Animal facility personnel provide the husbandry and care of laboratory animals. We aimed to investigate their work-related quality of life, empathy and mental well-being. Participants living in Spain were contacted by email and asked to complete an anonymous online questionnaire, in which they answered the Professional Quality of Life scale, the Cognitive and affective empathy test, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, and their perceived human-animal interaction. Participants were asked whether they were receiving psychological therapy or were taking anxiolytics, hypnotics or antidepressant medication. The study comprised 80 participants. No differences were observed related to personal or professional variables. Participants working with small carnivores reported higher total empathy, and those working with non-human primates reported higher emotional comprehension. Higher human-animal interaction was reported by participants working with small carnivores, farm animals and non-human primates. More than half of the participants reported high levels of mental well-being, positively correlated with emotional comprehension, emphatic joy and compassion satisfaction. Participants working with farm animals reported higher levels of secondary traumatic stress that was positively correlated with human-animal interaction and negatively with mental well-being. Most participants reported low-average levels of burnout, which was negatively correlated with mental well-being. The percentage of animal facility personnel in psychotherapy was higher than in the general population, and the consumption of anxiolytics was a little lower and antidepressants higher. Overall, our results indicate that animal-facility personnel who felt stress or worse mental well-being were in therapy and took medication to improve their condition.

动物设施工作人员负责饲养和护理实验动物。我们的目的是调查他们与工作相关的生活质量、同理心和精神健康状况。我们通过电子邮件联系了居住在西班牙的参与者,并要求他们填写一份匿名在线问卷,其中包括职业生活质量量表、认知和情感移情测试、沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表以及他们对人与动物互动的看法。研究人员还询问了参与者是否正在接受心理治疗或服用抗焦虑药、催眠药或抗抑郁药。这项研究共有 80 名参与者。没有观察到与个人或职业变量有关的差异。与小型食肉动物打交道的参与者报告了更高的移情能力,与非人灵长类动物打交道的参与者报告了更高的情绪理解能力。与小型食肉动物、农场动物和非人灵长类动物打交道的参与者报告了较高的人与动物互动水平。半数以上的参与者表示心理健康水平较高,这与情绪理解能力、情感愉悦和同情满意度呈正相关。与农场动物打交道的参与者报告了较高程度的二次创伤压力,这种压力与人与动物的互动呈正相关,与心理健康呈负相关。大多数参与者的职业倦怠平均水平较低,与心理健康呈负相关。接受心理治疗的动物园工作人员比例高于普通人群,抗焦虑药的用量略低,抗抑郁药的用量较高。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,感到压力或心理健康状况较差的动物医院工作人员会接受治疗并服用药物来改善他们的状况。

Animals are used for scientific purposes across Africa to benefit humans, animals or the environment. Nonetheless, ethical and regulatory oversight remains limited in many parts of the continent. To strengthen this governance framework, the Pan-African Network for Laboratory Animal Science and Ethics brought together experts from 12 African countries to create an Africa-centric practical guide to facilitate the establishment and appropriate functioning of Institutional Animal Ethics Committees across Africa. The Guidelines are based on universal principles for the care and use of sentient animals for scientific purposes, with consideration of the cultural, religious, political and socio-economic diversity in Africa. They focus on 11 key elements, including responsibilities of institutions and of the Institutional Official; composition of the Committee; its responsibilities, functioning and authority; ethical application and review processes; oversight and monitoring of animal care and use and of training and competence; quality assurance; and the roles of other responsible parties. The intent is for African institutions to adopt and adapt the guidelines, aligning with existing national legislation and standards where relevant, thus ensuring incorporation into practice. More broadly, the Guidelines form an essential component of the growing discourse in Africa regarding moral considerations of, and appropriate standards for, the care and use of animals for scientific purposes. The increased establishment of appropriately functioning animal ethics committees and robust ethical review procedures across Africa will enhance research quality and culture, strengthen societal awareness of animals as sentient beings, improve animal well-being, bolster standards of animal care and use, and contribute to sustainable socio-economic development.

非洲各地都在为科学目的使用动物,以造福人类、动物或环境。然而,在非洲大陆的许多地方,伦理和监管监督仍然有限。为了加强这一管理框架,泛非实验动物科学与伦理网络(Pan-African Network for Laboratory Animal Science and Ethics)召集了来自 12 个非洲国家的专家,制定了一份以非洲为中心的实用指南,以促进非洲各地机构动物伦理委员会的建立和适当运作。该指南基于为科学目的护理和使用有知觉动物的普遍原则,并考虑到非洲文化、宗教、政治和社会经济的多样性。准则》重点关注 11 个关键要素,包括机构和机构官员的责任;委员会的组成;委员会的责任、运作和权力;伦理申请和审查程序;对动物护理和使用以及培训和能力的监督和监测;质量保证;以及其他责任方的作用。其目的是让非洲机构采用和调整该准则,并在相关情况下与现有的国家立法和标准保持一致,从而确保将其纳入实践。从更广泛的意义上讲,《准则》是非洲日益增多的有关为科学目的护理和使用动物的道德考量和适当标准的讨论的重要组成部分。在非洲各地建立更多运作适当的动物伦理委员会和健全的伦理审查程序,将提高研究质量和文化,加强社会对动物作为有生命的存在的认识,改善动物福祉,提高动物护理和使用标准,并促进社会经济的可持续发展。

As a step towards implementing non-aversive handling techniques at a big mouse breeding facility in Germany, tunnel handling was introduced in a breeding unit comprising three inbred mouse strains. To assess whether tunnel handling would be feasible for the animal technicians in their everyday work and beneficial for the mice when being handled during weekly cage change only, the behaviour of tunnel- and tail-handled animals of both sexes was examined before, during and after the handling events over a period of nine weeks. Moreover, the time expenditure was compared between both handling techniques. It was possible to use the tunnel in all three mouse strains. However, the impact of the handling techniques on the behavioural parameters investigated in the present study were strain-specific. All behavioural parameters suggested that NZW mice benefited the most from tunnel handling. The results obtained from Hello Kitty and WNK mice were ambiguous, which may suggest that a brief handling session during the cage clean may have not been sufficient to habituate them to the process of handling. It took the animal technicians approximately 3 seconds longer per mouse when using a tunnel. The strain-specific results should encourage researchers to share their experiences with non-aversive handling techniques in different mouse strains, for example, along with their research articles.

作为德国一家大型小鼠育种机构实施无逆行操作技术的第一步,该机构在由三个近交系小鼠组成的育种单元中引入了隧道操作技术。为了评估隧道式操作对动物技术人员的日常工作是否可行,以及仅在每周换笼时对小鼠进行操作是否有益,我们对隧道式操作和尾部操作的雌雄小鼠在操作前、操作中和操作后的行为进行了为期九周的研究。此外,还比较了两种处理方法所花费的时间。所有三个品系的小鼠都可以使用隧道。然而,本研究调查的处理技术对行为参数的影响是因品系而异的。所有行为参数都表明,NZW小鼠从隧道处理中获益最多。Hello Kitty和WNK小鼠的结果不明确,这可能表明在清理笼子时进行的短暂操作不足以使它们习惯操作过程。使用隧道时,动物技术人员处理每只小鼠的时间大约延长了 3 秒钟。针对不同品系的研究结果应鼓励研究人员在撰写研究文章时分享他们在不同品系小鼠中使用非逆转操作技术的经验。

The laboratory mouse is used extensively for human disease modeling and preclinical therapeutic testing for efficacy, biodistribution, and toxicity. The variety of murine models available, and the ability to create new ones, eclipses all other species, but the size of mice and their organs create challenges for many in vivo studies. For pulmonary research, improved methods to access murine airways and lungs, and track substances administered to them, would be desirable. A nonsurgical endoscopic system with a camera, effectively a bronchoscope, coupled with a cryoimaging fluorescence microscopy technique to view the lungs in 3D, is described here that allows visualization of the procedure, including the anatomical location at which substances are instilled and fluorescence detection of those substances. We have applied it to bacterial infection studies to characterize better and optimize a chronic lung infection murine model in which we instill bacteria-laden agarose beads into the airways and lungs to extend the duration of the infection and inflammation. The use of the endoscope as guidance for placing a catheter into the airways is simple and quick, requiring only momentary sedation, and reduces post-procedural mortality compared with our previous instillation method that includes a trans-tracheal surgery. The endoscopic method improves speed and precision of delivery while reducing the stress on animals and the number of animals generated and used for experiments.

实验室小鼠被广泛用于人类疾病建模和临床前治疗试验的功效、生物分布和毒性。小鼠模型的多样性和创造新模型的能力使所有其他物种黯然失色,但小鼠的大小和它们的器官给许多体内研究带来了挑战。对于肺部研究来说,改进进入小鼠气道和肺部的方法,并追踪给它们的物质,将是可取的。本文介绍了一种非手术内窥镜系统,该系统带有一个摄像头,实际上是一个支气管镜,再加上冷冻成像荧光显微镜技术,可以在3D中观察肺部,从而实现手术过程的可视化,包括物质注入的解剖位置和这些物质的荧光检测。我们将其应用于细菌感染研究,以更好地表征和优化慢性肺部感染小鼠模型,在该模型中,我们将细菌负载琼脂糖珠注入气道和肺部,以延长感染和炎症的持续时间。使用内窥镜作为引导将导管置入气道简单快捷,只需要短暂的镇静,与我们之前的包括经气管手术的插管方法相比,降低了术后死亡率。内窥镜方法提高了输送的速度和精度,同时减少了对动物的压力以及产生和用于实验的动物的数量。

Case report: An adverse response to cyclosporin A treatment in BALB/cJ mice. 病例报告:BALB/cJ小鼠对环孢素A治疗的不良反应。
IF 2.4 4区 农林科学 Q1 Veterinary Pub Date : 2023-12-01 Epub Date: 2023-07-03 DOI: 10.1177/00236772231177857

Cyclosporin A (CsA) is an immunosuppressive drug that has been widely used in mice at a range of doses from 10 to 200 mg/kg. Our group carried out an experiment in 2016 where we delivered 75 mg/kg CsA (NeoralTM) to BALB/cJ mice by oral gavage to enable wart formation in mice, which was moderately well-tolerated. We recently commenced another study using the same dose and route of delivery of CsA in BALB/cJ mice in order to immune suppress mice to make them susceptible for mouse papillomavirus infection. We highlight in this case report that in contrast to our earlier study, we observed almost immediate unexpected toxicity and had to terminate the recent experiment after only five days of treatment. Seven to eight-week-old female BALB/cJ mice were treated with 75 mg/kg of CsA by oral gavage daily for five days before treatment was stopped due to body weight loss and mice becoming moribund. The probability of survival of the mice following CsA treatment was 80% in this study, compared with 98% in our 2016 study. Mice showed signs of probable acute kidney injury, which was reversible following withdrawal of CsA. Although it is unclear why the clinical response to CsA in BALB/cJ mice differed markedly between the two experiments, this case report highlights the risk of CsA to mouse welfare. CD3 depletion has been used rather than CsA treatment in other studies and should be considered as an alternative to CsA treatment as it is immune-selective, and may be more effective at enabling wart formation in mice.

环孢素A (CsA)是一种免疫抑制药物,已广泛用于小鼠,剂量范围为10至200 mg/kg。我们小组在2016年进行了一项实验,我们通过灌胃给BALB/cJ小鼠75 mg/kg CsA (NeoralTM),使小鼠能够形成疣,并具有中等良好的耐受性。我们最近开始了另一项研究,在BALB/cJ小鼠中使用相同剂量和递送途径的CsA,以免疫抑制小鼠,使其对小鼠乳头瘤病毒感染易感。我们在这个病例报告中强调,与我们早期的研究相反,我们几乎立即观察到意想不到的毒性,并且在治疗五天后不得不终止最近的实验。7 ~ 8周龄BALB/cJ雌性小鼠每天灌胃CsA 75 mg/kg,连续5 d,因体重下降和小鼠死亡而停止治疗。在本研究中,CsA治疗后小鼠的存活率为80%,而我们2016年的研究为98%。小鼠表现出可能的急性肾损伤迹象,这在停用CsA后是可逆的。虽然目前尚不清楚为什么BALB/cJ小鼠对CsA的临床反应在两种实验中有显著差异,但本病例报告强调了CsA对小鼠健康的风险。在其他研究中,CD3消耗已被用于而不是CsA治疗,并且应被视为CsA治疗的替代方法,因为它具有免疫选择性,并且可能更有效地使小鼠形成疣。

Pigs are widely used in metabolic research with procedures often requiring general anaesthesia. The aim was to investigate the effect of four different anaesthetic protocols: 1) isoflurane inhalation, 2) propofol infusion, 3) a mixture of tiletamine, zolazepam, medetomidine, ketamine and butorphanol (TZMKB)) and 4) ketamine combined with midazolam and xylazine (KMX)) on selected biomarkers during basal and glucose stimulated conditions. Eight domestic pigs were included in a cross-over design. Plasma concentrations of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, cortisol, triglycerides, total cholesterol, aspartate amino transferase and alanine amino transferase, creatinine, urea, fructosamine, albumin, free fatty acids (FFAs) and glycerol were measured at baseline, during 2 h of anaesthesia and during 1 h of recovery. Intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT, 0.5 g glucose/kg) was performed after 1 h of anaesthesia. Glucose disappearance rate and areas under the insulin, C-peptide and glucagon curves from the IVGTT were calculated. All four anaesthetic protocols affected glucose metabolism parameters significantly compared with un-anaesthetised pigs, which was particularly evident during IVGTT and for TZMKB and KMX anaesthesia. Propofol additionally influenced the plasma concentrations of triglycerides, FFAs and glycerol significantly. The remaining circulating biomarkers were largely unaffected by anaesthesia. These data underline the importance of considering the anaesthetic protocol in porcine studies of circulating metabolic biomarkers.

猪被广泛用于代谢研究,通常需要全身麻醉。目的是研究四种不同麻醉方案:1)异氟醚吸入,2)异丙酚输注,3)替乐他明、唑拉西泮、美托咪定、氯胺酮和布托啡诺(TZMKB)混合,4)氯胺酮联合咪达唑仑和噻嗪(KMX)在基础和葡萄糖刺激条件下对选定生物标志物的影响。8头家猪进行交叉试验。在基线、麻醉2小时和恢复1小时时测定血浆中葡萄糖、胰岛素、c肽、胰高血糖素、皮质醇、甘油三酯、总胆固醇、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶和丙氨酸氨基转移酶、肌酐、尿素、果糖胺、白蛋白、游离脂肪酸(FFAs)和甘油的浓度。麻醉1 h后进行静脉葡萄糖耐量试验(IVGTT, 0.5 g葡萄糖/kg)。计算IVGTT的葡萄糖消失率及胰岛素、c肽和胰高血糖素曲线下面积。与未麻醉猪相比,所有四种麻醉方案都显著影响了糖代谢参数,这在IVGTT和TZMKB和KMX麻醉期间尤为明显。异丙酚还显著影响甘油三酯、游离脂肪酸和甘油的血浆浓度。其余的循环生物标志物基本上不受麻醉的影响。这些数据强调了在猪循环代谢生物标志物研究中考虑麻醉方案的重要性。

A breeding pair of genetically engineered laboratory mice (Mus musculus) presented in apparent copulatory lock (coital tie). After anesthetizing the animals, gentle traction was used to separate the pair at which point a vaginal prolapse was detected and the penis was covered with black, firm, dry crusts and noted to have a solid pale, tan, firm cylindrical mass adhering to its glans. The vaginal prolapse was reduced and the female was returned to its cage. The male mouse had a severely distended bladder which could not be expressed and was euthanized. Histopathologic examination of the distal two-thirds of the penis revealed diffuse, acute coagulative necrosis. The mass adhered to the distal penis was a homogenous granular eosinophilic material consistent with a copulatory plug. While copulatory plugs and locks have been described in some rodent species, they have not been reported in laboratory mice. While the cause of the adherence of the plug to the penis could not be determined, we hypothesize that its adherence to both the penis and the vagina led to the lock and subsequently to ischemic necrosis of the distal penis.

一对基因工程实验小鼠(小家鼠)表现出明显的交配锁(交合)。麻醉动物后,用轻柔的牵引将它们分开,此时发现阴道脱垂,阴茎上覆盖着黑色、坚硬、干燥的结痂,并注意到有一个坚实的苍白、褐色、坚硬的圆柱形肿块附着在其龟头上。阴道脱垂减少,雌性被放回笼子。雄鼠膀胱严重膨胀,无法表达,被安乐死。阴茎远端三分之二的组织病理学检查显示弥漫性急性凝固性坏死。附着在阴茎远端的肿块是一种均匀的颗粒状嗜酸性物质,与性交塞一致。虽然在一些啮齿动物物种中描述了交配堵塞和锁,但在实验室小鼠中尚未报道。虽然无法确定堵塞阴茎的原因,但我们假设它同时粘附在阴茎和阴道上,导致阴茎远端锁定并随后缺血性坏死。
