Recent studies on the enterotropic strain of avian infectious bronchitis virus

Avian infectious bronchitis (AIB) is an economically important disease of chickens. Recent studies have revealed enterotropism by at least one strain of AIB virus with pathological lesions in parts of the gut. This review highlights the findings of the studies so far made on this enterotropic strain of AIB virus.     

Biovailability of ivermectin administered orally to dogs

The bioavailability of three formulations of ivermectin was determined following oral administration to dogs. The average peak plasma level (C _max) of ivermectin administered in the standard tablet formulation at 6 and 100 µg/kg of body weight was 2.97 and 44.31 ng/g, respectively. This suggest dose-dependent pharmacokinetics.C _max and total ivermectin bioavailability, as assessed from the area under the plasma curve (AUC), were similar between two tablet formulations of ivermectin administered at 100 µg/kg. Furthermore,C _max was similar following administration of radiolabelled ivermectin at 6 µg/kg in either a beef-based chewable formulation or in the standard tablet formulation.     

影响水产动物药代动力学的因素

对影响水产动物药代动力学的机体因素、药理因素和环境因素进行了综述。影响药动学的因素很多，尤其对于所处环境因素复杂的水产动物来说，除了遗传种属、性别等生理因素和病理、药理等因素外，环境因子尤其是水温能显著影响药代动力学过程。研究不同条件下的药动学，对于合理、正确地使用药物有重要的指导作用。     

日粮锌、硒水平对肉鸡肠道黏膜屏障结构的影响

为了探讨微量元素锌和硒相互作用对肉鸡肠道黏膜屏障结构的影响，将24只1日龄AA肉鸡随机分3组，分别饲喂添加有高锌高硒(锌1000mg／kg、硒5mg／kg)、低锌低硒(锌34mg／kg、硒0．08mg／kg)或常锌常硒(锌50mg／kg、硒0．15mg／kg)的日粮45d后，观察肠黏膜上皮细胞、上皮内淋巴细胞和盲肠扁桃体的形态结构变化。结果表明：高锌高硒或低锌低硒组肉鸡的肠黏膜结构有明显的损伤，表现为肠黏膜上皮细胞萎缩，绒毛长度下降，上皮内淋巴细胞数量减少；盲肠扁桃体的弥散淋巴组织和淋巴小结中，淋巴细胞数量减少，细胞出现肿胀，有的核消失，结缔组织增生，淋巴小结萎缩。尤其是高锌高硒组的损伤最为严重。而常锌常硒组肉鸡肠黏膜和盲肠扁桃体的形态结构正常。结论：日粮中按锌50mg／kg、硒0．15mg／kg的比例添加，对于维持肠道黏膜的正常屏障结构是合适的。过高或过低的锌和硒对小肠黏膜有毒性作用，破坏其屏障功能；而且高锌和高硒可相互促进以增强其毒性作用。     

堆型艾美耳球虫早熟株免疫雏鸡后血清抗体水平动态变化的研究

用堆型艾美耳球虫早熟株对雏鸡进行一次免疫和二次免疫试验 ,研究雏鸡血清抗体的动态变化。试验结果显示 ,在一次免疫试验中 ,各剂量组雏鸡均在免疫后 2天血清抗体出现较高的 OD值 ,之后呈下降趋势 ,11天后逐渐上升 ,到 12～ 13天时出现第 2个峰值 ,各组间的血清抗体 OD值比较 ,3 0 0 0个卵囊 /只剂量组极显著 (P<0 .0 1)高于 10 0 0个 /只、2 0 0 0个 /只和 5 0 0 0个 /只剂量组。在二次免疫试验中 ,8日龄首免、14日龄二免组雏鸡的抗体水平动态变化整体呈上升趋势 ,峰值 (0 .3 75 )出现在二免后第 10天 ,其后稳定地维持在较高水平 (平均 OD值为 0 .3 5 ) ,并且其抗体水平显著地高于 6日龄首免、12日龄二免组 (P<0 .0 5 )。抗体水平动态变化表明 ,堆型艾美耳球虫早熟株有较强的免疫保护力 ,其免疫方式可选用一次免疫 ,剂量为 3 0 0 0个卵囊 /只 ,也可采用二次免疫 ,即 8日龄首免 (15 0 0个 /只 ) ,14日龄二免 (15 0 0个 /只 ) ,从抗体动态变化的稳定性看 ,二次免疫更佳     

在双低菜籽饼型日粮中添加植酸酶对肉鸡钙磷利用率的影响

在含10%双低菜籽饼的肉鸡日粮中添加600u/kg和700u/kg的植酸酶并取代一半的磷酸氢钙,观察植酸酶对肉鸡钙、磷利用率的影响。结果表明:添加600u/kg和700u/kg植酸酶的试2、3组较未添加植酸酶的试1组其钙和磷利用率分别提高7.08个百分点、9.85个百分点和10.97个百分点、12.13个百分点,植酸磷的利用率提高13.35个百分点、14.01个百分点,磷的排泄量下降10.90个百分点、13.30个百分点,差异显著(P<0.05)。证明在双低菜籽饼型日粮中添加植酸酶改进了钙、磷的利用率,而且还可取代一半的磷酸氢钙。     

鸡马立克氏病琼扩抗原的研制及应用

将马立克氏病死鸡的皮肤或羽囊捣碎，制成MD琼扩抗原。试验结果表明，自制MD皮肤和羽囊琼扩抗原与标准抗的检测MD抗体的敏感性和特异性相同，但皮肤琼扩抗原制造方法相对比较简单，产量也较高。     

乳酸菌与中药合生元对肉鸡生长性能及饲料利用率的影响

本试验分别向肉仔鸡日粮中添加等量的抗生素和乳酸菌与中药合生元制剂,通过测定肉仔鸡的各项生长指标和饲料利用率指标,探讨乳酸菌与中药合生元在肉鸡生长和饲料利用率方面替代抗生素的优势.结果表明,试验组与对照组在生长性能和饲料利用率上各指标均差异不显著（P〉0.05）,说明乳酸菌与中药合生元可以替代抗生素饲喂给肉仔鸡.     

生物素对肉仔鸡脾脏细胞PCNA基因的mRNA表达的影响

采用分子生物学方法研究了生物素对脾脏细胞增殖细胞核抗原（PCNA）基因的mRNA表达的影响。将60只1日龄AA雄性肉仔鸡随机分成3个处理，每个处理20只鸡，基础日粮为小麦-酪蛋白-鱼粉型日粮，在基础日粮中分别添加0．30mg／kg和2．7mg／kg2个水平的生物素，包括对照组共计3种日粮处理，为了刺激PCNA基因表达产物mRNA的表达，在48日龄采用皮下注射方式定量接种禽流感疫苗。结果表明：添加生物素显著提高了脾脏细胞PCNA基因表达产物mRNA的表达量（P〈0．01），其中2．7mg／kg处理组极显著高于对照组和0．3mg／kg处理组（P〈O．01），0．3mg／kg处理组和对照组之间无显著性差异（P〉0．05），由此推断，生物素通过促进脾脏细胞PCNA基因的mRNA表达，进而促进脾脏细胞的增殖。     

The pharmacokinetics of thiamphenicol in lactating cows

The pharmacokinetics of thiamphenicol were studied after intravenous and intramuscular administration of 25 mg/kg body weight in lactating cows. Distribution (t _1/2) and elimination (t _1/2) half-lives of 6.10±1.39 min and 1.60±0.30 h, respectively, were obtained after intravenous administration. The body clearance was 3.9±0.077 ml/kg per min and the apparent volume of distribution was 1220.79±256.67 ml/kg. The rate at which thiamphenicol appeared in the milk, as indicated by the penetration half-life (t _1/2P) (serum to quarters), was found to be 36.89±11.14 min. The equivalent elimination half-life (t _1/2E) (quarters to serum) from the milk was 3.62±1.06 h and the peak thiamphenicol concentration in the milk was 23.09±3.42 µg/ml at 2.5±0.32 h.After intramuscular injection, the elimination half-life was 2.2±0.40 h, the absorption half-life was 4.02±1.72 min and the peak concentration in the serum was 30.90±5.24 µg/ml at 23±8.4 min. The bioavailability after intramuscular administration approached 100%. The penetration half-life was 50.59±6.87 min, the elimination half-life was 5.91±4.97 h and the mean peak concentration in the milk was 17.37±2.20 µg/ml at 3.4±0.22 h.Abbreviations AUC area under the concentration-time curve - CAP chloramphenicol - C _max peak concentration - IM intramuscular - IV intravenous - TAP thiamphenicol - t _1/2 distribution half-life - t _1/2 elimination half-life - V _c volume of central compartment - V _d volume of distribution
