Uptake, transfer to rough endoplasmic reticulum, and intracellular growth of Brucella abortus were studied in Vero cells treated with endocytic and metabolic inhibitors. Infection of Vero cells was suppressed when inhibitors of energy metabolism (iodoacetate, dinitrophenol), receptor-mediated endocytosis (monodansylcadaverine, amantadine, methylamine), or endosomal acidification (chloroquine, ammonium chloride, monensin) were added to the inoculum. Inhibition was not observed when these drugs were added after the inoculation period. Infection of Vero cells by B abortus was inhibited by dibutyryl-cyclic adenosine monophosphate and Vibrio cholerae enterotoxin, but was stimulated by dibutyryl-cyclic guanosine monophosphate and escherichia coli heat-stable enterotoxin a. Uptake of B abortus by Vero cells was not prevented by colchicine, but was abolished by cytochalasin B. Uptake of heat-killed B abortus and noninvasive E coli was similar to that of viable brucellae. Intracellular growth of B abortus was not affected by cycloheximide. Results indicate that: B abortus may be internalized by a receptor-mediated phagocytic process; transfer of B abortus from phagosomes to rough endoplasmic reticulum may require endosomal acidification; and replication of B abortus within the rough endoplasmic reticulum may not depend on protein synthesis by the host cell.  相似文献   

Surgical Management of Atlantoaxial Subluxation in 23 Dogs     

WILLIAM B. THOMAS DVM    DONALD C. SORJONEN DVM  MS  Diplomate ACVIM  STEPHEN T. SIMPSON DVM  MS  Diplomate ACVIM 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1991,20(6):409-412

Twenty-eight surgical procedures were performed in 23 dogs with atlantoaxial subluxation. Dorsal stabilization in seven dogs resulted in two recoveries and five failures of fixation. Ventral decompression and stabilization in 18 dogs resulted in eight recoveries and four failures of fixation. Six dogs died or were euthanatized within 7 days of ventral stabilization. Using either technique, four of seven nonambulatory dogs recovered.  相似文献   

Abdominal Wall Reconstruction with a Vascular External Abdominal Oblique Myofascial Flap     

LISA G. ALEXANDER DVM    MICHAEL M. PAVLETIC DVM  Dipiomate ACVS  STEPHEN J. ENGLER VMD 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1991,20(6):379-384

A myofascial island flap for abdominal wall reconstruction was based on the lumbar component of the external abdominal oblique muscle and supplied by a major neurovascular pedicle consisting of branches of the cranial abdominal artery, cranial hypogastric nerve, and a satellite vein. The flap was elevated and sutured into a 10 cm x 10 cm body wall defect in five dogs. The dogs were observed for 26 to 28 days. Abdominal wall contour and function were preserved. All dogs developed seromas, two of which became infected. One dog developed a hernia at the dorsal margin of the flap, which was repaired. At necropsy, there was no evidence of dehiscence in any of the dogs. Loose adhesions of omentum to the inner surface of the flap occurred in four dogs. Results of histologic examination confirmed the clinical impression of flap viability. The myofascial island flap has a wide range of mobility over the ventral and caudal areas of the abdomen and lateral thoracic wall. It has potential clinical use for reconstruction of defects within its arc of rotation.  相似文献   

Evaluation of an electronic device used as a quick screening method to detect changes in the red cell content of the blood in horses participating in endurance trail rides     

A. De Waal  F. J. Potgieter 《Veterinary research communications》1991,15(4):309-314

Dehydration, to varying degrees, will inevitably occur in horses participating in endurance trail rides. This water loss is directly related to the amount of body water lost through evaporative cooling, that in turn being related to the amount and rate of work performed, and to the environmental temperature and humidity.An electronic apparatus that can substitute for the conventional and time-consuming venous haematocrit was developed to measure the animals' hydration status. The mechanism of this electrometer is based upon the relationship between the red cell content and the electrical conductivity of the blood. The electrometer reading gave a significant correlation (p<0.001) with the venous haematocrit, thus indicating that the electrometer is a reliable apparatus for determining the animals' hydration status within seconds of venepuncture.  相似文献   

Modifying the response to defoliation during vegetative growth in CERES-Maize     

A. Weiss  E. L. Piper 《Agricultural Systems》1992,40(4):379-392

CERES-Maize (Vl. 0) predicted no grain yield when 100% defoliation occurred during vegetative growth. This result conflicted with field observations where 100% defoliation early in the vegetative stage did not materially reduce grain yield. CERES-Maize was modified to realistically predict yields when defoliation greater than 50% occurred during vegetative growth by taking into account stem (stem proper and sheath) photosynthesis and translocation of dry matter from the stem to the developing leaves. With these modifications, predictions from CERES-Maize were in good agreement with field measurements when defoliation occurred both early and later in the vegetative stage. This modified version of CERES-Maize can be the basis of a decision support system for defoliating pests of corn where yields can be evaluated under different management strategies and climate scenarios.  相似文献   

左旋咪唑在生长育肥猪驱虫中的应用研究     

Zhu Ming Liu Zhenwu Guan Xinfu 《湖北农学院学报》1991,(1)

本文探讨了5%左旋咪唑注射液按10mg/kg 体重剂量的不同驱虫次数对生长育肥猪驱虫效率、中毒反应及生产性能的影响。结果表明,1)在60～240日龄全期试验内,分别于60和150日龄各驱虫1次的试验Ⅰ组猪日增重极显著高出对照组(不驱虫)的23.9%(p<0.01);也显著高于只在60日龄驱虫1次的试验Ⅱ组(p<0.05),尽管Ⅱ组猪日增重显著高于对照组14.5%(p<0.05)。2)用药后,猪只应激毒性反应为100%,但均能自然康复。3)2次驱虫的效率比1次驱虫的高,且彻底。因此,用左旋咪唑给生长育肥猪驱虫,宜进行2次(分别于60和150日龄),可显著改善生长性能和提高经济效益,适宜在农(山)区养猪中推广。  相似文献   

The cardiorespiratory effects of morphine and butorphanol in horses anaesthetised under clinical conditions   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0  

A. M. Nolan  J. P. Chambers†  G. J. Hale‡ 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》1991,18(1):19-24

Twenty-five horses admitted for minor orthopaedic or soft tissue surgery were anaesthetised with detomidine, ketamine and halothane. Heart rate, arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, tidal volume, minute volume, blood gases and occlusion pressures were measured before and for 30 mins after intravenous (iv) injection of saline, butorphanol 0.05 mg/kg bodyweight (bwt) or morphine 0.02 or 0.05 mg/kg bwt. Drug or saline treatment induced no significant changes from pre-treatment values within a group for arterial blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, arterial carbon dioxide tension, arterial oxygen tension and occlusion pressure. In conclusion, both morphine and butorphanol at the stated doses cause no adverse effects on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of anaesthetised horses.  相似文献   

Sedative and cardiovascular effects of romifidine, alone and in combination with butorphanol, in the horse   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

K. W. Clarke  G. C. W. England  L. Goossens 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》1991,18(1):25-29

The behavioural and sedative effects of intravenous (iv) romifidine (40 and 80 μg/kg bodyweight [bwt]) alone or in combination with iv butorphanol (50 μg/kg bwt) were investigated in four ponies and one Thoroughbred horse. Apparent sedation, as judged by the lowering of the head, and by the response to imposed touch, visual and sound stimuli was assessed. The combination with butorphanol reduced the animals' response to imposed stimuli when compared with the effect of the same dose of romifidine alone. Following the administration of romifidine/butorphanol combinations muzzle tremor was noted and some animals attempted to walk forward. In a separate series, the cardiopulmonary effects of iv romifidine (80 μg/kg bwt) alone, or in combination with butorphanol (50 μg/kg bwt) were investigated. Romifidine and the romifidine/butorphanol combination caused similar cardiovascular changes, these being bradycardia with heart block, and hypertension followed by hypotension. Romifidine caused a transient decrease in arterial oxygen tensions and arterial carbon dioxide tensions had increased significantly by the end of the 90 min recording period. Romifidine/butorphanol combinations produced significantly higher arterial carbon dioxide tensions during the first 15 mins after drug administration than did romifidine alone. Butorphanol at 50 μg/kg bwt iv reduced the response to imposed stimuli in horses sedated with romifidine. The combination produced no cardiovascular changes beyond those induced by romifidine alone, but did increase the degree of respiratory depression.  相似文献   

Excitatory phenomena following the use of propofol in dogs     

C. Davies 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》1991,18(1):48-51

Over a two month period, 148 dogs presented for surgery had general anaesthesia induced and sometimes maintained with propofol. Excitatory phenomena were recorded on 12 occasions. Signs included muscle twitching, opisthotonus and limb hyperextension (nine cases), and panting with associated activity of the brachiocephalicus muscle and tongue retraction (three cases). The records for a similar two month period were examined for data and observations relating to thiopentone. During this period anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone in 71 dogs and no excitatory phenomena were recorded.  相似文献
