Haematological effects of 2‐phenoxyethanol and etomidate in carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of handling alone versus handling under anaesthesia with 2-phenoxyethanol or etomidate on haematological parameters in carp.Study designProspective, randomized, laboratory experiment.AnimalsSeventy-two juvenile carp (Cyprinus carpio) weighing 35.9 ± 10.4 g were divided into six groups of 12 fish.MethodsEither 2-phenoxyethanol or 2% etomidate were administered to induce deep anaesthesia (0.3 mL L⁻¹ and 0.6 mL L⁻¹, respectively) or deep sedation (0.15 mL L⁻¹ and 0.3 mL L⁻¹, respectively). Fish were handled with and without sedation. Blood was sampled at 1 hour and 1 week post-treatment. Phagocyte oxidative activity [nitrotetrazolium blue reduction test (NBT)] and differential erythrocyte [red blood cell (RBC)] and leukocyte (white blood cell) counts were evaluated.ResultsAt 1 hour after the induction of anaesthesia, haematocrit (Ht) and haemoglobin (Hb) were increased in fish anaesthetized with 2-phenoxyethanol, and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) was increased in fish anaesthetized with etomidate. At 1 week, an increase in RBC, erythroblastosis, erythrocyte damage, lymphopenia, neutrophilia, monocytosis and thrombocytosis occurred in both groups. Red blood parameters did not change 1 hour after handling alone, but after 1 week Ht, Hb and mean cell volume decreased, whereas MCH concentration (MCHC) and abnormal erythrocytes increased. Lymphopenia, neutrophilia, monocytosis, thrombocytosis and a decrease in NBT occurred. Fish handled under sedation showed an increase in Hb and MCHC followed by a decrease at 1 week in Ht, Hb and MCH, erythroblastosis and increased abnormal erythrocytes. Lymphopenia and neutrophilia were less pronounced than in fish handled without sedation, but a decrease in NBT was noted at 1 week post-treatment.Conclusions and clinical relevanceDeep anaesthesia with 2-phenoxyethanol or etomidate induced significant haematological alterations in juvenile carp. Deep sedation reduced the immediate immunosuppressive effects of handling but did not eliminate longterm effects. These anaesthetics should be avoided during experimental procedures involving haematological measurements. In contexts that require the short-term handling of carp, these drugs should be used with caution in view of their possible side effects.     

人工养殖圆口铜鱼头肾组织学特征及操作胁迫对其影响

采用石蜡切片和组织涂片技术,对人工养殖圆口铜鱼(Coreius guichenoti)在正常和操作胁迫下头肾的组织、细胞形态结构及细胞数目进行研究,并探讨了其在操作胁迫后0.1、4、24 h 的变化特征.石蜡切片观察发现,圆口铜鱼头肾实质中无肾单位,主要由淋巴组织、造血组织、血管、肾间组织及黑色素巨噬细胞组成.各组织及细胞结构形态正常,分布规则.在操作胁迫后0.1、4 h 时,头肾中黑色素巨噬细胞数量较正常组显著增多,形成黑色素巨噬细胞中心,同时肾间组织增生,肾间细胞面积、核面积和核直径均有不同程度增大;在操作胁迫后24 h 时,黑色素巨噬细胞数量和肾间细胞面积、核面积、核直径均减小,并均低于正常组.组织涂片观察发现,正常圆口铜鱼头肾中主要有6类细胞:红细胞、淋巴细胞、单核细胞、嗜中性粒细胞、嗜碱性粒细胞、血栓细胞.应激后不规则红细胞增多,红细胞、嗜中性粒细胞数量和嗜碱性粒细胞持续减少;淋巴细胞和单核细胞数量在应激后0.1 h短暂增多,随后持续降低;血栓细胞数量持续增加.研究表明,圆口铜鱼头肾组织和细胞在应激后较短时间(0.1、4 h)内发生显著变化,部分组织的生物功能在24 h 时逐渐恢复正常.本研究可为圆口铜鱼及其他硬骨鱼类头肾的组织学研究、养殖与驯化过程中的健康监测等方面提供参考依据.     

洞庭湖水域不同倍性野生鲫的血液相关特点

对洞庭湖水域野生鲫群体中同时存在的二倍体(2n=100)、三倍体(3n=150±)和四倍体(4n=200)野生鲫血液相关特点进行研究。通过流式细胞仪检测野生鲫倍性,将不同倍性野生鲫进行血细胞涂片观察,使用全自动血液分析仪检测不同倍性野生鲫血红蛋白含量。结果发现,3种不同倍性野生鲫血细胞大小与倍性成正比,且能在三倍体和四倍体野生鲫血细胞中观察到一定数量的由无丝分裂所导致的哑铃型细胞核的存在;同时3种不同倍性野生鲫血红蛋白含量没有明显区别。根据这些结果推测,两种高倍性的野生鲫很可能是通过血细胞的无丝分裂来增加细胞数量,保证其总血红蛋白含量相对稳定,从而进一步保证它们运输氧气的能力。     

The effects of furosemide and pentoxifylline on the flow properties of equine erythrocytes:In vitro studies

The effects of various concentrations of furosemide and pentoxifylline on equine RBCin vitro were evaluated to facilitate better understanding of the potential effects of these drugs on blood flow properties. Furosemide induced increased mean cell volume (MCV), increased RBC potassium concentration, increased whole blood viscosity, and decreased the RBC filtrability. These data indicate that furosemide may block the RBC membrane transport pathways resulting in potassium and water retention. The increase in size and the resultant decrease in the surface-area-to-volume ratio may have caused the impaired RBC filtrability and increased blood viscosity. Pentoxifylline improved RBC filtrability without changing the RBC size or the potassium or chloride concentrations, suggesting that pentoxifylline may increase the deformability of the RBC membrane. The study indicated that pentoxifylline has potential therapeutic applications for improving microvascular blood flow but that furosemide may have adverse effects on blood flow.Abbreviations cP centipoise - EIPH exercise-induced pulmonary haemorrhage - MCV mean cell volume - Na-K-2Cl sodium potassium 2-chloride - PCV packed cell volume - RBC red blood cell     

Hemolytic assay for goat (caprine) and swine (porcine) complement

Optimal conditions for assaying hemolytic complement of goat (caprine) and swine (porcine) sera were determined. Effects of the following were tested: pH, ionic strength, calcium and magnesium ion concentrations, time and temperature of incubation, and ethylenediamine tetracetate concentration. Guinea pig erythrocytes sensitized with goat or cattle antibodies were the most sensitive target cells for goat complement. Sheep and cattle erythrocytes sensitized with rabbit hemolysin were the best target cells for swine complement. Barbital buffer, pH 7.3, ionic strength of 90 nmM relative salt concentration, containing 0.5 mM CaCl2 and 1 mM MgCl2 was the best for swine complement assay. Goat complement lysed best in a barbital buffer, pH 8, ionic strength of 90 to 120 mM of relative salt concentration, in presence of 0.5 mM CaCl2 and 1 mM MgCl2. The optimal incubation temperature was 37 degrees C for both complements. The complement dependent lysis required 75 minutes to reach its maximum. Ethylenediamine tetracetate in 4 mM concentration completely inhibited lysis by both species complements. The CH50 for goat sera varied between 18 and 75 per ml, in swine sera between 75 and 210 per ml.     

Electron microscopic changes in colon in experimental swine dysentery.

Colonic lesions in experimental swine dysentery were studied electron microscopically. Changes indicative of stasis were commonly observed in the microcirculatory vessels of lamina propria. Early lesions in epithelial cells included sparse, short and irregular microvilli, swollen and degenerated mitochondria, and swelling and vesiculation of endoplasmatic reticulum. Numerous large spirochaetes were observed in these locations: a) in the crypts, b) free (i.e. not membrane bound) in cytoplasm of damaged epithelial cells, and c) in cavities, around vessels of lamina propria. It is suggested that stasis, and resultant disturbances in microcirculation in early developmental stages of swine dysentery, may play a pathogenetic role in the development of the necrotic colonic lesions. Finally, it is discussed whether a mechanism related to Sanarelli-Shwartzman reaction is implicated in the development of colonic lesions in swine dysentery.     

Modulation of Na/H antiport in erythrocytes of the teleost fish, Oreochromis mossambicus: effect of vasopressin

The mechanism of modulation of the Na/H antiport was studied in erythrocytes of the tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. Activation of the antiport was determined through measurements of variations of intracellular pH, using a pH-sensitive, intracellular fluorescent probe 2′, 7′-bis (carboxyethyl)-5 (6)-carboxyfluorescein (BCECF). Phorbol ester (5 μM), a stimulator of protein kinase C, activated the antiport resulting in an increase of intracellular pH; a maximum of 0.125 ± 0.027 pH units over basal level (mean ± SD; n = 4–6) was reached in 20 min. The effect was blocked by protein kinase C inhibitors staurosporine and H-7, and also by the antiport inhibitor 5-(ethyl-N-isopropyl) amiloride; this demonstrates that the stimulation of the antiport in tilapia erythrocytes can take place through a protein kinase C-mediated mechanism. Vasopressin, an important osmoregulator hormone in teleosts, was able to activate the Na/H antiport, in a manner similar to phorbol ester, but its effect was only partially sensitive to staurosporine inhibition. Considering that the physiological role of the Na/H exchanger in fish is known to be different from its role in mammalian cells, these results indicate that other signal transduction mechanisms can be involved in the modulation of intracellular pH by vasopressin.

Androgen levels and erythrocytosis in maturing brown trout,Salmo trutta L.

The number of circulating erythrocytes was monitored in two strains of brown trout during the spawning season. Erythrocyte numbers were significantly elevated in mature male fish of both strains compared with mature females or immature fish. This period of erythrocytosis coincided with elevated plasma 11-ketotestosterone levels in mature male fish, was out of phase with the testosterone peak in males and was not observed in females despite high levels of plasma testosterone. The results are discussed with reference to the control of erythropoiesis in higher vertebrates.
