Vascular ultrasonographic findings in canine patients with clinically diagnosed phlebitis

Peripheral vein phlebitis (inflammation) is a relatively frequent complication in dogs, however, published information on the ultrasonographic characteristics is currently lacking. This prospective, observational study describes the ultrasound (US) characteristics of normal canine cephalic veins, and veins with clinical phlebitis. Correlations among US findings and between US findings versus time that the intravenous catheter was in place were investigated. Safety of the US procedure was evaluated. Fifty patients were prospectively recruited for the study and 18 met the final inclusion criteria. Each patient underwent daily US examinations and was assessed for multiple criteria (vascular wall appearance, compressibility, spontaneity of flow, color fill, and presence/absence of filling defects, flow contour, direction, non‐pulsatility). Characteristics of normal canine cephalic veins were as follows: smooth and thin wall, complete compressibility, no flow disturbances, no filling defects, smooth flow contours, and unidirectional, non‐pulsatile flow with no turbulence. Characteristics of cephalic veins with clinical phlebitis were as follows: wall thickening (83%), decreased compressibility (55%), filling defects consistent with intraluminal thrombus (55%), vessel wall hyperechogenicity (44%), and abnormal color Doppler flow (39%). Significant correlations were found between Doppler filling defects and compressibility, Doppler filling defects and presumed thrombosis, and compressibility and presumed thrombosis (P = .001, P = .001, P = .000, respectively). No correlation was found between the US findings and time the intravenous catheter was in place. Findings indicated that duplex and compressibility US are feasible and safe methods for characterizing and monitoring cephalic veins in dogs with clinical phlebitis.     

Induction of cell proliferation in the rat liver by the short-term administration of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether

In the present study, in continuation of our previous experiment in order to investigate the mode of action (MOA) of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) hepatotumorigenicity in rats, we aimed to examine alterations in cell proliferation, that are induced by short-term administration of ETBE. F344 rats were administered ETBE at doses of 0, and 1,000 mg/kg body weight twice a day by gavage for 3, 10, 17 and 28 days. It was found that the previously observed significant increase of P450 total content and hydroxyl radical levels after 7 days of ETBE administration, and 8-OHdG formation at day 14, accompanied by accumulation of CYP2B1/2B2, CYP3A1/3A2, CYP2C6, CYP2E1 and CYP1A1 and downregulation of DNA oxoguanine glycosylase 1, was preceded by induction of cell proliferation at day 3. Furthermore, we observed an increase in regenerative cell proliferation as a result of ETBE treatment at day 28, followed by induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis by day 14. These results indicated that short-term administration of ETBE led to a significant early increase in cell proliferation activity associated with induction of oxidative stress, and to a regenerative cell proliferation as an adaptive response, which could contribute to the hepatotumorigenicity of ETBE in rats.

植保无人飞机不同施药模式对Y形梨树雾滴沉积分布研究

为了研究油动单旋翼植保无人飞机采用“行间飞”和“Y间飞”2种飞行施药模式对Y形梨园进行喷雾作业后雾滴在Y形梨树冠层中的沉积分布规律,以30 g/L的诱惑红85水溶液为喷雾剂,铜版纸为雾滴收集卡,设计了4种不同作业速度梯度对Y形梨树喷雾效果试验,研究对比了不同飞行速度条件下2种飞行施药模式的雾滴沉积分布情况。试验结果表明：采用“行间飞”飞行施药模式喷雾时,雾滴在Y形梨树主枝外部的沉积密度高于在内部的沉积密度雾滴,且飞行速度为2 m/s和3 m/s时的沉积密度比飞行速度为4 m/s和5 m/s的沉积密度显著偏高。“Y间飞”飞行施药模式下雾滴在Y形梨树冠层不同位置的雾滴沉积分布更均匀。在风速小于1.3 m/s的微风条件下,当使用油动单旋翼植保无人飞机以距离Y形梨树冠层顶部2 m的高度喷雾作业时,应当采用“Y间飞”飞行施药模式,同时飞行速度以2?3 m/s为宜,此时雾滴的沉积密度在冠层内部和外部均大于15个/cm2。研究结果可以为使用植保无人飞机防控梨园病虫害提供喷雾技术依据。

Sebaceous adenitis in the Akita: clinical observations, histopathology and heredity

Ninety-seven pure-bred Akitas were examined clinically and histologically for sebaceous adenitis. The diagnosis was established histologically in 23 Akitas by demonstrating an inflammatory reaction targeted against the sebaceous glands or a reduction in the number of glands. The clinical course of sebaceous adenitis in the Akita was similar to that seen in other breeds. The first skin lesions occurred mainly on the dorsal midline and ears. Compared with the Poodle, the age at first onset of the disease was more variable and the hair loss affected mainly the undercoat. The progression of sebaceous gland destruction varied between dogs and was not seen in all cases. Because bud-like sebaceous gland proliferation could be identified, it seems that regeneration of the sebaceous glands may occur. An autosomal recessive inheritance appears to be possible. Apart from a genetic background, immune-mediated factors possibly influence the onset and course of sebaceous adenitis.     

石墨烯膜不同加温方式对设施高架基质草莓生长结果的影响

为探究石墨烯电热膜不同加温方式对草莓生长和结果的影响,本文以红颜草莓为试材,采用草莓顶部、基质表面和根系周边组合的7种加温方式,以电热线加温为对照,研究了不同石墨烯加温方式对设施高架基质草莓植株、叶片、果实和根系等相关性状的影响。结果表明：石墨烯膜放置草莓根系附近;石墨烯膜放置于根系附近和顶部20cm处组合;石墨烯膜放置于根系附近、基质表面和植株顶部20cm处组合在各个性状表现均优于其他处理,但石墨烯膜放置于根系附近和顶部20cm处组合;石墨烯膜放置于根系附近、基质表面和植株顶部20cm处组合耗电量相对较高,石墨烯膜放置草莓根系附近处理耗电量相对较低,可以作为石墨烯的加温方式进行推广应用。     

EVALUATION OF DIAPHRAGMATIC MOTION IN NORMAL AND DIAPHRAGMATIC PARALYZED DOGS USING M‐MODE ULTRASONOGRAPHY

Diagnosis of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis in dogs is currently based on fluoroscopic detection of unequal movement between the crura. Bilateral paralysis may be more difficult to confirm with fluoroscopy because diaphragmatic movement is sometimes produced by compensatory abdominal muscle contractions. The purpose of this study was to develop a new method to evaluate diaphragmatic movement using M‐mode ultrasonography and to describe findings for normal and diaphragmatic paralyzed dogs. Fifty‐five clinically normal dogs and two dogs with diaphragmatic paralysis were recruited. Thoracic radiographs were acquired for all dogs and fluoroscopy studies were also acquired for clinically affected dogs. Two observers independently measured diaphragmatic direction of motion and amplitude of excursion using M‐mode ultrasonography for dogs meeting study inclusion criteria. Eight of the clinically normal dogs were excluded due to abnormal thoracic radiographic findings. For the remaining normal dogs, the lower limit values of diaphragmatic excursion were 2.85–2.98 mm during normal breathing. One dog with bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis showed paradoxical movement of both crura at the end of inspiration. One dog with unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis had diaphragmatic excursion values of 2.00 ± 0.42 mm on the left side and 4.05 ± 1.48 mm on the right side. The difference between left and right diaphragmatic excursion values was 55%. Findings indicated that M‐mode ultrasonography is a relatively simple and objective method for measuring diaphragmatic movement in dogs. Future studies are needed in a larger number of dogs with diaphragmatic paralysis to determine the diagnostic sensitivity of this promising new technique.

野大麦、羊草的光合和蒸腾作用特性比较及利用方式的研究

在外界适宜的环境条件下设置13个光照梯度,对人工草地上的一年生羊草和一年生野大麦植株叶片进行光模拟实验。实验证明,光照强度的改变对这两种植物叶片的叶温、气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度、蒸腾作用及光合作用等生理指标存在不同的影响。野大麦植株的叶温始终比羊草低,在高光强照射下具有更强的调节叶温的能力,两者叶温最大差值为1.24℃;与羊草相比,光强对野大麦叶片的气孔运动影响较大,其气孔导度与胞间CO2浓度显著高于羊草。野大麦光合速率、日间暗呼吸、蒸腾速率强,用水效率值(WUEph)低。依据测量数据及其它相关指标,提出生产实践中野大麦适于放牧利用,而羊草适于割草利用。
