A technique for temporary hepatic vascular occlusion during partial hepatectomy for hepatic arteriovenous (AV) fistulas in the dog is presented in seven dogs, and three additional cases of hepatic AV fistulas are reviewed. Hematologic, serum biochemical, radiologic, and nuclear scintigraphic parameters before and after surgery are discussed; abnormalities included anemia, hypoproteinemia, leukocytosis, increased liver function tests, retrograde filling of the portal vein during celiac angiography, and increased arteriovenous ratios during nuclear scintigraphy. Hemodynamic and pathologic findings are presented, and portal hypertension and secondary multiple portosystemic shunts are described. Clinical improvement was observed in four dogs with follow-up periods ranging from 5 months to 3 years.  相似文献

The main objective of this study was to evaluate sperm morphology in four neotropical primate species to compare the sperm morphological traits and the sperm morphometric parameters as a basis for establishing normative sperm standards for each species. Data from 80 ejaculates collected from four primate species, Callithrix jacchus, Callimico goeldii, Alouatta caraya and Ateles geoffroyi, were analysed for detection of sperm morphological alterations using subjective World Health Organization (WHO‐2010) standards and Sperm Deformity Index (SDI) criteria, objective computer‐assisted sperm morphometry analysis (CASMA) and subpopulation sperm determination (SSD) methods. There were multiple differences (p < 0.01) observed among primate species in values obtained from WHO‐2010, SDI, CASMA and SSD sperm analysis methods. In addition, multiple significant positive and negative correlations were observed between the sperm morphological traits (SDI, Sperm Deformity Index Head Defects, Sperm Deformity Index Midpiece Defects, Sperm Deformity Index Tail Defects, Normal Sperm, Head Defects, Midpiece Defects and Tail Defects) and the sperm morphometric parameters (SSD, Area (A), Perimeter (P), Length (L), Width (W), Ellipticity, Elongation and Rugosity) (p ≤ 0.046). In conclusion, our findings using different evaluation methods indicate that pronounced sperm morphological variation exists among these four neotropical primate species. Because of the strong relationship observed among morphological and morphometric parameters, these results suggest that application of objective analysis methods could substantially improve the reliability of comparative studies and help to establish valid normative sperm values for neotropical primates.  相似文献

Resetting the sporulation rhythm in Pilobolus with short light flashes of high intensity     

BRUCE VG  WEIGHT F  PITTENDRIGH CS 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1960,131(3402):728-730

The "clock-controlled" endogenous sporulation rhythm in the fungusPilobolus sphaerosporus has been investigated as part of a comparative study aimed at elucidating characteristic common features of circadian ((1)) rhythms. Pilobolus was chosen for inclusion in this study because of its demonstrated rhythm and sensitivity to light, and because it is a relatively simple plant. It has been shown that a single, high-intensity, 1/2000 second light flash will completely reset (shift the phase of) a rhythm persisting in continuous dim red light at constant temperature, and that one or more transient cycles occur before the phase shift is complete. The significance of these results is discussed.  相似文献   

Serological survey of exposure to Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in poultryin New Zealand

Abstract

AIMS: To estimate the seroprevalence of antibodies to Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae in chickens in New Zealand, and to estimate the effect of housing type, geographical location and age on seroprevalence.

METHODS: A cross-sectional serological survey of a convenience sample of 545 broiler, breeder, and layer chickens in 55 flocks was conducted in 2010–2011. Birds were aged 5–83 weeks; housing types were free-range, shed, caged, and unknown; and flocks were located in the Auckland, Manawatu, North Canterbury, Otago, Taranaki, Waikato, and Wairarapa regions of New Zealand. An ELISA was used to measure antibodies to E. rhusiopathiae. Samples with an optical density reading ≥1.50 were considered to be positive. Logistic regression analysis was used to model the effect of housing type, geographical location and flock age on the prevalence of samples positive for antibodies to E. rhusiopathiae.

RESULTS: The overall prevalence of samples with antibodies to E. rhusiopathiae was 39.8 (95% CI=35.68–44.06)% for the 545 samples, and 46/55 (84%) farms that were tested had at least one positive sample. Mean seroprevalence for types of housing was 44.2 (95% CI=37.79–50.70)% for free-range (n=240 birds), 23.7 (95% CI=17.83–30.38)% for shed (n=190), 73 (95% CI=56–86)% for caged (n=37) and 50 (95% CI=38–62)% for unknown (n=78). The disease was present in all seven geographical locations from which samples were obtained for this study. Seroprevalence increased with increasing age of birds (p<0.001); for birds ≤12 weeks of age it was 2 (95% CI=0.3–8)% (n=91), 13–24 weeks 29.1 (95% CI=23.34–35.46)% (n=230), 25–36 weeks 47 (95% CI=32–64)% (n=40), 37–48 weeks 75 (95% CI=51–91)% (n=20), >48 weeks 63.8 (95% CI=54.78–72.12)% (n=127). Neither housing type nor geographical location had a significant effect on the likelihood of samples being positive for antibodies to E. rhusiopathiae.

CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest the prevalence of erysipelas under New Zealand field conditions may be higher than expected and that the disease is significantly associated with increasing age. Housing type and geographical location appear to be unrelated to seroprevalence.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Further study of the epidemiology of E. rhusiopathiae in chickens in New Zealand should be considered in order to minimise the extent of birds' exposure to the organism. These findings will assist in the design of further studies.  相似文献

Several degradation products of the iriazine herbicides atrazine [2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isapropylainino-1,3,5-triazine], cyprazine [2-chloro-4-cyclopropylamino-6-isopropylamino-1,3,5-triazine] and cyanazine [2-chloro-4-(l-cyanomethylethyl-amimo)-6-ethylamino-1,3,5-triazine] were monitored over a 3-year period in soil Trom fields under maiTC production. The soils were predominately loamy sands and sandy clay loams. HydroKy-triazines were determined semi-quanlilatively m the soil samples by gaschromalography, after methylation. Their levels ranged Trom 0.05 to 0.5 ppm. The hydroxy-triazines were the predominant triazine residues in the field during ihe spring and autumn, N-de-ethylated atrazine [2-chloro-4-amino-6-iso-propylamino-1,3,5-triazine] persisted at relatively high levels (0.015–0.02 ppm) 12 months after the application of atrazine. Greater proportions of N-de-ethylated atrazine and cyanazine II [2-chloro-4-(1-carbamoyl-1-methyleihylamino)-6-ethyl-amino-s-iriazine] than of atrazine or cyanazine were found to move through the soil profile into subsurface drainage water (1.2–1.6 m depth).

Pharmacokinetics of propranolol in the dog     

ROBERT E. KATES  BRUCE W. KEENE  ROBERT L. HAMLIN † 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》1979,2(1):21-26

The pharmacokinetics of propranolol were investigated in dogs following intravenous, single oral, and multiple oral doses. Mean half-life of the compound following single intravenous administration was 1.09 h, following single oral dose 1.58 h, and 2.14 h after chronic oral dosing. Half-life values previously reported in dogs for the levo and dextro isomers were 0.77 and 1.08h, respectively. The bioavailability of oral propranolol was low (2–17% available) following a single oral dose, but increased substantially after chronic oral dosing, suggesting saturation of the disposition processes for propranolol with multiple dosing regimens.  相似文献   

New Insights into Senior Travel Behavior: The Canadian Experience     

DARREN M. SCOTT  KENNETH BRUCE NEWBOLD  JAMIE E.L. SPINNEY  RUBEN MERCADO  ANTONIO PÁEZ  PAVLOS S. KANAROGLOU 《Growth and change》2009,40(1):140-168

Societies in many developed nations around the world are aging. Over the past decade, a growing body of research has emerged internationally in an effort to anticipate and prepare for the transport challenges posed by this unprecedented demographic change. This paper contributes to this line of research by offering new insights into senior travel behavior focusing on the recent Canadian experience. Using weekday data from the 1992 and 2005 General Social Surveys on time use, changes in the number of trips, the duration of trips, trip mode, and trip timing are evaluated for urban seniors. In contrast to the experiences of many other developed nations, analysis of the first three indicators of behavioral change refutes the notion that “automobility” has increased in Canada over the 13‐year period. While this finding is encouraging, it is tempered by the fact that Canadian seniors who choose to travel by car are doing so increasingly during the morning and evening peak periods. The results from a peak versus non‐peak departure‐time model that pools data from both years offer important insights into factors driving this change. For instance, the results suggest that the propensity to start a trip during rush hour has increased over time for non‐work trip purposes.  相似文献
