    Efficacy and toxicity of doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide for the neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced stage canine mammary tumors

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect and toxicity of a doxorubicin cyclophosphamide combination for neoadjuvant use in dogs with locally advanced mammary tumors. A total of 16 dogs with locally advanced mammary tumors aged 8-14 years was used in this study. Samples were taken from all the dogs via Tru-Cut biopsy and fine needle aspiration biopsy of the lymph nodes prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The samples were sent to the pathology laboratory for histopathological examination. Based on the histopathology results, mammary tumors were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma (n=13), tubulopapillary carcinoma (n=2) and malignant mixed tumors (n=1). For the neoadjuvant chemotherapy, doxorubicin (25-30 mg/m(2)) and cyclophosphamide (100 mg/m(2)) were administered via slow IV injection 4 times at 3-week intervals. Clinical findings such as fever, vomiting, anorexia, lethargy, weight loss, alopecia, enteritis, hematuria, and skin ulceration and laboratory findings such as a decrease in neutropenia and hematocrit values were observed. Based on the longest diameter of the tumors before and after four weeks of chemotherapy, a complete response was detected in 2 dogs (12.5%), a partial response was observed in 9 dogs (56.25%) and the disease was stable in 5 dogs (31.25%). According to results, the toxicity, and efficacy of a doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide combination for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in dogs with locally advanced mammary tumors is acceptable, and the treatment is promising.

    Evaluation of serum analytes in pregnant and non-pregnant dairy cows as indicators of pregnancy
    (South African Journal Of Animal Sciences, 2020-01-01) Abbas, S.; Yousaf, M. S.; Ahmad, I; Rehman, H.; Mahmood, A. K.; Ashraf, S.; Blouch, R. S.; Shahzad, A. H.; Nak, Y.; Nak, Yavuz; NAK, YAVUZ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi; AAH-5494-2021
    This study was conducted to reveal the dynamics of haematological indicators in pregnant and nonpregnant dairy cows. Sixty multiparous healthy dairy cows were divided into four groups based on the length of time they had been pregnant, namely first, second and third trimesters, and non-pregnant (n=15 each). Blood was collected from each animal, and serum was harvested and stored at -20 degrees C for biochemical profiling. Concentrations of serum total oxidants (TOC), ceruloplasmin oxidase (CpO) and triiodothyronine (T-3) were higher (P <0.05) during the third trimester compared with non-pregnant cows. Serum arylesterase (Ary) concentration was lower (P <0.05) during the second and the third trimesters compared with the non-pregnant cows. The concentration of serum total homocysteine (tHcy) was higher (P <0.05) the third trimester compared with the first and the second trimesters. The concentrations of serum total antioxidants (TAC), paraoxonase 1 (PON1), thyroxine (T-4), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were not different in the pregnant and the non-pregnant cows. Thus, TOC, Ary, CpO, tHcy and T3 could be taken as biological markers to assess the progression of pregnancy and to develop management tools to improve health status during late gestation in dairy cows.

    Effect of embryo quality on pregnancy outcome in recipient cows and heifers
    (Hellenic Veterinary Medical Soc, 2020-04-01) Kara, Uğur; Çoban, S.; Say, Erkan; Hızlı, Hatice; Mutlu, H.; Sagırkaya, H.; Ayasan, T.; Coskun, M. A.; Asarkaya, A.; Erten, H.

    This study was performed to compare the effects of embryo quality on pregnancy outcome in recipient cows and heifers. Embryos obtained from 83 Holstein donors were used in the study. In order to synchronize the recipients, 500 mu g of cloprostenol were administered intramuscularly (i.m.), twice, at an interval of 11 days. In all recipients, one embryo was transferred to the upper 1/3 of the uterine horn ipsilateral to the ovary with the corpus luteum on the 7th day after oestrus onset (day 0). Each recipient received an i.m. injection of 5 mu g of buserelin at the time ofembryo transfer. Pregnancy examinations were performed by ultrasonography on the day 30th post-transfer. A total of 345 (262 grade 1, 64 grade 2 and 19 grade 3) fresh embryos were transferred to 171 recipient cows and 174 recipient heifers. The pregnancy rates of the recipient cows and heifers were 41.52% and 52.29%, respectively (p<0.05).The pregnancy rates achieved with first, second and third quality grade embryos were 45.16%, 25.0% and 12.5% in the cows (p<0.05), and 55.11%, 41.66% and 54.54% in the heifers (p>0.05), respectively. In conclusion, the pregnancy rates was significantly higher in heifers than in cows (p<0.05) and, the embryo quality had a significant impact on recipient pregnancy outcome (p<0.05). The effect of embryo quality on pregnancy was significant in cows (p<0.05), but not significant in heifers (p>0.05).
