Influenza A viruses (IAVs) pose a global health threat, contributing to hundreds of thousands deaths and millions hospitalizations annually. The two major surface glycoproteins IAVs, hemagglutinin (HA) neuraminidase (NA), are important antigens in eliciting neutralizing antibodies protection against disease. However, NA is generally ignored the formulation development influenza vaccines. In this study, we evaluate immunogenicity efficacy challenge novel virus-like particles (VLPs) vaccine...
Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) is an enzyme that converts pro-apoptotic ceramide and sphingosine into anti-apoptotic sphingosine-1-phosphate. There growing evidence SPHK1 activation promotes oncogenic transformation, tumor growth, chemotherapy resistance, metastatic spread. High expression has been associated with a poor prognosis in several human cancers.In the present study, level of was examined feline mammary (FMT) specimens, IHC histological grade FMTs. analysis 88 FMT cases revealed...
Numerous cases of black-faced spoonbills (Platalea minor) showing signs limberneck and flaccid paralysis the legs wings were suspected to be suffering from botulism by veterinarians in Tainan County, Taiwan February March 2015. Most sick birds completely recovered successfully released following treatment with antiserum botulinum toxin type C. However, 10 remaining still suffered curled claws stood on tarsometatarsal joints. They transferred Endemic Species Research Institute for further...
Although metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) is known to play a role in cancer invasion and metastasis of various cancers, the clinical significance its expression canine urothelial carcinoma (UC) has not been explored. We sought evaluate MTA1, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) E-cadherin (E-cad) association with clinicopathological parameters samples UC. Here, we show that MTA1 COX2 are overexpressed UC compared normal bladder samples, whereas E-cad levels higher bladder. The results demonstrated...
Abstract The zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) model is increasingly popular in neurobehavioral research, and behavioral outcomes are commonly evaluated studies on neurodegeneration neurotoxicity. Sex age have been identified as important variables cognition studies; however, these factors often underreported published that use the model, leading to uncertainty about their impact T‐maze experiments. In this study, we role of sex cognitive function using a 5‐day task. Our results demonstrated female...
Summary A 1‐day‐old American Paint Horse was presented for a large air‐filled mass along the ventral aspect of neck. Bronchoscopy and oesophagoscopy revealed no sign communication with trachea or oesophagus. Radiographs computed tomography scan neck identified communicating tract between lumen cystic mid‐trachea. The foal systemically healthy at this initial presentation, delayed removal cyst recommended to allow further maturation prior undergoing general anaesthesia. Upon discharge,...
An adult female osprey (Pandion haliaetus) was found weak and unable to fly in Auburn, Alabama August 2019. The bird captured submitted the Southeastern Raptor Center of Auburn University College Veterinary Medicine for evaluation. On presentation, thin with a body condition score approximately 1.5 out 5. died during examination necropsy. At necropsy, there severe loss muscle mass over body, keel prominent. liver spleen were moderately enlarged pale tan red foci randomly scattered throughout...
This is a rare case of wild squirrel that was diagnosed with angiostrongyliasis characterized by the presence larvae-induced eosinophilic meningoencephalomyelitis. A wild, intact, male Pallas’s (Callosciurus erythraeus) unknown age presented history progressive paralysis in both forelimbs and hindlimbs. Gradually, showed signs deterioration, found dead submitted for complete pathological diagnosis. Necropsy revealed severe diffuse congestion subarachnoid space brain mild spinal cord....
Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility of a novel technique involving vessel and tissue–sealing device (VTSD) for ovariectomy in chickens to evaluate potential application procedure other avian species. ANIMALS 20 domestic laying hens ( Gallus domesticus ), which 10 were immature (< 4 months old) adults (> 18 old). PROCEDURES Ovariectomy was performed with VTSD through left lateral celiotomy. Birds allowed recover 14 days after then euthanized necropsy. A board-certified...
A young female Reeves’s muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) was presented with signs of weakness and inability to stand. Radiographic examination revealed a healed bone fracture in the right radius ulna. The animal failed respond therapy died two days later. At necropsy, serous atrophy mainly present subcutis skull ventral cervical skin. Muscular also evident, especially around femur. Multiple calluses newly developed fractures were distributed on both sides ribs. Microscopically, decreased...
