To this end, histological preparations from 60 clinically healthy birds (30 males and 30 females) were examined by light microscopy. The turkeys were divided into ten age groups – at 1, 7, 14, 28, 35, 49, 56, 90, 120 and 240 days of age. Specimens were processed by routine histological techniques. At one day of age, the wall of the bursa of Fab-ricius comprised 4 tissue layers: tunica mucosa, tela submucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica serosa, and the mucosa formed high fold directed to the lumen. These folds were filled with lym-phoid follicles, whose cortex and medulla were indistinguishable. From the 7th to the 120th days if age, the size of follicles increased and the peripherally located dark-staining cortex was clearly distinct from the centrally located lighter staining medulla. On the 240th day, signs of bursa of Fabricius’ involution were visible – destruction of follicles, cystic formations, thickening of inter-follicular connective tissue septa and fat accumulation within the wall. The obtained results al-lowed concluding that the physiological involution of the bursa of Fabricius started at the onset of sexual maturity.","PeriodicalId":9279,"journal":{"name":"BULGARIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE","volume":"126 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79182201","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 AMHA1 strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an RNA virus with natural oncotropism. NDV induces direct tumour cytolysis, apoptosis, and immune stimulation. This work aimed to test NDV anti-angiogenic activity in a breast cancer model. To evaluate NDV’s antitumour effect in vivo, NDV was tested against mammary adenocarcinoma AN3 transplanted in syngeneic immunocompetent mice. In vivo antiangiogenic activity was evaluated by quantifying the blood vessels in treated and control tumour sections. In vitro experiments that exposed AMN3 mammary adenocarcinoma cells and Hep-2 laryngeal carcinoma cells to NDV at different time intervals were performed to identify the exact mechanism of anti-angiogenesis by using angiogenesis microarray slides. In vivo results showed significant tumour regression and significant decrease in blood vessel formation in treated tumour sections. The in vitro microarray analysis of 14 different angiogenesis factors revealed that NDV downregulated angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, and epidermal growth factor in mammary adenocarcinoma cells. However, NDV elicited a different effect on Hep-2 as represented by the downregulation of inducible protein 10, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, and basic fibroblast growth factor beta in NDV-infected tumour cells. It was found out that microarray analysis results helped interpret the in vivo data. The results suggested that the NDV oncolytic strain reduced angiogenesis by interfering with angiogenesis factors that might reduce tumour cell proliferation, infiltration, and invasion.","PeriodicalId":9279,"journal":{"name":"BULGARIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75657618","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}

Cows were blocked either to short DP (SDP; 30±2 days; n=72) or conventional DP (CDP; 60±2 days; n=76). Milk FPR was calculated at 30 and 60 days in milk (DIM). Body condition score (BCS) was recorded at –60, –30, calving, and 60 DIM. Blood samples were obtained at –60, –30, –7, calving, +7, +30, and +60 DIM for serum metabolites measurement. TAI was implemented between 65–75 DIM for all cows. Milk FPR and its changes were statistically analysed using an independent sample t test. To assess the impact of time, the pattern of BCS, and serum metabolites on the result of the first AI, repeated measure ANOVA was used. Only FPR-30 DIM revealed significant difference between pregnant and non-pregnant cows in SDP group (P<0.01). Reduced BCS loss was observed in the SDP group and followed by slightly higher probability of pregnancy at first AI (P=0.19). Leptin was not altered by shortening the DP (P≥0.1). Significant differences were observed in blood adiponectin prepartum (P<0.001) and at +7 DIM (P<0.01), as well as in NEFA at +7 and +30 DIM between the two groups (P<0.05). Pregnant cows following the first AI had significantly high postpartum leptin concentrations (P<0.05), high prepartum adiponectin (P≤0.001), and lower NEFA at +7 DIM (P<0.01) in the SDP group.

All isolates were screened for 6 virulence genes: cadF, ciaB, cj1349, Mvin, pldA and tlyA by PCR assays. The results showed that the prevalence of Arcobacter species had no significant difference among provinces and animals (P>0.05), so that positive samples were 1.25%, 1.25%, and 0.9% in Isfafhan, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, and Gilan, respectively. Virulence genes were observed for A. butzleri species (n=3, 100%). The results showed that Arcobacter spp. were resistant to streptomycin (100%), tetracycline (100%) and vancomycin (100%), but were susceptible to azithromycin (33.33%). In sum, the different regions of the Iran had a relative incidence of 1% for Arcobacter spp. The species showed a resistance of 100% for streptomycin, tetracycline and vancomycin.

The animals were separated in two groups: group I (young rams, aged 5-8 months; n=6) and group II (sexually mature rams, aged 14-18 months; n=6). Biometric parameters as age, body weight and scrotal circumference were determined by routine methods. A trans-scrotal ultrasonography of both testes was performed with 7 MHz linear transrectal probe by the same operator with focus, gain and brightness values kept constant during the study. The ultrasound images were obtained in a longitudinal view plane and frozen when visualisation of the testicular mediastinum was clear and apparent. All images were transferred to a computer, converted to gray-scale (0-255 pixels) and submitted to pixel distribution analysis using Image ProPlus 7.0 analytical software and option range statistics. The pixel distribution analysis in the same region for left and right testes was based on the pixel ranges classification for different biological tissues (blood, lipids, muscle, fibrous and calcium) and expressed as colour area in percentages. The arithmetic mean of values for the left and right testis was accepted as a final value for each ram. The data for both groups were statistically processed, compared and the relationships between the biometric parameters and different pixel ranges were determined. Significant differences (P<0.05) among the groups were recorded for all biometric parameters and the lipid area only. The biometric parameters correlated positively (R≥0.92; P<0.05) each with the other, while their relationship (R≤ -0.94; P<0.05) with the lipid area and the correlation between muscle and fibrous area were negative (R= -0.92; P<0.05). In conclusion, the pixel distribution analysis of a predetermined region of B-mode testicular ultrasonogram based on pixel ranges classification for different biological tissues can be used for detection of testicular parenchyma changes in rams. Future comparative histologic and ultrasound investigations are needed to determine correct pixel values for different biological tissues in the testes of young and sexually mature rams.","PeriodicalId":9279,"journal":{"name":"BULGARIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79392366","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}
