Teratogenic effects of chronic ingestion of high levels of vitamin A in cats

High concentrations of retinoids occur in some commercial cat food formulations as a result of the use of animal liver as an ingredient. Our objective was to study the teratogenic potential of dietary vitamin A in cats. We investigated the incidence of birth defects in kittens of queens given diets with retinyl acetate concentrations of 6000, 306000, or 606000 retinol equivalents (RE)/kg diet (control, 306K, or 606K groups, respectively) for approximately 3 years [1 RE=1 micro g retinol=3.3 International Units (IU)]. Each group comprised 12-15 age-matched, nulliparous domestic short-haired queens that were exposed to toms. There were a total of 396 kittens born in 97 litters. Pregnancy rate, number of kittens per gestation and gestations per year were not significantly different among treatment groups. A total of 2, 5 and 11 malformed kittens occurred in the control, 306K and 606K groups, respectively. Malformations included cleft palate, cranioschisis, foreshortened mandible, stenotic colon, enlarged heart and agenesis of the spinal cord and small intestine, which are typical foetal defects consistent with ingestion of excess retinoids in other species. This study demonstrated that a concentration of 306000 RE/kg diet has a potential for causing birth defects in the kittens.     

电解多维对缓解断奶仔猪转群应激的探讨

目前，规模化养猪场一般采取２８－３５日龄的仔猪早期断奶，在很大程度上提高了母猪的生产力及饲料的利用率，提高了猪场的经济，但随着仔猪断奶日龄的提高，也出现了许多生产上的问题，其中较为普遍而且影响较为严重的就是仔猪断奶后的转群应激。 在生产实践中，我们已克服了仔猪断奶应激，通过半年多的反复对比试验发现，在断奶仔猪转群后的３ｄ－５ｄ天内，饲料中添加一定量的电解多维，对缓解断奶仔猪因转群造成的食欲不振、消化不良、腹泻、膘情下降、抗病力减弱等不良反应均能起到满意的效果。１材料与方法１．１电解多维山东省明发…     

Comparison of two real-time RT-PCR assays for differentiation of C-strain vaccinated from classical swine fever infected pigs and wild boars

Classical swine fever is one of the most important infectious diseases for the pig industry worldwide due to its economic impact. Vaccination is an effective means to control disease, however within the EU its regular use is banned owing to the inability to differentiate infected and vaccinated animals, the so called DIVA principle. This inability complicates monitoring of disease and stops international trade thereby limiting use of the vaccine in many regions. The C-strain vaccine is safe to use and gives good protection. It is licensed for emergency vaccination in the EU in event of an outbreak. Two genetic assays that can distinguish between wild type virus and C-strain vaccines have recently been developed. Here the results from a comparison of these two real-time RT-PCR assays in an interlaboratory exercise are presented. Both assays showed similar performance.     

杀菌剂对玉米穗腐病菌的毒力及毒素产生的影响

为筛选防治玉米穗腐病同时减少病原菌毒素积累的化学药剂,采用菌丝生长速率法、涂布平板法分别测定了4种药剂多菌灵、百菌清、吡唑醚菌酯和氰烯菌酯对玉米穗腐病的3种主要致病镰孢菌拟轮生镰孢菌、层出镰孢菌和禾谷镰孢菌菌丝生长和孢子萌发的影响,并采用高效液相色谱法测定了4种药剂对其毒素积累的影响。结果表明:层出镰孢菌菌株127-1和禾谷镰孢菌菌株125-3的最佳产毒时间为第10天。供试4种药剂对3种镰孢菌菌丝生长的EC50值范围为0.18~5.71μg/m L,对孢子萌发的EC50值范围为0.02~8.14μg/m L,均表现出一定的抑制作用。但对3种镰孢菌产伏马毒素、玉米赤霉烯酮和脱氧雪腐镰孢菌烯醇的影响不尽相同,吡唑醚菌酯浓度在1~500μg/m L时能够抑制拟轮生镰孢菌和层出镰孢菌产生伏马毒素,氰烯菌酯能够在0.05~0.8μg/m L浓度范围内显著抑制禾谷镰孢菌产生玉米赤霉烯酮,当多菌灵浓度为0.05~0.5μg/m L时,几乎可以完全抑制禾谷镰孢菌产生脱氧雪腐镰孢菌烯醇。     

分娩发动前后外周血和胎盘中人类白细胞抗原G1的变化及其意义

目的研究足月妊娠分娩发动前后外周血和胎盘局部人类白细胞抗原G1(HLA-G1)变化并探讨其在分娩发动中的作用。方法应用ELLISA方法检测孕晚期未临产组(剖宫产组)和临产组外周血中人类白细胞抗原G1(sHLA-G1)浓度,并通过RT-PCR法比较两组胎盘组织中HLA-G1mRNA水平。结果与未临产组相比,临产组血浆中sHLA-G1表达强度明显下降,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01),临产组胎盘局部中HLA-G1 mRNA数量也明显低于孕晚期未临产组(P<0.01)。结论分娩发动时胎盘合成和分泌HLA-G1减少导致局部和外周血中sHLA-G1下降,可能激活多种免疫细胞并调节免疫细胞分泌细胞因子,导致循环及胎盘局部各种炎性细胞因子释放增加,使母胎界面细胞因子分泌增加,从而参加了分娩。     

河北省奶牛牛病毒性腹泻/粘膜病病毒的分离鉴定

从河北省某规模化奶牛场牛病毒性腹泻/粘膜病(BVD/MD)疑似病例中采集病料,将处理好的病料接种MDBK细胞,盲传9代,得到了不产生细胞病变的病毒。琼脂扩散试验表明本病毒能与牛病毒性腹泻病毒(BVDV)OregonC24标准阳性血清反应,出现沉淀线;细胞培养物用BVD/MD荧光抗体染色检测,可见到荧光着染的特异性细胞,荧光颗粒出现于胞浆中。双抗体夹心ELISA检测病毒抗原结果BVDVOregonC24VP/N为3.141,分离毒P/N为3.012,P/N>2,与BVDVOregonC24V结果一致;电镜观察到圆形、直径为40～60nm,有囊膜,囊膜表面有突起的病毒粒子,与BVDV颗粒基本一致。经RT-CR检测,扩增出了唯一的315bp的目的条带,进一步证实为牛病毒性腹泻/粘膜病病毒。
