白浆土的氮素分布特征

本文以黑龙江省三江平原耕地白浆土为主要研究对象,并以复区内存在的草甸土和暗棕壤作比较,研究了土壤各种理化性质与不同形态氮素之间的相关关系:白浆土中 HA 和 FA 的主要差别,在于前者含有较多的碱性氨基酸,而后者则含有较多的酸性氨基酸;各种不同形状 N素与土壤 pH 值,质地等相关性不显著,而与土壤有机质、全 N 和 C/N 比值等的相关性极为显著。     

Prevalence and clinical implications of anthelmintic resistance in cyathostomes of horses.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and clinical implications of anthelmintic resistance in cyathostomes of horses. DESIGN: Prospective study. ANIMALS: 80 horses on 10 farms in a 5-county region of northeast Georgia. PROCEDURE: On each farm, horses were stratified in descending order according to pretreatment fecal egg count (FEC), blocked into groups of 4, and then randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups: no treatment (controls), and treatment with pyrantel pamoate, fenbendazole, or ivermectin. Fecal samples were collected 24 hours prior to treatment and 2, 4, and 6 weeks after treatment for determination of FEC. Mean percentage of reduction in FEC was then calculated for each treatment group. For horses from each farm, the efficacy of each anthelmintic was categorized on the basis of mean percentage of reduction in FEC at 2 weeks after treatment (< 80% reduction = ineffective; 80 to 90% reduction = equivocal; and > 90% reduction = effective). RESULTS: Pyrantel pamoate was effective at reducing FEC in horses from 7 farms, ineffective in horses from 2 farms, and equivocal in horses from 1 farm. Fenbendazole was ineffective at reducing FEC in horses from 9 farms and equivocal in horses from 1 farm. Ivermectin was effective at reducing FEC in horses from all 10 farms. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that cyathostome resistance to fenbendazole is highly prevalent, and resistance to pyrantel pamoate is high enough to warrant concern. Resistance to ivermectin was not detected. On the basis of these data, it appears that ivermectin continues to be fully effective in horses. However, too few farms were used in this study to determine the prevalence of cyathostome resistance to ivermectin. Therefore, the efficacy of ivermectin should continue to be monitored closely.     

Maladies de l'eucalyptus1

Les eucalyptus constituent—au moins au meme titre que les genres Pinus et Populus—l'un des genres d'arbres forestiers les plus importants à l'échelle mondiale, et en particulier par l'extension considérable des reboisements (plus de 4 millions d'ha) en régions tropicales, sahéliennes et tempérées chaudes. L'article tente de faire le point sur les problèmes posés par les maladies pouvant gener cet effort de reboisement, notamment en région méditerranéenne, et souligne l'importance et l'avenir des eucalyptus dans cette région. Il est procédéà un inventaire général, à l'échelle mondiale, des maladies des eucalyptus et de l'importance des parasites en cause. Un certain nombre d'entre eux sont étudiés plus en détail, selon qu'ils sont présents dans le pays d'origine des eucalyptus ou dans les zones où ils ont été introduits. Une section est réservée à la région méditerranéenne, où certaines maladies s'en prenant aux racines, aux rameaux, aux feuilles ou au bois ont été identifiées; pour l'instant, la plupart d'entre elles ne sont pas trop graves. Enfin, des propositions et des règles de protection phytosanitaire, visant à restreindre les risques d'introduction des parasites les plus dangereux ou d'extension de ceux existant actuellement, sont citées, en insistant sur les risques de transport de maladies d'une région à une autre par l'intermédiaire des échanges de matériel végétal autres que les graines.     

Inflammatory mammary carcinoma in dogs: 33 cases (1995-1999).

OBJECTIVE: To determine epidemiologic, clinical, and pathologic characteristics of inflammatory mammary carcinoma (IC) in dogs. DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: 33 dogs with IC and 153 dogs with malignant mammary tumors other than IC. PROCEDURES: Medical records were reviewed, and signalment, history, physical examination findings, and results of thoracic radiography and necropsy were obtained. RESULTS: 33 of 436 (7.6%) dogs examined at a veterinary teaching hospital because of dysplasia or tumors of the mammary glands and 33 of 186 (17.7%) dogs with at least 1 malignant tumor had IC. Thirty-two of the 33 dogs were sexually intact. Dogs with IC were significantly older than were dogs with other malignant mammary tumors, and in dogs with IC, the tumor was initially noticed a mean of 52 days after the beginning of the last observed estrus, whereas in dogs with other mammary tumors, the tumor was initially noticed a mean of 137 days after the beginning of the last observed estrus. Dogs with IC were more likely to be anorectic and to have generalized weakness, weight loss, and thoracic metastases. Dogs with IC survived a mean of 25 days with palliative treatment. Histologically, involvement of dermal lymphatic vessels was identified in 14 of 19 (74%) dogs with IC. Two clinical forms of IC (primary and secondary) were identified. Dogs with primary IC had a worse clinical condition. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that IC is an uncommon but distinct entity in dogs. A histologic finding of dermal lymphatic involvement should be considered a hallmark for the pathologic diagnosis of IC in dogs.

The Morphology of 16 and 17 Day Old Bovine Blastocysts from Virgin and Repeat Breeder Heifers

The morphology of 16–17 days old embryos from virgin heifers (VH) and repeat breeder heifers (RBH) was compared using light and electron microscopy. In addition some embryos transferred from one heifer category to the other were studied. Embryos from VH were elongated blastocysts and the oval embryonic disc had three germ layers. The ectoderm was stratified and many mitoses were seen. The endoderm lining the blastocoelic cavity consisted of almost squamous cells conjoined by tight junctions. Between the ectoderm and the endoderm the mesoderm had developed and expanded laterally and the coelom had formed. The trophoblastic cells adjacent do the embryonic disc were cylindrical, whereas those more peripheral located were cuboidal. The trophoblastic cells were conjoined by tight junctions and they had numerous long microvilli on their peripheral surface. Except in the embryonic disc region, the endodermal cells had filopodial processes towards the trophoblast. The embryos from RBH varied in appearance. One was similar to those from VH whereas the others were, more or less retarded, without formation of mesoderm. The smaller one consisted ot trophoblastic cells only. The transferred embryos (representing surviving embryos: 2 out of 9 in VH-RBH and 5 of 6 in RBH-VH) had a morphology similar to that of VH blastocytes two though, appeared somewhat retarded. It is suggested that the retarded embryos lack the ability to complete embryonic development and that the uterine environment of RBH is not favourable to sustain normal embryonic development.     

NAA和几种细胞分裂素对怀山药离体快繁的影响

主要探讨了三种嘌呤型细胞分裂素:呋喃氨基嘌呤(KT)、苄氨基嘌呤(BAP)和异戊烯基腺嘌 呤(2ip),对怀山药的两个品种:淮山药和凤山药离体培养的影响。结果表明:两品种在MS KT2mg/L (单位下同)或2ip培养基上生长情况均较好,当附加NAA0．2时,一般可促进生根;但在培养基上,两 品种差异明显,淮山药表现腋芽生长受抑制,而凤山药则易形成丛生芽,而当此培养基附加NAA0．2 时,NAA与BAP可协同作用促进淮山药的腋芽生长,增加芽苗数,但对凤山药的生长则基本无影响。 通过不同培养基对凤山药快繁效果的比较,筛选出MS KT1 NAA0．2 0．1％活性碳为凤山药快繁较适 宜的培养基。

THE EFFECT OF A COMBINATION OF MEDETOMIDINE-BUTORPHANOL AND MEDETOMIDINE, BUTORPHANOL, ATROPINE ON GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE IN DOGS

The effects of intramuscularly administered medetomidine and butorphanol (MB), and medetomidine, butorphanol, atropine (MBA) on glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were determined in six dogs as measured by 99m-Tc-labeled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) nuclear scintigraphy. Direct systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressures and heart rate were measured at regular time intervals before, during, and after GFR calculations. The mean GFR measurement following MB was significantly greater (4.44 ml/min/kg) than following MBA (3.82 ml/min/kg) or saline treatment (3.41 ml/min/kg). There was no significant difference between the mean GFR measurements following MBA injection and following saline injection. Diastolic and mean arterial pressures following MBA injection were significantly higher than the values recorded after either MB or saline alone. Heart rate following MB administration was significantly lower than that recorded for dogs receiving MBA or saline alone. The results of this study indicate that the administration of medetomidine in combination with butorphanol significantly increases total GFR in healthy dogs, while the administration of the combination of medetomidine, butorphanol, and atropine does not.
