Conception rates of dairy cows are currently declining at an estimated 1% every year. Approximately, 35% of embryos fail to prevent luteolysis during the first three weeks of gestation. Interactions between the corpus luteum, endometrium and embryo are critical to the successful establishment of pregnancy and inadequacies will result in the mortality of the embryo. For example, as little as a one day delay in the post-ovulatory rise of progesterone has serious consequences for embryo development and survival. Recently, we found that LH support, degree of vascularization and luteal cell steroidogenic capacity were not the major factors responsible for this luteal inadequacy, but are nevertheless essential for luteal development and function. Progesterone acting on its receptor in the endometrium stimulates the production of endometrial secretions on which the free-living embryo is dependent. However, their exact composition and effects of inadequate progesterone remains to be determined. The embryo is recognized through its secretion of interferon tau (IFNT), which suppresses luteolytic pulses of prostaglandin F2α . In the cow, it is most likely that IFNT inhibits oxytocin receptor up-regulation directly and does not require the prior inhibition of oestrogen receptor α (ESR1). Unravelling the precise luteal-endometrium and embryo interactions is essential for us to understand pregnancy establishment and development of strategies to reverse the declining fertility of dairy cows. 相似文献

Antioxidants have been widely used during in vitro production to decrease the negative effect of reactive oxygen species. It was reported that the complex resveratrol–methyl β‐cyclodextrin (RV ‐CD ) improves resveratrol's stability and bioavailability and increases its antioxidant activity. This study evaluates the effect of RV ‐CD during in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM ) or in vitro embryo culture (IVC ) on developmental competence and quantitative changes in gene expression of developmental important genes. In experiment 1, RV ‐CD was added to IVM media and maturation level, embryo development and oocytes, cumulus cells, and blastocysts gene expression by RT ‐qPCR were examined. In experiment 2, presumptive zygotes were cultured in SOF supplemented with RV ‐CD and embryo development and blastocysts gene expression by RT ‐qPCR were studied. A group without RV ‐CD (control?) and a group with cyclodextrin (control+) were included. No differences were found in cleavage rate or blastocyst yield between groups. However, the expression of LIPE was higher in blastocysts derived from oocytes treated with resveratrol compared with control groups (p < .05). Blastocysts produced by IVC with resveratrol showed that RV ‐CD could modify the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism (CYP 51A1 , PNPLA 2 and MTORC 1 ) compared with control groups (p < .05). RV ‐CD in the IVM and IVC media could reduce accumulated fat by increasing lipolysis and suppressing lipogenesis of blastocysts. 相似文献

Objective To describe how various antimicrobials are used in commercial pig herds in Australia and for what disease conditions.
Procedure Managers of large pig herds (> 200 sows) across Australia and their veterinarians participated in an internet-based survey in 2006. Questions were asked about herd management, the occurrence of bacterial diseases and the type and frequency of antimicrobial use. An antimicrobial usage index for each herd was derived as a summary of the risk of selection for antimicrobial resistance. Relationships between responses were explored with univariate and multivariate analysis.
Results Responses were received for 197 herds estimated to represent at least 51% of all large pig herds in Australia. Most piggeries relied on drugs of low importance in human medicine (e.g. tetracyclines, penicillins and sulfonamides). For the two drugs of high importance in human medicine that can be legally prescribed to pigs in Australia, ceftiofur use was reported in 25% of herds and virginiamycin in none. Infections attributed to Lawsonia , Mycoplasma and Escherichia coli motivated the most use of antimicrobials. No useful association was found between management factors and the antimicrobial use index.
Conclusion Most antimicrobial use in the Australian pig industry is based on drugs of low importance to public health. Enhanced control of E. coli infections without reliance on antimicrobials would further reduce the risk of selecting for antimicrobial resistance relevant to public health. The amount of variation in the usage index between herds suggests that antimicrobial use should be constantly reviewed on a herd by herd basis. 相似文献

Morphine is considered the prototypical opiate analgesic. Despite the common use of morphine in dogs, ideal dosing strategies have not been formulated due to the difficulty in assessing its analgesic effects. The purpose of this study was to: 1) evaluate a noninvasive mechanical threshold device (von Frey device) to measure antinociceptive responses (pharmacodynamics) of opiates in dogs and 2) evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of intravenous (IV) morphine in dogs. Six healthy Beagle dogs were used. The von Frey threshold (vFT) response was evaluated hourly for 8 hours in each dog to examine the effect of repeated testing (controls). PK and PD (vFT) measurements were then made following a 1 mg kg–1 IV bolus of morphine sulfate. A two way blinded crossover consisted of an 8 hour IV constant rate infusion of saline or morphine with hourly PD measurements. The individual CRI was based on individual PK data and adjusted every 2 hours to attain targeted plasma concentrations of morphine of 10, 20, 30, and 40 ng mL–1. Blood samples were taken hourly in all phases, except the controls. No significant (p > 0.05) intraindividual changes in vFT occurred in the controls over 8 hours. The morphine bolus produced increased vFT at 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post injection (p < 0.05). The EMAX and EC50 following the IV bolus were 213 ± 104% (increase from baseline) and 13.9 ± 5.8 ng mL–1, respectively. The CRI produced increased vFT at plasma concentrations >30 ng mL–1, when compared to saline controls (p < 0.05). Targeted plasma concentrations were inconsistent at higher infusion rates, suggesting the PK of morphine may change during CRI. The actual mean ± SD CRI plasma concentrations (ng ml–1) were 10.8 ± 3.0, 22.7 ± 7.4, 32.4 ± 13.9, 35.7 ± 16.9. Morphine dosing protocols should be re‐evaluated, as sufficient analgesia may not be obtained from published dosages. Intravenous boluses may be more predictable than CRI. 相似文献

CASE HISTORY: A feral cat captured in the Manawatu region of New Zealand was treated for worms and fleas, and kept confined in a metabolic cage. It showed good appetite and weight gain but had intermittent watery, yellow diarrhoea. CLINICAL FINDINGS: Clinical examination under sedation was unremarkable and routine blood tests showed no significant abnormalities. The cat was negative for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukaemia virus (FeLV). Different canned cat foods did not alter the course of the diarrhoea, and the cat was euthanised 6 months after capture. At necropsy, two sections of adult Spirometra tapeworms were found in the jejunum and typical Spirometra eggs were found in colonic contents. Molecular identification of the parasite was undertaken, using the cytochrome- c oxidase subunit-1 gene (cox1) sequence. DIAGNOSIS: Chronic intermittent diarrhoea associated with Spirometra erinacei / S. erinaceieuropaei infection. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Spirometra has not been reported in New Zealand before but has been associated with gastrointestinal disease in cats in other parts of the world. It requires speciestargeted treatment to be eliminated effectively, and is zoonotic. Diagnosis could be diffi cult for clinicians who are not familiar with the parasite and its life cycle. 相似文献
