黄山花楸种子休眠影响因素

对黄山花楸(Sorbus amabilis)种子休眠的解剖结构基础与影响条件进行了试验研究。结果表明:黄山花楸种子由种皮和胚2部分组成。胚形态发育完全,种皮表面覆一层角质层,胚根端和子叶端的种皮细胞排列明显比中间部位密集;种子透水性障碍不明显而透气性障碍显著;未处理的完整种子萌发率为0,种胚、种胚去除不同量子叶处理萌发率为86.67%～96.67%;种子去除不同部位种皮的萌发率在90%以上。表明黄山花楸种胚无休眠,种皮透性、特别是透气性对休眠有一定影响,种子休眠主要是种皮的机械障碍引起的物理休眠。     

从“久卧伤气”探讨慢性阻塞性肺疾病合并坠积性肺炎发病机制

长期卧床的慢性阻塞性肺疾病（chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,COPD）患者,痰液等分泌物易阻塞于呼吸道,甚则肺部形成瘀血,极易引发坠积性肺炎。中医认为“久卧伤气”,气伤则虚、气伤痰阻、气伤血瘀,终致痰瘀互结。COPD患者肺、脾、肾虚,痰瘀交阻,久卧于床则加重三脏之虚,痰瘀益甚而合并坠积性肺炎。故从COPD并发坠积性肺炎的中医病机出发,深入剖析“久卧伤气”与COPD并发坠积性肺炎的关系,以期为临床诊疗提供理论基础。     

论犬子宫破裂

犬的子宫体部或子宫角在妊娠期、分娩期或子宫发生异常病变时,发生破裂称为子宫破裂。子宫破裂为生殖系统最严重并发症之一,常引起母体和胎儿的死亡。     

Effect of intravenous mannitol upon the resistive index in complete unilateral renal obstruction in dogs

Some studies have shown that relative to baseline, the renal resistive index (RI) remains unchanged in nonobstructed kidneys and increases in obstructed kidneys after administration of furosemide. To our knowledge, the effect of mannitol administration on the renal RI of dogs has not been reported. We evaluated the renal RI in 16 kidneys in 8 young adult dogs after administration of mannitol. The mean RI decreased significantly from baseline (P < .01). Additionally, left complete ureteral obstruction wasinduced in 5 dogs. Evaluation by Doppler ultrasonography was performed for 5 days. On the 5th day, Doppler examination was repeated at 30 and 60 minutes after administration of mannitol to obstructed dogs. After induction of left ureteral obstruction, the RI of the left kidney increased significantly over 5 consecutive days. Administration of mannitol decreased the RI in the nonobstructed contralateral kidneys, and thus the RI difference between obstructed and nonobstructed kidneys was increased above normal (P < .001). In conclusion, administration of mannitol may be useful as another diuretic agent to identify unilateral ureteral obstruction on Doppler sonographic examination.     

Pancreatic pseudocyst causing extrahepatic biliary obstruction in a dog

A 3-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback was examined because of recurrent pancreatitis of 2 months duration. The dog had signs of abdominal pain and jaundice. Blood biochemical findings were consistent with extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, but on abdominal ultrasonography no cause of obstruction was identified. At surgery a pancreatic pseudocyst was found in the body of the pancreas. Cystoduodenostomy, cystic omentalisation and biliary diversion resulted in excellent long-term recovery.
