Placement of intraluminal stents for treating tracheal collapse in dogs     

Glaus TM  Matos JM  Baloi P  Wenger M 《Schweizer Archiv für Tierheilkunde》2011,153(11):505-508

Tracheal collapse is a progressive disease particularly of small breed dogs. In the terminal stage, when dyspnea becomes the dominating sign and is no longer manageable with medical treatment, a surgical procedure is necessary. With increasing frequency intraluminal tracheal stents are implanted minimal-invasively. In individual animals this is a lifesaving procedure, leading to immediate elimination of dyspnea. In most dogs cough for some time has to be anticipated as the stent acts as a foreign body, but severe complications like excessive formation of granulation tissue, stent migration or stent fracture are rare. Stents represent an attractive treatment modality for tracheal collapse in dogs with dyspnea.  相似文献   

Molecular characterisation of Cryptosporidium isolates from pre-weaned calves in Romania: is there an actual risk of zoonotic infections?     

Imre K  Lobo LM  Matos O  Popescu C  Genchi C  Dărăbuş G 《Veterinary parasitology》2011,181(2-4):321-324

Diarrheic fecal samples from 258 pre-weaned calves (1-30 day-old) from 9 dairy farms located in Banat region, Romania, were microscopically examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium oocysts. Overall, 65 (25%) samples were found positive. A higher percent of infection was recorded in calves aged between 8 and 14 days compared with other age categories (1-7, 8-14, 15-21 and 22-30 days; p<0.05). Genetic characterization was carried out on all Cryptosporidium-positive samples. After DNA extraction, Cryptosporidium species were determined by a nested PCR of the small subunit rRNA gene (18S) followed by RFLP analysis with SspI, VspI and MboII restriction enzymes. The restriction patterns showed that animals were infected with Cryptosporidium parvum. Subsequently, subtyping of 13 C. parvum isolates, based on sequence analysis of the 60 kDa glycoprotein (GP60) gene, showed 2 subtypes (IIaA15G2R1 and IIaA16G1R1) belonging to the subtype family IIa. This is the first molecular study of bovine Cryptosporidium infection in Romania.  相似文献

Biodegradation and Phytotoxicity of Biodiesel,Diesel, and Petroleum in Soil     

Jaqueline Matos Cruz  Ivo Shodji Tamada  Paulo Renato Matos Lopes  Renato Nallin Montagnolli  Ederio Dino Bidoia 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2014,225(5):1-9

Biogas must be pretreated before its use; thus, both physical and chemical methods have been implemented to remove the fuel’s principal pollutants (CO₂ and H₂S). Additional removal methods that use microorganisms’ biological processes to eliminate pollutants have also emerged. A selection was made from six bacterial isolates to obtain consortia that removed CO₂ and eventually H₂S through the enrichment of cultures and the construction of clone libraries of gene 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA). The results indicate that the principal differences between consortia were determined in the culture medium. C5 and C6 consortia had photosynthetic biomass 1.42 and 1.52 μg/ml, respectively, and concentration of dissolved CO₂ 100.6 and 99.1 mg/l, respectively. The clone libraries showed that Rhodopseudomonas sp. had percentages 46.6, 42.5, and 86.8 % in C4, C5, and C6, respectively; Xanthobacter sp., 24.5 %, Castellaniella sp., 18 % in C5, and Sphingobium sp., 39.2 % in C4.  相似文献

Chickens treated with a nitric oxide inhibitor became more resistant to Plasmodium gallinaceum infection due to reduced anemia,thrombocytopenia and inflammation     

Barbarella Matos de Macchi  Farlen José Bebber Miranda  Fernanda Silva de Souza  Eulógio Carlos Queiroz de Carvalho  Ant?nio Peixoto Albernaz  José Luiz Martins do Nascimento  Renato Augusto DaMatta 《Veterinary research》2013,44(1):8

Malaria is a serious infectious disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus that affect different vertebrate hosts. Severe malaria leads to host death and involves different pathophysiological phenomena such as anemia, thrombocytopenia and inflammation. Nitric oxide (NO) is an important effector molecule in this disease, but little is known about its role in avian malaria models. Plasmodium gallinaceum- infected chickens were treated with aminoguanidine (AG), an inhibitor of inducible nitric oxide synthase, to observe the role of NO in the pathogenesis of this avian model. AG increased the survival of chickens, but also induced higher parasitemia. Treated chickens demonstrated reduced anemia and thrombocytopenia. Moreover, erythrocytes at different stages of maturation, heterophils, monocytes and thrombocytes were infected by Plasmodium gallinaceum and animals presented a generalized leucopenia. Activated leukocytes and thrombocytes with elongated double nuclei were observed in chickens with higher parasitemia; however, eosinophils were not involved in the infection. AG reduced levels of hemozoin in the spleen and liver, indicating lower inflammation. Taken together, the results suggest that AG reduced anemia, thrombocytopenia and inflammation, explaining the greater survival rate of the treated chickens.  相似文献   

Immunolocalization of Melatonin and Follicle‐Stimulating Hormone Receptors in Caprine Ovaries and their Effects During in vitro Development of Isolated Pre‐Antral Follicles     

VRP Barros  AYP Cavalcante  TJS Macedo  RS Barberino  TLB Lins  BB Gouveia  VG Menezes  MAA Queiroz  VR Araújo  RC Palheta Jr  MCP Leite  MHT Matos 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2013,48(6):1025-1033

The expression of melatonin type 1 (MT1) and FSH (FSHR) receptors in caprine ovaries and the effects of these hormones on the in vitro development of isolated pre‐antral follicles were evaluated. Follicles (≤200 μm) were cultured for 12 days in α‐MEM (control) or melatonin (100 or 1000 pg/ml) or sequential melatonin medium (100 pg/ml: from day 0 to day 6; 1000 pg/ml: from day 6 to day 12; experiment 1) and in control or sequential FSH (100 ng/ml from day 0 to day 6; 500 ng/ml from day 6 to day 12) or sequential melatonin or this latter plus sequential FSH (experiment 2). MT1 and FSHR expressions were observed in granulosa cells from secondary and antral follicles. The oocytes from primordial and primary follicles also express FSHR. Sequential melatonin increased the percentage of normal follicles and oocyte recovery compared with the control or melatonin (1000 pg/ml) at day 12. In experiment 2, all the treatments increased the normal follicles and growth compared with the control. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the presence of MT1 and FSHR in caprine ovaries. The addition of increased concentrations of melatonin (sequential medium) or FSH can be used to promote the in vitro development of caprine pre‐antral follicles.  相似文献   

Expression of Aquaporin Water Channels in Equine Endometrium is Differentially Regulated During the Oestrous Cycle and Early Pregnancy     

C Klein  MHT Troedsson  J Rutllant 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2013,48(4):529-537

The expression of 12 different aquaporin subtypes in equine endometrium was examined at the mRNA and protein level. Endometrial samples were obtained during anoestrus, oestrus, 8, and 14 days after ovulation in non‐pregnant mares, and 14 days after ovulation in pregnant mares. Quantitative PCR revealed a time‐dependent pattern for all aquaporin subtypes examined except for AQP10 and 12. AQP3, 5 and 7 showed highest mRNA abundance 8 days after ovulation, while AQP0 and 2 were most abundant at Day 14 of the cycle in non‐pregnant mares. At 14 days of pregnancy, AQP1, 4, 8, 9 and 11 displayed highest expression levels. Western blot analysis confirmed protein expression of AQP0, 2 and 5. Immunohistochemistry localized protein expression to luminal and glandular epithelial and stromal cells. AQP0 staining intensity was highest in samples obtained on Day 14 of the oestrous cycle. AQP2 immunoreactivity seemed to be stronger in samples collected 14 days after ovulation from non‐pregnant animals, in particular luminal epithelial staining. Samples collected 8 days after ovulation from cyclic animals were characterized by intense AQP5 staining of glandular epithelium, predominantly in the deeper glands. Progesterone treatment of anoestrous mares did not enhance expression of AQPs, indicating that factors other than progesterone are required for the up‐regulation of certain AQP subtypes during dioestrus. In conclusion, it seems that an equine‐specific collaboration of aquaporin subtypes contributes to changes in endometrial fluid content occurring throughout the oestrous cycle and contributes to endometrial receptivity during early pregnancy in the mare.  相似文献
