力克斯兔适宜取皮时间的研究

采用４月龄、６月龄力克斯兔,分别屠宰取皮,对其胴体、毛皮进行测定,结果表明：Ⅰ组（４月龄组）的日增重高于Ⅱ组（６月龄组）,料肉比好于Ⅱ组,但毛纤维的强度、伸度及皮板的面积和厚度都不及Ⅱ组,上述指标两组间均存在极显著的差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。综合考虑肉、皮的商品价值及饲料消耗等因素,确认６月龄为适宜的取皮时间,此时取皮所获得的经济效益较高。     

Single-dose pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline and penicillin G in tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii)

McLelland, D.J., Barker, I.K., Crawshaw, G., Hinds, L.A., Spilsbury, L., Johnson, R. Single‐dose pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline and penicillin G in tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii). J. vet. Pharmacol. Therap. 34 , 160–167. The pharmacokinetics of oxytetracycline and penicillin G was investigated in tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii). Groups of eight healthy tammar wallabies were administered i.v. oxytetracycline hydrochloride (40 mg/kg), i.m. long‐acting‐oxytetracycline (20 mg/kg), i.v. sodium penicillin G (30 mg/kg), or i.m. procaine/benzathine penicillin G (30 mg/kg). Plasma concentrations of oxytetracycline were determined using high‐performance liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic parameters were comparable to those reported for eutherians of equivalent size and suggest that the practice of adjusting allometrically scaled doses to account for the lower metabolic rate of marsupials may not be valid. Long‐acting oxytetracycline and penicillin G both demonstrated depot effects. However, the plasma concentrations achieved question the therapeutic efficacy of the long‐acting preparations.

羊踯躅等6种中药对钉螺与血吸虫毛蚴杀灭效果观察

目的：研究羊踯躅、羊蹄、毛茛、苦楝子、田皂角、益母草6种中药的不同浓度混合液对钉螺及日本血吸虫毛蚴的杀灭作用。结果：该6种中药的浸煮液均有杀灭钉螺及血吸虫毛蚴的作用,其中羊踯躅杀灭钉螺效果极显著（P〈0.01）,羊蹄杀灭钉螺效果显著（P〈0.05）,且对水生生物影响较小。结论：中药羊踯躅与羊蹄均可以作为钉螺与血吸虫毛蚴的抑制剂。     

Local interleukin-2 and interleukin-12 therapy of bovine ocular squamous cell carcinomas

Interleukin-2 and interleukin-12 have been used independently to successfully treat the induced and the spontaneous tumours in animals. This trial was done to determine if a combination of IL-2 and IL-12 in the treatment of spontaneous bovine ocular squamous cell carcinomas (BOSCC) would be more successful than IL-2 or IL-12 therapy by themselves. For this trial, we selected 25 BOSCC tumours seen on Holstein Fresian cows in Beatrice, Zimbabwe. The cows were randomly assigned to a treatment group of 5 days of IL-2 (200,000 U/day), 5 days of IL-12 (0.5 microg/day) or 5 days of IL-2 (200,000 U/day) and IL-12 (0.5 microg/day). At 20 months after treatment, the IL-2 therapy group had 63% complete regressions; the combination group had 38% complete regressions, which were significantly higher than the IL-12 group, which had 0% complete regressions at 20 months, despite having 29% complete regressions at 6 months. These results show that IL-2 therapy by itself and in combination with IL-12 is more successful than IL-12 by itself. However, combination therapy does not improve the outcome in comparison to IL-2 as a single therapy. It also proves that IL-2 is consistently successful in the therapy of BOSCC with over 60% complete regression, which corresponds to a number of other studies we have done on IL-2 therapy of BOSCC [Rutten, V.P.M.G., Klein, W.R., De Jong, W.A., Misdorp, W., Den Otter, W., Steerenberg, P.A., De Jong, W.H., Ruitenberg, E.J., 1989.
