The study dealt with the evaluation of the contents of the total serum immunoglobulins (CS-Ig), serum albumin, and with the phagocytic activity of blood leucocytes in trichophytosis-affected calves (aged 4 months), in dependence on the doses (revaccination) of the live avirulent vaccine against trichophytosis (the calf group R) and its administration with a zinc based-injection preparation (calf group ZnR). In calf group ZnR (5 mg Zn.kg-1 l. w.) there was a potentiating effect on the percentual proportion of potential blood phagocytes (compared with data before administration: P less than 0.01 on the first day, P less than 0.05 on the third, eighth and thirtieth day; in comparison with the group of calves R: P less than 0.01 during a 24h experiment) and on the percentage of phagocytic cells (compared with data before administration: P less than 0.05 the first and 30th day; compared with calf group R: P less than 0.05 in a 24h experiment. No effect on the index of phagocytic activity was observed. In both groups positive statistical significance was stated in the level of CS-Ig, as compared with the value before administration (on the 8th, 15th, 30th and 60th day of investigation, P less than 0.05, resp. 0.01), but there was no significance when the groups were compared with each other. Significant increase was stated in serum immunoglobulin concentration on the 15th day of examination within each group of calves. Its concentration in calf group ZnR was lower at the beginning of the experiment and at the end of the experiment it was almost exactly the same as in calf group R.  相似文献

We determined the thyroxine (T4) concentration in 63 heifers on 0th (day of insemination), 6th and 21st day after first and in repeat-breeder cows after second and third insemination in relation with the breed, age and weight of animals. The examination was carried out with a feed ration balanced according to the Czechoslovak State Standard CSN 46 7070, with all-the-year-round housing, with keeping the uniform time of insemination (8.00--9.00 a. m.) as well as the time of blood sampling (10.00--12.00 a. m.). The animals were inseminated from August to November. The average T4 concentrations, with a successful insemination, fluctuated on 0th day after first, second and third insemination at levels of 56.15 +/- 13.6; 84.6 +/- 10.66 and 89.75 +/- 13.62 nmol X l-1 of serum. As the results show, the lowest T4 concentrations (P less than 0.001; P less than 0.001) on 0th day were recorded in animals becoming pregnant in first insemination. The comparison with non-pregnant animals did not show any statistically significant difference in T4 concentrations. On 0th day of the second insemination, the T4 concentrations in pregnant animals were higher (P less than 0.01) as compared with non-pregnant. On 6th and 21st day after successful first insemination the T4 content increased significantly (P less than 0.001). After second and third successful insemination we recorded in T4 concentrations a moderate decrease on 6th day (P less than 0.01 for third insemination), with insignificant increase on 21st day.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Levamisole administered by oral, subcutaneous or transdermal routes following vaccination against Pasteurella multocida enhanced the humoral response in cross-bred calves. The group that received levamisole subcutaneously elicited highly significant (P less than 0.01) antibody titres during the primary humoral response in comparison with groups that received levamisole orally or transdermally. During the secondary response in the same experiment, levamisole administered subcutaneously and transdermally showed highly significant (P less than 0.01) haemagglutination titres relative to oral administration of the drug. In a second experiment, the group that received levamisole subcutaneously showed highly significant (P less than 0.01) antibody titres during the anamnestic humoral response over other treated groups.  相似文献

Two experiments were done on 57 steers. These cattle were allotted to 8 groups (4 groups/experiment) and vaccinated with 1 to 3 X 10(9) colony-forming units of Brucella abortus strain 19. Cattle in 3 of the 4 groups/experiment were given 6 mg of levamisole/kg, subcutaneously, either at the time of vaccination (day 0), 7 days later, or at both times. Serum antibody titers to B abortus were measured sequentially for 28 days in experiment 1 and for 56 days in experiment 2, using the card test, Rivanol test, complement-fixation test, fluorometric immunoassay, and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In general, the highest mean antibody titers, as determined by all serologic tests, occurred in steers treated with levamisole at 7 days after vaccination or in those treated at the time of vaccination and 7 days later. By the card test on day 56, there was a significantly (P less than 0.05) greater number of seropositive cattle among those given levamisole 7 days after seropositive cattle among those given strain 19 alone. Simultaneous administration of strain 19 and levamisole did not alter antibody responses to B abortus.  相似文献

Knowledge of pathogenesis of sexual dysfunctions at altered thyroid activity is limited by the knowledge of multiple and ubiquitous action of its hormones throughout the organism. One of the possibilities of modulatory influence of thyroid hormones on sexual functions can be realized through the participation of thyroxine and triiodothyronine in the synthesis and metabolism of primary substrate of steroid synthesis--cholesterol. The presented work is aimed at the study of simultaneous dynamic changes of concentrations of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), 17 beta-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4) and cholesterol (Chol) during synchronization of the rutting period and gravidity at parallel correlative evaluation of mutual relations of the followed parameters in ten Merino sheep in the seasonal period. Synchronization was achieved by chlorsuperlutin (Agelin--vaginal swabs, Spofa; 20 mg of chlorsuperlutin/swab) and PMSG (500 I. U./animal). Blood was sampled by means of a jugular vein puncture at the time of swab insertion (-13th day) and after three (-10th day) and seven (-7th day) following days, at the removal of swabs and application of PMSG (-3rd day), on the day of insemination (zero day), on the 7th, 14th and 17th day and in the middle of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th month of gravidity. In the phase of oestrus synchronization a significant increase of E2 concentrations on days -7 and -3 of the experiment (0.47 +/- 0.079 and 0.542 +/- 0.177 nmol.l-1 of serum, P less than 0.001; P less than 0.001) was observed compared to the E2 values on day -13 (0.084 +/- 0.036 nmol.l-1 of serum). Parallel to these observations, marked intermittent changes of T4 (Tab. I, Graph 1) were recorded with the lowest values of this parameter observed on days -10 (41.75 +/- 20.23, P less than 0.05) and -3 (50.22 +/- 18.77, P less than 0.05) and the highest on day -7 (96.77 +/- 17.51 nmol.l-1, P less than 0.01) and day zero (85.40 +/- 19.59 nmol.l-1 of serum, P less than 0.05) in comparison with the -13th day (67.22 +/- 18.29 nmol.l-1 of serum). Concentrations of P4 (Tab. I, Graph 4) declined to the lowest values on day zero observation (0.09 +/- 0.08 nmol.l-1 of serum, P less than 0.05 vs 3.40 +/- 3.61 nmol.l-1 on day -13). No significant changes of concentrations of T3 (Tab. I, Graph 2) and Chol (Tab. I, Graph 5) were observed during oestrus synchronization. During gravidity, concentrations of E2 (Tab. I Graph 3) showed an increasing trend compared to the -13th day.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Recent findings demonstrate that priming by levamisole of weaned pigs experimentally vaccinated against postweaning colibacillosis (PWC) contributes to immune protection from challenge-induced clinical disease through stimulation of the mesenteric lymph node cells that participate in cell-mediated immunity. With the objective of better understanding the mechanisms by which levamisole induces protective mucosal cell-mediated immune response to vaccination against PWC, it was tested whether the drug synergizes experimental F4ac+ Escherichia coli oral vaccine in stimulating T cells also in the jejunal lamina propria (JLP) and ileal Peyer's patch (IPP) upon virulent challenge. Commercial crossbred pigs weaned at 4 weeks were allocated into two equal groups. The experimental group was i.m. primed with levamisole at an immunostimulatory dose of 2.5 mg/kg once daily, for 3 consecutive days, and controls received saline. Both groups were vaccinated orally with the vaccinal E. coli strain on day 0 and challenged with the virulent E. coli strain 7 days later. All pigs were killed on postchallenge day 6. The results determined by immunophenotyping of isolated cells indicate that priming by levamisole of the vaccinated weaned pigs selectively recruited and activated T cells in the IPP, a lymphoid organ-generating B lymphocytes. The pig IPP is normally populated with up to 5% of CD3+ T cells and CD6 is an activation antigen expressed exclusively by T cells in swine. Therefore, a significantly higher number of CD3+ (P < 0.01) and CD6+ (P < 0.001) cells observed within the IPP follicles of the primed-vaccinated vs. unprimed-vaccinated challenge-infected pigs suggest enhanced T cell-mediated immunity in this B-cell compartment induced by the potentiating action of the drug and vaccine. The ability of levamisole to influence interaction between activated T cells and B cells in the IPP of primed-vaccinated weaned pigs, and the possibility that this interaction plays a role in regulating B-cell maturation within the IPP follicles, are discussed.  相似文献

The aim of this experiment was to establish the oxidative stress model of immune cells in mice induced by PCV2. Optimal infection titer and time of PCV2 were selected. On the 1st,2nd and 3rd day or 1st, 3rd,5th and 7th day,Kunming mice were treated with 100 PCV2 or 10-1 PCV2 by 3 ways (intraperitoneal injection, intranasal administration and intragastrical administration). 7, 14, 21 d post administration, we killed the mice. Reactive oxygen species (ROS),total glutathione (T-GSH),reduced glutathione (GSH),oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels and xanthine oxidase (XOD), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity were determined to investigate the relationship between the infection time point and the change of ROS level after PCV2 infection. Thus to establish mice immune cells oxidative stress model. The results showed that infection with 100 PCV2 virus in 3 ways every day both at day 1, 2, 3 and 1 mL per mouse was the best program for the follow-up experiment. The intracellular level of ROS of mice infected with PCV2 was extremely significantly increased both at 7, 14 and 21 d (P < 0.01);7 and 14 d post infection, GSH level of PCV2 infected mice had significant difference compared with that of control group (P < 0.05). 7 d after infection, GSSG level was extremely significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.01); 7 d after infection, T-GSH level was significantly lower than that of control group (P < 0.05), T-GSH was extremely significantly lower than that of control group at 14 d post infection (P < 0.01). XOD, MPO and iNOS activity between PCV2 infection group and blank control group were significantly different at 7 d post infection (P < 0.05). It suggested that PCV2 successfully infected mice, experimental infection programme was Kunming mice were treated with 100 PCV2 by three ways (intraperitoneal injection, intranasal administration and intragastrical administration) both at the 1st,2nd and 3rd day of the experiment.The best condition to establish the oxidative stress model of immune cells in mice was using 100 PCV2 to infect for 7 days.  相似文献

Serum concentrations of thyroxine (T4), beta-carotene (beta K), vitamin A and conception after the first insemination on the zero, sixth and 21st day were studied in 63 heifers fed synthetic beta K supplement in groups I to IV at stanchion housing and low-carotene diet. The following amount of beta K was supplemented per head/day: I--0 mg (control, n = 17), II--100 mg (n = 16), III--200 mg (n = 14) and IV--400 mg (n = 16). The parameters were evaluated separately according to groups and conception. By comparing the T4 concentration between experimental groups and control, separately in non-gravid and gravid animals, a significant increase (P less than 0.05) was determined only on the zero day in the fourth group. At the same time, in the fourth group, in comparison with the others, insignificantly lower T4 values were recorded in non-gravid animals. beta K values on the zero day in gravid animals increased in a direct proportion to the higher supplement (P less than 0.05; P less than 0.01; P less than 0.001); in non-gravid animals the increase was slower (P less than 0.05; P less than 0.05; P less than 0.01), but differences in relation to gravidity were not significant. An increase of beta K had no significant effect on serum concentrations of vitamin A. Differences between groups as far as conception was concerned were insignificant. It follows from the results that increasing rates of beta K, with the exception of serum concentrations, had no significant effect on other parameters. Higher concentrations of T4 and a slower increase of beta K in non-gravid animals, however, point at mutual co-operation relation and its positive effect on conception in animals.  相似文献

The effects of zinc administration at a rate of 3 mg/kg lw. in the preparation Zindep inj. ad usum vet. (Biotika, Slovenská L'upca) were evaluated as exerted on zinc concentrations in the blood serum of 16 dairy cows in the middle of the 7th month of pregnancy. With respect to zinc injection, T-rosetted lymphocytes and beta-lysine activity were inestigated. Blood was collected from all dairy cows from v. jugularis before the preparation was administered, on days 2, 5, 8, 15, 30 and 60 after Zindep administration. Atom absorption spectrophotometry, applying a flame technique on a Perkin Elmer 1100 apparatus (Bíres, 1986), was used to determine Zn concentrations in the blood serum of all dairy cows. T-lymphocytes were determined by a rosette test after Paul et al. (1977), and beta-lysine was detected spectrophotometrically after Bucharin et al. (1987). Zinc dynamics in the blood serum of dairy cows is presented in Fig. 1. The starting values of zinc in the test cows were 9.68 +/- 2.30 mumol/l and in the control ones 10.15 +/- 1.27 mumol/l. Zincaemia of experimental dairy cows was significantly lower (P less than 0.01) on day 2 after Zindep administration, in comparison with the control group. A significant increase in zinc concentrations in the blood serum of experimental animals, in comparison with the control ones, was observed from day 8 to day 60 (P less than 0.01). The maximum zincaemia values were recorded in experimental dairy cows within days 15 and 30 (15.65 +/- 3.33, and/or 14.55 +/- 2.10 mumol/l).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Objectivisation of the physiological course of puerpery and control of involution processes of uterus represent topical questions of an increased frequency of lambing. Our study was directed at the determination of the weight, length of body and horns of uterus as well as of the weight, length, width and height of ovaries, following the administration of carbetocin (Depotocin inj. Spofa), in the puerperal period of Slovak Merino sheep. The study was aimed at obtaining objective biometric data on uterus and ovaries and recording the influence of carbetocin on the involution of uterus and ovaries of sheep. Thirty ewes, divided into two groups, were included in the experiment. The animals of the experimental group (n = 15) were subjected to treatment with carbetocin (Depotocin inj. Spofa) at the amount 2 x 0.07 mg. The first dose was applied intramuscularly (i. m.) on the 2nd day after parturition and the second dose was injected subcutaneously (s.c.) on the 4th day after lambing. The second group (n = 15) served as a control. Three ewes (n = 3) were bled on each of the following days: 1, 7, 17, 25 and 34 after parturition. After bleeding the sexual organs were removed by excision and their weight and the length of the body and horns of uterus and of ovaries was determined. The number and size of follicles were determined on the surface of ovaries. The weight of uterus body showed a declining tendency in sheep of the control group with a statistically significant decrease from the 17th till the 34th day after parturition (P less than 0.01). Its weight varied from 56.0-14.6 to 5.2-0.3 g in the above-mentioned time interval. The experimental group showed a statistically significant decrease in weight as early as on the 7th day after lambing compared to the 1st day after parturition, down to the values 185.66-38.91 g (P less than 0.05). The decrease in the weight of uterus body recorded on day 17 (106.56-41.08 g) was less pronounced than in the control group. The final average weight of the body of uterus on the 34th day after parturition was 41.36-8.52 g, that means higher than in the control group (5.2-0.3 g). The weight of gravid horns in the experimental group declined significantly as early as on the 7th day after parturition to the average weight of 60.89-9.45 g and reached 9.86-3.49 g on the 34th day.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

The surface phenotypes of bovine intestinal leukocytes isolated from the intraepithelium (IEL), lamina propria (LPL) and Peyer's patches (PPL) of the small intestinal mucosa of normal adult cows were determined using monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific to adult bovine peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL). Laser flow cytometric (LFC) analysis demonstrated that IEL contained significantly (P less than 0.1 to 0.02) fewer cells (26%) expressing the pan T cell phenotype in comparison to LPL (38%) and PPL (44%). Similarly, significantly (P less than 0.01 to 0.001) lower numbers of B cells were observed among IEL (10%) compared to LPL (28%) and PPL (33%). While approximately equal numbers of B7A1+ "null" cells (10%) and DH59B+ "Ia+ monocytes/granulocytes" (16.5%) were observed among the three intestinal cell populations, IEL contained significantly (P less than 0.1 to 0.05) lower numbers (19%) of T helper (Th) cells in comparison to LPL (44%) and PPL (38%). In contrast, lymphocytes with the T cytotoxic/suppressor (Tc/s) phenotype were significantly lower (P less than 0.01 to 0.001) among LPL (14.5%) compared to IEL (25%) and PPL (23%). While the numbers of cells expressing class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) surface antigens (H58A+) were approximately equal among LPL (79%) and PPL (87%), a significant difference (P less than 0.02) was observed between IEL (71%) and PPL. Similarly, while approximately equal numbers of cells expressing the MHC class II surface phenotype were observed among LPL (42%) and PPL (46%), IEL contained significantly (P less than 0.01) fewer (31%) MHC class II cells in comparison to PPL. Enrichment for T cells by plastic adherence and Sephadex G-10/nylon wool fractionation revealed a significant (P less than 0.01) and proportional increase in T lymphocyte subsets expressing pan T, Th and Tc/s phenotypes among the three cell populations. Similarly, enrichment for B cells by the same techniques showed a significant (P less than 0.01) and proportional increase in cells expressing the panB cell phenotype among LPL and PPL. Marked differences in cell size distribution and cell surface density were observed when the three intestinal leukocyte populations were compared by LFC using monoclonal antibodies directed at various cell surface markers. Furthermore, considerable quantitative variations of each cell surface marker were observed among the individual animals tested. The results of this study indicate that bovine IEL, which contain a high percentage of cells (greater than 30%) with no known phenotype are significantly different from LPL and PPL which are phenotypically similar cell populations.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Thyroxine (T4) and cholesterol concentrations and their dynamic changes and differences were studied in 20 pregnant heifers 10 days before calving until 56 days after calving. Ten control heifers were fed the feed ration for pregnant heifers according to Czechoslovak Standard CSN 46 7070. The feed ration given to another ten (experimental) heifers was fortified with 300 mg of synthetic beta-carotene per head/day within the period of five months before insemination, during pregnancy and till the 56th day after parturition. As suggested by the regression function of straight line, no obvious differences were recorded in the dynamic changes of T4 before parturition and during the first days after parturition. T4 concentrations had a generally descending tendency in both groups, the lowest values being recorded in the 48th hour in the experimental group and the 24th hour in the control. A marked increase of T4 concentrations with the values significantly higher in the control group than in the experimental group was observed between the 21st and 35th day after calving. A medium increase of cholesterol concentrations was found in the heifers given rations fortified with beta-carotene. No significant differences in cholesterol concentrations were observed between the two groups, except in the 72nd hour and the seventh day. Significant T4: cholesterol correlations were recorded in the experimental animals in the first and second hours, on the 42nd day (P less than 0.05), and in the 72nd hour (P less than 0.001); in the control group these observations were made the seventh day before calving and in the sixth hour and on the 14th, 21st and 56th days (P less than 0.05) after calving. It is inferred from the results that beta-carotene interferes with the activity of the thyroid gland and the production of its hormones, and that the increases or decreases of the activity of this gland, caused by beta-carotene, influence the metabolism of cholesterol in the body.  相似文献

Postparturient anoestry, spontaneously changing over to seasonal anoestry, represents an important reserve of full utilization of the reproductive potential of sheep. In spite of the fact that the length of gestation in sheep only amounts to 148 days (+/- 5 days), inability of most sheep to enter the cycle during the spring season acts as a factor limiting the number of lambings--and at the same time production of lambs--to one lambing per year. In order to obtain more detailed knowledge of hormonal conditions in sheep puerpery, the presented work was directed at the study of dynamic changes in concentrations of thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), 17 beta-estradiol (E2), progesterone (P4) and cholesterol (Chol) in the blood serum of ewes and at their mutual correlative dependences between the 36th hour and the 51st postparturient day. The observation was carried out in nine nursing ewes of the Slovak Merino breed, with average weight 40-50 kg, lambed in January and February. Blood was sampled by means of jugular vein puncture 14 days (-14th day) before parturition (a. p.), up to 36 h after parturition (p. p.) and on day 4, 7, 14, 17, 21, 25, 34, 42 and 51 p. p. In the period from the 36th h to day 21 p. p., concentrations of T4 (Tab. I, Fig. 1) showed a decreasing tendency compared to the starting -14th day (69.55 +/- +/- 0.12 nmol.-1) with the exception of a temporary increase on the 7th day p. p. The lowest values were recorded on days 4 and 21 p. p. (45.66 +/- 21.61 nmol.l-1, P less than 0.05 and 54.89 +/- 11.06 nmol.l-1, P less than 0.05, resp.). An increase of these values to the starting level was observed between days 25 and 51 p. p. Compared to the values on -14th day (0.76 +/- 0.22 nmol.l-1), a significant increase of T3 concentrations (Tab. I, Fig. 2) was recorded at the 36th h and on days 4 and 7 p. p. with the highest values (1.48 +/- +/- 0.34 nmol.l-1, P less than 0.001) at 36 h p. p. After the temporary decrease between days 14 and 21 p. p. its concentrations showed a constantly rising tendency statistically significant on days 34, 42 and 51 p. p., compared to the -14th day (P less than 0.05). Concentrations of E2 (Tab. I, Fig. 3) reached the values of 0.44 +/- 0.41 nmol.l-1 on the -14th day.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

The effect of Fusarium-produced T-2 toxin on tumor growth was evaluated in ICR, CFW, and C57B6/6 mice inoculated with murine sarcoma, Ehrlich ascites carcinoma, or B16F1 melanoma tumor cell lines. Mice were given T-2 toxin intragastrically either at the rate of 2 mg of toxin/kg of body weight daily for 5 days or a single dosage of 4 mg of toxin/kg and were inoculated SC with tumor cells 1 or 2 days after administration of toxin. Tumor growth was assessed 15 to 41 days after tumor challenge by determining the frequency of tumor development and tumor weights. Significant increases in the frequency of development of murine sarcoma (P less than 0.005), Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (P less than 0.01), and B16F1 melanoma tumors (P less than 0.05) were detected in toxin-treated mice, compared with control mice. Murine sarcoma and B16F1 melanoma tumor weights also were significantly (P less than 0.01) higher in toxin-treated mice. The effect of T-2 toxin on tumor growth was more marked after 5 daily treatments than after a single dose.  相似文献

The effect of two infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) vaccines (IBDV-immune complex [Icx] and IBDV-2512), administered in ovo, on the cell-mediated immunity of specific-pathogen-free (SPF) broilers was examined. A decrease (P < 0.05) in the T-cell mitogenic response occurred in birds vaccinated with both vaccines on days 9 and 21 post in ovo vaccination (PIOV), but an increase (P < 0.05) occurred on day 15 PIOV. The T cells from birds given the IBDV-2512 were less responsive. There were no significant differences in proportions of lymphocytes expressing CT4+CT8 and CT8+CT4- except on day 21 PIOV, where an increase (P < 0.05) in IBDV-2512-vaccinated birds and a decrease (P < 0.05) in percentage of CT4+CT8- in IBDV-Icx-vaccinated birds was observed. There was an increase (P < 0.05) in percentage of CT8+CT4- T cells on day 21 PIOV in both vaccinated groups. A decrease (P < 0.05) in B-cell percentage was observed on day 21 PIOV in birds given both vaccines. Results indicated that although humoral immunosuppression is associated with destruction of B cells (bursal atrophy), cell-mediated immunosuppression induced by these two IBDV vaccines in SPF birds was not associated with altered helper (CT4+CT8-) or cytotoxic (CT8+CT4-) subpopulations of T lymphocytes.  相似文献
