SUMMARY The scope of the present work was to provide an scientific overview of the actually state of canine genetics of hereditary diseases. Causative mutations, inheritance modes, breed disposition and incidence of the single genetic defects in the affected dog populations have been outlined. Additionally a special focus aims on the gathering of actually available genetic tests for respective hereditary diseases within different dog breeds. The present state of science covers 76 genetically characterized hereditary diseases of the dog (status: January, 2009). Their inheritance mode, genetic basis, pathophysiology, breed dispositions and genetic control are shown here in detail. Up to date, 61 DNA tests are available for canine hereditary diseases. A compendium of the actually available genetic tests for the affected breeds with different suppliers is included in the appendix of this work. In the sector of genome analysis and screening tests for dogs, high research activity can be observed. This contributes to the specific suitability of the species dog as an animal model for the investigation of human hereditary diseases. The partial considerable inbreeding of some dog breeds leads to the appearance of numerous monogenetic hereditary diseases which are mostly of recessive nature. In addition, research results of the last few years demonstrate that these diseases are phenotypical or even genotypical homologues to human hereditary diseases. The number of the dog´s identified genetic mutations, which are connected to hereditary diseases, has increased in the past years and will increase continuously in the next years. An application of the enlarged genetic research results is as well of interest to the human medicine, as to the stockbreeding. The application of molecular-genetic screening methods offers dog breeders the possibility to determine the genetic status of their breeding dogs, to select healthy animals and to minimize future hereditary defects. The incidence of hereditary diseases can be reduced using genetic screening tests on the breeding dogs before breeding, introducing DNA of breeding dogs from other populations and avoiding the inbreeding within different pedigrees of dogs. Since a couple of years numerous screening and breeding programmes and the generation of genotype data banks are an obligation within many associations of dog breeders. This might accelerate an offbreeding of hereditary defects. The rising quantity of genetic screening tests and further investigation of undecoded mutations, will allow researches to amplify the understanding in the wide field of the polygene diseases. Relieving the succeeding generations of pedigree dogs from monogene and polygene hereditary sufferings is the future aim.

Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die morphologischen Parameter der Belastung an gesunden und osteoarthrotisch veränderten Schulter- und Ellbogengelenken mithilfe anatomischer und CT-osteoabsorptiometrischer Untersuchungen näher zu beschreiben. In die Untersuchungen wurden 52 Schultergelenke und 53 Ellbogengelenke einbezogen. Beim Schultergelenk steigt die subchondrale Knochendichte vor allem im Bereich ihrer Maxima mit zunehmender Degeneration des Gelenks an; dies trifft für das Ellbogengelenk nicht in vollem Umfang zu. Degenerative Schäden am Gelenkknorpel finden sich sowohl in druck- als auch dehnungsbelasteten Arealen der Gelenkfläche. Für Caput humeri, Condylus humeri und Ulna können Prädilektionsstellen für Knorpelläsionen angegeben werden, während dies bei Radius und Skapula mehr Schwierigkeiten bereitet. An keiner Gelenkfläche konnte eine gute Korrelation von Gelenkknorpeldicke und subchondraler Knochendichte nachgewiesen werden.

Anhand immunhistochemischer, ultrastruktureller, lichtmikroskopischer und glykohistochemischer Untersuchungen wurde der Nebenhoden des Hundes untersucht.

The objective of this study was to investigate anatomical and biomechanical parameters of the canine capal joint in order to determine the physiological situation of articular loading. 121 carpal joints of 61 dogs of varying age weighing more than 20 kg were examined. The joint angle of the carpal joint was measured in 50 standing dogs. Long term tensile stresses of the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone were determined by the split line method. The distal articular surface of the radius showed two different types of split line patterns, a clear transverse orientation or one singular attractive point at the dorsal rim of the articular surface. The split lines at the dorsal aspect of the radius diverged towards its distal end, which is an evidence of a transverse strain of the articular surface during loading. In all joints compressively loaded regions were located especially in the dorsal parts of the articular surfaces. The articular surfaces of the second carpal bone showed two different split line patterns depending on the weight of the dogs. The palmar aspects of the proximal articular surfaces of the metacarpal bones showed evident transverse tensile stress. The silicon cast method was used to determine the contact areas and Fuji pressure sensitive film to determine the contact pressures at different loading steps. In all joints of the carpus the contact areas increased nonlinear with an increasing loading rate. They never included more than 50% of the convexe articular surface. Contact areas in the antebrachiocarpal joint always were larger than those of the midcarpal and carpometacarpal joint at the same loading step, the latter being nearly identical for each loading step. Because of the hyperextension the antebrachiocarpal contact areas were located close to the dorsal edge of the articular surfaces, while in the midcarpal and carpometacarpal joint they reached further palmar. The centres of the contact pressures corresponded closely with the centres of the contact areas. Greater pressures in the antebrachiocarpal joint were located medially, in the midcarpal joint they were equally distributed over the whole articular surface, while in the carpometacarpal joint they were found laterally. The long term loading situation of the articular surfaces was investigated by means of computertomography-osteoabsorptiometry (CTOAM). Individual CT-datasets were matched onto one target joint surface. Thus the mean values of all bone density measurements of the subchondral bone could be visualized. Areas of high bone density were very consistent and coincided with the location of high compressive load in the split line investigation and the contact areas. In the antebrachiocarpal joint, areas with high bone density were found dorsomedially. In both the midcarpal and carpometacarpal joint they were more equally distributed over the joint surfaces. With increasing age the subchondral bone density increases as well. Furthermore the bone density maxima are more clearly demarcated in older animals. The joint angle of the carpal joint of standing dogs showed a significant correlation with the age of the animals. Body weight and breed did not have any influence. From the biomechanical point of view the distal radioulnar ligament is a tensile loaded structure which connects radius and ulna distally and inhibits a separation of the two bones in stress. Moreover it increases the congruence of the antebrachiocarpal joint and thus is stressed with compressive forces. Because of the physiologic hyperextension and valgus-angulation of the carpal joint the articulation with the greatest range of motion, the antebrachiocarpal joint, is loaded unilaterally. Due to the limited range of motion in both the midcarpal and carpometacarpal joint the load is equally distributed over the articular surface in these two joints.

Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die physiologische Belastungssituation im Kniegelenk des Hundes darzustellen. Dazu wurden die Kniegelenke von Hunden (männlich, weiblich) verschiedenen Alters und unterschiedlicher Größe und Rassen untersucht. Es wurden nur Tiere in die Studie eingeschlossen, deren Gelenke frei von makroskopischen Knorpelschäden und arthrotischen Knochenzubildungen waren. Mit Hilfe der Spaltliniendarstellung konnte die Vorzugsrichtung der Kollagenfasern im Gelenkknorpel und im subchondralen Knochen als morphologisches Korrelat für Dehnungsspannungen nachgewiesen werden. Zur Untersuchung der Kontaktstellen der Art. femoro-tibialis wurde in Druckversuchen mit stufenweise ansteigender Kraft Silikonabdrücke angefertigt und mit Druckfilmen, die auftretenden Gelenkdrücke quantitativ bestimmt. Zur Beurteilung der Langzeitbelastung des Gelenks wurde die subchondrale Knochendichte bestimmt. Die CT-Daten der gescannten Gelenke wurden mit der CTOAM (CT-Osteoabsorptiometrie) ausgewertet. Mit Hilfe der Bildregistrierung konnten alle Individualdatensätze auf ein Normgelenk projiziert werden und durch Übereinanderlagern ein Summationsbild mit der durchschnittlichen Knochendichteverteilung gewonnen werden. Die radiäre Orientierung der Spaltlinien auf der Tibia und die sagittale Verlaufsrichtung auf der Trochlea ossis femoris lässt auf dominierende Dehnungsspannungen schließen, wohingegen die teilweise spaltlinienfreien Bereiche der Patella als ein Zeichen dort auftetender Druckbelastung zu werten sind. Das sehr uneinheitliche Spaltlinienmuster auf den untersuchten Patellae lässt auf unterschiedliche individuelle Belastungssituationen in der Art. femoro-patellaris schließen. Die Druckversuche gaben bei kontinuierlichem Kraftanstieg keine lineare Vergrößerung der Kontaktflächen, sondern zeigten nach einem deutlichen Anstieg während der niedrigen Belastungsstufen (25-50% des Körpergewichts) in der mittleren Belastung ein Plateau und erst bei hoher Belastung (200-250% des Körpergewichts) eine erneute deutliche Größenzunahme. Bei der Untersuchung mit drucksensiblen Filmen wurden im Vergleich kleinere Kontaktflächen gefunden. Die Knochendichteverteilung in der Tibia- und Femurgelenkfläche zeigen jeweils auf den Kondylen ein zentrales Dichtemaximum. Die konkave Facies articularis tibiae zeigt eine höhere Knochendichte als die korrespondierenden konvexen Femurkondylen. Die mittlere Knochendichte der Patella erreicht diese Werte nicht.

The aim of this work was the evaluation of literature about physiology of reproduction, assisted reproduction technologies and associated biotechniques in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris). In the bitch preovulatory follicular luteinization results in exposure of oocytes to increasing concentrations of progesterone 1-2 days prior to ovulation. Ovulation occurs approximately two days after the LH-peak. The bitch ovulates primary oocytes with intact germinal vesicle, which requires 2-5 days for the completion of the meiotic divisions within the oviduct. Artificial insemination (AI) in bitch can be performed either intravaginally or intrauterinely with fresh, chilled or frozen-thawed spermatozoa. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) may be carried out surgically by laparotomy or laparoscopy or non-surgically using transcervical cathetherization. In the bitch, IUI results in a high whelping rate and litter size comparable to those after natural mating. Cryopreservation of dog semen has been successfully accomplished and a variety of extenders, freezing and thawing protocols have been published. AI with cryopreserved semen generally yields lower pregnancy rates if intravaginal deposition of semen is used. A reliable method for synchronization and induction of a fertile oestrus cycle as well as superovulation by hormone treatment are not available. Canine oocytes may resume meiosis spontaneously in vitro, although at a much lower efficiency than in most other domestic species. In vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes results in 20 to 70 % oocytes entering germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Only 10 to 40 % oocytes progress to metaphase I to II. It has been shown, that cumulus morphology, stage of estrous cycle, oocyte size, cumulus-oocyte communication through gap junctions, age of oocyte donors, and serum supplementation of the culture medium influence the efficiency of IVM. Dog oocytes cultured within advanced preantral and early antral follicles in vitro are competent to resume meiosis and mature to the metaphase stage. The developmental potential of these oocytes was comparable to isolated cumulus oocyte complexes. The optimal culture conditions required for induction of capacitation and acrosomal exocytosis of canine sperm are yet to be established. Dog spermatozoa are able to penetrate the zona pellucida and the vitellus of homologous oocytes irrespective of the oocyte maturation stage. The developmental potential of fertilized dog oocytes in vitro is very low. Only one case of development to the blastocyst stage after in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been reported. The surgical transfer of ex vivo collected dog embryos resulted in birth of live puppys although the success rates were low. Up to date no reports of production of live pups after IVF from in vivo or in vitro matured dog oocytes exists. In one study three conceptuses were identified by ultrasonography twenty days after transfer of in vitro fertilised oocytes but no further development could be observed. Reliable protocols for cryopreservation of dog embryos have yet to be developed. Until recently, there has been limited interest in assisted reproduction techniques in the dogs. The rising significance of dogs as companion animals as well as interest in comparative aspects with wild-life canides will stimulate research in the fields of in vitro production of embryos, cryopreservation and embryo transfer of embryos.

Morphological and biomechanical characteristics of the canine hip joint (articulatio coxae) Morphological and biomechanical parameters of the canine hip joint have been investigated for the first time in order to determine the long term loading of the hip joint surfaces. 86 hip joints of 43 predominantly large breed dogs (average age 6 years) were examined. By means of CT-osteoabsorptiometry (CT-OAM) the subchondral bone density was determined qualitatively and quantitatively. The exact topographic distribution of the subchondral bone density was shown in three-dimensional reconstructions of the hip joints in false colour code. The distribution pattern was regularly tricentric with bone density maxima located in the cranial and caudal aspects of the joint surfaces as well as in the roof of the acetabulum and the perifoveal area of the caput ossis femoris. The anteversion of the Os femoris was determined by a computed tomographical method. The findings allowed the assumption of a causal relationship between a reduced anteversion angle and a shift of the density maxima to the medial part of the joint surface of the caput ossis femoris. The main direction of the collagen fibres in the joint cartilage and the subchondral bone were traced by means of the split line method. The split line pattern established proof of an existing tension and bending in the acetabulum. Moreover it identified areas of compressive stress on the surface of the joint (cranial and caudal aspect of the lunate surface and the femoral head). Biomechanical parameters such as contact areas as well as distribution and amount of pressure were determined experimentally under physiological load conditions representing the three leg stance during slow walking. These data were gained by casting material and pressure sensitive film. At low loads and physiological angulation contact areas were mainly found at the peripheral margin of the cranial and caudal part of the facies lunata and caput ossis femoris. At the cranial roof of the acetabulum a joint space was evident in the loaded specimens up to 75% body weight. Under increasing loads the contact areas expanded towards the joint centre. The maximal contact pressure ranged from 8 to10 MPa under a load of 400% body weight. Areas of load transfer showed a more obvious bi- and tricentric distribution pattern than contact areas. With increasing loads areas of load transfer expanded to a uniform area. The results of this study established proof of the inhomogeneous load distribution in the canine hip joint. For the first time it was shown that the canine hip joint is not congruous as commonly assumed but maintains a physiological incongruity. This guarantees for an optimal load distribution in the joint and for a better nutrition of the joint cartilage. Further, it was shown that osteoarthrosis more often exists in those areas of inhomogeneously loaded joint surfaces which are exposed to larger mechanical stress a priori.
