White muscle disease (WMD) is a world-wide nutritional disease of all animal species characterised by degeneration of skeletal and cardiac muscles. In the present study we determined the cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in hearts of the lambs with WMD (n = 15). Eight clinically healthy lambs served as control. Creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities were analysed for both groups. cTnI levels were measured by a commercially available ELISA kit. Mean cTnI (10.49 ± 0.25 ng/ml), CK (261.16 ± 38.61 U/l), CK-MB (214.16 ± …
Immunohistochemical Studies On S100 Reactivity In Chicks Experimentally Infected With Eimeria Tenella I: The Localization Of S100 Protein And Its Subunits \Alpha And \Beta In Stages Of Eimeria Tenella, Lati̇fe Beyaz, Ayhan Atasever, Feyzullah Beyaz, Anil İça

The expression of the calcium-binding protein S100 and its subunits \alpha and \beta in the intracellular protozoon Eimeria tenella was investigated. For this purpose, anti-S100 whole molecule polyclonal antibody and anti-S100 \alpha and anti-S100 \beta monoclonal antibodies were used on paraffin sections collected from the cecum, ileum, colon, rectum, and bursa of Fabricius of chicks experimentally infected with E. tenella. One hundred seventy-five 2- to 3-day-old specific pathogen-free chicks were used. The chicks were divided into experiment and control groups, to include 94 and 81 chicks, respectively. All the chicks in the experimental group received 10,000 spored oocytes in 0.5 …
Pathological, Immunohistochemical, And Bacteriological Findings In The Mammary Glands And Supramammary Lymph Nodes Of Cows With A History Of Abortion Due To Brucella Abortus, Enver Beytut, Mi̇that Şahi̇n, Serpi̇l Ergi̇nsoy, Mahmut Sözmen

The present study examined the mammary glands and supramammary lymph nodes of cows with a history of abortion due to Brucella abortus, and presents the histopathological, immunohistochemical, and bacteriological results. The study included 11 Brucella-seropositive cows that aborted during their first gestation. Histopathologically, the mammary glands showed lymphoplasmacytic and histiocytic interstitial mastitis. The lymph nodes had lymphofollicular hyperplasia and medullary plasmacytosis. Immunohistochemistry results showed brucellar antigens, predominantly in the cytoplasm of macrophages, and neutrophils in the intralobular interstitium and periductal stroma in the udders of 3 cows. Desquamated alveolar epithelium also indicated intense immunopositivity. In the lymph nodes, macrophages containing …
Multicentric Intrahepatic Biliary Cystadenoma In A Dog, Ahmet Akkoç, İ. Taci̇ Cangül, M. Özgür Özyi̇ği̇t
Multicentric Intrahepatic Biliary Cystadenoma In A Dog, Ahmet Akkoç, İ. Taci̇ Cangül, M. Özgür Özyi̇ği̇t
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This report describes a case of multicentric intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma observed in a 13-year-old, male, Irish setter dog. The dog had a history of chronic inappetence, weight loss, intermittent icterus, and diarrhoea. In the ultrasonographic examination of the abdominal organs, 5 spherical masses were found in various liver lobes. The largest mass was 12 cm in diameter and was located on the quadrate lobe. It had spongy consistency and had several cystic structures, 3 mm-2.5 cm in diameter, on the cut surface. While this mass bulged through the normal outline of the liver, smaller masses were engraved within the liver …

Ileal Leiomyoma In A Captive Zebra (Equus Burchelli), Rahşan Yilmaz, Ahmet Akkoç, M. Özgür Özyi̇ği̇t
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In the present study, an ileal leiomyoma encountered in a captive zebra (Equus burchelli) was reported. A 29-year-old, female zebra was found dead in the Bursa zoo. According to the referring veterinarian the most prominent clinical signs were intermittent colic (responsive to analgesics) and constipation. At post mortem examination, abdomen was severely distended. A firm, multilobular, well vascularized and encapsulated tumoural mass, 12 cm in diameter, embedded into the proximal part of the ileum wall, and protruded from the serosal surface was found. The cut section of the mass had whorled appearance, pale yellow to white in colour, and had …
