Total intravenous feeding of calves.     

G F Hoffsis  D A Gingerich  D M Sherman  R R Bruner 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1977,171(1):67-70

Total intravenous feeding was accomplished for 5 clinically normal calves and for 1 calf with atresia coli. During the trials, which lasted 8 to 14 days (mean of 12 days), calves were not permitted to ingest any food or water. Body weight and state of hydration remained essentially constant. Plasma protein content decreased, but there were only minor changes in other physiologic measures. Calves were clinically normal at the conclusion of the trials.  相似文献   

Enzymuria as an index of renal damage in sheep with induced aminoglycoside nephrotoxicosis     

F Garry  D J Chew  G F Hoffsis 《American journal of veterinary research》1990,51(3):428-432

Acute nephrotoxicosis was induced in ewes by daily SC administration of gentamicin. Activity of 3 urine enzymes, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (AGS), and beta-glucuronidase (GRS), were measured during the development of aminoglycoside nephrotoxicosis. Measurements from timed, volume-measured urine samples were performed on days 0, 7, and 8. Measurements from urine samples obtained without volume measurement (spot samples) were performed daily. Urine GGT and AGS activities were high 3 days prior to detection of high serum creatinine concentration and 1.5 days before the appearance of casts in the urine sediment; values consistently remained in the abnormal range until termination of the study. High urine GRS activity was inconsistent and transient; serum GGT activity did not change during the course of the study. Urine GGT and AGS activities expressed as total excretion per unit time and body weight, enzyme activity per unit volume, and as ratio of urine enzyme activity to urine creatinine concentration were strongly correlated. Urine GGT and AGS, but not GRS activities, are suitable indicators of renal tubular cell damage in sheep with aminoglycoside nephrotoxicosis. Urine GGT and AGS activities indicate cellular changes occurring several days prior to the first indications of renal functional change.  相似文献   

Effect of Leptin on In Vivo Goat Embryo Production

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of leptin administration during superovulation on in vivo goat embryo production. Ten mature does were superovulated with 133 mg follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) i.m. in six descending doses at 12‐h intervals. The goats received 4.8 μg/kg human recombinant leptin s.c. (leptin group, n = 5) or phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) (control group, n = 5) with the first and second FSH doses. The does were mated and subjected to embryo collection by transcervical technique 6 days later. The total number of cells per embryo and the number of cells with fragmented DNA were assessed in selected blastocysts by combining Hoechst 33342 and terminal dUTP nick‐end labelling (TUNEL) staining. Plasma concentrations of oestradiol (E₂) and progesterone (P₄) were determined by electrochemiluminescence from the day of FSH treatment, on the day of superovulatory oestrus and on the day before embryo collection. Compared with the control group, the does that received leptin had a higher number of transferable embryos (p < 0.005), fewer embryos classified as degenerated (p < 0.001) and fewer TUNEL‐positive cells/blastocyst (p < 0.001). The number of transferable embryos was positively correlated with E₂ concentrations on day of oestrus (r = 0.562; p < 0.01) and P₄ concentrations on the day of embryo collection (r = 0.912; p < 0.001). We concluded that in vivo leptin administration during FSH treatment improved embryo quality and affected ovarian steroidogenesis in superovulated goats.  相似文献   

Caudal epidural analgesia induced by xylazine administration in cows   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6

Xylazine (0.05 mg/kg of body weight diluted to a 5-ml volume, using 0.9% NaCl) or 5 ml of 0.9% NaCl was administered epidurally into the first caudal intervertebral space (Co1-Co2) in 8 cows (mean +/- SD body weight, 583 +/- 150 kg). Cows were observed for responses to deep needle pricking of the caudal dermatomes (S3 to Co), sedation, and ataxia. Heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, rate of ruminal contractions, coccygeal arterial blood pressure, pHa, blood gas tension (PaO2, PaCO2), base excess, total solids concentration, and PCV were determined before and after xylazine administration. Epidurally administered xylazine induced sedation and selective (S3 to Co) analgesia for at least 2 hours. Mild ataxia of hind limbs was observed in 6 cows, but all cows remained standing. Heart rate, respiratory rate, rate of ruminal contractions, arterial blood pressure, PaO2, PCV, and total solids concentration were significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased, and PaCO2, base excess, and bicarbonate concentration were significantly (P less than 0.05) increased after xylazine administration. Epidurally administered 0.9% NaCl did not alter sensory perception to needle pricking and did not affect any of the physiologic variables determined. Although epidural administration of xylazine induced analgesia and sedation in healthy cows, it should be avoided for epidural analgesia in cattle with heart disease, lung disease, and/or gastrointestinal disease because of its potent cardiopulmonary and ruminal depressant effects.  相似文献   

Hemodynamic response of endotoxemic calves to treatment with small-volume hypertonic saline solution   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

P D Constable  L M Schmall  W W Muir  G F Hoffsis  E R Shertel 《American journal of veterinary research》1991,52(7):981-989

The hemodynamic effects of hypertonic saline solution (HSS) resuscitation on endotoxic shock were examined in pentobarbital-anesthetized calves (8 to 20 days old). Escherichia coli (055:B5) endotoxin was infused IV at dosage of 0.1 microgram/kg of body weight for 30 minutes. Endotoxin induced large decreases in cardiac index, stroke volume, maximal rate of change of left ventricular pressure (+dP/dtmax), femoral and mesenteric arterial blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, urine production, and mean aortic pressure. Severe pulmonary arterial hypertension and increased pulmonary vascular resistance were evident at the end of endotoxin infusion. Treatment with HSS (2,400 mosm of NaCl/L, 4 ml/kg) or an equivalent sodium load of isotonic saline solution (ISS: 300 mosm of NaCl/L, 32 ml/kg) was administered 90 minutes after the end of endotoxin administration. Both solutions were infused IV over a 4- to 6-minute period. Administration of HSS induced immediate and significant (P less than 0.05) increase in stroke volume and central venous pressure, as well as significant decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance. These effects were sustained for 60 minutes, after which all variables returned toward preinfusion values. The hemodynamic response to HSS administration was suggestive of rapid plasma volume expansion and redistribution of cardiac output toward splanchnic circulation. Plasma volume expansion by HSS was minimal 60 minutes after resuscitation. Administration of ISS induced significant increase in cardiac index, stroke volume, femoral arterial blood flow, and urine production. These effects were sustained for 120 minutes, at which time, calves were euthanatized. Compared with HSS, ISS induced sustained increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure and only a small increase in mesenteric arterial blood flow.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献   

Urinary indices of renal function in sheep with induced aminoglycoside nephrotoxicosis   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

F Garry  D J Chew  G F Hoffsis 《American journal of veterinary research》1990,51(3):420-427

Aminoglycoside nephrotoxicosis (AGNT) was induced in ewes by daily SC administration of gentamicin. Changes in urinary indices of renal function during the development of AGNT are reported. Measurements from timed, volume-measured urine samples were made on days 0, 7, and 8 and included creatinine clearance, total excretion (TE) rates of electrolytes (Na, K, Cl, P) and urine volume. Measurements from free-catch urine samples (without volume measurement) were made daily and included fractional excretion (FE) rate of electrolytes, urine osmolality, and urine-to-serum osmolality and urine-to-serum creatinine ratios. With the onset of AGNT, FE rates of Na, K, Cl, and P- increased many fold above baseline values (200x, 4 to 5x, 6 to 9x, and 70 to 95x, respectively, on days 7 and 8), indicating decreased tubular reabsorption or increased tubular secretion. The increased FE rates were not representative of increases in total electrolyte excretion rates. The total excretion of Na (TENa) was mildly increased, TEK was decreased, TECl was unchanged, and TEP was significantly increased on days 7 and 8. Abnormal urinalysis results, glucosuria, and increased FEP preceded appreciable increase in serum creatinine concentration. Other abnormal urinary indices of renal function coincided with or followed the increase in serum creatinine concentration. Urinary indices may help characterize renal function associated with the disease state, but did not provide early indication of AGNT.  相似文献

Risk factors for abomasal volvulus and left abomasal displacement in cattle.     

P D Constable  G Y Miller  G F Hoffsis  B L Hull  D M Rings 《American journal of veterinary research》1992,53(7):1184-1192

A hospital-based case-control study was conducted to evaluate and compare risk factors for abomasal volvulus (AV) and left displaced abomasum (LDA) in cattle. Medical record abstracts were derived from 17 North American veterinary schools by the Veterinary Medical Data Program for all cattle admitted between Jan 1, 1977 and Dec 31, 1986, and for those with a diagnosis of AV or LDA. From a total of 108,956 individual cattle records, 1,036 cases of AV and 7,695 cases of LDA were identified, with a ratio of LDA to AV cases of 7.4 to 1. In-hospital mortality was 23.5% for AV and 5.6% for LDA. Age, breed, gender, and season each had significant (P less than 0.05) effects on risk for AV and LDA. Risk for AV and LDA increased with increasing age, with greater risk in cattle aged 4 to 7 years. Dairy cattle were at higher risk of developing AV (adjusted odds ratio, 36.4) and LDA (adjusted odds ratio, 95.2) than were beef cattle. The odds of AV in Brown Swiss cattle were significantly (P less than 0.0001) lower, and the odds of LDA in Guernsey cattle were significantly (P less than 0.0001) higher than those in Holstein cattle. Female cattle were also at higher risk of developing AV (adjusted odds ratio, 3.3) and LDA (adjusted odds ratio, 29.1) than were male cattle. The odds of AV and LDA varied considerably throughout the year, with the lowest number of cases observed in autumn. Seasonal development of AV differed significantly (P less than 0.0001) from that of LDA, with the odds of AV and LDA being highest in January and March, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献   

Evidence of paratuberculosis in Ohio's white-tailed deer, as determined by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

W P Shulaw  J C Gordon  S Bech-Nielsen  C I Pretzman  G F Hoffsis 《American journal of veterinary research》1986,47(12):2539-2542

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and used to detect antibodies to Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in serum samples obtained in December of 1983 from 954 hunter-killed white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in 13 Ohio counties. Positive or negative status was determined by calculating a signal-to-noise ratio, a ratio between the optical density of the test serum and negative reference sera; a ratio of greater than or equal to 3.0 was considered positive. Twenty-four samples (2.5%) were found to be assay positive, using this method. A statistically significant difference among age groups was found, with those less than or equal to 6 months of age having a lower proportion of positives. Differences by sex were not observed. To determine the validity of the ELISA in deer, serum samples from 46 fallow (Dama dama) and axis deer (Axis axis) harvested from a known infected population were tested by ELISA and agar-gel immunodiffusion. The agar-gel immunodiffusion test showed evidence of exposure of the deer to M paratuberculosis or a related antigen. The ELISA closely approximated the prevalence of paratuberculosis infection as previously determined by fecal culture in this population. As a result of these tests, it was concluded that free-ranging Ohio deer have been infected with M paratuberculosis or exposed to a closely related antigen.  相似文献
