Abomasal ulcers are common in cattle, especially in calves, and to date, there is no reliable antemortem method for diagnosis, to our knowledge. We assessed if measuring sucrose in blood after oral administration in calves could be used to identify animals with abomasal ulcers. Terminally ill calves ( n = 12; part A) and calves designated for slaughter ( n = 123; part B) were given a sucrose solution per os, and blood samples were taken 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min (part A) or 30 and 60 min (part B) after administration. The calves were then euthanized or slaughtered, and their abomasa were examined. Serum samples were analyzed using highperformance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and data were analyzed using general linear mixed models. Calves both with and without affected abomasa had increasing sucrose values over time without significant differences. Also, there was no relationship between the size of the mucosal lesion and sucrose values.

AbstractTo realize the attribution and identification of absorbed components in rat serum after oral administration of Erhuang decoction prepared by semi-bionic enzyme extraction method, the fingerprints of serum samples were established using a HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS method. Thirty-two peaks in Erhuang decoction and 24 peaks in rat serum after oral administration of Erhuang decoction were detected. Among the 24 peaks detected in rat serum, 25 compounds were identified by comparing the retention time and mass spectrometry data with that of reference compounds, or by mass spectrometry analysis and retrieving the reference literatures. Among the identified 25 compounds in vivo, 24 were the original form of compounds absorbed from the detected compounds in vitro, and one was the metabolite compounds of licorice. By analyzing the mass spectrometry or ultraviolet absorption characteristics, other unidentified compounds in vivo were deduced to be the endogenous metabolites in serum or the original form and metabolites of the compounds existed in vivo. Results indicated that HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS is suitable for identifying the bioactive constituents in serum after oral administration of Erhuang decoction, and the findings would be beneficial to further research and development of the pharmacodynamic substance base of Erhuang decoction.

Abstract Due to difficulties in obtaining consistent and/or reliable measures of deoxynivalenol (DON) in complete swine diets, we investigated whether measuring DON in biological samples could be used as an indicator of DON ingestion in pigs. In this study, graded levels of DON (1, 3, or 5 ppm) were fed to grower-finisher pigs for a period of 77-d. On d 35 and 77 of the study, urine samples were quantitatively collected over a 24-h period and blood samples were collected between 3 – 4 h after the morning meal on each of those days for serum DON analysis. For direct quantification of DON in urine, high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry was performed. For serum samples, indirect quantification of DON was performed via enzymatic hydrolysis. We observed that DON content in urine increased linearly as intake of DON increased (Fig.1A; P < 0.05). Analysis of DON in serum follow a similar trend, where serum DON content was increased as DON intake increased (Fig.1B; P < 0.05). An average of 30% of DON ingested was recovered as DON in urine over a 24-h period. In summary, there was a linear relationship between DON intake and DON content in both urine and blood serum, therefore, analyzing DON concentration in serum and urine could be used as a tool to estimate for DON exposure in pigs under controlled conditions.

Purpose. This study describes the development of a rapid and sensitive LC-ESI-MS assay for simultaneous enantioselective determination of levocetirizine and pseudoephedrine in dog plasma in the presence of dextrocetirizine. Methods. Separations were achieved on an Ultron ES-OVM chiral column using the mobile phase consisting of 10 mM aqueous NH4OAc (pH 6.6) and acetonitrile (9:1 v/v). Results. The retention times of pseudoephedrine, dextrocetirizine, levocetirizine and diazepam (internal standard) were 5.2, 8.3, 9.6 and 11.6 min, respectively, and the total run time was less than 15 min. The assay was validated to demonstrate the linearity, accuracy and precision, recovery and stability. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration range from 1 – 200 ng/mL for levocetirizine and from 5 – 1000 ng/mL for pseudoephedrine. Conclusions. The developed assay was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of the racemic cetirizine (0.5 mg/kg, or 0.25 mg/kg as levocetirizine) and pseudoephedrine (12 mg/kg) in the dog.
