Bacterial Isolates From Plaque and From Blood During and After Routine Dental Procedures in Dogs

Objective — This study evaluates the association between dental procedures and bacteremia in dogs, including a comparison of bacteria isolated from plaque and blood, severity of the bacteremia versus the severity of dental disease, and the longevity of bacteremia.
Study Design — Bacteria cultured from the blood over time were compared with those isolated from the plaque and crevicular fluid and in relation to severity of dental disease.
Animals or Sample Population — Twenty adult greyhounds.
Methods — Blood samples were collected for culture before induction of general anesthesia, immediately after intubation, 20 minutes after initiation of the dental procedure, and at 10-minute intervals until 10 minutes after the dental procedure was completed. Samples of plaque were taken for microbiological culture.
Results — Sixty to ninety percent of the bacterial genera isolated from the plaque were present in the blood. Dogs classified according to severity of dental disease showed no difference in the total number of different species or number of different Gram-negative, Gram-positive, or anaerobic bacteria isolated from plaque or blood (P <.05). Bacteremia was present in all of the dogs studied, within 40 minutes from the initiation of the dental procedure, regardless of the severity of oral disease.
Conclusions — Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and anaerobic bacteria are present in blood during dental procedures; the bacteremia can persist beyond the dental procedure, and is not associated with the severity of dental disease.
Clinical Relevance — The nature and extent of bacteremia occuring during routine dental procedures is important in understanding a potential risk to dogs.

蛋壳颜色和蛋壳强度与蛋各部位钙含量的关系

本文旨在研究新扬州鸡蛋壳颜色和蛋壳强度与蛋各部位钙含量的关系.方法采用QC-SPA蛋壳强度测定仪、蛋壳颜色测定仪及相关仪器测定相同日龄新扬州鸡鸡蛋的蛋壳强度及蛋壳颜色,用乙二胺四乙酸二钠(EDTA)络合滴定快速测钙法,测定不同颜色鸡蛋的不同部位的钙含量.研究结果表明:随着蛋壳颜色加深,蛋壳和蛋白中钙含量增大,但蛋壳强度随之减小;当蛋壳强度为4000～4500g/cm<'2>时,鸡蛋各部位的钙含量均最大.     

Effects of chromium nicotinate on performance, carcase characteristics and blood chemistry of growing turkeys

1. The objective of this trial was to study the effects of chromium nicotinate (Cr) supplementation on the performance, carcase characteristics and blood constituents of 9 to 22 week-old male turkeys. 2. Fifty-four 8-week-old male turkeys weighing 2.9 +/- 0.28 kg were allocated at random into 9 groups with 3 dietary treatments and 3 replicates. The dietary treatment was different dietary concentrations of chromium in the basal diet, to provide 0 (control), 1 or 3 mg/kg. The feeding trial lasted for 14 weeks. 3. Results showed that 1 mg/kg chromium supplementation significantly improved weight gain and food intake at 9 to 18 weeks of age but did not significantly influence performance at 19 to 22 week of age. The breast and thigh muscle were significantly increased in birds receiving 1 mg/kg chromium supplementation but were decreased by 3 mg/kg of supplementation. 4. Dietary chromium supplementation did not significantly influence other serum constituents, including insulin, HDL, VLDL+LDL, HDL-C, VLDL-C+LDL-C, total protein, albumin, and gamma-globulin at 18 and 22 weeks of age. 5. The serum triacylglycerol (TG) and uric acid contents were significantly increased, while glycerol and alpha-globulin were significantly reduced by 3 mg/kg chromium supplementation. However, 1 mg/kg chromium supplementation significantly reduced serum cholesterol and glycerol at 18-weeks old. At 22 weeks of age, 1 mg/kg chromium supplementation significantly increased serum glucose and decreased the uric acid concentration whereas 3 mg/kg chromium supplementation significantly increased the creatinine concentration and decreased beta-globulin concentration.     

非肌肉肌球蛋白Ⅱ型重链A单克隆抗体的制备及其靶位点区域的鉴定

为制备非肌肉肌球蛋白Ⅱ型重链A(NMHC-II A)的单克隆抗体(MAb),本研究将编码NMHC-Ⅱ A羧基端1 651～1 960氨基酸的表达重组质粒转化到大肠杆菌感受态细胞Rosseta中诱导表达,重组蛋白纯化后免疫BALB/c小鼠,分离小鼠脾细胞与SP2/0骨髓瘤细胞用PEG 4000介导融合。ELISA方法检测筛选阳性杂交瘤细胞,制备腹水并纯化MAb,以间接免疫荧光和免疫沉淀方法鉴定MAb的特异性,western blot检测MAb靶位点区域。结果表明,通过筛选得到1株稳定分泌抗体的杂交瘤细胞系,其抗体亚型为IgG1,细胞培养上清和腹水效价分别为1∶2 560和1∶1.0×106;该MAb能够特异性结合相应抗原,并结合Marc-145细胞;western blot结果显示该抗体与NMHC-Ⅱ A的1 812～1 894氨基酸位点结合。该抗体的制备为研究NMHC-Ⅱ A在猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒感染细胞中的作用奠定了基础。

抗精神分裂症药物对吐鲁番斗鸡5-HTT和TPH1基因表达的影响

为探讨不同抗精神分裂症药物对吐鲁番斗鸡攻击行为影响的分子机理,试验将36只斗鸡随机分为12组,并选取利培酮、阿立哌唑、盐酸曲唑酮、盐酸舍曲林4种抗精神分裂症药物,且每种药物设有低剂量组（L）、正常剂量组（N）及高剂量组（H）,每天人工口服给药。分别在第1、2、5、8、11、14天时,翅下静脉采血,并采用实时荧光定量PCR法对口服不同剂量药物的吐鲁番斗鸡各阶段血液中5-羟色胺转运体（5-hydroxy-tryptamine transporter,5-HTT）、色氨酸羟化酶1（tryptophan hydroxylase 1,TPH1）的mRNA表达量进行检测。结果显示,口服4种药物后,利培酮组和阿立哌唑组斗鸡血液中5-HTT、TPH1基因mRNA的表达变化具有相似性,5-HTT基因整体呈下降趋势,TPH1基因均表现为波动性上升,且利培酮组TPH1基因mRNA的表达量及上升幅度高于阿立哌唑组;盐酸曲唑酮组和盐酸舍曲林组5-HTT基因mRNA的表达均从第5天开始呈直线上升,并于第14天达到峰值,且盐酸舍曲林组TPH1基因的表达呈微上调,盐酸曲唑酮组则无明显变化。利培酮组和阿立哌唑组斗鸡攻击行为减弱与其血液中5-HTT基因mRNA的低表达有关,本试验结果为进一步研究药物影响吐鲁番斗鸡攻击行为的分子机理提供了重要参考依据。     

肉仔鸡饲喂枯草芽孢杆菌(Bacillus subtilis)效果的研究

研究了两种不同枯草芽孢杆菌对660只艾维茵肉仔鸡的生产性能和对仔鸡肠道微生物菌群的影响。试验将仔鸡随机分为4组:不饲喂药物添加剂的对照组、添加乳酸—粪链球菌的正对照组及添加不同枯草芽孢杆菌的两个试验组Ⅰ、Ⅱ。 结果表明,添加枯草芽孢杆菌可使三周龄仔鸡体重略高于对照组,但差异不显著。添加枯草芽孢杆菌A16的试验组Ⅱ的饲料转化效率比对照组显著提高(P<0.05);试验组Ⅰ与对照组相比,可显著地增加肠道中有益菌(乳酸杆菌)的数量(P<0.05),减少有害菌(沙门氏菌)的数量(P<0.01),但对大肠杆菌数量的影响不显著。

复合酶制剂的质量评定及合理选择

由于酶制剂能够打破细胞壁,消除一些抗营养因子．提高饲料消化率,改变肠道微生物区系,从而提高动物的生产性能,降低生产成本．给畜牧业带来诸多好处．酶制剂的添加效果日益得到认可,同时面对国际上日益加大禁用抗生素的压力．酶制剂无疑是未来抗生素的替代品之一。近年来,酶制剂在我国发展迅速,生产厂商风起云涌,价格竞相拼杀,产品良莠不齐,国家对酶制剂的一些指标也没有统一的规范．这就给使用者带来很大不便．在选择酶制剂时往往无从下手,为此,本文综述了酶制剂的质量评定并介绍在选择酶制剂时应注意的事项,希望借此能给酶制剂的使用者提供一些参考。
