Probable lumbar acute non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion in a cat with acute onset paraparesis     

Chow K  Beatty JA  Voss K  Barrs VR 《Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery》2012,14(10):764-767

A spinal cord lesion localised caudal to the L6 spinal segment was diagnosed in a 2-year-old female spayed domestic longhair cat with acute onset paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging findings were consistent with an acute, non-compressive nucleus pulposus extrusion of the L5-L6 intervertebral disc. The cat was successfully managed with supportive care, including cage confinement.  相似文献   

Lipidemic Response of Hamsters to Rice Bran,Uncooked or Processed White and Brown Rice,and Processed Corn Starch     

T. S. Kahlon  F. I. Chow 《Cereal Chemistry》2000,77(5):673-678

This study was undertaken to evaluate the lipidemic response of rice bran and the possible enhancement of its healthful properties by using raw or processed white or brown rice in place of corn starch. All diets contained 10% total dietary fiber, 15% fat, and 0.5% cholesterol. Weanling male golden Syrian hamsters were fed cellulose control (CC), processed corn starch (PCS), cellulose with processed brown rice (CPBR), rice bran (RB), RB with white rice (RBWR), RB with processed white rice (RBPWR), RB with brown rice (RBBR), and RB with processed brown rice (RBPBR) diets. After three weeks, the PCS diet significantly lowered total plasma cholesterol (TC) compared with the CC, CPBR, RBWR, and RBPBR diets. RB and RBBR diets significantly lowered TC and LDL‐C compared with CPBR diet. All the RB‐containing and PCS diets significantly lowered liver cholesterol and liver lipid content. Processing white rice increased TDF content 240% and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) 360%, whereas soluble dietary fiber (SDF) decreased by 25%. Uncooked brown rice contained 7 times as much TDF as uncooked white rice. Processing brown rice decreased its TDF, IDF and SDF contents by 12, 6, and 42%, respectively. The data suggest that a possible mechanism for cholesterol‐lowering by rice bran, with or without added raw or processed rice (white or brown), is by decreasing lipid digestibility and increasing neutral sterol excretion, whereas cholesterol‐lowering by processed corn starch is mediated through other mechanisms.  相似文献   

Effect of Extrusion on Hypocholesterolemic Properties of Rice,Oat, Corn,and Wheat Bran Diets in Hamsters     

T. S. Kahlon  R. H. Edwards  F. I. Chow 《Cereal Chemistry》1998,75(6):897-903

Brans from rice, oats, corn, and wheat were cooked in a twin-screw extruder at either high or low energy input, and their cholesterol-lowering effects were compared with those of unprocessed brans when fed to four-week-old male golden Syrian hamsters (n = 10 per treatment) for three weeks. Peanut oil was added to oat, corn, and wheat bran during the extrusion process to match the oil content of rice bran. Diets contained 10% total dietary fiber, 10.3% fat, 3% nitrogen, and 0.3% cholesterol. Plasma and liver cholesterol and total liver lipids were significantly lower with low-energy extruded wheat bran compared with unprocessed wheat bran. Extrusion did not alter the hypocholesterolemic effects of rice, oat, or corn brans. Plasma and liver cholesterol levels with corn bran were similar to those with oat bran. Relative cholesterol-lowering effects of the brans, determined with pooled (extruded and unextruded) bran data, were rice bran > oat bran > corn bran > wheat bran. Rice bran diets resulted in significantly lower levels of total plasma cholesterol and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol compared with all other brans. Total liver cholesterol and liver cholesterol concentrations (mg/g) were significantly lower with high-energy extruded rice bran compared with the cellulose control group. Plasma cholesterol and total liver cholesterol values with low-energy extruded wheat bran were similar to those with rice bran (unextruded or extruded) diets. Lowered cholesterol with rice bran diets may result in part from greater lipid and sterol excretion with these diets. Results with low-energy extruded wheat bran suggest that this type of processing may improve the potential for lowering cholesterol with wheat bran products.  相似文献

Effects of acid and alkaline pretreatment on the discoloration rates of dark muscle and myoglobin extract of skinned tilapia fillet during iced storage     

Chau-Jen Chow  Jing-Iong Yang  Pei-Fen Lee  Yoshihiro Ochiai 《Fisheries Science》2009,75(6):1481-1488

Discoloration profiles of dark muscle of skinned tilapia fillets were examined during iced storage after pretreatment with lactic acid (LA) or sodium carbonate (SC). During the subsequent storage, the a* values decreased gradually, and changed more rapidly when the pH was lower than 6.3. The fillet pretreated with 10% (v/v) LA exhibited the highest metmyoglobin formation ratio (MetMb%), followed by the fillet pretreated with 5% (v/v) LA, the control fillet, and the fillet pretreated with 10% (w/v) SC. The sample pretreated with 10% LA showed a marked decrease in the a* value. Discoloration of the control was not observed until the ninth day of iced storage, and no discoloration was observed up to the 11th day for the fillet pretreated with 10% SC. These fillet discoloration profiles were subsequently verified using the myoglobin (Mb) fraction prepared from the dark muscle. MetMb% of the Mb fraction gradually increased during storage, and this increase accelerated at pH values of <6.3. Discoloration of the Mb fraction also showed a similar tendency, and no significant discoloration was observed at pH values of >6.5. These results suggest that pH greatly affects the discoloration rate of the dark muscle of skinned fillet, and the critical pH for the accelerated autooxidation of tilapia Mb is in the range 6.3–6.5.  相似文献

Ventral Bulla Osteotomy for Treatment of Otitis Media in a Rabbit     

Eric P. Chow  R. Avery Bennett  Lynn Dustin 《Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine》2009,18(4):299-305

This article describes the management of otitis media in a domestic rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) that presented with a history of chronic upper respiratory disease. Deep nasal culture yielded a pure growth of Bordetella bronchiseptica susceptible to chloramphenicol. To further evaluate recurring clinical signs after treatment with chloramphenicol, skull radiographs were obtained and showed an increased density in the right tympanic bulla. A ventral bulla osteotomy was performed, and the success of treatment was determined by the resolution of respiratory signs and the absence of increased radiographic density in the right tympanic bulla 5 months postoperatively.  相似文献
