Dietary supplementation of blend of organic acids and monoglycerides alleviated diarrhea and systemic inflammation of weaned pigs experimentally infected with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F18 by Sangwoo Park, Shuhan Sun, Supatirada Wongchanla, Ying Chen, Xunde Li, Yanhong Liu

“…Supplementation of organic acids, monoglycerides, or combination also reduced (P < 0.05) bacterial translocation in mesenteric lymph nodes on d 21 post-inoculation. Pigs fed with monoglycerides or combination had lower (P < 0.05) white blood cells on d 5 post-inoculation, and pigs fed the combination also had lower (P < 0.05) lymphocytes than pigs in control group. …”

Bacterial Toxin Fusion Proteins Elicit Mucosal Immunity against a Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Antigen When Administered Intranasally to Guinea Pigs by Sreerupa Challa, Steven M. Szczepanek, Debra Rood, Roger W. Barrette, Lawrence K. Silbart

“…In the current study, two different carrier/adjuvant approaches were used to augment mucosal immunity to the FMDV O1 BFS G-H loop epitope, in which the G-H loop was genetically coupled to the E. coli LT-B subunit and coexpressed with the LTA2 fragment (LTA2B-GH), or the nontoxic pseudomonas exotoxin A (ntPE) was fused to LTA2B-GH at LT-A2 to enhance receptor targeting. Only guinea pigs that were inoculated intranasally with ntPE-LTA2B-GH and LTA2B-GH induced significant anti-G-H loop IgA antibodies in nasal washes at weeks 4 and 6 when compared to ovalbumin or G-H loop immunized animals. …”

Effects of Acute Bleeding Followed by Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 or a Crystalloid on Propofol Concentrations, Cerebral Oxygenation, and Electroencephalographic and Haemodynamic Variables in Pigs by Aura Silva, Ana Liza Ortiz, Carlos Venâncio, Almir P. Souza, Luísa Maria Ferreira, Paula Sério Branco, Paula Guedes de Pinho, Pedro Amorim, David A. Ferreira

“…In this study, the effects of bleeding followed by replacement with hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) or lactated Ringer’s (LR) on cerebral oxygenation and electroencephalogram-derived parameters were investigated. Twelve young pigs under propofol-remifentanil anaesthesia were bled 30 mL/kg and, after a 20-minute waiting period, volume replacement was performed with HES (GHES; N=6) or LR (GRL; N=6). …”
