The effects of dietary supplementation of selenium (Se), iodine (I), and a combination of both on the blood haematology, serum free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) hormones and glutathione peroxidase enzyme (GSH-Px) activity were examined on twenty four (7 to 8 months old, $22{\pm}1.17$ kg live weight) Kacang crossbred male goats. Animals were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (6 animals in each group). Throughout 100 d of feeding trial, the animals of control group (CON) received a basal diet, while the other three groups were offered basal diet supplemented with 0.6 mg/kg diet DM Se (SS), or 0.6 mg/kg diet DM I (PI), or a combination of both Se and I, each at 0.6 mg/kg diet DM (SSPI). The haematological attributes which are haemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), mean cell volume (MCV), white blood cells (WBC), band neutrophils (B Neut), segmented neutrophils (S Neut), lymphocytes (Lymph), monocytes (Mono), eosinophils (Eosin) and basophils (Baso) were similar among the four treatment groups, while serum levels of Se and I increased significantly (p<0.05) in the supplemented groups. The combined dietary supplementation of Se and I (SSPI) significantly increased serum FT3 in the supplemented animals. Serum GSH-Px activity increased significantly in the animals of SS and SSPI groups. It is concluded that the dietary supplementation of inorganic Se and I at a level of 0.6 mg/kg DM increased serum Se and I concentration, FT3 hormone and GSH-Px activity of Kacang crossbred male goats.

This study describes the cell type, ultrastructure and histochemical characteristics as a preliminary study for the research on integument of the smooth lumpsucker, Aptocyclus ventricosus in accordance with the physiological and environmental changes using light and electron microscopes. The SEM revealed the presence of well-developed finger printing structure in the skin surface. The skin surface of the smooth lumpsucker showed an irregular folds in cross section of light microscope. Integument is composed of outer epidermal and inner dermal layer. The epidermal layer is a stratified layer composed of epithelial cells, mucous cells, vacuolar cells, and granular cells. Epithelial cells are classified into superficial, intermediated, and basal cell. The superficial cells were the squamous with well-developed microridges on the free surface, and the microridges were covered with glycocalyx. The mucous cells of unicellular gland were mainly distributed in the apical layer of epidermis and contained mucosal materials of neutral glycoprotein. The vacuolar cells of unicellular gland were mainly distributed in the mid and basal layer of epidermis. The proportion of mucous cells and vacuolar cells were $7.0({\pm}1.07)%$ and $40.6({\pm}3.31)%$ of epidermal area, respectively. The granular cells contained membrane bounded secretory granules with high electron density and developed cell organelles in the cytoplasm. The dermal layer was loose connective tissue layer and composed of mainly collagen fibers. It also contained blood vessels and chromatophores of melanophores and reflecting platelets.

Background: Basal and squamous cell carcinoma (BCC and SCC) are the most common skin cancers worldwide and distinction between the two may sometimes be very difficult in routine histopathology. The present study was aimed to evaluate a reliable diagnostic method for these cancers based on immunohistochemistry (IHC). Materials and Methods: IHC was used with antibodies to Bcl-2, CD10, CEA, and EMA biomarkers, which despite non-specificity are easily available for detection of various types of tumors in pathology sections and can be used as a panel for differentiation. In this descriptive and analytic study, paraffin-embedded blocks of 29 SCC patients and 29 BCC patients were collected and sectioned for IHC staining. The results were analyzed by the STATA (version 8) statistical package using the Chi-square test. Results: BCC patients were 100%, 75.8%, 0% and 0% positive for Bcl-2, CD10, CEA and EMA markers, respectively, and for SCC patients were 3.5%, 0%, 34.5% and 82.7% positive, respectively. Using simultaneously Bcl-2 and CD10 as positive markers, detection of BCC with 88% accuracy and 100% specificity was possible, while application of CEA and EMA positivity could detect SCC with 67% accuracy and 100% specificity. Conclusions: SCC and BCC have different immunostaining profiles; therefore, Bcl-2, CD10, CEA and EMA markers can be helpful to distinguish between them.

Background: This investigation focused on possible relationships between skin cancers and ABO/Rh blood groups. Materials and Methods: Between January 2005 and December 2012, medical data of 255 patients with skin cancers who were admitted to Kayseri Training and Research Hospital, Radiation Oncology and Plastic Surgery Outpatient Clinics were retrospectively analyzed. Blood groups of these patients were recorded. The control group consisted of 25701 healthy volunteers who were admitted to Kayseri Training and Research Hospital, Blood Donation Center between January 2010 and December 2011. The distribution of the blood groups of the patients with skin cancers was compared to the distribution of ABO/Rh blood groups of healthy controls. The association of the histopathological subtypes of skin cancer with the blood groups was also investigated. Results: Of the patients, 50.2% had A type, 26.3% had O type, 16.1% had B type, and 7.5% had AB blood group with a positive Rh (+) in 77.3%. Of the controls, 44.3% had A type, 31.5% had 0 type, 16.1% had B type, and 8.1% had AB blood group with a positive Rh (+) in 87.8%. There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of blood groups and Rh factors (A Rh (-) and 0 Rh positive) between the patients and controls. A total of 36.8% and 20.4% of the patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) had A Rh (+) and B Rh (+), respectively, while 39.2% and 27.6% of the controls had A Rh (+) and B Rh (+), respectively. A significant relationship was observed between the patients with BCC and controls in terms of A Rh (-) (p=0.001). Conclusion: Our study results demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between non-melanoma skin cancer and ABO/Rh factors.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of trophoblastic vesicles (TV) and estradiol-17$\beta$ on the development in vitro of rabbit embryos. Thirty matured female rabbits were treated with PMSG followed by HCG injection and mating. Embryos were recovered with D-PBS (Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline) after superovulation, and normally developed to two-to four-cell embryos were used in the subsequent in vitro culture. Basal medium was Medium-199 su, pp.emented with 1.5% bovine serum albumin. Embryo on Day 5 after mating (Day 0) was cut into two or three pieces to remove the embryonic disc. Each piece of tissue was cultured for 24 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$ in 0.5 mlMedium-199 in 5% CO2. During culture, peices of trophoblastic tissue changed into spherical vesicles which were used for co-culture. These spheres were called trophoblstic vesicles. Two-to four-cell embryos were cultured for 4 days in Medium-199 in the absence or presence of trophoblastic vesicle, and two-to four-cell embryos cultured with varing concentration (0, 0.1, 1, 10ng/ml) of estradiol-17$\beta$ for 4 dyas. Culture vessels used were watch glass for coculture with trophoblastic vesicles and micortube for estradiol-17$\beta$ infusion. Compared with the Medium-199 alone as basal culture medium, more blastocysts (46.7% vs 15.1%; P<0.01) and morulae (84.4% vs 56.6%; P<0.05) were developed in the co-culture with trophoblastic vesicles. Estradiol-17$\beta$ infused in culture medium was not effective for embryo development to blastocysts (78.3% in control, 50.0% in 0.1ng/ml, 61.5% in 1ng/ml and 64.4% in 10ng/ml) and also to morulae (91.3% in control, 84.2% in 0.1ng/ml, 92.3% in 1ng/ml and 91.1% in 10ng/ml). Compared with the watch glass culture mehotd, more (P<0.01) blastocysts were developed in microtube culture (78.3% vs 56.6%) and more (P<0.01) morulae in microtube culture (91.3% vs 56.6%).

황화수소 산화반응에 이용할 수 있는 균주를 전남 화순 근교의 폐탄광수에서 분리하였다. 분리균주는 형태적, 생리학적 빛 화학합성 특정에 기준으로 보 면 Thiobacillus sp. IW.로 동정되어진다. 분리된 균주의 최적 배양온도는 $30^{\circ}C$였고, 최적 pH는 7이며, pH 3~pH 9 사이의 넓은 성장범위를 가지고 있었다. 액상배지에 축적된 sulfate 농도가 배지의 pH를 감소시켜 결국 균의 성장을 억제하는 작용을 하였다. 최대 비증식속도인$\mu_{max}=0.78^{-1}$이었고, 세대시 간은 0.9시간으로 나타났다. 분리균주는 질소원으로 potassium nitrate나 glutamic acid를 이용하였으나, urea나 ammonium chloride는 이용하지 못하였다. 기본배지에 첨가된 malate는 전혀 이용하지 못 하였고, Sodium thiosulfate를 에너지원으로 이용하 면 균체량은 $6.25mg/\ell.h$였으며, 대수성장기는 18 시간으로 나타났다. 이의 결과로 미루어 보아 분리 균주는 황화수소 등의 악취 제거에 유용한 균주로 사료되어 진다.

Many quaternary ammonium salts are incompletely absorbed after their oral administration and may also be actively secreted into the intestine. However, the underlying mechanism(s) that control the transport of these cations across the intestinal epithelium is not well understood. In this study, the mechanism of absorption of quaternary ammonium salts was investigated using Caco-2 cell monolayers, a human colon carcinoma cell line. Tributylmethylammonium (TBuMA) was used as a model quaternary ammonium salts. When TBuMA was administrated at a dose of 13.3 imole/kg via iv and oral routes, the AUC values were $783.7{\pm}43.6\;and\;249.1{\pm}28.0{\mu}mole\;min/L$ for iv and oral administration, indicating a lower oral bioavailability of TBuMA $(35.6\%)$. The apparent permeability across Caco-2 monolayers from the basal to the apical side was 1.3 times (p<0.05) greater than that from the apical to the basal side, indicating a net secretion of TBuMA in the intestine. This secretion appeared to be responsible for the low oral bioavailability of the compound, probably mediated by p-gp (p-glycoprotein) located in the apical membrane. In addition, the uptake of TBuMA by the apical membrane showed a $Na^+$ dependency. Thus, TBuMA appears to absorbed via a $Na^+$ dependent carrier and is then secreted via p-gp related carriers.
