This study was conducted in Al-Najaf slaughterhouse, during the period from January to March 2019 to investigate and classify the microscopic changes of pulmonary lesions and comparison between the percentage of different lesions in lung of slaughtered young and adult cattle. Two hundred and twenty cattle were postmortem examined, The specimens from their lung were collected and preserved in buffered formalin 10% and routine staining with H&E stain and special staining with Masson's Trichrome stain were achieved.The results of the microscopic study showed that there were variable pulmonary affections in slaughtered cattle. The microscopic investigation of the lung specimens stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain showed variation in the occurrence of different microscopic lung lesions, arranged from high percentages such as pleural changes (94.5%), bronchopneumonia (68.5%), pneumonia (57%), emphysema (44%), atelectasis (42%), fibrosis (37%), angiogenesis (35%), congestion (32.5%), consolidation (19.5%), haemorrhage (16.5%), hemosiderin deposition (15.5%), hyperplasia (15%) and desquamation (10%) to moderate to low percentages such as tuberculosis (5.5%), hydropic degeneration (4.5%), oedema (4.5%), hydatid cysts (4%), sclerosis (1.5%), abscesses (1%), metaplasia (0.5%) and thrombosis (0.5%). The main conclusions of our study revealed that there were different pulmonary lesions could be diagnosed as well as there was significant differences between the prevalence of lung microscopic lesions between young and adult cattle

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic zoonotic disease which is highly endemic in Iraq and has an extensive effect on livestock productivity and human health. The current study focused on slaughtered sheep and cattle in Al-Najaf city abattoir, which infected with hydatid cysts from the period between January 2016 till December 2018. The total sheep examined were 244806, in which 3339 were found to be positive for hydatidosis, while in cattle, the total examined number was 59001, in which 887 were found to be positive for hydatidosis. In current study, the prevalence rate was estimated to be 1.49 % for hydatidosis in sheep, whereas in cattle it was 1.60 %. There were no differences between sheep and cattle rate infections. The highest rate of infection in sheep and cattle was observed in April 2.03% and July 1.89 respectively, while the lowest rate was observed in September 1.27% and November 1.04, respectively. Seasonally, the highest infection rate of hydatid cysts was 1.60 % in spring for sheep and 1.77 % in summer for cattle. The findings of this study demonstrated that the prevalence of hydatid cysts infections is generally lower than those reported from other regions of Iraq, and at the same time, it clearly remains prevalent. Hydatid cysts are common and widely distributed in sheep and cattle and they might play an important role in the life cycle and transmission of this zoonosis in Al-Najaf province.

Background:Because of the fact that the mechanism of anticonvulsant action of Gabapentin is not yet clear, so the aim of our present study was to determine whether the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSC) may be correlate with its mechanism. To achieve this goal, Cypermethrin was chosen as a (convulsion inducer) resulting from its prolongs the opening of (VGSC) in order to interfere with Gabapentin . Method:The experiment animals were divided into four groups. The first group was treated with a single dose of Cypermethrin (1000 mg / kg, orally), while the second and third group were treated with a single dose of Gabapentin (100 mg / kg, orally)15 or 30 minutes before the Cypermethrin treatment respectively. The fourth group was treated with Gabapentin alone in a dose of (100 mg / kg, orally) .After the end of treatment of the chicks were transferred to the cages to be monitored individually and recorded percentages of appearance of nervous signs and the percentage of each mortality and protection against mortality. Results: Chicks treated with Cypermethrin alone (1000 mg / kg, orally)showed nervous signs which included the jerking movements of the leg and wings (clonic convulsion) and whole body tremors accompanied with opisthotonos at percentages (80%, 100%,60%) respectively that end with death at (100%) , but the pretreatment of chicks with Gabapentin (100 mg / kg, orally) resulted in time-dependent protection against Cypermethrin-induced nervous signs and mortality,which representing by significantly decrease in the percentage of each clonic convulsion,whole body tremors and mortality to (0%, 20% and 20%) respectively and accompanied by significant increase the percentage of protection of chicks against mortality to (80%) in the group that pretreatment with Gabapentin 30 minute before administration of Cypermethrin compared with control group (Cypermethrin alone). We conclude from our results that recorded for the first time the Gabapentin provided protection to chicks against Cypermethrin-induced nervous signs and mortality , this result may be related to effect of Gabapentin on (VGSC). Thus, the currently study will open the way to use Cypermethrin as a model in scientific research that detect the mechanisms of action of anticonvulsant drugs .

Background and aims: This experiment was conducted in order to compare the effect of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and low-level laser (LLL) therapy on healing of second-degree burn wound in sheep. Materials and Methods: Fourteen adult rams were divided into four groups of equal numbers. A second-degree burn was generated on the back of all animals. The burned area in the first and second group was exposed and autologous PRP and LLL (6 J/cm2), respectively were applied on burned area continuously for five days. Fourteen days later, samples were collected from all animals for histopathological examinations. Results: Histopathological evaluations on the second week showed the burn healing to be better in the PRP than LLL and both of them were better with respect to the control group. Conclusion: The application of PRP for five days is effective than LLL application in healing burn-related skin wounds in sheep model.

This study has been designed to analyse the secreted and soluble proteins in bovine seminal plasma by mass spectrometry. The majority of these proteins are produced by accessory glands, and partially by testis, epididymis, ductus deferens and vas deferens of male reproductive tract. Seminal plasma of bovine was collected freshly and isolated after centrifuged and removed the sperm. Non boiled and boiled seminal plasma lysate were run to identify and detect the total proteins, as well as the individual single member of ADAMs protein is determined. The non-boiled lysate of seminal plasma was displayed diversity of proteins more than boiled sample lysate of seminal plasma. However, boiled and non-boiled seminal plasma have distinguished several types of ADAMs protein which are included: ADAM10, ADAM9, ADAM7, ADAM15 in non-boiled samples, while boiled lysate of bovine seminal plasma was displayed ADAM10, ADAM9, ADAM28, and ADAM22. Our finding concluded that bovine seminal plasma is very rich in different types of soluble, cleaved and shed proteins such ADAMs protein which could potentially have a biological and physiological role in protection and interactions of sperm during motility inside female reproductive tract, as it might support it to fertilise the ovum. This protection might be via immunosuppression behaviour or by block specific receptors in female reproductive tract for enhancing sperm motility, and avoid sperm the singling response of immunity.

This protection might be via immunosuppression behaviour or by block specific receptors in female reproductive tract for enhancing sperm motility, and avoid sperm the singling response of immunity.","PeriodicalId":17869,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal For Veterinary Medical Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75813926","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 current study includes eye balls of Iraqi geese (anser anser). The anatomical characteristics and histological eye structure. The eye ball shape was nearly spherical. The general mean size of the geese's right and left eye was 2.3 ± 0.07 ml. The ciliary body was the anterior part of the choroid and it joined anteriorly with the iris. The retina was the deepest layer of the eyeball jacket. The retina had two parts, one sensory and the other meaningless. The sensory part of the retina of the ciliary body began to cover the ciliary body and the iris. The sensory part of the retina consists of ten layers: (1) the pigmented epithelium of the retina (2) of the rods and cones (3) the outer specific membrane (4) the outer nuclear layer (5) the outer layer (6) Internal plexus (8) Layer node cell (9) Fiber optic layer (10) Internal boundary membrane. . The total values of retinal thickness is 304.68±0.95 μm.
