Background: Bacterial skin infections are common in dogs and humans. Keratinocytes have phenotypic features of nonprofessional antigen-presenting cells and express various cytokines. However, little is known about the effects of antibiotics on inflammatory markers in canine keratinocytes.
Hypothesis/objectives: To investigate inflammatory markers in canine progenitor epidermal keratinocytes (CPEKs) and to determine the effects of selected antibiotics on these markers.
Methods: The CPEKs were exposed for 2-24 h to three concentrations of amoxicillin, cefalexin, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethoxazole (or its nitroso metabolite), amikacin or enrofloxacin. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunocytochemistry were used to detect major histocompatibility complex (MHC) II. CD40 and CXCR1 [interleukin (IL)-8 receptor] were detected using ELISA. Secreted cytokines/chemokines were quantified using a multiplex kit.
Results: No MHC II protein was detected. CD40 protein was found at 24 h, with levels being significantly increased by enrofloxacin. The CPEKs secreted no detectable monocyte chemotactic protein-1; undetectable to low (picogram per millilitre range) concentrations of IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, IL-15, tumour necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; and high (nanogram per millilitre range) concentrations of IL-8. Levels of IL-8 increased over 24 h following cell proliferation. They were significantly increased by enrofloxacin after 8 h, and by cefalexin, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethoxazole, its nitroso metabolite and enrofloxacin after 24 h. The CPEKs expressed CXCR1.
Conclusions And Clinical Importance: Canine progenitor epidermal keratinocytes express various inflammatory proteins, with expression profiles being affected by certain antibiotics. This supports previous work showing keratinocytes to be mediators of inflammation and demonstrates the potential pro-inflammatory effects of certain antibiotics in the skin.

Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy to establish neural relays in situ for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Recent research has reported short-term survival of exogenous cells, irrespective of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD), results in similar function recovery, though the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to validate this short-term repair effect and the potential mechanisms in large animals.

In recent years, the importance of using local disinfectants instead of systemic antibiotics for the treatment of infectious skin diseases to prevent the emergence of resistant bacteria has become widely recognized. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is commonly used in veterinary antibacterial shampoos; however, the daily topical application of diluted CHG solutions has also been adopted. Despite its widespread use, few studies have investigated the effects of CHG on the canine skin barrier.

Introduction: Exploring techniques for differentiating and culturing canine hepatocytes serves as a means to establish systems for liver transplantation and drug metabolism testing. However, establishing consistent methods for culturing stable hepatocytes remains a challenge. Recently, several investigations have shown the reprogramming of mature hepatocytes into hepatic progenitor cells by applying specific small molecule compounds, including Y-27632, (a ROCK inhibitor), A-83-01 (a TGFβ inhibitor), and CHIR99021 (a GSK3 inhibitor) (termed YAC) in rat, mouse, and humans, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic epilepsy (IE) is a chronic neurological disorder affecting Labradoodles, with a specific focus on characterization including age of onset, seizure frequency, and impact on quality of life for both dog and owner.
- An online survey involving Labradoodle owners revealed that 33 out of 40 dogs either had IE or were suspected of having it, with an average age of onset at 2.3 years and an average seizure frequency of 5.4 seizures per year; stress was the most common trigger for seizures.
- Despite some dogs experiencing severe forms of epilepsy, such as cluster seizures and status epilepticus, a majority managed well with minimal treatment, reflecting high quality of life scores for both the dogs

Bone defects in animals can arise from various causes, including diseases, neoplasms, and most commonly, trauma. Comminuted fractures that exceed the critical size may heal poorly due to deficient or interrupted vascularization, resulting in an insufficient number of progenitor cells necessary for bone regeneration. In this context, 3D printing techniques using poly-L-lactic acid/graphene oxide (PLLA/GO) aim to address this issue by creating customized scaffolds combined with canine placenta hydrogel and mesenchymal stem cells for use in goat mandibles, compared to a control group using titanium plate fixation.
