Article Synopsis
  • Researchers collected fecal samples from 779 litters of suckling piglets across 80 farms in 17 provinces in China to study coccidian infection prevalence between September 2009 and December 2010.
  • The overall infection rate was found to be 16.7%, with the highest occurrence (19.9%) in litters that were 8-14 days old.
  • Seven coccidian species were identified in the infected piglets, with Isospora suis being the most prevalent, and over half of the infected litters had multiple species, providing essential data for future control measures against porcine coccidiosis.

Objective: To define the protective role of pericardial tissue and identify the subcellular population with potential contribution to cardiac protection after injury in a rat model.

Methods: Myocardial infarction (MI) was created by the ligation of left anterior descending artery (LAD) in rats while the pericardial sac was either completely removed (-PC, n = 10) or surgically closed after ligation (+PC, n = 8). The follow-up functional and structure benefits were analyzed by echocardiography and 2,3,5- triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium, chloride(TTC) and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) staining.
