It would be clinically advantageous to develop a method of body temperature evaluation in cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) that did not require sedation, restraint, surgical manipulation, or expensive equipment.
Body temperatures of 51 cynomolgus macaques were taken with rectal thermometry and non-contact infrared thermometry (NIFT) on the shoulder, face, abdomen, and axillary region.
Body temperature measurements from NIFT were statistically different (P < 0.0001) from rectal thermometry. In addition, there was greater between- and within-subject variability in values using NIFT. There was no correlation between any sites of the NIFT and rectal thermometry. It was concluded that NIFT was not a valid alternative to rectal thermometry in cynomolgus macaques.
开发一种用于食蟹猕猴(Macaca fascicularis)体温评估的方法,该方法不需要镇静、约束、手术操作或昂贵设备,在临床上将具有优势。
对51只食蟹猕猴的体温采用直肠测温法以及在肩部、面部、腹部和腋窝区域使用非接触式红外测温法(NIFT)进行测量。
NIFT测量的体温与直肠测温法在统计学上存在差异(P < 0.0001)。此外,使用NIFT时,受试者之间和受试者内部的值变异性更大。NIFT的任何部位与直肠测温法之间均无相关性。得出的结论是,在食蟹猕猴中,NIFT不是直肠测温法的有效替代方法。
