Hypocalcemia in a critically ill patient

Objective: To present a case of clinical hypocalcemia in a critically ill septic dog. Case summary: A 12‐year old, female spayed English sheepdog presented in septic shock 5 days following hemilaminectomy surgery. Streptococcus canis was cultured from the incision site. Seven days after surgery, muscle tremors were noted and a subsequent low serum ionized calcium level was measured and treated. Intensive monitoring, fluid therapy, and antibiotic treatment were continued because of the sepsis and hypocalcemia, but the dog was euthanized 2 weeks after surgery. New or unique information provided: Low serum ionized calcium levels are a common finding in critically ill human patients, especially in cases of sepsis, pancreatitis, and rhabdomyolysis. In veterinary patients, sepsis or streptococcal infections are not commonly thought of as a contributing factor for hypocalcemia. Potential mechanisms of low serum ionized calcium levels in critically ill patients include intracellular accumulation of calcium ions, altered sensitivity and function of the parathyroid gland, alterations in Vitamin D levels or activity, renal loss of calcium, and severe hypomagnesemia. Pro‐inflammatory cytokines and calcitonin have also been proposed to contribute to low ionized calcium in the critically ill. Many veterinarians rely on total calcium levels instead of serum ionized calcium levels to assess critical patients and may be missing the development of hypocalcemia. Serum ionized calcium levels are recommended over total calcium levels to evaluate critically ill veterinary patients.     

犬贾第虫dsRNA病毒的鉴定及特性

对分离到的6株犬贾第虫（Giardia cnais)包囊进行核酸分析，在其中1株犬贾第虫核酸的琼脂糖凝胶电泳图谱上观察到1条长度约7.0kb的片段。经鉴定，该核酸不能被DNA酶（100mg/L）降解，对质量浓度低的RNA酶（0.1mg/L)不敏感，但可被质量浓度高的RNA酶（10mg/L）降解。纯化包囊经流氮冻融后，磷钨酸负染，电镜观察发现有球形、直径约为33nm的病毒样粒子存在，包囊超薄切片在胞质中也观察到该病毒样粒子存在。RNA依赖RNA聚合酶活性测定结果表明，该病毒具有RNA依赖RNA聚合酶的活性。犬贾第虫dsRNA病毒核经RT-PCR扩增后得到1条预计扩增大小的片段，将其回收后连接到pMD18-T载体上进行克隆并测序，所得序列仅与蓝氏贾第虫病毒具有较高同源性。     

Abdominal compartment syndrome in a dog with babesiosis

Objective: To describe a case of abdominal compartment syndrome in a dog with babesiosis. Case summary: A 9‐year‐old female Bull Terrier presented with complicated babesiosis. Additional findings including respiratory distress, abdominal distension, and a decrease in urine output associated with an elevated abdominal pressure (23.5–25 cmH₂O) led to a further diagnosis of abdominal compartment syndrome. This case report describes the clinical course of both conditions through resolution. New information provided: Abdominal compartment syndrome is not well described in the veterinary literature, but clinicians should be aware of this potential complication in critically ill patients. The pathophysiology and veterinary literature of abdominal compartment syndrome are reviewed.     

玩赏犬犬瘟热的诊断治疗报告

诊治９５例玩赏犬犬病，根据其流行特点、临床症状、剖检结果、实验室检验、电镜检查和人工复制试验确诊为犬瘟热，其临床表现可分为呼吸型、神经型、消化道型和皮肤型４种类型。经采取综合治疗措施，本病的治愈率呼吸型的可达９３％；神经型的为７０％；而呼吸型并发神经型的病程十分严重，治愈率只有６５％左右，其他病型的则死亡率很低。     

ABC-ELISA法检测犊弓首蛔虫IgG抗体实验研究

首次以动物为模型,应用 ABC-ELISA 法对家兔血清中犊弓首蛔虫 IgG 抗体进行了测试研究。实验中对犊弓首蛔虫的成虫体壁抗原、体腔液抗原、生殖器官抗原、虫卵抗原、幼虫抗原进行了比较研究,结果显示:幼虫抗原对血清检测的 P/N 值及对被检血清的检出率最高,而检测对照组血清未出现假阳性反应.由此表明,幼虫抗原是最敏感和特异的抗原.在检测方法上,ABC-ELISA 法对被检血清的检出率为96.62%。常规 ELISA 法和 IHA 法的检出率分别为90%和56.67%。3种方法检测对照组血清未出现假阳性反应;在抗体检测滴度上,ABC-ELISA 法比常规 ELISA 法高1～4倍,比 IHA 法高4～128倍.经统计处理,ABC-ELISA 法比常规 ELISA 法敏感1.21倍,比 IHA 法敏感33.76倍.在特异性实验中,用 ABC-ELISA 法检测家兔血清中犊弓首蛔虫 IgG 抗体,与实验家兔乳突类圆线虫和肝片吸虫阳性血清均未出现交叉反应,表明该法检测犊弓首蛔虫抗体特异性良好.另外,对4份血清多次重复检测结果,批内重复和批间试验 OD 值变异系数不超过10%,表明该法稳定性良好.实验结果表明,ABC-ELISA 法具有敏感性高,特异性强,并有较好的稳定性,可用于犊弓首蛔虫抗体的检测,故该法的建立无疑具有理论和实践意义.

犬种布氏菌地方株的DNA中G Cmol%测定

首次利用热变性法对9株地方犬种布氏菌DNA的G C含量进行了测定,同时以2株国际标准株为对照。G C mol％值在56.6～58.4范围内,与文献报道的犬种布氏菌和我们所用的2株标准株所得的G C mol％值是一致的。各株菌经常规检定、噬菌体裂解试验、血清学检查所得的结果均符合于犬种布氏菌的特性。说明本试验测定的G C mol％值代表了犬种布氏菌的DNA分子结构比值。为我国地方菌种、特别是粗糙型布氏菌的检定提供了一个新的方法。此外,对传统的DNA提取法进行了改进,使之更便于本试验的要求。     

Efficacy of pre-treatment with lufenuron for the prevention of Microsporum canis infection in a feline direct topical challenge model

Oral lufenuron is reportedly an effective treatment for some cats with dermatophytosis. The purpose of this study was to determine if lufenuron, when used as a pre-treatment prior to challenge exposure, would be protective against the development of infection after the direct topical application of fungal macrocondia (Microsporum canis spores). Three groups (n = 6/group) of juvenile cats were treated with either monthly oral lufenuron (30 or 133 mg/kg) or placebo. After 2 months of treatment, kittens were challenged using 10(5)Microsporum canis spores applied to the skin under occlusion. Cats were examined weekly and the following data collected: Wood's lamp examination; scoring for scale/crust, erythema and induration; lesion size; and the development of satellite lesions. Fungal cultures were performed bi-weekly. All cats became infected; the infections progressed, and then regressed, in a similar fashion in all groups. There were no consistent statistically significant differences in weekly infection scores between treated and untreated cats throughout the study. Treated cats did not recover faster than untreated cats. We conclude that oral lufenuron at the dosing schedule and conditions used in this study did not prevent dermatophytosis or alter the course of infection by direct topical challenge.     

Canine vector-borne disease pathogens in dogs from south-east Queensland and north-east Northern Territory

Objectives To determine the prevalence of canine vector‐borne diseases (CVBD: Babesia spp., Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia spp., haemotropic mycoplasmas and Hepatozoon) in Australian dogs; namely, dogs from pounds in south‐east Queensland and an indigenous Aboriginal community in the north‐east of the Northern Territory. Design and procedure Blood samples were collected from 100 pound dogs and 130 Aboriginal community dogs and screened for the CVBD pathogens using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All positive PCR products were sequenced for species confirmation. Results In total, 3 pound dogs and 64 Aboriginal community dogs were infected with at least one CVBD pathogen. Overall, B. vogeli was detected in 13 dogs, A. platys in 49, M. haemocanis in 23, Candidatus Mycoplasma haematoparvum in 3 and C. M. haemobos in 1 dog. Co‐infections were detected in 22 Aboriginal community dogs. Conclusions This study found B. vogeli, A. platys and haemotropic mycoplasma infections to be common in dogs in subtropical and tropical areas of Australia. This study also reports for the first time the prevalence and genetic characterisation of haemotropic mycoplasmas in dogs in Australia.
