A complication probability planning study to predict the safety of a new protocol for intracranial tumour radiotherapy in dogs

Technical advances make it possible to deliver radiation therapy for canine intracranial tumours in fewer fractions, under the assumption of equivalent tumour control. With the aim of estimating the late toxicity risk profile for various tumour sizes and locations, the present paper evaluates the normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) values for the intracranial organs at risk. By making isoeffect calculations, a new 10‐fraction radiation protocol was developed with the same tumour control probability (TCP) as a currently used 20‐fraction standard protocol, and complication risk profiles for brain, brainstem and optic chiasm were modelled using a representative population of 64 dogs with brain tumours. For >59% of cases, the new 10‐fraction protocol yielded an acceptable, low risk estimate of late toxicity (<10%). Our calculations suggest that it may be safe to treat small to intermediate‐sized tumours that are neither located near the optic chiasm nor at the brainstem with 10 daily fractions of 4.35 Gy.     

丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾的生物活性及田间防治效果

为系统地评价新药剂丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾的生物活性及环境因素对其应用效能的影响,在室内,建立了丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾幼虫的敏感毒力基线,测定了丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾卵的活性,测定了温度、龄期对其生物活性的影响以及对小菜蛾3龄幼虫的持效性,并进行了田间防治试验。结果表明,丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾具有较高的触杀毒力,48hLD50为0.45μg/头。用64mg/L丁烯氟虫腈药液浸渍,对小菜蛾卵的孵化抑制率为46.24%,且初孵幼虫存活率明显降低;丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾1～2龄幼虫的毒力较高,3龄以后随虫龄增大,敏感性降低;温度对丁烯氟虫腈毒力发挥有显著影响,表现明显的正温度系数效应,温度从15℃上升到32℃,毒力增强15.49倍。持效性试验表明,64mg/L丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾3龄幼虫的校正死亡率在84%～95%之间,持效15天以上。田间试验结果表明,丁烯氟虫腈对小菜蛾具有较好防治效果,以5%丁烯氟虫腈乳油1200倍液施药,药后1天防效达76%以上,药后7天在88%以上,与相同用量的同类药剂氟虫腈无差异显著性。     

大豆根缘细胞对Al3+毒害的响应

【目的】研究大豆根缘细胞发育的生物学特性和对Al3+毒害的响应，为提高大豆的耐铝性提供理论依据。【方法】以浙春3号和辽鲜3号为材料，采用悬空气培法，研究大豆根缘细胞产生的数目、活性随根长的变化及Al3+毒胁迫下根缘细胞形成和释放的难易程度。【结果】大豆根冠周围新形成的根缘细胞呈圆形，随着生长逐渐发育成椭圆形或矩形或长条形。当根长为15～25 mm时，根缘细胞数目达最大值，浙春3号约3 000个，辽鲜3号约3 800个。去根缘细胞的大豆分别用100、200、300、400 µmol•L-1 Al3+溶液喷洒根尖，根缘细胞的数目和活性明显低于0 µmol•L-1Al3+溶液喷洒的处理，且Al3+浓度越高，根缘细胞数目和活性下降幅度越大。200 µmol•L-1 Al3+、300 µmol•L-1 Al3+处理4 h，两个大豆品种的PME活性明显升高，400 µmol•L-1Al3+处理后PME活性均有明显下降。这说明高浓度Al3+不利于根缘细胞的形成和释放，降低细胞活性和PME活性，辽鲜3号的根缘细胞对Al3+胁迫反应更为敏感。【结论】Al3+毒害时，维持较高根缘细胞的数目、活性及PME活性是抗性品种耐铝毒的重要途径。

采用半静态法将鲤(Cyprinus carpio)暴露于不同浓度的铜溶液中,研究了铜在鱼体中的吸收富集及毒性。结果表明:铜在鲤肝、肾、鳃和肌肉中的积累量均随着铜浓度的升高而增加。鲤各部位对铜的蓄积能力依次是肝、肾、鳃、肌肉,且肝、肾中铜的积累量明显高于鳃和肌肉,鲤对铜具有较强的蓄积毒性。中毒鱼体色变黑,生长受到抑制,临死前出现神经症状;鳃小片上皮增生、变性、坏死;肝细胞和肾小管上皮细胞空泡变性、溶解性坏死。     

Retrospective evaluation of toceranib phosphate (Palladia®) toxicity in cats

The purpose of this study was to describe the toxicity profile of toceranib phosphate in tumour bearing cats. Medical records were reviewed from seven institutions. Patients with incomplete medical records and those receiving concurrent chemotherapy or NSAIDs (non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory) were excluded. Fifty‐five cats met the inclusion criteria. Carcinoma was diagnosed in 55% of cases. Median oral toceranib dose was 2.7 mg kg^?1 and was most commonly administered on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Thrombocytopenia (16.3%) and neutropenia (9.1%) were the most common haematologic toxicities. Azotemia (14.5%) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations (7.2%) were the most frequently encountered biochemical alterations. Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity was seen in 21.8% of cats, and was lower than previously reported in dogs. The results of this study showed that treatment of cats with toceranib is well‐tolerated and toxicity is uncommon. Additional studies to define a more structured dosing schedule and to evaluate the efficacy of toceranib in the treatment of feline cancers are needed.
