Abstract: This study was designed to investigate the effect of the X-ray in the cardiovascular system of adult male albino rats. Ten adult male rats were randomly divided into groups 5/group control group while the treated group was exposed to 300KV/2M daily for 1 month. The histological section of the heart of the treated group showed damage to muscle fiber, mild damage in the intercalated disc & congestion with inflammatory cell infiltration, compared with the control group. In contrast, a histological section of the large artery showed thickening in the endothelium with adhered damaged cells &foamy cells found in the subendothelial layer, in conclusion, exposure to the x-ray caused tissue damage in the heart and large artery.
Abstract: This study was conducted to examine the ameliorative Impact of (Silymarin) on Monosodium Glutamate Toxicity. Twenty-eight local male rabbits aged between 3-4 months were divided randomly into four equal groups (7 rabbits of each) housed in experimental cages of the animal house. The animals in first group were fed basal diet as control group (C), second group (T1) was fed basal diet and supplied Monosodium glutamate (10 mg/100g of BW) orally, third group (T2) was supplied with water containing Monosodium glutamate (10 mg/100 g of BW) and Silymarin(0.6 mg/100 g of BW) orally and fourth group (T3) was supplied containing Monosodium glutamate (10 mg/100 g of BW) dissolved in water and Silymarin(1.2 mg/100 g of BW) orally. The results showed that, Hemoglobin concentration was increased with time progress in (T3) group , but the treated MSG groups recorded significant (P< 0.05) lower values than the control group along must studied period. lymphocyte percentage in the T1 and T2 groups showed significant (P< 0.05) higher value than other groups, Monocyte percentage showed that T3 group significantly (P< 0.05) reduction in cholesterol concentration in all time of this study compared with other groups. While T3 group showed significant (P< 0.05) higher than other groups in all time of this study. Triglyceride concentration in T1 group showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher values than control group at 63 days. The concentration of Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) of rabbits in T1 group (MSG) showed significant (P≤ 0.05) higher value compared with other groups in 63 day period, While showed significantly (P≤0.05) lower value of C , T3 groups compared with the T1, T2 groups in all time of this study. The concentration of Aspartate transaminase enzyme (AST) showed significant increases (P≤0.05) in T1 group (MSG) at all time of the study compared with the other groups .While T3 was recorded significant (P≤0.05) lower value compared with other groups in last stage of the study period. Creatinin concentration in T2 group showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher value than the other groups at the 63 days studied period. In conclusion, it was conducted that there were toxic effects of MSG on male rabbits through increase the damage in the liver and Kidney and oxidative stress through elevation in ALT, AST enzymes, creatinine and cholesterol. Also, with adding Silymarin daily in a dose of (1.2mg/100g BW) showed ameliorative Impact of (Silymarin) on Monosodium Glutamate Toxicity.
Abstract: Study Bovine mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most common disease of dairy cattle causing economic losses due to reduced yield and poor quality of milk. The etiological agents include a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and can be either contagious (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Mycoplasma spp.) or environmental (e.g., Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Streptococcus uberis). Improving sanitation such as enhanced milking hygiene, implementation of post-milking teat disinfection, maintenance of milking machines are general measures to prevent new cases of mastitis, but treatment of active mastitis infection is dependant mainly on antibiotics. However, the extensive use of antibiotics increased concerns about emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens and that led the dairy industries to reduce the use of antibiotics. Therefore, alternative therapies for prevention and treatment of bovine mastitis, particularly natural products from plants and animals, have been sought. This review provides an overview of bovine mastitis in the aspects of risk factors, control and treatments, and emerging therapeutic alternatives in the control of bovine mastitis.
Abstract: this study about normal blood parameters carried on 60 cross breed Iraqi cows in Kerbela – Al-Hindia from two to ten years of age , clinical appreantly health state . the aim of study was to evaluate normal hematological parametes and estimate of some body hormone (Thyroxine , Triiodothyronine & Progesterone ) in cross Iraqi breeds cows in Kerbela – Al-Hindia . 10ml blood samples were collected from each cow to measure of the following parameters: red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin concentration (Hb), hematocrit (PCV), average volume of red blood cells in the blood (MCV) and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and total number of leukocytes (WBC). Also estemation some hormones values: thyroxin(T4),Triiodothyrronine(T3), progesteone.the leukocytes are show increase in value .the erythrocytes,PCV,Hb, lower and MCV,MCH,MCHC in normal range.Thyroid Hormones:thyroxine(T4),triiodothyronine(T3) normal, Progesterone was in normal level in local Iraqi cows in Kerbela – Al-Hindia.
