Effects Of Hexachlorobenzene On Rat Renal Cortex: An Ultrastructural Study, Emel Koptagel, Hüseyi̇n Eray Bulut Jan 2002

Effects Of Hexachlorobenzene On Rat Renal Cortex: An Ultrastructural Study, Emel Koptagel, Hüseyi̇n Eray Bulut

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Male Wistar albino rats, bred and fed under standard laboratory conditions, were administered for 20 days two dosages [Group I: 750 mg/kg body weight (n = 15) and Group II: 1500 mg/kg body weight (n = 15)] of oral hexachlorobenzene resolved in corn oil. Control group animals (n = 15) received only corn oil for 20 days. Twenty-four hours after the administration of the last dose, renal tissue samples, obtained by laparotomy, were fixed in 3% glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer and 1% aqueous osmium tetroxide. Following the routine tissue processing steps, samples were blocked in Araldyte CY 212. Ultrathin sections …

Thymic Nurse Cells Determined In Situ At The Light And Electron Microscopic Level, F. Fi̇gen Kaymaz, Atti̇la Dağdevi̇ren Jan 2002

Thymic Nurse Cells Determined In Situ At The Light And Electron Microscopic Level, F. Fi̇gen Kaymaz, Atti̇la Dağdevi̇ren

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Thymic nurse cells are isolated thymic epithelial/thymocyte complexes described in vitro. Their in vivo existence is controversial. We examined rat thymi in order to distinguish thymic nurse cells in vivo using the zinc iodide-osmium tetroxide (ZIO) fixation/staining technique. There were mainly two types of strongly ZIO reactive cells in the thymic cortex: macrophages and small clusters of thymic epithelial cells. The latter group was composed of thymic epithelial cells and intact thymocytes forming complexes. Thus we suggest that these structures are in situ equivalents of thymic nurse cells.

Avipox In A Common Buzzard (Buteo Buteo), Özlem Özmen, Gerry M. Dorrestein Jan 2002

Avipox In A Common Buzzard (Buteo Buteo), Özlem Özmen, Gerry M. Dorrestein

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

An adult, male common buzzard (Buteo buteo) with a leg fracture and multiple proliferative cutaneous nodules on its feet was brought to Akdeniz University Burdur Veterinary Faculty by a farmer who found the bird at his farm. There were similar small nodules on the eyelids and beak. The fractured bone ends had become necrotized. The buzzard was euthanized. On histopathological examination of nodules, large, eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (Bollinger bodies) were seen. Avipox was diagnosed on the basis of the typical gross and microscopic features.

Renal Oxalosis In A Calf, M. Yavuz Gülbahar, Abdullah Kaya, İsmai̇l Gölen Jan 2002

Renal Oxalosis In A Calf, M. Yavuz Gülbahar, Abdullah Kaya, İsmai̇l Gölen

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

A case of neonatal renal oxalosis in a 7-day-old calf is described. Clinical biochemistry revealed increased blood urea nitrogen. Gross findings included thin renal medulla and dilated renal calyces containing numerous, small, pale yellow and granular calculi. Histologically, most cortical and medullary tubules were dilated with birefringent crystals, whereas the glomeruli appeared unaffected. The crystals were morphologically consistent with calcium oxalate by the Pizzolato technique. Diffuse interstitial fibrosis and focal accumulations of lymphocytes were also noted.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the detection of canine parvovirus (CPV) in a fecal sample from a dog with enteritis was performed for the first time using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Turkey. The final PCR product was analyzed using the restriction fragment length polymorphysm (RFLP) technique. RFLP analysis using Apa LI and Eco RV restriction endonucleases revealed homology in the nucleotide sequence in at least the VP2 coding region of the virus DNAs detected in the fecal specimen and prepared from attenuated vaccine virus as a positive control.

Histopathology Of The Epidermal Papilloma In Cage Cultured Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) In Eğirdir Lake, Öznur Di̇ler, M. Rüştü Özen Jan 2002

Histopathology Of The Epidermal Papilloma In Cage Cultured Mirror Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) In Eğirdir Lake, Öznur Di̇ler, M. Rüştü Özen

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the histopathology of enzootic epidermal papillomas in cage cultured mirror carp from the Liman region of Eğirdir Lake was investigated. Macroscopically, the lesions were creamy-white, had a villus-like structure and were localised in the operculum, lateral line and fins. Histopathological studies showed that lesions were the result of hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue and epidermal tissues. The cells of both tissues were faintly stained by HxE and PAS. Under light microscopy, cytoplasmic vacuolation in epidermal cells in the lesions was prominent. Mucous cells were relatively common and larger than normal. Chemotherapy effectively cured all lesions.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

As regards fiber diameter quality and yields, Turkish Merinos have proven successful. They have better fertility and meat yields than native species bred in Turkey. It is of significance to know the similarity degree between Turkish Merinos and Deutsches Merinofleischschaf. Various methods of statistical analysis may be employed to determine the similarity degree between related species. One of the methods to be employed is cluster analysis. In this study, the live weight, body measurements and fiber diameter of these two genotypes were determined by cluster analysis. The hierarchical clustering and SLINK techniques and Euclidean distance method were used for clustering. …
