2005年12月郑州牧业工程高等专科学校附属兽医院接诊了1例皱胃溃疡伴低血钾综合征的奶牛，该牛同时患有低血钙、酮病等。病情发展中患牛在血钾含量为2.28 mmol/L时四肢无力，卧地不起，通过补钾及综合治疗血钾升至3.45 mmol/L时又能自主站立，对皱胃溃疡采取消炎、抑制胃酸分泌、收敛止血等方法进行治疗。     

Multiple striate keratotomy: a treatment for corneal erosions caused by epithelial basement membrane disease

Objective To study the efficacy of multiple striate keratotomy for the treatment of persistent corneal erosions suspected to be caused by primary corneal epithelial basement membrane disease.
Design A retrospective study.
Animals 16 dogs, three cats and one Australian dingo.
Procedure A technique called multiple striate keratotomy was used to treat twenty animals suffering from persistent corneal erosions.
Results All persistent corneal erosions healed with only one treatment. Most cases healed within 2 weeks. One case developed a second erosion in the same eye but in a different position to the original erosion.
Conclusions Multiple striate keratotomy is a safe, effective and well tolerated technique for the treatment of persistent corneal erosions thought to be caused by corneal epithelial basement membrane disease.     

Preventive effects of Clostridium butyricum on gastric ulceration induced by pylorus ligature in mice

AIM: To investigate the preventive effects of Clostridium butyricum (C. butyricum) on the type of pylorus ligated gastric ulcer (GU) in mice and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: ICR mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham operation group, model group, C. butyricum pretreatment group and omeprazole pretreatment group. Gastric pyloric ligation was adopted to establish GU model in mice. The gastric juice was collected to measure the content of gastric free mucus, the pH of gastric juice and the activity of pepsin. The gastric tissues were collected for routine HE staining to observe the pathological changes. The content of glycogen was detected by PAS staining. The protein expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the gastric mucosa was also assessed by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: The HE and PAS staining showed that the C. butyricum pretreatment obviously attenuated the mucosa lesion induced by ligation. Compared with model group, the pH of gastric juice was significantly raised. The activity of pepsin fell off in C. butyricum group, which was lower than that in omeprazole group. In comparison with model group, the content of gastric free mucus was dramatically increased and PAS staining showed a significant rise in C. butyricum group, but not in omeprazole group. The protein expression of Bax was decreased and the protein expression of Bcl-2 was upgraded in C. butyricum group than those in model group. CONCLUSION: C. butyricum protects gastric mucosa against the challenge of pylorus ligation in mice and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting gastric acid secretion and the activation of pepsin, increasing the production of gastric free mucus, strengthening the expression of bcl-2 gene and inhibiting the expression of bax gene.     

家兔角膜硷烧伤微量元素Zn、Cu含量及角膜胶原代谢变化

选体重2.5kg左右健康家兔48只,随机分为2组。实验组兔(32只)双眼角膜贴附浸有0.5mol/L NaOH液的滤纸50s后致中度碱烧伤,对照组兔(16只)不予处理。观察期间(50d),实验组兔主要呈现间歇性角膜溃疡,其角膜胶原含量和血清游离Hyp含量变化证实,角膜溃疡的发生是由于烧伤后胶原合成减少和分解加强所致;角膜Zn含量与胶原酶活性有内在联系,而Cu含量对胶原酶活性无影响。据胶原分解高峰出现时间,临床应用胶原酶抑制剂的时机宜在烧伤后7d之前。     

Therapy of ocular and visceral leishmaniasis in a cat

An 8-year-old, spayed female Domestic Short-haired cat was referred for further evaluation of chronic lymphocytic-plasmacytic stomatitis and bilateral ocular disease. The cat had been treated with systemic glucocorticoids for several months. Initial ophthalmic examination revealed bilateral deep stromal corneal ulcers, exudative panuveitis and secondary glaucoma. Mature mild neutrophilia and monocytosis were detected on complete blood cell count. Abnormalities in the serum profile were hyperglycemia, mild azotemia, hyperglobulinemia and moderate polyclonal gammapathy. Urinalysis revealed glucosuria without ketonuria. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed and treatment with long-acting insulin was started. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was highly positive for leishmaniasis, and treatment with allopurinol was started. Although specific topical treatment was applied, melting ulcers progressed to corneal perforation and both eyes were enucleated. Ocular histology showed large numbers of intracellular organisms compatible with amastigotes of the genus Leishmania located in the uveal tract, cornea, sclera and retina. Results of inmunohistochemistry staining on ocular samples were positive for Leishmania. Bone marrow cytology demonstrated numerous macrophages with intracytoplasmatic Leishmania. Polymerase chain reaction results on bone marrow for Leishmania were positive. Three weeks later, hypoglycemic episodes permitted withdrawal of the insulin therapy. To the authors' knowledge this is the first case of ocular and visceral leishmaniasis diagnosed in vivo and under systemic treatment in a cat.     

灰额刺尾鱼溃疡病病原分离及鉴定

从灰额刺尾鱼(Acanthurus glaucopareius)体表溃烂处及内脏器官中分离到5株较强致病力的菌株,经过人工感染健康鱼证实该菌株是致病菌。对该病原菌进行了形态、生理生化反应测试,结果显示为溶藻弧菌(Vibrioalginolyticus)。应用细菌16S rDNA的通用引物对该菌基因组DNA进行PCR扩增、克隆测序,得到1条长度为1 392 bp的核苷酸序列,该序列与溶藻弧菌(登录号GQ455008)的16S rDNA基因序列同源性达99%,进一步确定该致病菌为溶藻弧菌。药敏试验结果表明,该菌株对痢特灵、氟哌酸、环丙沙星等药物敏感,对甲氧胺嘧啶、氨苄青霉素、阿米卡星、青霉素等药物耐药。研究亮点:通过系统的病原学试验研究,证实了灰额刺尾鱼溃疡病的病原为溶藻弧菌,并验证了该病原菌的药物敏感性等特性,以及对该病的病症、病因及临床治疗方法进行了分析,这些结论尚属首次报道,为灰额刺尾鱼溃疡病以及其他海水观赏鱼同类疾病的临床诊断和防治技术提供科学依据。     

Conjunctivitis and ulcerative keratitis secondary to conjunctival plant foreign bodies in a herd of alpacas (Lama Pacos)

Purpose To describe six cases of conjunctivitis and ulcerative keratitis secondary to plant foreign bodies from weed‐contaminated grass hay which were lodged within the temporal conjunctival fornix in a herd of alpacas. Methods A total of 21 alpacas from the same farm developed blepharospasm and mucopurulent ocular discharge. Six of the 21 were evaluated at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine within a 2‐week period. The six animals evaluated received an ophthalmic examination including slit‐lamp biomicroscopy, fluorescein staining, and topical corneal anesthesia for foreign body removal when necessary. Results Six animals had conjunctivitis characterized by hyperemia and mucopurulent discharge. Five animals had superficial ulcerative keratitis with intense corneal neovascularization and edema. In all cases, the keratitis was located at the temporal limbus. Seven plant foreign bodies were observed and were removed following topical corneal anesthesia in five animals. The plant seeds were identified as three common weed species found in orchard grass hay. Complete resolution of all clinical signs was achieved with foreign body removal and medical therapy. Conclusions Fan‐shaped temporal corneal ulcers may signify the presence of conjunctival foreign bodies in alpacas. Plant foreign bodies should be considered in addition to ocular infection when multiple animals of a herd are affected as outbreaks may occur with weed‐contaminated hay.     

斑点叉尾鮰暴发性出血溃疡症的病理学研究

【目的】探究两起斑点叉尾鮰Ietalurus punetaus暴发性体表出血溃疡症的发病病因和病理特征。【方法】利用湿片法对鳃组织和体表黏液进行压片,观察寄生虫寄生情况。从发病鱼的肝脏、脾脏和肾脏中分离病原菌,检测细菌感染情况;利用PCR法检测患病斑点叉尾鮰的肝、脾、肾混合组织匀浆中斑点叉尾鮰病毒(Channel catfish virus,CCV)的携带情况。运用组织病理学方法观察病鱼的病理损伤特点,综合分析并推测该病的致病原因。【结果】该出血溃疡症的靶器官主要为脾脏、肾脏、肝胰脏、肠道以及皮肤肌肉。主要表现为严重的血管反应,实质细胞可见肿胀、变性、坏死;而胃、脑和心脏病变较轻,仅有轻微的炎症;鳃丝、眼球和鳔等未见明显病变。所有的患病个体均出现中度至重度出血性坏死性脾炎、中度肾炎、轻度至中度坏死性肝胰腺炎和肠炎。患病斑点叉尾鮰体内未检测到寄生虫、细菌以及CCV。【结论】综合病理学、细菌学和病毒学检测结果,推测此次斑点叉尾鮰暴发性疾病由某种非CCV的病毒感染所致,温度应激可能是引发该病的条件诱因。
