A model for the induction of pneumonia caused by Pasteurella multocida type-A was developed. Anesthetized pigs were dosed intratracheally with 10(10) colony forming units of P. multocida type-A suspended in a total dose of saline based on the pig's body weight (8 mL/kg). A severe bronchopneumonia was present when the treated pigs were euthanized seven days postinfection. The mean percentage of pneumonic lesions in the treated pigs, as determined by morphometric measurement, was 14.03 +/- 7.01 (X +/- SD). In contrast, in the control pigs, the mean percentage of pneumonic lesions was 0.59 +/- 0.52. For the treated pigs during the period following induction of pneumonia, weight gain and feed intake were reduced significantly (p less than 0.05) compared to the controls. It was shown that severe pneumonia could be induced without the use of other infectious agents, which could potentially confound the experimental model.  相似文献   

Stereodependent bioactivation of R(+)-ethyl S-propyl methylphosphonothioate: Is the S-oxide the active metabolite?

R(+)-Ethyl S-propyl methylphosphonothioate is bioactivated both in vivo and when perfused through isolated liver to give a product which is much more active as an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase than the parent compound. The bioactivation does not occur in hepatectomised animals. Acetylcholinesterase inhibited by the active metabolite is not reactivated by pyridine-2-aldoxime methanesulphonate (P2S), whereas enzyme inhibited by the parent compound and its S(?) enantiomer is reactivatable. Attempts to identify the active metabolite were unsuccessful and experiments to explore its stability were inconclusive. Extensive in vitro studies of the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase by the enantiomers of ethyl S-propyl methylphosphonothioate and ethyl S-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothioates and subsequent reactivation of the enzyme by P2S showed that (a) there are large differences between the rates of inhibition of the R and S enantiomers of both compounds, (b) reactivation profiles are critically dependent on reaction conditions, and (c) the reactivation profiles of the R and S enantiomers of the former compound are indistinguishable under all conditions whereas differences are observed under some conditions for the latter pair of enantiomers. The results are discussed in terms of the possibility that the S-oxide of R(+)-ethyl S-propyl methylphosphonothioate is the active metabolite and it is concluded that this is unlikely.  相似文献   

Urinary excretion by dogs of intravenously administered simple sugars     

E. J. Hall  R. M. Batt 《Research in veterinary science》1996,60(3):280-282

Seven simple sugars, commonly used in intestinal function tests, were simultaneously administered intravenously to dogs and their urinary excretion was measured to assess their potential for metabolic degradation. Lactose, lactulose and 3-O-methyl-D-glucose were excreted unchanged, but small proportions of palatinose and sucrose were not, and were assumed to have been metabolised. More than half of the administered D-xylose and a quarter of L-rhamnose was not excreted and was assumed to have been metabolised. These findings may be significant for the interpretation of differential sugar absorption tests and the D-xylose tolerance test.  相似文献   

Characteristics of canine melanomas and comparison of histology and DNA ploidy to their biologic behavior   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

B Bolon  M B Calderwood Mays  B J Hall 《Veterinary pathology》1990,27(2):96-102

The biologic behavior of 179 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded canine melanomas was correlated with their histologic appearance. In addition, flow cytometric analysis of DNA content was performed on 54 of these tumors. Histologic examination accurately predicted clinical course in 89% of the melanomas with known behavior. Flow cytometry accurately predicted behavior in 93% of tumors with diagnostic histograms and demonstrated malignant features in 100% of metastases from malignant oral tumors; histograms were non-diagnostic for 15% of tumors tested. Histologic examination, flow cytometry, and biologic behavior were in agreement for 93% of the tumors with diagnostic histograms. Interpretive problems were encountered in analyzing heavily pigmented melanomas using this flow cytometry technique.  相似文献

Resistance at the TM-2 locus in the tomato to tomato mosaic virus   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

T. J. Hall 《Euphytica》1980,29(1):189-197

Summary There are three known tomato mosaic virus (TMV) resistance factors, Tm-1, Tm-2 and Tm-2 ², in the tomato. Tm-2 ² is currently the most widely utilised in glasshouse cultivars. Both Tm-2 and Tm-2² can induce systemic necroses in response to virus infection. These are considered to be hypersensitive resistance reactions in view of the low virus concentrations in affected plants and because sub-inoculation usually fails to infect all plants possessing the same resistance gene. The literature relating to TMV resistance at the Tm-2 locus in the tomato is reviewed.Virulent strains may readily establish when Tm-1 or Tm-2 are used, but Tm-2 ² confers more effective resistance. The possible development of aggressive isolates capable of affecting Tm-2 ²/Tm-2² plants is discussed. The establishment of virus types which cause systemic necrosis at normal growing temperatures is considered more likely than widespread infection from fully virulent strain 2² mutants. However, the growing of crops isolated from the TMV reservoirs in the soil considerably reduces the likelihood of even this occurring.  相似文献   

Isolation of a pure thornless loganberry by meristem tip culture     

H. K. Hall  M. H. Quazi  R. M. Skirvin 《Euphytica》1986,35(3):1039-1044

Summary Thornless Loganberry (TL) is a periclinal chimeral blackberry in which a layer of mutant (thornless) epidermis surrounds a core of wild-type (thorny) tiusse. Due to its chimeral arrangement, TL produces thorny adventitious root cuttings and thorny offspring. To separate the chimera into its components parts, meristems of TL were grow in vitro on modified Murashige and Skoog medium to yield callus and adventitious shoots. One of these shoots has survived, flowered, and produced thornless offspring from seed. The importance of this non-chimeral TL is discussed.List of terms BA 6-benzylaminopurine - GA₃ gibberellic acid - NAA naphthalene acetic acid - hybridberry polyploid bramble interspecific hybrids - MS Murashige & Skoog (1962) high mineral salt medium - TL Thornless Loganberry - TL_tc tissue culture-derived (non-chimeral) Thornless Loganberry  相似文献   

Associations between grain yield and carbon isotope discrimination in cowpea     

E. C. K. Ngugi  R. B. Austin  N. W. Galwey  M. A. Hall 《European Journal of Agronomy》1996,5(1-2)

Twenty cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) genotypes, comprising Kenyan cultivars and Kenyan and introduced breedings lines, were grown in 15 replicated field trials carried out at three locations in semi-arid eastern Kenya over four seasons. Grain and straw yields and the carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) of this material were determined, and days to flowering and maturity observed.None of the seasons in which the trials were conducted was appreciably drier than the long term average for the sites, and some trials received excessive rain. Averaging the data for the 15 trials, one genotype yielded much less grain (77 g m⁻²) than the 19 others, whose yield ranged from 125 to 177 g m⁻² (average 148 g m⁻²). Trial mean yield trials had a high straw Δ (r = +0.567) and had received more rain between flowering and maturity (r = +0.428) than lower yielding ones. Among genotypes, averaging over trials, the correlation coefficient (r) between grain yield and grain Δ was +0.394, and between grain yield and straw Δ, +0.460. Early genotypes had the highest grain Δ and straw Δ. The correlation among genotypes between date of flowering and grain Δ was −0.632 and with straw Δ, −0.502. When comparisons were made among trials, there was no clear relationship between the strength of the correlations among genotypes between grain yield and straw Δ or grain Δ and the degree of stress experienced by a trial (as indicated by the rainfall it had received). It appeared that this was because the variances of grain Δ and straw Δ were greater in the most droughted trials, whereas the variance of yield was greatest in the least droughted trials.It is concluded that the genetic correlation between grain yield and either grain Δ or straw Δ is unlikely to be strong enough to make either Δ a useful surrogate or adjunct in selecting for high yield in the segregating generations of a breeding programme for semi-arid eastern Kenya, but that Δ may be of value in the selection of parent genotypes.  相似文献
