Diagnosis and successful treatment of a caudal lingual abscess in a geriatric dog          下载免费PDF全文

Kelmer E  Kelmer G  Kerl ME 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》2007,48(8):852-854

A 13-year-old, intact male, golden retriever was presented for glossomegaly. A diagnosis of a caudal lingual abscess was made by fine needle aspiration under general anesthesia. The dog showed marked clinical improvement following abscess drainage. Lingual abscesses should be included as a differential diagnosis in any dog with an unexplained acute glossomegaly.  相似文献   

Influence of Degree of Protein Aggregation on Mass Transport Through Wheat Gluten Membranes and Their Digestibility—An In Vitro Study     

Sandra Domenek  Lothar Brendel  Marie‐Hlne Morel  Stphane Guilbert 《Cereal Chemistry》2004,81(3):423-428

The influence of the network structure of wheat gluten on the barrier properties against enzymes was investigated in vitro. The changes in the network structure were introduced by different temperature treatments. The modifications were assessed with solubility studies of wheat gluten proteins in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The physical barrier properties of wheat gluten membranes were investigated with transport studies examining the transfer of a model protein with no enzymatic activity (BSA) through gluten membranes. The protein network was an effective barrier for BSA, although lightly cross‐linked films were mechanically instable. Membrane breaks occurred in function of the cross‐linking density (percentage of SDS‐insoluble proteins) after only 24 hr for lightly cross‐linked films (≈30% SDS‐insoluble proteins), while highly cross‐linked membranes (≈80% SDS‐insoluble protein) were tight up to more than 33 days. The digestion experiments of the gluten films with pepsin showed that the hydrolysis of wheat gluten films with >72% of SDS‐insoluble protein was significantly retarded. In conclusion, technological treatments to increase the cross‐linking density of gluten have the potential to slow the digestion of cereal‐based foodstuff and to reduce the degradation rate of composite biomaterials.  相似文献   

Protein to carbohydrate ratio in high-energy diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Marie Hillestad  Freddy Johnsen  & Torbjørn Åsgård 《Aquaculture Research》2001,32(7):517-529

The effect of dietary protein to carbohydrate ratios (P/CH, weight percentage) of P34/CH21, P39/CH15 and P44/CH10 was studied in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) with respect to growth and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in one medium-scale experiment (Experiment 1) and to slaughter quality in two production scale experiments (Experiments 2A and 2B). The dietary fat was maintained at 290 g kg⁻¹ whereas the protein (fish meal) was exchanged with carbohydrate (wheat). Fish grown from approximately 1 to 4 kg were fed a restricted diet (iso-energetic on gross energy basis) or to satiation. Nitrogen, fat, starch and energy digestibilities were measured in a separate experiment. There were slight tendencies for lower growth (P = 0.06) and for higher FCRs (P = 0.06) in Experiment 1, and a slight tendency for a lower dress-out percentage in Experiments 2A and 2B (P = 0.10 and 0.20 respectively) with decreasing P/CH. The P/CH had no effect on the fat concentration of fillets, flesh colour or sexual maturation. The digestibility of starch decreased from 62.1% to 46.1% and the digestibility of energy from 84.9% to 79.5% when P/CH decreased from P44/CH10 to P34/CH21. Growth per unit digestible protein increased with decreasing P/CH. Feeding to satiation improved the growth but the FCR was higher than it was for restricted feeding. The calculated starch load per kg of fish growth increased with decreasing P/CH, whereas the effluent nitrogen decreased.  相似文献

Changes in trimethylamine oxide and trimethylamine in muscle of wild and farmed cod (Gadus morhua) during iced storage     

Hilde Herland  Margrethe Esaiassen  Marie Cooper  Ragnar L. Olsen 《Aquaculture Research》2009,41(1):95-102

Trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) is found at high levels in wild Atlantic cod. Trimethylamine oxide is reduced to trimethylamine (TMA) during iced storage. In this study, the levels of TMAO and TMA in wild and farmed cod and the impact of storage, gender and season on these levels were investigated. Wild cod had higher levels of TMAO than farmed cod. Wild cod also had higher levels of TMA after 15 days of iced storage. Farmed cod were found to have levels of TMA‐N <5 mg/100 g after 15 days of iced storage, which is below the maximum permitted level for fresh fish. Therefore, TMA appears to be an unsuitable measure of freshness in farmed cod. Female farmed cod had higher levels of TMAO than male farmed cod; no such difference between genders was found in wild cod. Female and male farmed cod had similar levels of TMA after post‐mortem iced storage. The hepatosomatic index (HSI) of female farmed cod was higher than that seen in male cod and this may be the underlying reason for the differences in muscle TMAO. Levels of TMAO in male farmed cod were higher during the autumn and were correlated with a larger HSI during the same period.  相似文献   

Does reintroduction stabilize the population of the critically endangered gharial (Gavialis gangeticus,Gavialidae) in Chitwan National Park,Nepal?     

Jean‐Marie Ballouard  Pauline Priol  Jean Oison  Alexandre Ciliberti  Antoine Cadi 《水产资源保护:海洋与淡水生态系统》2010,20(7):756-761

• 1 Despite conservation programmes (India 1975, Nepal 1978) gharial populations (Gavialis gangeticus) have declined over their entire distribution range. Information about the current status and main threats is needed to implement effective conservation measures.
• 2 This study presents a survey (2003/2004) of the largest Nepalese gharial population in the Chitwan National Park that has benefited from regular re‐introduction of young gharials since 1981.
• 3 Population size estimates fluctuate between 34 (2003) and 38 (2004). The reintroduction programme, although of limited success, has helped to maintain the gharial population.
• 4 Gharials bask preferentially in large sand banks, and these sites must be protected.
• 5 The main threats are from a dam that causes fish depletion and flushes gharials from the protected area, sand mining and grazing that destroy basking sites, fishing that causes food shortage, drift nets that kill gharial, and water pollution.
• 6 Improvement in the survival of reintroduced gharials is needed. Strict protection of preferred basking sites and prohibition of fishing in the main settling zones are the principal conservation measures while in the long term, education and participatory management by local people are also necessary.

Inactivation of Piscine orthoreovirus     

Øystein Wessel  Elisabeth F. Hansen  Marie Løvoll  Makoto Inami  Asbjørn Husby  Gesa Kruse  Maria K. Dahle  Espen Rimstad 《Journal of fish diseases》2020,43(9):1039-1048

Piscine orthoreovirus infects various salmonid fish species, and the infection is associated with diseases such as heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). There are no vaccines available or genetically selected resistant hosts that can efficiently control piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection. Currently, the only prophylactic measure against PRV is general biosecurity measures aiming to break the transmission cycle. Methods to eradicate infectious virus from contaminated facilities are desirable, but the knowledge on how to inactivate PRV is lacking. A major bottleneck for inactivation studies is the lack of ability to propagate PRV in cell culture. Therefore, in this study we developed an in vivo model for detection of infectious PRV particles after treatment of the virus with inactivation tools such as heat, pH, iodine, UV and commercially available disinfectants. The results show that standard iodine treatment is efficient in inactivation of the virus, and similarly are high and low pH extremes and treatment with Virocid, a commercially available disinfectant. A UV dose of at least 50 mJ/cm² is required for inactivation, and the virus has high resistance against heat treatment.  相似文献   

Development of piscirickettsiosis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) smolts after intraperitoneal and cohabitant challenge using an EM90‐like isolate: A comparative study     

Karla Meza  Makoto Inami  Alf S. Dalum  Ane M. Bjelland  Henning Srum  Marie Lvoll 《Journal of fish diseases》2019,42(7):1001-1011

Piscirickettsiosis, caused by the intracellular Gram‐negative bacteria Piscirickettsia salmonis, is at present the most devastating disease in the Chilean salmon industry. The aim of this study was to analyse disease development after challenge with a P. salmonis strain (EM90‐like) under a controlled environment by comparing intraperitoneal challenge with cohabitation challenge. The P. salmonis EM90‐like isolate was cultured in a liquid medium for the challenge of 400 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts. Cumulative mortality was registered, necropsy was performed, and bacterial distribution in the tissues and histopathological changes were analysed. The results revealed a similar progression of the disease for the two different challenge models. Pathological and histopathological changes became more visible during the development of the clinical phase of the disease. Bacterial DNA was identified in all the analysed tissues indicating a systemic infection. Bacterial tropism to visceral organs was demonstrated by real‐time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Better knowledge of disease development during P. salmonis infection may contribute to further development of challenge models that mimic the field situation during piscirickettsiosis outbreaks. The models can be used to develop and test future preventive measures against the disease.  相似文献   

Environmental influences on life history strategies in partially anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta,Salmonidae)     

Marie Nevoux  Bengt Finstad  Jan Grimsrud Davidsen  Ross Finlay  Quentin Josset  Russell Poole  Johan Hjesj  Kim Aarestrup  Lo Persson  Oula Tolvanen  Bror Jonsson 《Fish and Fisheries》2019,20(6):1051-1082

This paper reviews the life history of brown trout and factors influencing decisions to migrate. Decisions that maximize fitness appear dependent on size at age. In partly anadromous populations, individuals that attain maturity at the parr stage typically become freshwater resident. For individual fish, the life history is not genetically fixed and can be modified by the previous growth history and energetic state in early life. This phenotypic plasticity may be influenced by epigenetic modifications of the genome. Thus, factors influencing survival and growth determine life‐history decisions. These are intra‐ and interspecific competition, feeding and shelter opportunities in freshwater and salt water, temperature in alternative habitats and flow conditions in running water. Male trout exhibit alternative mating strategies and can spawn as a subordinate sneaker or a dominant competitor. Females do not exhibit alternative mating behaviour. The relationship between growth, size and reproductive success differs between sexes in that females exhibit a higher tendency to migrate than males. Southern populations are sensitive to global warming. In addition, fisheries, aquaculture with increased spreading of salmon lice, introduction of new species, weirs and river regulation, poor water quality and coastal developments all threaten trout populations. The paper summarizes life‐history data from six populations across Europe and ends by presenting new research questions and directions for future research.  相似文献
