Bilateral renal T-cell lymphoma with hepatic infiltration and secondary polycythemia in a dog: Utility of cytology slides

This is a case of bilateral renal T-cell lymphoma associated with secondary erythrocytosis in a dog. This case is distinctive in using clonality combined with immunocytochemistry to support the diagnosis, thus emphasizing the utility of cytology slides when histology is unavailable. This combination may be a unique canine lymphoma entity.

Surgical management of a pony with a traumatic medial luxation of the patella

This report describes a successful surgical repair of medial patellar luxation in a Miniature Shetland pony where manual reduction of the patella was not possible. The surgical procedure involves transection of the medial femoropatellar ligament to facilitate patellar release, the placement of a prosthetic suture to replace the lateral femoropatellar ligament and reinforcement of the lateral retinaculum by the use of a mesh implant. This is a newly described surgical technique for the rare but recognised condition of a medial luxation of the patella.

The exploitation of the genome in the search for determinants of virulence in Streptococcus uberis

Despite much success in the control of mastitis in dairy cattle, intramammary infection with Streptococcus uberis remains a threat to herd health. This organism is a frequent cause of mastitis worldwide. Recent advances in the ability to genetically manipulate this bacterium, coupled to the determination of a representative genome sequence have already enabled the investigation of certain aspects of disease pathogenesis. Further use of such technology coupled to reliable models of disease and post-genomic analysis will permit the elucidation of further interactions between pathogen and host. This additional information can be usefully targeted at identification of candidates for inclusion in effective vaccines. This communication reviews the current, reported progress using this technology for S. uberis.     

Construction of best confidence intervals for half-lives

This paper presents a method of determining a confidence interval for the drug half-life based on statistical properties of the estimates of the disappearance rate constant of the drug. This interval is shown to be of minimum length which indicates it is a more precise estimate than others currently in use. A computer program to construct these intervals is available upon request.

细菌的凋亡及抗生素对其影响

许多研究表明 ,细菌同其他生物一样 ,其死亡并不是单纯的由于生物学的衰竭而导致的被动过程 ,而是通过有序的可控制的方式激活细胞内的凋亡程序从而导致细胞的死亡。本文以大肠杆菌为例 ,综述了大肠杆菌凋亡的部分机制以及抗生素与凋亡的关系。重点介绍大肠杆菌 maz EF系统控制的细菌凋亡机理 ,以及氯霉素、壮观霉素、利福平等常见抗生素对凋亡的影响 ,并从分子细胞学水平解释其作用机制     

The use of a stifle flexion device to manage avulsion of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle in a cat

This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a traumatic avulsion of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle in a three-and-a-half-year-old male neutered Domestic Shorthaired cat. Surgical repair was achieved using a modified three-loop pulley suture pattern passed through a suture anchor inserted at the point of origin of the tendon and around the fabella. A stifle flexion device was utilised during the postoperative period to protect the repair. Follow-up at five months showed a return to normal function. This is the first report of avulsion of the lateral head of the gastrocnemius in a cat.     

Hygiene practices to prevent the spread of equine influenza by humans

This paper describes a protocol for hygiene practices that was devised by a practice in which all veterinarians were involved on a daily basis in visiting infected premises, including sampling, treatment of clinical cases and general veterinary work. This protocol was strictly followed when attending an infected or at risk property.

牛羊胎儿过大综合征的研究进展

牛、羊的胚胎在囊胚阶段之前,暴露 于各种特殊环境,妊娠后能导致过大胎儿的 产出,并有可能伴随出现胎儿多个器官功能 的缺陷,此称为胎儿过大综合征。最近几年, 全世界范围内在实施胚胎移植、克隆等这些 需要对胚胎进行多种体外操作的项目中,已 有相当数量的过大或畸形胎牛、胎羊出生。 对于某项具体的胚胎工程项目而言,胎儿过 大综合征发生率从0%～100%,这就极大地 限制了胚胎体外生产、核移植等繁育新技术 在畜牧业上的大规模应用。文章从该综合征 的临床表现、产生的原因、发生时间及导致其 发生的分子机制等几个方面,简要综述了近 几年国外有关胎儿过大综合征的研究与报 道。     

Development of a polymerase chain reaction procedure for detection and differentiation of duck and goose circovirus

This article reports the complete nucleotide sequences of four duck circovirus (DuCV) isolates from sick ducks in Taiwan and development of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detection and differentiation of goose circovirus (GoCV) and DuCV. Sequence comparison showed that Taiwanese DuCV isolates had 82.5%-83.8% nucleotide sequence identity to the German and North American DuCV isolates. This is the first report on the presence of DuCV and its associated diseases outside Germany. A PCR test was developed using a universal primer pair based on conserved sequences present in the genomes of GoCV and DuCV. This PCR test could detect and differentiate between GoCV and DuCV by the size of PCR product each virus produced (256 bp for GoCV and 228 bp for DuCV). Application of this PCR test to samples of bursa of Fabricius from sick birds in the field showed that 9 of 26 goose samples contained GoCV, while 13 of 34 duck samples contained DuCV. This PCR test could serve as a fast and sensitive method for detection and differentiation of DuCV and GoCV.     

Surface Temperatures of Avian Osteopetrotic Bones

Body temperatures and surface temperatures of metatarsal bones were recorded in normal and osteopetrotic chickens. Osteopetrotic lesions were 6.5 F warmer than normal bones but there was no corresponding increase in body temperature at a given environmental temperature. This indicates that the temperature elevation in the osteopetrotic lesion is a local phenomenon and not a systemic response. This also supports earlier observations that osteopetrotic bones feel warmer to the touch than normal bones.
