茶多酚对家兔C-BSA肾炎的治疗作用

考察了茶多酚对家兔C-BSA肾炎的治疗作用.结果表明:茶多酚大(306 mg/kg)、中(102 mg/kg)、小(34mg/kg)剂量组及地塞米松阳性对照组均能明显降低C-BSA肾炎模型免的尿蛋白和血清肌酐(P＜0.05或P＜0.01);减轻肾小球肿胀、细胞增生、血栓形成及白细胞浸润,修复肾小球病理改变;降低血清循环免疫复合物(P＜0.05).茶多酚大剂量的作用优于阳性对照药地塞米松(0.1 mg/kg,P＜0.05),并且大、小剂量间差异显著,有明显的剂量相关性.结果提示:茶多酚对家免C-BSA肾炎模型具有明显的疗效.     

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。     

基因治疗及其在兽医学中的应用

基因治疗是20世纪90年代形成的，该技术的研究一开始就与动物医学的发展密不可分，主要是通过建立动物疾病模型分析和研究基因治疗各种层面上的问题，但它真正在兽医临床上的研究是近年才开始的。许多试验结果表明，一旦载体的安全性有了保障，基因治疗将有可能成为动物重大疫病有效预防和治疗的方法，在兽医学中有很广阔的应用前景。     

Analysis of KIT expression and KIT exon 11 mutations in canine oral malignant melanomas

KIT, a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase, is one of the specific targets for anti-cancer therapy. In humans, its expression and mutations have been identified in malignant melanomas and therapies using molecular-targeted agents have been promising in these tumours. As human malignant melanoma, canine malignant melanoma is a fatal disease with metastases and the poor response has been observed with all standard protocols. In our study, KIT expression and exon 11 mutations in dogs with histologically confirmed malignant oral melanomas were evaluated. Although 20 of 39 cases were positive for KIT protein, there was no significant difference between KIT expression and overall survival. Moreover, polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of KIT exon 11 in 17 samples did not detect any mutations and proved disappointing. For several reasons, however, KIT expression and mutations of various exons including exon 11 should be investigated in more cases.     

TOTAL SKIN ELECTRON THERAPY TECHNIQUE FOR THE CANINE PATIENT

Cutaneous epitheliotropic T‐cell lymphoma in canine patients is a radiation sensitive tumor but total skin electron therapy is used only rarely. Our purpose was to evaluate dose distribution from a total skin electron therapy technique using 6 MeV electron beams. The treatment was comprised of 12 fields, with the dog in lateral recumbency in a stride position at an extended distance from the source. Uniformity, flatness and symmetry were determined for each beam. The composite percent depth dose profile for all beams was measured in solid water phantoms and skin dose was determined on a canine cadaver using thermoluminescent dosimeters. The resulting d_max of the composite beams was 1 mm and dose variation over the skin was 6.8%, with the extremities having the most uneven dose distribution. Dimensions of the fields were adequate to obtain an effective treatment profile for the entire thickness of canine epidermis and the technique was feasible for clinical application. Individual tailoring of the protocol to deal with hot and cold spots may be necessary and set up will likely involve a significant time commitment for the therapy team.

IRIDIUM-192: A LITERATURE REVIEW FOR FURTHER REFERENCING THE ISOTOPE, ITS ACTIVITY UNITS, AND DOSIMETRY TECHNIQUES

The individual embarking on an iridium-192 brachytherapy program is faced with an abundance of concepts, terms and dosimetry techniques. This article introduces the beginning brachytherapist to the basic physical parameters of iridium-192, to the potential units for source strength and to the general concepts of the various dosimetry techniques. Multiple literature references are listed for more in-depth study.     

Induced Acute Ruminai Acidosis in Goats Treated with Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and Bicarbonate

Ruminai acidosis was induced in twenty-one 10-month-old West African Dwarf Goats by feeding a suspension of 80 g wheat flour per kg body-weight (day 0) through a stomach tube. Ruminai and systemic acidosis was diagnosed on day 1 in all goats. Clinical signs included loss of rumination and appetite, trembling, and watery diarrhoea. The detection of acidic faeces during the first 24h was considered of diagnostic importance. Subgroups were treated orally on days 1,2, and 3 either with 1 g of sodium bicarbonate per kg bodyweight, with 1 g of baking yeast per kg, or with a combination of these treatments at 0.5 g of each per kg. A fourth group served as untreated controls.Peroral bicarbonate neutralization was highly effective in the treatment of rumen acidosis, whereas the use of yeast was found ineffective. The combined treatment had a moderate effect probably due to the bicarbonate.Three fatal cases (60%) occurred in the untreated group compared with none in the bicarbonate group, and 2 in each of the remaining groups. This corresponded to 33% of the yeast treated group and 40% of the combined treated group. Details were given on post mortem examinations performed on all survivors on day 11. Lesions included subacute rumenitis and abomasal ulcers. No lesions were found in 3 of the bicarbonate treated goats and in 2 of the animals receiving combined treatment.
