Avian comparative genomics: reciprocal chromosome painting between domestic chicken (Gallus gallus) and the stone curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus, Charadriiformes) - An atypical species with low diploid number

The chicken is the most extensively studied species in birds and thus constitutes an ideal reference for comparative genomics in birds. Comparative cytogenetic studies indicate that the chicken has retained many chromosome characters of the ancestral avia

猕猴结肠镜下活检组织病理学观察

目的通过对猕猴结肠镜检及活检取材，对结肠镜检测方法应用于非人灵长类动物予以评价。方法 实验猴在麻醉状态下接受结肠镜检查和活检标本取材，对活检标本进行固定和病理切片观察，并对所检猴进行解 剖和组织学观察，比较各取材点的情况。结果结肠镜下及大体标本观察见猕猴肠壁厚度明显小于人体，活检取 材部位见黏膜破损、肠出血，个别部位见肠穿孔。病理切片HE 染色观察发现，与人体比较，猕猴大肠腺较小而表 浅，固有层内淋巴小结数量较少，肌层、黏膜下层明显较薄。结论对猕猴行结肠镜检查及镜下活检取材是可行 的，但因猕猴肠壁较人体薄而极易穿孔，故需尽量应用活检杯小的活检钳，并需要充分的肠道准备和有经验的肠镜 操作。
