COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC QUANTIFICATION OF CANINE ADRENAL GLAND VOLUME AND ATTENUATION

We conducted a retrospective study in presumed normal dogs to determine the adrenal gland attenuation and volume values. Multidetector computer tomography (MDCT 16) analysis of the gland was carried out in 48 adult dogs without evidence of adrenal gland disease that underwent CT examination for acute spinal injuries. The mean nonenhanced attenuation value +/- SD of the left adrenal gland was 36.0 +/- 5.3 HU (range: 22.0-42.0 HU). The mean nonenhanced attenuation value +/- SD of the right gland was 34.3 +/- 7.0 HU (range: 20.4-48.6HU). The mean enhanced attenuation value +/- SD were: left gland 101.5 +/- 10.6HU (range: 86.8-128.0 HU), and right gland 97.4 +/- 12.4 HU (range: 58.9-123.6 HU). The mean CT volume +/- SD were: left gland was 0.60 cm3 (range: 0.20-0.95; SD 0.17), and right gland (0.55cm3, range: 0.22-1.01; SD 0.19). Attenuation values and volume data were related to age, weight, and gender, using ANOVA. There was no statistically significant difference between the left and right side or in adrenal measurements, because of body weight class effects. The animal effect was the most important source of variation for all adrenal measurements. Based on our study, CT is an effective method for assessing adrenal characteristics in the dog. Normative CT data are provided to allow estimation of normal adrenal gland size and volume.

绵羊妊娠识别、建立和维持的信号系统

妊娠的建立和维持归因于胚体的信号和黄体对孕酮的产生,在反刍动物,胚体滋养层分泌的激素抑制子宫内膜产生前列腺素PGF2α。在发情周期的绵羊,孕酮下调子宫内膜腔上皮和子宫腺上皮孕酮受体基因的表达,并伴随着上皮雌激素受体和催产素受体的增加。在催产素的作用下,子宫开始分泌溶黄体作用的前列腺素F2α。在妊娠绵羊,孕体滋养层产生的干扰素可作用于子宫内膜而直接抑制雌激素受体基因和催产素受体基因的转录。孕酮、干扰素、胎盘催乳素和生殖激素共同组成了一个"作用网络"来调节子宫的功能分化和子宫腺的形态发生,从而维持绵羊妊娠。本文综述了绵羊妊娠识别、建立和维持的信号系统。     

活性氧和一氧化氮在植物——病原体互作反应中的作用

植物被病原体感染后，植物体内活性氧产量急剧增加，这一现象被称为氧爆。活性氧族包括如单线态氧1O2、超氧阴离子自由基O2-.、氢过氧自由基HO2·、过氧化氢H2O2、羟自由基·OH等。与ROS关系密切的一氧化氮，属于活性氮族。ROS和NO参与植物生长发育调控和对环境胁迫的应答反应，特别是在对抗外来病原体的入侵的防卫过程中发挥了重要作用。本文主要讨论ROS和NO在植物与病原体相互作用中发挥的作用。

A COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF VOLUME AND X-RAY ATTENUATION OF THE LUNGS OF BEAGLES IN VARIOUS BODY POSITIONS

The influence of body position on volume and x-ray attenuation of the lungs of three Beagles was investigated with computed tomography. In left and right lateral recumbency, the dependent lung had decreased volume and increased x-ray attenuation compared with ventral recumbency. Volume and x-ray attenuation of the nondependent lung, however, were unchanged. In dorsal recumbency, there was a vertical gradient of x-ray attenuation being increased dorsally and decreased ventrally compared with ventral recumbency where regional differences in x-ray attenuation were not found. Results indicate a risk of overlooking a mass in the dependent pulmonary parenchyma of dogs in lateral and dorsal recumbency. Regional differences in x-ray attenuation of the lungs of dogs can be avoided if the radiographs are obtained with the dog in ventral recumbency.     

动物脂肪代谢激素调控分子机理的研究进展

激素对脂肪代谢调节机理的共同特点是一方面通过自身的受体介导，另一方面又通过干扰其它激素的信号传导通路的某个环节来发挥作用。其作用既可从ＤＮＡ水平 上调节相关基因的表达和ｍＲＮＡ水平上调节转录物的稳定性，也可从蛋白质水平上通过磷酸化来调节酶及相关蛋白质的活性。不同水平的调节作贯穿于整个脂肪代谢及其它物质代谢的相互作用之中，也就构成了脂肪代谢研究的独特性和复杂性，及其与其它代谢研究的不可分割性。
