The objective of this study was to improve the reproductive efficiency of dairy cows with puerperal metritis (PM) subsequent to retained placenta (RP) using a two-step treatment strategy. A total of 188 postpartum cows, aged from 2 to 8 years, were utilised for 2 experiments. In Experiment 1, cows affected with RP/PM were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. Cows in Group A (n = 17) were treated with 600 mg of ceftiofur intramuscularly for 3 days followed by intrauterine lavage with 0.1% chlorhexidine and infusion with 0.5% povidoneiodine, while cows in Group B (n = 16) received two intrauterine infusions, first with 5 g of oxytetracycline and then with 0.5% povidone-iodine. Cows with normal postpartum findings were regarded as the healthy control group (n = 26). Ultrasonographic examination revealed that the ovarian activities including the appearance of a dominant follicle and days to first ovulation of the cows in Group A during the early postpartum period differed from those of Group B (P < 0.05), which coincided with the results of uterine swabbing for bacteriology. In Experiment 2, cows with normal postpartum findings were allocated to Group D (n = 78), which received an ovulation protocol (GnRH - 7 d PGF2α - 48 h hCG - 24 h AI) on day 50 ± 2 postpartum. Cows affected with PM were randomly divided into two groups, Group E (n = 25) combined the treatments applied in Groups A and D, while Group F (n = 26) repeated the treatment administered in Group E except for uterine lavage. The results indicated that the pregnancy rate within 150 days postpartum and the mean days open in Group E (76.0% and 106.3 ± 4.6 days, respectively) were significantly different from those in Group F (38.5% and 137.9 ± 10.9 days, respectively) (P < 0.05). This study suggests that reproductive efficiency could be improved by using the two-step treatment to regulate uterine involution and an early resumption of ovarian function in cows with RP/PM.

Abstract Introduction: Calabash chalk is a naturally occurring mineral, chiefly composed of fossilized sea shells. It is prepared from clay and mud mixed with other ingredients, including lead, arsenic, sand and wood ash. Clay consumption is correlated with pregnancy, and also to eliminate morning sickness in women. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of calabash chalk on the ovarian function in adult female Wistar rats. Methods: Eighteen (18) adult female Wistar rats. Group A served as the control group, group B received 40 mg/kg body weight of Non-salted calabash chalk while group C received 40 mg/kg body weight of Salted calabash chalk for 14 days. On day 15, the animals were sacrificed for histological and biochemical examination. Results: Results showed a significant (P< 0.05) reduction in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels of the treatment groups when compared with the control group and an increase in luteinizing hormone (LH) levels of the treatment groups when compared with the control group. Histological examination of the ovaries showed severe deterioration of the ovarian follicles, necrosis and follicular atresia. Conclusion: Calabash chalk is toxic to ovarian function. These alterations have been shown to be the leading cause ofinfertility in female rats. Hence, proper monitoring, education, and regulation of the product is needed.

Objective: To study the effect of liposomal curcumin combined with PDGFBB on tendon healing after tendon injury in rats and explore its mechanism. Methods Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into four groups: healthy control group (group A), liposomal curcumin group (group B), PDGF-BB group (group C) and combined application group (group D). The rats in each group were divided into groups according to the experimental group. At the 4th and 8th weeks after operation, the general morphology, histomorphology, biomechanics and other aspects of rat tendon were detected and statistically analyzed. Results: The degree of tendon adhesion in group B and D was significantly less than that in group A and C, and the difference was statistically significant. The biomechanical test showed that the tendons in group C and D had higher strength and could withstand greater stress than those in group A and B. Conclusion: Liposome curcumin combined with PDGF-BB can significantly reduce the degree of adhesion after tendon injury, increase the strength of tendon healing, and significantly promote tendon healing.

SUMMARYThe growth and feed intakes of Corriedale wether sheep when grown from 30 to 50 kg body weight by five different growth paths are described.Group A (control) grew continuously (fed ad libitum). After reaching ca; 40 kg body weight, group B and C animals lost 21% of their initial body weight over 9 and 18 weeks and at 122 and 63 g/day, respectively, and began realimentation at 30 kg body weight. Group D and E animals were ca. 50 kg body weight when weight loss was imposed and they lost body weight at similar rates (125 and 157 g/day) respectively. Animals in group D lost 34% of their initial body weight over 18 weeks and began realimentation at 30 kg body weight (the same as groups B and C). Group E animals lost 23% of their initial body weight over 9 weeks to begin realimentation at 35 kg body weight. Except during periods of weight loss, animals were fed ad libitum. Compensatory growth was observed in all groups which had lost weight, with early recovery growth rates 1·6–1·8 times higher than control sheep of the same weight.Rate of body-weight loss did not induce any significant differences in response to realimentation but results (groups B and C) suggest that the more rapid the loss, the more rapid will recovery be during realimentation. When sheep at different body weights lost the same proportion of their initial body weights, the heavier sheep (group E) attained final slaughter weight quicker than the lighter sheep (group B). When the proportion of body weight lost to reach a particular lower body weight was varied (groups B and D), the greater weight loss was associated with higher and more persistent growth rates during realimentation.After weight loss, ad libitum dry-matter intake was significantly lower during the first 10 kg of gain during realimentation in all treatment groups (B, C, D, E) than in control group A. There were no differences between treatment groups in recovery of dry-matter intake.Gross efficiency in all treatment groups was higher than in the control group A during the first 10 kg of recovery of body weight, but it then declined rapidly. This increase in gross efficiency was considered to be due to a combination of increased growth rates, reduced feed intakes and lower maintenance requirements. When the complete growth paths from 30 to 50 kg were considered, there were no significant differences in total feed consumed by the sheep following the five different growth paths.

Introduction: Hepatotoxicity induced by anti-tuberculous medicine is known due to their oxidative stress. Ajwa dates may have a role to protect liver from oxidative stress Aims & Objectives: To assess the preventive effect of Ajwa date on hepatotoxicity induced by anti-tuberculous drugs in rabbits. Place and duration of study: Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lahore for three months, from May 2014 to July 2014. Material & Methods: Thirty rabbits were distributed into five groups. Rabbits of Group A and of B were fed on normal diet in form of pellets. Group C, D and E were provided diet containing one whole Ajwa date, flesh of one Ajwa date and powdered seed of one Ajwa date respectively in each 100 grams of diet throughout study. Group B, C, D and E were administered 50mg/kg isoniazid and 100mg/kg rifampicin orally for 14 days. Serum levels of liver enzymes Alanine transaminase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bilirubin were estimated on day 0 and 14. One way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey’s test and t-test were applied for statistical analysis using SPSS 20. Results: Baseline LFTs were normal in all groups. Significant hepatotoxicity was observed after 2weeks of INH and rifampicin administration in disease control group B (ALT 200.2±19.3 & ALP 231.0±21.3 IU/L, AST 139.0±22 & bilirubin 0.48±0.046mg/dl, (p value < 0.001) as compared to healthy control group A (ALT47.2 ± 6.7 & ALP78.2 ±5.0 IU/L, AST 43.0 ± 9.7, bilirubin 0.10± 0.00mg/dl). (p value < 0.001). Concomitant Ajwa intake during the same period resulted in an equipotent significantly similar improvement in LFTs in Groups C (whole date) ALT55.7 ± 4.7&ALP 91.5 ±5.0IU/L, AST, 59.0 ± 15.3 &bilirubin 0.09 ±0.02 mg/dl): D (flesh) ALT89.8 ± 6.3 & ALP111.3 ±9.4 IU/L, AST73.7 ± 8.3 & bilirubin0.12± 0.04 mg/dl & E (seed powder) ALT85.8 ± 8.6 IU/L &ALP 92.8 ±11.4 IU/L, AST57.5 ± 5.3 & bilirubin 0.12 ±0.04 mg/dl) versus group B (p value < 0.001). and near normalization of liver function close to that of healthy control group Conclusion: Co-administration of Ajwa date whole fruit, flesh and seed powder are equipotent and effective in preventing isoniazid and rifampicin induced hepatotoxicity.

Objective External humeral epicondylitis, also known as “tennis elbow”, is a chronic motor inflammation caused by non-normative movement or excessive pressure and torsion of the forearm tendon and bone. The external humeral epicondylitis occursmostly in tennis, badminton, table tennis, fencing, throwing, gymnastics and other sport programs. Because it has the highest incidence in tennis, everyone is used to call it "tennis elbow". Those who have repeatedly used force to do elbow activities in daily life, such as housewives, bricklayers, woodworkers, etc., are also susceptible to this disease. Therefore, the disease affects a large number of occupations and sports. The conventional medical nsurgery leads to a large wound area and a long recovery time, which is easy to shorten the sportlife of the patient. The conservative Chinese medicine ginger moxibustion therapy could clear the meridians and organs by stimulating the acupoint of the human body. This moxibustion therapy has the advantages of small trauma, low cost, comprehensive treatment and small side effects by adjusting the blood, and would not bring inconvenience to patients' daily life and normal exercises. This paper aims to use a conservative treatment-Traditional Chinese medicine ginger moxibustion and its composite therapy to rehabilitate the external humeral epicondylitis systematically and compare the rehabilitation effects of different compound therapy to provide a basis for tennis elbow’s rehabilitation. Methods Eighty-four tennis elbow patients were divided into three treatment groups and one control group randomly, subject and observer-double-blind, third-party evaluation. The treatment groups included a group of ginger moxibustion named A,a group of floating needle combined with ginger moxibustion named B, and a group of Yunnan BaiYao aerosol combined with ginger moxibustion named C, the control group named D, 21 people/group. In the treatment group A, acupuncture points were taken from A’shi, Quchi and Hand Sanli, ginger moxibustion treatment,5 moxibustion columns/time, once every other day, 5 times as a course of treatment, observethe effect after two courses; The group B was first treated with floating needles at three acupoints, and after 2 minutes treated as group A, 5 moxibustion columns each time, once every other day, 5 times as a course of treatment, observe the effect after two courses as well;The group C was first sprayed on Yunnan Baiyaoaeroso in three acupoints,two minutes later, treated as group A, use 5 moxibustion columns each time, once every other day, 5 times as a course of treatment, observe the effect after two courses. The control group was treated with ginger laser treatment at the same acupoints, keep as the same treatment as group A, observethe effect after two courses. The shoulder-arm-hand disability score (DASH) was use for the main observation index, and pain (VAS), painless grip strength (PFGS) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) were meanwhile used as secondary observation indicators. Results  Four sets of experimental data were submitted to Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The analysis of results showed that patients in treatment groups improved their function and relieved the pain significantly much better than the ginger-fake laser control group within 3-12 months of treatment completion. In the treatment group, the total effective rate of the group A-- treated with ginger-free moxibustion was 80%, and the total effective rate of the group C --treated with Yunnan Bai Yao aerosol combined with ginger moxibustion was 85%,and the total effective rate of the group B--treatment with floating needle combined with ginger moxibustion was 92%, but the total effective rate of the control group was 10%. Conclusions The clinical recovery evaluation and index assessment results showed that ginger moxibustion and its combination therapy had significant curative effects on patients suffering external humeral epicondylitis. The addition of auxiliary means also promoted the rehabilitation effects, further proving the Traditional Chinese medical effects. The method could significantly improve the rehabilitation of external humeral epicondylitis. The research made a bold exploration for the multi-organizational cooperation mode of TCM compound therapy in the field of sport injury habilitation, and opened a new way for its application ofclinical research.

Introduction:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect protein containing adiponectin from the adipocytes on the regeneration of pancreatic β-cells in rates previously treated with (STZ). Therefore, adipocytes from different sources were extracted for protein (adipokines) and the effect was evaluated on pancreatic β-cell regeneration. Methods: The protein extracts from trimmed off abdominal adipose tissues of meat sources, namely chicken, beef and lamb, were used in the present study. The fats were removed, and protein were isolated, and hydrolysate were prepared and injected to rats. The rats were induced hyperglycemia with streptozotocin (STZ) were divided into normal rats (Group-A), insulin treated rats (Group-B), protein containing beef adiponectin (PCBA) (Group-C), protein containing lamb adiponectin (PCLA) (Group-D), protein containing chicken adiponectin (PCCA) (Group-E) and no treatment hyperglycemic rats (Group-F). The rats were injected 30mg of the aforementioned proteins and pancreatic morphology was assessed two weeks post-treatment. Results: The pancreas of the Group-A showed normal islets of Langerhans with abundant beta cells. In the no treatment rats (Group-F), islets were lower in cellular density compared to the control and treatment groups. The pancreas of Group-C, D and E rats showed islets and acinar cells that were comparable to the control. The pancreas of insulin-treated Group-B was similar in architecture to the control group. Conclusions:The present study indicates that protein extracts containing adipokines from Adipocytes Containing Adiponectin Causes β-cell Regeneration in Rats

The present study was conducted to reduce phosphorus pollution from broilers waste by supplementing phytase enzyme in broilers fee. Two hundred two-week-old broilers (Hubbard) were selected and randomly allocated to three dietary treatment groups, one control group (without phytase) and two trial groups (group A with 300 U/kg phytase and group B with 600 U/kg phytase). Each group was composed of 5 replicates with 10 chicks. Broilers fed the control diet (without phytase) gained weight slower (P< 0.05) than the other treatment groups. A significant increase in body weight gain of group A (28.00 ± 2.97) and group B (29.75 ± 3.45) was observed as compared to control group (26.75 ± 2.78). The feed intake of the birds fed the diets containing microbial phytase 600 U/kg was the highest. Phytase significantly (P> 0.05) reduces excreta P and Ca level. Phytase addition did not affect excreta pH. The presence of phytase in feed mixtures significantly (P> 0.05) improves the body weight gain and feed intake of broiler chickens.
