[Development of toxemia in rats with long-term irradiation].

Prolonged whole-body gamma-irradiation of rats by daily dose 0.5 Gy up to total dose 8 Gy led to excessive bacterial intoxication with simultaneous decrease of the number of leucocytes and their migration rate. Additional thermal burn of exposed rats resulted in more strong bacterial intoxication, increase of the number of toxic oligopeptides and decrease of leucocytes migration rate. Isolated thermal lesion caused short-term and less pronounced increase of indices under study.

[Clinical examinations of gilts with puerperal septicemia and toxemia].

In a clinical examination on 78 gilts suffering from feverish puerperal illness the signs were documented. 42 gilts without puerperal disturbances out of the same farms (n = 22) were used as a control. Data for statistics were recorded in minute-books, listing 38 parameters, partly divided in three or four subunits. Within the first 24 hours after parturition 60% of the probands were registered, the other gilts up to the 72nd hour after parturition. 42.3% of the patients beared for the first or second time. Duration of partus averaged more than six hours in 85.9% of patients with consequent puerperal illness, whereas probands of the same age in the control group finished parturition in less than three hours (78.8%; p < or = 0.01). Frequency of obstetrical intervention measured 27% in the group of patients, in the group of probands 9.5% (p < or = 0.05). Gilts with following puerperal illness delivered 1.1 piglets more than healthy individuals (p < or = 0.05) and showed an increased stillbirth rate (p < or = 0.01). Signs of clinical interest in puerperal illness were increase of body temperature (p < or = 0.01), cardiac rate (p < or = 0.01) and respiratory frequency (p < or = 0.01). Approximately 75% of the patients showed anorexia, 66% abnormal faecal consistency. 24.4% of the diseased animals showed exclusively signs of mastitis, in 29.5% there was a combination of mastitis and inflammatory affection of the genital system to be diagnosed, in 46.1% of the cases a solitary infection of the reproductive tract was to be stated. Predominantly E. coli, followed by Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. were isolated from the genital tract. The results of this study emphasize the clinical necessity to differentiate between isolated mastitis and puerperal septicaemia respectively toxaemia in cases of feverish puerperal illness. Puerperal septicaemia and toxaemia can, but do not have to be associated with mastitis in gilts.
