Chlamydiae and atherosclerosis: can psittacine cases support the link?     

Schenker OA  Hoop RK 《Avian diseases》2007,51(1):8-13

Atherosclerosis is a common disease in pet birds, particularly in psittacines. Little is known about the role of risk factors predisposing birds to this disease. In our study, we tried to detect chlamydiae in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded atherosclerotic tissue from 103 pet birds to clarify their role in atherosclerosis. Methods used were polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and immunohistochemistry. Histopathologic examination served to classify the extent of atherosclerotic lesions. In the PCR, 4 (3.9%) of 103 cases, all of them with advanced stages of atherosclerosis, were positive. Subsequent sequence analysis revealed high identities (94%-100%) with Chlamydophila psittaci in three cases. Interestingly, two of these birds came from C. psittaci-infected populations. Because of the low incidence (3.9%), the occurrence only in advanced stages, and the association with C psittaci-infected avian populations, a causal relationship between chlamydiae and atherosclerosis in pet birds is rather improbable.  相似文献   

Dysgenesis of the tubal system in an infertile mare karyotype 63,X:64,XY:65,XXY     

C.R.E. Halnan MA  Vet MB  PhD  FRCVS  C.F.P. Irwin BVSc  MACVSc 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1985,5(6):328-329

A Thoroughbred mare, barren during three years at stud, unresponsive to therapy, and not palpably abnormal anatomically was found to have hypoplasia of the uterine tubes after excision at laparotomy. The cause was an unbalanced genotype. The mosaic karyotype, determined on a blood sample, was indispensible in diagnosis and the case extends the potential for cytogenetic prognostic procedures.  相似文献   

OSTEOCHONDROSIS IN THE LATERAL FEMORAL CONDYLES OF A HORSE     

JONATHAN L. STOWATER  DVM  MS  CARL A. KIRKER-HEAD  MA  VET MB  MRCVS  RICHARD M. JAKOWSKI  DVM  PHD 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》1986,27(4):115-117

Osteochondrosis of the lateral femoral condyles was diagnosed radiographically in an 8-month-old, female Arabian horse, which had been presented with a hindlimb lameness. The diagnosis was confirmed by gross and microscopic pathology. The location of the lesions was considered unusual for osteochondrosis in the horse.  相似文献

Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Proteins: Novel Substances for Enhancing Bone Healing   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are differentiative factors whose principal function is to induce transformation of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells into chondroblasts and osteoblasts in a dose-dependent manner. Bone morphogenetic proteins have been isolated postnatally in mammals from bone matrix, periosteal cells, mesenchymal cells of marrow stroma, tooth anlagen, and cells of osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma. Distribution in additional embryonic tissues implies a broader organogenic function. Bone morphogenetic proteins are the only differentiative factors able to singularly induce de novo bone formation in vitro and in vivo. Recombinant DNA technology allows their production in large and highly purified quantities. The BMPs' osteoinductive ability has been shown with a variety of carriers including collagens and polymers at heterotopic and orthotopic sites in a wide range of species. They are presently being readied for clinical use as alternatives to bone grafts. Other potential applications include use as pulp capping agents, promoters of implant osteointegration and soft tissue reunion with bone, treatments for nonadaptive bone disease, and implants for use with mitotically expanded skeletal stem cell populations. Errors in the genetic coding of BMPs may manifest as clinical disease entities.  相似文献   

Follow-up of mercury levels in fish,human hair and urine in the Madeira and Tapajós basins,Amazon, Brazil     

Malm  O  Guimarães  JRD  Castro  MB  Bastos  WR  Viana  JP  Branches  FJP  Silveira  EG  Pfeiffer  WC 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1997,97(1-2):45-51

Informal economy of gold mining has contaminated some important river basins in Amazon. Follow-up studies on critical compartments showed some areas with high Hg levels in fish as well as in human hair samples. Average Hg in piscivorous fish in the Madeira river itself was 846 ppb (N=284) with a maximum of 3921 ppb. Mercury in fish from non polluted areas in this basin shows high variability, even for single species. A seasonal variation in Hg content was observed, with higher values at the end of the dry season. In the upper Tapajós basin comparable values were found for fish but with a definite decreasing trend downstream. Average value for piscivorous fish in the whole Tapajós basin is 482 ppb (N=122) with a maximum value of 3770 ppb. Hair Hg was higher in fishing villages in the Tapajós (average: 17 ppm; with N=432 and maximum value of 176 ppm) than in the Madeira (average: 9 ppm; N=169; maximum 71 ppm), and data from some areas of the Tapajós suggest a decrease with time. Mercury was much higher in urine of goldshop workers in Santarém (low Tapajós) than in Alta Floresta (high Tapajbs) and show a decreasing trend in both cases, probably related to the significant decline in gold mining activities during the study period (1986–1994).  相似文献   

Clinical cytogenetics in equine stud practice: Consideration of the present situation and future application     

C.R.E. Halnan MA Vet. MB  PhD  FRCVS 《Journal of Equine Veterinary Science》1984,4(6):274-277

The situation in Thoroughbred breeding in relation to cytogenetics is considered and it is indicated where screening of horses will be useful in practice. The techniques involved are explained and karyotypes are illustrated. The present state of knowledge in horse cytogenetics is reviewed. The types of abnormality are described in relation to phenotype. Future promise is discussed in relation to the human field, concluding that with the refined methods now available a wider rangeof meaningful aberrations will be uncovered.  相似文献   

Palmar Digital Neurectomy in Horses 57 Cases (1984–1990)     

BRADLEY R. JACKMAN DVM  MS    GARY M. BAXTER VMD  MS  DIPIOMATE ACVS    RICHARD E. DORAN DVM  MS  Dipiomate ACVS    DOUGLAS ALLEN DVM  MS  Dipiomate ACVS  ANDREW H. PARKS MA  VET MB  Dipiomate ACVS 《Veterinary surgery : VS》1993,22(4):285-288

The medical records of 57 horses that had palmar digital neurectomy performed between 1984 and 1990 were reviewed. Neurectomies were performed either by transection and elec-trocoagulation (47 horses) or by the guillotine technique (10 horses). Middle-aged geldings, Quarter Horses, and Thoroughbreds were significantly over-represented when compared with the hospital population. Horses used as hunter/jumpers also appeared to be over-represented. Complications occurred in 17 (34%) of the 50 horses for which follow-up information was obtained. Recurrence of heel pain was the most common complication (14 horses). Palpable painful neuromas were detected in three horses. One year after neurectomy, 74% of the horses were sound; this decreased to 63% after 2 years.  相似文献
