Foram avaliadas 200 vacas holandesas de alta produção leiteira, divididas em quatro grupos, sendo estes estabelecidos a partir da produtividade diária. Os animais foram submetidos ao exame clínico, coleta de líquido ruminal por meio de sondagem oral, hemogasometria, termografia digital e pedometria. Os valores do pH e prova de redução pelo azul de metileno do líquido ruminal, produtividade diária, número de passos, temperatura dos dígitos e membros, hemogasometria (PCO2, TCO2, HCO3, SO2 e EB) foram determinados e correlacionados estatisticamente. Nenhum animal avaliado apresentou alterações no pH ruminal e hemogasometria. A análise termográfica revelou maior temperatura nos dígitos mediais dos membros torácicos direito (59,4%) e esquerdo (55,2%). Enquanto que nos membros pélvicos, observou-se que a temperatura foi maior nos dígitos laterais direito (65,9%) e esquerdo (64,9%). Notou-se que 84,9% dos animais apresentaram os membros pélvicos mais quentes que os membros torácicos. Observou-se ainda que quanto maior foi à temperatura registrada, menor foi a produção de leite (p<0,01). As alterações encontradas pela termografia digital permitiram a triagem das vacas acometidas por afecções podais. Contudo, a identificação destas afecções somente foi possível mediante exame clínico específico dos dígitos. A pedometria foi efetiva, pois se observou redução no número de passos devido à dor, correlacionada a menor produção leiteira. Os fatores de riscos como o concreto abrasivo, instalações inadequadas, associados à acidose ruminal subaguda, não diagnosticada pela metodologia utilizada, foram os principais causadores das afecções podais. A laminite subclínica acometeu primariamente as vacas ... / This study aimed to correlate the subacute ruminal acidosis with the occurrence of subclinical laminitis in high producing dairy cows, of a commercial herd. We assessed 200 Holstein cows with high milk production, they were divided into four groups, which was established high milk production from the daily productivity. The animals were submitted to clinical examination, collection of rumen fluid by oral gavage, blood gas analysis, thermography and digital pedometrics. Values of pH and evidence of reduction of methylene blue rumen, daily productivity, number of animals steps, the temperature digits and limbs, blood gas (PCO2, TCO2, HCO3, SO2 and EB) all those had been determined and statistically correlated. No have assessed animals that showed changes in ruminal pH and blood gas analysis. The thermographic analysis revealed higher temperature in the medial forelimb digits right (59.4%) and left (55.2%). While in the hind limbs was observed that the temperature was bigger in the right side digits (65.9%) and left (64.9%). It had been noted that 84.9% of the animals had pelvic limbs warmer than the forelimbs. It had been also observed that the higher the temperature recorded was, the lower was the milk yield (P <0.01). The abnormalities were found by digital thermography allowed in cows triage affected by foot problems affections. Therefore, these disorders identification were only possible through clinical examination of specific digits. The pedometrics was effective, because we had observed a reduction number of animals steps because of the pain, and then correlated with lower milk production. Risk factors as abrasive concrete, inadequate accommodation, subacute ruminal acidosis associated with undiagnosed by the methodology used, they were the main causes of affections podal. The subclinical laminitis occurred primarily cows from the herd, considering the multifactorial etiology from this affections, ...

Neste contexto, destacou-se a participação de processos inflamatórios e sua relação com a expressão de metaloproteinases (MMP), que sabidamente promovem a degradação da membrana basal no tecido laminar do casco. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a expressão das MMP-2 e MMP-9 no tecido laminar, bem como sua integridade celular por avaliação histológica, em equinos submetidos à obstrução intraluminal do cólon menor. Oito equinos adultos hígidos foram avaliados. Realizou-se laparotomia e obteve-se obstrução do cólon menor utilizando-se balão de vinil inserido no lúmem intestinal. O balão foi inflado à pressão de 80 mmHg e a obstrução foi mantida por 4 horas, simulando a presença de um enterólito. Foram realizadas biópsias pelo acesso transmural-dorsal para obtenção de tecido laminar podal em três momentos (T): antes da obstrução (T0), imediatamente após desobstrução (T4) e após 72 horas da desobstrução (T72). As amostras foram submetidas à análise zimográfica e histológica. Segundo a zimografia, não observou-se alterações nos valores de MMP-2 e MMP-9 em T4 e T72. Entretanto, observou-se o surgimento de lesões no tecido laminar analisado microscopicamente (T4 e T72). Concluiu-se que as alterações inflamatórias decorrentes da obstrução do cólon menor levaram ao surgimento de lesões no tecido laminar podal. Porém, a inflamação promovida não foi suficiente para ocasionar alteração na expressão das MMP-2 e MMP-9 no tecido avaliado / A number of studies have been conducted in order to relate gastrointestinal disorders and laminitis occurrence in horses. In this issue, special attention has been given to the role of inflammatory process and its relation with metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, which may lead to basement membrane degradation in the hoof laminar tissue. The purpose of the present study was to investigate MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in the laminar tissue, as well as its cellular integrity assessed histologically, in horses subjected to intraluminal obstruction of the small colon. Eight healthy horses were evaluated. A laparotomy was performed and the small colon obstruction was achieved by the use of a vinyl ball inserted into the intestinal lumen. The ball was insufflated at 80 mmHg and the obstruction was sustained for 4 hours, mimicking an enterolithiasis. Through a dorsal-transmural access, podal laminar tissue samples were biopsied at three time-points: before obstruction (T0), immediately after desobstruction (T4) and after 72 hours from desobstruction. Samples were subjected to zymographic and histological analysis. The zymography did not reveal changes in MMP-2 and MMP-9 values at T4 and T72. However, microscopic evaluation showed laminar tissue lesions (T4 and T72). In conclusion, the inflammatory changes followed by the small colon obstruction led to podal laminar tissue damage. However, the inflammation was not sufficient to induce changes in MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in the evaluated tissue

Pedometria no diagnóstico precoce de enfermidades podais em vacas leiteiras

Rodrigues, Mirian. January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Celso Antonio Rodrigues / Resumo: Este estudo objetivou a identificação precoce de lesões podais infecciosas e secundárias à laminite, em vacas Holandesas de alta produção, a partir de alterações na pedometria. Foram selecionadas 245 vacas Holandesas de alta produção leiteira, que não apresentaram em 308 dias de lactação, nenhuma enfermidade como: mastite, deslocamento de abomaso, pneumonia, hipocalcemia, retenção de placenta, metrite, diarreia e cetose, que pudesse interferir nos resultados mensurados. Os dados da pedometria (produção de leite, número de passos, número de vezes que o animal deitou e porcentagem de tempo em que ele permaneceu deitado) foram obtidos diariamente e então, calculada uma média semanal. As afecções podais foram avaliadas e classificadas. A úlcera de sola e a dermatite digital foram as de maior incidência com 64,86% e 75% respectivamente, sendo estas associadas aos fatores de risco como o concreto abrasivo, umidade e sobrecarga de peso sobre os dígitos. Nas variáveis pedométricas, a produção de leite foi considerada neste estudo, um fator de risco para desenvolvimento de enfermidades podais. Houve diferença entre o número de passos e quantidade de vezes que os animais deitaram, sendo os animais com lesão aqueles que apresentaram menor atividade pedométrica. Estas variáveis foram adequadas para a detecção precoce de vacas susceptíveis as lesões podais. / Doutor

The Role of Systemic Inflammation in the Development of Equine Laminitis

Tadros, Elizabeth MaryRose 01 December 2011 (has links)
Laminitis is a crippling disease of horses that can result in chronic lameness and debilitation, and sometimes warrants euthanasia. It is a complication of inflammatory conditions such as gastrointestinal disease, and also occurs in obese, insulin-resistant horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). Inflammation and insulin resistance are risk factors for laminitis, and these mechanisms might converge to induce laminitis in susceptible animals. Systemic inflammation is often attributed to endotoxemia, although circulating endotoxin concentrations are not commonly measured in the clinical setting. Although a theoretic basis exists for endotoxemia in the pathogenesis of laminitis, administration of endotoxin alone does not induce the condition. This could be related to differences between experimental models and naturally occurring disease. Studies presented in this dissertation address the overall hypothesis that systemic inflammation causes laminitis and new experimental models can be developed to better represent clinical disease. Associations between systemic inflammation and laminitis were first established by measuring blood inflammatory cytokine expression during a laminitis induction model. A clinically relevant endotoxin model that induced laminitis was then sought, but endotoxin administration alone was insufficient to cause laminitis and endotoxin tolerance developed. Endotoxemia was therefore evaluated in conjunction with predisposing factors such as obesity. In horses with EMS, endotoxin infusion caused exaggerated inflammatory responses, and derangements in glucose homeostasis were more pronounced. Laminitis, however, did not develop. Repeated inflammatory events are implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated organ failure, so a final study was performed to test whether preexisting endotoxemia increased the risk of laminitis during subsequent carbohydrate overload-induced systemic inflammation. This did not occur, however systemic inflammation was more pronounced in horses that developed laminitis compared to non-responders, and tissues rather than circulating leukocytes appeared to be the major source of inflammatory mediators. Our results do not support a role for endotoxin as the causal agent of laminitis, even when combined with predisposing factors. Tissues appear to be an important source of inflammatory mediators, therefore their role in laminitis should be further characterized. Additionally, future investigations should determine whether exaggerated inflammatory responses and loss of glycemic control increase the risk of laminitis in horses with EMS.
