Histological Characteristics Of Auditory Tube Diverticulum Of Domestic Donkey (Equus Asinus), Seyed Morteza Ghazi, Behzad Mobini Jun 2013

Histological Characteristics Of Auditory Tube Diverticulum Of Domestic Donkey (Equus Asinus), Seyed Morteza Ghazi, Behzad Mobini

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The purpose of this study was to investigate histological characteristics of auditory tube diverticulum in domestic donkeys (Equus asinus) using conventional histological and histochemical methods. Specimens were collected from twenty regions (five different locations of each compartment of auditory diverticulum). The mucosa consisted of pseudostratified columnar epithelium with brush-like cilia and forms of some non-isometric folds. The few goblet cells, which were irregularly distributed over the whole luminal surface, reacted strongly with Alcian blue pH 2.5, whereas neutral mucosubstances were not observed. The lamina muscularis mucosa was absent. The lamina propria-submucosa contained all connective tissue fibers, tubulo-acinar glands, parasympathetic ganglia, …


The Acute Effects Of Gentamycin Ototoxicity On Bobwhite Quail Basilar Papilla And Auditory Brainstem Responses, Kristie Wilson May 2013

The Acute Effects Of Gentamycin Ototoxicity On Bobwhite Quail Basilar Papilla And Auditory Brainstem Responses, Kristie Wilson

Dissertations, 2014-2019

The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a single dose of gentamycin in elevating Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) thresholds and causing inner ear hair cell loss or damage. A total of twenty-two Bobwhite quail were used (n=7 control, n=15 experimental); experimental group quail were injected with a 200 mg/kg dose of gentamycin within 24 hours of hatch (P0). Three to four days post-hatch or injection the quail underwent ABR testing. Thresholds were measured using a 1,000 Hz, 2,000 Hz, and 4,000 Hz tone pip and a click beginning at 90 dB nominalSPL. Resulting waveforms were analyzed using MATLAB …


Histology And Ultrastructure Of Transitional Changes In Skin Morphology In The Juvenile And Adult Four-Striped Mouse (Rhabdomys Pumilio), Eranée Stewart, Moyosore Salihu Ajao, Amadi O. Ihunwo Jan 2013

Histology And Ultrastructure Of Transitional Changes In Skin Morphology In The Juvenile And Adult Four-Striped Mouse (Rhabdomys Pumilio), Eranée Stewart, Moyosore Salihu Ajao, Amadi O. Ihunwo

Brain and Mind Institute

The four-striped mouse has a grey to brown coloured coat with four characteristic dark stripes interspersed with three lighter stripes running along its back. The histological differences in the skin of the juvenile and adult mouse were investigated by Haematoxylin and Eosin and Masson Trichrome staining, while melanocytes in the skin were studied through melanin-specific Ferro-ferricyanide staining. The ultrastructure of the juvenile skin, hair follicles, and melanocytes was also explored. In both the juvenile and adult four-striped mouse, pigment-containing cells were observed in the dermis and were homogeneously dispersed throughout this layer. Apart from these cells, the histology of the …

To investigate changes in tumor sizes and pathological tumor stages in patients undergoing surgery for renal mass between 2000 and 2011. Materials and methods: The data of 157 patients who underwent surgery for renal mass, including TNM stage, size, and Fuhrman grade at final pathology, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: The mean pathological size of the tumor in the whole population of the study was 6.97 cm. The mean size of the renal mass was 7.22 cm, 7.05 cm, and 6.91 cm in group 1, group 2, and group 3, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant. Of the renal …


Histological Changes In The Bone Structure Induced At 12 Weeks By Experimental Administration Of Bisphosphonates, Horea Artimoniu Almaşan, Mihaela Baciut, Oana Cristina Almaşan, Simion Bran, Grigore Baciut Jan 2013

Histological Changes In The Bone Structure Induced At 12 Weeks By Experimental Administration Of Bisphosphonates, Horea Artimoniu Almaşan, Mihaela Baciut, Oana Cristina Almaşan, Simion Bran, Grigore Baciut

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Histological changes in bone structure were induced at 12 weeks by experimental administration of bisphosphonates, which have been associated with osteonecrosis of the jaws. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of local administration of bisphosphonate on bone formation in rats. Surgically created bone defects were evaluated at 12 weeks by histological examination after bisphosphonate administration. Fifteen Wistar rats that underwent surgery to create a bone defect at the right femur were divided in 3 groups: 2 experimental groups and a control group. The 1st experimental group received bisphosphonate as a single 1-mL dose into the bone …
