桔园柿广翅蜡蝉卵块空间分布图式

柿广翅蜡蝉在某些柑桔产区新上升为主要害虫。我们于1986年7月间在宜昌柑桔产区对其卵块分布图式进行了调查,通过10组资料分析,得如下结果:(1)由比较频次法测得卵块在桔园呈负二项或截尾负二项分布。(2)由聚集强度测定方法测得卵块在桔园呈聚集分布图式,其分布的基本成份是疏松的个体群,个体群的分布是聚集的,个体内的分布是随机的。(3)由 IwaoM~*指标法求得个体群大小为1～3株(10组资料平均为1.7株)桔树所占面积。(4)由 Blackich 的λ值测得,卵块密度大于6的9组资料其聚集是由于卵块自身聚集行为习性造成(由成虫产卵行为决定),或某些环境因子作用引起。而有一组密度为2.4的资料,其聚集可能完全由于某些环境条件的作用而引起。     

Evaluation of use of progesterone to counteract zearalenone toxicosis during early pregnancy in gilts.

It has been shown that zearalenone disrupts early pregnancy in swine without altering intrauterine content of estradiol 17 beta or progesterone, embryo migration, or estradiol-17 beta synthesis by blastocysts. However, serum concentrations of progesterone were reduced 2 to 3 weeks after mating in gilts that ingested zearalenone. Therefore, progesterone was administered to gilts during early pregnancy to determine whether it could counteract the detrimental actions of zearalenone on embryonic development. Thirty-two crossbred gilts (Hampshire x Chester White x Yorkshire x Duroc) were assigned randomly to a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement of treatments: zearalenone (Z); zearalenone plus progesterone (ZP); progesterone (P); or control (C). From postmating days 4 to 15, Z- and ZP-treated gilts were fed 1 mg of Z/kg of body weight, and P-treated and C gilts were fed ethanol as vehicle in a corn-soybean diet. On postmating days 3 to 15, P- and ZP-treated gilts were injected IM with 100 mg of progesterone, and C and Z-treated gilts were injected with progesterone carrier (15% ethanol, 15% benzyl alcohol, 70% propylene glycol). Blood was collected from gilts by puncture of the jugular vein daily from days 3 to 15, on alternate days from days 17 to 31, and then twice weekly until the end of the experiment. Fetal development was assessed in Z- and ZP-treated gilts on postmating day 47.6 +/- 2.9 by cesarean section and in P-treated and C gilts at slaughter on postmating days 51.2 +/- 3.2. Serum concentrations of progesterone in P-treated gilts were greater on days 7 to 8, 10 to 15, 17, and 19 than in C gilts. Serum concentrations of progesterone were greater on days 8, 10, and 12 in ZP-treated than in C gilts. However, serum concentrations of progesterone were lower in ZP-treated gilts than in C gilts on postmating days 19 to 31.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Alteration of serum interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α after ischemic stimulation of coronary artery in PTCA

AIM: Inflammatory responses play an important role in the post- percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) restenosis and has been demonstrated occuring immediately after PTCA. Interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) are the main inflammatory cytokines. We try to compare the changes in interleukin-6(IL-6) and TNF-α after PTCA in the patients with and without collateral circulation to probe into the pathogenesis of early inflammatory response. METHODS: The extent of myocardial ischemia induced by balloon inflation was quantified by a scoring system referring to the Leaman coronary score. The IL-6、TNF-α levels of coronary heart disease group and control group before and after PTCA are calculated. RESULTS: The concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α were (9.592±1.847) ng/L and (26.959±1.967) ng/L, respectively, and were significantly increased 4 hours after PTCA. CONCLUSION: IL-6 and TNF-α are sensitive indicators of the early inflammatory response after PTCA. Ischemia scores reflected the extent of ischemia reperfusion injury during PTCA. Collateral circulation decreased the early inflammatory response after PTCA.

Necrotic Enteritis in Broiler Chickens I. A Review of the Literature and the Prevalence of the Disease in Ontario

The available literature on necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens is reviewed.

The records of three poultry diagnostic laboratories in Ontario were examined for the years 1969, 1970 and 1971. During this period 855 (7.7%) of 11,076 consignments of broiler chickens examined were diagnosed as necrotic enteritis. The condition was most common in broilers at three weeks of age, with 66% of all cases occurring in chickens between two and four and one half weeks. The disease occurred throughout the year but it was most common during July, August, September and October. Necrotic enteritis often occurred more than once per year on a farm.
