Increased concern about antibiotic resistance justifies evaluation of alternative preventive approaches, such a Manuka honey which has displayed antimicrobial properties. Pectin-Honey Hydrogels (PHH), composed by Manuka honey and pectin provide a moist wound environment and microbial growth inhibition. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of PHHs in preventing SSI in horses subjected to emergency laparotomy. Horses undergoing laparotomy were evaluated. Horses were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 received PHH application onto the sutured linea alba before skin closure, while Group 2 received no treatment. Horses with postoperative antimicrobial administration or survival of less than 5 days were excluded. The incidence of SSIs was reported as percentages and compared between groups. Out of 44 horses enrolled in the study, only thirty-six were ultimately included. Exclusions occurred either due to death before 5 days postoperatively (2 horses) or the administration of postoperative antimicrobials (6 horses). The median length of hospitalization was 9 days (range 8–14 days). The overall occurrence of SSI was 19.4 %. One out of eighteen horses (5.5 %) in Group 1 and 6 out of 18 (33.3 %) horses in Group 2 developed SSI. Group 2 had an 8.5-fold increased risk of SSI (p = 0.035, OR = 8.5, 95 % CI. 0.9–80.07).

The presence of testicular tissue can be evaluated by analyzing hormones such as testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH). Here, we used hormonal analysis to investigate relationships between the likely presence of testicular tissue and stallion-like behavior in samples submitted from presumptive geldings (n = 1,202), retrospectively. Most geldings with stallion-like behaviors had serum concentrations of testosterone (851/1,056; 80.6 %) and AMH (682/877; 77.8 %) below the laboratory reference range for cryptorchids (< 60 pg/mL and ≤ 0.15 ng/mL for testosterone and AMH, respectively). A total of 13 samples (13/716; 1.8 %) showed AMH concentrations typical for geldings but testosterone above the cryptorchid range. Conversely, 31 samples (31/716; 4.3 %) had high AMH, suggesting cryptorchidism, but testosterone concentrations implied no testicular tissue. Among the cryptorchid stallions, the AMH and testosterone concentrations did not vary based on the season. However, age categories affected the concentration of both hormones among the presumptive true cryptorchid stallions. The results of this study demonstrate that undesirable behavior in geldings is rarely associated with the presence of testicular tissue, as assessed by these two hormonal biomarkers. This information highlights the complexity of behavior and demonstrates that persistent stallion-like behavior in geldings could be related to factors other than the presence of testicular tissue.</div>","PeriodicalId":15798,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Equine Veterinary Science","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 105104"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0737080624001102/pdfft?md5=566c2c442dd0a19a997fcd5d3434d831&pid=1-s2.0-S0737080624001102-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141296199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have hypothesized that destabilization of plasma and acrosomal membranes prior to injection would positively impact the developmental potential of equine zygotes generated by ICSI. This study evaluated effects of the sperm treatment with lysolecithin on plasma and acrosomal membranes and on oocyte activation ability, initially following heterologous ICSI on bovine oocytes and subsequently employing equine oocytes. The effects of the lysolecithin -treatment on the efficiency of conventional and piezo-assisted equine ICSI were evaluated. To do this, the equine sperm were treated with different concentrations of lysolecithin and the sperm plasma membrane, acrosome and DNA integrity were evaluated by flow cytometry. The results showed that a lysolecithin concentration of 0.08 % destabilized the membranes of all sperm and affected DNA integrity within the range described for the species (8–30 %). In addition, the heterologous ICSI assay showed that lysolecithin treatment was detrimental to the sperm's ability to activate the oocyte, therefore, chemical oocyte activation was used after equine ICSI after injection with lysolecithin -treated sperm. This group showed similar developmental rate to the control group with and without exogenous activation. In conclusion, lysolecithin pre-treatment is not necessary when using ICSI to produce equine embryos in vitro.
