Cancer Risk From Pediatric Diagnostic Radiology; Should We Be Concerned ?, P Trinavarat, S Manaphol, N Yimpraphan, S. Assawakulkamnurd

Chulalongkorn Medical Journal

Diagnostic radiology has an important role in pediatrics. Some imaging modalities give high radiation doses and there is a rising concern on the safety of radiation. This article aims to provide information on the increased risk of cancer from radiation used in diagnostic radiology. The information may help in the process of decision making in referring pediatric patients to CT and in communicating with their parents. Radiation doses in diagnostic radiology in pediatrics are mostly low, but some may reach the moderate level. From the recent knowledge, many believe that even a low-dose radiation has a certain risk of cancer …

Influenza A Virus Receptor Identification In The Respiratory Tract Of Quail, Pig, Cow And Swamp Buffalo, Aunyarattana Thontiravong, Tilladit Rung-Ruangkijkrai, Pravina Kitikoon, Kanisak Oraveerakul, Yong Poovorawan

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Virus infection requires the interaction of a virus protein with the host-cell receptor. The Influenza A virusreceptor consists of sialic acid linked to the galactose unit in a α 2,3 or α 2,6 conformation. Various types of thesereceptors are expressed differently on the epithelial lining of various animal species. Here we characterized the typesof receptors that are expressed in the upper and lower respiratory tracts of cow, buffalo, pig and quail. Our findingsdemonstrate that SA α 2,6-gal linked receptors for human influenza viruses are present in the lower respiratory tractof cow and buffalo, while the SA α 2,3-gal linked receptors …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

We studied the prevalence of swine salmonellosis and PFGE genotype of isolates in Gunma Prefecture,Japan. Between 2005 and 2008, swine salmonellosis was confirmed in 430 of 2,707,402 (0.02%) swine atslaughterhouses. All isolates were identified as deriving from Salmonella Choleraesuis, biotype Choleraesuis (negativefor H2S production). We used 30 bacterial strains from 15 farms that had experienced outbreaks in 2006 and 2007. Allstrains were susceptible to various antibiotics such as cephems (cefotaxime), fluoroquinolones (norfloxacin andciprofloxacin), and fosfomycin. On the other hand, all strains were resistant to tetracycline (TC), and 29 of 30 (97%)strains were resistant to streptomycin (SM). The most predominant profiles …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Asian elephant is indigenous to many countries including Thailand, but fermenter microorganisms ingastrointestinal tract of the elephant have not fully been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to observe thecellulolytic bacteria in Genus Ruminococcus in large intestines of captive Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). Fecalsamples were collected from male and female sucklings, young and adult captive Asian elephants. Forty-fourelephants were divided into 3 groups as followed: A) > 18 years old (n=24); B) 2-18 years old (n=17) and C) < 2 yearsold (n=3). The results revealed that there were 214 (42.8%) isolates of R. flavefaciens, 105 (21.0%) isolates of R. bromii, 90(18.0%) isolates of R. obeum, 54 (10.8%) isolates of R. callidus and 37 (7.4%) isolates of R. albus from all fecal samplesexamined. Interestingly, Ruminococcus strains could be isolated from the weaned elephants, but were not found in thesucklings (p<0.05). In conclusion, cellulolytic bacteria in Genus Ruminococcus were isolated from the large intestines ofcaptive Asian elephants. Moreover, the highest prevalence of the bacteria was found in the elephants aged more than18 years old.

Investigation Of The Relationship Between Endometrial Mmp Activities And Sex Hormones In Mature Bitches, Wei-Yau Shia, Po-Chen Chu, Chih-Chung Chou, Wei-Ming Lee

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Endometrial matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extensively studied in humans. However, owing to thedistinct differences of the estrous cycle of bitches, the expression and activities of endometrial MMPs regulated by sexhormones should be significantly different. To understand the effect of sex hormones on the activity of MMPs, thisstudy investigates the activities of endometrial MMP-2 and MMP-9 during different phases of the estrous cycle inbitches through the use of gelatine zymography. Estradiol and progesterone concentrations were also determinedusing enzyme-linked fluorescent assay. The activities of the latent forms of both MMP-2 and -9 were significantlyhigher in metestrus (MP) and late diestrus phases (L-DP) …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The origin of dogs came from the limited number of founders leading to inbreeding or genetic diseasewithin or among breeds. Thai Ridgeback (TR) and Bangkaew (BK) dogs were the only native dog breeds that webelieved to originate in Thailand. The study of genetic variability in Thai dogs (39 Thai Ridgeback dogs, 82 Bangkaewdogs) was defined by using 12 microsatellite markers. These DNA markers were highly informative and distributedthrough the canine genome. The result from these markers revealed the higher number of alleles, observedheterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He) and polymorphic information content (PIC) in TR and BK dogs.The average Ho, He …
