Intravenous catheterisation of foetus and mare in late pregnancy: management and respiratory, circulatory and metabolic effects.

The uterine and umbilical vessels of 12 pregnant ponies were catheterised to study foetal metabolism. The effects of this procedure on maternal and foetal cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and adrenocortical activity were monitored during and after surgery. Premedication with acepromazine-butorphanol-detomidine was followed by induction of anaesthesia with detomidine and ketamine and maintenance, using mechanical ventilation, with halothane in oxygen and nitrous oxide. Mean maternal arterial blood pressure was greater than 70 mmHg during anaesthesia and arterial oxygen tension remained over 100 mmHg. The foetuses were adequately oxygenated but were hypercapnic and lactic acidaemic. Most maternal and foetal blood gases and metabolites had returned to normal by 24 h, although foetal plasma lactate fell more slowly. The maternal adrenocortical discharge was less severe than reported previously and plasma cortisol had fallen to basal levels by 48 h after surgery. Foetal plasma cortisol remained low and did not change during or after surgery. Arterio-venous metabolite and gas tension differences across the uterine and umbilical circulations were slightly greater at operation than in the recovery period, suggesting that uteroplacental perfusion may have been impaired during surgery. Post-operative recovery of the mare and foetus was satisfactory and subsequent problems associated with the foetal catheters were not related to the anaesthesia or surgery.     

牛肉酶解条件和饮料加工技术研究

采用酶解技术和发酵技术,对酶解牛肉蛋白饮料的生产工艺进行了研究。正交试验结果表明,在胃蛋白酶酶浓度(与底物之比)为8g/kg,温度35℃,pH2.5条件下水解3h,水解后游离氨基酸含量由原来的10.7mg/kg增加到14.7mg/kg,变化不明显;木瓜蛋白酶在酶浓度(与底物之比)为8g/kg,温度60℃,pH7条件下水解4h,水解后游离氨基酸含量由原来的10.7mg/kg增加到40.1mg/kg,增加了将近4倍。对比试验结果说明,木瓜蛋白酶比胃蛋白酶更适于牛肉酶解。酶解后的水解液接入30g/kg的嗜热链球菌(S.t)和保加利亚杆菌(L.b)发酵2h过滤后,酶解液风味得到明显改善,并产生了特殊的发酵风味,适于做保健饮品。牛肉饮料配方:牛肉酶解发酵过滤液80g/kg,麦芽糖30g/kg,蔗糖45g/kg,乳化稳定剂3g/kg,柠檬酸等酸味调节剂和香精适量,调pH为3.8～4.0。产品符合牛肉饮料标准和国家相关标准。     

无机铜试剂对棉花苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性的影响

利用无机铜试剂（CIE）在新陆早17和新陆中26两棉花品种的3叶期和蕾期进行叶面喷施,检测棉株叶片内的苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAL）的活性变化。结果表明,两品种在3叶期和蕾期均表现为PAL活性显著增高,第2天后即开始产生对PAL活性诱导作用,第10天后PAL的活性开始回落至对照组水平;两品种蕾期PAL的诱导活性均明显高于3叶期,且PAL高活性水平持续天数较3叶期长;棉花不同生育期使用CIE,均可增强棉叶PAL的活性;两品种在不同生育期的PAL活性出现峰值的时间、强度不一,显示出品种抗性的差异性。试验表明,CIE可诱导增强棉叶中PAL的活性。     

Uranium and Lead Isotopic Stability in a Metamict Zircon under Experimental Hydrothermal Conditions

Abstract. Disturbance of the uranium-lead isotopic system in a metamict Ceylon zircon has been produced in a 2 molal NaCI solution at 500 degrees C and 1000 bars fluid pressure. Loss of radiogenic lead to the extent of 61 percent in 13 days was the most significant effect. The experimental results support the episodic rather than continuous lead-loss interpretation of natural zircon systems utilized in geochronology.     

Cerebellar cystic meningioma in a dog

A 21-kg, seven-year-old, male, mixed-breed Labrador retriever was admitted for incoordination and a head tilt of approximately three months' duration. Ataxia was noted of the trunk and limbs, and there was a head tilt to the right side. Conscious proprioceptive deficits were present in the left thoracic and pelvic limbs (i.e., hemiparesis). These abnormalities were consistent with paradoxical vestibular syndrome and a lesion involving the caudal cerebellar peduncle. A mass lesion consisting primarily of fluid was present on magnetic resonance imaging and at craniectomy. Histopathological diagnosis was a cystic meningioma. Based upon previous reports and experience, the location of this tumor was unusual.     

白马鸡人工驯养初步研究

通过人工饲养的方式探索出白马鸡驯养的经验,即:在野生白马鸡适宜生境下建立饲养场,从育雏阶段开始进行人工投食饲养和本地土鸡带领相结合的驯养方式。目前已经完成从子一代到子二代的完整驯养、饲养流程,取得了云南省林业厅的驯养繁殖许可证。对育雏、亚成体、成体阶段的喂食量、存活情况等作了分析,认为接近原始生境的环境及本地带雏母鸡是成功的重要条件。     

不同土地利用类型氨挥发氮同位素自然丰度特征

为了探讨不同土地利用类型下氨（NH3）挥发氮同位素自然丰度特征,采集3种土地利用类型（果园、菜地和林地）土壤,在可控条件下采用海绵吸收法开展了为期15d的室内培养试验,测定了不同土地利用类型下土壤NH3挥发全过程δ15N值及其变化规律。培养期间,3种土地利用类型下的土壤NH+4-N浓度均呈现先上升后下降的趋势;果园和菜...
