The purpose of this investigation was to develop a non-invasive technique to artificially inseminate snakes using the corn snake, Elaphe gutatta, as the model representative for this taxon. Semen was collected by first applying pressure to the lower abdomen in a continuous distal motion toward the cloaca to remove any feces or urates. The cloaca was then gently washed using phosphate-buffered saline, and a more localized pressure was applied to each side of the vent to evert the hemipenes and, subsequently, the ejaculate. The semen was collected using a sterile transfer pipette and placed into 70 to 90 �L of medium (TL-HEPES solution; Cambrex Bio Science, Inc., Baltimore, MD, USA04–616F) in a sterile microcentrifuge tube, and then analyzed for overall motility, rate of forward progression (RFP, 0–5), and concentration. Based on a previously reported procedure, 10 females were inseminated with either fresh (n = 5) or cooled semen (n = 5; refrigerated for 3 days) one week after recovering from a hibernation period required to stimulate reproduction in this species. The overall sperm motility and concentration for females inseminated with fresh or cooled semen was 92%, 9.6 million sperm mL-1; and 85%, 6.1 million sperm mL-1, respectively. Immediately prior to insemination, the same method for expressing feces and urates in the males was applied to the females. The insemination dose (50 �L semen per oviduct) was drawn into a 1-mL latex- and silicone-free tuberculin syringe (Norm-Ject; VWR, Batavia, IL, USA) that was connected to a feeding/dosing needle (EJAY International, Issaquah, WA, USA) with a ball tip to prevent any potential damage during the insemination. The tip of the needle was then moved around the inner tissue of the vent to relax the cloaca, and the insertion continued until resistance was found indicating the vicinity of the oviducts. The extended semen was carefully deposited on both sides, and then the needle was slowly withdrawn. The offspring were tested for parentage to verify the success of the insemination. Blood was collected from the dorsal aorta posterior to the cloaca and stored in 10 mM Tris at 4�C. The DNA was extracted using a phenyl : chloroform : isoamyl alcohol (PCI) extraction method. Eight microsatellite loci were used for the paternity exclusion analysis: Eob�1, Eob�3, Eob�10, Eob�13, Eob�16, Eob�34, Eob�366, and Eob�373 (IDT, Coraville, IA, USA). All males and females in the collection were tested, and parental candidates were excluded if 2 or more allele mismatches occurred. From the total number of females inseminated, 3 females laid 51 eggs. Two females inseminated with cooled semen laid 36 eggs, of which 5 eggs were hatched, and the remaining were either unfertilized (n = 25) or non-viable (n = 6). All 5 hatched eggs were laid by one of the females. The third female inseminated with fresh semen laid 15 eggs, resulting in 5 hatching and 10 unfertilized eggs. The parentage test validated the AI a success as the alleles correlated between the adults and the offspring. In conclusion, artificial insemination was successful using both freshly collected and cooled (3 days) semen. Further studies are underway to improve the success rate in order to maximize the efficiency of this technology, and thus assist in the genetic preservation of endangered snake species.

A 32-year-old housewife was treated for recurrent pericardial effusion with repeated pericardiocentesis and pleuropericardial window formation after a diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. The biopsied pericardium revealed nonspecific inflammation. In spite of continuing antituberculosis medication, she did not improve and the pericardial effusion increased with emerging signs of progressive right heart failure. A pericardiectomy was performed and multiple masses with a cobblestone appearance were found on the entire epicardium and the great vessels. The partially excised masses showed mesothelial hyperplasia and capillary hemangioma. The pericardial effusion continued and radiation therapy (2,000 cGy/2 weeks) was given with corticosteroid to control immune thrombocytopenic purpura. On the 87th postoperative day, a left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed to remove a large pleural hematoma which was compressing the left atrium and the left ventricle. We found extensive spread of the hemangioma into the pleural cavity along the intercostal vessels. The patient died 3 days later from massive uncontrollable hemorrhage.
