Detection of bovine mitochondrial DNA in ruminant feeds: a molecular approach to test for the presence of bovine-derived materials.

A ban on ruminant-derived proteins in ruminant feeds has been introduced as a preventive measure to avoid the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), as well as to minimize any potential risk of BSE transmission from bovines to humans. In the absence of commercially available efficient methods for identification of bovine-derived proteins in animal feeds, we developed a rapid and sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay which allows detection and identification of a bovine-specific mitochondrial DNA sequence from feedstuffs. The amplified product encodes for the whole ATPase subunit 8 and the amino-terminal portion of the ATPase subunit 6 proteins, which are known to exhibit a relatively low degree of conservation among vertebrates. The specific amplification of such a bovine mitochondrial sequence from reference feedstuff samples was demonstrated by means of both direct sequencing and single-strand conformational analysis of the PCR product. Specificity was also confirmed by the absence of detectable homologous PCR product when using reference feedstuff samples lacking bovine-derived meat and bonemeals, or genomic DNA samples from vertebrates whose offals are commonly included in animal feeds. This method allows detection of the presence of bovine mitochondrial DNA in feedstuffs containing less than 0.125% of bovine-derived meat and bonemeals. Furthermore, it does not appear to be considerably affected by prolonged heat treatment. DpnII and SspI restriction endonuclease digestions of the unpurified PCR product may be used routinely to confirm the bovine origin of the amplified sequence. Since this method is specific, rapid, and sensitive, it could be successfully utilized as a routine control assay to evaluate the presence of bovine-derived meat and bonemeals in ruminant feeds

The Outcome of Cholangitis After Percutaneous Biliary Drainage in Neoplastic Jaundice

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate factors affecting the outcome of cholangitis after PTBD in jaundiced cancer patients. Twenty nine patients with neoplastic jaundice (male/female ratio 13/16, median age 55 years) with full clinical data, were treated by PTBD and developed cholangitis at a median of 9 days later. Four patients (14%) died of biliary sepsis a median of one month after PTBD while the other 25 survived a median of 6 months, with one week median duration of cholangitis. The probability of the cholangitis resolving was analyzed by time to resolution and it was found that 50% and 100% of the recoveries occurred 5 and 9 months respectively from the onset of the complication
