Destruction of Trichinella spiralis spiralis during the preparation of the "dry cured" pork products proscuitto, proscuittini and Genoa salami

Genoa salami, proscuittini and proscuitto were prepared from pork carcasses that were heavily infected experimentally with Trichinella spiralis spiralis. Genoa salami was prepared with salt concentrations of 2.0%, 2.75% and 3.3%. Proscuitto was prepared by two procedures approved by Agriculture Canada. At various times postpreparation, samples of the various cured products were taken and examined by pepsin digestion and rat bioassay for the presence of viable trichinae. Water activity and pH of the cured meat were also determined. Curing of the various products was shown to destroy the Trichinella larvae. Pepsin digestion revealed that larvae progressively became loosely coiled, uncoiled and more subject to digestion (ghost larvae) during the curing process. Rat bioassay revealed the presence of viable trichinae in the proscuitto prepared using a sodium chloride salt mixture at day 34 but not at day 48 postpreparation. All other bioassays carried out on Genoa salami between 13 and 42 days postpreparation, on proscuittini between days 27 and 69 and on proscuitto between days 34 and 69 were negative for viable trichinae. Under the conditions of this study, preparing Genoa salami with salt concentrations as low as 2% did not appear to affect the destruction of Trichinella larvae.     

果树授粉昆虫——紫壁蜂、凹唇壁蜂生物学研究

紫壁蜂、凹唇壁蜂喜在人工巢管内营巢,在果园中用芦苇管和纸管设巢可回收大量蜂种.它们均为一年一代.卵、幼虫、蛹在巢管内生长发育,成虫羽化后以滞育状态在茧内越冬.早春用0—4℃冰箱冷藏蜂茧,待果树开花前1周左右在园内释放.两种壁蜂访花范围是杏、樱桃、李、桃、梨、苹果等.壁蜂访花采蜜繁衍后代,同时提高了花朵坐果率及果品质量.两种壁蜂访花速度快、工作时间长、授粉能力强,因此成为我国北方果的优良授粉昆虫.     

原发性肾病综合征患者血、尿γ-干扰素的检测及其临床意义

目的：为进一步阐明γ—干扰素(IFN—γ)在原发性肾病综合征(PNS)发生发展中的作用及检测IFN—γ的临床诊断价值。方法：对32例PNS患者及10例正常人血清、尿液IFN—γ的水平进行检测，并结合PNS病理类型及其他临床指标进行分析。结果：系膜增生性肾炎(MesPGN)患者尿IFN—γ水平显著高于正常对照组，而非增生性肾炎组却与对照组差异无显著性；其次，尿IFN—γ水平与尿纤维蛋白(原)降解产物(FDP)浓度呈正相关；但与血肌酐(Ser)、血清肌酐清除率(Ccr)、24h尿蛋白定量(24hUPQ)无相关性。血清IFN—γ水平各组问差别无统计学意义。结论：IFN—γ参与增生型PNS免疫性肾损伤过程，并可能通过局部方式起作用，尿IFN—γ检测有可能作为区分增生性肾炎和非增生性肾炎的指标。     

In vivo kinetic study on uptake and distribution of intramuscular tritium-labeled polysulfated glycosaminoglycan in equine body fluid compartments and articular cartilage in an osteochondrial defect model

The uptake and distribution of intramuscularly (IM) administered tritium-labeled polysulfated glycosaminoglycan (³H-PSGAG) in serum, synovial fluid, and articular cartilage of eight horses was quantitated, and hyaluronic acid (HA) concentration of the middle carpal joint was evaluated in a pharmacokinetic study. A full-thickness articular cartilage defect, created on the distal articular surface of the left radial carpal bone of each horse served as an osteochondral defect model. ³H-PSGAG (500 mg) was injected IM, between 14 and 35 days after creation of the defects. Scintillation analysis of serum and synovial fluid, collected from both middle carpal joints at specific predetermined times up to 96 hours post-injection, revealed mean ³H-PSGAG concentrations peaked at 2 hours post-injection. ³H-PSGAG was detected in cartilage and subchondral bone 96 hours post-injection in samples from all eight horses. There were no statistically significant differences in ³H-PSGAG concentration of synovial fluid or cartilage between cartilage defect and control (right middle carpal) joints.

HA assay of synovial fluid revealed concentrations significantly increased at 24, 48, and 96 hours post-injection in both joints. The concentration nearly doubled 48 hours post-injection. However, no statistically significant differences were found between synovial concentrations of HA in cartilage defect and control joints.

³H-PSGAG administered IM to horses, was distributed in the blood, synovial fluid, and articular cartilage. HA concentrations in synovial fluid increased after IM administration of polysulfated glycosaminoglycan.

In vitro viability of cryopreserved equine embryos following different freezing protocols.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate two freezing protocols and the effect of agar embedding on survival of day 6.5 equine embryos. A total of 133 embryos were used, in one group (n = 51), embryos were first embedded in agar before the freezing protocol was started. A freezing protocol to -30 degrees C or -33 degrees C was used before plunging embryos into liquid nitrogen (LN2). The embryos were thawed in water at 37 degrees C, evaluated and placed in culture. After 24 h culture, the embryos were evaluated for their morphology and development. No differences were observed between embryos plunged at -30 degrees or at -33 degrees C in LN2. The analysis of the morphology and development after thawing showed that the diameter and developmental stage at freezing correlated with embryo survival. Morula and early blastocyst stages of development were associated with better quality after freezing and thawing and had a better potential to survive after in vitro culture (p < 0.05) compared to more advanced stages. The agar failed to protect embryos from zona pellucida damage, but a tendency to prevent rupture was observed in larger embedded embryos.
