AbstractAbstract
[en] Various biomedical applications of nuclear methods (especially Particle Induced X-Ray Emission PIXE) were developed in an extensive study by Johansson and Campbell.The causes of Downer Cow Syndrome (DCS) are the metabolic and toxic perturbation. The DCS is included in the largest group of dismineralisations with some other diseases of cattle like hypomagnesaemia. It is precisely a disease generated by the superposition of some factors. One of them is the type and the chemical composition of soil and plants involved in nutrition. Other factors are the chemical processes used in food preparation as well as some technological factors like: the husbandry system and the characteristics of the locally habitation and individual factors (the species, the productive type and physiological state). The origin of this syndrome is uncertain but the clinical experience indicates that the DCS is enhanced by the hypocalcaemic paresis of parturition. The diminution of some nutritive elements from food can be a cause of DCS. The cattle are more sensitive to the diminution of P in food in comparison to the diminution of Ca. An increase of this ratio determines unfortunately the Ca absorption because of the deficit of vitamin D. In the present study the elemental and enzymatic content of blood serum samples collected from cattle that are interesting from medical reasons was determined. The results obtained in pathological animals are compared with the normal data and with literature data for similar samples obtained from healthy cattle. Blood samples are collected from jugular zone of 30 cattle. Each serum sample was divided into three samples in order to make analyses by three methods (PIXE, Inductively Coupled Plasma and spectrometry using Bessey-Lowry method). (authors)
