Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of bovine Cysticercosis of Slaughtered Cattle in Meshkinshahr AbattoirY. Garedaghi, A.P. Rezaii Saber, M. Saberie KhosroshahiProblem statement: The occurrence of the larvae of Taenia saginata (T. saginata) in cattle musculature causes T. saginata cysticercosis or bovine cysticercosis while the adult worms in human small intestines cause taeniasis. Approach: In this study, the prevalence of Taenia saginata cysticercosis in cattle slaughtered for meat in Meshkinshahr Abattoir, Iran between September 2010 and August 2011 was reported. Results: … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 21 Oct 2011 · 8,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAcute and Sub-Acute Toxicological Assessment of Aqueous Leaf Extract of Bryophyllum Pinnatum (Lam.) in Sprague-Dawley RatsRaymond Iduojemu Ozolua, Sylvester Eshiotseme Idogun, Glory Eshiagiamhe TafamelProblem statement: The aqueous leaf extract of Bryophyllum pinnatum has been reported to possess antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic and antiulcer properties among others. Being readily available and easy to cultivate, the use of the plant in herbal medicine has been on the increase. Although there are few toxicological reports on the extract, these have not been sufficiently extensive. We therefore … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,379 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChange in Growth Performance and Liver Function Enzymes of Broiler Chickens Challenged with Infectious Bursal Disease Virus to Dietary Supplementation of Methionine and ThreonineElham Maroufyan, Azhar Kasim, Seyed Reza Hashemi et al.Problem statement: The aim of this study was to verify the effects of methionine and threonine supplementations higher than the NRC recommendation on growth performance, liver function enzymes, blood parameters and immune tissues of broiler chickens challenged with infectious bursal disease. Approach: A total of 450 day-old male broiler chicks were assigned to nine groups. Chickens were fed by three … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,469 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Toxic Effects of Dihydroartemisinin on the Vital Organs of Wistar Albino RatsA. U. Utoh-Nedosa, P. A. Akah, T. C. Okoye, C. O. OkoliProblem statement: The current surge in the use of Artemisinin based Combination Therapy (ACT) in the treatment of falciparium resistant malaria in the tropics and the potentials of Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a member of the artemisinin family, to produce toxic effect in the vital organs (such as the liver, heart, lungs, intestine, spleen kidney and blood cells) necessitated this research. Approach: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 9,181 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Capability of Young Layers for Survival after Salmonella entritidis ChallengeE. S. Soliman, H. Busby, C. Kilpatrick et al.Problem statement: Genetic line differences in resistance of layer hens and young chicks to Salmonella entritidis have been identified through a lot of studies. That is why the agricultural industry was prepared for the potential phasing out of antibiotics for use in controlling bacterial pathogens. Early infection may result in long term colonization of layers with Salmonella entritidis, resulting in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMast Cells Inhibit CD8+ T Cell-Mediated Rejection of a Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma-Like Tumor: Involvement of Fas-Fas Ligand AxisHiroshi Furukawa, Hiroshi Kitazawa, Izumi Kaneko et al.Problem statement: Mast cells develop from bone marrow-derived progenitor cells and are distributed in the skin or mucosa where they play proinflammatory roles in the first line of defense. Since some tumors in humans and experimental animals exhibited infiltration of increased mast cells, we investigated the contribution of mast cells to the override of tumor rejection. Approach: MRL/N-1 cells are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro and In vivo Antioxidant Activity of Aphanamixis polystachya BarkAlluri V. Krishnaraju, Chirravuri V. Rao, Tayi V.N. Rao et al.Problem statement: Free radical stress leads to tissue injury and progression of disease conditions such as arthritis, hemorrhagic shock, atherosclerosis, diabetes, hepatic injury, aging and ischemia, reperfusion injury of many tissues, gastritis, tumor promotion, neurodegenerative diseases and carcinogenesis. Safer antioxidants suitable for long term use are needed to prevent or stop the progression of free radical mediated disorders.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractT-2 Toxin Regulated Ganoderma lucidum Induced Cytokine ReleaseKazem Ahmadi, Majid RiazipourThe water-soluble extract of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) has been used as immunomodulator to stimulate spleen cells proliferation and cytokine expression. It has also been shown that at some level of exposure, T-2 toxin typically act as immunosuppressive agent and can increase disease susceptibility. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of T-2 toxin on cytokine production by … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Immunomodulatory Properties of a Calf Lipid Thymus Extract and Standardization of a Method for Quantification of its Biological ActivityMiodrag Colic, Radmila Popovic, Dusanka Mrdakovic et al.The aim of this study was to test the immunobiological properties of a new formulation of the lipid thymus calf extract (Thymsol), prepared for in vitro cell culture experiments. At first, we showed that Thymsol enhanced the antigen specific immune response in AO rats in vitro, using Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). At lower concentrations (0.5-2.5 μg mL-1) the extract increased … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
