Changes in blood, plasma and brain cholinesterase activities in Trypanosoma evansi-infected cats were investigated. Seven animals were infected with 10(8) trypomastigote forms each and six were used as control. Animals were monitored for 56 days by examining daily blood smears. Blood samples were collected at days 28 and 56 post-inoculation to determine the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in blood and the activity of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in plasma. AChE was also evaluated in total brain. The activity of AChE in blood and brain, and the activity of BChE in plasma significantly reduced in the infected cats. Therefore, the infection by T. evansi influenced cholinesterases of felines indicating changes in the responses of the cholinergic system. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Chemical hypermethioninemia in young mice: oxidative damage and reduction of antioxidant enzyme activity in brain, kidney, and liver

Bernardo de Moraes Meine, Thais Scolari Franceschi, Natalia Pontes Bona, Luiza Spohr, Nathalia Stark Pedra, Roselia Maria Spanevello, Mayara Sandrielly Soares de Aguiar, Francieli Moro Stefanello

Summary: This study investigated the effects of chronic administration of methionine and its metabolite methionine sulfoxide on oxidative damage in the brain, liver, and kidney of young mice. The results showed that these substances increased reactive oxygen species and lipoperoxidation levels, while reducing antioxidant enzyme activities. Furthermore, they also affected the liver and kidney functions. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of hypermethioninemia.

Thiazolidin-4-one prevents against memory deficits, increase in phosphorylated tau protein, oxidative damage and cholinergic dysfunction in Alzheimer disease model: Comparison with donepezil drug

Alessandra dos Santos, Fernanda Cardoso Teixeira, Daniel Schuch da Silva, Tayna Amaral Veleda, Julia Eisenhart de Mello, Karina Pereira Luduvico, Rejane Giacomelli Tavares, Francieli Moro Stefanello, Wilson Cunico, Roselia Maria Spanevello

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by memory decline and limited treatment options. Thiazolidin-4-one, a compound with multiple beneficial effects, was evaluated for its potential therapeutic effects in an AD model induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Treatment with DS12, a thiazolidin-4-one compound, improved memory and prevented neurochemical changes induced by STZ. DS12 also protected against oxidative damage in the brain without causing toxic effects.

Summary: Adult Wistar rats were exposed to lanthanum oxide nanoparticles (La(2)O(3)NPs) at different doses. Histological analysis revealed that higher doses of La2O3-NPs caused hepatic lesions in rats. However, the La2O3-NPs did not affect body weight, organ weight, and blood serum parameters. Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) were found in the kidneys of rats treated with high dose of La2O3-NPs. Lanthanum was detected in organs but not in the blood.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of caffeic acid (CA) on learning and memory tasks in diabetic rats. The researchers also assessed the impact of CA on the activities of specific enzymes and the density of certain receptors and inflammatory parameters in the cortex and hippocampus of diabetic rats. The results showed that CA improved learning and memory deficits, normalized enzyme activities, and modulated receptor density in the diabetic animals, suggesting its potential for treating cognitive deficits associated with the cholinergic and purinergic signaling pathways in diabetes.

Summary: The ubiquitous free-living amoebae (FLA) are microorganisms of significant medical, sanitary, and ecological importance. However, their characterization within solid matrices such as soil, dust, sediment, mud, sludge, and compost remain to be systematized. In this study, a systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted to explore the global distribution of FLA in solid matrices. The analysis of 104 out of 4,414 scientific articles revealed that FLA prevalence in solid matrices was 55.13% globally. Soil had the highest prevalence (72.40%), followed by sediment (57.91%), mud (52.90%), dust (48.60%), and sewage sludge (40.19%). Acanthamoeba spp. (52.23%) and Hartmanella/Vermamoeba spp. (36.06%) were the most prevalent FLA species.

Blood concentrations of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium and dietary cation-anion difference in dairy cows

J. H. Silva, L. V. Q. Contreras, C. F. Ponath, C. Bondan, M. C. Machado, F. Gonzalez

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of pre and postpartum DCAD on serum calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels in peripartum Holstein cows. Blood samples were collected from 56 cows (18 primiparous and 38 multiparous) on different days relative to parturition to analyze mineral levels, while diet and urine samples were also collected. Prepartum DCAD showed a positive correlation with total and corrected calcium levels at day-7, and a negative correlation with magnesium levels at day-7. However, prepartum DCAD did not significantly affect phosphorus levels. Postpartum DCAD did not have any correlation with serum mineral levels. The study highlights the importance of considering parity and time period when evaluating mineral levels in Holstein cows during the transition period.

Summary: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated inflammatory response to infection. Purinergic signaling, mediated by purines such as ATP and adenosine, plays a crucial role in the immune and inflammatory responses during sepsis. Sepsis disrupts the balance of ATP and adenosine levels, leading to dysregulation of immune responses. The measurement of serum levels and activities of purinergic pathway markers may serve as potential biomarkers for sepsis diagnosis and treatment.

Summary: This study evaluates the antimicrobial activity of three 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives against Pythium insidiosum and determines their pharmacodynamic characteristics. Results show that Clioquinol, PH151, and PH153 are active against all isolates, with MIC values ranging from 0.25 to 2 μg/mL. They also exhibit a time- and dose-dependent antimicrobial effect, damaging the P. insidiosum cell wall. These findings reinforce the potential of 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives as new drugs for treating pythiosis.

Lucas Petitemberte de Souza, William Borges Domingues, Eduardo Bierhals Blodorn, Leandro da Silva Nunes, Hadassa Gabriela Ortiz, Eliza Rossi Komninou, Vinicius Farias Campos

Summary: This study performed a systematic review of the differential expression of sperm microRNAs in bulls related to fertility. A total of 182 unique differentially expressed miRNAs were identified, among which 49 miRNAs were found in common between at least two studies. The results suggest that miRNAs such as miR-10a, -10b, -103, -15b, -122, -125b, -126-5p, -151-5p, -193a-5p, -196a, -27a-5p, and -99b may serve as potential universal biomarkers for assessing the reproductive potential of males.

Prevalence and risk factors for hair loss in outdoor-wintered beef cattle under cold weather conditions

Wonhee Cha, Katinca Fungbrant, Giulio Grandi, Ylva Persson

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence and development of hair loss in outdoor cattle in Sweden. It found a relatively high hair loss rate, with the occurrence of hair loss increasing over time during winters, suggesting a contagious etiology. The study also identified preventative delousing before November, keeping animals clean, and maintaining small group sizes as effective measures to reduce the risk of hair loss, while older age and access to bedding materials increased the risk.

Summary: In this study, the pharmacokinetic behavior of Eprinomectin was studied in two different goat breeds. The results showed no significant differences in plasma concentration between the breeds, but the clearance from the body may vary. High concentration of Eprinomectin in feces is beneficial against gastrointestinal parasites but poses an ecotoxicological risk to the environment.
