Diabetes mellitus, an endocrine and metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia and low blood insulin or target organs insensitivity to insulin affects life quality due to its complications. Infertility is a complication in diabetes. Various agents have been used for research on diabetes-induced infertility globally, but there are little documented treatments for diabetes associated infertility. Allium cepa scaly leaves extract (ACSLE) possess anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic activities. This study investigated the effects of ACSLE on reproductive dysfunctions in male diabetic rats. Twenty eight male rats were assigned to 4 groups (n=7): CT (control); DNT (streptozotocin, 60 mg/kg once, intraperitoneal), DT1 and DT2 (streptozotocin, 60 mg/kg once, intraperitoneal, ACSLE 125 and 250 mg/kg rat/day respectively). Organ samples were obtained after 2 weeks and testicular weights recorded. Fasting blood glucose was determined using a digital glucometer. Sperm count, motility, viability and morphology were assessed microscopically. Testes were histologically evaluated. Glucose levels were reduced in DT1 and DT2 compared with DNT. Testes weights increased in DT1and DT2 compared with DNT. Sperm concentration increased in DT1 and DT2 compared with DNT motility increased in DT1 and DT2 compared with DNT; viability increased significantly in DT1 and DT2 compared with DNT. Abnormal sperm morphology decreased in DT1 and DT2 compared with DNT. Testes showed degenerated cells in DNT and no lesions in DT1 and DT2. Reduced blood glucose, improved testicular functions and morphology showed that ACSLE ameliorated reproductive dysfunctions associated with streptozotocin-induced diabetes in male Wistar rats.

There are several antioxidant supplements using for reproductivity and life quality, especially herbal ones. Nowadays, herbal antioxidants especially Spirulina platensis has been still interested due to protective role on oxidant antioxidant balance and health. The present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of different doses of S.platensis on important oxidant molecule MDA (TBA, oxidant malondialdeyhde), and individual antioxidants as GPx (glutathione peroxidase), CAT (catalase) and SOD (superoxide dismutase) in healthy rats. For this purpose, we used thirty Wistar Albino male rats in three groups: Control, Low Dose Spirulina (500 mg kg-1) and High Dose Spirulina (1000 mg kg-1). S.platensis additives were given by oral gavage daily under a long forty five day of trial. At the end of the study, interestingly, all the antioxidants GPx, CAT, SOD and the oxidant MDA lipid peroxidation values were decreased in group high dose Spirulina compared to Control (p < 0.05). In spite of these decreases, testis weights and indexes were increased in group high dose Spirulina compared to Control significantly. The testis weights and indexes evaluated for normal health of animals. It can be considered that due to the excessive protein and antioxidants features of S.platensis, oxidant and antioxidant mechanisms may be changed. However it can be said that Spirulina can compensate the homeostasis and health of animals. It is also considered that the applications and different doses of S.platensis are needed to be assayed for further studies.

Ticks play an important role in human and veterinary medicine particularly due to their ability to transmit protozoan pathogens. This study was undertaken on salivary gland of tick using histological methods to decrease cost and budget to determine the presence of tick-borne pathogens of medical and veterinary importance. Ticks have been proved as carrier or vector of pathogenic protozoa by separating salivary gland and using histological methods. This study provides the morphological and histological properties of the salivary glands of semi-engorged Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum females. Unfed ticks solely were placed on cattle’s ear for feeding and females were collected, and placed in glass vials containing 70% ethanol. Collected ticks were studied and identified morphologically. Dorsal exoskeleton removed with a scalpel and salivary glands were separated by suitable forceps. Then Salivary glands were fixed in 10% formalin for further studies by light microscopy. Samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) for investigation under light microscope. The histological results show that the glandular tissue in females is combined with a system of ducts and the salivary glands of H. a. anatolicum consisted of three types of acinus (acinus I, II and III). The type I acinus was agranular and showed slight morphological changes during feeding. There were five granular cell types in the type II acinus, and three granular cell types in type III acinus. Data achieved here will help in understanding of the cellular morphology and general histology of these organs in this specie, preparing important information for the creation of scientific bases which will contribute to the development of more specific and efficient methods of control.

The aim of this study is to determine the relative feed value (RFV), relative forage quality (RFQ) and net energy lactation (NEL) values of some roughage samples, based on the measurements taken from two different near infrared reflectance (NIR) devices. Corn silage (n = 18), alfalfa (n = 9), oat grass hay (n = 15), wheat straw (n = 10) were used as roughage samples and NIR measurements were taken from these samples in two ways. In the study, two different NIR (NIR1, NIR2) devices were used and nutrient values of roughage samples which were used were determined. The reference chemical analyzes of the roughage samples used in the study were made in the laboratory as dry matter. After the determination of the nutritional values, by adding these nutritional values (Dry matter, ether extract, crude protein, ash, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber) to the RFV, RFQ, NEL equations, RFV, RFQ and NEL values of each roughage sample were calculated. Meanwhile, the roughage samples used in the study were also analyzed in NIR devices and after the nutritional values were determined, these nutritional values were written in the RFV, RFQ, NEL equations thus RFV, RFQ, NEL values of each roughage samples were calculated separately for each device. Relationships between predictions obtained from NIR1 and NIR2 devices and reference chemical analysis values were determined by statistical tests. It was determined that the type of device and sample used had an important effect on the relationships between the results obtained from the reference analyzes and the predictions based on NIR measurements. Regression coefficients between RVF, RFQ and NEL values obtained from NIR1 and NIR2 devices and RVF, RFQ and NEL values obtained from reference (REF) analysis were determined to be 0.37 and 0.50. Among the roughage types, the highest similarity between NIR results and reference analysis results was found in alfalfa samples. The study results showed that indirect estimation by NIR relating to RVF, RFQ and NEL parameters is possible depending on the sample type and that there is a need for calibration improvement studies to determine these parameters directly with NIR.

This study aims to determine the levels of dry matter, crude protein, and starch widely used in ruminant feeding, in dairy and beef cattle mixed feeds based on the measurements taken from two different Near-Infrared Reflectance (NIR) devices. The chemical analyses of the mixed feed samples used in the study were performed and the reference values (REF) were determined. In the research, two different NIR devices, a Benchtop-NIR and a Portable-NIR, were used and the nutrient values of mixed feeds were analyzed with these devices. It was determined that there were statistically significant differences between the reference method and NIR results for protein and starch content. Although the differences between the mean values were significant, the reference analyses results and NIR measurements were similar in some ways. According to the correlation coefficients calculated between the reference analyses with Benchtop-NIR and Portable-NIR devices, there was a weak correlation in the dry matter content, while a strong positive correlation existed in the protein (r = 0.72 for Portable, r = 0.93 for Benchtop NIR) and starch content. In the study, 30 different mixed feed (dairy cattle feed, beef cattle feed) values that are commonly used in ruminant feeding were measured.

The study mentioned here was designed to investigate both bacterial pathogens and risk factors associated with the occurrence of naval ill in calves. A total of 350 calves diagnosed to have navel ill formed the population in our study. Incidence density reports representing the period between 2009 and 2018 were obtained from Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Bangladesh Agricultural University where information about age, sex, breed, seasonal effect was also included. Umbilical swab from each individual suffering from confirmed navel ill was collected for microbiological study. The occurrence of navel ill in the age of <30 days (n = 244, 69.71%) was noted higher compared to the age of ≥30 days (n = 106, 30.29%). Male calves were highly susceptible (n = 192, 54.86%) compared to females (n=158, 45.14%). In cross breed individuals, the occurrence was higher (n = 330, 94.29%) in regard of indigenous calves (n=20, 5.71%). The occurrence of the illness in summer (March-June) was more common (n = 159, 45.43%) in comparison to both rainy (n = 111, 31.71%) and winter (n = 80, 22.86%) seasons. In term of microbiological study, Staphylococcus aureus , E. coli and Proteus spp. were identified and isolated from the infected areas of the calves with the disease. In conclusion, navel ill occurred more commonly in male calves with the age of less than one month. The appearance of navel ill was noted to be more frequently in summer season (March-June) in cross breed calves. The results also demonstrated that the condition is mediated by mixed bacterial infection formed by gram-positive and gram-negative agents which induce the initial inflammation .

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using dynamic axial external fixator combined with cross pins in the treatment of distal metacarpal fractures in calves. The results of distal metaphyseal metacarpal fractures treated with this method in six calves (four females, two males) were examined. The ages of the patients were 17.16 ± 13.22 and their weight was 52 ± 9.48. The calves were born by pulling during labor and they could not stand up after birth. The clinical and radiological examinations found a distal metaphyseal metacarpal fracture. Dynamic axial external fixator with cross pin support was applied to all patients in the operative treatment. The patients' foot postures, stepping, walking and running were found to be smooth and adequate in the postoperative examination. Therefore, cross-pin supported dynamic axial external fixation was found to be a strong enough, well-tolerated and easy-to-apply technique which can be used especially in the treatment of open and infected metacarpal fractures.

Therefore, cross-pin supported dynamic axial external fixation was found to be a strong enough, well-tolerated and easy-to-apply technique which can be used especially in the treatment of open and infected metacarpal fractures.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"05 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128278472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The case report was consisted of two puppies with the complaint of chronic vomiting after feeding. The dogs were vomiting after eating and their abdominal areas were tense. Also, growth retardation was present. Accumulation of the contrast material was seen at the thoracic part of the esophagus with indirect radiographs in both cases. The cranial and caudal widths of the stricture in the esophagus were measured before and after surgery. The cranial and caudal parts of the stricture were found both dilated. The ligament that causing stricture was dissected by surgery and the stricture area was enlarged by balloon esophagoplasty. Case 1 was died on 2nd hour postoperatively, while Case 2 fully recovered and healed. In Case 2, the diameter of the prestenotic and poststenotic esophagus found decreased at 16th month postoperatively. The long-term results of Case 2 were fairly well.

A nine-month old, orange tabby, intact male cat was brought to our clinic with the complaint of swelling in the mammary glands. In anamnesis; long acting progesterone was administered to the cat in a private clinic for suppression of oestrus one week ago. As a result of clinical examination, fibroepithelial hyperplasia was detected in all mammary glands. For the purpose of treatment, aglepristone started to be used for sequential five days. Because ulceration and necrosis occurred in the mammary glands at the end of the first week, the treatment was completed with total mastectomy section. In this article, a case of fibroepithelial mammary hyperplasia which was formed as a result of progesterone administration to suppress the oestrus in a male cat is described.
