Diagnosis of Canine Tumours and the Value of Combined Detection of VEGF, P53, SF and NLRP3 for the Early Diagnosis of Canine Mammary Carcinoma.

The average life of a dog is generally maintained at ten to fifteen years, and tumours are the predominant reason that leads to the death of dogs, especially canine mammary carcinoma. Therefore, early diagnosis of tumours is very important. In this study, tumor size, morphology, and texture could be seen through general clinical examination, tumor metastasis could be seen through imaging examination, inflammatory reactions could be seen through hematological examination, and abnormal cell morphology could be seen through cytological and histopathological examination.

Research progress of good markers for canine mammary carcinoma.

Purpose: Mammary gland tumors are the most common neoplastic diseases in elderly female dogs, about 50% of which are considered to be malignant. Canine mammary tumors are similar to human breast cancers in many respects, so canine mammary tumors are frequently studied alongside human breast cancer. This article mentioned KI-67, HER-2, COX-2, BRCA1, BRCA2, P53, CA15-3, MicroRNA, Top2α and so on.

Isolation, Identification and Antimicrobial Resistance Analysis of Canine Oral and Intestinal Resistant to Colistin.

Now, the antibiotic resistance of oral and intestinal microbiota from dog origins remains unclear in China.

Identification of canine mammary tumor-associated metabolites using untargeted metabolomics.

The canine mammary tumor is the most common tumor type in female dogs and seriously threatens their life. Currently, no effective treatments are available for this condition. Hence, it is essential to identify biomarkers that positively influence the early diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of this disease.

Identification of Canine Pyometra-Associated Metabolites Using Untargeted Metabolomics.

Canine pyometra frequently occurs in middle-aged to older intact bitches, which seriously affects the life of dogs and brings an economic loss to their owners. Hence, finding a key metabolite is very important for the diagnosis and development of a new safe and effective therapy for the disease. In this study, dogs with pyometra were identified by blood examinations, laboratory analyses and diagnostic imaging, and fifteen endometrium tissues of sick dogs with pyometra and fifteen controls were collected and their metabolites were identified utilizing a UHPLC-qTOF-MS-based untargeted metabolomics approach.

A study on the correlation between intrauterine microbiota and uterine pyogenesis in dogs.

Pyometra is a common and high-incidence reproductive system disease in female dogs, and its development involves both hormonal and bacterial factors. Characterization of the endometrial microbiome in healthy dogs and diseased dogs with pyometra remains unclear at present, however. In this study, dogs with pyometra were identified based on the clinical examinations, hematology examinations, vaginal smears and uterine histopathology.

The Relationship of Tumor Microbiome and Oral Bacteria and Intestinal Dysbiosis in Canine Mammary Tumor.

Canine mammary tumor (CMT) is the most common tumor in dogs, with 50% of malignant cases, and lacks an effective therapeutic schedule, hence its early diagnosis is of great importance to achieve a good prognosis. Microbiota is believed to play important roles in systemic diseases, including cancers. In this study, 91 tumors, 21 oral and fecal samples in total were collected from dogs with CMTs, and 31 oral and 21 fecal samples from healthy dogs were collected as control.

Pseudorabies Virus: From Pathogenesis to Prevention Strategies.

Pseudorabies (PR), also called Aujeszky's disease (AD), is a highly infectious viral disease which is caused by pseudorabies virus (PRV). It has been nearly 200 years since the first PR case occurred. Currently, the virus can infect human beings and various mammals, including pigs, sheep, dogs, rabbits, rodents, cattle and cats, and among them, pigs are the only natural host of PRV infection.

Pseudorabies (PR) caused by re-emerging pseudorabies virus (PRV) variant has outbroken among PRV vaccine-immunized swine herds on many Chinese pig farms, with severe socioeconomic consequences since late 2011. Here, a gE/gI/TK-deleted recombinant virus (rPRV NY-gE/gI/TK) was constructed based on PRV NY strain from 2012 through homologous DNA recombination and gene-editing technology termed clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/associated (Cas9) system. The rPRV NY-gE/gI/TK strain showed similar growth kinetics to the parental PRV NY strain in vitro, and was safe for mice.

Characterization of a recombinant pseudorabies virus expressing porcine parvovirus VP2 protein and porcine IL-6.

Background: Porcine parvovirus (PPV) and pseudorabies virus (PRV) are the important etiological agents of swine infectious diseases, resulting in huge economic losses to the Chinese swine industry. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has the roles to support host immune response to infections as a pleiotropic cytokine. It is essential to construct a live attenuated vaccine-based recombinant PRV that expresses PPV VP2 protein and porcine IL-6 for prevention and control of PRV and PPV.

The partial cap genes of four field strains from four different farms were sequenced and analysed.

[Structure, localizations and functions of chromosomal passenger complex].

Chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) is mainly composed of a protein kinase Aurora B, inner centromere protein, Survivin, and Borealin. As in different periods of cell division, CPC can localise correctly to relavent destinations in time and interact on its different substrates in the mitotic cell. CPC modulats phosphorylation of histone H3 in chromatin aggregation and controlls cohesion or segregation of sister chromatids.
