Tyrosine Ameliorates Some of the Clinical,Biochemical and Haematological Effects of Acute Stress Associated with Transportation of Desert Sheep     

Ali BH  Al-Qarawi AA  Mousa HM  Mohammed SM 《Veterinary research communications》2001,25(6):503-510

We studied some clinical, biochemical and haematological variables in Desert (Najdi) sheep acutely stressed in the course of individual road transportation, and the influence thereon of pretreatment with tyrosine. Transportation for 30 min resulted in variable but statistically insignificant increases in heart, pulse and respiratory rates. It also caused significant increases in the plasma concentration of cortisol (from 43.5 to 101.7 mmol/L) and glucose (from 3.1 to 4.5 mmol/L), and a decrease in that of magnesium (from 0.85 to 0.72 mmol/L). The endogenous thiocyanate level was unaffected. The transportation stress also decreased the haematocrit (PCV) and the number of lymphocytes, and increased the concentration of haemoglobin. Pretreatment of sheep with tyrosine at a dose of 100 mg/kg by the intravenous route significantly ameliorated the stress-induced clinical, biochemical and haematological changes. The treatment caused no overt adverse effects.  相似文献   

Renal adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and pancreatic islet cell carcinoma in a binturong (Arctictis binturong).     

Eric Klaphake  Ahmed Shoieb  Ed Ramsay  Juergen Schumacher  Linden Craig 《Journal of zoo and wildlife medicine》2005,36(1):127-130

A 19-yr-old binturong (Arctictis binturong) with acute upper respiratory disease was euthanized. Postmortem findings included hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic islet cell carcinoma, and renal adenocarcinoma with metastasis to the spleen, pleura, and pericardium. A link between primary hepatic and renal neoplasms has been noted in older humans.  相似文献   

Relationship of toxoplasma infections to other diseases in dogs     

B A Ahmed  S M Gaafar  W E Weirich  C L Kanitz 《Veterinary parasitology》1983,12(2):199-203

Toxoplasma infection as detected by the immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) test was found in 13.2% of 448 dogs examined at the Purdue University Small Animal Clinic. Only titres of 1/64 and above were considered positive, but lesser titers were encountered more frequently. The highest titer observed was 1/1024 in 2 dogs one of which had idiopathic epilepsy and the other had dirofilariasis as well as hip dysplasia. The incidence of positive sera from male and female dogs were 11.7 and 14.5%, respectively. The highest frequency of infection occurred in young dogs up to 4 years of age and the lowest was in older animals. The presence of the high toxoplasmosis IFA titers in the sera of dogs seems to be associated with other disease conditions. Stress such as joint dislocations, fractures, helminth parasitism, and concomitant bacterial and viral infections, etc., was observed in 62.7% of the positive cases. Presence of tumors and renal disease conditions were associated with 28.8 and 5.2%, respectively, of the positive sera.  相似文献   

Non-suture intestinal anastomosis by invagination     

B Prasad  S A Ahmed  G A Bhatt 《The Journal of small animal practice》1972,13(11):641-647

Intestinal anastomoses were performed on seventeen mongrel dogs by non-suture invagination technique and by the conventional method. A comparative evaluation revealed the non-suture technique to be easier and less time-consuming. Also the tissue reaction was minimal. Encouraging results suggest further investigation prior to clinical trial of this relatively new technique. Résumé. Des anastomoses intestinales sur dix-sept chiens métis par l'invagination technique pas de suture et la méthode de convention. Une évaluation comparative a révélé que la technique pas de suture était plus facile et moins de temps était perdu. Aussi la réaction du tissu était minimum. Les résultats encourageants proposent un surcro***ît d'investigation antérieurement a l'expérience clinique de cette technique relativement plus nouvelle. Zusammenfassung. Die Darmanastomosen von siebzehn Mischhunden durch die Intussuscep-tiontecknik keiner Naht und die verabredete Methode. Eine vergleichende Abschatzung zeigte, daß die Tecknik keiner Naht leichter ist, und wenigere Zeitverschwendung hat. Auch war die Reaktion des Gewebes minderst. Die ermutigenden Ergebnisse suggerieren eine Forderung der Erforschung vor klinischem Versuch dieser Tecknik, die verhältnismäßig neuere ist.  相似文献

Penetration of malathion into locusts     

Hafiz Ahmed  B. G. Gardiner 《Pest management science》1970,1(5):217-219

Topically applied dilute solutions of malathion in kerosene extract ‘bottoms’ are more toxic and rapid in action than concentrated ones. Dilute solutions spread farther, penetrate more rapidly and consequently their rate of activation into the more toxic malaoxon is higher. With a single dose of 2·5% malathion the rate of penetration and activation varies according to the loci of topical application, presumably reflecting differences in sclerotisation of the cuticle. There are also inherent differences in the susceptibility of various body regions associated perhaps with the differential vulnerability of some vital internal organ (e.g. the central nervous system). Very rapid hydrolytic degradation of malathion occurs through its conversion into malaoxon; locusts survive the lethal action of malathion by way of such degradation only where activation into malaoxon takes place in areas away from the sensitive head region, or where the rate of activation is slow, or where the circulatory system delays its arrival at such sensitive sites. The higher rate of activation observable in immature adults of Schistocerca gregaria compared with mature adults is, however, counterbalanced by a higher rate of hydrolysis in the former.  相似文献

The detection of the meq gene in chicken infected with Marek's disease virus serotype 1   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

Chang KS  Lee SI  Ohashi K  Ibrahim A  Onuma M 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2002,64(5):413-417

In the genome of strains of very virulent Marek's disease virus serotype 1(vvMDV1), such as Md5 and RB1B, the meq open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 339-amino-acid bZIP protein, is present, while a slightly longer meq ORF, termed as L-meq, in which a 180-bp sequence is inserted into the meq ORF is found in other strains of MDV1, such as CV1988/R6 and attenuated JM. When chickens were infected with vvMDV1 strains and the meq gene was amplified by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the meq gene was detected throughout the experimental period for 7 weeks post inoculation (pi). However, the L-meq gene was also detected at 3 to 5 weeks and 3 to 4 weeks pi. in Md5-infected and RB1B-infected chickens, respectively. In the case of chickens infected with an attenuated MDV1, the JM strain, the L-meq gene was detected at 2 to 7 weeks pi., and the meq gene was also detected at 2 to 6 weeks pi. Both L-meq and meq genes were detected in chickens infected with an attenuated nononcogenic vaccine strain of MDV1 (CVI988/R6), throughout the experimental period. Though quantitative PCR was not performed, a larger amount of the PCR products corresponding to the L-meq than the meq gene was amplified from chickens infected with JM or CVI988/R6. These results suggest that a dynamic population shift between the MDV subpopulations displaying meq and L-meq genes occurs in chickens during the course of MDV infection. Since the MDV subpopulation that displays the L-meq gene only displays it during the latent phase, the L-meq and its gene product, if any, might contribute to the maintenance of the MDV latency.  相似文献
