Journal Article 2013 08 08 Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate if three-dimensional power Doppler (3DPD) ultrasound (US) can detect bacterial cystitis in dogs better than two-dimensional (2D) US. Animals: Six mixed breed dogs Procedures: Ten ml of 0.1% alcoholic solution of salicylic acid was entered into the urinary bladder of six male mixed-breed dogs by catheter. Twenty four hours later, culture solution of Proteus mirabilis (103CFU /ml) was inoculated into the urinary bladder. The dogs were examined with complete blood and urine analysis and bacteriological culture on specified days during the infection and the treatment period. The urinary bladders of dogs were assessed by both 3DPD and 2D US techniques. All dogs were treated with therapeutic doses of Ceftriaxone for two weeks, 14 days after the infection. Results: results showed that 3DPD can better define the morphological and vascular characteristics of cystitis; 1 however, the main lesions were identified by both 2D and 3DPD US. Clinical Significance: The data showed that, the indicators of 3DPD can differentiate the disease acuteness and treatment response better than 2D US.

Journal Article 2013 08 08 Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of two NSAIDs, meloxicam and ketoprofen in controlling post-operative pain following ovariectomy in rats. Study design: Experimental study Animals: Twenty one healthy and adult female Sprague-Dawley rats weighting approximately 200 gr. Methods: Intramuscular injection of the combination of xylazine (10 mg/kg) and ketamine (75 mg/kg) was used to induce general anesthesia in all rats. Then the selected rat was assigned for a group prior to surgery in the following order: Group A, received no extra analgesic, group B, received subcutaneous injection of 5 mg/kg ketoprofen at the time of induction of anesthesia and group C received subcutaneous injection of 2 mg/kg meloxicam (7.5 mg/ml) at the time of induction of anesthesia. Then ovariectomy was performed through two dorso-lateral abdominal incisions. Score of pain at 2, 4 and 24 hours after the surgery using VAS, serum levels of cortisol and CPK at 2 hours after the surgery were evaluated in all rats. Results: The score of pain was significantly different in group A, compared to group B and C (P=0). Also the concentration of cortisol was significantly increased in all groups following the surgery. This increase was significant in group A compared to group B and C (P<0.05). Although CPK concentration was increased significantly in all groups after the surgery, no significant correlation was found among groups. Conclusion: It is concluded that either meloxicam or ketoprofen have similar effects in controlling pain following ovariectomy in rats.

Journal Article 2013 08 08 Objective- To consider the use of renal scintigraphic evaluation of kidney function in Persian cat and make a comparison between 99mTechnetium ethylenedicysteine and 99mTechnetium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic in renal scintigraphy. Design- Descriptive study Animals- 6 male healthy adult Persian cats - no clinical sign of renal disorders and prior to presentation. Procedure- The scintigraphy of right and left kidney using Gamma camera (Piker Model) and 99mTc-EC and 99mTc-DTPA as radiopharmaceuticals. Peak activity percentage (% PA), peak time (Tmax), half emptying-time (T1/2), total and individual GFR and flow and function time activity curves (TACs) are the determined parameters in this evaluation. Results- % PA, Tmax and T1/2 in left and right kidney for 99mTc-EC and 99mTc-DTPA respectively, were 49/86 %, 50/1 %, 11/3 min, 11/5 min, 4/4 min, 4/6 min and 51/27 %, 49/05 %, 7/7 min, 8/3 min, 3 min, 3/43 min. Moreover the quantities of total and individual GFR for left and right kidney measured by 99mTc-DTPA measured by modified Gates technique respectively, were 125/69 ml/min, 64/42ml/min (51/26 %), 61/24ml/min (48/73 %) and were in normal range defined by Gates technique. Conclusion and Clinical Relevance- normal indices obtained for listed parameters and total and individual GFR quantities can play a major role in order to diagnose kidney disorder or function deterioration and can be a background and specialized knowledge conducive to future studies. Also comparison of two radiopharmaceuticals 99mTc-EC and 99mTc-DTPA showed that 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy has the superiority to assess the quantities of total and individual GFR so we can use 99mTc-DTPA to evaluate Glomerular filtration rate in both kidneys.

Mahdieh Saeedi Graduated Student of Veterinary Medicine, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran. Journal Article 2013 08 08 Objective- Release of free radicals and oxidants following increased temperature of testis in cryptorchidism, play an important role in the producing testicular damage. The present study investigated the role of vitamin C as an antioxidant in protecting the testis against damage in experimental unilateral cryptorchidism. Design- Experimental study Animals- Forty five male adult Wistar–Albino rats Procedures- Animals were divided into three groups. The control group had intact rats, the cryptorchid group had unilateral cryptorchid rats in left testis and the treatment group had unilateral cryptorchid rats in left testis that it received vitamin C at a dose of 50 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneal, every other day, during experimental period. Epididymis samples were obtained from both testes of five cases of 15 animals of each group at 15, 30 and 60 days after induction of cryptorchidism and testicular weight/body weight ratio and epididymal sperm characteristics (sperm concentration, sperm motility and sperm viability) were evaluated. Results- Testicular weight/body weight ratio and sperm quality of the cryptorchid (left) testes in cryptorchid group significantly decreased compared to the control group (p<0.05), and treatment with vitamin C not significantly improved these parameters of these testes compared to the cryptorchid group (p>0.05). In addition, the left testes on unilateral cryptorchid rats had noticeable adverse effects on the sperm quality parameters of scrotal (right) testes (p<0.05), and treatment with vitamin C after 60 days, significantly improved all sperm quality parameters of these testes compared to the cryptorchid group (p<0.05). Conclusion and clinical relevance- It can be concluded that although treatment with vitamin C has few positive effect on sperm quality of cryptorchid testes, but it can significantly improve these parameters in scrotal testes on unilateral cryptorchid rats. Therefore it may be useful for treatment of cryptorchidism outcomes in male animals.

Nasrin Askari Student of Veterinary Medicine, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran. Journal Article 2013 08 08 Case Description- In this clinical report, occurrence of a rare case of canine cutaneous inverted papilloma was discussed. A 4-year-old, intact, male German shepherd dog was presented with multiple skin lesions, located on the inguinal region near the root of penis, which have been progressively growing since two months ago. In close examination of the lesions multiple, firm, painful, and cup-shaped nodules in different sizes with a central pore filled with keratin were observed. Treatment and Outcome- Surgical excision and histological evaluation was done. Histologically this tumor was characterized by endophytic projections of the epidermis extending into dermis.Cytopathic effects included ballooning degeneration of keratinocytes, koilocytosis, irregularity of keratohyalin granules, and margination of nuclear chromatin. Numerous eosinophilic intranuclear inclusions were present within keratinocytes of endophytic lesion. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were intensely positive for pancytokeratin. On the basis of histopathological and clinical findings, the tumor was diagnosed as multiple cutaneous inverted papilloma. There was no recurrence or any other complications in post operative monitoring. Clinical Relevance- Inverted papillomas are relatively uncommon in dogs; whereas, the incidence of this tumor in the inguinal region is uncommon. Treatment of inverted papilloma was completed by surgical excision in ablating the tumor masses and preventing re-growth.
