Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI in a juvenile miniature schnauzer dog with concurrent hypertriglyceridemia,necrotizing pancreatitis,and diabetic ketoacidosis

A 7-month-old, neutered male miniature schnauzer dog with a history of cryptorchidism and umbilical hernia was referred for diabetic ketoacidosis. Clinical evaluation revealed stunted growth, skeletal abnormalities, hypertriglyceridemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Further testing was diagnostic for mucopolysaccharidosis type VI causing the stunted growth and skeletal deformities, but no connection between mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, hypertriglyceridemia, and pancreatic diseases was found.  相似文献   

Clinical and histopathological features and prognosis of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas in Jack Russell Terriers     

Aki OHMI  Koichi OHNO  James K. CHAMBERS  Kazuyuki UCHIDA  Taisuke NAKAGAWA  Hirotaka TOMIYASU  Hajime TSUJIMOTO 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2021,83(2):167

There has been an increase in the number of Jack Russell Terriers (JRTs) diagnosed with adenomas and adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract in Japan. This study retrospectively investigated the clinical and histopathological features and prognosis of adenocarcinomas arising in the gastrointestinal tract in JRT dogs. Seven JRTs and 39 dogs of other breeds diagnosed with gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma were included in the study. The most common sites of gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma in JRTs were the pylorus and rectum. On histopathological examination, these adenocarcinomas showed a papillary or tubular growth pattern, and the lesions were confined within the mucosal epithelium and poorly invasive. Among all dogs with gastric adenocarcinoma, the median survival time (MST) for five of the JRTs could not be determined because more than half of the cases remained alive, while the MST for nine non-JRT dogs was 34 days. Among all dogs with adenocarcinoma in the large intestine, the MST for three of the JRTs could not be determined, while the MST for nine non-JRT dogs was 1,973 days. The difference in MST between JRT and non-JRT dogs with gastric adenocarcinoma was significant (P=0.0220). Since gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas in JRTs show distinct characteristics with respect to their clinical features, treatment course, and prognosis, a different surgical and medical treatment plan should be considered compared to the management of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas in other dog breeds.  相似文献

Tracheal chondrosarcoma in a blue tegu (Salvator merianae)     

Yuki IWATA  Hirotaka KONDO  Iori KOIZUMI  Hisashi SHIBUYA 《The Journal of veterinary medical science / the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science》2021,83(6):981

An 8-year-and-1-month-old female blue tegu (Salvator merianae) was brought to a clinician with severe cough. The patient died 11 days later despite supportive care, and necropsy was performed by a clinician. The lumen of the distal trachea was almost completely occluded by a milk-white, hard mass measuring 1 cm in diameter. Histopathologically, the mass comprised spindle-shaped to polygonal cells arranged in a loose sheet with abundant production of basophilic cartilaginous matrix, consistent with chondrosarcoma. Reports of tracheal neoplasms in reptiles are limited, and to the best of our knowledge this represents the first pathological documentation of tracheal chondrosarcoma in a reptile.  相似文献   

Determination of acetamiprid,imidacloprid, and nitenpyram residues in vegetables and fruits by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode-array detection   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Obana H  Okihashi M  Akutsu K  Kitagawa Y  Hori S 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2002,50(16):4464-4467

Determination of 3 neonicotinoid insecticides, nitenpyram, imidacloprid, and acetamiprid, was studied. Vegetables and fruits were extracted with acetonitrile. The crude extract was passed through a weak anion-exchange cartridge (PSA). The effluent was subjected to silica gel cartridge. Imidacloprid and acetamiprid were eluted with 10 mL of 4:6 (v/v) acetone/hexane, followed by nitenpyram with acetone (20 mL). Pesticides were determined by HPLC with a C-18 column and diode-array detection system. Imidacloprid and acetamiprid were recovered at about 90% at the spike levels with 0.2 and 2 mg/kg in cucumber, potato, tomato, eggplant, Japanese radish, and grape. Nitenpyram was recovered at 64-80%. Relative standard deviations were less than 10% throughout all the recovery tests. In the residue analysis, agriculturally incurred pesticides at 0.08-0.14 mg/kg were designated with UV spectra compared with respective reference standards.  相似文献

A pea NTPase, PsAPY1, recognizes signal molecules from microorganisms     

Akinori Kiba  Kazuhiro Toyoda  Kazuaki Yoshioka  Kami Tsujimura  Hirotaka Takahashi  Yuki Ichinose  Tadahiro Takeda  Toshiaki Kato  Tomonori Shiraishi 《Journal of General Plant Pathology》2006,72(4):238-246

Apyrases (E.C.3.6.1.5; NTP-NDPases) are distributed in the cytosol, nuclei, cytoskeleton, and on the surface of plant cells. Some may play an important role in signal transduction from exogenous stimuli. We previously found a protein of ca. 55-kDa (CWP-55) in an ATPase-rich fraction from the pea cell wall bound to the elicitor and supprescins (suppressors of defense) from pea pathogen Mycosphaerella pinodes. We cloned the cDNA of CWP-55 that coincided with PsAPY1, one of two NTPase clones in a pea cDNA library. An analysis with a green fluorescent protein fusion protein indicated that PsAPY1 was distributed in the cell wall, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The recombinant PsAPY1 expressed in Escherichia coli had ATP-hydrolyzing activity responsive not only to the elicitor and supprescins from the pea pathogen but also to other elicitors such as a bacterial harpin, a yeast extract, and a synthetic glycopeptide. Biotinylated fungal signal molecules were bound to the recombinant PsAPY1 specifically. Resonant mirror detection confirmed such binding characteristics of PsAPY1. Based on these results, we discuss the role of cell-wall-bound NTPases in recognizing and responding to microorganisms on the cell wall surface.  相似文献   

Feed intake, lactation performance, blood metabolites and fertility in early lactation dairy cows grazing a timothy pasture   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Tsutomu OHGI  Satoshi HARA  Tadao OZEKI  Mamiko FUJITA  Osamu SAKAI  Hirotaka KASHUYA  Akira DOUKOSHI  Kazuyuki NISHIMURA 《Animal Science Journal》2006,77(2):215-222

The present study was conducted to investigate feed intake, milk yield, milk composition, blood metabolites and fertility in early lactation dairy cows grazing a timothy pasture. Fourteen multiparous Holstein cows that calved between 20 May and 19 July were used over a 3‐year period. The stocking rate was 3.6–4.3 cow/ha. Concentrates were fed separately at 9.5–11.5 kg/day per cow (dry matter basis) from 1 to 13 weeks postparturition. Herbage intake was estimated using chromium oxide as an indigestible marker. The mean contents of crude protein, total digestible nutrients and neutral detergent fiber of pasture during the 3‐year study period were 22.3%, 71.8% and 51.7%, and those of total diet were 18.9%, 77.3% and 40.3%, respectively. The mean herbage dry matter intake was 13.0 kg/day from 2 to 13 weeks postparturition during the study, total dry matter intake was 23.7 kg/day, the total digestible nutrients sufficiency rate was 105%, milk yield was 39.7 kg/day, and milk fat percentage was 3.30%. The decrease in bodyweight postparturition was slight. Urea nitrogen concentrations in serum were below 18.3 mg/dL. The mean days to first estrus and days open were 36 and 104 days, respectively. These results indicate that energy deficiency, decrease in bodyweight and fertility in early lactation barely occur when high producing dairy cows are fed enough grazing grass and suitable concentrates.  相似文献
