韩国一次性收获的红椒品种—Saeng-ryeog216

根据栽培面积以及为农民提供的收入而言,红辣椒在韩国一直是仅次于水稻而居第二位的重要农作物。按人均计算,韩国人均年辣椒粉的消费量达2.5kg以上,可能是世界最高记录。辣椒在韩国主要用作泡菜(韩国称之为Kimchi)香辛料和菜肴中的     

我国南方稻区稗草对二氯喹啉酸的抗药性测定

用琼脂法对2000年和2001年采收的29个稗草生态型对二氯喹啉酸的抗性水平进行了测定。结果表明:广东花都稗草对二氯喹啉酸最为敏感,其抑制中浓度IC50是0.148 0 mg/L;湖南安乡稗草对二氯喹啉酸的抗性极为明显,2000年和2001年样本IC50值分别是7.458和13.80 mg/L,其相对抗性比分别为50.4和93.2;2000年采收的湖南常德稗草也对二氯喹啉酸表现出高抗,其相对抗性比值是4.47,黄梅、汉寿、常德(b)、高桥4地稗草也表现出抗性,其相对抗性比值分别为2.37、3.12、2.44和2.20;其他22个稗草生态型对二氯喹啉酸仍未表现出抗性。     

稻瘿蚊综合防治新技术与示范

20世纪80年代后，稻瘿蚊发生危害明显回升，损失相当严重。以大田试验示范为主，系统研究了新耕作条件下稻瘿蚊综合防治，首次总结提出“喷药除草、压低虫源、抓住晚秧、做好测报、挑治本田”的综合防治新技术体系。室内外试验和大田示范表明，应用草甘膦杀死越冬寄主游草，可显著减少虫源基数；灭线磷(商品名益舒宝)、氯唑磷(商品名米乐尔)是防治稻瘿蚊的高效药剂，抗蚊青占品种高抗稻瘿蚊。此外，合理利用杀虫植物、性引诱剂和天敌等亦是防治稻瘿蚊的重要措施。在面积达12．46万hm^2的示范推广实践中，本田防治效果均达80％以上。     

Comparison of the rebound tonometer (TonoVet) with the applanation tonometer (TonoPen XL) in normal Eurasian Eagle owls (Bubo bubo)

OBJECTIVE: To examine the feasibility and accuracy of a handheld rebound tonometer, TonoVet, and to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) readings of the TonoVet with those of an applanation tonometer, TonoPen XL, in normal Eurasian Eagle owls. ANIMALS STUDIED: Ten clinically normal Eurasian Eagle owls (20 eyes). PROCEDURES: Complete ocular examinations, using slit-lamp biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy, were conducted on each raptor. The IOP was measured bilaterally using a rebound tonometer followed by a topical anesthetic agent after 1 min. The TonoPen XL tonometer was applied in both eyes 30 s following topical anesthesia. RESULTS: The mean +/- SD IOP obtained by rebound tonometer was 10.45 +/- 1.64 mmHg (range 7-14 mmHg), and by applanation tonometer was 9.35 +/- 1.81 mmHg (range 6-12 mmHg). There was a significant difference (P = 0.001) in the IOP obtained from both tonometers. The linear regression equation describing the relationship between both devices was y = 0.669x + 4.194 (x = TonoPen XL and y = TonoVet). The determination coefficient (r(2)) was r(2) = 0.550. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that readings from the rebound tonometer significantly overestimated those from the applanation tonometer and that the rebound tonometer was tolerated well because of the rapid and minimal stress-inducing method of tonometry in the Eurasian Eagle owls, even without topical anesthesia. Further studies comparing TonoVet with manometric measurements may be necessary to employ rebound tonometer for routine clinical use in Eurasian Eagle owls.     

Therapeutic trial of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor for dilated cardiomyopathy in three dogs

Three dogs were presented to us for evaluation of cardiac problems. Electrocardiographic recordings revealed severe tachyarrhythmia and atrial fibrillation with ventricular tachycardia in 2 of the 3 dogs. The echocardiographic findings of the 3 dogs revealed markedly decreased fractional shortening and a marked increase in E-point septal separation. Based on the results of electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evaluation, the 3 dogs were diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The dogs were treated with conventional cardiac medication, but cardiac function did not improve and the clinical signs remained. We subsequently attempted treatment with granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF; 10 microg/kg, subcutaneously). The specific purpose of G-CSF therapy for DCM was to improve cardiac function and a significant improvement in cardiac function was confirmed. The three dogs had no treatment side effects. This case report suggests that G-CSF might have therapeutic effects for medically refractory DCM in dogs.
