A neural cell automated analysis system based on pathological specimens in a gerbil brain ischemia model

Acta cir. bras; 39 (), 2024
Purpose: Amid rising health awareness, natural products which has milder effects than medical drugs are becoming popular. However, only few systems can quantitatively assess their impact on living organisms. Therefore, we developed a deep-learning system to automate the counting of cells in a gerbil mode...

Impact of daily administration of blackberry extract on gerbil model of transient cerebral ischemia

Acta cir. bras; 39 (), 2024
Purpose: Blackberries are rich in polyphenols and are a human health food continuously consumed to improve health and reduce diseases caused by aging. Herein, we evaluated the effects of daily blackberry administration before and after transient cerebral ischemia in gerbils. Methods: Blackberry extract (...

Neospora caninum DNA distribution in tissues of gerbils as experimental models of chronic neosporosis

Neospora caninum is the main etiologic agent of neosporosis in domestic animals and its pathogenesis comprises two characteristic phases: acute and chronic. Rodents are used as experimental models to mimic acute and chronic bovine neosporosis. In this study, we inoculated a total of 27 female gerbils, wi...

Preconditioning with L-Ala-Gln reduces the expression of inflammatory markers (TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-6 and HO-1) in an injury animal model of cerebrovascular ischemia in Meriones unguiculatus (gerbils)

Acta cir. bras; 35 (6), 2020
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of L-alanyl-glutamine in a gerbil model of brain ischemia-reperfusion injury based on immunohistochemical quantification of pro-inflammatory and cell activation biomarkers (TNF-α, NF-κB, IL-6 and HO-1). Methods Male gerbils weighing 10...

Oxyurid nematodes of pet rodents in Slovakia - a neglected zoonotic threat

Abstract The role of rodents as reservoirs of helminths of public health importance is not well known. The zoonotic potential of Syphacia spp. has been confirmed; therefore, the study aimed to estimate the occurrence of oxyurid nematodes in small rodents from pet shops and breeding clubs in Slovakia. Fec...

Characterization of Lactobacillus fermentum UCO-979C, a probiotic strain with a potent anti-Helicobacter pylori activity

Background: Helicobacter pylori is considered as the main risk factor in the development of gastric cancer. In the present study, we performed a detailed characterization of the probiotic properties and the anti-H. pylori activity of a previously isolated lactobacillus strain — Lactobacillus fermentum ...

Anthelmintic activity of Cymbopogon citratus against Haemonchus contortus

Parasitic nematodes are of major economic importance in livestock. An alternative for the control of parasites is phytotherapy. This study evaluated the efficacy of Cymbopogon citratus decoction (CcD), C. citratus essential oil (CcEo) and citral against Haemonchus contortus using in vitro egg hatch test ...

Clinical and Histochemical Alterations of the Periodontal Ligament in Gerbils after Malocclusion Induced

Int. j. morphol; 25 (4), 2007
The aim of this article is to show the clinical and histochemical alterations of the first periodontal ligament, on the right side, after upper molars teeth extraction on the left side in gerbils. After two months, the periodontal ligaments were removed and processed for histochemical analysis. The data ...

Morphology of the submandibular gland of the gerbil meriones unguiculatus: a macroscopic and light microscopy study

Rev. chil. anat; 19 (1), 2001
La morfología de la glándula submandibulardel gerbil fue estudiada macro y microscópicamente. Diez gerbiles fueron anestesiados, perfundidos e inyectados con formalina al 10 por ciento. La región cervical anterior de cada animal fue disecada para efectuar el análisis macroscópico de la glándula su...
