Then the heart rate, durations (seconds - s) and amplitude (millivolts - mv) of the P wave, QRS complex and T wave all measured in the bipolar II derivation<br />Results- There was a normal sinus rhythm after application of all drugs or combinations. The range of the heart rate of the birds was from 93 to 321 beats/min. The P wave was always positive in all recorded leads after administration. During anesthesia or sedation with all drugs, the T wave was positive in leads I, II, III and aVF and negative in leads aVR, and aVL. The amplitude and duration of P, QRS and T waves were changed after intranasal administration of all drugs or combinations. <br />Conclusion and Clinical Relevance- Based on the electrocardiographic hjfindings it seems that the xylazine is not a suitable drug to induce sedation and anesthesia of choughs via intranasal administration. Therefore, xylazine must be used for birds when its antagonists are accessible.https://www.ivsajournals.com/article_57461_5ee786031eccc21675bb1d322d8c024a.pdfIranian Veterinary Surgery Association (IVSA)Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery2008-303312220171201The Healing Effect of Chitosan Supported Nano-CeO2 on Experimental Excisional Wound Infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Rat9205784910.22034/ivsa.2017.94632.1122ENAkoShabrandiDepartment of Surgery and Diagnostic Imaging, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Urmia University, Urmia, IranSaeedAziziDepartment of Surgery and Diagnostic Imaging, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine,

The wound was infected with p. aeruginosa and in positive control (PC) group it was treated with silver sulfadiazine ointment with no treatment in negative control (NC) group. The infected wound was treated with chitosan suspension-gel, cerium oxide nanoparticles solution or chitosan supported-CeO2 nanoparticle gel in the treatment groups. The rats were randomized into five groups (n=12). Each group was subdivided into three subgroups of four animals each and studied 3, 7 and 14 days post-wounding.<br />Results- Plantimetry, histopathological assessments and hydroxyprolin content showed better and faster healing of the wounds in the treatment groups, particularly in chitosan supported-CeO2 nanoparticle gel (ChCe) group compared to the NC group (P< 0.05). Using by Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) the total antioxidant capacity was statistically higher in treatment groups compared to NC group (p< 0.05). The bacterial numbers were significantly lower in ChCe and cerium oxide nanoparticles solution (Ce) groups compared to chitosan (CH) group on day 3 post-wounding (P< 0.05). <br />Conclusion and Clinical Relevance-Topical application of the chitosan supported nano-CeO2 particles on the infected wound enhanced tissue total antioxidant capacity, reduced the bacterial count, accelerated proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, increased hydroxyproline level and neovascularization scale of the healing wound. Chitosan supported nano-CeO2 hydrogel could be suggested as an alternative therapy for treating of the infected wound.https://www.ivsajournals.com/article_57849_54896249c59acd568ee071229d0883c9.pdfIranian Veterinary Surgery Association (IVSA)Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery2008-303312220171201Benidipine Reduces Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury Following Testicular Torsion/Detorsion in Rats21305746610.22034/ivsa.2017.97394.1128ENSaraJavanmardiDepartment of clinical sciences , faculty of veterinary medicine, university of Tabriz, Tabriz, IranMonirehKhordadmehrDepartment of Pathobiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tbriz, Tabriz, IranJournal Article20170904Objective-This study aimed to determine the protective effects of benidipine on testicular injury after testis torsion/detorsion in ratsDesign-Experimental study<br />Animals-Fifteen male Sprague-Dawly rats weighing 200-220g<br />Procedure-Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham (healthy group with sham operation, n=5), IRC group (control group in which I/R injury was performed by torsion the right testis 720 º clockwise for 2 hours and detorsion for 2 hours, n=5), and IRB group (IR + benidipine, I/R process was performed following orally benidipine administration + 4 mg/kg benidipine, n=5). Levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined in testicular tissues of rats. Testicular tissues were also examined histopathologically. <br />Results-The levels of MDA (P<0.0001) was significantly increased augmented in the testis of IRC group rat. Testicular GPx levels were significantly reduced (p<0.0001) after I/R. Administration of benidipine before torsion prevented the increase in lipid peroxidation and alleviated GPx levels.

A 3 mm diameter defect was created in the midsubstance of the medial M. gastrocnemius tendon in all rabbits. After 4 and 8 weeks, animals were euthanized (each time point, 2 rabbits of the each group) and samples were examined in term of histologic scoring with H & E and Masson's Trichrome.<br /><strong>Results- </strong>Histologic investigations confirmed that all 3 methods of treatment in Achilles tendon defect had suitable reparative effects. Final histologic scoring for control group at 4th week after operation was 4.5 in contrast to treatment groups (PRP =6, MSCs = 5.5 and MSCs + PRP= 8). Final histologic scoring in all 4 groups improved at 8th week after operation (control=6.5, PRP =9.5, MSCs = 8.5 and MSCs + PRP= 14.5).<br /><strong>Conclusion a</strong><strong>nd Clinical Relevance</strong>- This study indicated that using PRP or MSCs treatment alone and combination of them in injured tendon improved healing process and decreased time of repair. Reparative effect of PRP in tendon defect was better than use of allogenic MSCs treatment. However, the combination of them caused the best results.https://www.ivsajournals.com/article_58175_06a552b36816022643150a234e4eb23e.pdfIranian Veterinary Surgery Association (IVSA)Iranian Journal of Veterinary Surgery2008-303312220171201In Vivo Assessment of Anti-Tumor Activity of Methyl 2'-Methyl-1,3-dioxo-1,1',2',3,5',6',7',7a'-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3'-pyrrolizidine]-2' carboxylate (6) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a) Anthracene-Induced Mammary Tumors in Rat53625795010.22034/ivsa.2018.111321.1131ENLeilaZareiRazi Herbal Medicines Research Center, Lorestan University of medical Sciences, Khorramabad, Iran.MehriKouhkanDepartment of Medical Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, IranAliBolouriDepartment of Medical Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, IranRahimMohammadiDepartment of Surgery and Diagnostic Imaging, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Urmia University0000-0002-2104-9829Journal Article20171219Objective- Breast cancer is one of the most serious problems in oncology.
