Corynebacterium equi in cattle and pigs     

Mutimer MD  Woolcock JB 《The Veterinary quarterly》1980,2(1):25-27

Summary The cervical lymph nodes of pigs, the retropharyngeal and submandibular lymph nodes of cattle and faecal samples from both animal species were examined for the presence of Corynebacterium equi. The organism was recovered from 19 (35 per cent) of 54 porcine cervical lymph nodes and from 0 of 54 bovine retropharyngeal and submandibular lymph nodes. Fifteen (50 per cent) of 30 bovine faecal and 11 (35 per cent) of 31 porcine faecal samples yielded C. equi.  相似文献   

Precocene II metabolism: Comparative in vivo studies among several species of insects,and structure elucidation of two major metabolites     

B.J. Bergot  K.J. Judy  D.A. Schooley  L.W. Tsai 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1980,13(2):95-104

Several species of insects, exhibiting varying responsiveness to the juvenile hormone antagonist precocene II (6,7-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene), were challenged topically with a tritiated preparation of the title compound. Metabolism of [³H]precocene II was subsequently examined by withdrawing hemolymph samples from treated animals at appropriate time intervals and characterizing the extractable radiolabel chromatographically. Quantitative (or qualitative) differences observed between the respective metabolic profiles were found not correlative with specimen sensitivity to precocene. Production of two heretofore unreported metabolites, identified by spectral and chemical means as O-β-glucosides of 6- and 7-monodemethylated precocene II, was demonstrated in both sensitive and insensitive species. No evidence for the presence of a hemolymphborne, biologically effective “activated metabolite” produced in vivo by precocene-susceptible insects could be found. The latter finding may well argue for in situ bioactivation of precocene at the target tissue(s) by these sensitive insects.  相似文献   

The effect of some Frescon analogs on the aquatic snail,Lymnaea stagnalis: II. Correlation of neurotoxicity to Molluscicidal effectiveness     

B.L. Brezden  D.R. Gardner 《Pesticide biochemistry and physiology》1980,13(2):178-188

Although the molluscicide Frescon is a strong neurotoxin to the Lymnaea stagnalis central nervous system in vitro, it is probable that the exposure of the whole animal to this molluscicide fails to result in central nervous system abnormalities: Frescon does not appear to reach the brain in sufficient quantity to disrupt its normal activity. However, only those Frescon analogs found to be neurotoxic were molluscicidal, suggesting some related mode, if not site, of action. Frescon and its analogs may act by affecting excitable tissues other than the nervous system (e.g., the snail musculature) by altering certain functional and/or structural membrane properties.  相似文献   

Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery     

D B Brunson 《Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice》1980,10(2):481-495

Ophthalmic surgical patients can be routinely anesthetized without complications if the surgeon has a thorough understanding of the effects of anesthetic agents on ocular physiology. The regulation of intraocular pressure is important for successful ophthalmic surgery and can be greatly affected by the anesthetic procedure. Agents utilized to intentionally decrease intraocular pressure are often employed for intraocular procedures. These agents have profound systemic effects that must be anticipated. Adverse drug interactions between sympathomimetic mydriatics and halogenated inhalation anesthetics also must be considered.  相似文献   

An Approach to Forecasting the Incidence of Potato and Cereal Aphids in Scotland1     

Lindsay A. D. TURL 《EPPO Bulletin》1980,10(2):135-141

Many potato and cereal infesting aphids in Scotland are either completely cr partially anholocyclic. This makes forecasting their first appearance and abundance on crops difficult, when compared with holocyclic species such as Aphis fabae Scopoli. This paper describes an analysis of the early movement of nine aphid species, commonly found on potatoes and cereals in Scotland, in relation to winter and early spring climate. Data on their early movement have been extracted from the catches in three of the sjx.12–2.rn suction traps now operating in Scotland in cooperation with the Rothamsted Insect Survey. The particular importance of early spring temperature has been established. The extension of this work to develop a predictive forecast of summer activity of anholocyclic aphid species is discussed. En Ecosse, une forte proportion de pucerons des pommes de terre et des céréales est entièrement ou partiellement anholocyclique. Ceci complique la prévision sur le moment de leur première apparition et sur leur abondance par rapport aux espéces holocycliques telles qu'Aphis, fabae. Cette étude concerne les déplacements précoces de neuf espéces de pucerons retrouveés fréquemment sur les pommes de terre et les céSreales. Les données sur les deplacements ont été obtenues à partir de trois des six piegès à succion de I2,2 m installes en Ecosse en cooperation avec le « Rothamsted Insect Survey », Il est apparu que la température printanière revêt une importance particuliere. Les recherches se poursuivent dam le but d'établir des prévisions sur le développement estival des espèces anholocycliyues de pucerons.  相似文献

Writing, dictating, and speaking letters     

Gould JD  Boies SJ 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1978,201(4361):1145-1147

It is commonly assumed that dictation requires a long time to learn, but authors eventually dictate much faster than they write. Performance results now show that novice dictators can learn in a few hours to dictate with the speed and quality with which they write. However, they do not think they perform this well. Dictators with years of experience are from 0 to 25 percent faster than novices, depending upon the complexity of the letters. Planning time is about two-thirds of composition time, regardless of the method of composition.  相似文献
