Portosystemic shunts in cats: seven cases (1976-1984)     

T D Scavelli  W E Hornbuckle  L Roth  V T Rendano  A de Lahunta  S A Center  T W French  J F Zimmer 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1986,189(3):317-325

Congenital portosystemic venous shunt causing signs of hepatic encephalopathy was diagnosed in 7 cats. The left gastric vein served as the shunt in four of these. Increases in blood ammonia and postprandial serum bile acids were the most consistent serum biochemical abnormalities. Excessive variation in red blood cell shape was a common but nonspecific hematologic finding. The jejunal-mesenteric venous injection of contrast material was the preferred method of portography to diagnose portosystemic shunts. Two cats were treated successfully by partial surgical occlusion of their shunts.  相似文献   

Gastric rupture in horses: a review of 54 cases     

R J Todhunter  H N Erb  L Roth 《Equine veterinary journal》1986,18(4):288-293

The historical, clinical, laboratory, surgical and necropsy findings in 54 cases of gastric rupture in horses are described. Eleven per cent of the deaths of horses undergoing exploratory coeliotomy for colic during the period of the study were a result of gastric rupture. Comparison with all horses which had exploratory coeliotomies for colic over an eight year period did not show that horses with gastric rupture were different from these reference horses regarding age, breed or season. There were fewer stallions than expected in the gastric rupture group. Horses with histories of both acute and chronic (more than 36 h) colic were susceptible to gastric rupture. Primary and idiopathic causes of gastric dilation and rupture accounted for about one-third of the horses. All but one of these cases resulting from secondary causes fell into three aetiologically-related groups: obstructive, peritoneal and enteric, with approximately equal numbers of horses in each group. Most of the ruptures occurred along the greater curvature of the stomach. At least six horses ruptured their stomachs postoperatively in the presence of an indwelling nasogastric tube. The presence or absence of gastric reflux following nasogastric intubation was not a reliable indicator, on its own, of gastric dilation. Horses that later died from gastric rupture had markedly elevated heart rate, hypochloraemia, peritoneal exudative effusion (particularly with evidence of sepsis), pre- and/or postoperative gastric reflux and small or large intestinal disease. However, no distinctive feature of these horses was shown to place them at risk of gastric rupture.  相似文献   

A model of animal-human brucellosis transmission in Mongolia     

Zinsstag J  Roth F  Orkhon D  Chimed-Ochir G  Nansalmaa M  Kolar J  Vounatsou P 《Preventive veterinary medicine》2005,69(1-2):77-95

We developed a dynamic model of livestock-to-human brucellosis transmission in Mongolia. The compartmental model considers transmission within sheep and cattle populations and the transmission to humans as additive components. The model was fitted to demographic and seroprevalence data (Rose Bengal test) from livestock and annually reported new human brucellosis cases in Mongolia for 1991-1999 prior to the onset of a mass livestock-vaccination campaign (S19 Brucella abortus for cattle and Rev 1 Brucella melitensis for sheep and goat). The vaccination effect was fitted to livestock- and human-brucellosis data from the first 3 years of the vaccination campaign (2000-2002). Parameters were optimized on the basis of the goodness-of-fit (assessed by the deviance). The simultaneously fitted sheep-human and cattle-human contact rates show that 90% of human brucellosis was small-ruminant derived. Average effective reproductive ratios for the year 1999 were 1.2 for sheep and 1.7 for cattle.  相似文献   

Equine cell-mediated immune response to Rhodococcus (Corynebacterium) equi   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

M A Ellenberger  M L Kaeberle  J A Roth 《American journal of veterinary research》1984,45(11):2424-2427

A lymphocyte blastogenic assay was developed to serve as an in vitro correlate of cell-mediated immunity to Rhodococcus (Corynebacterium) equi (R equi) in the equine species. Lymphocytes obtained from a group of experimental ponies showed no response in cell culture to R equi heat extract or lysozyme extract antigens. Ponies were assigned to groups for experimental inoculation. Three ponies were inoculated subcutaneously with live R equi, 3 were given live R equi by intranasal and intratracheal routes, and 4 ponies were left untreated. Lymphocytes from all inoculated ponies had a mitogenic response to R equi antigens in lymphocyte blastogenic assays performed between the 7th and 40th days after inoculation. Lymphocytes from noninoculated control ponies remained unresponsive to R equi antigens. Delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions developed in all experimentally exposed ponies after intradermal administration of the R equi antigen preparations. In a 2nd phase of experimentation, blastogenesis assays were performed on lymphocytes from horses in herds with endemic R equi infections. Results indicated that many of the animals had significant (stimulation index greater than 2) cell-mediated responses to the bacterium, but there was no distinct correlation between the immune response and clinical history. These data indicated that cell-mediated immunity is involved in the interaction of the equine immune system with R equi.  相似文献   

Effects of in vitro and in vivo administration of recombinant bovine interferon-gamma on bovine neutrophil responses to Brucella abortus     

P C Canning  J A Roth 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》1989,20(2):119-133

The effects of in vitro and in vivo treatment of bovine polymorphonuclear leukocytes with recombinant bovine interferon-gamma on in vitro bovine polymorphonuclear leukocyte functions and the survival of Brucella abortus were determined. Activation of neutrophils in vitro with interferon-gamma resulted in enhanced production of O2- and myelopeoroxidase-H2O2-halide activity by neutrophils in the presence of B. abortus. The improved iodination responses were correlated with an enhanced ability to perform iodination in the presence of 5'-guanosine monophosphate and adenine which have previously been shown to contribute to inhibition of neutrophil myeloperoxidase-H2O2-halide activity by B. abortus. The ability of opsonized B. abortus to survive in the presence of neutrophils activated in vitro or in vivo was partially decreased by approximately 10% of control when compared to survival rates within control phagocytes. These results suggest that activation of neutrophils with recombinant interferon-gamma partially enhances their oxidative metabolic responses, resulting in a slightly enhanced ability to kill virulent B. abortus.  相似文献
