Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

In this study; inhibitory and bactericidal activities of cefoperazone + sulbactam against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were determined in two studies first in 1992 and second in 1994. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were determined by following the microdilution method recommended by NCCLS (Approved Standard M7-A2 1990) protocol. P.aeruginosa strains were isolated from different clinical materials. The results of the studies were then compared to point out if the difference between MIC and MBC values were significant and if there was resistance development following two years of use. In the first study in 1992: MIC90 and …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Biological damage mediated by reactive oxygen species has been increasingly recognized in aging phenomena in recent decades. The increase in catecholamine metabolism is yet another physiological change in aging, predisposing the organism to supranormal hydrogen peroxide produc-tion as a by-product. This study was undertaken to investigate the alterations in oxidant- antioxidant status in rat cardiac tissue during aging. The effects of acute administration of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors on this status were also investigated to find possible preventive strategies in conjugate aging. MAO activities, malondialdehyde MDA and diene conjugate levels as well as superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were determined …

Investigation Of Three Different Lactation Models In Milk Yields Of Holstein Cows, Mehmet Nurullah Orman, Okan Ertuğrul

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The purpose of this study was to determine the best lactation curve. Data were collected from the dairy cattle breeding unit at Ceylanpinar State Farm. Three different lactation curve models (Wood, Schaeffer, Glasbey) were applied to all data. The values of the determination coefficients of three lactation curve models were estimated at 70.62-79.47%. Some negative estimated values were obtained during the estimation of parameters. These results were restricted by the hypothesis and were tested. All restrictions were accepted. Total actual and mature equivalent (ME, 2x3057) milk yields were estimated. Differences between the actual values of lactation milk yield, and the …

Role Of Vitamin E In Decreasing The Toxic Effect Of Digoxin, İsmai̇l Meral, Burhanetti̇n Baydaş, Fahri̇ Bayiroğlu, Hamdi̇ Uysal

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the role of vitamin E in decreasing the toxic effect of digoxin. Electrocardiographic recordings of New Zealand rabbits which were treated with digoxin-only or digoxin+vitamin E were used. Recordings were obtained before and 24 hours after treatments. It was found that digoxin-only treatment caused a sinusoidal tachicardia without changing the durations or amplitudes of any wave on the trace. However, digoxin+vitamin E treatment did not produce any increase in heart rate. It was concluded that vitamin E injection along with digoxin injection might lower the toxic effect of digoxin. More studies are needed …

Postembryonic Development Of The Neural Lamella Of The Hypocerebralganglion In Melanogryllus Desertuspall. (Orthoptera, Gryllidae), Hati̇ce Karaki̇şi̇, Sema İşi̇sağ

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The sheath of the hypocerebral ganglion was divided into two parts: an outer layer, the neural lamella and an inner layer, the perilemma. Dark and light types of glial cells were identified in the perilemma. In the 4th and 7th nymphal stages, some fibrous material related to the neural lamella accumulated in the light glial cells. It was surrounded by rough endoplasmic reticulum membranes and was then transported towards te outer parts of the sheath. Finally, it was bound to and intermingled with the lamella. These observations indicate that the 4th and 7th nymphal stages are critical for the development …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Performance data on growth of lambs were collectted for two years from 23 village flocks in Central Anatolia. The results from the Akkaraman and Merino breeds and their crosses were analyzed by the least-squares method. The overall means for birth weight, pre-weaning daily gain, weaning weight and post-weaning growth rate were 3.74 kg, 188.4 gram, 16.4 kg and 83.6 gram, respectively. The performance was lower than reported for the same breeds from institutional flocks in Türkiye. Systematic effects of flock, season of birth, type of birth, sex and weight of dam were significant (p
