Agreement between direct, oscillometric and Doppler ultrasound blood pressures using three different cuff positions in anesthetized dogs

ObjectiveTo evaluate the agreement between invasive blood pressure (IBP) and Doppler ultrasound blood pressure (DUBP) using three cuff positions and oscillometric blood pressure (OBP) in anesthetized dogs.Study designProspective study.AnimalsNine adult dogs weighing 14.5–29.5 kg.MethodsThe cuff was placed above and below the tarsus, and above the carpus with the DUBP and above the carpus with the OBP monitor. Based on IBP recorded via a dorsal pedal artery catheter, conditions of low, normal, and high systolic arterial pressures [SAP (mmHg) <90, between 90 and 140, and >140, respectively] were induced by changes in isoflurane concentrations and/or dopamine administration. Mean biases ± 2 SD (limits of agreement) were determined.ResultsAt high blood pressures, regardless of cuff position, SAP determinations with the DUBP underestimated invasive SAP values by more than 20 mmHg in most instances. With the DUBP, cuff placement above the tarsus yielded better agreement with invasive SAP during low blood pressures (0.2 ± 16 mmHg). The OBP underestimated SAP during high blood pressures (?42 ± 42 mmHg) and yielded better agreement with IBP for mean (MAP) and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressure measurements [overall bias: 2 ± 15 mmHg (MAP) and 0.2 ± 16 mmHg (DAP)].ConclusionsAgreement of SAP determinations with the DUBP is poor at SAP > 140 mmHg, regardless of cuff placement. Measurement error of the DUBP with the cuff placed above the tarsus is clinically acceptable during low blood pressures. Agreement of MAP and DAP measurements with this OBP monitor compared with IBP was clinically acceptable over a wide pressure range.Clinical relevanceWith the DUBP device, placing the cuff above the tarsus allows reasonable agreement with IBP obtained via dorsal pedal artery catheterization. Only MAP and DAP provide reasonable estimates of direct blood pressure with the OBP monitor evaluated.     

八点黑獭兔不同发育时期盲肠组织结构变化的研究

为了研究獭兔不同发育时期盲肠组织结构变化特点,总结其发育规律,采用石蜡切片、HE染色技术,对相同条件下饲养的不同生长阶段(出生后1,15,30,60d)獭兔各6只进行解剖,并在显微镜下观察其盲肠组织结构.结果发现,獭兔盲肠黏膜的单层柱状上皮细胞的高度、杯状细胞的体积都随年龄的增长而变大,半环形皱襞间的距离随着年龄的增长逐渐变小,皱襞的长度和体积也随年龄增长有所增加.此外还发现,随年龄的增长八点黑獭兔盲肠蚓突内的淋巴小结数目明显增多,黏膜下层内的淋巴小结和弥散淋巴组织随年龄增长也越来越多,黏膜皱襞变得密集.     

治疗仔猪断奶后腹泻——复合产品是否值得一试

仔猪断奶后腹泻在猪场的发生率很高,这使养猪生产者遭受了严重的经济损失。有机酸可导致胃内pH值下降,不利于致病菌生存。但由于致病菌的固有抵抗力,含有大量游离有机酸的混合物,与植物化学物质和渗透性物质（Biotronic Top3）的联合使用可以更有效地提高动物的生产性能和控制致病菌。     

Transposition of the sacrotuberous ligament for the treatment of coxofemoral luxation in dogs

A surgical technique is described for transposition of the sacrotuberous ligament to replace the teres ligament in the treatment of coxofemoral luxation in dogs. Ten dogs with coxofemoral luxation were treated using this technique and all animals regained full limb function within two months of surgery. It is suggested that the technique could be employed in dogs suffering from all types of hip luxations.     

山东省部分规模猪场非洲猪瘟防控成本与效益调查

为了解山东省规模猪场非洲猪瘟防控成本和效益变化情况,2020年上半年从母猪繁殖性能、育肥猪生产性能、仔猪及饲料购买费用、医疗技术投入费用、防控成本以及收入和利润等方面,对抽检的19家规模养猪场开展问卷调查,并对调查结果分别与2019年和非洲猪瘟疫情发生前年份(以下简称正常年份)进行统计对比.结果显示:2020年上半年规...     

2018年山东省诸城市小反刍兽疫免疫效果横断面调查

为掌握山东省诸城市小反刍兽疫的免疫效果,2018年6月采用横断面研究方法,对该市规模场和自然村（散养户）饲养羊只进行小反刍兽疫免疫效果评估。采用两阶段随机抽样方法,结合部分便利抽样,采集580份羊血清样品进行ELISA 抗体检测。结果显示：合格样品560份,合格率达96.5%;14个规模场均免疫合格,群体合格率达到100%;在抽检的16个自然村中,15个村免疫合格。结果表明,诸城市小反刍兽疫总体免疫效果良好。     

猪蛋白质二硫化物异构酶A4基因克隆及密码子偏好性分析

试验旨在研究猪蛋白质二硫化物异构酶(protein disulfide isomerase A4,PDIA4)基因的密码子使用特性及其与其他物种密码子使用的差异。试验以香猪子宫组织为试验材料,采用RT-PCR方法扩增获得猪PDIA4基因,参考从NCBI数据库中下载的18个不同物种PDIA4基因序列,对猪PDIA4基因的密码子使用特性及其与其他物种密码子的使用差异和进化关系进行分析,同时对猪PDIA4基因与4个模式生物密码子使用偏性进行比较。结果表明,猪PDIA4基因编码区长1 941 bp,共编码646个氨基酸。与NCBI数据库公布的野猪PDIA4基因(GenBank登录号:NM_001267834.1)的相似性达99%。猪PDIA4基因偏好使用G/C结尾的密码子,27种密码子为猪PDIA4基因的偏好密码子(RSCU>1),其中使用频率最高的前3个密码子分别为CTG(RSCU=3.69)、GCC(RSCU=2.31)和CGC(RSCU=2.29)。比较19个物种PDIA4基因发现,不同物种间PDIA4基因的有效密码子数(ENc)、密码子适应指数(CAI)、GC含量以及T、C、A、G、G+C在密码子第3位含量(T3s、C3s、A3s、G3s、GC3s)均存在差异,且密码子偏好以G/C结尾;聚类分析发现,基于CDS序列的系统进化树更符合19个物种的真实分类系统。在密码子使用频率上,猪PDIA4基因与小鼠基因组间密码子使用偏好程度更为接近,故小鼠更适合作为猪PDIA4基因的遗传转化和异源表达的受体系统。
