猪瘟病毒石门株在ST细胞连续传代后E0基因变异分析

为了解猪瘟病毒(CSFV)石门(Shimen)株连续传代后变异情况,根据已发表的CSFV E0基因序列(AF092448.2),设计合成引物,以在ST细胞中连续传代培养的CSFV石门株细胞毒总RNA为模板,每5代通过RT-PCR方法扩增病毒的E0基因,测定其核苷酸序列和氨基酸序列,用DNA Star软件分析比较原代、5代、10代、15代、20代、25代接毒细胞中CSFV E0基因的变异性。结果显示,接种病毒第10代的病毒E0基因在630核苷酸位点出现变异,第15代病毒在632核苷酸位点出现变异。本研究通过分子生物学方法发现CSFV Shimen株在ST细胞连续传代过程中E0基因能保持遗传的稳定性。

猪流行性腹泻病毒JX16株的分离鉴定及体外传代对其毒力的影响

2010年中国新出现了以新生仔猪高发病率、高死亡率为主要特征的变异株。为了明确山东地区猪流行性腹泻病毒（porcine epidemic diarrhea virus，PEDV）变异株特征，本试验利用Vero细胞对莒县某猪场的腹泻病料进行了病毒分离和体外传代培养。通过光学显微镜和细胞超薄切片观察、RT-PCR检测、间接免疫荧光试验、S基因序列进化分析、滴度测定和致病力试验进行病毒序列及特征分析，并探究接毒后细胞脱落时间的变化。光学显微镜观察发现，该病毒感染Vero细胞后能引起典型的合胞体病变；细胞超薄切片观察发现，病毒粒子多呈致密核芯，能引起宿主细胞线粒体肿胀，溶解；RT-PCR检测和间接免疫荧光试验结果证实其为PEDV，最终通过测序证实该毒株为变异毒株。体外传代培养至100代过程中，随着病毒代次升高，其对细胞适应性不断增强。接毒后细胞脱落时间由48 h逐渐缩短至17 h，病毒滴度由6代时的10^5.3TCID₅₀/mL逐渐升高至100代的10^7.5TCID₅₀/mL。致病力试验结果显示，病毒毒力随代次升高逐渐下降，40代时对仔猪已无致病力。本试验结果为PEDV突变株致病基因的确定及疫苗的研发奠定了基础。

RETROSPECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING OF FELINE SINONASAL DISEASE IN 62 CATS

Sixty-two cats with sinonasal disease were evaluated with computed tomography. Findings that may lead to a computed tomographic diagnosis of nasal neoplasia versus rhinitis included osteolysis of the paranasal bones, moderate to severe turbinate destruction, lysis of the nasal septum, the presence of a homogenous space occupying mass, and extension of the disease process into the orbit or facial soft tissues. These findings were not pathognomonic for neoplasia and may be associated with severe rhinitis; therefore, nasal biopsy was recommended. When compared with parallel radiographic studies, computed tomography was not more sensitive than radiographs at detecting the presence of nasal cavity abnormalities in cats with referable clinical signs but was more sensitive at localizing these changes and determining the extent of disease.     

Bilateral corneoconjunctival dermoids and nasal choristomas in a calf

A 5-day-old Angus x Hereford calf presented for bilateral haired masses on the eyes and nasolabial planum since birth. The masses were surgically excised from the inferonasal cornea and bulbar conjunctiva of both eyes and the left and right side of the dorsomedial nasolabial planum. Histopathology of the excised tissue confirmed bilateral corneoconjunctival dermoids with ectopic lacrimal glands, and bilateral nasal choristomas and ectopic nasal glandular tissue. Surgery was curative and healing was uneventful. Bilateral ocular dermoids in combination with nasal choristomas and ectopic glandular tissue have not been documented previously in cattle.     

The Elekta Fraxion™ system is not suitable for maxillary fixation in canine conformal radiation therapy techniques

In this prospective, exploratory study, we evaluated the positioning accuracy in a group of 15 dogs undergoing fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for tumors affecting the head, using a modified human maxillary fixation device (Elekta Fraxion? system). Positioning was assessed using on‐board volumetric imaging, with a six‐degrees‐of‐freedom image registration technique. Prior to treatment delivery, CBCT images were obtained and patient alignment was corrected, in both translational and rotational planes, using a six‐degrees‐of‐freedom robotic patient positioning system (HexaPOD Evo RT System). The maximum angular inter‐fraction motions observed were 6.1° (yaw), 10.9° (pitch), and 4.5° (roll). The mean systematic translational errors were 4.7, 2.6, and 2.3 mm, mean random translational errors were 3.0, 2.2, and 2.5 mm, and mean overall translational errors were 2.4, 0.7, and 2.3 mm in the cranial‐caudal, lateral, and dorsal‐ventral directions, respectively. The mean systematic rotational errors were 1.17°, 0.77°, and 1.43°, the mean rotational random errors were 1.65°, 1.46°, and 1.34° and the mean overall rotational errors were 0.56°, 0.22°, and 0.29° in the yaw, pitch, and roll directions, respectively. The mean error of the three‐dimensional vector was 6.9 mm with a standard deviation of 3.8 mm. Ninety‐five percent of the three‐dimensional vectors were <14.8 mm. This study demonstrates that this maxillary fixation device relies on six‐degrees‐of‐freedom registration and an ability to apply corrections using a six‐degrees‐of‐freedom couch for accurate patient positioning and tumor targeting. Its use in conformal radiation therapy in dogs is not recommended.
