The Characterization Of The 18s Rrna Gene Using A Pcr-Rflp In Order To Develop A Differential Diagnostic Tool For Avian Eimeria Spp., Silamon Choosaksangthong, Woraporn Sukhumavas, Sudjit Chungpivat, Nareerat Viseshakul

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Avian coccidiosis is a protozoan disease which can be caused by at least 7 species of the genus Eimeria. Species of Eimeria in chicken are distinguished by their distinct morphology and where sites the parasotes are deposited in the small intestine of the infected birds. The criteria for Eimeria species differentiation when the disease occures is sometimes unreliable. Based on 422 base pairs derived from the 3 prime-region of the 18S rRNA gene, containing polymorphic DNA sequences of Eimeria, the technique of PCR-RFLP (Polymerase chain reaction and Restriction fragment length polymorphisms) has been developed to identify species-specific DNA profiles of …


Hyaluronan In The Sow’S Oviduct: Its Effect On Boar Sperm Morphology And Function, Paisan Tienthai Mar 2005

Hyaluronan In The Sow’S Oviduct: Its Effect On Boar Sperm Morphology And Function, Paisan Tienthai

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

During sperm transport in the female pig, a proportion of the spermatozoa is arrested at the uterotubal junction and the isthmus, where an oviductal sperm reservoir is built up. The sperm reservoir maintains sperm viability and controls the release of fertilizing spermatozoa so that only a small subpopulation reaches the site of fertilization, thus diminishing the risk of polyspermy. In vitro research has focused on sperm binding as the main mechanism of sperm storage, sperm release and modulation of capacitation, but little attention has been paid to the sperm reservoir fluid, its composition and the control of capacitation in vivo. …

The Characterization Of Clays And Cetylpyridiniumexchanged Clays For Their Ability To Adsorb Zearalenone, Komkrich Pimpukdee, Bundit Tengjaroenkul, Prapansak Chaveerach, Benjamas Mhosatanun

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The adsorption of zearalenone (ZEN) onto Ca-montmorillonite (STx-1), Na-montmorillonite (SWy-2), acid-activated montmorillonite (AAM), clinoptilolite and cetylpyridinium (CP) exchanged clays was studied. The results indicated that CP-exchanged clays were more effective than unmodified base clays in adsorbing ZEN, i. e. STx-1 (7.4±2.3 mg/g) < clinoptilolite (7.6±1.1 mg/g) < AAM (10.0±0.0 mg/g) < SWy-2 (11.9±0.4 mg/g), whereas the extent of ZEN adsorption into modified clay products did not follow the order seen in the based clays. The adsorption efficiency of CP-exchanged clays is in the order of CP*STx-1 (56.9±1.1 mg/g) = CP*AAM (56.9±1.8 mg/g) > CP*SWy-2 (47.9±2.6 mg/g) > CP*clinoptilolite (15.5±1.1 mg/g). Three CP-exchanged clays were further characterized by isotherm studies. The results indicated that the isotherm shapes of CP*exchanged clays exhibited a S-shape. The isotherm plot is concave up to the inflection point and then plateaus, which suggests multiple, specific binding sites and saturation at each site. It is important to rigorously test …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the relationship between histopathological appearance and clinical data, Argyrophilic Nucleolar Organizer Regions (AgNORs) and Proliferative Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) indices in canine oral melanoma. A retrospective study was performed on biopsy specimens from 67 dogs submitted over the year 2000 to 2003 to the Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University. Our results showed that the average AgNORs index did not show any significant differences with histopathological characteristics and Masson-Fontana Silver (MFS) stain but the AgNORs index showed significant differences when compared with histological grading and tumor diameter size (p < 0.05). The average PCNA index did not show significant differences with histopathological characteristics, grading, and MFS stain but did not show significant differences with the sex of affected dogs and tumor diameter size (p < 0.05). AgNORs and PCNA indices might be useful as a prognostic factor for oral melanoma in dogs

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The study looked at the relationship between the expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein, histological types, PCNA and AgNORs indices, in feline mammary tumors. Sixty, surgically resected, mammary tumors from cats were collected and histological processed. The expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein was detected by immunohistochemistry and was seen in benign hyperplasia, adenosis and malignant groups. The c-erbB2 oncogene protein expression in malignant, feline mammary tumors was 41.67% (25/60) which could be divided into simple tubular ACC, 25% (6/24), simple papillary ACC, 78.6% (11/14), solid carcinoma, 26.7% (4/15) and cribiform carcinoma, 57.14% (4/7). There were statistically significantly differences (p<0.05) in the expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein between simple tubular ACC, compared with simple papillary ACC and solid carcinomas. The expression of c-erbB2 oncogene protein in specimens, classified by histological malignancy grades revealed, grade I, 42.11% and grade II, 41.46% but there was no statistically significant difference between them. An evaluation of a proliferative marker shown by a mean (±SD) of PCNA, was 34.63±23.87 and the mean (±SD) of AgNORs was 1.23±0.18. There was no significant difference between the PCNA and AgNORs index of both the histological types and the histological malignancy grades. However, a statistical difference of mean PCNA and AgNORs indices was noted in both c-erbB2 positive and c-erbB2 negative groups. The mean PCNA indices and AgNORs indices in c-erbB2 positive samples were 26.52±18.68 and 1.12±0.27 respectively, while the c-erbB2 negative ones were 39.43±26.24 and 1.28±0.19 respectively. In conclusion, c-erbB2 oncogene protein expression is considered to be an effective prognostic factor for adenocarcinoma subtypes of feline mammary tumors as it is in human and canine cases. However, integration of all the parameters (c-erbB2 oncogene protein, PCNA index, AgNORs index, histological types and clinical data) may achieve a more precise prognosis in feline, mammary tumor cases.

Multidrug Efflux Systems (Mes): A Mechanism Of Resistance To Multidrug In Bacteria, Rungtip Chuanchuen, Herbert P. Schweizer Dec 2004

Multidrug Efflux Systems (Mes): A Mechanism Of Resistance To Multidrug In Bacteria, Rungtip Chuanchuen, Herbert P. Schweizer

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a growing problem with a global dimension. While the mechanisms of resistance vary from agent to agent, most of them are agent specific, providing resistance to a single or a class of anitimicrobials. Multidrug efflux systems have currently emerged as a predominant cause of antimicrobial resistance across a broad spectrum of structurally - unrelated antimicrobials. Efflux-mediated resistance is promoted by the exclusion of agents from the systems, resulting in reduced intracellular concentration of drugs. MES occur in many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including medically important pathogens, therefore they are of significant concern. Expression of the systems …
