For investigations of CO2-stunning of feeder- and slaughter-pigs parameters of behaviour, blood-gas-analyses and electroencephalograms were chosen. The following results were obtained: 1. Blood-gas-analyses proved that the CO2-stunning does not produce unconsciousness due to a lack of oxygen. 2. The criterias of general anaesthesia: unconsciousness, muscle-relaxation and analgesia with total reversibility could be confirmed. 3. The violent convulsive symptoms were evaluated as reactions identical with the stage II of GUEDEL's scheme of anaesthesia. 4. Muscular agitation, which sometimes appeared a few seconds before the stage of excitation, was judged to belong either to the start of the excitation phase or to the end of Guedel's stage of analgesia, during which the sensitivity is decreased. Neither study of behavior nor objective measurements showed, during the first 10 to 20 seconds of exposure to the CO2, any sign of pain or suffering related to the Act for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and accordingly such suffering should not be ascribed to the CO2 stunning method.  相似文献

Effects of growth factors (EGF,PDGF-BB and TGF-beta 1) on cultured equine epithelial cells and keratocytes: implications for wound healing     

Haber M  Cao Z  Panjwani N  Bedenice D  Li WW  Provost PJ 《Veterinary ophthalmology》2003,6(3):211-217

Objective The physiologic mechanisms involving growth factors, including PDGF‐BB, EGF, and TGF‐β1, as potent mediators of fibroblasts and epithelial cells in corneal wound healing remain unknown. The goal of this study was to determine culture methods for equine epithelial cells and keratocytes and to investigate how exogenous growth factors influence proliferation of both cell types. Procedures Cell cultures were established from healthy corneas harvested from horses immediately following euthanasia and maintained using standard tissue culture protocols. To determine the effects of PDGF‐BB, EGF, TGF‐β1, keratocytes (1 × 10⁵/well) and epithelial cells (2 × 10⁵/well) were each cultured in 12 well plates and exposed separately to the growth factors. The cells were exposed to concentrations of EGF between 0 and 50 ng/mL; PDGF‐BB between 0 and 75 ng/mL; and TGF‐β1 between 0 and 10 ng/mL. Cell proliferation was measured using ³H‐thymidine assay and differences in growth determined using anova and Tukey's HSD test (P < 0.05). Results Epithelial cell and keratocyte cultures were successfully established. EGF maximally stimulated keratocyte and epithelial cells at 25 ng/mL and 5 ng/mL, respectively. PDGF‐BB maximally stimulated keratocytes and epithelial cells at 50 ng/mL and 5 ng/mL, respectively. TGF‐β1 inhibited keratocytes at 5 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL, and epithelial cells at 1 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL. Conclusions Methods were established to maintain epithelial cells and keratocytes in vitro. PDGF‐BB and EGF stimulate, while TGF‐β1 inhibits the proliferation of epithelial cells and keratocytes. These growth factors may play a role in maintenance and repair of the equine cornea.  相似文献   

Effects of nonesterified fatty acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate on functions of mononuclear cells obtained from ewes     

Lacetera N  Franci O  Scalia D  Bernabucci U  Ronchi B  Nardone A 《American journal of veterinary research》2002,63(3):414-418

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) on functions of mononuclear cells obtained from ewes. ANIMALS: 6 Sardinian ewes. PROCEDURE: Mononuclear cells were cultured with concentrations of NEFA (0, 15.6, 31.2, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 micromol/L) and BHBA (0, 0.45, 0.9, 1.8, or 3.6 mmol/L). Concentrations of NEFA and BHBA were intended to mimic those of ketotic or healthy ewes, and NEFA and BHBA were tested alone and in combination. Synthesis of DNA was stimulated by use of concanavalin A (Con A) or pokeweed-mitogen (PWM). Secretion of IgM was stimulated by use of PWM. RESULTS: Synthesis of DNA stimulated by Con A and PWM was significantly inhibited by high concentrations of NEFA (> or = 250 micromol/L) or by a combination of high concentrations of NEFA (> or = 250 micromol/L) and all concentrations of BHBA (> or = 0.45 mmol/L). In contrast, DNA synthesis was not inhibited by low concentrations of NEFA (< or = 125 micromol/L) or by a combination of low concentrations of NEFA (< or = 125 micromol/L) and the lowest concentration of BHBA (0.45 mmol/L). Secretion of IgM was significantly inhibited by all concentrations of NEFA and by all combinations of NEFA and BHBA concentrations. When used alone, none of the concentrations of BHBA inhibited DNA synthesis or IgM secretion. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Reduced immunoresponsiveness during ketosis is likely to be associated with an increase in plasma concentration of NEFA and not with an increase in plasma concentration of BH BA.  相似文献   

Effects on functions of ovine blood mononuclear cells for each of several fatty acids at concentrations found in plasma of healthy and ketotic ewes     

Lacetera N  Franci O  Scalia D  Bernabucci U  Ronchi B  Nardone A 《American journal of veterinary research》2002,63(7):958-962

OBJECTIVE: To assess effects on functions of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from ewes for each of several fatty acids represented in ovine plasma at concentrations mimicking those of ketotic or healthy ewes. SAMPLE POPULATION: Blood samples obtained from 6 Sardinian ewes. PROCEDURE: The PBMC were cultured in media that contained oleic (OA), palmitic (PA), stearic (SA), linoleic (LA), or palmitoleic (POA) acid at concentrations similar to those of ketotic or healthy ewes. Synthesis of DNA was stimulated by use of concanavalin A or pokeweed mitogen (PWM). Secretion of IgM was stimulated by use of PWM. RESULTS: High concentrations (900, 450, and 225 micromol/L) of OA significantly inhibited DNA synthesis and IgM secretion of PBMC. Conversely, low concentrations (56 or 28 micromol/L) of OA significantly enhanced DNA synthesis of PBMC. High concentrations of PA (600, 300, 150, 75, 375, or 18.7 micromol/L) and SA (300, 150, or 75 micromol/L) significantly inhibited DNA synthesis of PBMC. High concentrations of PA (600, 300, 150, 75, 375, or 18.7 micromol/L) and SA (300, 150, 75, or 38 micromol/L) also significantly inhibited IgM secretion of PBMC. None of the concentrations of LA and POA affected PBMC functions. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Impaired immunoresponsiveness of ketotic ewes is likely associated with an increase of plasma concentrations of OA, PA, or SA and not with that of LA or POA. At physiologic concentrations, single fatty acids are likely to participate in modulation of immunoresponsiveness by exerting suppressive or stimulatory effects on immune cells.  相似文献

Flystrike prevention on Merino lambs with the insect growth regulator dicyclanil     

Schmid HR  Hyman WB  de Bruin C  van Zyl AP  Junquera P 《Journal of the South African Veterinary Association》2000,71(1):28-30

The efficacy of a ready-to-use 5% dicyclanil pour-on formulation as a preventative of natural flystrike on Merino lambs was investigated in a field trial involving 5 sites in the southern Cape Province. A total of 1,804 lambs treated with dicyclanil were compared with 882 untreated control lambs for up to 25 weeks after treatment. Efficacy was assessed by calculating the weekly cumulative strike rate at each site and aggregated for all sites, as well as by calculating the percentage reduction achieved in treated lambs. Cumulative strike rates for the untreated controls aggregated for all sites at Weeks 9,14 and 19 after treatment reached 6.2, 12.8 and 17.8%, respectively, compared with 0.4, 1.7 and 3.6% for the dicyclanil treated lambs. Percentage control aggregated for all sites at Weeks 9,14 and 19 after treatment was 93, 87 and 80%, respectively. Heavy rains during the 1st half of the trial did not substantially reduce the efficacy of the product.  相似文献
