猪链球菌2型溶血素基因缺失株构建及其生物学特性分析

猪链球菌溶血素(SLY)是较早确定的猪链球菌毒力因子之一,具有细胞毒性,在猪链球菌致病过程中发挥重要作用。利用同源重组技术成功构建了猪链球菌2型(SS2)sly基因缺失的突变株SS2-Δsly,缺失株的体外溶血活性消失,对小鼠脑血管内皮细胞的细胞毒性显著低于亲本菌株(P<0.01),但不影响猪链球菌2型在巨噬细胞中的存活。该菌株可以用于研究SS2溶血素在感染细胞中的作用机制。     

抗体形成细胞介导的溶血空斑和溶血试验

研究了用绵羊红细胞免疫大鼠，其脾脏中抗体形成细胞中，免疫后第４天平均有８２３个抗体形成细胞。免疫后第３天细胞介导的溶血平均为２２．９９％，免疫后第４天为９２．４５％。讨论了溶血空斑法的条件并与溶血法作了比较。     

坏死梭杆菌白细胞毒素研究进展

坏死梭杆菌白细胞毒素(Lkt)是一组对反刍动物白细胞特别是多形性白细胞(PMNs)有特异性毒性作用的细胞外毒素,被认为是坏死梭杆菌感染动物的主要毒力因子。白细胞毒素的物理稳定性较低,高温或极端pH环境中都能使白细胞毒素活性丧失。研究发现,白细胞毒素开放阅读框(ORF)全长9 726bp,由3个基因(lktB、A和C)组成,结构基因是第2个基因(lktA)。白细胞毒素对白细胞的毒性作用有剂量依赖性,并且溶血活性较低,不能在豚鼠猪皮肤上形成皮肤坏死症状。     

Pulmonary Thromboembolism in 29 Dogs: 1985–1995

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) occurs as a complication to a number of commonly encountered clinical diseases. Antemortem recognition of this life-threatening disorder is hampered by nonspecificity of clinical signs. This retrospective study was performed to analyze clinical features, laboratory findings, imaging abnormalities, and concurrent postmortem diagnoses in 29 dogs with confirmed pulmonary embolism. A variety of clinicopathologic and radiographic abnormalities were noted but there were no pathognomonic findings for PTE. Arterial blood gas analyses were performed in 15 (52%) of 29 dogs; 12 (80%) of 15 exhibited hypoxemia and 15 (100%) of 15 had increased alveolar-arterial oxygen gradients. Response to supplemental O2 was variable and did not correlate with the presence or absence of additional pulmonary pathology on postmortem. At postmortem, 25 (86%) of 29 dogs had grossly visible emboli, 17 (59%) of 29 dogs had multiple disease processes, and 16 (55%) of 29 dogs had additional pulmonary pathology. PTE was suspected antemortem in 11 (38%) of 29 dogs. In dogs with respiratory signs consistent with PTE, the condition was a differential diagnosis in 11 of 17 animals; all had diseases previously reported to be associated with PTE. Neoplasia, systemic bacterial disease, and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia were diagnosed most frequently.     

鳜致病性嗜水气单胞菌GYK1株的鉴定、毒力及溶血性

从患溃疡病的鳜肾脏中分离出一株病原细菌编号为GYK1。此株病菌人工感染鳜、银鲫、剑尾鱼,实验鱼出现出血、肌肉坏死或溃疡症状;腹腔注射攻毒,对鳜、银鲫、剑尾鱼、小鼠的半致死剂量(LD50)分别为8.33×104、1.06×105、1.26×105、1.05×106CFU/g;菌培养液上清能溶解鳜、加洲鲈、银鲫、小鼠、兔、绵羊、人O型血等的红细胞,在绵羊血平板上为β 溶血,不同代次和保存条件的细菌溶血性稳定。细菌在电镜下的形态、生化特性和ID32E系统自动鉴定的结果均符合嗜水气单胞菌的特征;PCR扩增检测到嗜水气单胞菌特异性的毒力基因气溶素基因(aerA)209bp片段,进一步说明此株病原细菌为含有毒力基因的嗜水气单胞菌。实验结果表明,GYK1是一株毒力和溶血性均较强的嗜水气单胞菌。
