Methods: The wounds were assigned into two therapeutic regimens, application of nano-based healing agent and mupirocin to the test and control group respectively as topical therapy along with parenteral antibiotics as per standard operative procedure (SOP). Results were statistically analyzed, using analysis of variance (ANOVA), paired t-test (parametric) and kruskal-wallis one way ANOVA test (non parametric). Result: Chitosan-curcumin-aloevera based healing agent resulted in early reduction of wound exudates and cast formation than control group. Time of appearance and filling of wound bed by granulation tissue was significantly better in test group than control group. Early appearance of epithelium and the percentage of wounds with epithelium were also higher in test group than control group. Histological and histo-chemical findings on day 14 after surgery suggested less inflammatory reaction, more fibroblasts and neo-vascularisation, wider and compact granulation tissue in test group than control group. The values of clinical, haematological and biochemical parameters remained within the normal physiological limits without any significant difference. The average duration taken for complete healing in test and control groups was 9 and 14 days respectively without any sign of infection during the treatment period.\u0000","PeriodicalId":13410,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48358301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aims to determine the succession of ant species on rabbit carcass buried in an outdoor habitat of the King Saud University, Western Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: In the present study, twelve rabbits were buried at 20 cm and twelve at 40 cm in two different periods. After 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120 days, one cadaver from each depth was unearthed. Results: We have found 8 species of Formicidae, 4 types at a depth of 20 cm and two types only at a depth of 40 cm in the first period, while two types were found at a depth of 20 cm and one type only at 40 cm in the second period of the experiment. In the first period of the experiment, Cataglyphis holgerseni (Formicinae) and Cardiocondyla sp. (Myrmicinae) were the most prevalent species at depths of 20 cm and 40 cm, respectively; however, in the exposed carcasses, Messor ebeninus (Myrmicinae) predominated in both study periods. While no specie dominated the buried bodies in the second phase, as the numbers were very few in the second period on buried carcasses. In this study, many Formicidae species that correlate to different stages of corpse decomposition that were previously unknown from buried bodies in Saudi Arabia were recorded. Therefore, it is important and may have consequences in medicolegal issues.\u0000","PeriodicalId":13410,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46470921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Animal sacrifice was performed 30 minutes prior to injection of hydroethidine into the abdominal cavity to investigate the presence of oxidative stress in the brain tissue and the characteristics of cells that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Result: Using OX42 and OX6 antibodies, excessive activation of microglia occurred in the surgical site of the substantia nigra on 7 days after the procedure. Activated microglia were still present and clustered even in the 14-day and 28-day groups, although their reactivity had slightly decreased compared to the 7-day group. These cells showed strong immunopositive reactions to ED1, indicating that they were actively engaged in phagocytic activity. Many activated microglia showing positive immunofluorescence staining for OX6 also expressed ethidium fluorescence, indicating that these cells were actively generating and secreting ROS.","PeriodicalId":13410,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46028322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, the feed additive potential of aromatic plants has been frequently investigated. β-glucosidases are used as feed additive enzymes to increase nutritional value. This study was carried out to determine the biochemical properties of Oregano onites L. β-glucosidase in terms of expected biochemical properties from feed additive enzymes. Methods: Oregano β-glucosidase was purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The purified enzyme was checked the purity on SDS-PAGE. The biochemical properties (optimal pH and temperature, thermal stability, glucose and alcohol tolerance) of the purified enzyme were determined using para-Nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate. Results: Oregano β-glucosidase was purified 23.15-fold with a yield of 8.2%. The purified enzyme was visualised as a single band at 65.7 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The enzyme had maximum activity at pH 4.0 and 45 °C and retained over 50% activity at pH 4-7. The enzyme maintained up to 50% of its activity after 60 minutes of incubation at 400C, 500C, and 60°C. The effect of glucose on the purified enzyme was determined by finding the relative activity at different glucose concentrations. When the glucose concentration in the reaction medium was 0.6 M, the relative activity was 52%, and the enzyme showed a high tolerance to glucose. The enzyme was also found to be tolerant to alcohol. The enzyme's high activity at acidic pH, its ability to maintain its activity for a long time, and its tolerance to glucose and alcohol make the enzyme valuable. β-glucosidase of Origanum onites L. used as a feed additive was purified for the first time and some biochemical properties were determined. It showed it’s biochemical properties similar to exogenous enzymes recommended as feed additives.
