Jejunal Intussusception: A Complication of Functional End-to-End Stapled Anastomoses in Two Ponies     

REBECCA L. FRANKENY VMD    DAVID A. WILSON DVM  MS  Diplomate ACVS    NAT T. MESSER IV DVM  Diplomate ABVP  CYNTHIA CAMPBELL-BEGGS DVM 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1995,24(6):515-517

Jejunojejunal intussusception occurred after jejunal resection and stapled functional end-to-end anastomosis in two pony mares. In both mares, the lead point of the intussusception was the stapled functional end-to-end (FEE) anastomosis. The stapled free ends of jejunum were oversewn with an inverting suture pattern. A possible explanation for development of the intussusception was the acute angle created in the intestine by the FEE anastomsis. This angulation may have impaired flow of ingesta causing motility changes that predisposed the site to intussusception. Because the oversewn blind intestinal ends acted as the lead point for formation of the intussusception, it may be inadvisable to oversew the stapled anastomotic ends.  相似文献

The effect of vitamin a supplementation on seminal characteristics and vitamin a absorption in stallions     

S.L. Ralston VMD  PhD  G.A. Rich PhD  S. Jackson BS  E.L. Squires PhD 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1986,6(4)

Fourteen mature stallions were paired based on age and pretreatment spermatozoal output. One member of each pair was assigned to either 1) control (3 ml corn oil) or 2) treated (132,000 IU retinyl palmitate in 3 ml corn oil) experimental groups. Treatments were added to oat rations every other day. Seminal characteristics (gel free volume, gel volume, total seminal volume, percent progressively motile spermatozoa, number of spermatozoa per ml, percentage morphologically normal spermatozoa and spermatozoal membrane stability) and total scrotal width of each stallion were recorded before (February) and after three months of vitamin A supplementation (June). Plasma vitamin A was measured at 0,6,12,24, and 48 hours following the first and last treatments to document absorption. There were no treatment effects (p>.05) on seminal characteristics or scrotal width. Seasonal increases were recorded in gel-free volume, total seminal volume, percent spermatozoal motility, total spermatozoal output, percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa, and total scrotal width. Plasma vitamin A was lower during the second collection period (June) than the first (February) in both treatment groups. Peak plasma vitamin A was observed 48 hours following ingestion of the first dose of the vitamin but at 12 hours following the last treatment.  相似文献   

Effect of D-glucose on in vitro short-circuit current in neonatal calf jejunum and rabbit ileum     

P L Ferrante  D E Freeman  R H Whitlock  D S Kronfeld 《American journal of veterinary research》1988,49(5):715-719

Thin sheets of mucosa from small intestine of neonatal calves were mounted in incubation chambers for in vitro studies. These mucosal sheets generated a potential difference (PD) of 2.05 +/- 0.02 mV (mean +/- SEM), short-circuit current (SCC) of 23.32 +/- 3.81 microA x cm2, and tissue resistance of 86.22 +/- 4.41 ohms x cm2 (n = 6). Ouabain in the serosal bathing solution caused a sharp decrease in the SCC (P less than 0.01) and PD (P less than 0.005), a decrease in tissue K content (P less than 0.05), and an increase in tissue Na content (P less than 0.05). The mucosa responded to D-glucose by an increase in PD (P less than 0.001) and SCC (P less than 0.001). In vitro methods used in the calf were validated in similar experiments on rabbit ileum.  相似文献   

RADIOGRAPHIC CHANGES IN TESTES OF BULLS INFECTED WITH BESNOITIOSIS   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Uri  Bargai  VMD AB  DVSc  Theodor  Nobel  DVM†  Shmuel  Pearl  DVM† 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1984,25(5):235-239

Ten beef bulls infected with Besnoitiosis were examined radiographically and pathologically. Eight of these were slaughtered soon after diagnosis; two were left for a six-month observation period. The radiographic findings were focal and branching-tree calcification of the testes. Histopathologic examination proved these calcifications to be necrotic sections of the seminiferous tubules. Radiography of the testes as a means of evaluating the fertility status of the infected bull is recommended.  相似文献   

MULTIPLE CONGENITAL URINARY TRACT ABNORMALITIES IN A BITCH: A CASE HISTORY REPORT     

Uri  Bargai  VMD  D.V.Sc  Hylton  Bark  DVM 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1982,23(1):10-12

A 2 1/2-month-old, female German Shepherd Dog was examined because of incontinence since birth. Multiple urinary anomalies which included left renal agenesis, right hydronephrosis and hydroureter and urinary bladder dysfunction were found by excretory urography. These abnormalities were confirmed at necropsy. In addition, vesicovaginal continuity with apparent absence of the urethra was also found  相似文献

Isolation of Feline Herpesvirus 1 from the Trigeminal Ganglia of Acutely and Chronically Infected Cats     

Mark P. Nasisse DVM    Barbara J. Davis VMD    James S. Guy DVM  PhD    Michael G. Davidson DVM  Wendy Sussman BS 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》1992,6(2):102-103

Feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) is one of the most common viral infections of domestic cats worldwide, estimated to cause 50% of all respiratory infections in this species. Feline herpesvirus 1 is also an important ocular pathogen of cats, causing conjunctivitis, epithelial and stromal keratitis, symblepharon formation, keratocon-junctivitis sicca, and corneal sequestration. Despite the importance of this viral disease, major questions remain unanswered concerning the pathogenesis of its most important manifestation, the recrudescent infection. Although the taxonomic classification of FHV-1 as an alpha herpesvirus implies the ability of FHV-1 to establish neural latency, attempts at recovering the virus from the trigeminal ganglia of latently infected cats have typically yielded negative results. This failure has stimulated speculation that neural tissue is not an important site for latent FHV-1. However, in the most successful of such studies, FHV-1 was isolated from the trigeminal ganglia of 3 of 17 cats using an explant technique. In the present study, we describe the successful isolation of FHV-1 from the trigeminal ganglia of cats using a similar tissue culture method.  相似文献   

ULTRASONIC DETECTION OF SPLENIC NECROSIS IN THE DOG     

Curtis G.  Schelling  MS  VMD  Jeffrey A.  Wortman  VMD  PhD  H. Mark  Saunders  VMD 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1988,29(5):227-233

Ultrasonographic findings of splenic infarction and necrosis in three dogs are presented. Two previously unreported ultrasonographic patterns are identified: (1) Focal, hypoechoic or isoechoic, circular, wellmarginated nodular masses with peripheral lesions causing deformation of the splenic margin. (2) Diffuse hypoechoic or heteroechoic coarse/"lacy" parenchymal pattern with no deformation of margin. The presence of gas within the splenic parenchyma of one dog was detected by both radiography and ultrasonography. Ultrasonographic patterns of splenic infarction in both man and the dog are discussed  相似文献   

Triterpenic compounds from "orujo" olive oil elicit vasorelaxation in aorta from spontaneously hypertensive rats     

Rodriguez-Rodriguez R  Perona JS  Herrera MD  Ruiz-Gutierrez V 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2006,54(6):2096-2102

There is currently a considerable amount of interest in the benefits of certain dietary elements, and in particular of olive oil, in endothelial function and thus in hypertension. "Orujo" or pomace olive oil is obtained from the residues of the olive by a novel centrifugation process, and it is a good dietary source of triterpenic compounds such as oleanolic and maslinic acid, erythrodiol, and uvaol. Until now, there was no information available regarding the properties of these triterpenoids on the vasculature of hypertensive animals. However, in this in vitro study, we have analyzed the vasorelaxation induced by these triterpenoids in isolated aorta from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The triterpenoids tested induced concentration-dependent vasorelaxation, mostly involving nitric oxide (NO). Indeed, the responses were attenuated by removal of the endothelium or following pretreatment with the NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME. Furthermore, the differences that were observed in the potency of relaxation, the selectivity, and the dependence on the endothelium were attributed to structural features of the triterpenoids. In conclusion, triterpenic components in pomace olive oil induce vasorelaxation of the aorta from SHR, and this effect generally involves endothelial NO.  相似文献
