JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn 2005, the bluetongue virus (BTV) was prevalent in cattle bred in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The antibodies to BTV were detected initially in September and were the earliest, covering a wide area since the first outbreak of BTV in that area in 1994. The three kinds of RNA segments of BTV detected between 2001 and 2005 were phylogenetically analyzed. By analysis of RNA segment 3 encoding of the inner capsid protein VP3, the Japanese BTVs including the Tochigi strains were classified into the same genogroup and closely related to some strains derived from Asia and Australia. Although the result of phylogenetic analysis of RNA segment 10 encoding non-structural protein NS3/3A was similar to that of RNA segment 3, the Tochigi strains were grouped into two distinct lineages. The analysis of RNA segment 2 encoding of the outer capsid protein VP2,the serotype-specific neutralizing antigen, revealed that the BTV serotype 21 has appeared repeatedly in Tochigi Prefecture. BTV might have been introduced to Japan from a neighboring country.View full abstractDownload PDF (469K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is essential for the diagnosis of bovine bracken poisoning to confirm that the cow has eaten bracken. Detection of the gene for the large subunit of the ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) of pteridophytes in the gut contents from a Japanese black cow that died suddenly after depasturage was carried out using a polymerase chain reaction. PCR products were successfully amplified and one of them was analyzed phylogenetically. The sequence of PCR product from rumen content was identical to the Pteridium aquilinum gene in the same cluster. This PCR method will be helpful in diagnosing bovine bracken poisoning.View full abstractDownload PDF (243K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIn a Japanese black calf that experienced recurrent ruminal tympany beginning at 17 days after birth,esophageal stenosis based on a vascular ring was diagnosed through endoscopy, transesophageal ultrasonography, and barium esophagography. The subject was equipped with a hernia net to induce eructation and the clinical course was observed. The calf was euthanized at 70 days of age due to persistent dysphagia. Necropsy revealed notable bulging of the rumen. The ascending aorta originating from the left ventricle shifted to the right aortic arch on the right side of the trachea and esophagus. This right aortic arch caused the bicarotid trunk and right subclavian artery to branch before running to the left side behind the esophagus and the trachea and causing the left subclavian artery to branch. It then shifted toward the left descending aorta. At the origin of the left subclavian artery, a left ligamentum arteriosum linked the left aortic arch and pulmonary artery. The right aortic arch, left ligamentum arteriosum, and pulmonary artery, along with the base of the heart, formed a vascular ring that completely surrounded the esophagus and trachea and the esophagus was compressed and narrowed by this vascular ring.View full abstractDownload PDF (384K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA seventeen-year-old domestic cat with an oral and mandibular mass that appeared to be a squamous cell carcinoma was treated with a local injection of a new dosage formulation consisting of carboplatin bound to carbon particles. The therapeutic course was good, with a remarkable contraction of oral tumor size and progress in the suppression of the mandibular lesion. As a result, a local injection of the carboplatin bound to carbon particles appeared to be a useful therapy in targeted chemotherapy.View full abstractDownload PDF (344K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe bilateral simultaneous conjunctival nodules of a 3.8-year-old neutered male cat were diagnosed as bilateral nodular lipogranulomatous conjunctivitis. Macroscopically, these nodules were milky white in color with a smooth surface. The size of the left and right nodule was approximately 7 mm and 5 mm in diameter, respectively. Histopathologically, these nodules were an aggregation of inflammatory cells consisting mainly of multinucleated giant cells and macrophages. These cells had varying amounts of cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles/clefts,associated with considerable amounts of extracellular lipids. However, there were striking differences between the left and right lesions in terms of the ratio of the inflammatory cells and extracellular lipids.View full abstractDownload PDF (299K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA seven-year-old male rabbit presented with a history of a mass lesion at the left forelimb and lameness. The affected forelimb was amputated using a carbon dioxide laser to eliminate pain. Based on a histopathological examination, the tumor was diagnosed as liposarcoma. There was no infiltration into the humerus, and infiltration of the tumor cell into the lymph nodes could not be identified. The physical condition of the rabbit remained good, showing vigor and appetite, and quality of life improved after the operation. The application of the carbon dioxide laser to the rabbit was deemed appropriate, relieving the pain and stress during and after the operation. No relapse was seen one year after the operation, and adaptation to the loss of the left forelimb has been confirmed. ―View full abstractDownload PDF (365K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe survivability of Coxiella burnetii in mayonnaise and its ingredients, including whole egg, yolk, albumen,and vinegar as an acetic acid was investigated. The infectivity of C. burnetii in mayonnaise decreased over time to be 1/100 after seven days at room temperature. No change in the infectivity of C. burnetii was observed for 0.5% to 2.0% acetic acid for seven days at room temperature. The incubation of C. burnetii in the albumen lowered the infectivity to 1/10. Heating the coxiella suspension at 64 ℃for seven minutes decreased the infectivity to 1/100 in yolk compared to 1/10 in PBS. These results indicated that contaminated C. burnetii in mayonnaise may be able to be eliminated with seven days.View full abstractDownload PDF (318K)
