Bacterial prostatitis was successfully induced in 30 dogs by the injection of E. coli into a branch of a prostatic artery. Inflammation was proven histologically in all cases and by the appearance of E. coli in the prostatic secretion in all but two dogs. In these two dogs cultures from prostatic ti

β¦ Synopsis
Ten adult male mongrel dogs were inoculated with Chlamydia trachomatis by injections of 10(6) or 10(7) organisms directly into the prostate. We were able to recover Chlamydia 3 to 7 days later in three of four dogs receiving injections of 10(7) organisms. Eight of ten dogs developed detectable serum antibody to Chlamydia 14 to 68 days following inoculation. All dogs receiving 10(7) Chlamydia and two of six dogs receiving 10(6) organisms developed histological signs of prostatic hyperplasia. Thus, the dog may be a model for establishment of chlamydial prostatitis and may be used for further investigations of this disease.

Immediate reintervention is necessary when vascular insufficiency is suspected in free bone transfers. We tested the reliability of the laser doppler bone probe in recording steady state and arterial and venous occlusion. During steady state the flux signal was not constant but fluctuated. During ar
