Case report: Diagnosis and treatment of a chinchilla's old radius and ulna fracture.

The cortex of the limb bones of chinchillas is very thin and brittle, so it is prone to fractures of the limb bones, among which fractures of the tibia, radius and ulna are the most frequent types. When a chinchilla has a closed fracture, it can be immobilized with a splint, cast, or bandage. If the broken end of the fracture pierces the skin, it is best to choose internal fixation or external fixation brackets for treatment.

Hedyotis diffusa alleviate aflatoxin B1-induced liver injury in ducks by mediating Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), the most harmful aflatoxins, is a frequent contamination in feed and food items, raising global concerns in animal production and human public health. Also, AFB1 induces oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, mutations, and DNA lesions through its metabolic transformation into aflatoxin B1-8,9-epoxide (AFBO) by cytochrome P450 (CYP450). Hedyotis diffusa (HD) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine known for its multiple pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory.

Effects of Lactic Acid Bacteria Isolated from Equine on Salmonella-Infected Gut Mouse Model.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial potential of lactic acid bacteria (Weissella confuse, Pediococcus acidilactici, and Ligilactobacillus equi) isolated from healthy equine in Wuhan against Salmonella Typhimurium CVCC542-induced mice model on intestinal microflora. In previous studies, these isolated strains showed good probiotic potentials in vitro. In this study, fifty healthy mice were randomly divided into five groups, the blank control group, the control group, the Pediococcus acidilactici group (1 × 10 CFU/day), the Ligilactobacillus equi group (1 × 10 CFU/day), and the Weissella confuse group (1 × 10 CFU/day).

Probiotic potential of Lactobacillus isolated from horses and its therapeutic effect on DSS-induced colitis in mice.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a refractory disease that endangers both humans and animals. In recent times, Lactobacillus have been used to treat animal diseases. It may be a good choice to try to isolate Lactobacillus with probiotic potential to treat IBD.

Isolation and Evaluation of Probiotic Potential of Lactic Acid Strains From Healthy Equines for Potential Use in Salmonella Infection.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the probiotic properties, security and antibacterial ability in vivo of isolated strains from healthy equine. In the present study, two Pediococcus acidilactici (P1 and P2) and two Lactobacillus equi (L1 and L2) were isolated. All isolates were died when exposed to pH 2.

Antimicrobial Drug Resistance in Isolated From Edible Snakes With Pneumonia and Its Pathogenicity in Chickens.

The growing consumption of snakes in China has led to a boom in edible snakes farming. Food producing reptiles, such as snakes can carry many pathogenic microbes and potentially infect humans. Here, we report the occurrence of multi drug resistant strains isolated from edible snakes in China.

Recovery of chicken growth plate by TanshinoneⅡA through wnt/β-catenin pathway in thiram-induced Tibial Dyschondroplasia.

Tibial Dyschondroplasia (TD), a metabolic disease of fast growing poultry birds that effects the growth of bone and cartilage, is characterized by anorexia, mental depression and lameness. Wnt/β-catenin pathway can mediate the occurrence of TD, and previous study showed the therapeutic effect of TanshinoneⅡA to TD Broilers. However there is no report about the effect of TanshinoneⅡA treating TD broiler chicken through wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Probiotic potential of Weissella strains isolated from horse feces.

In this study, we isolated four Weissella confusa strains from the healthy horse feces to test their potential as equine probiotics. The identification and characteristics of these isolates were determined as per standard methods. Resistance and susceptibility of the isolated strains were tested to low pHs, different heat treatments, commonly used antibiotics and against the pathogenic strains of Salmonella, Pasteurella, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli.

Effect of Total Flavonoids of on Tibial Dyschondroplasia by Regulating BMP-2 and Runx2 Expression in Chickens.

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is an abnormality of the growth cartilage that occurs in chickens and other rapidly growing avian species. This disease not only cause huge economic losses, but also greatly affects animal welfare. The total flavonoids of (TFRD) has been used to cure wide variety of diseases including bone fractures and osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

Effect of tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (thiram) in relation to tibial dyschondroplasia in chickens.

Tetramethyl thiuram disulfide (thiram) is one of the important pesticides, which is extensively used in agriculture, but if it is combined with the cell membrane, then it causes membrane damage, bone morphogenic inactivation, and inhibited angiogenesis. Thiram has been considered a common cause of tibial dyschondrolplasia (TD) in various avian species, because it becomes the part of feed due to environmental contamination and its overuse in agriculture as pesticides or fungicide. However, there is no systematic study on the changes of the correlation indexes with toxic effect of the thiram in chickens.

Molecular Detection of Indigenous Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) from Tibetan Pigs in Tibet, China.

Hepatitis E is an important public health concern throughout the world. Many molecular and serological surveys have reported the prevalence and genotypic characteristics of HEV in humans and animals worldwide. However, the genotypic characterization of this virus is very limited in Tibetan pigs.

Role and regulation of growth plate vascularization during coupling with osteogenesis in tibial dyschondroplasia of chickens.

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is the most-prevalent leg disorder in fast-growing chickens; it is intractable and characterized by abnormal endochondral bone formation of proximal tibial growth-plates (TGPs). Previous studies have shown that bone is a highly vascularized tissue dependent on the coordinated coupling between angiogenesis and osteogenesis, but the underlying mechanisms of bone formation and bone remodeling are poorly defined in TD chickens. Here, we observed that inhibition of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis remarkably impaired vascular invasion in the hypertrophic chondrocyte zone of the TGPs, resulting in the massive death of chondrocytes due to a shortage of blood vessels and nutrients.
