Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Multicentric lymphoma is the most common hematopoietic tumors in dogs. Both B- or T-lymphocyte clones can originate to lymphoma. A gold standard method to differentiate each lymphocyte lineage is immunohistochemistry (IHC) by detecting specific proteins of B and T cell. A protein marker for T and B cells is CD3 and CD79a, respectively. However, another pan pre B-cell marker is Pax5 or B-cell specific activator protein. It is more specific and sensitive than CD79a because it expresses only in B-cell lymphoma cases. The first purpose of this research was to 1) determine Pax5 expression in canine lymphomas by IHC and …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
Globally, vertebral fracture and luxation (VFL) are one of the most common neurological injuries in dogs and cats. The standard care for vertebral body stabilisation of canine VFL are screws with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and the string of pearls (SOP) plate system fixation. The VFL with implants are usually exposed to force in a repetitive or cyclic loading fashion. Indeed, stress on the implant cyclically at a load significantly less than its ultimate tensile strength can cause fatigue failure, one of the major causes of implant breakage. This study aims to compare the failure mode of four different implants using a …

Canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC) viruses have been detected in dogs with respiratory illness. The CIRDC is associated with multiple factors depending on host susceptibility, environment and pathogens. Canine influenza virus (CIV), canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV), canine distemper virus (CDV), canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV), canine adenovirus type 2 (CAdV-2) and canine herpesvirus 1 (CaHV-1), are all associated with the CIRDC. Environmental factors serve as the one key point for infection. The transmission route can be via community-acquired infection (CAI) or hospital-associated infection (HAI), but the variable factors within these two routes are not well described.
