A comparison of two intramuscular doses of xylazine–ketamine combination and tolazoline reversal in llamas     

WR  DuBois  TM Prado  JCH Ko  RE Mandsager  GL Morgan 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2003,30(2):114-115

The anesthetic and cardiorespiratory effects of a low dose (LD, 0.4 mg kg^?1 xylazine and 4 mg kg^?1 ketamine) and a high dose (HD, 0.8 mg kg^?1 xylazine and 8 mg kg^?1 ketamine) of IM xylazine–ketamine combination were compared in a randomized cross‐over study using six castrated male llamas. Three llamas in each dosage group (LDT, HDT) were assigned to receive IM tolazoline (2 mg kg^?1) after 30 minutes of recumbency. All IM injections were given in the semitendinosus or semimembranosus muscles. Pulse, respiratory rate, and indirect arterial blood pressure were recorded every 10 minutes, and hemoglobin oxygen saturation was recorded every 5 minutes during lateral recumbency. Samples for arterial blood gas analysis were collected 5 minutes following recumbency and every 30 minutes thereafter. Base‐to‐apex ECG was monitored continuously. Analgesia was evaluated every 5 minutes by both a 30 minutes skin pinch and a needle prick of the toe. Most llamas breathed room air throughout anesthesia. Two llamas that developed severe hypoxemia (SpO₂ < 75%) received 5 minutes of nasal oxygen insufflation, but were maintained on room air for the rest of the anesthetic period. anova for repeated measures and Tukey's test were used to analyze cardiorespiratory data. Fischer's exact test was used to compare the ability of each to provide >30 minutes of lateral recumbency and analgesia. A p‐value < 0.05 was considered significant. Both dosages provided reasonably rapid induction following injection (LD: 10.8 ± 6.3 minutes; HD: 5.0 ± 1.1 minutes; p = 0.07). Duration of lateral recumbency and analgesia were 34.7 ± 6.7 and 27.3 ± 4.6 minutes, respectively, in the LDT llamas. None of the three remaining LD llamas remained in lateral recumbency for longer than 12 minutes. Duration of lateral recumbency and analgesia were 87.3 ± 18.5 and 67.7 ± 16.0 minutes, respectively, for the HD llamas that did not receive tolazoline. The HDT llamas were recumbent for a significantly shorter time (43.3 ± 0.6 minutes; p = 0.05). The ability to provide >30 minutes of recumbency and analgesia was better in the HD group (6/6) than in the LD group (2/6) (p = 0.03). No differences between dosages were seen in pulse rate, respiratory rate, or arterial pressures. No ECG abnormalities were seen. Transient hypoxemia was seen in the first 10 minutes of lateral recumbency in the HD group by both hemoglobin oxygen saturation (84 ± 9.5%) and by blood gas PaO₂ (44.5 ± 5.8 mm Hg). It was concluded that the HD provided more consistent results than the LD, but induced transient hypoxemia. Tolazoline shortened the recovery time in llamas receiving the HD.  相似文献

Effect of smoking process on changes in the content of selected non-ortho- and mono-ortho-PCB congeners in mackerel slices     

Witczak A  Ciereszko W 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2006,54(15):5664-5671

The study involved determination of changes in the content of toxic dioxin-like coplanar non-ortho (PCB 77, PCB 126, PCB 169) and mono-ortho (PCB 156, PCB 157, PCB 114) congeners in mackerel slices during cold and hot smoking. In addition, the risk of toxicological exposure of the consumers of examined smoking products was assessed by calculating toxic equivalency (TEQs) in relation to 2,3,7,8-TCDD dioxin. In the final stages of hot smoking a small increase was observed in the content of analyzed compounds due to the presence of PCBs in the smoke. The main factor determining the changes in the content of these compounds in fish slices may have been their loss with the lipid leakage and in codistillation with water vapor. The hot smoking of mackerel slices contributed to a decrease in the content of examined non-ortho- and mono-ortho-PCB congeners in final products and in consequence to a drop of TEQs by 14.2%. On the other hand, cold smoking led to a rise in the content of analyzed PCB congeners in the final product, which significantly affected the increase of TEQs level by 31.7% in relation to initial raw material.  相似文献   

In vivo administration of acepromazine or promethazine to horse decreases the reactive oxygen species production response of subsequently isolated neutrophils to stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate     

F. PÉTERS  T. FRANCK  M. PEQUITO  G. de la REBIÈRE  S. GRULKE  A. SALCCICIA  D. VERWILGHEN  L. CHIAVACCINI  G. DEBY-DUPONT  & D. SERTEYN 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》2009,32(6):541-547

The previous experiments have shown that some phenothiazines have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro . In this study the inhibition of the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by neutrophils was studied in two groups of horses, which received a dose of 0.1 mg/kg of either acepromazine or promethazine intravenously. Blood samples were collected before (T0) and 0.5, 1, 3 and 5 h after drug administration. The chemiluminescence (CML) response of neutrophils was measured ex vivo in the presence of luminol for a period of 10 min and the maximum CML value (peak value) recorded. There was a significant inhibition of the ROS production in the acepromazine treated group (49% inhibition) at 5 h after administration and in the promethazine group (24% inhibition) at 3 h after administration ( P  < 0.05 vs. T0). These findings are of therapeutic relevance in the use of phenothiazines in equine patients with inflammatory diseases where neutrophil activation and ROS production are implicated.  相似文献   

Prolactin signaling in porcine adrenocortical cells: involvement of protein kinases     

Kaminska B  Ciereszko RE  Opalka M  Dusza L 《Domestic animal endocrinology》2002,23(4):E609-491

Prolactin (PRL) was found to have a stimulatory effect on adrenal steroidogenesis in vivo and in vitro in several species including pigs. PRL signal transduction pathways, however, in adrenocortical cells are poorly recognized. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to ascertain the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) and tyrosine kinases in PRL signaling in porcine adrenal cortex. Adrenals were harvested from locally slaughtered mature gilts. Cortical cells were dispersed by sequential treatment with collagenase. The cells were seeded into 24-well culture plates at a density of 3×10⁵/mL. Cells were incubated with or without PRL (500 ng/mL), ACTH (5 nM—a positive control), tyrosine kinase inhibitor—genistein (1; 2.5 or 5 μM), PKC inhibitor—sphingosine (20–1000 nM) and PKC activators—diacylglycerol (DiC8; 10–100 μM) and phorbol ester (PMA; 1–1000 nM). All incubations were performed for 8 h (95% air and 5% CO₂, 37°C). PRL and ACTH (P<0.05) increased cortisol and androstenedione (A₄) secretion. DiC8 and PMA mimicked the stimulatory effect of PRL. Sphingosine (P<0.05) suppressed basal and PRL-stimulated steroid secretion. Genistein inhibited (P<0.05) PRL-stimulated cortisol secretion and enhanced (P<0.05) basal and PRL-stimulated A₄ secretion. Moreover, PKC activation was assessed by measuring the specific association of [³H]phorbol dibutyrate ([³H]PDBu) with adrenocortical cells after treatment with PRL or ionomycin (a positive control). PRL (within 2–3 min) and ionomycin (within 2–5 min) increased (P<0.05) specific binding of [³H]PDBu to the porcine adrenocortical cells. In addition, PRL did not augment the cortisol and A₄ secretion by PKC-deficient adrenocortical cells. In conclusion, presented results support the hypothesis that PKC and tyrosine kinases are involved in PRL signaling in adrenocortical cells in pigs. Moreover, activation of PKC is associated with the increased secretion of cortisol and A₄.  相似文献

Atmospheric general circulation models used for climate simulation and weather forecasting require the fluxes of radiation, heat, water vapor, and momentum across the land-atmosphere interface to be specified. These fluxes are calculated by submodels called land surface parameterizations. Over the last 20 years, these parameterizations have evolved from simple, unrealistic schemes into credible representations of the global soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer system as advances in plant physiological and hydrological research, advances in satellite data interpretation, and the results of large-scale field experiments have been exploited. Some modern schemes incorporate biogeochemical and ecological knowledge and, when coupled with advanced climate and ocean models, will be capable of modeling the biological and physical responses of the Earth system to global change, for example, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide.  相似文献   

Circulating Metabolic Hormones During the Peripubertal Period and Their Association with Testicular Development in Bulls     

LFC Brito  AD Barth  NC Rawlings  RE Wilde  DH Crews Jr    PS Mir  JP Kastelic 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2007,42(5):502-508

The objective of the present study was to characterize changes in serum metabolic hormones concentrations from 20 weeks before to 20 weeks post-puberty in bulls and to investigate the associations of metabolic hormones concentrations with testicular development. Leptin concentrations increased from 16 weeks before puberty to 8 weeks post-puberty and insulin concentrations increased from puberty to 8 weeks post-puberty. Growth hormone concentrations decreased after 4 weeks post-puberty, whereas IGF-I concentrations increased from 8 weeks before puberty to 8 weeks post-puberty. During this period, testicular growth was accelerated and testosterone secretion increased substantially, without any significant changes in gonadotropin secretion. Monthly circulating concentrations of leptin, IGF-I and insulin accounted for 63% of the variation in scrotal circumference and 59% of the variation in paired testes volume. In conclusion, the secretion of metabolic hormones was not associated with changes in gonadotropins concentrations. Furthermore, the associations of leptin, IGF-I and insulin concentrations with testes size indicated that these hormones might be involved in a gonadotropin-independent mechanism regulating the testicular development in peripubertal bulls.  相似文献   

Effect of breed of cattle on innate resistance to infection with <i>Babesia bovis, B bigemina and Anaplasma marginale     

RE BOCK  AJ de  VOS  TG KINGSTON  DJ McLELLAN 《Australian veterinary journal》1997,75(5):337-340

Objective To assess the innate resistance of naive Bos taurus, Bos taurus cross Bos indicus and Bos indicus cattle to virulent Babesia bovis, B bigemina and Anaplasma marginale parasites. Design Groups of 10, pure B indicus, fi B indicus cross,/B indicus cross and pure B taurus steers were infected with virulent B bovis, B bigemina and A marginale parasites. Procedure Sequential infections were carried out by intravenous inoculation of infected blood containing 1 times 10⁸ parasites of B bovis, followed by B bigemina and then A marginale. To assess resistance, measurements were made of parasitaemia, rectal temperature, packed cell volume and the number within a group requiring chemotherapy to control infection. There was a recovery period between each infection. Results Infection with B bovis showed that pure B indicus steers were significantly more resistant to B bovis infection than the other groups, with none of this group requiring treatment. There was no significant difference between fi B indicus cross and/B indicus cross with 30% and 20%, respectively, of steers in these groups requiring treatment. The pure B taurus steers were significantly more affected then those in the other three groups with 80% requiring treatment. Infections of B bigemina produced a mild response in comparison to that of B bovis and none of the steers required treatment. However, the pure B taurus group was significantly more affected than the other three groups for all other measurements. After the A marginale infection, B indicus steers were moderately affected with 50% requiring treatment, whereas 70% of the fi B indicus group, 80% of the /B indicus cross group and 100% of the pure B taurus group required treatment. Conclusions All breeds of cattle, ranging from pure B indicus to pure B taurus may be at risk of severe disease if exposed to virulent A marginale. The results confirm that pure B indicus cattle are relatively resistant to B bovis, but there could be a significant risk of severe mortalities if cross-bred herds are exposed to virulent infection.  相似文献
