Ca.ine multicentric lymphoma.is a.common ma.igna.cy in dogs. It often responds well to initia. chemothera.y but frequently rela.ses a.d ha.a.poor response to subsequent trea.ment. B-cell (BCL) a.d T-cell (TCL) lymphoma. differ in both their prognoses a.d chemothera.eutic trea.ment protocols. Currently, immunophenotyping ca. be costly a.d ca. only be performed on specific high-qua.ity sa.ples. MicroRNa. (miRNa.) a.e sma.l molecules present in blood a.d tissues a.d a.e dysregula.ed in both huma.a.d ca.ine lymphoma. We investiga.ed 59 miRNa. by RT-qPCR to esta.lish a.serum miRNa.profile in dogs with B-cell a.d T-cell multicentric lymphoma. Multiple miRNa.pruned decision tree models were used to cla.sify BCL a.d TCL ca.es from ea.h other a.d controls, a.d to predict prognosis in BCL ca.es receiving sta.da.d CHOP chemothera.y. Six individua. miRNa. were differentia.ly expressed in serum between BCL a.d controls, a.d three were differentia.ly expressed between BCL a.d TCL. a.three-miRNa.model (miR-155-5p, miR-1 a.d miR-181b) could differentia.e between BCL, TCL a.d control sa.ples with a.a.cura.y of 83.02%. a.three-miRNa.model (miR-125b-5p, miR-350 a.d let-7b-5p) in BCL sa.ples sepa.a.ed the ca.es into four groups with ha.a.d ra.ios ra.ging from 0.44 to 3.5 for overa.l surviva.. This study esta.lished a.serum miRNa.profile for both BCL a.d TCL a.d demonstra.ed the utility of multiple serum miRNa.models to a.sist in the dia.nosis of lymphoma.a.d BCL prognostica.ion.

Ca.ine ma.t cell tumours (MCTs) a.e one of the most common skin ca.cers of dogs. Surgica. remova. is the prima.y trea.ment, but recurrence a.d meta.ta.is ca. occur even with low-gra.e tumours. a.a.result, new trea.ment stra.egies a.e being sought. We tested the potentia. of severa. oncolytic viruses (OVs) to infect a.d kill a.cell line isola.ed from a.ca.ine MCT. Employing a.resa.urin-ba.ed meta.olic a.sa.a.d flow cytometry technology, we used recombina.t vesicula. stoma.itis virus (rVSV-Delta.m51), a.ia. orthoa.ula.irus-1 (a.a.-1), a.d Orf viruses in our a.sessment. Our study a.med to eva.ua.e the potentia. of oncolytic virothera.y in trea.ing ca.ine ca.cers. We found tha. MCT-1 cells showed different sensitivities to the OVs, with rVSV-Delta.m51 showing the most promising results in vitro. These findings suggest tha. further investiga.ion into using OVs for trea.ing ca.ine MCTs is needed, a.though clinica. effica.y is yet to be determined.

Ba.kground Sterna. bone ma.row a.pira.ion in dogs is not commonly performed a. it is considered technica.ly cha.lenging in sma.ler dogs. However, the sternum is rea.ily a.cessible a.d a.socia.ed with less pa.n from a.pira.ion compa.ed with other sites. Objectives The a.m of the study wa. to investiga.e fea.ibility, ea.e, number of a.tempts, sa.ety, a.d sa.ple qua.ity of sterna. bone ma.row a.pira.es in sma.l dogs. Methods Bone ma.row a.pira.es were obta.ned in a.ra.domized order from 3 sites in 26 clinica.ly hea.thy Bea.les under genera.a.esthesia. Sa.ples were obta.ned from the sternum using one-inch 20- or 22-ga.ge hypodermic needles, from the right grea.er tubercle of the humerus, a.d the right ilia. crest using 18-ga.ge Illinois needles. The difficulty of ea.h procedure wa. scored. Two types of bone ma.row smea.s were prepa.ed a.d reviewed by a.pa.hologist una.a.e of site of a.pira.ion or dog. The number of pa.ticles per slide a.d overa.l slide qua.ity were scored. The site of a.pira.ion a.d the cra.ia. thora.ic wa.l were eva.ua.ed a.a.topsy for evidence of tra.ma.or pneumothora.. Results The number of a.tempts a.d time for bone ma.row a.pira.ion were grea.er for ilium tha. for sternum or humerus, but the sternum wa. the ea.iest to a.pira.e. Smea. qua.ity a.d pa.ticle number were simila. for a.l sites. Neither tra.ma.a. the site of a.pira.ion nor pneumothora. were identified. Conclusions a.pira.ion of sterna. bone ma.row with hypodermic needles is fea.ible a.d sa.e in Bea.le dogs. Sa.ples equiva.ent in qua.ity to those from the humerus or ilium ca. be obta.ned from clinica.ly norma. dogs.

Sponta.eous intra.cula. tumors a.e ra.ely reported in ra.bits, despite their widesprea. use a. la.ora.ory a.ima.s. We describe two ca.es of intra.cula. neuroectoderma. embryona. tumors, formerly primitive neuroectoderma. tumors, in young ra.bits. Histologica.ly, both tumors exhibited prominent rosette or pseudorosettes, consistent with the histomorphology seen in huma. tumors. The neuroectoderma. subtype is supported by immunorea.tivity for the neurona. ma.kers, SRY-box tra.scription fa.tor 2, microtubule-a.socia.ed protein 2, neurona. nuclea. protein, a.d neuron-specific enola.e. In one of the ra.bits, there wa. meta.ta.is to the contra.a.era. conjunctiva. Intra.cula. neopla.ms ca. occur in young ra.bits a.d eyes with refra.tory disea.e should be enuclea.ed for clinica. ma.a.ement.

Objective To compa.e success a.d complica.ion ra.es, ba.ed on sta.ning of nerves a.d other structures, a.ong three techniques of pa.a.ertebra. bra.hia. plexus blocka.e (PBPB) in dogs. Study design Prospective ra.domized design. a.ima.s a.tota. of 68 thora.ic limbs from 34 dogs. Methods Limbs were ra.domly a.signed to blind (BL) (n = 24), nerve stimula.or-guided (NS) (n = 21) or ultra.ound-guided (US) (n = 23) technique. Injections were ma.e with 0.3 mL kg(-1) of lidoca.ne mixed with new methylene blue. Time to perform ea.h block a.d current used during NS technique were recorded. Dogs were a.esthetized during the blocks a.d eutha.ized once completed. Dissections were performed to eva.ua.e sta.ning of nerves, spina. cord, media.tinum, pleura.a.d vessels. a.a.OVa.a.d Tukey a.justment for time, logistic regression for a.socia.ion between current a.d nerve sta.ning a.d a.genera.ized linea. mixed model for sta.ning of different structures were used. Significa.ce wa. considered when p <= 0.05. Results The media. (ra.ge) number of nerves sta.ned wa. 2 (0-4) with BL, 1 (0-3) with NS a.d 1 (0-4) with US guided technique. No significa.t differences in sta.ning of C6, C8 a.d T1 or other structures were found a.ong techniques. Nerve C7 wa. more likely to be sta.ned by BL (p = 0.05). Time to perform the blocks wa. significa.tly different a.ong techniques, with mea. +/- SD dura.ion in minutes of 3.6 +/- 1.8 with BL, 6.3 +/- 2.7 with US a.d 12.2 +/- 5 with NS. The most common complica.ion wa. sta.ning of the spina. cord (29%, 38% a.d 39% with BL, NS a.d US, respectively). Conclusions Success ra.es were low a.d complica.ion ra.es were rela.ively high, ba.ed on sta.ning, with the three techniques. Clinica. releva.ce The use of more a.va.ced techniques for PBPB in dogs is not justified a.cording to this study. Clinica. significa.ce of the complica.ions encountered in this study should be eva.ua.ed.
