The present study describes the pathogenetic mechanisms of myocarditis in 9 lambs that died a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak Samsun, Turkey. In all heart samples tested, ELISA and sequencing for phylogenetic analyses showed virus, namely O/TUR/Samsun/05, was associated with PanAsia pandemic strain virus (FMDV) type O. had myocardial lesions but no typical vesicular lesions. situ reverse transcription many cardiomyocytes some interstitial cells were positive FMDV Inflammatory infiltration,...

Abstract The present study was conducted to determine macroanatomic characteristic as well light and electron microscopic examination (SEM) of pecten oculi totally 20 bulbus belonging 10 seagulls ( Larus canus ) were used. Pecten formations consisted 18 21 pleats their shape looked like a snail. Apical length the forming averagely measured 5.77 ± 0.56 mm, retina‐dependent base 9.01 1.35 mm height 6.4 0.62 mm. In which extend up 1/3 oculi, two different vascular determined according thickness...

We investigated the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) in cerebellums dogs infected with canine distemper virus (CDV) using immunohistochemistry to detect autophagy. The 20 CDV were used. Specimens showing demyelination white matter considered have an acute infection, whereas specimens signs severe perivascular cuffing and classified as having chronic CDV. Cerebellar sections immunostained LC3 antibodies. cytoplasm Purkinje cells, granular layer motor neurons...

A fibroadenoma was diagnosed in the left udder of a 3-month-old female Chios lamb.No recurrence observed after surgery.Grossly, tumor had whitishgray lobular appearance, and lobules were interlaced with thin septa.Microscopically, composed proliferating fibroepithelial tissue, including differentiated ducts lined by whorls interlacing bundles abundant loose fibrovascular stroma.Immunohistochemistry revealed ductal epithelium to be positive for pancytokeratin (AE1/AE3) stroma vimentin basal...

This study describes the expression of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) and alpha-basic-crystallin (α-BC) their association with apoptosis some related adaptor proteins in pathogenesis foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV)-induced myocarditis lambs. HSP70 was generally overexpressed myocardial tissues inflammatory cells FMDV-induced differential accumulation localization same hearts when compared to non-foot-and-mouth control hearts. α-BC immunolabeling showed coarse aggregations Z line...

No previous studies have examined the effect of sildenafil on fracture healing. This study was designed to investigate healing process.Thirty-six female Sprague-Dawley rats (3-month-old) were used in this study. Animals randomly divided into 2 groups based treatment duration (1 week versus 4 weeks) and each group then further subgroups, control (C) (S) groups. Group C (C1, C2) treated daily with saline solution S (S1, S2) 10 mg/kg sildenafil. Histologic, histomorphometric, radiological,...

Summary A 5‐day‐old Simmental calf was referred to our department for atresia ani and postural abnormalities caused by skeletal deformities. The had a short deviated tail bowed hind limb. appeared like male because of the prepuce penis located just near teats absence female external genitalia. During necropsy, horseshoe kidney, single ureter that originated from bilateral uterine horns with one ovary each were detected. ureter, blind‐ended large intestine, connected dilated cloaca having two...

Summary The aim of the study was to investigate and compare effects N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) resveratrol on acute phase response in rats with experimentally induced arthritis. In this study, 30 Sprague-Dawley mature were inoculated two doses Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) by means intradermal injections into left hind claws all rats. Rats divided three groups at 15 th day arthritis formation process, 15% ethyl alcohol applied group 1 via i.p., NAC 2 i.p. 3 for 21 days. Following...

BACKGROUND: Although the molecular mechanism of cardiac healing is not fully understood, myocardial infarction one most usual diagnoses in hospitalized patients industrialized nations while periostin has been recently suggested to have a potential tissue repairing following ischemia.OBJECTIVES: To investigate effects on levels selected parameters (cardiac troponin I and T, creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB), antioxidant/lipid peroxidation (superoxide dismutase, catalase, malondialdehyde), hepatic...

Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of skin in cats. Tumour angiogenesis pivotal event for tumour progression and metastasis. We assessed protein gene expression angiogenic growth factors including bFGF, VEGF-C, TGF-β, PDGF-A, PDGF-C PDGFR-α that possibly contribute to phenotype feline SCC (FSCC) could, therefore, be a good target treatment SCC. In present study, total 27 FSCC cases were investigated. histopathologically classified as well...

Skin and subcutaneous tissue tumors are the most common neoplasms in dogs. The sites of origin dogs include digits, skin oral cavity including cheek retromandibular area. We investigated canine squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) samples from 15 classified them histopathologically according to degree differentiation. bFGF, VEGF-C, TGF-β, PDGF-A, PDGF-C PDGFR-α expressions were assessed using immunohistochemistry determine roles growth factors during SCC. found that TGF-β1 immunolabeling was...

Abstract Telocytes, new interstitial cells that have received significant attention in recent years, been detected many organs, including the heart. The distinction between telocytes and other can only be made based on their ultrastructural characterization immunophenotypic features. In this study, we examined healthy heart tissues of Saanen goats to determine whether they are or not, by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) immunohistochemical immunofluorescence staining methods. SEM...

Çalışma materyalini Karadeniz Bölgesinde yer alan Sinop İli'nin Gerze İlçe'sine ait yerel bir ırk olan ve bu yörede ötüşüyle görünümüyle tanınan horozu tavuğu oluşurdu.Larynx, trachea syrinx'in incelendiği çalışmada 7 erkek dişi olmak üzere toplam 14 hayvan kullanıldı.Larynx'in kıkırdaklarını tek cartilago cricoidea, procricoidea çift arytenoidea oluşturdu.Erkeklerdeki glottis genişliğinin (3,54±0,37) dişilerdekinden (1,35±0,42) fazla olduğu dikkat çekti.Dış larynx kasları m. cricohyoideus,...

Hepatic ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury has complex mechanisms. We investigated the effect of dexketoprofen on endogenous leptin and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 equal groups subjected to 1-hour different subsequent intervals. Dexketoprofen was administered in a dose 25 mg/kg 15 minutes before induction one-hour group, n = 6 (DIR1) group 6-hour six-hour (DIR6) group. In control groups, 0.9% physiologic serum (SF) (IR1) (IR6) Although (P 0.044) hepatic...

The aim of this study was to evaluate prognostic and/or diagnostic factors canine mammary tumors by immunohistochemically analyzing the expression alpha basic crystallin (αB-c). For this, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks 51 naturally-occurring (11 benign and 40 malignant) were used. Tissue from eight normal glands served as a control. Immunohistochemically, in control tissues, few luminal epithelial cells αB-c positive but myoepithelial negative. In or simple type malignant tumors,...
