  • Growth pathways in feline oral squamous cell carcinoma

    Creator:
    Harris, Krystal, L.
    Abstract:
    Background Bcl11b, previously CTIP2, is a zinc finger nuclear transcription factor involved in the development of keratinocytes, teeth, T lymphocytes, and nervous tissue. Expression of Bcl11b has been reported in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and increased expression correlates with poorly differentiated tumors. This study aimed to...

    AL Sabbagh, Tariq Ashour
    Abstract:
    Environmental contamination along roadways with lead from processed petroleum and automotive residues has been reported. Toxicity to the herbivores grazing these areas has not been well studied. Comparison of lead concentrations adjacent to roads in Kuwait and in Oregon, USA was studied. Soil samples were taken from three sites at...

  • Dietary (n-3) and (n-6) fatty acids and vitamin E : their effects on the immune response of healthy geriatric Beagle dogs

    Creator:
    Tooley, Katie A.
    Abstract:
    We have previously shown that diets enriched with (n-3) fatty acids reduced the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) skin reaction to keyhole limpet haemocyanin (KLH) in geriatric-Beagles. Although the amount of α-tocopheryl acetate in diets of the previous study exceeded requirements, plasma α-tocopherol concentration was significantly lower in dogs fed the high...

  • Non-specific innate immunity against Escherichia coli infection in white leghorn chickens

    Creator:
    Huang, Hsuan-Jen
    Abstract:
    This research was initiated to investigate a high mortality problem occurring in market age broiler chickens in Oregon. Initial field investigations revealed that mortality was due to the systemic bacterial infections. The subsequent laboratory experiments suggested that suppressed short-term, non-specific innate immunity rather than pathogenic properties of bacteria caused the...

  • Anatomy of the osseous external acoustic meatus, middle ear and surrounding soft tissue in llamas (Lama glama)

    Creator:
    Concha-Albornoz, Ismael
    Abstract:
    Llamas (Lama glama) appear to have predisposing anatomical features for developing otitis media such as a long and narrow external acoustic meatus and a trabecular tympanic bulla. However, there is limited information available about the morphology of the ear in this species. The aim of this study was to evaluate...

  • A molecular and morphologic study of idiopathic fetlock hyperextension and suspensory apparatus breakdown in the llama

    Creator:
    Reed, Shannon Kelly
    Abstract:
    Suspensory apparatus breakdown and hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal (fetlock) joints is a common condition in the llama and has been observed in llamas of all ages. Llama breeders refer to the condition as "down in the pasterns" or "down in the fetlocks." The condition can result in debilitating...
