Squamous cell carcinoma originating from a cutaneous scar in a llama.

A nonhealing wound associated with a laceration in a 12-year-old llama was evaluated. Initial attempts at closure were unsuccessful and biopsy revealed scar tissue. Subsequent biopsies, 18 mo later, revealed squamous cell carcinoma with regional metastasis. This report describes squamous cell carcinoma, secondary to a traumatic wound in a llama.     

盐分浓度对星星草种子萌发的影响

星星草（Ｐｕｃｃｉｎｅｌｌｉａｔｅｎｕｉｆｌｏｒａ）种子经不同浓度ＮａＣｌ溶液处理结果表明；与对照相比，低于０．６ｇ／１００ｍｌ的盐浓度对种子萌发有促进作用；介于０．７ｇ／１００ｍｌ—３．６ｇ／１００ｍｌ间，种子的萌发势和累积发芽率显著下降，但尚不影响其萌发潜势，解除盐分限制后，还可正常萌发；高于３．７ｇ／１００ｍｌ后，不仅抑制种子萌发，并对其萌发潜势有显著影响。

多安酸与无公害水产动物养殖

一、无公害水产动物养殖利国利民 水产养殖业是我国渔业的重要组成部分，水产品是农产品中的重要门类之一。人类的肉食来源于动物，水产品是提供给人类丰富的蛋白质食物。近些年来．随着人们生活水平的提高的需要以及出口的发展，我们国家制定了一系列鼓励发展水产养殖政策，加大科技投入．通过广大科技人员及饲养者（和渔民）共同努力．使水产品生产得到了迅速发展。     

高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒实时荧光定量PCR检测方法的建立

根据GenBank公布的24株高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒毒株和5株PRRSV经典毒株的保守区基因序列,使用PrimerExpress 3.0软件设计并合成实时荧光定量PCR（Real-timeFluorescent Quantitative PCR,Real-time FQ-PCR）用引物和探针,建立了Real-time FQ-PCR检测方法以鉴别检测高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒。用建立的检测方法对已定量的10倍倍比稀释的质粒pGET-258为标准品进行检测,并与常规PCR进行比较。结果显示,该Real-time FQ-PCR方法敏感度可达1.5个拷贝,比常规PCR敏感度高100倍,且批内和批间重复性检测结果的变异系数均小于2%。用该方法与常规PCR方法及病毒分离方法对18份临床样品进行对比检测,显示该方法灵敏度高、成本低,并且能够对样品中病毒进行定量,为高致病性猪繁殖与呼吸综合征的快速鉴别诊断提供了有效的技术手段。     

温度及预处理对苏丹草种子萌发的影响

本实验采用15～30℃和20～30℃2种变温,7℃、10℃、15℃和20℃4种恒温,以及0℃、5℃和10℃3种低温和硝酸钾预处理等技术,测定了苏丹草种子的萌发特性。结果表明:苏丹草种子室内最适萌发温度为20～30℃变温;预处理可破除种子休眠率达71.43～100％,并能提高幼苗的长度和简化活力指数,其中,以10℃低温预处理6天效果最好。建议苏丹草种了早春播种应以地温达15℃以上为宜。     

辽西地区野兔危害情况调查

通过走访、问卷调查和样地调查,对辽西地区野兔危害情况进行了初步调查,并对调查数据进行了统计分析。结果表明：辽西地区野兔主要危害杏树,其次是刺槐、杨树和梨树等;野兔对不同林龄杏树危害差异显著。其中,对3林龄以下杏树危害严重,3林龄以上危害较轻;野兔对不同地区杏树危害程度差异显著,主要表现在对海拔较高降雨较少的地区危害程度较海拔低降雨相对多的地区高。     

Brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) envenomation in small animals

Objective – To provide a comprehensive review of relevant literature regarding the brown recluse spider (BRS) and to define those criteria that must be satisfied before making a diagnosis of brown recluse envenomation.
Etiology – The complex venom of the BRS contains sphingomyelinase D, which is capable of producing all the clinical signs in the human and some animal models.
Diagnosis – There is no current commercially available test. In humans there are many proposed guidelines to achieve a definitive diagnosis; however, there are no established guidelines for veterinary patients.
Therapy – Currently, no consensus exists for treatment of BRS envenomation other than supportive care, which includes rest, thorough cleaning of the site, ice, compression, and elevation.
Prognosis – Prognosis varies based on severity of clinical signs and response to supportive care.     

Potential Iatrogenic Medial Meniscal Damage During Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy

Objective— To evaluate potential iatrogenic medial meniscal (MM) damage during tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) and to establish a safe zone (SZ) for hypodermic needle (HN) identification of the medial aspect of the stifle joint.
Study Design— Prospective cohort.
Animals— Cadaveric canine stifles (n=40).
Methods— HN (20 or 25 G) were inserted through the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the femorotibial joint and through the SZ insertion points. The medial meniscus was inspected for iatrogenic damage. Statistical comparison of MM damage caused by different needle sizes and insertion sites was performed using Fisher's exact test with significance at P <.05.
Results— Twenty-gauge group: 65% of stifles had minor MM damage with MCL insertion compared with 35% of stifles with SZ insertion ( P =.0049). Severe MM damage occurred in 25% of stifles with MCL insertion compared with 0% of stifles with SZ insertion ( P =.0014). Twenty-five-gauge group: 85% of stifles had minor MM damage with MCL insertion compared with 30% after SZ insertion ( P =.0011); however, no severe MM injury was noted.
Conclusions— HN insertion though the MCL can produce iatrogenic damage to the MM. Use of a 25 G HN and SZ site for insertion reduced the frequency and severity of MM damage.
Clinical Relevance— HN insertion into the medial aspect of the femorotibial joint during TPLO can cause gross iatrogenic MM damage, which may contribute to the incidence and misdiagnosis of latent MM injuries after TPLO.
