Partial pressure of end-tidal CO2 sampled via an intranasal catheter as a substitute for partial pressure of arterial CO2 in dogs

Objective: To demonstrate correlation and clinical usefulness of the partial pressure of end‐tidal CO₂ (ETCO₂) measurement by nasal catheter placement in sedated dogs with and without concurrent nasal oxygen administration as a substitute for partial pressure of arterial CO₂ (PaCO₂). Design: Prospective, cross‐over trial. Setting: University of Saskatchewan veterinary research laboratory. Animals: Six cross‐breed dogs with a mean (±SD) weight of 29.1±4.03 kg. Interventions: All dogs were sedated with 5 μg/kg medetomidine intravenously (IV) and an arterial catheter was placed in a dorsal pedal artery for removal of blood for gas analysis. A nasal catheter was placed in the ventral meatus and connected to a capnometer for ETCO₂ measurements in all dogs. Dogs receiving supplemental nasal oxygen had a second nasal catheter placed in the contralateral naris. Measurements and main results: In the group without nasal oxygen supplementation, the ETCO₂ measurement underestimated (negative bias) the PaCO₂ by ?2.20 mmHg with limits of agreement (95% confidence interval) of ?5.79, 1.39 mmHg. In the group receiving oxygen supplementation, ETCO₂ measurement underestimated (negative bias) the PaCO₂ by ?2.46 mmHg with limits of agreement (95% confidence interval) of ?8.42, 3.50 mmHg. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that ETCO₂ monitoring via a nasal catheter provides a clinically acceptable substitute to arterial blood gas analysis as a means of monitoring ventilation in healthy, sedated dogs. The limits of agreement were within acceptable limits with and without concurrent insufflation of oxygen.     

警犬识破暴雨中的凶杀罪恶

2007年7月14日下午17时许,河南省淮阳县冯塘乡罗庄村村民宋某之女在本村附近失踪,其家人及亲戚在多方寻找无果的情况下,于当晚20时报案. 　　接到报警后,冯塘派出所民警连夜赶往失踪者家中进行调查了解情况.并协助其家人在暴雨中积极寻找失踪者,但一夜无果.7月15日上午8时许,失踪女宋某的尸体在该村西北角树林西边的水沟内被发现,派出所民警随即将这一情况向淮阳县公安局领导及刑警大队报告.局长段业林当即指令全局启动命案侦破预案,同时调动警犬到现场协助破案.……     

成功治愈犬瘟热2例

犬瘟热是由犬瘟热病毒(CDV)引起的,是感染肉食兽中的犬科(尤其是幼犬),鼬科及一部分浣熊科动物的高度接触性、致死性传染病。病犬早期表现双相热型、急性鼻卡他,随后以支气管炎、卡他性肺炎、严重胃肠炎和神经症状为特征,少数病例出现鼻端和脚垫的高度角化。笔者在临床工作中,遇到过多例犬瘟热病例但仅有此2例成功治愈,现介绍如下:一、基本情况2006年4月18日晨,某犬场饲养员发现5头犬有咳嗽、厌食、流浓鼻涕等症状。兽医经过诊断,确诊其中一头藏獒(公,3月龄,10千克体重)为犬瘟热。4月19日晨,又有一头血犬(公,14月龄,35千克左右)发病:咳嗽…

木本婆婆纳‘维力镜像’的组培快繁技术

木本婆婆纳（Hebe）原产澳洲,主要分布于新西兰和澳大利亚的东南部,全属约100种,栽培品种超过800个,是一类观赏常绿花灌木.在澳洲和欧洲,被广泛应用在观赏园艺和庭院绿化上,并对Hebe属植物的育种和栽培做了大量的研究.近年来,我国也开始逐步认识和引种Hebe属植物,并有少量用于生产,但组培方面的研究国内尚未见报道.     

添加有机硅表面活性剂对低容量喷雾防治小麦蚜虫的影响

室内试验表明,有机硅表面活性剂Silwet408、非离子表面活性剂OP-10和JFC可显著降低药液的表面张力,其中Silwet408在质量分数为0.05%时可使水的表面张力降到22.05 mN/m,表面活性最强。当药液中含有0.001%的有机硅表面活性剂Silwet408时,其在小麦叶片上的接触角即开始显著减小,且在小麦背面的接触角小于在正面的接触角。在10%吡虫啉可湿性粉剂稀释2500倍药液中添加Silwet408,药液的表面张力和其在小麦叶片上的接触角明显降低,雾滴在小麦叶片上扩展面积明显增大。进一步田间试验表明,使用手持离心式低容量喷雾机喷雾,在10%吡虫啉可湿性粉剂药液中添加质量分数为0.05%和0.1%的Silwet408,可显著增加对小麦蚜虫的防治效果。

Nucleotide sequence homology to bovine viral diarrhea virus 2 (BVDV 2) in the 5′ untranslated region of BVDVs from cattle with mucosal disease or persistent infection in Japan

Cytopathogenic and non-cytopathogenic bovine viral diarrhea viruses (BVDVs) were isolated from cattle with mucosal disease or persistent infection in Japan. These isolates were compared for antigenic properties by cross-neutralization tests with Japanese reference strains of BVDV belonging to classical type 1. Significantly low cross-reactivity to reference strains was noted, indicating the viruses to possibly represent a new serotype in Japan. Thus, to determine the genotype of the isolates, nucleotide sequences of the 5′ untranslated region were determined and compared with those of previously reported BVDV 1 and 2. The isolates were clearly shown to belong to BVDV 2, not to BVDV 1.
