Equine chronic diarrhea: Traditional Chinese veterinary medicine review

Chronic diarrhea is a common problem in equine practice. Herbal medicine has been used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disease in horses for at least one thousand years. In present-day equine practice in China, the most common approach to treat chronic diarrhea is herbal medicine, or a combination of herbal medicine and acupuncture. Three types of chronic diarrhea in horses will be described in detail in term of symptoms, diagnosis and herbal treatments in this paper. Nineteen herbal formulas for treatment of different types of diarrhea will be introduced. Clinical results of each herbal formula will be evaluated. Acupuncture treatment of this problem will also be included.

Multiple amino acid substitutions are involved in the adaptation of H9N2 avian influenza virus to mice

To explore adaptation of avian influenza virus to mice we previously performed serial lung-to-lung passages of the influenza A/Chicken/Jiangsu/7/2002 (H9N2) strain, resulting in the isolation of a variant influenza strain lethal for mice. We now report that virulence correlates with improved growth characteristics on mammalian cells and extended tissue tropism in vivo. Sequencing of the complete genomes of the wild-type and mouse-adapted viruses revealed 25 amino acid substitutions. Some were found to reiterate known substitutions in human and swine H9N2 influenza isolates. Functions affected include nuclear localization signals and sites of protein and RNA interaction, while others are known determinants of pathogenicity and host specificity such as the viral polymerase PB2 E627K substitution. These observations suggest that enhanced growth characteristics and modified cell tropism may contribute to increased virulence in mice. We conclude that multiple amino acid substitutions are likely to be involved in the adaptation of H9N2 avian influenza virus to mice.

为研究我国南方优良地方品种湘西黄牛的肉质特性,选用8头湘西黄牛青年公牛,对肉质中的常规营养成分、氨基酸和脂肪酸进行了测定.结果表明:鲜肉中脂肪含量为4.80％,蛋白质含量为23.21％;饱和脂肪酸(SFA)含量为48.43％,不饱和脂肪酸含量(UFA)为41.00％,不饱和脂肪酸在总脂肪酸(TFA)的比例为45.85％...     

畜禽养殖场环境微生物致病性和耐药性调查研究

为了解掌握养殖场中环境微生物对养殖业和公共卫生造成的影响,初步对我国养殖场环境微生物进行了研究。对吉林、湖北等省份的部分养猪场和养鸡场环境采样,并进行大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌分离鉴定,同时对从鸡舍和猪舍内分离大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌进行动物致病性实验及对13种抗生素的耐药性实验。实验结果表明,所有实验的沙门氏菌和90.7%的大肠杆菌菌株对小白鼠有致病性;所有分离菌株对磺胺类药物的耐药性非常严重,其次是对四环素,对其他药物也有不同程度的耐药性。     

不同激素剂量对幼鼠超数排卵及超排卵质量的影响

应用国产激素制剂对３～８周龄昆明种小白鼠进行了超数排卵处理,重点观察了不同激素剂量对幼龄小鼠的超排效果及超排卵质量的影响。实验结果表明,以ＰＭＳＧ与ｈＣＧ各１０ＩＵ剂量超排３～８周龄小鼠,５周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵８３．８±１０．２个）极显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）好于４～８周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵３９．２～４９．８个）,而３周龄小鼠超排卵受精后体外培养的卵裂率（９７．１％）、桑椹胚率（８６．８％）和囊胚率（６５．１％）与４～８周龄超排卵的（分别为８５．５％～１００．０％、９４．９％～１００．０％和６３．２％～８７．７％）相近;以ＰＭＳＧ与ｈＣＧ各５ＩＵ剂量超排３～５周龄小鼠,３周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵５９．０±６．５个）显著（Ｐ＜０．０５）好于４周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵３１．４±４．９个）,并极显著（Ｐ＜０．０１）好于５周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵２１．４±３．３个）;以ＰＭＳＧ与ｈＣＧ各１５ＩＵ剂量超排３～５周龄小鼠,３周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵４８．６±７．３个）显著（Ｐ＜０．０５）好于５周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵２５．２±５．８个）,也好于４周龄小鼠的超排效果（平均获卵４０．２±５．１个     

不同贮藏条件鸡蛋的脂类过氧化作用

本文以ＴＢＡ光度法分析了不同贮藏条件下鸡蛋脂类的过氧化作用,并分析了温度、氧对过氧化作用的影响。结果表明,在贮藏条件下,鸡蛋蛋黄中伴有明显的脂类过氧化过程。脂类过氧化物（ＬＰＯ）的水平随贮藏时间的延长而不断增加（Ｐ＜０．０１）,但蛋清中的ＬＰＯ在贮藏过程中没有明显的变化。低温和缺氧可明显抑制鸡蛋脂类的过氧化作用（Ｐ＜０．０１）。
