Strangulation of the duodenum just oral to its caudal flexura caused by a volvulus

An 8-year-old Haflinger mare with a 10-day-old foal at foot was referred with mild abdominal pain. On the basis of clinical examination, blood and peritoneal fluid analysis, the cause of pain was suspected septic peritonitis. The horse was initially managed medically, with the horse placed in box confinement under close monitoring. No permission was given for an exploratory laparotomy, and it was decided to perform a diagnostic laparoscopy in the standing horse. The laparoscopy revealed a 360-degree anticlockwise partial duodenal volvulus of the caudal descending duodenum, which was manually reduced (hand-assisted laparoscopy). After the release, the mesentery of the duodenum showed an ischaemic band (yellowish white and dark red with a hyperaemic side) and the duodenum had a distinct ischaemic ring (orally and aborally) distinguishing the incarcerated part from the normal duodenum. Ten minutes after the release, the colour remained the same. In conjunction with the owner, it was decided to euthanise the pony. Pathology confirmed the presence of a strangulation ring and the ischaemic condition of the involved duodenum.     

白细胞介素2对固始鸡十二指肠黏膜免疫增强作用

以父母代固始鸡为试验材料,用添加不同剂量的白细胞介素2(IL-2)佐剂的鸡志贺氏菌苗对试验鸡进行分组免疫,应用免疫组织化学技术,通过Owin图像处理系统对鸡十二指肠内分泌型免疫球蛋白A(SIgA)阳性细胞反其分泌物的分布和阳性面积进行系统分析.结果表明,SIgA阳性细胞主要分布于十二指肠肠黏膜的固有膜及肠腺腔中,在志贺菌组中添加IL-2能够提高SIgA细胞的分泌,从而提高动物体的免疫能力,且以IL-2的添加剂量在50μg时对增加志贺菌苗的免疫性效果最佳.

Trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction in New World camelids

OBJECTIVE: To describe clinical findings, surgical treatment, and outcome associated with trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction in New World camelids. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: Alpacas (7) and 1 llama. METHODS: Historical and clinical data were obtained from the medical records of New World camelids with a diagnosis of trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction confirmed by surgical exploration or necropsy. RESULTS: Seven camelids were <1 year old. Abnormal clinical findings included anorexia, reduced fecal output, recumbency, colic, abdominal distension, regurgitation, decreased serum chloride concentration, increased serum bicarbonate concentration, and/or elevated first gastric compartment chloride concentration. Survey abdominal radiographs obtained (4 animals) revealed gastric distension (4) and/or visualization of the obstruction (2). Diagnosis was confirmed at necropsy (1) or surgery (7). Right paracostal celiotomy was performed on all animals and duodenotomy (3) or retropulsion of the trichophytobezoar combined with third compartment gastrotomy (4) was used to remove the obstruction. Six animals survived to discharge and 5 were healthy at follow-up, 8-20 months later. The remaining discharged alpaca was healthy at 12 months but subsequently died of unrelated causes. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnosis of trichophytobezoar duodenal obstruction should be considered in juvenile New World camelids with abdominal distension and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Right paracostal celiotomy can be used for access to the descending duodenum and third gastric compartment for surgical relief of obstruction. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Duodenal obstruction from bezoars should be considered in New World camelids <1year of age with abdominal distension and hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. Surgical relief of the obstruction by right paracostal celiotomy has a good prognosis.     

In vitro response to noradrenaline of small intestine taken from normal and grass sickness-affected horses

Small intestine was taken from the caudal flexure of the duodenum and the terminal ileum proximal to the ileocaecal fold of 25 horses, 9 with acute grass sickness (AGS), 12 with subacute grass sickness (SAGS) and 12 with chronic grass sickness (CGS). The motility in the samples was measured isometrically either within 1 h of death or after storage for 24 h at 4°C.In control tissue, noradrenaline produced contractions of muscle strips which did not involve a muscarinic cholinergic mechanism and which were unaffected by the 1 antagonist prazosin but were blocked by the 2 antagonist yohimbine. Pretreatment with the antagonist phentolamine prevented the contractile response to noradrenaline and the background contractions either continued at a reduced rate and amplitude or were abolished after a few minutes. Thus, following blockade, noradrenaline reduced the background contraction rate by an effect on inhibitory adrenoceptors. The rate of background contractions in duodenal preparations was significantly greater than that in control ileal preparations.Although cold storage for 24 h caused a reduction in the background contraction rates of the control preparations, there was no effect on the contractile responses to noradrenaline, the associated pharmacology being similar to that of fresh tissue. This suggests that noradrenaline-evoked contraction was not dependent on enteric neural elements.The response to noradrenaline by grass sickness-affected tissue was generally similar to that of tissue from control horses, with an immediate contraction which was 2 sensitive. The contractile response to noradrenaline after propranolol was significantly reduced in the CGS group and there were significant differences between the AGS, CGS and control groups. There was a significant difference between the ileal preparations from the control and SAGS groups in their response to noradrenaline following pretreatment with propranolol.     

鸡十二指肠中T淋巴细胞及其亚群发育的研究

通过免疫组织化学法,应用CD3、CD4和CD8单克隆抗体研究了CD3+T淋巴细胞及CD4+和CD8+T淋巴细胞亚群在鸡盲肠扁桃体中的出现、迁移、组织定位分布及数量变化规律等一系列发育过程。结果显示:CD3+、CD8+T淋巴细胞最初于11胚龄时出现,而CD4+T淋巴细胞在15胚龄时出现。在定位分布变化上,CD3+主要分布在黏膜上皮中,CD4+主要分布在黏膜固有层中,CD8+在黏膜固有层和黏膜上皮内都有大量分布。在数量变化上,1～7日龄雏鸡各种阳性细胞的数量都骤然增加;而到7日龄时,雏鸡CD3+淋巴细胞的数量明显减少,CD4+、CD8+T细胞的数量无明显变化;从21日龄开始直到35日龄,雏鸡CD3+、CD4+和CD8+T淋巴细胞的数量持续增加。试验证明,鸡在出壳后初期十二指肠的细胞免疫功能增强。
