E-mail: geanepagliosa@gmail.com Under general anesthesia and arterial pressure control, twelve horses were submitted simultaneously to intraluminal distension and venous ischemia of jejune for 2 hours, followed by 12 hours of reperfusion. Six horses were treated with intravenous 2% glutamine (50mg/kg), and six others were treated with the same volume of saline solution 1h after the beginning of ischemia and 6 hours after reperfusion. Intestinal samples were collected before and after 2 hours of ischemia and after 2 and 12 hours of reperfusion, and were submitted to hystopatological analyses, ultrastructural examination, measurement of area and number of villi per mm2, and to myeloperoxidases activity. No statistical differences between the groups were found. It was concluded that glutamine did not attenuate the ischemia and reperfusion lesions under the methodology used in this study.

E-mail: cahussni@fmvz.unesp.br Thrombosis of jugular vein is a common problem in the equine medicine, implying frequently in fatal outcomes. The diagnosis is relatively simple, based on the clinical findings, angiographics images and ultrasonographycs. The therapeutic employed to a large extent of the cases is unsatisfactory. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the thrombectomy with Fogarty’s catheter in horses. This technique is routinely used in medicine, in the reestablishment of the vascular perviousness. Ten horses were allocated in two groups (five animals each) and induced to an unilateral thrombosis of right jugular vein, through the surgical access and an application of stenotic suture and glucose 50% injection. In the control group evolution of the thrombophlebitis without any therapeutical intervention was evaluated. The animals of the treatment group were submitted to the thrombectomy with Fogarty’s catheter. General clinical parameters were analyzed at the moment of the preinduction (MPRE), induction of thrombosis (MTI), and at the 10th day of thrombosis evolution (M10). The procedure induced thrombophlebitis that completely obstructed a segment of the jugular vein in all animals. In the animals of the control group, the thrombus totally obstructed the vascular lumen until the end of the period of evaluation, and parotid edema and vascular dilated, cranial to the thrombophlebitis of jugular vein were observed. The treatment group presented all veins pervious in the end of the experiment, with total remission of the clinical signs, confirmed by angiographic and ultrasonographic examinations. So far, it was concluded that the technique of thrombectomy with Fogarty’s catheter was effective in removal of the thrombosis obstruction experimentally induced in the jugular vein.

Four dogs were used, and two animals were submitted the treatment in one session only and the others in two sessions. Premolar teeth were used in this study: second and third upper premolar teeth and second, third and fourth lower premolar teeth were divided into two groups. Opening of the pulp chamber was performed with burns, and the pulp was exposed for 60 days. After this period the group treated in only session was obtured with gutta-percha and zinc oxide and eugenol, and the group treated in two sessions received the CMCP that remained in the canal per 30 days and was afterwards obtured with the material of the other group. Clinical and radiographical control was performed twice a week, and after 60 days a small block containing the teeth, surrounding periapical tissues and the periodontium was removed for histological and microbiological study. Histological analysis revealed intense inflammatory response in both groups. Microbiological analysis showed a more severe microbial reduction in the group treated in one session. However, bacteria were still observed in the two groups, indicating that none of the treatments presented total efficiency.

#46 - Comparison of tripaflavina and dimetridazole in the treatment of bovine trichomoniasis

Abstract in English:

From 115 cattle herds 15 (13.04%) were infected by Tritrichomonas foetus. From 85 bulls 25 (29.07%) were positive for the infection: 12 bulls were treated with the topic use of 1% tripaflavina, anel to the other 13 animals oral doses of 15g/100kg of 30% dimetridazole were administered. Post-treatment examination revealed that both groups of bulls were then free of infection. The results showed that the two treatments were equally efficient.

Abstract in Portuguese:

De 115 rebanhos bovinos, quinze (13,04%) estavam contaminados com Tritrichomonas Joetus. Dos 85 reprodutores examinados pela técnica da microscopia direta do lavado prepucial, 25 (29,07%) estavam infectados: estes animais foram afastados da reprodução e submetidos ao tratamento. Um grupo foi medicado com tripaflavina a 1 % (uso tópico), o outro com dimetridazole a 30%, na dose de 15g/100kg ("per os"). Conseguiu-se a recuperação de todos os touros tratados, comprovado pela realização de três lavados prepuciais consecutivos pós-tratamento e pelos resultados negativos e retorno destes reprodutores à monta natural. A duração entre o início do tratamento e a recuperação do touro infectado levou de 45 a 115 dias. Foi demonstrado pelo teste estatístico do qui-quadrado ao nível de 5%, haver diferença não significativa entre os dois métodos de tratamento.


#47 - Efficiency of Virginiamycin for the recovery of calves from the periodontal disease "Cara inchada"

Abstract in English:

"Cara inchada" of young bovines (CI) is an important economic and health problem for cattle raising in certain areas of newly cultivated pastures in Brazil. Affected calves develop a purulent periodontitis that leads to loss of premolar teeth, mainly of the upper jaw, to emaciation and frequently to death. To study the efficiency of Virginiamycin for the recovery of calves kept on a farm under conditions which led to an prevalence of 61.5% of CI, an experiment was performed. Seventy seven calves with progressive periodontal lesions received orally during 8 consecutive weeks 0.032g of Virginiamycin/animal 3 times a week. Two control groups of diseased non-treated calves were used: the first consisting of 10 calves maintained within the treated group of CI animals and a second group of 95 calves affected by the disease. After the 8 week period the treated calves showed a very good recovery, but there was aggravation of symptoms in the 2 groups of nontreated animals, such as bad odor from the buccal cavity, weight loss, diarrhea and shedding of premolar teeth. It was concluded that Virginiamycin was efficient for the treatment of calves with CI.

Abstract in Portuguese:

A "cara inchada" dos bovinos (CI) constitui-se num importante problema econômico-sanitário da pecuária em determinadas áreas de pastagens recém-formadas no Brasil. Bezerros acometidos desenvolvem uma periodontite purulenta progressiva, levando à perda de dentes pré-molares maxilares. Quando mantidos em propriedades com alta incidência da doença, um considerável número dos animais afetados vem a morrer por emaciação. O presente experimento teve por finalidade verificar a eficácia da Virginiamicina na recuperação de bezerros com CI mantidos sob as condições que levaram a 61,5% de incidência da doença. Assim, 77 bezerros com lesões peridentárias progressivas receberam durante 8 semanas consecutivas, por via oral, 0,032g de Virginiamicina por dose, 3 vezes por semana. Como controle foram utilizados dois grupos: um constituído por 10 bezerros que permaneceram no mesmo lote de tratamento, porém sem receber a Virginiamicina, e outro, por 95 bezerros, todos mantidos nas mesmas condições sob as quais ocorreu a doença na propriedade. Ao final do período de administração do antibiótico, o lote tratamento apresentou melhora acentuada, ao passo que os animais dos outros dois lotes tiveram agravamento do quadro, com perda de dentes, mau odor da cavidade bucal, diarréia e emagrecimento progressivo. Concluiu-se que a Virginiamicina foi eficiente na recuperação de bezerros acometidos pela CI, quando estes parâmetros foram considerados.


#48 - Intermittent treatment of bovine tuberculosis with isoniazid

Abstract in English:

An intennittent treatment regímen for bovine tuberculosis with isoniazid was used. Fifty five positive and 13 suspect reactors were treated orally with cristalized isoniazid (25 mg/kg bw) mixed in a concentrated ration given 3 times a week, during 6 months. The cure of the tuberculosis was evaluated after the treatment by allergic desensitization with comparative tuberculinizations performed in 3 months intervals, during a year. The monitoring showed progressive reduction of the allergic sensitivity until definitive disappearance, At 90 days pos-treatment there were 31 negative, 19 suspect and 18 positive reactors; at 180 days, 47 were negative, 10 suspect and 11 positive; at 270 days, 51 were negative, 12 suspect and 5 weakly positive, and at 360 days, 63 were negative, 5 suspect and no one anymore positive. As it was demonstrated experimentally, the pos-treatment suspect reactors may be considered infection-free and so the cure rate was 100 percent. This experiment showed that the intennittent 3 week dosages were as good as the continuous regímen with the advantage of about 40 percent cost reduction.

Abstract in Portuguese:

Foi adotado um regime de tratamento intermitente da tuberculose com isoniazida em 55 bovinos reagentes positivos e 13 suspeitos, A isoniazida em forma de sal cristalizado foi fornecida aos animais misturada em ração concentrada, em doses de 25 mg/kg p.v., nas 2. as, 4. as e 6. as feiras, durante 6 meses. A cura da tuberculose foi avaliada pela dessensibilização alérgica, após o término do tratamento através de tuberculinizações comparativas realizadas de 3 em 3 meses, durante um ano. Este monitoramento revelou progressiva redução da sensibilidade alérgica até o desaparecimento definitivo. Aos 90 dias pós-tratamento já havia 31 (45,5%) bovinos negativos, 19 (27,9%) suspeitos e 18 (26,4%) positivos; aos 180 dias, 47 (69,1%) negativos, 10 (14,7%) suspeitos e 11 (15,1%) positivos; aos 270 dias, 51 (75,0%) negativos, 12 (17,6%) suspeitos e 5 (7,3%) positivos e aos 360 dias, 63 (92,6%) negativos, 5 (7,3%) suspeitos e nenhum mais positivo. Como os reagentes suspeitos, no final do tratamento podem ser considerados livres da infecção, o percentual de curas foi de 100%, mostrando que o tratamento intermitente com 3 dosagens de isoniazida semanais foi tão eficiente quanto o regime contínuo. O regime intermitente reduziu de 120 para 80 o número de doses administradas e reduziu o custo em 40%.


#49 - Massal treatment of bovine tuberculosis with isoniazid

Abstract in English:

There were 409 bovines in a Swiss Brown-cattle herd in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, reacting positively to the tuberculin test. The tuberculosis was confirmed by necropsy, histopathological and bacteriological procedures. The infected animals were treated with purê crystalised isoniazid, administered orally at a dose of about 25 mg/kg/day, during 60 days consecutively and other 60 doses 3 times a week. The large number of reactors did not allow individual medication. Therefore treatment at a large scale was used in groups of animals varying in weight up to 100 kg. Isoniazid was mixed mechanically, daily, and applied at 12 g per 1 kg of high palatable concentrated ration, furnished in long double troughs. The quantity of feed was calculated based on the media of live weight and the numbers of animals in each group. The clinically affected animals showed recuperation starting with the second month of treatment. Thirty days after the end of the treatment the allergic monitoration began by comparative tuberculinizations at intervals of 2 to 3 months. The cure was evaluated by the gradual tuberculin desensitization. In most animals the tuberculin reactions became negative after 2 to 4 months post-treatment. At the end of this experiment 96.4% of the treated animals were cured. In slaughtered animals no lesions were found.

Abstract in Portuguese:

Num rebanho de bovinos da raça suíça parda, em Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, foram encontrados 409 animais reagentes positivos na tuberculinização comparativa com tuberculinas PPDs bovina e aviária. A tuberculose foi confirmada por exames necroscópicos, histopatológicos e bacteriológicos em animais vitimados pela doença. Os bovinos infectados foram submetidos ao tratamento com isoniazida pura, cristalizada, administrada por via oral, na dose de aproximadamente 25 mg/kg pv, durante 60 dias consecutivos e mais 60 doses dadas, em dias alternados, 3 vezes por semana. Face ao grande número, não foi possível medicar cada animal individualmente, optando-se pelo tratamento massal, em lotes de até 80 animais cujo peso variava até 100 kg. A isoniazida era misturada mecanicamente na proporção de 12 g para 1 kg de ração concentrada com alta palatibilidade, fornecida aos animais em cochos coletivos duplos em que cada animal livremente procurava o alimento. A quantidade de ração era calculada a base do peso médio e do número de animais do lote, de modo que cada animal, ao comer o alimento, estava ingerindo sua dose terapêutica de isoniazida. Durante o período da medicação, os animais clinicamente portadores de sintomas de tuberculose, mostravam sua recuperação a partir do segundo mês em diante. Trinta dias após o término da medicação foi iniciado o monitoramento alérgico pela tuberculinização comparativa com intervalos de 2 a 3 meses. A cura da tuberculose foi avaliada pela gradual dessensibilização à tuberculina. Na maioria dos animais tratados a reação caiu para níveis negativos entre 2 e 4 meses após o término da medicação. No final do trabalho experimental verificou-se que 96,4% dos animais tratados estavam curados. A cura foi confirmada pela inspeção sanitária em animais abatidos em matadouro.


#50 - Susceptibility of Haemonchus spp. in cattle to anthelmintic treatment with Albendazole and Oxfendazole

Abstract in English:

Sixteen holstein male calves, 6-10 months old, were allocated according to fecal egg counts to four treatments with four animals each and were treated as follows: Oxfendazole 2.5 mg/kg, Albendazole 5 mg/kg, Albendazole 7.5 mg/kg and undrenched controls. Seven days after treatment all animals were slaughtered for worm counting. The anthelmintic efficacy of the drugs were superior to 90% against Trichostrongylus axei, Ostertagia spp. and Cooperia spp. However, against Haemonchus the worm reduction was only 60% to Oxfendazole 2.5 mg/kg and 81% and 88% to Albendazole 5 and 7.5 mg/kg, respectively. The commercial suspensions used were found to have the concentrations indicated on the label and considering their low efficacies on Haemonchus it is concluded that this strain is partially resistant to these benzimidazoles.

Abstract in Portuguese:

Dezesseis bezerros machos da raça holandesa, com 6 a 10 meses de idade, foram distribuídos de acordo com as contagens de ovos nas fezes em quatro tratamentos compostos de quatro animais cada. Os animais foram submetidos aos seguintes tratamentos: Oxfendazole 2,5 mg/kg, Albendazole 5 mg/kg, Albendazole 7,5 mg/kg e lote controle. A eficácia anti-helmíntica dos produtos foi superior a 90% contra Trichostrongylus axei, Ostertagia spp. e Cooperia spp. Entretanto, contra Haemonchus a redução foi somente de 60% para o Oxfendazole 2,5 mg/kg e de 81% e 88% para o Albendazole a 5 e 7,5 mg/kg, respectivamente. Os produtos comerciais usados estavam na concentração indicada pelos fabricantes e a baixa eficácia em Haemonchus permite concluir que esta estirpe é parcialmente resistente àqueles benzimidazóis.
