral administration of D-Xylose, fasted animals showed higher C(max) (3.9 +/- 0.99 mmol/l) and t(max) values (60 +/- 18 min) than fed dogs (C(max) = 2.2 +/- 0.55 mmol/l, t(max) = 40 +/- 15 min). C(max) and t(max) did not differ between fed and fasted dogs after subcutaneous administration of creatinine. Creatinine clearance was again higher in fed (124 +/- 12.8 ml/min/m2) than in fasted dogs (104 +/- 9.0 ml/min/m2) after subcutaneous administration of the marker. The terminal disposition half-live was, however, similar with about 130-140 min. The route of administration (peroral vs. subcutaneous) did not influence the calculated clearance (no statistical significance when p < 0.01 is required). Creatinine in a dose of 4 g/m2 BSA can be administered by the peroral route of administration for assessing the GFR. For the quantitative determination of GFR standardized condition are required, i.e. animals have to be fasted for > or = 6 hours.  相似文献

Nineteen cats were given 3 mg of gentamicin sulfate/kg of body weight by rapid IV, SC, or IM injection for baseline values. Serum concentration of gentamicin vs time data were analyzed using a noncompartmental model based on statistical moment theory. One week later, each cat was given 0.5 microgram of Escherichia coli endotoxin/kg, IV. After cats had an increase in rectal temperature of at least 1 C, 3 mg of gentamicin/kg was administered by the same route used the previous week. Serum concentration of gentamicin vs time data were analyzed, and pharmacokinetic values were compared with base-line values. For IV studies, the half-life (t1/2) of gentamicin and the mean residence time were significantly different (P less than 0.05) compared with base line, whereas the total body clearance and apparent volume of distribution at steady state were not. The harmonic mean +/- pseudo SD for the t1/2 of gentamicin after IV administration was 76.8 +/- 12.6 minutes for base line and was 65.2 +/- 12.2 minutes in the same cats given endotoxin. The t1/2 of gentamicin after SC administration was 74.6 +/- 6.2 minutes for base line and was 65.2 +/- 13.6 minutes in the same cats given endotoxin. After IM administration, the t1/2 of gentamicin was 60.3 +/- 10 minutes for base line and was 59.7 +/- 13.6 minutes in the same cats given endotoxin. After IV administration of gentamicin, the arithmetic mean +/- SD for the mean residence time was 102.4 +/- 16.1 minutes for base line vs 79.2 +/- 18.4 minutes in the same cats given endotoxin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

We compared the ability of tolazoline and yohimbine to antagonize xylazine-induced central nervous system depression, bradycardia, and tachypnea in 9 ewes and 5 rams. Once a week for 3 weeks, each sheep received one IV treatment of 0.4 mg xylazine/kg, 0.4 mg xylazine/kg followed in 10 minutes by 2 mg tolazoline/kg, or 0.4 mg xylazine/kg followed in 10 minutes by 0.2 mg yohimbine/kg. The order of the 3 treatments in each sheep was randomized. Xylazine alone caused recumbency for 41.0 +/- 3.7 minutes (mean +/- SEM). Tolazoline and yohimbine shortened the xylazine-induced recumbency to 12.1 +/- 0.9 minutes and 18.1 +/- 1.5 minutes, respectively. Sheep given xylazine alone had head droop for 34.0 +/- 5.4 minutes after rising. Head drooping of sheep given tolazoline or yohimbine was reduced to 10.1 +/- 1.7 minutes and 14.2 +/- 1.7 minutes, respectively. Both tolazoline and yohimbine reversed the bradycardia and tachypnea that followed xylazine administration. No statistical differences in the rate and magnitude of the reversal were observed between the 2 drugs.  相似文献

The application of a serial sampling technique for assessing bromosulphthalein (BSP) clearance by the liver of sheep is described. After a single intravenous injection BSP was almost completely cleared by the liver into the bile. Clearance by the liver was in two phases which allowed the calculation of the proportionality transfer constants a (from plasma to liver), h (from liver to bile) and b (from liver back to plasma). The ratio of a:h was approximately 4:1 in sheep. The proportionality transfer constants had the advantage over fractional clearance and retention tests of relating the test more precisely to the condition of the liver at the cellular level. The single injection method was simple, non-invasive and repeatable and suitable for conscious animals.  相似文献

Ceftriaxone was administered to Israeli-Friesian male calves by IV and IM routes. The antibiotic was administered IV (10 mg/kg) to 10 calves and IM to 23 calves; 8 were given the antibiotic at the rate of 10 mg/kg of body weight, 5 were given 20 mg/kg, and 10 were given 10 mg/kg, together with probenecid at 40 mg/kg. Serum concentration vs time profiles measured after IV and IM administration were analyzed by use of statistical moment theory. The following mean values +/- SD were found: elimination half-life (t1/2) was 83.8 +/- 8.6 minutes after IV administration and significantly longer 116.8 +/- 20.5 minutes (P less than 0.001) after IM administration at 10 mg/kg. The t1/2 was increased to 141.3 +/- 24.4 minutes by the coadministration of probenecid and to 145.0 +/- 48.2 minutes by doubling the IM dosage to 20 mg/kg. The total body clearance was 3.39 +/- 0.42 ml/min/kg and the renal clearance 2.37 +/- 0.74 ml/min/kg. The specific volume of distribution was 0.2990 +/- 0.0510 L/kg. The average mean residence time (MRT) was 94.0 +/- 12.3 minutes after IV administration and 137.6 +/- 19.9 minutes after IM administration of ceftriaxone at 10 mg/kg. The MRT was increased to 198 +/- 48.8 minutes by the coadministration of probenecid and to 191.0 +/- 59.4 minutes by doubling the IM dose. The former value was significantly different from the MRT after IM administration of the antibiotic at 10 mg/kg. Bioavailability of ceftriaxone after IM administration at 10 mg/kg and at 20 mg/kg was 78% and 83%, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Single and multiple dose gentamicin regimens were compared in sheep to determine the relevant pharmacokinetic differences. Seven mature sheep were given 10 mg/kg of gentamicin by IV bolus. Serum concentrations were monitored for 19 days. Four weeks after the initial bolus, gentamicin was administered IM (3 mg/kg every 8 hours) for 7 days. Ewes were euthanatized and necropsied at 1, 8, and 15 days after termination of the IM regimen and the tissues were assayed for gentamicin. Serum concentrations were analyzed using a triexponential equation. The IV kinetic studies revealed an alpha half-life (t1/2) of 0.31 +/- 0.14 hours, beta t1/2 of 2.4 +/- 0.5 hours, and gamma t1/2 of 30.4 +/- 18.9 hours. Multiple IM dose kinetic studies revealed a beta t1/2 of 2.8 +/- 0.6 hours and gamma t1/2 of 82.1 +/- 17.8 hours. After multiple dosing, gamma t1/2 was significantly longer than after the single IV bolus (P less than 0.05). Twenty-four hour urine collection accounted for 75% to 80% of the total IV dose. Renal cortical gentamicin concentration reached 224 micrograms/g of tissue and then decreased, with a 90-hour t1/2. Renal medullary gentamicin concentration reached 18 micrograms/g with a 42-day t1/2. After multiple dosing, liver gentamicin concentration reached 11 micrograms/g and skeletal muscle concentrations were less than or equal to 0.6 micrograms/g. Route or duration of administration significantly affected the gamma-phase serum concentrations, which may influence gentamicin nephrotoxicosis. The present study also illustrated the complexities in predicting aminoglycoside withdrawal times for food-producing animals before slaughter.  相似文献

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) -induced hepatotoxicity is a commonly used model for investigating lipid peroxidation-related tissue injury. In the present study, the effect of flaxseed extract was observed on histological sections, glutathione-content and DNA strand breaks. Lignan-containing flaxseed extract (1.6 g/kg body weight/day) was daily administered with intragastric injection to rats for three days, on the fourth day, CCl(4) (2 g/kg) was intraperitoneally injected. Liver tissue was sampled at 24 hr after administering CCl(4). Liver-necrosis was observed in CCl(4)-injected rats without pretreatment of flaxseed extract. Pretreatment of flaxseed extract reduced extent of the necrosis found 24 hr after the intraperitoneal administration of CCl(4). Pretreatment of flaxseed extract protect against CCl(4)-induced decrease of reduced glutathione-content measured from reactions with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) and also protect against the elevation of DNA strand breaks in the liver cells measured by comet assay. Flaxseed-extract appears to protect liver cells against CCl(4)-induced necrosis.  相似文献

Thirty-six fasted, mixed horse breed geldings (6 groups of 6 animals each) were anesthetized with xylazine and ketamine, and when maximally sedated, were given 1 of the following antagonists: saline solution, 4-aminopyridine (4-AP), small-dose yohimbine, large-dose yohimbine, 4-AP plus low-dose yohimbine, or 4-AP plus high-dose yohimbine. Measured data included mean standing time (MST), heart rate, respiratory rate, rectal temperature, and mean total recovery time ( MTRT ). Emergence phenomena were also observed and recorded as smooth, fairly smooth, fairly rough, or rough. Groups given 4-AP alone, small-dose yohimbine alone, or large-dose yohimbine alone produced a significant (P less than 0.05) decrease in MST (9.9 +/- 1.6 minutes, 11.3 +/- 1.7 minutes, and 10.6 +/- 2.3 minutes, respectively) compared with that in the saline control group (24.3 +/- 9.2 minutes). The MTRT were not significantly (P greater than 0.05) different (47.2 +/- 10 minutes, 90.4 +/- 15.1 minutes, and 83.2 +/- 23 minutes, respectively) from control values (66.2 +/- 13.4 minutes). When the antagonists were combined, 4-AP plus small-dose yohimbine and 4-AP plus large-dose yohimbine produced significant (P less than 0.05) decreases (10.3 +/- 2 minutes and 8.3 +/- 2.6 minutes, respectively) in MST compared with that of saline controls. The MTRT was significantly longer in the combined antagonist group (4-AP + small-dose yohimbine--131.8 +/- 28.9 minutes; 4-AP + large-dose yohimbine--131.3 +/- 19.4 minutes) compared with that of control or any antagonist alone.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

There are no precise data concerning the effect of cerulein on the small-intestinal migrating motor complex (MMC) in sheep. Thus, the effort was directed towards the elucidation of the role of cerulein, a cholecystokinin (CCK) amphibian analogue, in the regulation of MMC cycle in conscious fasted and non-fasted sheep in various regions of the small intestine. In six sheep, equipped with bipolar electrodes in the entire small intestine and with one duodenal strain gauge force transducer in four of these animals, the continuous myoelectric and motor activity recordings were performed. During control period, two normal consecutive MMC cycles were recorded in fasted and non-fasted animals and then cerulein was slowly injected at the dose 1 (during 30 s), 10 (during 30 s or 60 s) or 100 ng/kg (during 30 s, 60 s or 120 s) or infused at the dose 0.5 or 1.5 ng/kg/min during 60 min. After cerulein administration at least two consecutive MMC cycles were also recorded. It was found that cerulein in moderate and higher doses injected in both fasted and non-fasted animals, especially during phase 2a or 2b MMC, inhibited phase 3 in the duodenum in at least one-third of the experiments and significantly increased the MMC cycle duration. The application of 100 ng/kg of cerulein during 120 s in the course of phase 2b MMC prolonged cycle duration from 70 +/- 21 to 113 +/- 19 min (p < 0.05) or from 51 +/- 18 to 113 +/- 19 min (p < 0.01) in fasted and non-fasted sheep respectively. The first phase 3 MMC arriving after cerulein administration at the highest dose was usually abnormal in approximately 60% of the experiments. The second phase 3 observed following the hormone injection was abnormal much less frequently and to the lesser extent. Furthermore, both cerulein doses significantly shortened the duration of phase 3 MMC either in fasted (from approximately 5.5-6.5 cpm to 4-5 cpm) or in non-fasted sheep (from approximately 4.5-5.5 to 3-4.5 cpm). The effects of cerulein exhibited the dose-response character. They were more pronounced when cerulein was injected during phase 2b or 2a MMC when compared with phase 1 MMC. The effects of cerulein on the ileal MMC were less evident, although the inhibition of the ileal phase 3 in response to both higher injected doses was observed occasionally. Infusions of cerulein in non-fasted sheep exerted similar effects as cerulein injections. It was stated that cerulein exerts marked regulatory effect upon the small-intestinal MMC in sheep. Although it remains uncertain whether the efficient doses of cerulein used in the present study correspond to physiological or pharmacological doses of CCK it seems likely that most of these doses were physiological. Thus, it is concluded that cerulein participates in the control of MMC cycles in the digestive and interdigestive states in sheep. It is possible that CCK is a physiological regulator of the ovine small-intestinal MMC.  相似文献

The elimination of bromsulphthalein (BSP) and indocyanine green (ICG) from plasma and urinary excretion of BSP were investigated in healthy cats. At 5 mg kg-1, BSP elimination fitted a two-compartment open model, with mean t1/2 beta of 7.1 (SD 2.5) minutes. A tendency for slower elimination of BSP at 10 mg kg-1 suggested saturation of excretory mechanisms, while at 2 mg kg-1 accurate dosing and assay of low BSP concentrations were difficult. Urinary recovery of BSP at 5 mg kg-1 was 0.01 to 0.13 per cent of the total dose. Plasma ICG (0.5 mg kg-1) data fitted a one-compartment open model, with mean t1/2 2.7 (SD 1.0) minutes. In cats, retention tests are more attractive than clearance tests because fewer blood collections are necessary. Proposed reference values are under 3.6 per cent retention of BSP (5 mg kg-1) at 30 minutes and under 17.5 per cent retention of ICG (0.5 mg kg-1) at 15 minutes. At present economic and technical factors favour BSP over ICG.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether hypertonic saline infusion would prevent hypotension and pituitary-adrenocortical axis activation during halothane anesthesia after acepromazine premedication and thiopental induction in sheep. STUDY DESIGN: Randomized crossover study. ANIMALS: Six Welsh Mountain ewes weighing 40+/-2 kg and aged 2 to 3 years. METHODS: The sheep were studied on two occasions with 2 weeks between anesthetics. After acepromazine premedication, anesthesia was induced with thiopental and maintained for 120 minutes with halothane. During the first 15 minutes of anesthesia, 7.5% saline (4 mL/kg) was infused intravenously (HS group), but no infusion was given in the control (CONT) group. Sequential blood samples were taken for blood gas, cortisol, adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), glucose, and lactate assay. RESULTS: Hypotension developed in both treatments; blood pressure decreased to a nadir of 58+/-5 mm Hg in the HS group and to 63+/-4 mm Hg in the CONT group (P>.05). Plasma cortisol increased significantly in both groups, reaching a peak of 420+/-130 nmol/L in HS and 483+/-157 nmol/L in CONT (P>.05). ACTH increased similarly in both groups, reaching 128+/-64 pmol/L in HS and 134+/-55 pmol/L in CONT (P>.05). pH was slightly higher in CONT, but no other differences were detected between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Hypertonic saline did not ameliorate the adrenocortical response during anesthesia; this may be a result of its failure to prevent the hypotension.  相似文献

Propionate utilisation by the liver in spontaneously ketotic dairy cows was investigated by determining blood glucose levels after an intravenous sodium propionate load (2.5 mmol kg-1). In addition, blood ketone body concentrations were measured after propionate loading. Cows were divided into three groups (control, mildly ketotic and severely ketotic) by their blood acetoacetate concentrations. Plasma glucose concentrations increased significantly after sodium propionate injection in all three groups (P less than 0.05). The maximum glucose concentration occurred earlier in the control group than in the ketotic groups. Changes in glucose concentrations following propionate loading of control and ketotic cows differed significantly at 20 minutes and beyond. Differences in the change in glucose concentration between mildly ketotic and severely ketotic cows were not significant. Acetoacetate concentration was significantly decreased at five minutes and beyond after the injection in ketotic cows, whereas beta-hydroxybutyrate concentration decreased more slowly. A decrease in beta-hydroxybutyrate concentration was significant at 40 minutes and beyond in the severely ketotic group and at 10 minutes and beyond in the mildly ketotic group after loading.  相似文献

Serum concentrations of arginase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) in dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep and pigs were determined before and after oral administration of CCl(4) at doses known to cause hepatic necrosis. Following CCl(4) administration, serum concentration of arginase and SGOT increased to a level of diagnostic significance in all animals. SGPT increased markedly in dogs and cats and marginally in 1 of 3 cattle and 2 of 3 pigs. In the surviving animals, the serum concentration of arginase returned to normal range much earlier than SGPT or SGOT. Based on the CCl(4) experimental toxicity results of this study, an elevated level of serum arginase would appear to be a reliable indicator of hepatic necrosis in both small and large animals whereas SGPT would be a reliable indicator of hepatic necrosis only in dogs and cats.  相似文献

Thirty-one samples of pasture grass from districts surrounding Karatina, Kenya were analysed for contents of copper, molybdenum, zinc and sulphur. The following mean values and standard deviations were found: Copper: 8.2 +/- 5.0 mg/kg DM; molybdenum: 1.4 +/- 2.6 mg/kg DM; zinc: 33 +/- 10 mg/kg DM and sulphur: 0.17 +/- 0.06% DM. Mean value of the ratio between copper and molybdenum was 13 +/- 11. Samples of cattle liver (n = 96) and sheep liver (n = 93) were analysed for copper and zinc with the following results: Cattle liver: 21 +/- 16 mg Cu/kg WW and 37 +/- 11 mg Zn/kg WW. Sheep liver: 59 +/- 37 mg Cu/kg WW and 30 +/- 6.4 mg Zn/kg WW. It is concluded that subclinical copper deficiency may occur in cattle in the districts included in the investigation. The copper status of sheep seems to be adequate. The levels of zinc may indicate a marginal intake of this element in sheep.  相似文献

Effect of yohimbine on xylazine-induced immobilization in white-tailed deer   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Two groups of white-tailed deer were given IM injections of xylazine with a projectile syringe. Deer in one of the groups served as controls and did not receive any treatments other than xylazine. Deer in the other group were given yohimbine IV at various times (15 to 171 minutes) to evaluate its effect on xylazine-induced immobilization. In 5 control deer given 3.7 +/- 1.2 mg of xylazine/kg (mean +/- SD), onset of recumbency was 13 +/- 2 minutes and time to standing was 268 +/- 76 minutes. In 20 principal deer given 2.8 +/- 1.0 mg of xylazine/kg, onset of recumbency was 8 +/- 7 minutes, time to sitting after giving yohimbine was 3 +/- 4 minutes in 18 of the deer, and time to standing after giving yohimbine was 4 +/- 5 minutes in 19 of the deer. Most of these deer were still moderately sedated 30 minutes after injection of yohimbine, but none of them became reimmobilized or as deeply sedated as before the injection of yohimbine. Yohimbine also reversed the bradycardia and respiratory depression induced by xylazine.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a combined transcutaneous carbon dioxide pressure (tcPCO(2)) and pulse oximetry sensor in sheep and dogs. ANIMALS: 13 adult sheep and 11 adult dogs. PROCEDURES: During inhalation anesthesia, for the first 10 minutes following sensor placement, arterial blood gas was analyzed and tcPCO(2) was recorded every 2 minutes. Subsequently, the animals were hyper-, normo-, and hypoventilated. The simultaneously obtained tcPCO(2) and PaCO(2) values were analyzed by use of Bland-Altman statistical analysis. RESULTS: Mean +/- SD overall difference between tcPCO(2) and PaCO(2) 10 minutes after sensor application was 13.3 +/- 8.4 mm Hg in sheep and 8.9 +/- 12 mm Hg in dogs. During hyper-, normo-, and hypoventilation, mean difference (bias) and precision (limits of agreement [bias +/- 2 SD]) between tcPCO(2) and PaCO(2) values were 13.2 +/- 10.4 mm Hg (limits of agreement, -7.1 and 33.5 mm Hg) in sheep and 10.6 +/- 10.5 mm Hg (limits of agreement, -9.9 and 31.2 mm Hg) in dogs, respectively. Changes in PaCO(2) induced by different ventilation settings were detected by the tcPCO(2) sensor with a lag (response) time of 4.9 +/- 3.5 minutes for sheep and 6.2 +/- 3.6 minutes for dogs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The tcPCO(2) sensor overestimated PaCO(2) in sheep and dogs and followed changes in PaCO(2) with a considerable lag time. The tcPCO(2) sensor might be useful for noninvasive monitoring of changes but cannot be used as a surrogate measure for PaCO(2).  相似文献

Eighty-five male Han-Wistar rats were arranged into three groups: CCl4-exposed rats, CCl4 + betaine-exposed rats, and control rats. To see the effect of betaine alone, five rats of the control and of the CCl4 + betaine groups were sacrificed after 7 days, before exposure to CCl4. After that, two of the groups (the CCl4 and CCl4 + betaine groups) were exposed to CCl4 (1 ml/kg per day subcutaneously [SC] for 4 consecutive days), and one of the groups (control group) was given olive oil (1 ml/kg per day SC for 4 consecutive days). At the start of the study (day 0), day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4, and 3 days after the last CCl4 and olive oil injections (day 7), samples of five rats per group were sacrificed, and the livers were taken for chemical analyses and histological examination. Oral betaine, after the acclimation period of a week, increased the number of mitochondria but not mitochondria size (day 0), compared with the case in control rats. Exposure to CCl4 resulted in centrilobular hepatic steatosis, and the administration of betaine significantly reduced this. Morphometric analyses also revealed that the addition of betaine increased the volume density of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) in the perinuclear areas of liver cell cytoplasm (day 7). Additionally, the administration of betaine prevented the reduction of Golgi complexes and mitochondrial figures in the cytoplasm observed after the exposures to CCl4. Also, the volume density of mitochondria was smallest in the CCl4-group, but the difference was not statistically significant. The results indicate that oral betaine either improves recovery or reduces the toxic effects of CCl4 on cell organelles in liver cells of male Han-Wistar rats.  相似文献

Cardiopulmonary effects of a tiletamine-zolazepam combination in sheep   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
To assess the effects on heart and lung function, a tiletamine-zolazepam (TZ) anesthetic combination was evaluated in 10 Dorset-type ewes. Ewes were randomly allotted to 2 equal groups. Ewes of groups 1 and 2 were given a single bolus of TZ (12 and 24 mg/kg of body weight, IV, respectively) at time zero. Hemodynamic, pulmonary, and ventilation variables were measured at 15-minute intervals to 120 minutes. Blood gas variables were evaluated at 5-minute intervals for the first 30 minutes, then at 15-minute intervals to 120 minutes. In all sheep, TZ administration induced rapid, smooth induction, with gradual and unremarkable recovery. Anesthesia duration was not significantly different between groups (mean +/- SD, 39 +/- 5 and 40 +/- 14 minutes for groups 1 and 2, respectively). Immediate drug effects included apnea, decreased mean arterial blood pressure, and arterial hypoxemia. Cardiac output was significantly decreased in both groups at all times after drug administration. Significant changes in group-1 ewes included increased pulmonary and systemic vascular resistances and decreased inspired minute ventilation, tidal volume, and respiratory airflow. Significant changes in group-2 ewes included increased systemic vascular resistance and decreased pulmonary arterial pressure, inspired minute ventilation, and respiratory airflow. Both drug dosages induced apneustic breathing patterns and caused significant changes in arterial and venous blood hemoglobin concentrations and PCV. Tiletamine-zolazepam is useful for intermediate-duration anesthesia in sheep.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
