In the context of a single health framework, one of the primary objectives of this literature review is to examine the major factors and challenges that maintain the endemic status of dog-mediated human rabies in Pakistan. Rabies-endemic countries have an imperative need to work on preventive strategies to lessen the burden of this terrible disease as per guidelines of World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) and WHO. Lack of public awareness, free-roaming dogs, and cold chain mismanagement of vaccinations are the 3 most significant factors contributing to the increasing number of dog bite injuries and suspected rabies cases in animals and humans. To control dog-mediated rabies, Pakistan must initiate and strongly support a national One Health project, a subsidized supply of human and animal rabies vaccine in public hospitals, and designated rabies prevention centers at an affordable cost. People should be educated regarding responsible pet ownership and follow-up of basic preventive measures. Empowerment of labs equipped with surveillance systems are also additionally required to strengthen rabies control and prevention activities at least in regional levels. This article gives valuable information for scholars and policymakers who wish to comprehend why this disease remains endemic due to multiplex interplay of zoonotic, medical, and anthropological risk factors and transmission chains in animal and human sectors through viral reservoirs.

The exposure to AFB1 is evidenced to implicate multi-organ toxicity in humans and animals, particularly hepatotoxicity. Genkwanin (GNK) is a bioactive non-glycosylated flavonoid with potential pharmacological properties. Therefore, the current study aimed to determine the dose-dependent role of GNK against AFB1-instigated hepatotoxicity. The investigation was carried out on 96 adult male albino rats, which were equally distributed into eight groups. The effect of 3 different doses of GNK (5, 10 and 20 mgkg-1) was evaluated against the toxicity elicited by 50 ugkg-1 of AFB1. After the administration of AFB1 and GNK by the oral gavage for 56 days, the biochemical and hepatic serum markers were determined in addition to histopathological observation. AFB1 exposure disrupted the biochemical profile by declining the activities of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glutathione content), while elevating the concentration of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde level. Furthermore, AFB1 exposure notably elevated the levels of hepatic serum enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase) along with the levels of inflammatory markers, nuclear factor kappa-B, tumor necrosis factor-α, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-1β and activity of cyclooxygenase-2. Besides, AFB1 induction caused histopathological impairments in hepatic tissues. Nonetheless, GNK co-administration remarkably ameliorated all the damages of the hepatic system induced by AFB1 administration to the rats. Therefore, it was demonstrated that the GNK could potentially cure AFB1-instigated hepatotoxicity attributing to its antioxidative and ant-inflammatory potential","PeriodicalId":22797,"journal":{"name":"The Pakistan Veterinary Journal","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90673044","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}

Herein, we investigated the gastroprotective effect of aqueous Achatina achatina L. (snail) slime extract (ASSE) on indomethacin- and ethanol-induced ulceration in Wistar albino rat models. Biochemical analysis of ASSE showed appreciable levels of manganese, iron, zinc, copper, molybdenum, selenium, Vitamin C, B1, B2, and B3 and a basic pH. The experimental design consists of two Phases (five groups of five rats each). In both Phases, group I (positive control) received 3ml of distilled water, while groups II-V received 20 mg/kg body weight omeprazole (standard drug), 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg bw ASSE, respectively, via oral intubation. The various treatments lasted for 21-days. Following 24-hours fasting with access to only water (which spanned between the 22nd -23rd day), ulceration was induced separately on the experimental animals in Phase I with a single oral dose of indomethacin (30 mg/kg bw) and in Phase II with a single oral dose of acidified ethanol (1.5 ml/ kg bw), via the gastric gavage. The LD50 study showed safety up to 5000 mg/kg bw ASSE. After induction, a significant (P<0.05) increase in the number of ulcers and mean ulcer index were recorded in group 1 of both Phases; however, rats administered various concentrations of ASSE showed significant (P<0.05) amelioration of the ulceration in both Phases, and these were on par with the standard control.

Common periodontal treatments include medication and mechanical therapy. Regarding the use of natural medicines to treat periodontitis, there has been much advancement. Cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and homeostasis are modulated by tight junction (TJs). The present study reports the effectiveness of egg yolk oil (EYO) as a treatment for ligature-induced periodontitis by analyzing its microstructure and its effect on claudin-1. Eighteen mature male and female rats were used in the investigation, and they were categorized: Group 1 (Control Negative, n=9), which received no treatment; Group 2 (Control Positive, n=9), which received a silk ligature to cause periodontitis. The EYO treatment+ periodontitis for rats in Group 3 (EYO, n=9) was applied by ligature for 30 days. The incisor teeth with periodontal tissues were collected on days 7, 14, and 30 of the experiment and sections were prepared for both H&E staining and IHC for claudin-1 gene utilization. There was a significant improvement in alveolar bone loss, reduction in the inflammatory reaction, regeneration of PDL thickness, reduction of osteoclast numbers, and activation of claudin-1 tight junction expression compared to the control group in the entire experiment period. Our research concluded that EYO may have a critical role in alveolar bone formation with the regeneration of periodontal tissue damage that is associated with ligature-induced periodontitis via up-regulation of the expression of claudin-1 tight junction proteins that provide regeneration and repair processes, hence reducing pathological damages","PeriodicalId":22797,"journal":{"name":"The Pakistan Veterinary Journal","volume":"68 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83391697","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}

Pups grouped as newborns (GD21/PND0) exposed in utero and infants exposed through breast milk (PND21) were compared with body weight measurements.
