This study compared the sensitivity of ECG and cardiac troponins to predict cardiac histopathological changes, clinical severity, and survival in canine babesiosis. One control group (n = 9) and 4 groups of dogs with mild uncomplicated babesiosis (n = 8), severe uncomplicated babesiosis (n = 9), complicated babesiosis (n = 8), and babesiosis and concurrent immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) (n = 9) were studied. A 1-minute lead II ECG was recorded, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and T (cTnT) concentrations in plasma were measured. cTnI concentrations were significantly higher in the complicated (mean, 9.9; SE, +/-5.76) and concurrent IMHA (mean, 6.53; SE, +/-4.32) groups and in the 3 dogs that died of the disease (mean, 22.17; SE, +/-12.85) than in the control dogs (concentration below detection limit of test, -0.3 ng/mL). The 3 nonsurvivors had the most severe cardiac histopathological changes, but no arrhythmia and minimal other ECG changes. Dogs with babesiosis developed a variety of ECG abnormalities, but the abnormalities were not associated with disease severity, outcome, or plasma cardiac troponin concentrations. The exception was the presence of ventricular premature complexes (VPCs), which were associated with high cardiac troponin concentrations. This study showed an association between cTnI concentration and histological changes, clinical severity, and survival and no correlation between ECG abnormalities and histological changes or biochemical evidence of myocardial damage as reflected by cTnI concentrations. From this study, it was concluded that the analysis of plasma cTnI is a feasible and sensitive test and is superior to cTnT in diagnosing cardiac involvement in dogs with babesiosis. 相似文献

The thoracic radiographic changes of Pneumocystis carinii in 7 miniature Dachshunds were reviewed. The dogs were 7–12 months old and presented with polypnea, exercise intolerance and clinical signs suggestive of immune-incompetence. P. carinii pneumonia was diagnosed in all the dogs using transtracheal aspirate cytology and confirmed at postmortem in 3 dogs that died. Radiographically, diffuse pulmonary changes were present and varied from a mild interstitial and bronchial pattern to an alveolar pattern. Radiographic evidence of cor pulmonale was present in 1 dog. The most severe radiographic changes were seen in 2 of the dogs that died. 相似文献

This work has focused on discriminating extra virgin olive oils from Sabina (Lazio, Italy) by olive fruit variety (cultivar). A set of oils from five of the most widespread cultivars (Carboncella, Frantoio, Leccino, Moraiolo, and Pendolino) in this geographical area was analyzed for chemical composition using only the Official Analytical Methods, recognized for the quality control and commercial classification of this product. The obtained data set was converted into a computer-compatible format, and principal component analysis (PCA) and a method based on the Fisher F ratio were used to reduce the number of variables without a significant loss of chemical information. Then, to differentiate these samples, two supervised chemometric procedures were applied to process the experimental data: linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and artificial neural network (ANN) using the back-propagation algorithm. It was found that both of these techniques were able to generalize and correctly predict all of the samples in the test set. However, these results were obtained using 10 variables for LDA and 6 (the major fatty acid percentages, determined by a single gas chromatogram) for ANN, which, in this case, appears to provide a better prediction ability and a simpler chemical analysis. Finally, it is pointed out that, to achieve the correct authentication of all samples, the selected training set must be representative of the whole data set. 相似文献

Hepatoblastomas from B6C3F1 and BALB/c mice were examined by light and electron microscopy and by immunohistochemical reactions for alpha-fetoprotein, keratin, and vimentin. Tumors occurred in one group of a chronic bioassay for the interaction of diet, genetic strain, and the carcinogen, 2-acetylaminofluorene. Tumors had several populations (including epithelial and mesenchymal cells) in various stages of differentiation. Neoplastic epithelial cells had features of embryonal hepatocytes, such as sparse cytoplasmic organelles, absence of glycogen, abundant free ribosomes, occasional bile canaliculi, and peroxisome-like dense bodies. Embryonal fibroblast-like cells had pleomorphic and folded nuclei with prominent perinuclear chromatin and dispersed cytoplasmic organelles. Fibroblast-like cells were surrounded by bundles of collagen fibrils. Intermediate or transitional types of cells were seen. No tumor cells were immunoreactive for mouse alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) antibody, unlike those in hepatocellular adenomas or carcinomas. Epithelial and mesenchymal tumor cells contained intermediate filaments throughout the cytoplasm; some of these cells stained for keratin but not for vimentin. These findings suggest that mouse hepatoblastomas are derived from bipotential liver blastema cells and are composed of a mixture of several cell populations. 相似文献

Thirty-two 3-phenyl-1-monosubstituted(or 1, 1-disubstituted)prop-2-yn-1-ols, mostly with heterocyclic substituents, and four derivatives, were synthesised and tested in vivo against eight fungal plant pathogens of different taxonomic classes. No compound showed a wide spectrum of activity, however, nine of them were effective against Sphaerotheca fuliginea on Cucumis sativus, both in direct protectant tests and in systemic protectant tests by root application. 相似文献

The efficacy of a combination of milbemycin oxime and praziquantel in preventing the establishment of experimentally induced heartworm (Dirofilaria immitis) infection was investigated in a study involving 24 young domestic short-hair cats. The animals were inoculated with 50 infective larvae on day 0. Subsequently they were divided into two groups of 12 animals each. The animals in group 1 were treated once with medicated tablets containing 4 mg milbemycin (minimum dose 2 mg/kg body weight) and 10 mg praziquantel (MILBEMAX) on day 30 after infection. Cats in group 2 received placebo tablets on the same day. On day 183 post-infection a blood sample was taken from each animal before euthanasia and necropsy. The blood samples were tested for the presence of microfilariae and the necropsied animals were examined for the presence of adult worms. Microfilariae were not found in any of the investigated cats. No heartworms were found in the animals in group 1 (treated with medicated tablets). Out of the 12 placebo-treated cats 1 was heartworm-free, whereas all the others were found to be infected with 1-3 adult heartworms. 相似文献

In the present study, acetylation status of histone H4 and methylation status of the lysine 9 residue of histone H3 (H3K9) were assessed by immunofluorescence in order to determine the effect of vitrification on epigenetic status of pig MII oocytes. Hyperacetylation of H4 and dimethylation of H3K9 were assessed in control oocytes, after cryoprotectant treatment and after vitrification at two time points, immediately after warming and after a post-warming incubation for 2?h. While no changes in the immunopositivity for both the epitopes were recorded after cryoprotectants, the percentage of negative oocytes for dimethyl H3K9 was observed to increase immediately after devitrification. The influence of vitrification was more evident after 2?h post-thaw incubation when acetylation status of H4 significantly increased and a rise in the percentages of both oocytes exhibiting strong positivity and negative oocytes for dimethyl H3K9 was observed. In conclusion, acetylation of H4 and methylation of H3K9 are altered by vitrification procedure that may lead to an aberrant epigenetic presentation of female chromatin to the fertilizing event and may be, at least in part, responsible for the reduction of developmental competence of vitrified pig oocytes. 相似文献
