Summary: This study evaluated the relative efficacy of allopurinol and febuxostat, two important anti-gout agents, in controlling hyperuricemia/gout using a poultry model. The results showed that both allopurinol and febuxostat have definite potential for ameliorating hyperuricemia and gout in poultry, with febuxostat showing better effects compared to allopurinol.

Summary: This study investigates the regulation of miR-33-5p gene expression during MG infection. The researchers found an upregulation in pri-miR-33-5p and pre-miR-33-5p expression, indicating transcriptional regulation. They identified a binding motif for STAT5 in the miR-33-5p promoter element and showed that STAT5 modulates miR-33-5p transcription in response to MG infection. The overexpression of STAT5 led to increased miR-33-5p expression while suppressing JNK1 expression.

Summary: The PCR-RFLP molecular assay was verified as a convenient technique for detecting the MS-H vaccine strain, and the immune response mechanisms in vaccinated layer-type chickens were characterized. Vaccination stimulated immune response mechanisms in chickens with no significant difference between single and double doses.

Summary: Chicken in southern Thailand has different prevalence and resistance patterns of Campylobacter. Commercial broilers exhibit higher resistance to quinolones and lower resistance to macrolides and tetracycline compared to native chickens. Resistance patterns are more consistent within farms, and commercial broilers show higher homogeneity. Phenotypic and genotypic resistance have partial agreement among isolates.

Summary: This report describes an outbreak of Salmonella Pullorum (SP) in a Dutch laying flock, causing increased mortality, decreased egg production, and neurological signs. SP was frequently isolated from various organs, and immunostaining showed cerebral granulomas in birds with neurological signs. Vaccination did not affect the detection of SP antibodies. Some clinically healthy birds had ovarian lesions associated with SP contact, but carrier status could not be confirmed. Phylogenetic analysis showed clonality of the SP isolates within the outbreak.

Summary: This study characterized the cultivation of pregonadal PGCs from Japanese quail embryos and found that the presence of specific embryonic cells as a feeder is necessary for successful cultivation. Once a co-culture system is established, the PGCs can be propagated for at least 5 months and can express germ cell-specific markers.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluates the postnatal growth, hematology, telomere length, and semen attributes of multiple clones and re-clone derived from superior buffalo breeding bulls. The findings show that the cloned bulls demonstrate normal growth, blood characteristics, telomere length, and semen quality, comparable to non-cloned bulls.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of E2 treatment on Nelore heifers on day 15 of the estrous cycle, finding that E2 promoted an increase in PGFM concentrations and accelerated functional and structural luteolysis by upregulating the expression of PGR and OXTR. This suggests that within 3 hours after E2 stimulus, the expression of these receptors is associated with triggering luteolysis in cattle.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of phospholipase C (PLC) on the capacitation of cryopreserved ovine semen. The results showed that the inhibitor U73122 can prevent premature capacitation and acrosome reaction induced by the freezing procedure, without affecting the kinetics and integrity of the sperm membranes.

Summary: An understanding of the normal bacterial microbiota of any organ is important to study the changes that may occur due to different conditions or interventions. This study aimed to investigate the bacterial microbiota of the mare vagina and its changes throughout the estrous cycle. The results showed that there was an increase in bacterial diversity during the estrous cycle, with the highest diversity observed on day 14.

Summary: The DM9-containing protein CgDM9CP-7 plays an important role in the innate immune response of molluscs. It is constitutively expressed in various tissues and is up-regulated in haemocytes after stimulation by Vibrio splendidus and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). CgDM9CP-7 binds to various pathogens and exhibits antimicrobial activity, while also regulating the expression of CgMyD88 and CgIL-17.

Summary: The stress response has a significant impact on the central nervous system and other systems in the body, contributing to chronic mental and behavioral pathologies as well as increasing the risk for other chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases. Psychiatric treatments play a role in alleviating fear, stress, and anxiety and improving the quality of life and lifespan for dogs and cats. The availability of safe psychoactive medications allows for effective treatment options in veterinary patients. Clinicians should have a good understanding of the role neurotransmitters and hormones play in emotional processing, cognition, and behavior, as well as the mechanism of action of drugs to ensure appropriate medication selection for each individual patient.

Summary: This study analyzed the parasites of anoles and found that they may serve as hosts for many parasites of public and veterinary health significance. Through histological and molecular evaluation, the presence of different parasites was identified, and phylogenetic analysis revealed genetic relationships between parasites from different geographic areas and hosts.
