Infarction of the pons and medulla oblongata caused by arteriolar thrombosis in a horse     

W I Anderson  A De Lahunta  K R Vesely  G W Tucker 《The Cornell veterinarian》1990,80(3):285-289

Infarction of the pons and rostral medulla secondary to arteriolar thrombosis was documented histologically in a 17-year-old mixed-Arabian female horse. Clinically, the animal experienced a sudden onset of a head tilt and subsequent non-controllable seizures. There was no historical, clinical or histological evidence to suggest the presence of infection of Equine Herpesvirus-1 or the feeding of corn contaminated by Fusarium moniliforme.  相似文献   

Chlamydiosis in workers at a duck farm and processing plant   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

DG HINTON  A. SHIPLEY†  JW GALVIN‡  JT HARKIN‡  RA BRUNTON† 《Australian veterinary journal》1993,70(5):174-176

SUMMARY An outbreak of chlamydiosis was Investigated in workers at a duck farm and processing plant during winter 1989. Chlamydia psittaci was isolated from ducks, but there was little evidence of clinical chlamydiosis in the ducks. Serological tests showed that 76% of workers had been exposed to Infection, 12% recently, 16% had not been exposed and 8% had inconclusive test results. There was a strong association (P < 0.05) between years of employment and exposure to Infection. Infection appeared to be contracted during the first year of employment. Measures were Implemented to reduce shed contamination and control rodents and wild birds. At the same time, ducks were medicated, the processing plant was modified, work practices were altered and workers were advised about chlamydiosis to reduce the risk of human infection.  相似文献   

Use of chick embryos for prediction of embryotoxic effects of mycotoxins in mammals]     

D Vesely  D Veselá 《Veterinární medicína》1991,36(3):175-181

Embryotoxic effects of 25 mycotoxins were investigated in two-, three- and four-day chick embryos; the results were evaluated on the eighth day of development. The embryotoxicity ranged from 0.0001 to 0.1 microgram per embryo in T-2 toxin, aflatoxin B1, G1, B2 and M1, cytochalasin E, ochratoxin A and PR-toxin; from 0.1 to 1.0 microgram per embryo in sterigmatocystin, aflatoxin G2, vomitoxin (4deoxynivalenol), patulin, rubratoxin B, secalonic acid D, mycophenolic acid, and from 1.0 to 100 micrograms per embryo in penicillic acid, cyclopiazonic acid, tenuazonic acid, citrinine, brevianamide A, zearalenone, fusaric acid, griseofulvin, kojic acid and 8-methoxypsolaren. Acute cardiotoxic effects were observed in PR-toxin, patulin, rubratoxin B, penicillic acid, citrinine and zearalenone. Teratogenic effects with a spectrum of different embryonal malformations occurred in T-2 toxin, ochratoxin A, PR-toxin, patulin, secalonic acid D, mycophenolic acid and citrinine. The embryotoxic effects demonstrated in chick embryos correlated with the well-know literary data on mammals. Considering the different chemical composition and biological effects of mycotoxins, we suppose that the embryotoxicity test of chick embryos will also be suitable for testing other biologically active substances in the environment.  相似文献   

Isolation of ochratoxin A in fodder barley]     

D Veselá  D Vesely  S Jelínek  V Kusák 《Veterinární medicína》1978,23(7):431-436

The authors describe the finding and identification of ochratoxin A in fodder barley of Czechoslovak produce. The fungus Penicillium verrucosum var. verrucosum, which is an ample producer of ochratoxin A, was isolated from a sample of barley. The isolated fungus was cultivated on several substrates at different temperatures and the production of ochratoxin A was studied during cultivation. The authors believe that the ochratoxicoses of farm animals may also occur in Czechoslovakia and that it would be useful to study this mycotoxin in selected feeds.  相似文献   

Involvement of ATP‐sensitive K+ channels in the peripheral antinociceptive effect induced by ketamine     

Thiago RL Romero  Igor DG Duarte 《Veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia》2013,40(4):419-424

ObjectiveTo investigate the contribution of K⁺ channels on peripheral antinociception induced by ketamine.Study designProspective experimental study.Animals110 male Wistar rats weighing 160–200 g.MethodsThe paw pressure required to elicit limb flexion was designated as the nociceptive threshold. Hyperalgesia was induced by intraplantar injection of prostaglandin E₂. All drugs were administered locally into the right hind paw of rats. Ketamine was administered into the right hind paw 2 hours and 55 minutes after local injection of PGE₂. Tetraethylammonium was administered 30 minutes prior to ketamine and the other K⁺ channel blockers, glibenclamide, dequalinium and paxilline, were administered 5 minutes prior to ketamine.ResultsProstaglandin E₂ (2 μg per paw) induced hyperalgesia. Ketamine (10, 20, 40 and 80 μg per paw) elicited a local peripheral antinociceptive effect that was antagonized by a specific blocker of ATP‐sensitive K⁺ channels, glibenclamide (20, 40 and 80 μg per paw). In another experiment, the non‐selective voltage‐dependent K⁺ channel blocker tetraethylammonium (30 μg per paw) and small and large conductance blockers of Ca²⁺‐activated K⁺ channels, dequalinium (50 μg per paw) and paxilline (20 μg per paw), were ineffective at blocking the effect of a local ketamine injection.Conclusions and clinical relevanceAnalysis of these results provides evidence that ketamine, may in part, induce peripheral antinociceptive effects by ATP‐sensitive K⁺ channel pathway activation.  相似文献   

Coherent optical control of the quantum state of a single quantum Dot     

NH Bonadeo  J Erland  D Gammon  D Park  DS Katzer  DG Steel 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1998,282(5393):1473-1476

Picosecond optical excitation was used to coherently control the excitation in a single quantum dot on a time scale that is short compared with the time scale for loss of quantum coherence. The excitonic wave function was manipulated by controlling the optical phase of the two-pulse sequence through timing and polarization. Wave function engineering techniques, developed in atomic and molecular systems, were used to monitor and control a nonstationary quantum mechanical state composed of a superposition of eigenstates. The results extend the concept of coherent control in semiconductors to the limit of a single quantum system in a zero-dimensional quantum dot.  相似文献   

Production of cyclopiazonic acid, its effect on the chick embryo and on 1-day-old cockerels     

D Vesely  D Veselá  V Neumannová 《Veterinární medicína》1985,30(6):345-352

In 1979 to 1983, 148 strains of Penicillium cyclopium were isolated from wheat and from poultry feed mixtures; 11.5% of these strains produced cyclopiazonic acid at the rate of up to 500 mg per kg of wheat. Forty-seven percent of the 96 isolates of Aspergillus flavus and 56% of the nine isolates of Penicillium griseofulvum produced cyclopiazonic acid at the maximum rate of 80 and 10 mg per kg. The ED50 of cyclopiazonic acid for two, three and four days old chicken embryo was found to be 2.40, 4.70 and 2.70 micrograms, respectively. Teratogenic effects were observed only in the two days old embryos in which the caudal end of trunk was shortened at the frequency of 0.36 and microophthalmia occurred at the frequency of 0.33. The LD50 of cyclopiazonic acid in day-old cockerels was found to be 21.71 mg per kg of weight.  相似文献
