Ultrasonography is a valuable tool for the evaluation of neoplastic lesions in the dog and there is a growing interest in the use of this technique for the stadiation of canine mammary tumours. An accurate assessment of small sized nodules facilitates the stadiation of the mammary lesions and helps the clinician in the choice of the most indicated surgical therapy. The aim of this study was to identify those ultrasound criteria that may be useful in discriminating between benign and malignant lesions of small size (diameter smaller than 2 cm). Sixty-two nodules, < 2 cm in larger diameter, belonging to thirty-five bitches presented between January 2012 and February 2014 were evaluated. Tumours were observed by conventional ultrasound and assessed for: shape (regular-irregular), limit (defined-ill-defined), margins (regular-irregular), echogenicity (hypoechoic-isoechoic-hyperecoic), echotexture (homogeneus-heterogeneus), presence of hyperecoic halo, distal acoustic enhancement or shadowing and surrounding tissue alterations. Among the alterations in surrounding tissues, the disruption of the glandular tissue and the increase in echogenicity of the peritumoral tissues were assessed. Thereafter, bitches were subjected to mastectomy and nodules were evaluated histologically. None of the ultasound criteria considered in the current study showed a statistically significant relation with malignancy, except for the presence of alterations in the tissue surrounding the nodules. According to our results, this characteristic may indicate malignancy, however its subjectivity may affect the applicability in clinical practice. In conclusions, conventional ultrasound in bitches had a limited ability in discriminating benign and malignant mammary gland neoplastic lesions of small size (diameter?<?2 cm). 相似文献

Habitat destruction is one of the main threats to environmental integrity. Assessing the consequences of human impacts is crucial both to predict and prevent structural and functional changes of habitats. However, to date almost all studies on marine threats, from regional to global scales, have been entirely qualitative and generally based on little more than expert opinion. We have developed a meta-analytical approach to quantify overall effects of various stressors on different Mediterranean habitat types and to compare the relative importance of different impacts across a range of habitats. We first qualitatively reviewed and synthesized 366 experiments (either manipulative or correlative) collected in the literature. After a selection procedure, we finally quantitatively meta-analyzed 158 experiments. We showed that fisheries (destructive or not), species invasion, aquaculture, sedimentation increase, water degradation and urbanization have negative effects on Mediterranean habitats and associated species assemblages. We also explored the overlap between the impacts identified as important in the Mediterranean and those identified by experts as being important globally, highlighting the inadequacies of relying on expert opinion alone. Finally, we drew attention to the critical lack of empirical knowledge about marine systems in many areas of the Mediterranean, which impedes the implementation of effective conservation measures. Our study is the first to synthesize experimental analyses on human-driven impacts on marine habitats across such a broad geographic scale. 相似文献

This report describes an unusual case of uterine stump pyometra in a cat whose main clinical sign at presentation was abdominal straining. At the time of ovariohysterectomy, the surgeon reported that the uterine body had a purulent content. Nearly a month after the surgery the cat showed abdominal straining. The enlarged uterine stump, filled with purulent fluid, had caused a compression of the rectum and secondary intestinal sub-occlusion. Surgical revision consisted of draining the purulent content of the remnant of the uterine body and ablating as much of it as possible; checking of the ovarian pedicles revealed the presence of a small fragment of whitish tissue on the right side, which was shown to contain, by means of histological observation and immunohistochemical staining, ovarian tissue. Four months after surgical revision the queen did not show any pathological signs and 1 year later she is still in good health. 相似文献

The methodology for the inclusion of tebuconazole (TBC) in beta-cyclodextrin (betaCD), spectroscopic characterization of the inclusion complex, and its activity for the control of a major soilborne disease of wheat caused by Fusarium culmorum are reported. Controlled release measured by chemical shift of the diagnostic protons H(3) and H(5) of betaCD confirmed stability of the complex at the solid state and in aqueous solution. Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted on durum wheat (Triticum durum cv. Prometeo) sown in substrate or in soil artificially infested with a virulent strain of F. culmorum. The inclusion complex betaCD-TBC, applied as seed dressing in combination or not with carboxymethylcellulose, reduced the disease incidence caused by F. culmorum and improved grain yield, showing effects that were generally comparable to those observed upon application of a commercial formulation of TBC. In the field experiment, only seed treatment with the inclusion complex betaCD-TBC allowed yield that was not different from that obtained from the uninoculated control. These results prove that by the use of the betaCD-TBC complex it is possible to obtain release of TBC and bioavailabilty of the fungicide without compromising its effectiveness. 相似文献

Considering the very high socio economic value of cork oak (Quercus suber L.) in Mediterranean areas, a better knowledge of local genetic resources is necessary in order to reach a good balance between
the conservation issues and the need of an efficient cork production network. In such frame, local germplasm of Q. suber from the main cork production areas of Sardinia was analysed for DNA and isozyme polymorphisms and for cork quality in relation
to some environmental parameters. A total number of 24 sample stands of cork oak were selected, representing typical vegetation,
sylvicultural and cork quality features within the eight identified cork growing areas in Sardinia. Considerable variation
was found between cork oak stands of the different areas. Results of the principal component analysis performed on the cork
quality data and environmental characters of the eight areas, showed that the first three components explain 72.2% of the
variation. The major characters involved in this differentiation were cork quality characters such as dimensional recover,
moisture and Mg content of the cork and also elevation of stands m a.s.l. for the first component. The second component appears
to be determined by some climatic parameters (average annual temperature and average of the minimum temperatures of coldest
month) and by the Fe and Zn in the cork. For the third component, major characters involved in differentiation are average
annual rainfall, bark thickness and Ca content in the cork. 相似文献

The effect of a soil humic fraction (HS) on proton extrusion into deionized water by intact oat seedling roots was studied. In the presence of HS, at concentration of 10 μg organic carbon (C) mL‐1, a clear stimulation of acidification of the outer medium by the roots was observed after three to four hours of incubation. The addition of 0.5 mM vanadate to the solution bathing the roots drastically reduced the net proton extrusion, either in the presence or absence of HS, suggesting the involvement of the plasma membrane H+‐ATPase in the stimulation of the acidification of the outer medium by oat roots. The release of potassium (K) from the roots into deionized water was also monitored concomitantly to the proton extrusion. The loss of endogenous K from the roots was similar in the presence or absence of HS, while the recovery of the cation was slower in the presence of the humic fraction. However, after reabsorption of the released K, no net acidification was observed in control roots, while HS‐treated roots significantly decreased the pH of the deionized water. The addition of 3 mM K to the external medium greatly enhanced the proton release from roots, while the presence of humic substances reduced the magnitude of the stimulation by K. When K was supplied at a concentration closer to that encountered in the soil (<0.1 mM), HS significantly stimulated proton release. The effect of HS on root extracellular acidification supports the idea of a role of soil humic substances on plant nutrition via interaction with cell membrane functions. 相似文献
