The Variations And Patterns Of Renal Arteries In Dogs, Kriengyot Sajjarengpong, Adisorn Adirektaworn

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

288 kidneys complete with renal arteries and abdominal aorta, were collected from 144 dogs (75 males and 69 females), dissected and studied according to the number, branch, length and position of the renal arteries bifurcation. The positions of the left and right renal arteries were also observed. Double renal arteries were noted in 14 of 144 dogs (9.72%) but only on the left side. Single renal arteries had one to six branches. Most kidneys had 2 (39.42%) or 3 (33.58%) branches. The bifurcation mostly occurred in the middle of the renal artery (60.61%). Only ten kidneys (3.65%) were supplied by …

Malignant Catarrhal Fever In Swamp Buffaloes (Bubalus Bubalis): A Retrospective Pathological Study Of Outbreaks In Thailand, Komkrich Teankam, Rachod Tantilertcharoen, Thanasak Boonserm, Siriwat Suadsong, Wijit Banlunara

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a highly fatal disease of ruminants which has not been extensively studied in Thailand. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical signs and pathological findings of MCFaffected buffaloes (n = 13), in the Nakhonpathom province of Thailand. All cases were collected between May 1996 and August 2000. Before the 1998 outbreak, four clinically normal sheep were moved into a pen adjacent to the buffaloes’ pens. The animals developed clinical signs of severe depression, anorexia, high fever, hypersalivation, and corneal opacity-associated excessive lacrimation. Necropsy revealed severe haemorrhages in various organs including the oropharynx, …

An Immunolohistochemical Study Of Anti-Apoptotic Bcl-2 In The Pig’S Oviduct During The Oestrous Cycle, Paisan Tienthai Dec 2005

An Immunolohistochemical Study Of Anti-Apoptotic Bcl-2 In The Pig’S Oviduct During The Oestrous Cycle, Paisan Tienthai

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The purpose of this study was to determine the localization of Bcl-2 protein in porcine oviducts. Anti-human Bcl-2 monoclonal antibody was used to localize Bcl-2 protein immunohistochemically in the uterotubal junction (UTJ), isthmus and ampulla of pre-ovulatory (n=10) and post-ovulatory (n=10) sows. The Bcl-2 protein was detected in quantity in the intracytoplasm of the epithelial cells, some types of leukocytes in the epithelial layer and in the subepithelial connective tissue, in fibroblasts, as well as smooth muscle cells of the UTJ, isthmus and ampulla in the pre-ovulatory period. In contrast, the expression of Bcl-2 was lower in the oviduct tissues …

A Macroscopic Study Of The Cranial Vena Cava In Lylei’S Flying Foxes, Pawana Uthaichotiwan, Sirinush Sricharoenvej

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

A macroscopic study revealed that a double cranial vena cava was present in fifteen, adult, Lylei’s flying foxes, of both sexes. It consisted of right and left branches, without forming a left brachiocephalic vein. However, both of them drained blood into the right atrium. The right cranial vena cava drained blood directly into the right atrium. The left cranial vena cava drained blood into the coronary sinus before returning blood into the right atrium. The right cranial vena cava was larger than the left one. The opening of the left cranial vena cava at the right atrium was lower than …

Pubic Symphysiodesis For The Optional Treatment Of Canine Hip Dysplasia, Kanyada Mangklapruk, Kumpanart Soontornvipart, Atichat Brahmasa

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Pubic symphysiodesis (PS) using a bone plate and screws was performed in 10 hip dysplastic dogs, diagnosed following clinical and radiographic evaluation. After resection of the cranial third of the pubic symphysis, the rest of the symphysis was fixed by a dynamic compression plate and screws. Animal gait, Norberg angle (NA), dorsal acetabular rim slope (DARS) and dorsal acetabular rim angle (DARA) were radiographically evaluated before, immedimtely after, and at 1 and 3 months after surgery. NA and DAR of all dogs were significantly (p<0.05) greater than the preoperative values, while DARS was less than the preoperative value. After surgery, 75% of the hip joints had no Ortolani signs, while all dogs regained normal gait within one week of the operation.

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study was performed to evaluate the use of preserved human amniotic membrane to repair corneal ulcers in 5 eyes of experimental dogs. A 0.45 centimetre, in diameter, trephine was used to create a corneal stroma wound which was later covered with human amniotic membrane and the third eyelid flap for 7 days. After one week, each dog had complete corneal epithelization. Corneal vascularization, photophobia and conjunctivitis and were observed in 1, 4 and 5 dogs, respectively. However, all dogs regained their normal vision.

Intrauterine Artificial Insemination In The Pig: The Techniques, The Applications And The Limitations, Tuempong Wongtawan, Peerapong Samransarp, Padet Tummaruk

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This review aims to update information on the success of intra-uterine and deep intra-uterine insemination in the pig. Three artificial insemination (AI) techniques in pigs included conventional AI (semen is deposited intra cervically), intra-uterine insemination (IUI) and deep intra-uterine insemination (DIUI). With conventional AI, it has been shown that more than 90% of spermatozoa are lose before reaching the oviducts. Therefore, new techniques for AI were developed in order to maximize the use of boar semen and to reduce semen backflow, which can reduce pregnancy rates. The advantages of intra-uterine and deep intra-uterine insemination include a reduction in the number …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

An autogenous ilial graft was experimentally used for grafting the mandibles of 6 mixed-breed dogs, aged 1 to 5 years. To prepare the recipient bed, the mandibular shaft, under the fourth premolar tooth, was cut 2 cm deep and removed with the tooth. An ilial graft, the same size as the excised mandibular shaft, was harvested from the dorsal iliac crest of the same dog. The graft was then seated in the recipient bed and fixed to the mandible by a plastic bone plate and screws. Bone union was evaluated radiographically and histologically. The grafted sites of all dogs were …

On day 4 of oestrus, ovarian and uterine appearance and diameters was determined, using ultrasonography. Hysterography was performed using an infusion of a contrast medium into the cranial vagina. The measurement of uterine diameter was done using the ultrasound and …


The Detection Of Pathogenic Leptospira Species Using A Polymerase Chain Reaction Test, Alongkorn Amonsin, Thanis Dumrongwatanapokin, Chailai Koowatananukul, Somathat Wongsawang Sep 2005

The Detection Of Pathogenic Leptospira Species Using A Polymerase Chain Reaction Test, Alongkorn Amonsin, Thanis Dumrongwatanapokin, Chailai Koowatananukul, Somathat Wongsawang

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Pathogenic Leptospira species cause leptospirosis in animals and humans. Bacterial culture and the serological identification of leptospires are constrined by being time consuming and labor intensive. Oligonucleotide primers complementary to the 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence of pathogenic leptospires were designed to amplify the 343 bp fragment. The primers were specific to pathogenic Leptospira species and did not amplify either non-pathogenic leptospires or common bacteria found in urine. This developed PCR assay allows the rapid identification of pathogenic leptospires from rodent urine, with high sensitivity and specificity.

The Cerebral Arterial Circle Of A Newborn Asian Elephant Brain (Elephas Maximus), Pawana Uthaichotiwan, Adisorn Adirekthaworn, Kriengyot Sajjarengpong

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

In this anatomical study, the majority of the brain of a newborn Asian elephant was supplied with blood by the cerebral arterial circle, which lies on the ventral surface of the brain and completely encircles the optic chiasma, the tuber cinereum and the interpeduncular fossa. It was formed by the left and right internal carotid arteries and the most rostral branches of the basilar artery. The internal carotid arteries were the incoming branches that go directly to the cerebral arterial circle, in front of the optic chiasma, and are divided into rostral cerebral arteries and caudal communicating arteries. In this …
