L-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria in Staffordshire Bull Terriers     

Abramson CJ  Platt SR  Jakobs C  Verhoeven NM  Dennis R  Garosi L  Shelton GD 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》2003,17(4):551-556

L-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria is an inborn error of metabolism, which has been recognized in humans since 1980. The metabolic defect responsible for the disease is unknown, but the disorder can be diagnosed in humans by elevations of the organic acid, L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), plasma, and urine of affected patients. The disorder produces a variety of clinical neurological defects in humans including psychomotor retardation, seizures, and ataxia. There have previously been no recognized animal models of the disease. However, 6 Staffordshire Bull Terriers were recently identified with the disorder. The animals presented with a variety of clinical signs, most notably seizures, ataxia, dementia, and tremors. They were all screened for organic acid abnormalities in urine, and CSF and plasma (when available). Levels of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid were elevated in all body fluids evaluated. The clinical, clinicopathologic, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics associated with L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in Stafforshire Bull Terriers is reported herein and represents the first veterinary model of this inborn error of metabolism.  相似文献   

The relationship between milk yield and cystic ovarian disease in cattle   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

A S Nanda  W R Ward  H Dobson 《The British veterinary journal》1989,145(1):39-45

Studies were conducted to understand the relationship, if any, between the amount and pattern of milk yield and the occurrence of cystic ovarian disease (COD) in dairy cattle. More than 70 cows with cysts were compared with herd mates of similar lactation number. Total milk yield in lactations when cysts occurred and in the preceding lactations were not different from the corresponding lactations in control cows. Patterns of monthly milk yield did not differ between the two groups of cows. However, weekly analysis in early lactation revealed differences. Both groups of cows achieved peak yields at a similar time (5.4 +/- 1.2 vs 5.7 +/- 1.9 weeks post partum in normal vs cows with COD). However, owing to an early decline in yield of cows with COD, their duration of peak yield was significantly shorter (P less than 0.05) than in the control cows (3.2 +/- 2.2 vs 5.6 +/- 2.4 weeks). Both the attainment and the decline of peak yield occurred 5.6 (range = 2-15) weeks before the cysts were diagnosed. It is concluded that COD is not particularly a disease of higher yielding cows and that COD has no discernible effect on the milk yield or its pattern. It is speculated, however, that some cows in early lactation, while trying to meet the requirements of sustained peak milk production, are more susceptible to minor environmental changes (such as new social interactions, or changes in diet). These events may lead to a drop in milk production and disruption of events controlling normal ovulation, resulting in the formation of ovarian cysts.  相似文献   

Inheritance of Karnal bunt-free trait in bread wheat   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

I. Sharma    N. S. Bains  G. S. Nanda 《Plant Breeding》2004,123(1):96-97

A Karnal bunt (KB)‐free wheat stock (‘KBRL22’) obtained from a cross of two resistant lines (‘HD29’ and ‘W485’) was used as a donor to introgress the KB‐free trait into ‘PBW343’(an ‘Attila’ sib), the most widely grown wheat cultivar in India. The number of KB‐free and KB‐affected plants in BC ₁, BC₂, BC₃ and BC₄ as well the F₂ was recorded after artificial inoculations. The segregation pattern in these generations clearly indicated two independently segregating, dominant genes which jointly confer the KB‐free attribute. The importance of the KB‐free line generated in this experiment is discussed.  相似文献   

Studies on multilines in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).12. Breeding of a multiline variety by convergence of breeding lines     

K. S. Gill  G. S. Nanda  Gurdev Singh  S. S. Aujla 《Euphytica》1980,29(1):125-128

Summary The variation among the component lines of the KSML 3 (a multiline based on cultivar Kalyansona, spring bread wheat) was studied for agronomic characteristics. For days to earing and plant height the variation was small. This helped in imparting uniformity to the multiline. The lines had an improved tillering ability and had larger seeds. This partially explained the increased yield potential of the multiline as compared with Kalyansona.All the lines were susceptible only to one or two races of the yellow and brown rust. In no case any race was virulent against all the lines. In the field all the lines were resistant to both rusts.  相似文献   

Thermally Switchable Periodicities and Diffraction from Mesoscopically Ordered Materials     

JM Weissman  HB Sunkara  AS Tse  SA Asher 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1996,274(5289):959-960

Two switchable, mesoscopically periodic materials were created by combining crystalline colloidal array (CCA) self-assembly with the temperature-induced volume phase transition of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM). Body-centered-cubic CCAs of hydrated, swollen PNIPAM particles Bragg-diffract infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light weakly, whereas arrays of compact shrunken particles diffract efficiently. A tunable diffracting array was also created by embedding a CCA of polystyrene spheres within a PNIPAM hydrogel that swells and contracts with temperature; thus the array lattice constant varies with temperature, and the diffracted wavelength was thermally tunable across the entire visible spectrum. These materials may find applications in many areas of optics and materials science.  相似文献   

Clinical trial of efficacy of ivermectin pour‐on against gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in silvopasturing horses     

I. FRANCISCO  J. A. SÁNCHEZ  F. J. CORTIÑAS  R. FRANCISCO  E. MOCHALES  M. ARIAS  P. MULA  J. L. SUÁREZ  P. MORRONDO  P. DÍEZ‐BAÑOS  R. SÁNCHEZ‐ANDRADE  A. PAZ‐SILVA 《Equine veterinary journal》2009,41(7):713-715

The aim of this study was to assess, by a clinical trial, the efficacy of an ivermectin‐based pour‐on treatment against gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes in naturally infected horses using 2 groups of mature indigenous Pura Raza Galega grazing mares. Faecal and blood samples were collected individually over a 21 week period. Faeces were analysed by the coprological flotation, sedimentation and migration techniques. Changes in circulating blood cells were monitored over the study period. The administration of the ivermectin suppressed the eggelimination of ascarids and pinworms throughout the study and no strongyle‐eggs were observed in the treatment group between the 3rd and 10th weeks. The numbers of red cells increased significantly after the anthelmintic therapy, and a statistical reduction in circulating leucocytes was recorded. No side effects were observed. The pour‐on ivermectin formulation was highly successful against gastrointestinal nematodes and appears to be a useful therapeutic routine for large groups of horses.  相似文献   

Quantitative trait loci for stay-greenness and agronomic traits provide new insights into chlorophyll homeostasis and nitrogen use in rice

Functional stay-green (FSG) is characterized by delayed senescence during the reproductive stage in rice. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from ‘Pusa 677’/‘PSG16’ was used to study the genetics of FSG in a rice mutant, ‘PSG16’. The RILs exhibited significant variation under two N regimes for agro-morphological traits, leaf chlorophyll content, flowering time, yield components and nitrogen (N) use. Using a genome wide linkage map spanning 1910.8 cM with 104 polymorphic markers, we have mapped six major quantitative trait loci (QTLs). One robust QTL on chromosome 1 was associated consistently across different N regimes with chlorophyll content and flowering time. The QTL on chromosome 7 was associated with grain number, whereas the QTL on chromosome 6 was found related to N harvest index and spikelet fertility. Although ‘PSG16’ showed a clear advantage in grain yield as well as having better N assimilation, we could not establish a direct genetic relationship SG trait and N use. Based on the QTL information, FSG trait of ‘PSG16’ could be useful in deciphering multiple stress responses in rice.  相似文献   

Effect of antifeedants on the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and its parasitoid Cotesia plutellae     

Dayani R Perera  Geoffrey Armstrong  Nanda Senanayake 《Pest management science》2000,56(5):486-490

Two neem preparations and the bitter‐tasting synthetic chemical denatonium benzoate were tested in the laboratory as antifeedants against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L. The effects of the three materials on Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov), a hymenopteran parasitoid of ­P xylostella, were also recorded. All three materials significantly reduced the food consumption of ­P xylostella larvae. Parasitoid cocoons were formed on approximately half of those larvae which had been exposed to female C plutellae, regardless of antifeedant treatment, but emergence of adult parasitoids from the cocoons was significantly reduced by antifeedant treatment. In terms of food consumption and mortality of unparasitised P xylostella larvae, and emergence of adult C plutellae, the effect of each antifeedant preparation was directly related to the concentration of material used, but the effects of the neem preparations were greater than those of denatonium benzoate. However, no adult P xylostella emerged on any antifeedant treatment, therefore some of the parasitoids survived antifeedant treatments which were fatal to the unparasitised hosts. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献
