JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe investigated the preventive effect of low-dose interferon alpha (IFN α) administered orally against shipping fever in thoroughbred horses. Ninety two-year-old thoroughbreds were randomly divided into three groups: a group to be medicated three times, a group to be medicated one time, and a control group. Doses of 0.5 IU/kg/time/day per os were administrated to the horses before transportation. Trucks exclusively designed for the transportation of horses were used. The total traveling time was 13 to 36 hours, with a onehour rest period approximately every five hours of transportation. Three days before the transportation started and immediately after transportation ended, the rectal temperature and body weight were measured and blood tests were carried out. The rectal temperature was significantly lower after transportation in the group medicated three times compared with the control group. The group medicated three times had significantly lower fibrinogen concentration than the group medicated one time and the control group. These results suggest that shipping fever might be prevented or its incidence reduced by administration of low-dose IFN α per os to horses before transportation. Horses administered IFN α three times before transportation showed a lesser incidence than horses receiving it once or not at all.View full abstractDownload PDF (839K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCertain endocrinological characteristics of granulosa cell tumors (GCT) in two Japanese Black cows were described. The ages and parity of the two cows were 12 years old and 9, and 4 years old and 2. Plasma samples were taken from the jugular vein from 213 to 170 days prior to the surgical removal of the affected ovaries with GCT and from nine days prior to the removal to ten days after the removal in Case A, and from 85 days prior to two days after the removal of the affected ovary in Case B. Plasma concentrations of estradio1-17β, progesterone, testosterone, inhibin and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured by radioimmunoassay. The two cases showed no distinct estrous sign or abnormal estrous behavior. Plasma concentrations of inhibin remained high before the ovarian removal, and declined abruptly after the removal in the two cases. In contrast, plasma concentrations of FSH increased after surgery. In conclusion, it is suggested that inhibin secreted from the ovary of a cow with GCT may be biologically active, and that the elevation of plasma concentration of inhibin could be a useful indicator for the diagnosis of bovine GCT.View full abstractDownload PDF (1091K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA dog with severe pyoderma complicated with hypothyroidism had been treated with antibiotics and levothyroxine, but failed to respond. The pyoderma lesions gradually abated after Tamogitake extract administration for one week, and subsequently, pyoderma as well as alopecia that had afflicted the entire body completely disappeared 4 months after the treatment. In a healthy dog orally administered with Tamogitake extract, the value of serumβ-D glucan did not increase. However, the phagocytic ability of neutrophils slightly increased, and the amount of canine IL-8 mRNA in mononuclear cells increased. The results suggest that the effectiveness of the Tamogitake extract on pyoderma is produced through the mechanism that theβ-D glucan contained in the extact is ingested by macrophages in lymphoid apparatuses in the intestine and releases IL-8 from the macrophages. The IL-8 might increase the phagocytic ability of neutrophils.View full abstractDownload PDF (2950K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSUsing liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), simultaneous detection was made possible for the analysis of six penicillins in bovine muscle and kidney. The penicillins were extracted using a Macilvain buffer (pH4.0), and the extracted solution was cleaned on a Mega Bond-Elut C18. The extract was dissolved. in 2 mmol/l ammonium acetate for injection into the LC/MS. LC separation was performed with a gradient elution of 2 mmol/l ammonium acetate-acetonitrile in the mobile phase. The penicillins were detected by selected ion monitoring using molecular-related ions and fragment ions. The average recoveries of the penicillins from fortified tissues were in the range of 66.7-89.3% in muscles and 67.5-77.9% in kidneys. Detection limits were 0.02, ug/g for ampicillin and 0.01μg/g for other penicillins. The present method was used for the analysis of residual ampicillin in kidneys, and the drug was confirmed by the two monitor ions.View full abstractDownload PDF (800K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSNine cases ofVibrio Vulnificusinfectious disease (resulting in four male deaths) were recorded from June to August in 2001 in Kumamoto Prefecture. Six cases (resulting in three deaths) were within the jurisdiction of the Public Health Center of Kumamoto Prefecture. Victims of the illness had all been suffering from liver disease. In public health center administration, there are few precedents for synthetic practice and research with respect to action in response toVibrio Vulnificusinfectious disease. The Public Health Center of Kumamoto Prefecture assessed and identified appropriate action forVibrio Vulnificusinfectious disease, as practiced in the jurisdiction of Yatsushiro Public Health Center, and found useful approaches for responding to the disease in the future. These include: 1) Investigating and identifying symptoms; 2) Synthetic investigation; 3) Investigating and applying information communications; 4) Measures for participatory action; 5) Injury analysis for products deemed to be local foods; 6) Sanitary control from sea to table.View full abstractDownload PDF (1372K)
