The rhizome of this herb is rich in triterpenoid glycosides, including 23-O-acetylshengmanol-3-o-α-L-arabinoside (DA). Whether and how DA attenuates acute lung injury (ALI) are unclear. Accordingly, we focused on ...

... Autosomal recessive bestrophinopathy (ARB) is a rare subtype of bestrophinopathy caused by biallelic mutations of the BEST1 gene. ARB is characterized by multifocal subretinal deposits accompanied by macular edema or subretinal fluid, hyperopia, co-existing narrow angle, and a marked decrease in electrooculogram. However, little is known about the genetic variants and specific clinical features of ...

Abstract:
... In dogs, balloon valvuloplasty is considered the treatment of choice for severe pulmonary valve stenosis, and this technique is currently performed routinely in specialist referral practices with low morbidity and mortality. Stent angioplasty has also been recently proposed as a viable treatment option. The present case series describes the clinical course of four dogs with severe pulmonary valve ...

Abstract:
... Corneal ulcers are commonly found eye disorders. If not treated appropriately it can lead to permanent damage to the eye. Routine medicinal treatment many times is not able to achieve healing, which necessitates the surgical intervention. The study was conducted to treat canine corneal ulcer using conjunctival pedicle grafting (group I) and conjunctival bridge grafting (group II) techniques. The s ...

Abstract:
... Intracranial extra‐axial histiocytic sarcoma shares common MRI features with meningioma. As histiocytic sarcoma carries a generally worse prognosis than meningioma, the ability to differentiate between these two neoplasms is of clinical value. The aim of this retrospective diagnostic accuracy and observer agreement study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of high‐field MRI to differentia ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this scoping review was to describe and characterize the existing literature regarding umbilical health and identify gaps in knowledge. Six databases were searched for studies examining umbilical health in an intensively raised cattle population. There were 4249 articles initially identified; from these, 723 full text articles were then screened, with 150 articles included in the ...

Abstract:
... Some patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) develop peri-lead brain edema after deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The influence of edema on neurological function is not well characterized. We investigated the relationship of brain edema after DBS surgery with motor and cognitive function. Thirteen patients with PD (6 males and 7 females; mean age: 61.2 years) who underwent bilateral subthalami ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical records of dogs treated with a superficial brachial axial pattern flap for closure of a skin defect were reviewed. Information regarding signalment, reason for axial pattern flap use, skin flap si ...

Abstract:
... The osmotic activity produced by internal, non‐permeable, anionic nucleic acids and metabolites causes a persistent and life‐threatening cell swelling, or cellular edema, produced by the Gibbs‐Donnan effect. This evolutionary‐critical osmotic challenge must have been resolved by LUCA or its ancestors, but we lack a cell‐physiology look into the biophysical constraints to the solutions. Like mycopl ...

Abstract:
... Two vascular tumors in two Argentine horned frogs (Ceratophrys ornata) are described. Case 1 involved a 7-yr-1-month-old Argentine horned frog that had a splenic mass with a sanguineous coelomic effusion. Histologically, the splenic parenchyma was effaced by a poorly demarcated, invasive mass consisting of spindle cells with marked nuclear atypia forming irregular blood vessel channels containing ...

Abstract:
... A method capable of identifying drug-induced arteritis is highly desirable because no specific and sensitive biomarkers have yet been defined. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to find a biomarker candidate for drug-induced arteritis, there are no reports on the evaluation of drug-induced arteritis by MRI. The present study was conducted to clarify whether Fenoldopam mesylate ( ...

Abstract:
... High altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a fatal disease of fluid accumulation in the lungs resulting from acute exposure to high altitude and hypoxia. Now research has found that changes in DNA methylation are genetically related. We investigated the effects of hypermethylation and hypomethylation on HAPE. We conducted an analysis of methylation in Chinese HAPE patients (53 patients and 53 control ...

Abstract:
... Cetaceans are tight-skinned mammals that exhibit an extraordinary capacity to heal deep soft tissue injuries. However, essential information of large full-thickness wound healing in cetaceans is still lacking. Here, the stages of full-thickness wound healing were characterized in Fraser’s dolphins (Lagenodelphis hosei). The skin samples were collected from normal skin and full-thickness cookiecutt ...

Abstract:
... Background:Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an opportunistic parasite that causes serious diseases in humans, particularly immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. To date, there are limited numbers of therapeutics for chronic toxoplasmosis which necessitate the discovery of effective and safe therapeutics. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the antitoxoplasmosis potential of ging ...

Abstract:
... Two prostanglandins (luprostiol, LUP, and dinoprost, DIN) and two ovulation-inducing agents (human Chorionic Gonadotropin, hCG, and deslorelin, DES) were evaluated for luteolysis and estrus induction, and for ovulation induction, respectively, in embryo donor jennies. Twenty-six fertile Andalusian jennies were used. In Experiment 1, jennies (n = 112 cycles) were randomly treated with either LUP or ...

Abstract:
... Congenital malformations diagnosed by ultrasound screening complicate 3–5% of pregnancies and many of these have an underlying genetic cause. Approximately 40% of prenatally diagnosed fetal malformations are associated with aneuploidy or copy number variants, detected by conventional karyotyping, QF-PCR and microarray techniques, however monogenic disorders are not diagnosed by these tests. Next g ...
