Gestational diabetes mellitus with diabetic ketoacidosis in a Yorkshire terrier bitch     

Armenise A  Pastorelli G  Palmisano A  Sontas HB  Romagnoli S 《Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association》2011,47(4):285-289

A 6 yr old pregnant Yorkshire terrier bitch presented 62 days after mating with an acute history of vomiting and coughing. The owners also reported that the dog was polyuric and polydypsic for the last 2 weeks. Complete blood count, serum biochemistry, and urinalysis revealed hyperglycemia, ketonemia, ketonuria, and metabolic acidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis was diagnosed and after emergency treatment, including fluid therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, and regular insulin, the bitch whelped six healthy normal puppies. Two weeks after treatment, the bitch was clinically normal with normal fructosamine levels. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of gestational diabetes mellitus in a small breed dog.  相似文献   

The rotavirus genus     

Gianfranco Donelli  Fabiana Superti 《Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases》1994,17(3-4):305-320

Human rotaviruses, discovered nearly 20 years ago, have been proven to be major cause of paediatric diarrhoeal disease morbidity and mortality. The clinical significance of these viruses stimulated basic studies on their biology, molecular and antigenic properties and epidemiology. General features, clinical relevance, epidemiologic pattern and laboratory diagnosis of human rotavirus infections are here reviewed.  相似文献

Karyomorphological and heterochromatin similarities among fourVigna species     

Domenico Pignone  Incoronata Galasso  Gianfranco Venoral 《Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution》1995,42(1):57-60

Summary Karyomorphological similarities among four species of the genusVigna, V. unguiculata, V. luteola, V. oblongifolia andV. vexillata, were evaluated. Two different approaches were followed: cytomorphometrical determinations, carried out with an automated image analysis system to improve resolution, yielded some karyotypical indices; the distribution of heterochromatin bands was interpreted using a recently reported algorithm. Both methods led to similar results: the most karyologically similar species toV. unguiculata appears to beV. luteola, whileV. oblongifolia appears to be the least related one.  相似文献

Nutritional evaluation of some commercial wheat varieties grown in Pakistan     

M. Akmal Khan  Iftikhar A. Rana  Ihsan Ullah 《Plant foods for human nutrition (Dordrecht, Netherlands)》1987,37(3):253-260

The nutritive value of some commercial wheat varieties grown in Pakistan was measured chemically, including amino acid analysis, and biologically in N-balance experiments with growing rats. The protein content ranged from 13.2% in Punjab-83 to 16% in Barani-83. Lysine per 100g protein varied between 2.46 and 2.75%. The available carbohydrate ranged from 67.3 to 74.7%. Iron content was highest in Sonalika while the concentration of zinc and manganese was highest in Sarhad-82. The protein digestibility (TD), biological value (BV) and net protein utilisation (NPU) varied between 92–95%, 56–68% and 53–65% respectively. Level of wheat protein was negatively correlated with available carbohydrate (r=–0.93), lysine per unit protein (r=–0.67) and BV (r=–0.76). The lysine content (g/16gN) of commercial wheat varieties showed a positive correlation (r=+0.95) with the BV. The protein quality was lowered in varieties having higher content of protein.  相似文献   

Enhancing micronutrient uptake and yield of wheat through bacterial PGPR consortia     

Anuj Rana  Lata Nain  Radha Prasanna  Yashbir S. Shivay 《Soil Science and Plant Nutrition》2013,59(5):573-582

A pot experiment was undertaken under net house conditions, with three rhizobacterial strains AW1 (Bacillus sp.), AW5 (Providencia sp.) and AW7 (Brevundimonas sp.), applied along with 2/3 recommended dose of nitrogen (N) and full dose of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizers (N₉₀P₆₀K₆₀). An enhancement of 14–34% in plant biometric parameters and 28–60% in micronutrient content was recorded in treatments receiving the combination of AW1?+?AW5 strains, as compared to full dose of fertilizer application. The treatment involving inoculation with AW5?+?AW7 recorded highest values of % P and N, with a two-fold enhancement in phosphorus and 66.7% increase in N content, over full dose application of P and K fertilizers. A significant correlation was recorded between plant biomass, panicle weight, grain weight, N, P and iron (Fe) with acetylene reduction activity, indicating the significance of N fixation in overall crop productivity. Our study illustrates the multiple benefits of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation in integrated nutrient management and biofortification strategies for wheat crop.  相似文献   

Variation in vegetation composition,biomass production,and carbon storage in ridge top forests of high mountains of Garhwal Himalaya     

C. M. Sharma  Ram Krishan  O. P. Tiwari  Y. S. Rana 《Journal of Sustainable Forestry》2013,32(2):119-132

Abstract

The present study was aimed to anticipate how forest composition, regeneration, biomass production, and carbon storage vary in the ridge top forests of the high mountains of Garhwal Himalaya. For this purpose five major forest types—(a) Pinus wallichiana, (b) Quercus semecarpifolia, (c) Cedrus deodara, (d) Abies spectabilis, and (e) Betula utilis mixed forests—were selected on different ridge tops in the Bhagirathi Catchment Area of the Uttarkashi District of Garhwal Himalaya. The highest species richness (10 species) and stand density (804 ± 184.5 stems ha^?1) were recorded in Abies spectabilis forests, whereas lowest species richness (4 species) and species density (428 ± 144.7 stems ha^?1) were found in Quercus semecarpifolia forests. The total basal cover (TBC) values were maximum (91.1 ± 24.4 m² ha^?1) in Cedrus deodara forests and minimum (26.5 ± 11.7 m² ha^?1) in Pinus wallichiana forests. The highest total biomass density (TBD) (464.2 ± 152.5 Mg ha^?1) and total carbon density (TCD; 208.9 ± 68.6 Mg C ha^?1) values were recorded for Cedrus deodara forests; however, lowest TBD (283.4 ± 74.8 Mg ha^?1) and TCD (127.5 ± 33.7 Mg C ha^?1) values for Quercus semecarpifolia forests. Our study suggests that Abies spectabilis-dominated forests should be encouraged for biodiversity enrichment and reducing carbon emissions on ridge top forests of high mountains.  相似文献   

The potential of entomopathogens in biological control of white grubs     

Ravinder S. Chandel  Sumit Vashisth  Mandeep Pathania  Pawan K. Mehta  Abhishek Rana 《国际虫害防治杂志》2013,59(4):348-362

Abstract

White grubs are highly polyphagous and most destructive soil pests inflicting damage to a wide variety of crops. In India, more than 1000 species of white grubs are known of which over 40 species attack wide range of plants. White grubs are naturally infected by various entomopathogens which include fungi, bacteria and nematodes. Entomopathogenic fungi offer great potential and members of genera Beauveria and Metarhizium are widely used against white grubs. Several commercial products of entomopathogenic fungi like Bio Green, ORY-X, Grub X 10G, Betel, Biotrol FMA and Meta-Guard have been developed for the control of white grubs. In India, good control of white grubs in paddy, ginger and sugarcane has been achieved with different entomofungi. Among EPNs, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is moderately effective against Popillia japonica and Rhizotrogus majalis. H. indica and H. bacteriophora are effective against potato white grubs in India. Paenibacillus popilliae cause milky disease in P. japonica grubs. The bacterium is pathogenic to Holotrichia consanguinea, H. serrata and Leucopholis lepidophora. In north-western Himalaya, B. cereus is highly toxic to the grubs of H. seticollis and Anomala dimidiata.  相似文献   

Genetic variability and population structure of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Grapevine virus A</Emphasis> coat protein gene from naturally infected Italian vines     

Sergio Murolo  Gianfranco Romanazzi  Adib Rowhani  Angelantonio Minafra  Pierfederico La Notte  Maria Barbara Branzanti  Vito Savino 《European journal of plant pathology / European Foundation for Plant Pathology》2008,120(2):137-145

Grapevine virus A (GVA) is considered one of the viruses associated with rugose wood (RW), one of the most economically important diseases of grapevine. Thirty-seven GVA isolates collected from grapevine cultivars from Marche (central-eastern Italy), Apulia and Campania (southern Italy), were subjected to molecular characterization. The genetic and population diversity was studied in the coat protein (CP) gene by RT-PCR-RFLP analysis with three restriction enzymes (MseI, AluI, and AciI), and nucleotide sequencing. A new primer pair (CP1F/R) allowing amplification of the whole CP gene (621 bp) was developed. RFLP with AciI yielded the highest number of variants in GVA isolates, showing seven different ‘simple’ profiles (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G). ‘Complex’ profiles were also found, and the most common variant combination was A + B in 39% of isolates. The analysis of GVA sequences confirmed the presence of plants infected with more than one GVA variant and suggested that RT-PCR-RFLP is suitable for evaluating population diversity of GVA enabling a screening of different haplotypes. The distribution of RFLP profiles and the phylogenetic analysis were not correlated with the location of infected plants, showing the presence of a GVA population with genetic diversity in the average with those of RNA viruses.  相似文献
