Nonsurgical treatment of cubital subchondral cyst-like lesions in horses: seven cases (1983-1987).     

L A Hopen  P T Colahan  T A Turner  A J Nixon 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1992,200(4):527-530

Subchondral cyst-like lesions of the cubital joint were diagnosed in 7 horses at the teaching hospital between 1983 and 1987. Diagnosis of the lesions was made by administration of intra-articular local anesthesia and/or radiographically. Initial treatment for all horses consisted of stall rest for 60 to 90 days. In addition, 2 horses were administered sodium hyaluronate intra-articularly, 1 horse was given injections of polysulfated glycosaminoglycans IM, and 1 horse was given phenylbutazone orally. Follow-up information was compiled 6 weeks to 4 years after initial examination. At the time of follow-up inquiry, 6 horses were sound for intended use and only 1 horse became lame when exercised. A logical approach to choice of surgical or nonsurgical treatment is proposed on the basis of these findings and those reported in the literature.  相似文献

Critical and controlled tests of activity of a macrocyclic lactone (compound F28249-alpha) against natural infections in internal parasites of equids     

E T Lyons  J H Drudge  S C Tolliver 《American journal of veterinary research》1989,50(6):970-974

Thirteen critical tests (n = 11 horses and 2 ponies) and 4 controlled tests (n = 4 donkeys and 6 horses) were performed to evaluate the activity of the experimental macrocyclic lactone compound F28249-alpha against internal parasites of equids. In the critical tests, activity was determined mainly against the large parasites, but 1 critical test also included benzimidazole-resistant small strongyles. In the controlled tests, evaluation of drug activity included large parasites and stomach worms in all 4 tests, and lungworms in 2 tests. The period between treatment and euthanasia was 6 to 9 days for the critical tests and 14, 17, or 52 days for the controlled tests. The compound was administered by stomach tube at dose rates of 1, 2, 3, 3.5, or 4 mg/kg of body weight. In the critical tests, removal at all 5 dose rates was 100% for Gasterophilus nasalis (2nd and 3rd instars), Parascaris equorum (mature), Strongylus vulgaris, and Strongulus edentatus from the gastrointestinal tract. For Gasterophilus intestinalis in the stomach, mean removals of 2nd instars were 88% at the rate of 2 mg/kg and 93% to 100% at rates greater than or equal to 3 mg/kg. For 3rd instars, mean removals were 7% at 1 mg/kg, 77% at 2 mg/kg, 90% at 3 mg/kg, and 98% at 3.5 mg/kg. Discharge of G intestinalis in feces was typically a slow, prolonged process and probably higher removal values, especially at lower dose rates, would have attended a longer interval after treatment before necropsy examination.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献   

Long-term clinical observations on feline immunodeficiency virus infected asymptomatic carriers.     

T Ishida  A Taniguchi  S Matsumura  T Washizu  I Tomoda 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》1992,35(1-2):15-22

Eleven feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infected asymptomatic carrier (AC) cats were observed for 2 years for development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Four of the 11 (36.4%) showed progression of the clinical stage. Persistent generalized lymphadenopathy was noted in three cats as the first sign of illness after the AC phase, while the other showed lymphadenopathy with signs of AIDS-related complex. In all four cats the AIDS-related complex stage lasted for 10 months or longer, and two showed progression of the disease into AIDS. The two cats showing AIDS illnesses died within approximately 1 year after they had developed persistent generalized lymphadenopathy. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of AIDS characterized by the presence of depletion lesions in the lymphoid organs, and of severe infections of an opportunistic nature. The overall mortality of FIV infected AC cats during a 2 year period was two out of 11 (18.2%). These cats showed decreased concanavalin A mitogen response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells as the disease progressed.  相似文献   

Growth activity of bovid herpesvirus 1 in bovine follicular oocytes with cumulus cells.     

T Tsuboi  Y Kanazawa  T Syoji  S Tokuhisa 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》1992,54(6):1179-1181

Bovine follicular oocytes collected from bovine ovaries were exposed to bovid herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). After washings, these oocytes were cultured to mature. As a result BHV-1 could not be removed from the oocytes and could replicate in the oocytes with cumulus cells, but not in the oocytes without the cells. Moreover, the specific fluorescence for BHV-1 was detected in the cumulus cells by a indirect immunofluorescent technique. Therefore these findings suggested BHV-1 could be absorbed in the oocytes but the replication of BHV-1 was done in the cumulus cells.  相似文献   

Anti-erythrocyte membrane antibodies detected in sera of dogs naturally infected with Babesia gibsoni.     

K Adachi  A Yoshimoto  T Hasegawa  T Shimizu  Y Goto  S Makimura 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》1992,54(6):1081-1084

Due to the potential for anti-erythrocyte membrane antibodies as possible enhancers of erythrocyte destruction, the presence of serum anti-erythrocyte membrane antibodies in 31 dogs with Babesia gibsoni infection admitted to a veterinary hospital was investigated by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting analyses. This infection resulted in an increase of anti-erythrocyte membrane antibodies in 84% (IgG) and 74% (IgM) of 31 infected dogs, respectively. This was confirmed by the similarity in the protein profiles of the erythrocyte membrane antigens immunoblotted with rabbit antiserum to dog erythrocyte membrane antigens and infected dog serum. These results suggest the production of anti-erythrocyte membrane antibodies was induced by B. gibsoni infection.  相似文献

The ACVD task force on canine atopic dermatitis (V): biology and role of inflammatory cells in cutaneous allergic reactions.     

P B Hill  T Olivry 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》2001,81(3-4):187-198

Numerous inflammatory cells are thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis (AD) although, in the past, mast cells were considered the most important. However, evidence for this assumption is lacking. In this paper, we review the literature concerning the role of inflammatory cells in allergic reactions and conclude that a complex interplay exists between a wide variety of cell types. Thus, on the basis of the available evidence, the cells that appear to be the most important in the pathogenesis of canine AD are Langerhans' cells and dermal dendritic cells (both responsible for antigen processing and presentation), B-lymphocytes (responsible for reaginic antibody production), allergen-specific helper T-lymphocytes (responsible for cytokine production leading to activation of B-cells and other inflammatory cells) and mast cells (production of inflammatory mediators leading to inflammation).  相似文献
