The results indicated that Streptococcus in/ae was extremely sensitive to Calla Chinensis, Fructus Hippophae and Fructus Murne, highly sensitive to Sappan Lignum, Pericarpium Granati, Folium Eucalypti and Radix Scutellariae, moderately sensitive to Rh/zoma Coptidis, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Flos Caryophyllata, Cortex phellodendri and Rabdosia serra ( Maxim. ) Hara, and insensitive to Herba Portulacae , Herba Houttuyniae , Polygonum hydropiper L. , Herba Menthae , Radix Glycyrrhizae , Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae , Herba Andrographitis and Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii. Chinese medicinal herbs which Streptococcus iniae was extremely sensitive or moderately sensitive to were selected and prepared into three Chinese herbal medicine formulae for medicated bath of Oreochromis niloticus infected arti- ficially with Streptococcus iniae. The results showed that medicated bath elicited therapeutic effects on infected Oreochromis niloticus. Formula II exhibited the best therapeutic effect with an effective percentage of 90%.展开更多

[Method] Total DNA was extracted with TRIzon reagent, TNF-α mRNA was amplified, and the amplification products were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis and imaging. [Result] 50 μg/ml EPS could partially inhibited the production of IL-α mRNA by IEC-6 under the stimulation of LPS, while the inhibition of 2(10 and 500 μg/ml EPS on the level of IL-1α mRNA gradually increased with the concentration increasing; and IEC-6 cells pretreated with 50,100,200 and 500 μg/ml EPS for 24 h and then stimulated by 10 μml IPS for 1 and 4 h were analyzed by RT-PCR method, and it was found that the expression of IL-α mRNA induced by LPS could be effectively inhibited by EPS, and the inhibition rate at 4 h was higher than that at 1 h. [ Conclusion] EPS could play its role of protecting intestinal mucosa by inhibiting the secretion of IL-1α mRNA by cells under the stimulation of LPS, and such inhibition effects of EPS had concentration dependency and time dependency.展开更多

[ Method] Eighteen piglets with reserpine-induced spleen deficiency and diarrhea were selected and randomly divided into three groups, six per group, including Guchang Cuzhang powder group, Smeeta group and spleen deficiency control group. Piglets in two drug adnfinistration groups were treated for 7 d using Guchang Cuzhang powder and Smecta, respectively. On the 2nd d and 8th d after drug withdrawal, three piglets in each group were euthanized by jugular vein bleeding to death. Intestine segments in different groups were collected for paraffin embedding, section preparation and HE staining, to conduct histological observation and count the number of small intestinal epithelial lymphocytes. [ Result ] Compared with the spleen deficiency control group, the number of lymphocytes in small intestinal epithelium of piglets in two drug administration groups increased significantly; in addition, the number of lymphocytes in small intestinal epithelium of piglets in Guchang Cuzhang powder group was significantly higher than that in Smecta group. [ Conclusion ] This study provided theoretical basis for the clinical applieation of Guchang Cuzhang powder and Smecta.展开更多

In order to identify the pathogen inducing the disease and death of the white feather broilers, samples such as livers and joint pus were collected from dead broilers under sterile condition, and one pathogenic strain was isolated. The isolate was identified to be Staphylococcus aureus through isolated culture, morphologic observation, inspection of biochemical property and animal test. The drug sensitivity test showed that the isolate was sensitive to ceftazidime, enrofloxacin, ceftriaxone, lincomycin and amikacin, but resistant to other drugs to different degrees.展开更多

[ Method] Ten strains were isolated from milk samples produced by diseased dairy cows suffering from mastitis for morphologic observation, culture characteristic investigation, biochemical identification and Lancefield grouping. The isolated strains were identified at the molecular level by nested-PCR. [ Result] Among the ten isolates, six strains were 13-hemolytic and Gram-positive on blood agar, belonging to Lancefield group B, which were identified as Streptococcus agalactiae by biochemical identification and nested-PCR. After overnight incubation, the coincidence rate between results of nested-PCR detection and biochemical identification reached 100%. [ Conclusion ] Bacterial incubation, rapid DNA extraction and specific PCR can provide basis for early epidemiological survey of Streptococcus agalactiae infection in cattle.展开更多

[ Method] By using paraffin embedding, section slicing and HE staining, histopathological changes in the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and small intestine tissues of three diseased geese were observed. [ Result] The liver generated protein fiber membranes, showing liver cell degeneration, increasing number of red blood cells in sinusoids and liver congestion; the kidney had relatively serious lesions, including renal tubular epithelial cell degeneration, necrosis and shedding from the basement membrane and hyaline degeneration of glomerulars. The lung showed epithelial cell degeneration and necrosis and was filled with a large number of red blood cells and shedded epithelial cells, showing typical red hepatization; a large number of red blood ceils were aggregated in pulmonary blood vessels, resulting in lung congestion. Epithelial ceils of various digestive tubes all showed varying degrees of minor shed- ding and local infiltration of inflammatory ceils, thereby leading to death of geese due to substance metabolism, electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders and metabolic acidosis. [ Conclusion] Based on epidemiology survey, clinical symptom observation, pathological necropsy and laboratory diagnosis, the diseased geese were confirmed to be suffering from E. coli disease.展开更多

By bacterial isolation and culture,morphological observation,biochemical test and pathogenicity test,the isolated strain was identified as pathogenic E. coli. [Results]The pathogen causing diarrhea in minks was confirmed as a pathogenic E. coli strain. Drug sensitivity test indicated that the isolated pathogenic E. coli strain was highly sensitive to ceftazidime,cefotaxime,enrofloxacin,florfenicol and cephradine,moderately sensitive to ampicillin,ciprofloxacin,amikacin,doxycycline,lincomycin and gentamycin,and resistant to amoxycillin,neomycin,spectinomycin,polymyxin and penicillin. [Conclusions] This study provided reference for the prevention and control of abortion in female minks in Qinhuangdao region.
