Prophylactic effects of recombinant bovine interferon -alpha 1 on acute Salmonella typhimurium infection in calves.
1990
Peel J.E. | Kolly C. | Siegenthaler B. | Martinod S.R.
The in vivo effects of a single prophylactic dose of recombinant bovine interferon (rBoIFN)-alphaI1 in calves with salmonellosis were investigated, using a Salmonella typhimurium infection model. Treatment with rBoIFN-alphaI1 reduced the degree of septicemia compared with that in control groups, and, in one experiment, using disease of reduced severity, body temperature was lower in treated calves than in controls.

Johnson B.W. | Whiteley H.E. | McLaughlin S.A.
An experimental model of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) was produced by removing the lacrimal gland and the gland of the third eyelid from the left eye of 6 cats. The right eye of each cat was left intact and used as a control. After 2 weeks, cats were euthanatized and the central portion of the upper eyelid from both eyes of each cat was excised. Histologic sections were stained with either hematoxylin and eosin or with a battery of biotinylated lectins including concanavalin A (conA), soybean agglutinin (SBA), wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), succinylated wheat germ agglutinin (S-WGA), Ulex europaeus agglutinin I (UEA), Dolichos biflorus agglutinin (DBA), Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA), peanut agglutinin (PNA), and PNA pretreated with neuraminidase. Consistent differences in histologic features were not observed between conjunctivas with KCS and control conjunctivas. A variable degree of mononuclear cell infiltration of the substantia propria was observed in control conjunctivas and those with KCS. In both groups, conjunctival goblet cell density decreased and epithelial stratification increased as the degree of submucosal inflammatory cell infiltration increased. Lectin binding sites for DBA, WGA, S-WGA, UEA, PNA, and PNA pretreated with neuraminidase were detected on conjunctival goblet cells of conjunctivas with KCS and control conjunctivas. The mucus/glycocalyx layer of conjunctival epithelial cells in both groups of conjunctivas bound lectins RCA, WGA, UEA, and conA, but inconsistently bound S-WGA. In both groups, DBA principally bound to the mucus layer overlying normal epithelium, whereas PNA pretreated with neuraminidase consistently bound to the mucus layer of stratified epithelial surfaces free of goblet cells. Binding of SBA to goblet cells and the mucus/glycocalyx layer was variable.

1988
Sarmiento J.I. | Casey T.A. | Moon H.W.
A reproducible model of postweaning colibacillosis was obtained by controlling management and environmental variables to simulate conditions often seen at weaning. Suckling pigs were exposed briefly to starter diet at 1 week of age, weaned at 3 weeks of age, held at an ambient temperature of 20 +/- 2 C, again given the starter diet. One day after weaning, each pig was given 10(10) colony-forming units of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli strain M1823B (0157:K88ac:H43-LT+ STb+) in broth containing 1.2% sodium bicarbonate via stomach tube. In vitro adhesion by strain M1823B to isolated intestinal branch borders was used to tst pigs for susceptibility to K88. In this model, 3 syndromes were induced in susceptible pigs: (1) peracute fatal diarrhea; (2) moderate diarrhea, weight loss, and fecal shedding of the inoculum strain; and (3) no diarrhea, weight loss, and fecal shedding of the inoculum strain. Rotavirus particles were not found in fecal specimens of pigs with diarrhea. The K88-susceptible, noninoculated control pigs remained clinically normal. It was concluded that susceptibility to adhesion by K88+ enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli was a requirement for the production of disease in this model; inoculation with rotavirus was not necessary.
اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]An experimental model of chronic renal disease in dogs by infusion of microspheres into the renal arterial circulation.
1990
Dzanis D.A. | Krook L. | Harvey H.J. | Kallfelz F.A.
The feasibility of renal arterial infusion of nonbiodegradable microspheres as a model of chronic renal disease in dogs was evaluated. Resin-coated, styrene-divinyl benzene copolymer microspheres were infused into the kidneys of healthy adult Beagles by direct injections of both renal arteries in a single surgical procedure. Injections of 25-micrometer diameter microspheres had minimal effect on either the clinical status or serum values of the dogs. Histologic examination revealed the majority of the microspheres lodged within the capillary beds of the glomeruli, and little change to the kidneys. However, injections of 50-micrometer diameter microspheres caused significant increases in serum concentrations of urea nitrogen and creatinine. Histologically, the larger microspheres obstructed afferent arterioles and small arteries, which caused diffuse glomerular necrosis and nephron damage. With doses ranging from 1 to 3 million microspheres/dog, a correlation between the quantity of microspheres injected and severity of renal damage was observed. The optimal dose for producing a model of moderate renal disease was determined to be 1.8 million microspheres/dog (0.9 million microspheres/kidney). During long-term studies, microsphere-injected dogs fed a moderately restricted protein ration remained relatively azotemic, compared with control dogs on the identical ration. During the 5-month postsurgical period, the serum urea nitrogen concentration averaged 18.41 +/- 1.59 mg/dl (mean +/- SE) for the microsphere-injected dogs vs 9.31 +/-0.38 for the control dogs (P < 0.001). Similarly, the mean serum creatinine value was significantly higher (P = 0.020) for the microsphere-injected dogs, compared with the controls (1.23 +/- 0.12 mg/dl vs 0.94 +/- 0.03). In addition, the difference in mean endogenous creatinine clearance rates was statistically significant (microsphere-injected 1.02 0.05 ml/min/kg, vs control 1.53 +/- 0.06, P < 0.001).

1989
Dziezyc J. | Millichamp N.J. | Rohde B.H. | Baker J.S. | Chiou G.C.Y.
Uveitis was induced in dogs by intracameral injection of canine lens protein. The lipoxygenase inhibitors phenidone and norhydroguaiaretic acid, and dimethyl sulfoxide decreased fibrin production at 0.5 and 1 hour after induction uveitis. Phenidone and norhydroguaiaretic acid also inhibited the initial increase intraocular pressure early in the course of inflammation. Leukotriene B4 in the aqueous was measured by use of radioimmunoassay at 1 hour after inflammation. In control dogs, 230 to 1,700 pg of leukotriene B4/ml was measured; in dogs treated with phenidone, leukotriene, B4 was not measured.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is associated with the most common neoplastic disease of cattle. BLV has a silent dissemination in the herd due to infected cell exchange, thus the concentration of BLV-infected cells in blood should play a major role in the success of viral transmission. Genes from Bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA), the MHC system of cattle, are associated with genetic resistance and susceptibility to a wide range of diseases, and also with production traits. Some BoLA DRB3.2 allele polymorphisms in Holstein cattle have been associated with resistance or susceptibility to BLV-disease development, or with proviral load (PVL). This investigation studied 107 BLV-infected Argentinean Holstein dairy cows, all of them belonging to one herd. PVL was analysed by qPCR and animals were classified as high proviral load (HPVL, N = 88) and low proviral load (LPVL, N = 19), and BoLA DRB3.2 alleles were genotyped. Alleles BoLA DRB3.2*1501 and *1201 were significantly associated with HPVL (p = 0.0230 and p = 0.0111 respectively), while allele BoLA DRB3.2*0201 was significantly associated with LPVL (p = 0.0030). The present study aims at contributing to the knowledge of the association between BoLA polymorphism and development of a BLV infection profile. Genes that best explain the PVL in this population resulted BoLA DRB3.2*0201 (as a protection factor) and *1501 (as a risk factor). Allelic differences may play an important role in the development of effective immune responses. A better understanding of how BoLA polymorphism contributes to these responses and the establishment of a BLV status is desirable to schedule and evaluate control measures. | O vírus da leucemia bovina (BLV) está associado à doença neoplásica mais comum do gado bovino.

O objetivo deste estudo é contribuir para o conhecimento da associação entre o polimorfismo de BoLA e o desenvolvimento de infecção por BLV. Os genes que melhor explicam a PVL na população analisada resultaram em BoLA DRB3.2*0201 (como fator de proteção) e *1501 (como fator de risco). As diferenças alélicas podem desempenhar um papel importante no desenvolvimento de respostas imunitárias eficazes. Uma melhor compreensão de como o polimorfismo BoLA contribui para estas respostas e o estabelecimento de um estado BLV é desejável para agendar e avaliar as medidas de controle. | Inst. de Genética "Ewald A.

1999
Bae, C.S. (Konkuk University, Seoul (Korea republic). Department of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine)
Osteoporosis is defined as a decrease in bone mass that leads to an increased risk of fracture. The therapeutic effect of 1alpha,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol, the hormonal form of vitamin D3 that mediates calcium translation in intestine and bone, on the healing process of fracture has still been controversial. These studies were designed to understand the healing process of normal fibular fracture, the osteoporotic changes after ovariectomy, and the theraqeutic effects of 1alpha,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol on the osteoporotic fracture in rats. The simple transverse fractures of rat fibulae were produced with a rotating diamond saw. The changes of the biochemical and mechanical indices of rats were investigated. The mechanical study based on bending test revealed the healing of the fibular fracture in the 5th week after simple transverse fracture. The osteoporosis impaired more the healing of osteoporotic fibular fracture than normal non-osteoporotic fibular fracture. The healing process of osteoporotic fracture was facilitated by the treatment with 1alpha,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol, however was delayed more than the healing process of normal fracture. The bone strength based on the bending test also confirmed this tendency. The bone strengths in the 5th week after fracture of normal bone, osteoporotic bone, and 1alpha,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol-treated osteoporotic bone were 75%, 41% and 67%, respectively, in comparison with those of intact bone. In conclusion, 1alpha,25 dihydroxycholecalciferol was effective in promoting the osteroporotic fracture healing.

Cancers are mainly sustained by a small pool of neoplastic cells, known as cancer stem cells or tumorinitiating cells. These cells possess the ability to self-renew and proliferate, and are thus able to form the tumor. In the present study cells that correspond to cancer stem cells in mammary and liver cancers in animals were identified by the expression of CD133, CD44, CK7, and OCT4 using immunochemistry. As a result, we found with CD133+ and CD44+ cancer stem cell-like phenotypes in mouse and canine hepatocellular carcinoma and canine mammary gland tumors. However, CK7+ and OCT4+ cells were not identified in animal mammary and liver cancer. CD133+ and CD44+ cells are wellknown stem cell lines and play key roles in development and metastasis in human cancer. These findings suggest that cancer stem cells are involved in animal tumorigenesis and may provide insight into mechanisms in cancer development as well as cancer diagnostics.
