OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between myocardial performance index (MPI; also known as the Tei index) and cardiac function in anesthetized cats administered dobutamine. ANIMALS: 6 adult cats. PROCEDURES: Cats were anesthetized by administration of propofol (6 mg/kg, IV), and anesthesia was maintained by administration of isoflurane. Heart rate and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) were monitored. Stroke volume, cardiac output, and aortic blood flow (ABF) were measured by use of transesophageal ultrasonography. Left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), mitral E-wave velocity-to-A-wave velocity (E:A) ratio, and ejection time were measured by use of transthoracic echocardiography. Dobutamine was administrated via a cephalic vein at rates of 2.5, 5.0, and 10 microg/kg/min. RESULTS: Heart rate, SAP, cardiac output, and ABF increased with dobutamine administration, whereas stroke volume significantly decreased. The LVFS significantly increased, and the E:A ratio significantly decreased. Total isovolumic time and the MPI significantly decreased. The MPI was negatively correlated (r=-0.63) with LVFS. Conversely, the MPI was positively correlated with the E:A ratio (r=0.47), stroke volume (r=0.66), and total isovolumic time (r=0.95). However, the MPI was not significantly correlated with heart rate, SAP, cardiac output, or ABF. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Analysis suggested that the MPI provides a sensitive clinical assessment of cardiac response to medication in cats, which may be similar to the usefulness of the MPI reported in humans. 相似文献

We hypothesize that high intensity training for Thoroughbred horses that have been subjected to conventional training could further improve the metabolic properties of the middle gluteal muscle. Nine well-trained horses were subjected to high intensity (80-100% Vdot;O(2)max, 5 minx2) training for 12 weeks. Biopsy samples were obtained from the muscle before and after 4 and 12 weeks of training. Three of the 9 horses did not complete the training programme. In the remaining 6 horses, activities of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), phosphofructokinase (PFK) and 3-hydroxy acyl CoA dehydrogenase (HAD), and the composition of myosin heavy chain isoforms were analyzed by biochemical techniques. After 12 weeks of training, a significant increase was found in PFK activity but not in the SDH and HAD activities. There were no significant changes in the composition of myosin heavy chain isoforms. The high intensity training in this study was effective at increasing glycolytic enzyme activity, indicating the possibility to improve anaerobic capacity, which potentially could contribute greatly to performance in Thoroughbred horses. This study also highlighted a fact that high intensity training should be given with the great care to prevent the skeletal muscle injuries. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether dobutamine, dopamine, or milrinone (a phosphodiesterase [PDE] III inhibitor) would support cardiac function that had been attenuated by administration of the beta-blocker, carvedilol (0.2, 0.4, or 0.8 mg/kg). Hemodynamic and cardiac parameters including the heart rate (HR), left-ventricular fractional shortening (FS), and arterial pressure were measured in six healthy dogs without cardiac disease. Carvedilol did not affect FS or arterial pressure, but decreased the HR significantly. The positive inotropic and chronotropic responses to dobutamine and dopamine were attenuated by carvedilol, whereas arterial pressure was unaffected. Milrinone did not affect the HR and decreased arterial pressure, whereas FS was significantly greater both in the control and carvedilol-treated groups. Although milrinone affect the negative chronotropic effects of carvedilol, milrinone increased FS and prevented the decrease in arterial pressure. These results suggest that inhibition of PDE III preserves cardiac contractility and hemodynamic function in the presence of carvedilol. 相似文献

Rumen digesta was obtained from wild Hokkaido sika deer to compare bacterial flora between summer and winter. Bacterial flora was characterized with molecular‐based approaches and enrichment cultivation. Bacteroidetes was shown as a major phylum followed by Firmicutes, with similar proportions in both seasons. However, two phylogenetically unique groups in Bacteroidetes were found in each season: unknown group A in winter and unknown group B in summer. The ruminal abundance of unknown group A was the highest followed by Ruminococcus flavefaciens in winter. Moreover, the abundance of these two was higher in winter than in summer. In contrast, the abundance of unknown group B was higher in summer than in winter. In addition, this group showed the highest abundance in summer among the bacteria quantified. Unknown group A was successfully enriched by cultivating with oak bark and sterilized rumen fluid, particularly that from deer. Bacteria of this group were distributed in association with the solid rather than the liquid rumen fraction, and were detected as small cocci. Accordingly, unknown group A is assumed to be involved in degradation of fibrous materials. These results suggest that wild Hokkaido sika deer develop a rumen bacterial flora in response to changes in dietary conditions. 相似文献

Objectives
Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels have been reported to be elevated in cats with cardiomyopathy. We investigated the diagnostic accuracy of plasma ANP concentration as an indicator of the severity of cardiomyopathies.Animals
This study included 78 control cats and 83 cats with various types of cardiomyopathy.Methods
This was a prospective multicentre study. Control cats were determined to have a normal heart, and diseased cats were diagnosed by echocardiography. Diseased cats were divided into asymptomatic cats without left atrial dilation (LAD), asymptomatic cats with LAD, and cats with heart failure. Plasma C-terminal ANP concentrations were measured using chemiluminescence.Results
The median plasma ANP concentration in controls was 43.3 (interquartile range, 33.0–56.3) pg/mL. Plasma ANP values were significantly higher in the cardiomyopathic cats with LAD and heart failure, but the values in cats without LAD were comparable to those in control cats. To distinguish cats with cardiomyopathy from controls, a plasma ANP concentration >77.5 pg/mL afforded sensitivity of 66.3% and specificity of 84.6%. Use of plasma ANP concentration >110.9 pg/mL to identify cats with LAD had a sensitivity of 73.6% and specificity of 93.5%. The areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curve were 0.80 and 0.86.Conclusions
Plasma ANP concentrations were higher in cats with more advanced cardiomyopathy. Although assaying the ANP concentration alone may not help to diagnose cardiac disease, measuring provides additional information that is useful for assessing the severity of cardiomyopathies. 相似文献6.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate short term urinary NAG levels in a model of reduced kidney mass. The half and quarter kidney mass were made from ligation of the renal artery. Both groups decreased in the level of excreted NAG on day 1 and 2 after operation. On day 5 after operation, both groups achieved urinary enzyme levels comparable to that of the sham-operated group. The remaining compensated nephrons held normal range of excreted urinary NAG levels, although reduced number of nephrons resulted in a decline in urinary NAG levels. 相似文献

The purposes of the present study were to evaluate the hepatocarcinogenicity of
concurrent treatment of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline
(MeIQx) and diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in rats and to determine whether no effect levels of
combinations of these two different structural categories of genotoxic hepatocarcinogens
exist. Two 16-week rat hepatocarcinogenesis assays were performed using a total of 790
male F344 rats. In experiment 1, we evaluated the effects of concurrent treatment of a
subcarcinogenic dose of DEN on rat hepatocarcinogenesis induced by various doses of MeIQx.
In experiment 2, we determined hepatocarcinogenicities of combinations of MeIQx and DEN at
subcarcinogenic doses, low carcinogenic doses and high carcinogenic doses. Quantitative
analyses of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive
foci, a preneoplastic lesion of the liver in rats, revealed that concurrent treatment with
subcarcinogenic doses of DEN did not enhance MeIQx-induced rat hepatocarcinogenicity. We
also found that concurrent treatment with combinations of subcarcinogenic doses of DEN and
MeIQx was not hepatocarcinogenic, indicating that the combined effects of subcarcinogenic
doses of DEN and MeIQx were neither additive nor synergistic. Moreover, concurrent
treatment with low carcinogenic doses of these 2 carcinogens did not show additive or
synergistic effects. Synergetic effects were observed only in rats coadministered high
carcinogenic doses of the 2 carcinogens. These results demonstrate the existence of no
effect levels of combinations of these 2 genotoxic hepatocarcinogens, and provide new
evidence supporting our idea that there is a threshold, at least a practical threshold,
that should be considered when evaluating the risk of genotoxic carcinogens. 相似文献

The Rio Grande do Sul state, in Southern Brazil, is one of the foci of human cystic echinococcosis (CE). The sheep strain (G1) of Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus ortleppi (also known as cattle strain G5) have been reported before to infect livestock. However, up to the present, no molecular data are available on isolates of the E. granulosus complex from humans and dogs. The present study analyzed hydatid cysts from 6 CE patients and adult worms from 12 dogs. Sequencing of the mitochondrial cox1 and 12S rRNA genes detected the E. granulosus G1 genotype from four human cases, the G3 genotype (or buffalo strain) from one human case and E. ortleppi from another human case, respectively. Ten of the twelve dogs were found infected with the G1 genotype, and one dog each harbored worms of the G3 genotype and E. ortleppi. Obvious morphological differences were recognized between the G1 and E. ortleppi adult worms from dogs in this region. The buffalo strain (G3) is for the first time reported from South America. 相似文献

In the present study, modifying effects of diabetes on carcinogenesis induced in type 2 diabetes mellitus model Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were investigated using a multiorgan carcinogenesis bioassay. Our re sults demonstrated enhancement of urinary bladder, colon and liver carcinogenesis in ZDF rats treated with five types of carcinogens (DMBDD). Elevated insulin and leptin and decreased adiponectin levels in the serum may be responsible for the high susceptibility of type 2 diabetes mellitus model rats to carcinogenesis in these organs. Possible mechanisms of increased susceptibility of diabetic rats to bladder carcinogenesis could be activation of the PI3K pathway and suppression of p53 in the urothelium in consequence of the above serum protein alterations. 相似文献
