Hemodialysis is an effective therapy for renal failure in veterinary practice. To evaluate hematologic and hemodynamic changes during hemodialysis, 13 dogs were treated with hemodialysis, after which complete blood cell counts (CBC), serum chemistry, and mean systolic blood pressure were analyzed. For CBC, white blood cells (WBC) and platelets underwent significant changes. In serum chemistry, there were significant differences in blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, total protein, albumin, globulin, amylase, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus contents. Further, mean systolic blood pressure suddenly increased in early hemodialysis and decreased significantly thereafter. During hemodialysis, adverse effects were observed in some dogs as follows: bleeding (1 dog), anemia (2 dogs), leukopenia (8 dogs), thrombocytopenia (2 dogs), and hypotension (1 dog). This study demonstrates hematologic and hemodynamic effects during hemodialysis as well as complications similar to human medicine. Before applying the commercialized human hemodialysis system to canine renal failure patients, we monitored hematologic and hemodynamic findings during hemodialysis in healthy beagle dogs.

Seong Eun Kyung,Moo Hwan Chang,Jun Young Ji 대한안과학회 2002 Korean Journal of Ophthalmology Vol.16 No.1

Hereditary vitreoretinopathies are potentially blinding inherited disorders characterized by an abnormal-appearing vitreous gel and associated retinal changes. Four of these disorders, Stickler’s syndrome, Wagner’s disease, erosive vitreoretinopathy, and Goldmann-Favre syndrome, exhibit marked syneresis of the vitreous gel. Erosive vitreoretinopathy has associated retinal pigment epithelial changes, poor night vision, visual field defects, and abnormal electroretinographic findings; symptoms not found in Stickler’s syndrome. A 36-year-old man with progressive visual loss and a visual field defect had no systemic disease. His vitreous cavity was liquefied. Vitreous strands and a cataract were found in both eyes. Pronounced RPE degeneration was found superotemporally in both eyes and a bullous rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in the left eye accompanied two retinal tears. His visual field showed a ring scotoma in both eyes and the ERG finding was abnormal. We report one case of erosive vitreoretinopathy with retinal pigment epithelial changes, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, visual field defects, abnormal electroretinographic findings, marked vitreous syneresis and cataract. These symptoms are distinct from previously described entities.

To evaluate the specificity of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) fusion (F) protein gene for various NDV strains. F protein genes of NDV CBP-1 isolate, LaSota, B1 and Kyojungwon (KJW) were amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and RFLP were examined. In RT-PCR using F primer sets for 1.7 kb F gene, the amplified products were observed in CBP-1, LaSota and B1 except KJW. However, F2 primer set for 521 bp yielded the amplified bands with all strains. The amplified F genes (1.7 kbp) were treatd with 15 different restriction enzymes to analyze RFLP and the cleavage patterns. CBP-1 showed various cleavage patterns with 8 enzymes, LaSota, with 11 enzymes and B1, with 11 enzymes. According to the cleavage patterns, the physical maps were constructed, and it was found that CBP-1, LaSota and B1 strains had specific cleavage sites with HinfI, XbaI and XhoI. These findings suggest that RFLP are worth applying in the diagnosis and molecular epidemiological studies of Newcastle disease.

Newcastle disease(ND) that is caused by Newcastle disease virus(NDV) classified into genus Rubulavirus, subfamily Paramyxovirinae in Paramyxoviridae is an infectious disease of poultry, being characterized with the respiratory, digestive and nervous signs with high morbidity and mortality. The severity of symptoms are depending on pathogenicity of the strains. By a strict quarantine and control measures, ND has been completely eradicated in the developed countries. Since the first outbreak of ND in 1929 in Korea, the government has defined ND into the first class disease and implemented various control measures including vaccination program regulated by the law of infectious animal disease control. However, the disease is persistently prevailing in the poultry farms causing a significant economic losses in the domestic poultry industry. To overcome the present disadvantages, it has been indicated that development and application of more effective and advanced technology are necessary for successful control and eradication of ND. Recently many scientists over the world have actively investigated to elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of NDV and develope more advanced methods for diagnosis and prevention of ND control using molecular biotechnology. A number of scientific reports therefore have been published in these fields. This review includes the available literatures on development of diagnosis and prevention of ND using molecular biotechnology up to date, in the aspects of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphism, nucleic acid hybridization, gene sequence analysis and recombinant subunit vaccine.

Porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) causes piglet deaths, runting, inclusion body rhinitis, respiratory and reproductive disorders in swine herd, resulting in the significant economic losses in the swine industry. Recently, in the field of pig-to-human xenotransplantation, PCMV has been indicated as a potential xenogeneic pathogen with the risk for infection transmitted from the xenograft donor to the recipient. In this study, PCMV DNA polymerase gene was detected in the sera and nasal swabs from 30 heads of the weaned piglets affected with various wasting diseases and 10 heads of normal healthy piglets using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the diagnostic efficacy of PCR was evaluated. The prevalence of the PCR-positive by specimens from the diseased piglets were 83.3% in sera and 33.3% in nasal swabs. In the normal healthy group, the PCR-positive rates of sera and nasal swabs were 40% and 30%, respectively. Ten piglets (25.0%) out of 40 showed the simultaneously positive results in both of sera and nasal swabs. According to this result, it was found that the serum specimen was the most appropriate sample for detection of PCMV by PCR. The nucleotide sequence homology of DNA polymerase gene of PCMV KS1 as compared with the reference strain of PCMV (GenBank accesson no.AF027217) was 99.0%.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ciprofloxacin (CFX) on treatment of the pigs with respiratory diseases or diarrhea, CFX at various dosages were administered intramuscularly to the diseased pigs selected from the pig farms located in Chungnam province. One hundreds and fourteen heads of pigs with respiratory diseases were divided into five groups and CFX at 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 ( = 2.5mg CFX/Kg B.W.) and 2.0 doses were administered i.m. for 5 days. The recovery rates were found 31.8%, 73.9%, 91.3% and 92.0%, respectively, being higher than that of the untreated control group (19.0%). The mortality of the treated groups were 0%, that is lower than that of the control (9.5%). Seven kinds of bacteria were isolated from the respiratory organs of 86 pigs, and 34 (39.5%) of 86 pigs showed the complicated infection. In analyzing by the pigs infected with a single pathogen as P. multocida, A. pleuropneumonia, Staphylclcoccus spp. or Mycoplasma spp., the recovery rates were 0∼66.6% at 0.25 dose. 66.6∼100% at 0.5 dose and 100% in all of 4 pathogens at 1.0 to 2.0 doses. At 0.25 dosage the pigs infected with A. pleuropneumonia showed the lowest recovery rate. One hundreds and twenty two heads of pigs with diarrhea were divided into five groups and CFX at 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 ( = 2.5mg CFX/Kg B.W.) and 2.0 doses were administered i.m. for 5 days. The recovery rates were 29.1%, 40.0%, 80.0% and 88.0%, respectively. The mortality of the treated groups were 0-8.3%, being much lower than that of the control. Four kinds of bacteria were isolated from the fecal specimens of 94 pigs, and 84 (89.0%) of 94 pigs showed the complicated infection.

혈청이 마우스 간 세포주 BNL CL.2의 Nitric Oxide 생성에 미치는 영향

마우스 간 세포주인 BNL CL.2의 시험관내 배양에서 혈청과 IFN-γ가 세포주의 nitric oxide(NO) 생성과 세포 손상에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 실험을 하였다. 혈청이 공급된 배양에서 IFN-γ에 의한 세포 생존율은 거의 변동이 없었으나, 혈청을 제거한 배양에서는 약 65%의 생존율이 유지되었으며, NO 생성 억제제인 N -monomethy-L-arginine (NMA)의 첨가는 농도 의존적으로 세포의 생존율을 감소시켰다. 혈청이 제거된 BNL CL.2세포주는 IFN-γ단독 처리에서도 NO 를 생성할 수 있었으며, IFN-γ와 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)의 복합 처리는 세포주의 NO 생성을 상승적으로 증가시켰다. 또한 protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor인 herbimycin A와 genistein에 의해서 NO 생성이 억제되어 PTK의 활성이 혈청이 고갈된 BNL CL.2 세포에서 NO의 생성에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있기 때문으로 판단된다. IFN-γ의 독성은 혈청을 제거시킬 때 NO 생성 억제제에 상승적으로 간 세포를 손상시키며, 이때 NO가 IFN-γ에 의해 유도된 손상을 어느 정도 억제시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in immunologic defense, and influences upon the functioning of secretory tissues and cells. It also exhibits cytotoxic/cytostatic activity as one of major operating effectors of the cellular immunity system. We investigated the effects of serum on the cell damages and NO production in the mouse liver cell line BNL CL.2 to establish the role of NO. We observed that, when BNL CL.2 cells were cultured in serum-free medium, they were induced to cell damage by the stimulation of IFN-γalone or IFN-γplus LPS. Serumstarved cells showed large amount of nitrite accumulation and NO synthase (NOS) expression in response to IFN-γalone in dose-and time-dependent manners, but serum-supplied cells did not. The production of NO was blocked by protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors, genistein and herbimycin. These results suggest that the deprivation of serum in the BNL CL.2 cell culture medium might primed with the cells to produce NO when the cells are triggered by IFN-γ and the involvement of PTK signal transduction pathway in the expression of NOS gene in murine hepatocytes.

B. abortus 국내 분리주의 분자유전학적 성상을 규명하고 분자역학적 연구에 필요한 기초자료를 얻기 위해 36kDa OMP를 암호하는 omp2b 유전자를 PCR법으로 확인하고,그리고 omp2b 유전자의 핵염기 서열과 아미노산 서열을 결정하고 이 결과를 Brucella 표준균주 및 여러 동물에서 분리된 Brucella 분리주와 상호 비교 분석하였던 바 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. B. abortus 분리 주 (7주)에 대해 omp2b primers를 이용하여 PCR을 수행한 바 공시한 참조균주와 분 리균주 모두에서 1,251bp의 특이한 DNA 절편이 각각 증폭되었다. 2. omp2b 유전자의 1,089bp에 대한 염기서열과 이에 대한 362개의 아미노산 서열을 결정하였다. 분리 균주의 omp2b 유전자의 염기서열을 참조균주와 비교 분석한 결과 B. abortus 2308 (biovar 1) 및 B abortus B3196 (biovar 5)과는 99.6%∼100% 및 99.5%∼99.9%의 매우 높은 상동성을 나타내었고,B. abortus 45/20 (biovar 1)과는 97.1%~97.4%의 상동성을 나타내었다. 또한 362개의 아미노산 서열에 대해 분석하였던 바,분리균주들은 B.abortustus 2308 (biovar 1) 및 B. abortus B3196 (biovar 5)과는 99.2%∼100%의 매우 높은 상동성을 보였으며,B. abortus 45/20 (biovar 1)과는 96.4%∼ 97.2%의 상동성을 보였다. 3. 본 시험에 공사된 브루셈라균주의 omp2b 유전자 서열과 여러 동물에서 분리된 브루셀라 분리주의 자료를 바탕으로 phylogenetic tree를 작성 한 바,국내 분리주는 B. abortus 2308 (biovar 1),B. abortus B3196 (biovar 5),B. abortus 45/20 (biovar 1),B. suis 1330 (biovar 1),B. melitensis 16M (biovar 1),B. canis NCTC 01854,B. neotomae 5K33과 97.3% 이상의 높은 근연성을 보이며 동일한 cluster에 소속되었으며,omp2b 유전자는 매우 잘 보존됨을 알 수 있었다. omp2b gene of Brucella abortus isolates encoding 36kDa outer membrane protein (OMP) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the sequences of nucleotide and amino acid were determined and analyzed to obtain the basic data for molecular epidemiological features of brucellosis in Korea. In PCR using omp2b primers for the gene of 36kDa aMP, the specific signals at 1,251bp were demonstrated, The nucleotide sequences of omp2b gene of 1,089bp were sequenced by dye terminator cycle sequencing method, and 362 amino acid sequences were predicted. As compared the nucleotide sequences with those of B. abortus reference strains, the isolates showed the very high homology to the reference strains ranging 97.1%∼100%. The similar results were also obtained in the analysis of the amino acid sequences. In the phylogenetic tree, the isolates clustered with the reference strains and the majority of strains originated from pig, dog, wood rat and cattle.
