Human transmission is mainly due to the consumption of unpasteurized milk and dairy products of infected animals. The gold standard for the diagnosis of <i>Brucella</i> spp in ruminants is the bacterial isolation, but it is time-consuming. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a quicker and more sensitive technique than bacterial culture. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) is a novel molecular assay showing high sensitivity in samples with low amount of DNA and lower susceptibility to amplification inhibitors. Present study aimed to develop a ddPCR protocol for the detection of <i>Brucella abortus</i> in buffalo tissue samples. The protocol was validated using proficiency test samples for <i>Brucella</i> spp by real time qPCR. Furthermore, 599 tissue samples were examined. Among reference materials, qPCR and ddPCR demonstrated same performance and were able to detect up to 225 CFU/mL. Among field samples, ddPCR showed higher sensitivity (100%), specificity and accuracy of 93.4% and 94.15%, respectively. ddPCR could be considered a promising technique to detect <i>B. abortus</i> in veterinary specimens, frequently characterized by low amount of bacteria, high diversity in matrices and species and poor storage conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"44 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11328813/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141989496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed to explore the PK characteristics of AMX in Nile tilapia (<i>Oreochromis niloticus</i>) reared at 25 and 30 °C as well as to determine optimal dosages and drug withdrawal time (WDT). In the PK investigation, the fish received a single dose of 40 mg/kg AMX <i>via</i> oral gavage, and the optimal dosage was determined by the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic approach. In the tissue residue study, the fish were orally gavaged with 40 mg/kg/day AMX once daily for 5 days and the WDT was established by the linear regression analysis. The results revealed the temperature-dependent drug elimination; the clearance relative to bioavailability (CL/F) and elimination half-life at 30 °C (0.180 L/kg/h and 6.06 h, respectively) were about twice those at 25 °C (0.090 L/kg/h and 10.49 h, respectively). The optimal dosages at the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 μg/mL were 10.97 (25 °C) and 41.03 (30 °C) mg/kg/day, respectively. Finally, following the multiple oral administration, the muscle/skin residue of AMX on day 1 after the last dosing at 25 and 30 °C were 548 and 264 ng/g, respectively. The average tissue residues were depleted below the maximum residue limits (MRL) of 50 μg/kg on day 5 (25 °C) and 3 (30 °C), respectively, and the WDT were 6 and 4 days when rearing at 25 and 30 °C, respectively.

The expression of TP53 by RNAscope® in situ hybridization and p53 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) was investigated in 37 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded cDLBCL, to assess their correlation with TP53 mutational status and to evaluate their prognostic value. TP53 was detected in all samples by RNAscope®. Ten of 37 (27%) cases expressed p53 by IHC, with highly variable percentage of positive cells. TP53 RNAscope® scores and p53 IHC results were not correlated. The expression of TP53 by RNAscope® was not influenced by its mutational status. Conversely, p53 IHC and TP53 mutations were significantly associated. p53 IHC predicted TP53 genetic mutations with high accuracy (97.3%). All TP53-mutated samples carrying missense mutations exhibited p53 expression by IHC, while all wild-type cases and a single case with frameshift insertion were negative. In univariable analysis, p53 IHC was associated with shorter time to progression (TTP) and lymphoma-specific survival (LSS). Nevertheless, in multivariable analysis, only treatment significantly affected TTP and LSS. These findings suggest p53 IHC is an accurate, cost-effective tool for predicting TP53 mutations in cDLBCL, unlike TP53 RNAscope®, though its prognostic value requires further validation.","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"41 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142251241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
