带拉杆的U形壳槽槽身横向内力计算有关问题的分析

在U形壳槽横向内力计算中,若不考虑槽底局部加厚对Φ=90°截面内力的影响,则计算所得的该截面弯矩绝对值偏小.温度变化对截面内力的影响较大,特别是温降引起多数截面的弯矩增加,而轴向力减少;温升引起Φ=90°截面弯矩与轴向拉力均增加,再考虑槽底局部加厚的影响,弯矩值还要增加.槽底局部加厚与温度变化的作用均不能忽略不计,否则,内力计算成果值会偏于不安全.用结构力学方法,推导出二者对内力影响的计算公式,并附有应用的算例.     

Fate of conceptus and corpus luteum after induced embryonic loss in heifers

Ultrasonography was performed to determine the fate of the conceptus and the corpus luteum after induced embryonic loss in heifers. When embryonic loss was induced by administration of prostaglandin F2 alpha (25 mg, IM) on day 28 (n = 10) or day 42 (n = 10), embryonic death occurred 2.3 +/- 0.2 (mean +/- SEM) and 2.6 +/- 0.2 days, respectively, after treatment, and subsequent ovulation occurred 2.4 +/- 0.3 and 2.7 +/- 0.2 days, respectively, after embryonic death. Administration of a mitotic inhibitor (1 mg of colchicine, intrauterine; n = 4) on day 42 resulted in embryonic death in 1.2 +/- 0.2 days and ovulation in 20.8 +/- 3.1 days after embryonic death. Rupture of the amnion on day 42 (n = 3) resulted in immediate death of the embryo and ovulation in 35 +/- 3.5 days. In prostaglandin-treated heifers, area of the corpus luteum decreased (P less than 0.01) between days -2 and -1, relative to day of embryonic death. Volume of uterine contents remained approximately constant for 2 or 3 days after treatment, then decreased greater than 75% between examinations on consecutive days. Embryonic death apparently resulted from luteolysis and was characterized by rapid loss of the conceptus with minimal conceptus degeneration; an intact conceptus was recovered from the vagina of 3 heifers treated on day 42. In heifers treated with colchicine or in which the amnion was ruptured, embryonic death was associated with maintenance of the corpus luteum and prolonged retention of the conceptus, which underwent extensive degeneration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Prevention of Toxoplasma gondii abortion in goats by vaccination with oocysts of Hammondia hammondi

Nineteen does (female goats) were dosed with 500,000 oocytes of Hammondia hammondi prior to breeding. At about 90 days of gestation these, and 18 uninoculated does were challenged with 25,000 Toxoplasma gondii oocysts. The 19 H. hammondi--inoculated does produced 26 live and one dead kid (newborn goat). The 18 does not given H. hammondi produced 12 live and 19 dead kids. However, examination of all of the kids by isolation of T. gondii in mice, serology and histology revealed that they were all infected with T. gondii. Thus, while H. hammondi "vaccination" is protective against the deleterious effects of T. gondii on pregnant does, perhaps by reducing the severity of placental lesions, it does not prevent foetal infection.     

Effect of melengestrol acetate on development of 3-methylindole-induced pulmonary edema and emphysema in sheep.

The involvement of melengestrol acetate (MGA) in susceptibility to developing pulmonary edema and emphysema following oral administration of 3-methylindole (3MI) was investigated using 10 Suffolk ewes receiving 0 or 0.15 mg of MGA daily (n = 5). Blood, urine and ruminal fluid were collected immediately prior to 3MI dosing (0.2 g/kg BW) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12 and 24 h (blood); 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 h (urine) and 1, 2, 3 and 12 h (ruminal fluid) afterward. Ewes receiving MGA experienced earlier (P < 0.05) onset of respiratory distress than the control ewes (2.5 vs 4 h), and upon euthanasia at 96 h, their lung weight relative to body weight tended (P < 0.10) to be lower. Ruminal 3MI concentrations did not differ between treatments (P > 0.05). Ewes receiving MGA had higher (P < 0.05) concentrations of 3MI metabolites in plasma prior to dosing than did control ewes, and these values tended to remain higher throughout the sampling period. Immunoreactivity assays indicated more pneumotoxin present in the lungs of MGA-treated ewes than controls. Lung damage was apparently more acute and accelerated in the MGA-treated ewes than in the controls. Urinary 3MI mercapturate concentrations differed (control > MGA-treated, P < 0.05) at 9, 12, and 15 h, but this difference was not apparent when urinary production (as estimated by creatinine concentration) was considered. The implications of these findings for MGA-treated feedlot heifers are currently under investigation.
