SCINTIGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF THE STIFLE IN NORMAL HORSES AND HORSES WITH FORELIMB LAMENESS     

SUE DYSON  KRISTEN McNIE  JO WEEKES  RACHEL MURRAY 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2007,48(4):378-382

We tested the hypotheses that mature horses without lameness have a repeatable radiopharmaceutical uptake pattern in the stifle, which is bilaterally symmetric; immature horses have a different radiopharmaceutical uptake pattern; and forelimb lameness alters the radiopharmaceutical uptake pattern in the stifle. The objectives of the study were to describe the normal radiopharmaceutical uptake patterns using region of interest (ROI) analysis; to compare uptake patterns between left and right stifles of the same horse and between mature and immature horses; to compare radiopharmaceutical uptake in mature normal horses with those with forelimb lameness. Lateral scintigraphic images of the stifle from 51 horses aged 2-16 years were evaluated using seven ROIs and a reference site (midfemur). After subtraction of a background count, ratios between the mean counts per pixel for each ROI to the reference site were calculated. There was a repeatable radiopharmaceutical uptake pattern in mature normal horses that was bilaterally symmetrical. The caudoproximal aspect of the tibia and the patella had the highest ratios. Radiopharmaceutical uptake patterns in horses with forelimb lameness were not significantly different. Immature normal horses had a different symmetric pattern, with greatest radiopharmaceutical uptake ratios in the caudoproximal aspect of the tibia and the tibial crest. It was concluded that there are symmetric, repeatable radiopharmaceutical uptake patterns in both immature and mature horses, which are not altered by forelimb lameness.  相似文献   

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING CHARACTERISTICS OF PERIPHERAL NERVE SHEATH TUMORS OF THE CANINE BRACHIAL PLEXUS IN 18 DOGS

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations from 18 dogs with a histologically confirmed peripheral nerve sheath tumor (PNST) of the brachial plexus were assessed retrospectively. Almost half (8/18) had a diffuse thickening of the brachial plexus nerve(s), six of which extended into the vertebral canal. The other 10/18 dogs had a nodule or mass in the axilla (1.2-338 cm3). Seven of those 10 masses also had diffuse nerve sheath thickening, three of which extended into the vertebral canal. The majority of tumors were hyperintense to muscle on T2-weighted images and isointense on T1-weighted images. Eight of 18 PNSTs had only minimal to mild contrast enhancement and many (13/18) enhanced heterogeneously following gadolinium DTPA administration. Transverse plane images with a large enough field of view (FOV) to include both axillae and the vertebral canal were essential, allowing in-slice comparison to detect lesions by asymmetry of structures. Higher resolution, smaller FOV, multiplanar examination of the cervicothoracic spine was important for appreciating nerve root and foraminal involvement. Short tau inversion recovery, T2-weighted, pre and postcontrast T1-weighted pulse sequences were all useful. Contrast enhancement was critical to detecting subtle diffuse nerve sheath involvement or small isointense nodules, and for accurately identifying the full extent of disease. Some canine brachial plexus tumors can be challenging to detect, requiring a rigorous multiplanar multi-pulse sequence MRI examination.  相似文献   

2-methylisoborneol implicated as a cause of off-flavour in channel catfish, Ictalums punctatus (Rafinesque), from commercial culture ponds in Mississippi     

J. F. MARTIN  C. P. McCOY  C. S. TUCKER  L. W. BENNETT 《Aquaculture Research》1988,19(2):151-157

Abstract. Samples of water, sediment and fish were collected from six commercial channel catfish, Ictalurus punctalus (Rafinesque), ponds from May to October and analysed for muddy-odour producing compounds. Three episodes of off-flavour in the fish occurred in late summer. The episodes were of 2–3 months' duration and correlated with the levels of 2-methylisoborneol in water, sediment and fish. Oscillatoria agardliii was the dominant phytoplankton in ponds with off-flavour fish. Other known muddy odour-producing compounds such as geosmin, 2-isopropyl-3-mcthoxypyrazinc, 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-6-methoxypyrazinc were not detected in the water sediment or at concentrations greater than 5·0 ng/l.  相似文献   

IMAGING DIAGNOSIS—METASTATIC ADRENAL PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA IN A DOG     

BENJAMIN SPALL  ANNIE V. CHEN  RUSSELL L. TUCKER  KEVIN K. LAHMERS  DANIEL J. RIGHTER  JONATHAN HAYLES 《Veterinary radiology & ultrasound》2011,52(5):534-537

A 10‐year‐old Akita mix became acutely paraplegic. Upon magnetic resonance imaging, multiple, slightly T2‐hyperintense, T1‐isointense extradural masses, relative to spinal cord were found in the vertebral canal. The retroperitoneal masses had mixed T2‐signal intensity. The contrast enhancement pattern for the spinal masses was both homogenous and heterogenous. The diagnosis was metastatic pheochromocytoma. Signal intensity of the tumors in this dog was similar to reports of pheochromocytoma in human beings.  相似文献

The toxicity of Castanospermum australe seeds for cattle     

RA McKENZIE  KG REICHMANN  CK DIMMOCK  PJ DUNSTER  JO TWIST 《Australian veterinary journal》1988,65(6):165-167

Two calves given a mean of 16.1 g and 16.4 g ripe Castanospermum australe seeds/kg body weight daily for 13 and 16 days respectively developed haemorrhagic gastroenteritis. The first calf died. The second calf had mild myocardial degeneration and necrosis and mild nephrosis at necropsy. Two calves given a mean of 16.8 g unripe C. australe seeds/kg body weight daily for 18 days remained clinically normal and had mild gastritis at necropsy. The activity of alpha-glucosidase was reduced in the mononuclear cells of peripheral blood and in skeletal muscle. This was attributed to the presence of the indolizidine alkaloid, castanospermine, in the seeds. The toxin causing the gastroenteritis and other lesions is unknown.  相似文献   

Eradication of paraquat-resistant Hordeum glaucum Steud. by prevention of seed production for 3 years     

S. B. POWLES  E. S. TUCKER  T. R. MORGAN 《Weed Research》1992,32(3):207-211

Seeds of two biotypes of the grass weed, barley grass (Hordeum glaucum Steud.), one resistant and the other susceptible to the herbicide paraquat, were studied to ascertain whether they had the same dormancy characteristics. Regardless of field storage conditions, both paraquat-resistant and susceptible H. glaucum germinated readily after identical short-term (2-month) innate dormancy. A field experiment conducted to determine the longevity of seeds of resistant H. glaucum in the soil seedbank revealed that, in the absence of fresh seed production, reserves of this species were exhausted within 3 years. These experiments establish that seeds of the resistant biotype of H. glaucum have a short residual life in the seedbank, and that by totally preventing seed production for 3 successive years it is possible to eradicate this resistant biotype. Supression rf'Hordeum glaucum résistant au paraquat par l'empechement de la production de graines pendant 3 ans Les graines de deux biotypes de graminées adventices, orge sauvage (Hordeum glaucum), l'un résistant et l'autre sensible à I'herbicide paraquat ont étéétudiées pour vé rifier sielles avaient les mêemes caractéristiques de dormance. Sans liaison avec les conditions de stockage au champ, H. glaucum, sensibles et resistantes ont germé facilement après une pé riode identique de dormance initiate de court terme (2 mois). Une expé rimentation de plein champ conduite pour déterminer la longévité des graines d'H. glaucum résistantes dans le sol, a montré qu'en l'absence de nouvelle production grainière, les réserves de cette espéce étaient éliminées en 3 ans. Ces essais montrent que les graines du biotype résistant et H. glaucum ont une vie résiduelle courte dans le stock grainier et que par un empêchement complet de la production grainière pendant 3 ans, il est possible de supprimer ce biotype résistant. Beseitigung einer Paraquat-resistenten Population von Hordeum glaucum Steud. durch dreijährige Verhinderung der Samenneubildung Samen eines gegenüber Paraquat resistenten und eines empfindlichen Biotyps von Hordeum glaucum Steud. wurden auf Dormanz hin untersucht:Ohne Einflußder vorausgegangenen Lagerung unter Feldbedingungen keimten beide Biotypen nach einer kurzen primären Dormanz von 2 Monaten gut. In einem Freilandversuch zur Lebensdauer der Samen resistenter Pflanzen im Boden erschöpfte sich der Samenvorrat bei fehlender Ergänzung innerhalb 3 Jahren. Demnach haben resistente Hordeum-glaucum-Pflanzen nur eine kurze Lebensdauer, und resistente Biotypen können durch Unterbindung der Samenproduktion innerhalb 3 Jahren ausgeschaltet werden.  相似文献   

The first case of genetically confirmed monozygotic twinning in the dog          下载免费PDF全文

CJ Joonè  KGM De Cramer  JO Nöthling 《Reproduction in domestic animals》2016,51(5):835-839

Monozygotic twinning has not previously been genetically confirmed in the dog. This case report describes the finding of two viable male monozygotic foetuses within one placental site during caesarean section. Their umbilical cords attached to a single placenta. Genetic profiling using a total of 38 microsatellite markers, as well as amelogenin and SRY for sex determination, revealed identical DNA profiles, whether derived from blood or tissue (buccal swabs) samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of monozygotic twinning in the dog confirmed using DNA profiling.  相似文献   

Biliary excretion of technetium-99m-sestamibi in wild-type dogs and in dogs with intrinsic (ABCB1-1Δ mutation) and extrinsic (ketoconazole treated) P-glycoprotein deficiency     

J. C. COELHO  R. TUCKER  J. MATTOON  G. ROBERTS  D. K. WAITING  & K. L. MEALEY 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》2009,32(5):417-421

P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the product of ABCB1 gene, is thought to play a role in the biliary excretion of a variety of drugs, but specific studies in dogs have not been performed. Because a number of endogenous (ABCB1 polymorphisms) and exogenous (pharmacological P-gp inhibition) factors can interfere with normal P-gp function, a better understanding of P-gp's role in biliary drug excretion is crucial in preventing adverse drug reactions and drug–drug interactions in dogs. The objectives of this study were to compare biliary excretion of technetium-99m-sestamibi (^99mTc-MIBI), a radio-labelled P-gp substrate, in wild-type dogs (ABCB1 wild/wild), and dogs with intrinsic and extrinsic deficiencies in P-gp function. Dogs with intrinsic P-gp deficiency included ABCB1 mut/mut dogs, and dogs with presumed intermediate P-gp phenotype (ABCB1 mut/wild). Dogs with extrinsic P-gp deficiency were considered to be ABCB1 wild/wild dogs treated with the P-gp inhibitor ketoconazole (5 mg/kg PO q12h × 9 doses). Results from this study indicate that ABCB1 mut/mut dogs have significantly decreased biliary excretion of ^99mTc-MIBI compared with ABCB1 wild/wild dogs. Treatment with ketoconazole significantly decreased biliary excretion of ^99mTc-MIBI in ABCB1 wild/wild dogs. P-gp appears to play an important role in the biliary excretion of ^99mTc-MIBI in dogs. It is likely that concurrent administration of a P-gp inhibitor such as ketoconazole will decrease P-gp-mediated biliary excretion of other substrate drugs as well.  相似文献
