MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING CHARACTERISTICS OF ASCENDING HEMORRHAGIC MYELOMALACIA IN A DOG

A 4-year-old neutered female terrier-cross was evaluated for an acute onset of paraplegia. Utilizing magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, the cause of the neurologic deficits was determined to be a lumbar intervertebral disc extrusion. The MR study additionally demonstrated parenchymal hyperintensity on T2-weighted images and similarly located diffuse hypointensity on gradient echo images, cranial and caudal to the compressive extradural lesion. Hemorrhagic myelomalacia was suspected based on these MR characteristics, which was subsequently confirmed surgically and histopathologically.     

ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF THE EXTERNAL EAR CANAL AND TYMPANIC MEMBRANE IN DOGS

Ultrasonographic imaging of the canine external ear canal, tympanic membrane, and tympanic bulla was described in five healthy beagle dogs before and after infusion of saline into the ear canal. Saline served as an acoustic window. With this method, the external ear canal, and tympanic bulla were visible in the same imaging plane and the integrity of the tympanic membrane could be evaluated indirectly by confirming an intact tympanic membrane, which appeared at the end of the ear canal as a hyperechoic line with reverberation. Experimentally, perforated tympanic membrane could be evaluated by identifying anechoic saline in the tympanic bulla lumen. The air and fluid-filled tympanic bulla were also visualized. Ultrasonography with saline as an acoustic window appears to be helpful for the evaluation of the external ear canal, tympanic membrane, and tympanic bulla and it may have the potential to be a useful clinical tool in evaluation of integrity of the tympanic membrane.     

亚洲璃眼蜱唾液腺-新基因（GP29）的原核表达及产物鉴定

将吸血诱导的亚洲璃眼蜱唾液腺差异表达基因GP29的开放性阅读框插入pGEX-4T-1，转化BL21，表达出一相对质量为53ku的蛋白，其大小与预计结果一致。蛋白质的肽质量图谱和“1381．7511”肽段序列两方面的结果证明，SDS-PAGE胶板上相对质量为53ku的蛋白就是由目的基因表达的GST融合蛋白。该蛋白与Swiss PROT库中的任何蛋白均有较大差别，可能是一个新功能分子。     

瘤胃微生物总DNA快速提取法研究

本文介绍了一种简便快速地提取瘤胃微生物细胞总DNA的方法,该法是对提取植物的CTAB法进行改进而成。与经典反复冻融 SDS/蛋白酶K裂解法相比,该法可在数小时内高效地提取瘤胃内容物总DNA,经琼脂糖凝胶电泳对所提取瘤胃微生物总DNA进行检测,证明所获得的瘤胃总DNA符合分子生物学操作要求。     

现代家兔驯化史初探

现代家兔起源于野生穴兔,它与山兔属的野生兔是同科而不同属的动物,学术界对家兔的起源地有外来论和原产论两种不同的观点。1400~1800年前我国家兔驯化首先从宫廷开始,然后传到民间,并由北向南逐步扩大,但真正形成生产性动物只有200余年的历史。     

蟛蜞菊对肉兔的饲用价值

选择24只体重相近的40日龄肉兔,随机分成2组,每组12只,基础日粮相同,青饲料分别饲喂桂牧1号象草与蟛蜞菊,两组在平均日增重、平均日耗基础料量、平均日耗青料量间均无显著差异(P>0.05),表明肉兔采食蟛蜞菊可正常生长发育。同时,两组肉兔的血液指标和内脏重量无显著差异,表明蟛蜞菊与桂牧1号的饲用价值相似,可用于肉兔生产。     

DNA分子标记检测家蚕苏菊、明虎品种和纯度的研究

利用单粒卵微量DNA抽提法,从江苏省家蚕主要品种苏菊、明虎及其一代杂交种蚕卵快速提取出基因组DNA,用筛选出的 RAPD随机引物S77稳定扩增出苏菊、明虎的DNA特异性片段RS和RM,克隆和测序后大小分别为1694bp和1303bp,使用Blastn程序在NCBI 数据库检索发现,Rs的nt30-429与一个家蚕WGS(whole genome shotgun sequence)(dbj|BAAB01119085．1,contis504766)的nt472-874有92％的同源性,其中存在11个空缺位点(Gaps);RM的nt1070-1301与另一个家蚕WGS(dbj|BAAB01141578．1,contig554782)的nt262-31有91％的碱基相同,其中存在2个Gaps。进一步根据RS和RM序列合成SCAR标记引物PS-1(FP:5’ttccccccagtacgcaataac3’,RP:5’ ttccccccagacgtcacgtact3’)和PM-1(FP:5’ttcccccagtgatggaatttacg3’,RP:5’ttccccccagtccaatgttaca3’),能够准确、快速地鉴别所标记的苏菊、明虎及其F1蚕品种。     

D型魏氏梭菌毒素研究进展

魏氏梭菌病是由魏氏梭菌引起的一种重要的人兽共患传染病。可导致各种动物的肠毒血症或坏死性肠炎,D型魏氏梭菌病包括牛、羔羊、绵羊、山羊以及灰鼠的肠毒血症等。D型魏氏梭菌所产的毒素是引起动物死亡的重要因素之一,本文综述了D型魏氏梭菌毒素的结构、功能以及检测方法的研究进展。
