The Effect of Occlusive and Semi-Occlusive Dressings on the Healing of Acute Full-Thickness Skin Wounds on the Forelimbs of Dogs

This project compared the effects of hydrocolloid (HC) and hydrogel (HG) occlusive dressings and a polyethylene (PE) semi-occlusive dressing on the healing of acute full-thickness skin wounds on the forelimbs of 10 dogs. All treatments resulted in a similar degree of healing at postoperative days 4 and 7. No significant differences existed in the number of wounds that were more than 90% healed at postoperative day 28 between the group treated with the HG dressing and the group treated with the PE dressing. There were significantly fewer wounds more than 90% healed at postoperative day 28 in the group treated with the HC dressing. Wounds under the HG dressing had the largest mean percentage of contraction at postoperative days 21 and 28. Wounds under the HG dressing also had the largest contraction/re-epithelialization ratio (postoperative days 21 and 28) compared with wounds under the PE and HC dressings. Wounds under the PE dressing had a significantly higher mean percentage of re-epithelialization than wounds under both occlusive dressings on postoperative days 14, 21, and 28. Wounds under the two occlusive dressings had exuberant granulation tissue present more often than wounds under the PE dressing. The two occlusive dressings had significantly higher bacterial counts on wounds compared with wounds under the PE dressing; analysis of variance (ANOVA), P = .0008. Wounds under the HC dressing showed the poorest healing in all parameters.     

国内外婴幼儿配方乳粉标示值与实际含量的比较分析

为了解乳粉标签上的信息是否与其内在质量相符,本文对国外品牌和国内品牌的婴幼儿配方乳粉进行了标示值与实际含量的比较分析。结果表明,国外与国内婴幼儿配方乳粉的样品合格率基本持平,品牌合格率则国内婴幼儿配方乳粉较高;主要问题均为维生素指标和矿物质指标的实际含量与标示值不符。此问题应引起国内外乳粉生产企业的重视。     

物联网在猪肉供应链管理中的应用研究

我国是世界第一猪肉生产和消费大国,但生猪产业化程度不高,国际竞争力相对较弱,同时没有建立完善的质量安全体系,生猪价格近年又出现剧烈波动。引入具有实时、准确和共享信息变革的物联网技术,建立具有畅通物流和信息流支撑的猪肉供应链可以有效地解决上述问题。本文对物联网技术在猪肉供应链管理中应用及功能进行分析研究。     

Palmar Digital Neurectomy in Horses 57 Cases (1984–1990)

The medical records of 57 horses that had palmar digital neurectomy performed between 1984 and 1990 were reviewed. Neurectomies were performed either by transection and elec-trocoagulation (47 horses) or by the guillotine technique (10 horses). Middle-aged geldings, Quarter Horses, and Thoroughbreds were significantly over-represented when compared with the hospital population. Horses used as hunter/jumpers also appeared to be over-represented. Complications occurred in 17 (34%) of the 50 horses for which follow-up information was obtained. Recurrence of heel pain was the most common complication (14 horses). Palpable painful neuromas were detected in three horses. One year after neurectomy, 74% of the horses were sound; this decreased to 63% after 2 years.     

细粒棘球绦虫TPx基因的克隆及序列分析

从自然感染病羊肝内收集细粒棘球绦虫（Eg）原头蚴,分别提取总RNA和基因组DNA。根据GenBank数据库中的细粒棘球绦虫硫氧还蛋白过氧化物酶（EgTPx）基因序列设计1对引物,以总RNA为模板,采用RT—PCR技术扩增出EgTPx基因片段,同时以基因组DNA为模板扩增出对应的基因组序列。PCR产物经纯化后连接到pMD18-T载体,转化至大肠杆菌DH5口后,进行序列测定和生物信息学分析。结果表明,成功扩增到中国青海株细粒棘球绦虫EgTPx基因片段,其开放阅读框为582bp,编码193个氨基酸,与已知的EgTPx基因核苷酸序列及其编码蛋白氨基酸序列的同源性均为99％,有3个碱基发生变异,分别在245,306,318位由C变为T;引起1个氨基酸变异,由Ala^82变为Val^82。EgTPx具有典型的2-Cys型过氧化物氧还蛋白催化性位点Cys^48和Cys^169。,以及周围保守的FVCP和VCPA序列。EgTPx基因的开放阅读框对应的基因组序列包含2个外显子和1个69bp的内含子。     

一例非洲狮异氟醚吸入麻醉病例报告

内蒙古呼和浩特市某野生动物园3岁雌性非洲狮产前出现里急后重、外阴流出黏液性分泌物等症状,通过临床、影像学及实验室综合性诊断为胎儿死亡,随即进行外科剖宫产手术。手术过程中对非洲狮采取赛拉嗪镇静、丙泊酚诱导麻醉和异氟醚维持麻醉。手术持续52 min,术中非洲狮体心率、收缩压、血氧饱和度和呼吸等体征控制良好,麻醉保定效果确实,基本满足了手术要求。     

Clinical cytogenetics in equine stud practice: Consideration of the present situation and future application

The situation in Thoroughbred breeding in relation to cytogenetics is considered and it is indicated where screening of horses will be useful in practice. The techniques involved are explained and karyotypes are illustrated. The present state of knowledge in horse cytogenetics is reviewed. The types of abnormality are described in relation to phenotype. Future promise is discussed in relation to the human field, concluding that with the refined methods now available a wider rangeof meaningful aberrations will be uncovered.     

Long‐Term Outcome after Arthroscopic Debridement of Distal Phalanx Extensor Process Fragmentation in 13 Horses

Objective— To report long-term outcome after arthroscopic removal of fragmentation of the extensor process of the distal phalanx in horses.
Study Design— Case series.
Animals— Adult horses (n=13).
Methods— Medical records (2003–2004) of horses that had arthroscopic debridement of fragmentation of the extensor process of the distal phalanx were reviewed. Inclusion criteria included: lameness localized to the foot, fragmentation of the extensor process of the distal phalanx debrided arthroscopically, and a follow-up period of ≥4 years.
Results— Of the 13 horses, lameness was resolved in 11 (85%) initially but distal interphalangeal joint pain recurred in 2 (15%) within 1 year of surgery. Three (23%) other horses were retired because of lameness at other sites during the follow-up period resulting in 46% (6/13) being not lame and in full work after 4 years. Substantial changes were identified at surgery in the contralateral joint of 7 horses, even when fragments were only present unilaterally.
Conclusions— Arthroscopic debridement of fragmentation of the extensor process of the forelimb distal phalanx has a good short-term prognosis for resolution of lameness and return to work but a more guarded prognosis for long-term soundness.
Clinical Relevance— These results allow for more accurate prognostication preoperatively and may support early debridement of fragmentation of the extensor process of the distal phalanx.
