摘要
Florfenicol (FLO) is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent for treatment of bacteriosis of piglets in veterinary practice. To study the toxicity to the hematopoietic and lymphoid organs of piglets treated with a therapeutic dose of FLO, 20 healthy weaned piglets were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Piglets in the FLO group were fed with fodder supplemented with 30 mg/kg BW of FLO twice a day for 10 days. Blood samples were drawn at four time points: 1 day before FLU administration and 1, 7, and 14 days postwithdrawal. Three or four piglets were euthanized at each time point post-withdrawal and tissue samples (bone marrow, thymus and spleen) were collected for fixation and cryostorage. The levels of classical swine fever virus (C5FV) antibody against the vaccine, the concentrations of Hsp70 and IL-6 in serum and Hsp70 in tissues, and the mRNA expression levels of B-cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) and tumor suppressor p53 were detected, the hematology of the piglets were analyzed, and the histopathology and the status of apoptosis of the hematopoietic and lymphoid organs was examined. The results showed changes in several indicators in the FLU group 1 day post-withdrawal: the concentration of red blood cells (RBCs) was decreased, and that of platelets (PLTs) was significantly lower (p <0.05); the volumes of RBC and PLT were increased; the sum of blood lymphocytes was statistically decreased (p <0.05); the concentration of IL-6 was significantly increased (p <0.05); the concentrations of Hsp70 in serum and tissues were increased; obvious atrophy of the hematopoietic cell lines and partial replacement by fat cells were observed in bone marrow; thymus and spleen tissues showed lower concentrations and sparser arrangement of lymphocytes in the thymic medulla and white pulp of the spleen respectively; and the mRNA expression levels of bc1-2 in the three tissues were up-regulated, while that of p53 was down-regulated. With time after cessation of FLU administration, the indicators of the FLU group gradually returned to close to that of the control group and the histological lesions of the tissues gradually recovered, and the differences in the densities of lymphocytes and cell arrangements in the tissues between two groups gradually decreased. In conclusion, a therapeutic dose of FLU induces temporary toxicity in the hematopoietic and lymphoid organs of piglets to some extent, and influences hemopoiesis and immune function. These effects gradually decrease after cessation of FLU administration. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
