notexin induced muscle injury in the dog
Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1993Co-Authors: Nicholas J H Sharp, Joe N Kornegay, R J Bartlett, Wuyen Hung, Michael J DykstraAbstract:Notexin, a myotoxic phospholipase, was used to induce focal necrosis in the sartorius muscles of normal mixed-breed adult dogs and in 12-week-old beagles. Notexin injury caused pathologic changes similar to those of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and its canine homologue, golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD). All three conditions are characterized by increased serum creatine kinase (CK) levels, sarcolemmal defects, delta lesions, Hyaline Degeneration of myofibers, calcium-positive myofibers, and minimal effects on neurovascular structures. Four and 24 h after exposure to notexin, serum CK levels were elevated, and many myofibers were necrotic. In addition, by 24 h the necrotic areas were heavily invaded by mononuclear cells, and calcium-positive myofibers were prominent. Capillaries appeared intact even in areas of marked myonecrosis. Massive cellular infiltrate and myotube formation was evident at 3 days post injury. By 7 days, most affected fascicles were occupied by small immature myofibers. Regeneration was largely complete at 21 days. Our results suggest that notexin-induced muscle injury in dogs will be useful in the evaluation of potential therapies for DMD such as myoblast transplantation.

Alterações histopatológicas em miocárdio de cães com parvovirose
Universidade Federal de Uberlândia, 2008Co-Authors: Magalhães, Aline Oliveira CoelhoAbstract:Parvovirose é uma enfermidade viral caracterizada por gastroenterite hemorrágica aguda, cujo agente etiológico é parvovírus canino (PVC), vírus estável no ambiente, capaz de suportar variações de pH e temperaturas altas, resistente a vários desinfetantes comuns, podendo sobreviver por muitos meses em áreas contaminadas. Há duas formas clínicas comuns da doença: a miocárdica e a gastroentérica. No Brasil a doença eclodiu subitamente na população canina no ano de 1978. Objetiva-se com este trabalho analisar microscopicamente o miocárdio de cães com teste de detecção de antígenos parvovírus nas fezes. Das 100 amostras do miocárdio ventricular esquerdo, enviadas ao Laboratório de Histopatologia da Universidade de Uberaba, foram observadas as seguintes alterações: miocardite 38%, hemorragia 43%, degeneração hialina 21% hiperemia 79%. Ao realizar o teste Qui-Quadrado com nível de significância de 0,05, concluiu-se que existe associação (p = 0,02) entre animais infectados com o vírus da parvovirose e as alterações histopatológicas observadas no miocárdio ventricular esquerdo.Parvoviruses is a viral disease characterized by an acute hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, caused by a canine parvovirus (CPV) that is stable in the environment, able to bear pH variations and high temperatures. It is resistant to many common disinfectants and can survive for many months in contaminated areas. There are two common clinical forms of the disease: the myocardial and the gastroenteric. This work had as objective to analyse microscopically the cardiopathy cases, diagnosticated macroscopically during the necropsy of dogs with parvovirus detected in faeces. In the 100 samples send to the Histopathology Laboratory, from the University of Uberaba, they get in the left ventricular myocardium the following alterations: myocarditis 38%, hemorrhage 43%, Hyaline Degeneration 21% and hyperemia 79%. Having been carried out the Qui-Quadrado test with a significance level of 0,05, we can conclude that there is association (p = 0,02) between the infected animals with the parvoviruses virus and the histopathologyc alterations observed in the left ventricular myocardium

use of biometric hematologic and plasma biochemical variables and histopathology to assess the chronic effects of the herbicide prometryn on common carp
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, 2013Co-Authors: Josef Velisek, Alžběta Stara, Eliska Zuskova, Zdenka SvobodovaAbstract:Background Effects of acute and subchronic exposure of fish to s-triazine herbicides have been well documented, but data on the effects of prometryn on blood analytes in carp at environmentally realistic concentrations are lacking. Objective The objective of the study was to determine whether biometrics, blood analytes, and histopathology could serve as bioindicators in fish living in waters polluted by triazine. Methods Fish were exposed to prometryn at concentrations of 0.51 (reported concentration in Czech rivers), 8.0, and 80 μg/L for 14, 30, and 60 days. Prior to and during this period, biometrics, blood analytes, and histopathology were evaluated. Results After 60 days' exposure to 8.0 and 80 μg/L of prometryn, spleen weights (P < .05) and lactate (P < .01) levels were significantly lower, and concentrations of HGB (P < .01) and MHC (P < .01) and MCHC (P < .01) were higher, relative to controls. After 30 and 60 days' exposure to 0.51, 8.0, and 80 μg/L of prometryn, AST activity, calcium, magnesium, and inorganic phosphate levels were lower (P < .01), while creatinine concentration and ALT activity were higher (P < .01) than in controls. Glucose was higher after exposure to 80 μg/L after 30 and 60 days, and after 60 days' exposure to 8.0 μg/L. Renal histology revealed severe Hyaline Degeneration of the epithelial cells of caudal kidney tubules in fish at all exposure levels. Conclusions This study shows effects in fish blood at a concentration of 0.51 μg/L of prometryn, a significant finding in view of prometryn reaching a maximum of 4.4 μg/L or less in European rivers. Select blood analytes, such as creatinine, and histologic changes in caudal kidney are potential biomarkers for monitoring residual triazine pesticides in Common Carp.

effects of long term exposure to simazine in real concentrations on common carp cyprinus carpio l
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2012Co-Authors: Josef Velisek, Alžběta Stara, Jana Machova, Zdenka SvobodovaAbstract:The effects of a 90 day simazine exposure at concentrations of 0.06 (reported concentration in Czech rivers), 1, 2, and 4 μg L−1 were assessed in one-year-old common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). Its influence on biometric parameters, hematology, blood biochemistry, liver biomarkers, and histology was investigated. Biometric parameters of common carp exposed to simazine at 0.06 μg L−1 showed no differences from untreated fish. Simazine concentrations of 1, 2, and 4 μg L−1 caused significant (p<0.01) increase of hepatosomatic indices relative to controls. Hematological profiles showed significant (p<0.01) decrease in leukocyte count relative to controls at all concentrations. Biochemical profiles of common carp exposed to simazine at all concentrations showed significant (p<0.01) increase in activity of alkaline phosphatase. In addition, at concentrations of 1 and 2 μg L−1, there was a significant increase in alanine aminotransferase (p<0.05), and, at 4 μg L−1, a significant increase in total protein (p<0.05), albumins (p<0.05), and alanine aminotransferase (p<0.05) compared with controls. Renal histology revealed severe Hyaline Degeneration of the epithelial cells of caudal kidney tubules in fish at all exposure levels compared to controls. Chronic exposure of common carp to simazine caused significant shifts in hematological, biochemical, and biometric profiles, and histopathological changes. The results of this study indicate that chronic exposure of simazine has altered multiple physiological indices in fish hematology and biochemistry, which potentially may be a biomarker of simazine toxicity; however, before these parameters are used as special biomarkers for monitoring residual simazine in aquatic environment, more detailed experiments in laboratory need to be performed in the future.

effects of acute exposure to metribuzin on some hematological biochemical and histopathological parameters of common carp cyprinus carpio l
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2009Co-Authors: Josef Velisek, Zdenka Svobodova, Veronika Piackova, Eliska SudovaAbstract:The aim of the study was to evaluate acute toxic effects of the preparation Sencor 70 WG (metribuzin 70% W/V) on hematological, biochemical indices and histology of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). In carp exposed for 96 h to Sencor 70 WG in the concentration of 250.2 mg/L, showed significantly lower (p < 0.01) values of plasma total proteins, albumins, total globulins, triacylglycerols, lactate dehydrogenase, lactate, inorganic phosphate, hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration, mean erythrocyte volume, the leucocrite value, lymphocyte, and significantly higher (p < 0.01) values of glucose, ammonia, calcium, monocytes, neutrophile granulocytes, developmental forms myeloid sequence and basophiles compared to the control group. Histopathological examination revealed Hyaline Degeneration of the epithelial cells of renal tubules of the caudal kidney. This alteration of kidney resulted in hypoproteinemia, followed by generation of transudate in body cavity.

pathologic evidence of Degeneration as a primary cause of rotator cuff tear
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2003Co-Authors: Takashi Hashimoto, Katsuya Nobuhara, Tetsuo HamadaAbstract:Histopathologic, histochemical, and morphometric studies were done on 80 medial stumps of torn rotator cuff tendons to clarify the cause of tears. A high prevalence and diffuse distribution of degenerative changes were observed in the rotator cuff tendons including thinning and disorientation of collagen fibers, myxoid Degeneration, Hyaline Degeneration, chondroid metaplasia, calcification, vascularproliferation, and fatty infiltration. No distinct inflammatory reaction was observed. Thinning and disorientation of collagen fibers, myxoid Degeneration, and Hyaline Degeneration were seen in all cases. All changes except vascular proliferation and fatty infiltration were more pronounced in the middle to deep layers of the tendons than in the superficial layer. The collagen fibers were disoriented in the deep layer of the tendons, shown by microscopic image analysis. The frequency and distribution of thinning and disorientation of collagen fibers, myxoid Degeneration, and Hyaline Degeneration suggest that these are early degenerative processes. Chondroid metaplasia and calcification may be chronic pathologic changes that occur after tearing regardless of the type of tear. Preexisting degenerative change in the middle and deep layers of the tendon in association with microtrauma seems to be the main cause of rotator cuff tears.
