    Notes: Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of a thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, RX77368, on performance of a working memory test, using a delayed non-matching to position (DNMTP) procedure, in (RS)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA)-induced septal-hippocampal lesioned rats. Following a postsurgery recovery period, pretrained rats were tested once daily on DNMTP, 30 min post-administration of RX77368 (1.0 mg kg−1, IP) or saline. AMPA-induced lesions significantly reduced percent correct responses during the second week of testing. Comparison of percent correct responses between days 1 and 13 of testing showed that sham rats significantly improved DNMTP performance, whereas lesioned rats did not. RX77368 significantly reduced general locomotor activity in sham rats in activity boxes, but did not disrupt non-mnemonic measures, such as locomotion and motivation, in the DNMTP test. RX77368 increased percent correct responses in AMPA-lesioned rats on days 8–10 and 11–13. There was also a significant improvement in percent correct responses achieved between day 1 and 13 in RX77368-treated lesioned and sham rats. These results showed that: (i) septal-hippocampal lesioned rats did not improve over the testing period; and (ii) on test days when a significant impairment was present, RX77368 partially improved DNMTP performance.

    Notes: Abstract Two hundred twenty-eight male chicks (Columbia × New Hampshire) were given feed amended with autoclaved culture material (CM) ofFusarium proliferatum Containing fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2) and moniliformin in 3 separate feeding trials. Purified FB1 and moniliformin were given separately and in combination in a fourth feeding trial. Birds were given amended rations at day 1 (Trial 1 and 4), day 7 (Trial 2), and day 21 (Trial 3) and their respective ration was given for 28 days (Trial 1), 21 days (Trial 2), 7 days (Trial 3), and 14 days (Trial 4). FB1 concentrations were 546, 193, and 61 ppm; FB2 were 98, 38 and 14 ppm; and moniliformin were 367, 193, and 66 ppm in the first 3 feeding trial regimens. Chicks in Trial 4 were given dietary concentrations of purified FB1 at 274 and 125 ppm, and moniliformin at 154 and 27 ppm. FB1 and moniliformin, both alone and in combination, produced dose-responsive clinical signs, reduced weight gains and mortality in chicks. Age of birds given amended feeds had little difference in the clinical response; however, those given the rations from days 7 or 21 were slightly less susceptible than those given rations beginning at 1 day of age. Additive effects were noted when the toxins were given in combination. When toxins were given separately, adverse effects took longer to occur. A system to monitor pattern and rate of defecation (RD) was developed for assessing the chicks' approach to feed, water and heat source as illness progressed. Our results indicate that chicks fed corn heavily infected withF. proliferatum under field conditions could suffer acute death similar to that described for ‘spiking mortality syndrome’ during the first 3 weeks of age.

    Notes: Abstract One hundred eight fertile eggs (Columbia × New Hampshire) were assigned to 10 groups of 10 eggs each (2 control groups had 14 eggs each). Five groups of eggs were inoculated on day 1 of incubation, while the other 5 groups were inoculated on day 10. The inoculum of the 4 treatment groups on both day 1 and 10 consisted of 1,10, or 100 µM purified fumonisin B1 (FB1) or a culture material extract (CME) ofFusarium proliferatum, having known amounts of FB1, FB2 and moniliformin (FB1 20 µM; FB2 4 µM and moniliformin 7 µM). Inoculum consisted of the respective toxin(s) dissolved in 100 µl double distilled, autoclaved water (diluent). Control eggs were inoculated with diluent only. Mortality was both dose- and time-responsive in all treatments. Eggs inoculated on day 1 with 1 µM FB1 had 50% mortality; 10 µM FB1 had 70% mortality; 100 µM FB1 had 100% mortality; and CME had 100% mortality. Eggs inoculated on day 10 with 1,10 or 100 µM FB1 or CME had 30, 60, 90 and 80% mortality, respectively. Normal chicks were hatched from all control eggs. The median death times (MDT50) were inversely dose-responsive in all treatments, ranging from 3.0 to 7.4 days in embryos exposed on day 1 and from 3.2 to 9.0 days in those exposed on day 10. Early embryonic changes in exposed embryos included hydrocephalus, enlarged beaks and elongated necks. Pathologic changes were noted in liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, musculoskeletal system, intestines, testes and brain toxin-exposed embryos.
