1. The hematology and blood chemistry of 15-68-day-old chicks have been studied. 2. Red cell numbers (1,900,000/mm3), hemoglobin content (11.5 g/dl) and hematocrit (37.5) were similar in both species of storks. 3. Total numbers of leucocytes (63,000/mm3) were similar in both species, whilst differential leucocyte counts were not. 4. Higher levels of plasma protein, GOT and cholesterol in HDL were found in white storks when compared with black storks but not differences were detected in plasma levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, urea, uric acid, GPT and alkaline phosphatase.

The intraosseous route is an emergency alternative to the IV route for the administration of drugs and fluids. Another emergency function of intravascular access is obtaining blood samples for blood gases, laboratory studies, and blood cultures. One of the drawbacks to using the intraosseous route as an alternative to IV access has been the persistent need to establish IV access to obtain blood samples. We obtained bone marrow samples from ten healthy anesthetized dogs and analyzed the usefulness of the samples in providing meaningful laboratory studies when compared with simultaneous arterial and venous samples for blood electrolytes, blood chemistries, blood gases, and hemoglobin. There was no significant difference (P greater than .10) in blood electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, and carbon dioxide) drawn from the intraosseous, arterial, and venous sites. The blood chemistries (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorous, uric acid, total bilirubin, and SGOT) also were not significantly different (P greater than .10). Significant differences were obtained for glucose comparing intraosseous with arterial (P = .03), whereas intraosseous versus venous was only marginally significant (P = .06). Significant differences were also obtained for alkaline phosphatase when comparing intraosseous with arterial (P = .03), whereas comparison with venous was only marginally significant (P = .06): lactate dehydrogenase differences were marginally significant when comparing intraosseous with arterial (P = .09) and venous (P = .06) blood. Hemoglobin values were not significantly different when comparing results for the three sites (P greater than .25).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Bone marrow involvement was seen in 11 percent of patients with Hodgkin's Disease which was determined from pre-treatment biopsy specimens using established histopathologic criteria. Analysis of 32 evaluable patients with marrow involvement showed male preponderance with a peak in fourth decade of life. Twenty four cases (75%) had B-symptoms and 15 (46%) presented within six months of onset of symptoms. On categorizing for clinical staging, 21 (65%) belonged to stage III and IV. Hepatomegaly (greater than or equal to 2 cms) was present in seven cases (21%) and splenomegaly in 13 cases (40%). Mixed cellularity and lymphocytic depletion histopathologic subtypes showed the highest frequency of involvement (21 cases; 65%). Out of 28 cases ESR was raised in 27 cases (96%). Eighteen cases (56%) showed elevated serum alkaline phosphatase levels. Serum copper levels were determined in 14 cases, out of which 12 (85%) showed elevated levels. These parameters along with anemia (hemoglobin of 12 g/dl or less) in 26 cases (81%), correlated well with the disease activity. Only four cases had leukopenia at presentation pointing to no hindrance for aggressive chemotherapy. All cases received minimum of six courses of standard combination chemotherapy with or without local radiotherapy. Sixteen cases (50%) relapsed subsequently and were managed accordingly. A five year follow-up revealed a minimal 31 percent overall survival, and 18 percent of patients were disease free and well since the time of treatment.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Four multiparous Holstein cows were utilized to determine the effects of high doses of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbSt) on milk production, feed intake, somatotropin concentration in milk, blood and urine constituents and the presence or absence of treatment-related lesions. Treatments were 0 (control) or 430 mg rbSt daily for 21 days as im injections beginning approximately 150 days into lactation. Cows were fed concentrate according to level of milk production and corn silage ad libitum. Milk yield of rbSt-treated cows increased 34% while dry matter intake and net energy intake decreased. Serum and milk bSt concentrations were elevated following treatment. Red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit decreased in rbSt-treated cows; however, values remained within the normal range. Blood urea nitrogen concentration was decreased following treatment. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity, insulin and glucose concentrations were increased in 1 treated cow. No changes were observed in serum thyroxine, cortisol or bSt antibody concentrations. Evidence of irritation at the injection site was examined microscopically and was consistent with irritant swelling. Fetuses of rbSt-treated cows were normal, and cows did not abort. No serious adverse effects were observed following daily injections of 430 mg rbSt.

A feed loading experiment was applied in 2 phases to 45 young cocks over 12 weeks, using 1.2 (N, N-bis/methylmercury/-p-toluolsulphamide)-dressed wheat (50% of base ration). The experimental animals were White-Leghorn laying hybrids. Investigations were conducted to study the effects of exclusive exposure to mercury and those of mercury with addition of 0.2 mg of sodium selenite/l drinking water on biochemical parameters (calcium, phosphorus, total protein, albumin, creatinine, urea, activity of alkaline phosphatase, hematocrit, hemoglobin, and leucocyte count) as well as on parameters relating to toxicological residues (selenium and mercury levels in liver, musculature, and kidneys). Statistically secured differences were found to exist between the experimental groups with regard to selenium and mercury in the liver and mercury concentrations in kidneys. These data have shown that the problem of residualisation cannot be solved by selenium supplementation in parallel to methylmercury loading. The results recorded are likely to confirm the need for a general ban on feeding mercury-dressed seed.

The health status of broilers fed diets with varying protein contents in the presence of ochratoxin A (OA) were evaluated using clinical-chemistry techniques for blood analysis. A completely randomized, 3 x 4 factorial design was utilized: 14, 18, 22, and 26% of dietary protein and 0, 2, and 4 mg/kg of OA. The broilers were raised to 3 wk of age, at which time blood was collected and various hematological parameters were evaluated. The serum was analyzed for various enzyme activities and for concentrations of metabolites and minerals using an automated, clinical-chemistry analyzer and an atomic-absorption spectrophotometer. Adding OA to the diets of broilers decreased the hemoglobin concentration, corpuscular volume, and the activity of serum alkaline and phosphatase but increased the activity of gamma-glutamyl transferase. Adding protein to the diet increased the activity of the serum aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, and alkaline phosphatase. Adding OA to the diet of broilers decreased the concentrations of serum total protein, as well as the concentrations of albumen and cholesterol and increased the concentrations of serum creatinine and uric acid. The concentrations of serum total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen, and triglyceride were increased by adding protein to the diet. The concentrations of calcium, potassium, and inorganic phosphorus in the serum decreased when OA was added to the diet; but the concentrations of calcium and potassium content in the serum increased along with dietary protein. A regression analysis suggested that dietary protein was synergistic toward OA with regard to the blood levels of cholinesterase, lactate dehydrogenase, and glucose.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of intravenous injection of an essential trace-element preparation (TE-5) on iron, zinc, copper and manganese concentrations, and blood biochemical and hematological parameters in rats. The rats were treated by intravenous injection of TE-5 for 7 days and the following results were obtained: 1) Neither a 0.04 nor a 0.4 ml/kg/day injection of TE-5 affected the iron, zinc, copper and manganese concentrations in tissues. 2) At a higher dose (1.2 ml/kg/day), iron concentrations in liver and spleen, zinc concentrations in liver, kidney, tibia and plasma, copper concentrations in heart, kidney and whole blood, and manganese concentrations in brain, heart, spleen, kidney, femoral muscle, tibia and whole blood increased. 3) At the highest does (4 ml/kg/day), all rats died and iron, zinc, copper and manganese concentrations in tissues increased remarkably. 4) With injections of TE-5 (0.04-1.2 ml/kg/day), hemoglobin, hematocrit, alkaline phosphatase activity and blood urea nitrogen decreased slightly. These results suggest that iron, zinc, copper and manganese concentrations, and blood biochemical and hematological parameters are maintained at doses up to 0.4 ml/kg/day of TE-5, but that doses higher than that destroy homeostasis.

Twelve male M. fascicularis monkeys were divided into two groups of 6 animals each. One group (BASAL) was fed a diet containing 24% protein, 38% carbohydrate and 20% fat, while the other group (ATHER) received an identical diet with the addition of 4.08 g/kg diet cholesterol. The animals were studied over a 4-year period. Blood samples were regularly collected, ECGs taken and carotid artery status evaluated by duplex ultrasound scanning. Lipid xanthomas were monitored by visual inspection. The ATHER group experienced a rapid and sustained rise in serum total cholesterol, concomitant with depression of HDL-cholesterol. In general, triglycerides were significantly higher in ATHER animals. Routine clinical analysis revealed lower hematocrit and hemoglobin, and elevated BUN and alkaline phosphatase in the treated group. Lipid xanthomas were detected early in the ATHER animals, progressing until infiltration was evident on the entire body surface. There were no differences in ECGs between the groups. At approximately 17 months posttreatment, stenosis was apparent in the carotid arteries of treated animals, rising to an average of 90% at study termination. These results indicate that diet-induced carotid atherosclerosis can be monitored non-invasively in the primate with minimum risk to the animal.

A procedure for the selective fractionation of the bone and liver alkaline phosphatase activity in tissue extracts and human sera is proposed. Optimized conditions of the assay are: urea 3.7 mol/l in 0.5 mol/l DEA buffer, pH 9.8; 0.5 mmol/l MgCl2; 10.0 mmol/l p-nitrophenyl phosphate. The sample is diluted 1:20 in the reagent solution and the activity is recorded for 10 min at 37 degrees C. By means of a computerized or manual graphic analysis, based on 'peeling-off' the exponentials, the two differently urea-sensitive subforms are identified and the slow-(liver) and the fast-decaying (bone) activities are easily discriminated and their respective values calculated. Interference due to the intestinal isoenzyme can be also accounted for. The analytical variability is very satisfactory (within run CV = 7.5 and 4.5% for osseous and hepatic form, respectively; day-to-day CV less than 10% for both). The lower limits of detection are about 10 U/l and the serum or plasma reference values together with the influence on the assay of hemoglobin and protein content are also investigated.

After racing 722 m, 16 Greyhounds were evaluated to determine changes in hematologic, biochemical, blood-gas, and acid-base values following exercise. Values were determined before racing (T0), immediately after racing (T1), and 3 hours after racing (T2). Significant changes detected immediately after racing included increased heart rate, respiratory rate, and rectal temperature. Significant changes in hematologic values included increases in PCV, total plasma protein, hemoglobin, RBC, WBC, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. Change was not detected in values for monocytes, eosinophils, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio. Other increases included those for plasma concentrations of sodium, chloride, calcium, lactic acid, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and glucose. Concentrations of potassium and urea did not change. Measurement of blood-gas and acid-base status revealed significant increases in PaO2 and base deficit, whereas PaCO2, pH, and bicarbonate decreased. Three hours after exercise, all vital signs and blood-gas and acid-base values, except for PaCO2, which was still slightly low, had returned to baseline (T0) values. Most biochemical values had also returned to baseline, although sodium, chloride, aspartate transaminase, and creatine kinase were still high, and urea was low. Many hematologic values were still different from baseline values, with high values for WBC, neutrophils and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and low values for PCV, total plasma protein, hemoglobin, RBC, and lymphocytes.
