Metabolism and excretion of 32P-aminophon in lactating cattle     

W Dedek  R Grahl  H Schwarz 《Archiv fuer experimentelle veterinaermedizin》1978,32(2):239-245

P-labelled aminophon, 0,0-di-u-butyl- (1-n-butylaminocyclohexyl) -phosphonate, an agricultural defoliant and siccant, was applied orally in oily solution to lactating cows, 5-6 mg/kg bodymass, resp. The halflifes of degradation in blood serum in vitro are 95 min, of the extractable metabolites in blood, milk and urine 17-20 h. The 0-and 0, N-dealkylcompound of aminophon were found as the preferred metabolites.  相似文献   

Thoracic high-resolution computed tomographic findings in dogs with canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis     

Johnson VS  Corcoran BM  Wotton PR  Schwarz T  Sullivan M 《The Journal of small animal practice》2005,46(8):381-388

OBJECTIVES: To identify features of canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (CIPF) using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and to correlate these features with clinical stages of the disease. METHODS: Ten dogs with signalment, history and clinical signs highly suggestive of CIPF were investigated. Thoracic radiography, haematology and biochemistry profiles, bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage and HRCT were performed in each case. The dogs were classified as having mild, moderate or severe stages of the disease based on their clinical presentation and radiographic signs. Features identified by HRCT were correlated with these disease stages. RESULTS: HRCT showed a spectrum of pulmonary changes and it was possible to match some of these to the stage of CIPF. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: HRCT is used extensively in humans in the diagnosis and treatment planning of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. This preliminary study identifies the high-resolution computed tomographic features of CIPF in a small group of dogs. With further work it may be possible to use HRCT as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing, staging and therapeutically monitoring CIPF.  相似文献   

Aneurysmal dilatation of the right auricle in two dogs     

Schwarz T  Willis R  Summerfield NJ  Doust R 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》2005,226(9):1512-5, 1500

An 8-year-old sexually intact male Golden Retriever with a history of collapse during exercise underwent an examination during which tachydysrhythmia was identified. At another institution, a 12.5-year-old spayed female Lhasa Apso was referred because of a cough and for evaluation of a heart murmur. In the Golden Retriever, radiographic examination revealed bulging of the craniodorsal aspect of the cardiac silhouette and echocardiography revealed right atrial dilatation. In the Lhasa Apso, a cranial mediastinal mass was suspected on the basis of radiographic findings, but no abnormalities were detected echocardiographically. In both dogs, nonselective angiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a markedly enlarged, thin-walled right auricle. Exploratory thoracotomy in the Golden Retriever revealed a defect in the pericardium through which the right auricle and part of the atrium had herniated. In dogs, a right auricular aneurysm should be considered in differential diagnoses of a cranial mediastinal mass (detected radiographically) adjacent to the cardiac silhouette.  相似文献   

Intraepithelial but not lamina propria lymphocytes in the porcine gut are affected by dexamethasone treatment     

Schwarz E  Saalmüller A  Gerner W  Claus R 《Veterinary immunology and immunopathology》2005,105(1-2):125-139

It is well established that glucocorticoids are key regulators of the immune system and act as immunosuppressive agents in high concentrations. In the pig, effects on the gut immune system and trafficking of lymphocytes between tissues and blood plasma were not investigated so far. Twelve pigs of 70 kg were fed 0.4 mg portions of dexamethasone (Dexa) twice daily for 9 days or remained untreated (controls) and were sacrificed for tissue collection at the end of Dexa treatment. Another six pigs with jugular vein catheters were left untreated for 7 days (control period) and then received Dexa for 9 days. Blood was drawn twice during the control period and at days 3, 6 and 9 of the Dexa period for characterization of peripheral blood leukocytes. Cells were obtained from thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes, jejunal mucosa and Peyer's patches. Lymphoid cells from gut tissue were isolated from two fractions: the EDTA-fraction, containing the intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), and the Collagenase-fraction, containing the lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL). In all samples, cell counts and phenotypic characterization of cells by flow cytometry (FCM) were performed. In thymus, Dexa led to a more than 90% reduction of the absolute cell number, which was mainly found in the CD4+CD8+ subpopulation. Dexa effects on lymphocytes from mesenteric lymph nodes were less severe (50%) and led mainly to a decrease (71%) of B-lymphocytes. The number of lymphocytes in the EDTA-fraction (IEL) of the jejunal mucosa decreased significantly by 56% in the Dexa-treated animals compared to the controls, whereas the number of lymphocytes in the Collagenase-fraction (LPL) decreased only moderately. In the Peyer's patches, a decreasing tendency in the number of lymphocytes in the EDTA-fraction was observed which, however, was not significant. In blood, monocytes and granulocytes were significantly increased in an order of 60%. The data show that supraphysiological amounts of Dexa remarkably reduce cell numbers in thymus and also in the intraepithelial compartment of the jejunal mucosa and ileal Peyer's patches. In blood, a notable homeostasis was observed for several leukocyte populations whereas both monocytes and granulocytes increased.  相似文献   

Atresia ani in the dog: a retrospective study     

Vianna ML  Tobias KM 《Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association》2005,41(5):317-322

Congenital anomalies of the rectum and anus are rare in dogs. The most frequently reported anomaly is atresia ani. Four types of atresia ani have been reported, including congenital anal stenosis (Type I); imperforate anus alone (Type II) or combined with more cranial termination of the rectum as a blind pouch (Type III); and discontinuity of the proximal rectum with normal anal and terminal rectal development (Type IV). An increased incidence was found in females and in several breeds, including miniature or toy poodles and Boston terriers. Surgical repair is the treatment of choice, but postoperative complications can occur, including fecal incontinence and colonic atony secondary to prolonged preoperative distension.  相似文献   

Chloramphenicol resistance plasmids in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis.     

M Cardoso  S Schwarz 《Veterinary microbiology》1992,30(2-3):223-232

Chloramphenicol resistance (CmR) could be detected in 11 of 217 Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine subclinical mastitis. All isolates were assigned to biotypes A or C. The CmR-determinants were found to be located exclusively on small plasmids of approximately 4.6 kb as revealed by protoplast transformation. The 11 CmR-plasmids could be differentiated on the basis of restriction endonuclease analyses. The restriction maps of these CmR-plasmids identified two separate groups. One group demonstrated homology to the plasmid pC 221, the other to the plasmid pC 223. Both prototype plasmids, pC 221 and pC 223, had been isolated from S. aureus of human origin.  相似文献   

Phage types, ribotypes and tetracycline resistance genes of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium strains isolated from different origins in Italy     

Pasquali F  De Cesare A  Ricci A  Kehrenberg C  Schwarz S  Manfreda G 《Veterinary microbiology》2004,103(1-2):71-76

The tetracycline resistance (tet) gene patterns of 52 tetracycline resistant Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica (S.) serovar Typhimurium isolates collected from animals, food of animal origin, and humans in Italy, were investigated to evaluate whether the tet gene patterns could be used for strain differentiation in addition to phage typing and ribotyping. The detection of tet genes was performed by specific PCR assays. Ribotyping was performed automatically using PvuII as restriction enzyme. Ten different ribotyping patterns were detected. All isolates were positive for at least one of the tet genes studied and six different tet gene patterns were observed. Ribotyping and tet gene patterns showed discriminatory indices of 0.741 and 0.812, respectively. Multiple tet genes were commonly found among tetracycline resistant S. typhimurium isolates from various sources. The resulting tet gene patterns allowed further discrimination of strains which were otherwise indistinguishable by their phage type, ribotype and origin. Thus, the analysis of tet gene patterns might represent an additional tool for the differentiation of S. typhimurium isolates.  相似文献
