The purpose of this study was to determine whether there were differences in skeletal muscle properties in the hindlimb muscles of different types of dogs. Muscle samples were obtained from the gracilis, sartorius cranial head, sartorius caudal head and tibialis anterior muscles of mixed-breed and hound-type dogs and Beagles. Fiber type, fiber size and capillary morphometry determinations of each muscle from each dog were made from sections stained for myofibrillar ATPase activity. Individual animals were bilaterally symmetric for all measured variables. Fiber type, fiber size and capillary geometry varied between dogs of a given type and muscles within a given dog. There were no differences between dog types for fiber type or fiber size; significant variation in log(muscle)/log(body) mass ratios between dog types was observed for all muscles. The results indicate that for a given muscle, significant variation can occur in skeletal muscle characteristics between different types of dogs and that these differences can be independent of differences in exercise history.  相似文献

Management of cervical spondylopathy-associated intervertebral, disc protrusions using metal washers in 78 dogs     

McKee WM  Butterworth SJ  Scott HW 《The Journal of small animal practice》1999,40(10):465-472

Intervertebral 7.5 mm (n = 75) and 6.0 mm (n = 22) metal washers were used to distract intervertebral spaces in 78 consecutive cases of canine cervical spondylopathy-associated disc protrusions, where myelography had demonstrated traction-responsive spinal cord compression. Nineteen dogs had compressive lesions at two sites. Fifty lesions were evaluated myelographically on immediate postoperative radiographs; of these, 32 compressions had been eliminated and 18 had been reduced. Euthanasia was performed in nine dogs within six months of surgery and 15 dogs had varying degrees of neck pain during this period. Long-term follow-up information was available on 65 dogs nine to 70 months following surgery (median 32 months). Sixty-three of these dogs improved postoperatively. Neurological function subsequently deteriorated in 17 dogs 10 to 59 months following surgery (median 34 months). Eight of these 17 cases had further myelographic investigations and all had additional disc protrusions with no evidence of cord compression at the previous sites of surgery. The remaining nine cases had a deterioration in hindlimb function but were not investigated further.  相似文献   

Virus infection in South American potatoes     

R. K. McKee 《Potato Research》1964,7(3):145-151

Summary Methods used to test for virus infection in potato samples from South America are described and the incidence of infection in the samples is recorded. Samples were classified according to provenance, ploidy, altitude of collection, and as weed or cultivated forms to investigate the influence of these factors. The advantages of maintenance of potato collections as seed lines are discussed with special reference to prevention of spread of introduced viruses.

Zusammenfassung Die bei der Untersuchung auf Virusbefall bei Kartoffelmustern aus Südamerika angewendeten Methoden werden beschrieben. Es wird über den Umfang der Infektion durch die Kartoffelviren X(PVX), S(PVS) und Y(PVY) und den nekrotischen Tabakrippenbr?une-Stamm von Virus Y(TVN) in 784 Mustern berichtet, ebenso über das Auftreten von Blattroll in 241 Mustern (Tabelle 1). Um den Einfluss verschiedener Faktoren zu untersuchen, wurden die Muster eingeteilt nach Herkunft (Tabelle 1), Ploidiestufe (Tabelle 2), H?henlage der Herkunftsorte (Tabelle 3) oder nach dem Gesichtspunkt, ob es sich um wilde beziehungsweise unkrautartige oder kultivierte Formen handelte (Tabelle 4). Die Vorteile der Aufrechterhaltung von Kartoffelsammlungen als Samen-Familien werden besprochen, besonders in bezug auf die Verhütung der Ausbreitung von eingeschleppten Viren.

Résumé L’auteur décrit les méthodes utilisées pour détecter les infections virologiques dans les échantillons de pommes de terre en provenance de l’Amérique du Sud et rapporte l’importance de l’infection par les virus X (PVX), S (PVS), Y (PVY) et par la souche du virus Y causant la nécrose nervienne du tabac (TVN), dans 784 échantillons, et en même temps l’importance de l’infection par le virus de l’enroulement dans 241 échantillons (Tableau 1). Pour déterminer l’influence de ces facteurs, les échantillons ont été classés suivant la provenance (Tableau 1), l’état plo?dique (Tableau 2), l’altitude du prélèvement (Tableau 3), et le fait qu’il s’agit de formes cultivées ou sauvages et adventices (Tableau 4). L’auteur discute de l’opportunité de conserver les collections de pommes de terre sous forme de lignées en semences dans le but particulier d’empêcher l’extension des virus introduits.

A preliminary evaluation of throughfall sampling techniques in a mature coniferous forest     

Darryl. E. Carlyle-Moses  Chad. E. Lishman  Adam. J. McKee 《林业研究》2014,25(2):407-413

Rainfall, throughfall and stemflow were measured and canopy interception loss was derived for 14 rainfall events from June 22 to August 30, 2008 within a mature declining hybrid white spruce(Picea glauca(Moench) Voss × P. engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.)- subalpine fir(Abies lasiocarpa(Hook.) Nutt.)- lodgepole pine(Pinus contorta var.latifolia Dougl. ex Loud.) stand in south-central British Columbia, Canada. Stemflow was negligible during the study period, while, respectively throughfall and canopy interception loss accounted for approximately59.4% and 40.6% of the 50.1 mm of cumulative rainfall. Throughfall variability was assessed with three approaches involving roving and stationary wedge-type gauges, and stationary trough gauges. Throughfall exhibited large spatial variability with the coefficient of variability of study period throughfall sampled using 16 stationary trough gauges being30.3%, while it was 38.0% and 28.7% for 32 stationary and 32 roving wedge gauges, respectively. Our analysis suggests that a roving gauge method is better than a stationary approach since the errors associated with event mean throughfalls are summed quadratically and a greater portion of the canopy area is sampled. Trough gauges were more efficient than wedge gauges; however, this efficiency was less than expected given their much larger sampling areas, suggesting that spatial autocor-relation lengths of throughfall may be longer than the trough systems. The spatial distribution of throughfall showed a high degree of temporal persistence throughout the study suggesting the existence of stable "wet" and "dry" inputs to the floors of these coniferous forests.  相似文献

Ossification of the infraspinatus tendon-bursa in 13 dogs     

McKee WM  Macias C  May C  Scurrell EJ 《The Veterinary record》2007,161(25):846-852

Ossification of the infraspinatus tendon-bursa was diagnosed in 13 labrador retrievers, 12 of which were lame in one thoracic limb and the other in both. They ranged in age from 28 to 121 months (mean 69.4 months). The lameness developed gradually and was progressive in 11 of the 14 affected joints. Scapular muscle atrophy and signs of pain on direct pressure over the infraspinatus tendon of insertion were key clinical signs. Caudocranial radiographs revealed multiple mineralised masses lateral to the proximal humerus or glenohumeral joint in 11 of the 26 joints and single masses in 12. An arthroscopic examination revealed concomitant ligament or tendon abnormalities in six of seven shoulders. The dogs were followed up from one to 55 months (mean 20 months). Of five shoulders treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), one resolved, two improved and two were managed surgically. Of six shoulders treated by the injection of long-acting intra-articular corticosteroid (five before and one after surgery), three resolved, two improved and one was unchanged. Of six shoulders treated by the surgical resection of the infraspinatus tendon and bursa (three before and two after treatment with nsaids, and one after treatment with a long-acting intra-articular corticosteroid), four improved, one was unchanged and one was managed with an intra-articular long-acting corticosteroid. One shoulder was managed by restricted exercise and the lameness resolved. Histological examination of the excised tissues revealed heterotopic bone within the infraspinatus tendon and/or bursa.  相似文献
