Three trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Linco-Spectin (LS) water medication on Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) air-sacculitis in broilers under controlled experimental conditions. Day-old chicks were vaccinated against infectious bronchitis and Newcastle disease virus and exposed to a broth culture of MS by the respiratory route. In each trial, one-half of the flock was treated with 2 g of LS per gallon of drinking water for the first five days of life, and the other half was kept as a control. At two and eight weeks postinoculation (PI) birds were weighted individually and examined serologically, culturally, and grossly for MS airsacculitis. Linco-Spectin water medication was effective in controlling MS airsacculitis in broilers.

Serum plate (SP) and tube agglutination (TA) reactions and geometric mean Mycoplasma synoviae (Ms.) hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) titers were determined on chickens infected at 21 days of age with Ms. by foot pad, air sac and aerosol. One-half had been given Newcastle disease (ND) and infectious bronchitis (IB) vaccine in the water at 20 days of age, and the other half had not been vaccinated with ND and IB vaccine. Blood was taken at 3, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after Ms. infection. Geometric mean HI titers were determined on serums of chickens that had a foot pad injection of Ms. 8 weeks after Ms. infection and were bled at 1, 3 and 5 weeks after foot pad booster. Three weeks after aerosol exposure with Ms., the geometric mean HI titer was significantly higher in the ND- and IB-vaccinated birds than in the nonvaccinated birds. In the Ms. air sac-infected group of nonvaccinated birds the geometric mean HI titer had increased significantly 3 weeks after food pad challenge with Ms. In the Ms. air sac-infected group of vaccinated birds, the geometric mean HI titer had significantly increased 3 and 5 weeks after foot pad challenge with Ms.

In a part of the broiler flocks vaccinated against Newcastle disease (N.C.D) and infectious bronchitis (I.B.), disease symptoms of lingering nature have been observed, generally in the second half of the rearing period. In a practical investigation with weekly examinations of chickens, supplemented by a serological examination of twenty-four animals per flock at the age of six weeks, it was hoped to establish the factors responsible for this "vaccination reaction". In the district under notice the vaccination reaction syndrome had been responsible for widspread abandoning of twice spraying against N.C.D. in the first and fourth week in favour of drinking-water vaccination (generally combined with I.B. vaccination) in the second week and spray-vaccination in the fourth week or of combined drinking-water vaccination in the second week, either with or without N.C.D. drinking-water vaccination in the fourth week. Admittedly the incidence of vaccination reaction in flocks vaccinated exclusively via the drinking water was less frequent (32%) than in flocks in which the second vaccination was administered as a spray (48%), but this difference was largely accounted for by infection with Mycoplasma gallisepticum and/or Mycoplasma synoviae, complicated by infection with Escherichia coli. Of the thirty-three flocks free of mycoplasmosis, 24% exhibited the vaccination reaction, while the incidence to the fifteen infected flocks was 73.4%. In flocks infected with mycoplasmosis the course of E. coli infections was serious in 46.7% of the birds, while this figure was 18.2% in flocks free of mycoplasmosis. In flocks free of mycoplasmosis, the percentage of serious E. coli infections was lower after spray vaccination (14.3%) than after drinking-water vaccination (21%). The strains of E. coli brought in by one-day chicks from the hatchery disappear rapidly and play no role of any significance in the problem of colibacillosis observed at an age of three weeks or older. Of the 310 isolated strains of E. coli, 52 could not be typed and the others belonged to eighty different serotypes. With respect to the effect of infectious bronchitis the investigation does not provide sufficient evidence to permit of drawing conclusions. A significant role in the occurrence of the syndrome was played by coccidiosis and Gumboro's disease. With respect to environmental factors the available data did not allow of drawing conclusions. The authors recommend continuing with all available means to free the breeding animals from M. gallisepticum and M. synoviae, undertaking scientifically based research into the role of infectious bronchitis in the "vaccination reaction" syndrome, an effective programme of hygiene to control E...

Three groups of chicks were vaccinated by aerosol, intra-ocular and drinking water routes with a live infectious bronchitis (IB) vaccine. At one, two, six, 15 and 32 weeks after vaccination five birds from each group were sampled for testing for IB haemagglutination-inhibiting (HI) antibodies and challenged. Assessment of susceptibility to infection was measured by recovery of virus from individual tracheas and from kidney and gonad pools four days after challenge. Virus was isolated from all kidney and gonad pools of birds challenged one week after vaccination, the kidney and gonad pools of the drinking water vaccinates at two weeks, the kidney pool of the intra-ocular group at 15 weeks and all organ pools except the gonads of the intra-ocular group at 32 weeks. Tracheal resistance was found in most of the birds challenged one week after vaccination and in all the birds tested at two weeks but had begun to wane by six weeks after vaccination. No correlation was found between low HI antibody titres of individual birds and their susceptibility to challenge measured by reisolation of virus from the traches, but birds with titres over log2 6 were always resistant.

Seven cases of submersion in the Dead Sea are described. The clinical picture varied in severity and consisted of signs of pulmonary edema, chemical bronchitis, hypermagnesemia and hemoconcentration. Two of the patients died of hypotension and cardiac arrhythmia. The clinical findings were similar to those found in cases of drowning in seawather, but the presence of hypermangesemia is unique to this entity. The amount of aspirated water causing severe clinical signs seemed to be much smaller than is seen with ordinary seawater. Therapeutic guidelines, including assisted respiration, infusion of hypotonic solutions and corticosteroid therapy, are suggested.

1. Body weight was measured through forty consecutive illnesses in seventeen patients with oedema in association with chronic bronchitis and hypoxia. All patients were taking diuretic drugs at the time. 2. Body weight increased little as peripheral oedema and a raised jugular venous pressure appeared. The subsequent weight-loss during treatment was usually greater than the pre-treatment weight-gain. Body weight increased slowly in convalescence to equal or exceed hospital admission weight without a deterioration of general health or reappearance of oedema. 3. Total body water, exchangeable sodium and exchangeable potassium were measured in patients after treatment of the acute illness and clearance of oedema and again in six patients of the group 2-3 months later in convalescence. Total exchangeable sodium was normal or slightly reduced after treatment of oedema and in convalescence between recurrent acute illnesses. Even when gross oedema was present exchangeable sodium was substantially increased in only one of three patients studied at this stage. Total exchangeable potassium was invariably severely depressed. 4. Large changes of body tissue weight without comparable change in exchangeable sodium support previous evidence that oedema in hypoxic bronchitis is not simply a further form of congestive cardiac failure. 5. It is suggested that at least some of the tissue loss in acute exacerbations is a direct result of hypoxaemia and similar to that observed at high altitude. Part of the oedema fluid is thought to be derived from intracellular water released during dissolution of tissue matrix.

Each year in France, 42,000 children receive spa therapy, which is covered by the national health care insurance system. In over three cases out of four, the treatment is ordered by the child's physician for respiratory tract disease which fails to respond adequately to conventional therapy. Asthma, recurrent bronchitis, and spasmodic cough are the main indications in pneumo-allergology; seromucous otitis media, naso-sinusitis and refractory pharyngitis are the most common pediatric ENT diseases treated in spa centers. The two main types of mineral water used are sulfur-rich waters in patients with prominent infection and chloride and bicarbonate-rich waters when allergy is the main problem. Experimental studies point to the fact that these waters have immunomodulating effects. However, other therapeutic interventions in spa centers, including rehabilitation and health education, also play a role. Evaluations of spa therapy for respiratory tract diseases carried out by government agencies have demonstrated decreases in school absenteeism and above all in the use of drugs in treated patients. The future of pediatric spa therapy will likely depend on the development of preventive interventions in spa centers.

The article provides the results of studies of 167 cases affected with occupationally-related pneumoconiosis and dust bronchitis. 117 patients were treated with complex resort therapy including under-water massage, and 50 patients were given the same complex therapy without shower massage. The effectiveness of the therapeutic techniques were evaluated basing on both objective and subjective criteria, including supplementary laboratory and functional techniques. The results were positive in both groups, but in the major group, the favourable shifts were more expressed but statistically were not reliable. Thus, the underwater shower massage may be regarded as a positive but not decisive factor in the complex resort treatment of occupational diseases of lungs.

Coarse-spray (CS) administration of a commercial S1133 reovirus vaccine in chickens for prevention of clinical viral tenosynovitis (VT) infection was evaluated. In Expt. 1, one-day-old specific-pathogen-free (SPF) white leghorns were vaccinated with a combination of reovirus, Newcastle disease (ND), and infectious bronchitis (IB) vaccines by CS and infectious bursal disease vaccine by the subcutaneous (SQ) route. In Expt. 2, one-day-old commercial broilers were vaccinated by CS with reovirus vaccine and Marek's disease (MD) vaccine by SQ. In Expt. 3, one-day-old commercial broilers received reovirus vaccine in combination with ND-IB vaccines at 1 day of age by CS and MD vaccine by SQ. Some birds received an initial or second vaccination at 7 days of age by CS or the drinking-water (DW) route. Birds vaccinated by CS at 1 day of age with reovirus vaccine did not produce circulating virus-neutralizing antibody against reovirus, although they had resistance to VT infection. In contrast, initial or booster vaccination at 7 days of age by CS or DW resulted in an antibody response and greater resistance to challenge than did CS vaccination at 1 day of age. There was no difference in efficacy between CS and DW routes at 7 days of age. The reovirus vaccine did not interfere with other vaccines as measured by serologic (ND-IB-IBD) or challenge (MD) studies.

The experiment was designed to test the effect of Jia Wei Yubingfengsan (JW-YBFS) in chronic bronchitis of mice model. Two groups of mice model was used, one of which received JW-YBFS by oral administration another received only water as control experiment. The accurate quantification of bacterial adhesiveness by culture method showed that in JW-YBFS receiving mice viable counts of bacteria is much less than the control mice. In addition pathological examination showing the injury of tracheate mucosal epithelium was not found in JW-YBFS receiving mice while control mice showing typical chronic bronchitis lesion. The results demonstrated that JW-YBFS plays significantly role in bronchitis mice model. Our experimental data are in good agreement with Chinese medical conclusion, which means Fu Zheng Gu Ben.
