Photosensitisation and crystal-associated cholangiohepatopathy in sheep grazing Brachiaria decumbens     

RJ GRAYDON †  H. HAMID  P. ZAHARI  C. GARDINER† 《Australian veterinary journal》1991,68(7):234-236

Two outbreaks of photosensitivity and jaundice in sheep grazing the grass, Brachiaria decumbens. In West Java in 1983 and 1983 and 1990 are described. Aggregates of acicular clefts and crystals were present in bile canaliculi, bile ducts, Kupffer cells, hepatocytes and in kidney tubules. The number of crystals increased with the length of exposure to the plant and sheep that died had the largest accumulations. These crystalline structures have been reported before in this syndrome, but are similar to those seen in Tribulus terrestris and Panicum spp toxicities.  相似文献   

Desflurane vapor pressure depression     

RJ Brosnan  BH Pypendop 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2005,32(4):1-2

Due to its high vapor pressure and low boiling point, desflurane requires a specially designed, electronically controlled, temperature and pressure compensated vaporizer to regulate agent delivery to the anesthetic circuit. However, if the vapor pressure and boiling point were decreased, desflurane could be used in any conventional variable bypass vaporizer. Raoult's Law states that the vapor pressure of a liquid is proportional to its molar fraction in a solution. Accordingly, propylene glycol was used as a solvent for desflurane, and the physical characteristics of this mixture were evaluated at various molar concentrations and temperatures. Desflurane boiling point increased and vapor pressure decreased as a nonlinear function of dilution, but these changes were less than predicted by Raoult's Law. Using a circle system with a breathing bag attached at the patient end and a mechanical ventilator to simulate respiration, an in‐circuit, nonprecision vaporizer containing 40% desflurane and 60% propylene glycol achieved a 11.5 ± 1.0% (mean ± SD) circuit desflurane concentration with a 5.2 ± 0.4 (0 = off, 10 = maximum) vaporizer setting. This experiment was repeated with a dog attached to the breathing circuit under spontaneous ventilation with a fresh gas flow of 0.5 L min^–1. Anesthesia was maintained for over two hours at a mean vaporizer setting of 6.2 ± 0.4, yielding mean inspired and end‐tidal desflurane concentrations of 8.7 ± 0.5% and 7.9 ± 0.7%, respectively. Within 5 minutes after cessation of anesthesia, the dog was awake, extubated and standing. In clinical practice, propylene glycol may not prove an ideal solvent for desflurane due to its instability in solution and substantial positive deviation from Raoult's Law. However, rather than alter the vaporizer to suit physical properties of anesthetic agents, this study demonstrates that it may also be possible to alter anesthetic agents to suit physical properties of the vaporizer.  相似文献   

Tracing the origins of White Tip disease of Cirsium arvense and its causal agent,Phoma macrostoma     

H C EVANS  M K SEIER  J‐A DERBY  S FALK  K L BAILEY 《Weed Research》2013,53(1):42-52

Cirsium arvense (Asteraceae) is known as creeping thistle in its native range in the UK and Canada thistle in its invasive North American range. Recently, the fungus Phoma macrostoma was registered in Canada as a bioherbicide in turfgrass, where it causes severe chlorosis (White Tip disease) and death of C. arvense and other broadleaved weeds. It was hypothesised that the disease originated in the UK on its thistle host and, therefore, that fungal isolates from both countries should be biologically and genetically similar. Twenty‐six strains in the genus Phoma– isolated during surveys in the UK – were compared morphologically with the type culture of P. macrostoma, tested for bioherbicidal activity using the inoculum mat bioassay and genetically screened with bioherbicide‐specific primers. White tip disease was found to be restricted to the eastern and southern counties of England. Phoma macrostoma was isolated consistently from diseased bleached tissues. Bioherbicidal isolates of P. macrostoma occupy a unique clade, which is phylogenetically distinct but morphologically indistinguishable from the type culture. Most isolates from the UK had the same bioherbicidal activity and similar genetic make‐up as strain SRC 94‐44B, the active ingredient in the registered Canadian product. The origin of all bioherbicidal strains found to date has a clear presence in both Canada and the UK, with strong genetic similarities, supporting the view of a common ancestry. Thus, on the evidence presented, the ‘white tip’ clade of P. macrostoma evolved in southern England. Therefore, the bioherbicide based on strain SRC 94‐44B should also be eligible for registration in the UK, based on the pest risk assessment data already available.  相似文献   

The efficiency of a vacuum device for estimating soil-surface seed abundance on lowland farms     

D M EVANS  J J MCLEOD  L PASCOE  & J MEMMOTT 《Weed Research》2009,49(4):337-340

Accurate sampling methods for estimating soil-surface seed abundance in agro-ecosystems are vital for understanding arable plant population dynamics, as well as quantifying seed availability as a food resource for farmland birds, mammals and arthropods. We tested the sampling efficiency of a portable, petroleum spirit powered leaf blower-vacuum in recovering four different seed size classes on the soil-surface of seven lowland farm habitats. Vacuum sampler efficiency was dependent on seed size, habitat type and exposure of seeds to environmental conditions. Larger seeds were more readily recovered and overall seed recovery was consistently higher on habitats with low vegetation cover, such as newly-sown cereal fields. We discuss the limitations of the device, but commend its use with correction factors to estimate soil-surface seed abundance in agricultural habitats. This study highlights the potential biases when estimating soil-surface seed abundance, the importance of correcting such biases and the need for better sampling techniques for weed science.  相似文献

Residue depletion of albendazole and its metabolites in aquacultured yellow perch (Perca flavescens)     

D. YU  E. R. EVANS  N. HASBROUCK  R. REIMSCHUESSEL  B. SHAIKH 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》2012,35(6):560-562

Yu, D., Evans, E. R., Hasbrouck, N., Reimschuessel, R., Shaikh, B. Residue depletion of albendazole and its metabolites in aquacultured yellow perch (Perca flavescens). J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap.  35 , 560–562. Metabolism and residue depletion studies are conducted to determine the marker residue (MR) of a drug in a target tissue of food animals. The MR is used to monitor potential unauthorized use of drugs. The current work is a continuation of our efforts to study metabolism and depletion profiles of albendazole in multiple finfish species to determine a common MR. The results of this study suggest that albendazole sulfone metabolite could potentially serve as MR for albendazole in yellow perch muscle, similar to channel catfish and hybrid striped bass as reported previously by us.  相似文献   

Induced massive star formation in the trifid nebula?     

J Cernicharo  B Lefloch  P Cox  D Cesarsky  C Esteban  F Yusef-Zadeh  DI Mendez  J Acosta-Pulido  Garcia Lopez RJ  A Heras 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1998,282(5388):462-465

The Trifid nebula is a young (10(5) years) galactic HII region where several protostellar sources have been detected with the infrared space observatory. The sources are massive (17 to 60 solar masses) and are associated with molecular gas condensations at the edges or inside the nebula. They appear to be in an early evolutionary stage and may represent the most recent generation of stars in the Trifid. These sources range from dense, apparently still inactive cores to more evolved sources, undergoing violent mass ejection episodes, including a source that powers an optical jet. These observations suggest that the protostellar sources may have evolved by induced star formation in the Trifid nebula.  相似文献   

Hydrogen radicals, nitrogen radicals, and the production of O3 in the upper troposphere     

PO Wennberg  TF Hanisco  L Jaegle  DJ Jacob  EJ Hintsa  EJ Lanzendorf  JG Anderson  R Gao  ER Keim  SG Donnelly  LAD Negro  DW Fahey  SA McKeen  RJ Salawitch  CR Webster  RD May  RL Herman  MH Proffitt  JJ Margitan  EL Atlas  SM Schauffler  F Flocke  CT McElroy  TP Bui 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1998,279(5347):49-53

The concentrations of the hydrogen radicals OH and HO2 in the middle and upper troposphere were measured simultaneously with those of NO, O3, CO, H2O, CH4, non-methane hydrocarbons, and with the ultraviolet and visible radiation field. The data allow a direct examination of the processes that produce O3 in this region of the atmosphere. Comparison of the measured concentrations of OH and HO2 with calculations based on their production from water vapor, ozone, and methane demonstrate that these sources are insufficient to explain the observed radical concentrations in the upper troposphere. The photolysis of carbonyl and peroxide compounds transported to this region from the lower troposphere may provide the source of HOx required to sustain the measured abundances of these radical species. The mechanism by which NO affects the production of O3 is also illustrated by the measurements. In the upper tropospheric air masses sampled, the production rate for ozone (determined from the measured concentrations of HO2 and NO) is calculated to be about 1 part per billion by volume each day. This production rate is faster than previously thought and implies that anthropogenic activities that add NO to the upper troposphere, such as biomass burning and aviation, will lead to production of more O3 than expected.  相似文献
