鸡血藤药渣对废水中Cu2+的吸附行为

采用废弃中药渣鸡血藤（Spatholobus suberectus Dunn.,SSD）为生物吸附剂对废水中铜离子（Cu²⁺）进行吸附,探讨吸附性能和吸附机理,为废水中Cu²⁺的去除和中药渣的资源化利用提供参考依据。通过吸附性能试验探讨了吸附剂剂量、pH值、初始离子浓度、温度、时间和共存阳离子对SSD吸附Cu²⁺的影响,根据吸附前后SSD的形貌特征,探讨其对Cu²⁺的吸附机理。结果表明,SSD对Cu²⁺的吸附速率较大,在30 min时吸附达到平衡。增加吸附剂剂量、pH值和吸附时间均会促进SSD对Cu²⁺的吸附,共存阳离子会在一定程度上抑制Cu²⁺的吸附。Sips等温模型能更好地描述不同温度下SSD对Cu²⁺的吸附过程,吸附特征是Langmuir和Freundlich模型的结合。SSD对Cu²⁺的吸附符合准二级动力学方程,表明化学吸附是反应的限速步骤。SSD对Cu²⁺的吸附机理包括离子交换、络合和静电吸引。研究表明,废弃中药渣鸡血藤可用于废水中Cu²⁺的去除。

Acupuncture Diagnosis in Equine Stifle Disease

The stifle is a large and complex joint in quadrupeds, including horses, making the diagnosis of stifle diseases a challenge for the clinician. The detection of “stifle syndrome” during acupuncture examination of the equine stifle may be useful for diagnosis of stifle diseases in horses. The aim of the present study was to describe stifle syndrome diagnosis in horses. From 2001 through 2012, 810 athletic horses involved in different disciplines were examined using the technique of acupuncture diagnosis. Stifle syndrome was suspected when the following points were reactive: the sacral point suggestive of stifle disease located at the sacral origin of the biceps femoris muscle, bladder (BL)-20, BL-21, and stomach (ST)-30, together with the three local points in the muscle groove of the posterolateral aspect of the thigh. The diagnostic protocol included radiography and/or ultrasonography in certain cases. The horses were evaluated because of reduced athletic performance, routine or prepurchase examination, hind limb lameness, refusal to jump, inappetence, upward fixation of the patella, thoracolumbar spine or sacroiliac pain, suspensory lesion, and front hoof problems, and 86 (9.4%) were diagnosed with stifle syndrome. The sacral acupuncture point suggestive of stifle syndrome correlated with BL-21, local stifle points, gall bladder (GB)-27, spleen-13, BL-23, BL-52, BL-26, and/or GB-25, ST-30, BL-54 (P < .0001), and BL-20 (P = .003). Twenty-two (25.6%) of the 86 horses with stifle syndrome underwent ultrasonography and/or radiography, and lesions were detected in 21. In conclusion, acupuncture for diagnosis of stifle disease may be considered a diagnostic method to be included in routine clinical examination of horses, and its reproducibility shall be investigated in further studies.     

Long-Term Follow-up of Superficial Digital Flexor Tendonitis Treated by a Single Intralesional Injection of a ReGeneraTing Agent in 51 Horses

ReGeneraTing Agents (RGTA) are nanopolysaccharides engineered to mimic heparan sulfates and have been shown to stimulate tissue repair and healing (skin, cornea, gingival, and muscle) in several animal models of injury and in human medicine. A preliminary study, monocentric and uncontrolled, was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a dedicated RGTA (named Equitend) in improving the healing quality of the injured tendon after a single and ultrasound-guided intralesional injection. Improvement of ultrasonographic appearance of tendinous or ligamentous lesion was documented at least over 4 months in Equitend-treated horses and was further supported by another study on superficial digital flexor tendonitis, in 51 horses (16 French Standardbred trotters (ST), 13 Thoroughbreds (TB), and 22 eventers). Long-term follow-up of these horses showed high rates of return to racing, with 95% of eventers, 87.5% of French ST, and 77% of TB. The mean duration before the first race or competition was 6.6 and 7.4 months for ST and eventers, respectively. The group of 16 treated ST was then compared with a matched control group, showing that the Equitend-treated group was able to return to a higher level of earning after lesion (74% vs. 15% in the control group). Furthermore, the Equitend-treated group was back in racing 2.4 months earlier than the control group.     

Use of stem cells in equine musculoskeletal disorders

Stem cell therapies for musculoskeletal disorders are becoming commonplace in the horse. In order to decipher the many options available for stem cell therapy and interpret results of accumulating experimental and clinical data, practitioners should have a basic understanding of stem cells.     

中药复方宫炎净注射液对奶牛子宫内膜炎部分血液学指标影响及毒性试验研究

选择新疆第八师某团已确诊为患子宫内膜炎的奶牛20头,观察宫炎净注射液治疗前后的部分血液学指标变化,并与健康对照组和未治疗组进行比较,考察宫炎净注射液的抗炎作用;通过小鼠口服和腹腔注射宫炎净注射液进行急性毒性试验,观察给药后小鼠的临床症状和病理变化,考察宫炎净注射液的临床毒性.试验结果显示,使用宫炎净注射液治疗后,奶牛血液中的红细胞总数、血红蛋白含量和淋巴细胞数量均有所上升,白细胞总数和粒细胞数有所下降;2个疗程后,中药治疗组奶牛的部分血液学指标均接近正常水平,与正常对照组无显著性差异;毒性试验显示,用药后小白鼠临床表现和剖检均无异常情况。结果表明,中药复方宫炙净注射液安全无毒。     

兽用“复方草连”纳米注射液的制备及其退热作用初探

为了研发新型兽用纳米注射液,发挥中药独特优势,采用双提法提取中草药得到挥发油与水溶性药液,将挥发油以纳米胶束的形式增溶于水溶性药液中,再经精制、灌装、灭菌等步骤制备成“复方草连”纳米注射液。挥发油纳米胶束的外观为圆球形,粒径为100＋12nm,表面Zet。电位为～83．2±0．8mV;样品于40±2℃条件下放置,其第6个月与0个月的气相色谱图基本一致,表明纳米胶束对于挥发油具有良好的稳定作用。初步结果表明“复方草连”纳米注射液与安乃近注射液均能降低患猪的体温,二者之间无显著性差异（P〉0．05）,但“复方草连”纳米注射液组患猪的外周血液T细胞亚群CD3＋、CD4＋含量（28．59±5．53％）高于安乃近组（18．43±4．18％）．二者之间有显著差异（P〈0．05）。
