Abstract

Ovariohysterectomy (OVH) is commonly used in the gonadectomy protocol of dogs and cats in Indonesia. Recent reports have shown that ovariectomy (OVE) is more preferred in the US and many European countries. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate both OVE and OVH. A total of 26 cats were used, while OVH (11 cats) and OVE (15 cats) were conducted with standardized anesthetic and surgical protocols. Physical characteristics of cats, surgical variables, pain scores derived from behavior-based composite pain scales, surgical wound characteristics, and postoperative complications were analyzed. The results showed that skin and fascia incision lengths relative to the distance from the sternal manubrium to pubic rim were significantly greater in cats subjected to OVH (p < 0.05), compared to those of cats in OVE. However, the total surgical time was not significantly different for the two procedures. Significant differences were detected between the two groups during the evaluation period of pain scores in 24 hours (p < 0.001), with the best results recorded in OVE groups. The OVH groups showed more swelling and erythema than those in OVE (p < 0.001), and all wound complications resolved by 10 to 14 days postoperatively. A subsequent evaluation of postoperative serum progesterone concentrations, conducted after an eight-week period, showed that the mean concentrations remained consistent, suggesting the presence of extra-gonadal progesterone production. A follow up evaluation up to 16 weeks after the surgical intervention showed no substantial complications. In conclusion, OVE was not associated with any post-gonadectomy complications and could be a superior alternative to OVH.

Abstract

This study represents the final phase of a preclinical investigation assessing the outcomes of bare-metal stent (INA-Stent) implantation in the iliac arteries of Macaca nemestrina. The aim of the study was to evaluate the condition of the stent and to determine the presence or absence of restenosis and inflammation in the surrounding tissue. The INA-Stent was implanted in four healthy adult M. nemestrina. The animals were euthanized at 6- and 9-month intervals to enable clinical and histological evaluation of the implanted stents. This study specifically reports the terminal preclinical evaluation of the final M. nemestrina, in which the stent had been implanted for 36 months. The assessment was conducted to identify clinical signs and to determine the condition of the stent following surgical implantation in the iliac artery. The procedures included clinical evaluation, anesthesia, catheterization, intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT), followed by euthanasia, necropsy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on the SEM and OCT findings, the INA-Stent was well integrated into the arterial wall, did not induce chronic inflammation, and showed no evidence of restenosis at 36 months post-implantation.

Abstract

Pig farming in Bali plays a critical role from a One Health perspective, as zoonotic cases originating from pigs have been documented, including human infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus suis. Furthermore, farmers in affected areas often administer medications, including amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin, without adhering to appropriate dosages, treatment durations, or disease-specific indications. Considering the complexity of this issue, the identification of β-hemolytic Gram-positive bacteria isolated from traditional pig farms in Bali is warranted to address public health concerns. This study began with the cultivation of eight bacterial isolates obtained from the tonsils and nasal cavities of pigs on blood agar media. Subsequent analyses included Gram staining and catalase, oxidase, and salt tolerance testing. Molecular identification was performed through 16S rRNA gene analysis. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method. The results indicated that all eight isolates were Gram-positive and exhibited β-hemolysis. Molecular identification revealed that six isolates were Enterococcus faecalis, one isolate was classified as Staphylococcus spp., and one isolate as E. casseliflavus. Antibiotic susceptibility testing demonstrated that all isolates remained sensitive to amoxicillin, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin. Nevertheless, the prudent use of antibiotics remains essential to prevent zoonotic transmission and the development of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and lethal disease of pigs for which no effective vaccine is currently available. This study evaluated the pathogenicity of field African swine fever virus (ASFV) isolates from Bali and East Nusa Tenggara and assessed their potential for inactivated vaccine development using spleen-derived antigens. Based on the qPCR results, among all ASFV isolates tested, only the Bali isolate, designated B1, exhibited the highest DNA concentration, suggesting that this sample contained the highest ASFV titer. Consequently, the B1 isolate was selected and processed into chemically treated (CT-ASFV) and non-treated (NCT-ASFV) formulations. In the pathogenesis trials, pigs inoculated with NCT-ASFV developed acute ASF and died within 12 days, whereas those receiving CT-ASFV exhibited no clinical signs of ASF and showed no evidence of viral replication. In the vaccination trial, pigs immunized with CT-ASFV emulsified in Montanide™ ISA 50 V2 demonstrated survival in two out of three animals (67%) following challenge with a virulent strain, while all control animals succumbed to infection. Despite the absence of detectable humoral responses as determined by ELISA, the observed protection suggests a potential role for cell-mediated immunity. These findings indicate that the B1 isolate was highly virulent and represents a promising candidate for the development of an inactivated ASF vaccine. Further evaluation in larger-scale field trials is warranted.

Abstract

Knee joints are the primary sites affected by osteoarthritis (OA) in humans and animals. Although intra-articular human umbilical cord–derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) show therapeutic promise, their combined use with hyaluronic acid (HA) remains underexplored in large animals. This study evaluated morphological and proteomic changes in a sheep osteoarthritis model treated with both agents. A total of twelve sheep were divided into four groups (n = 3 per group): control (normal and OA) and three treatment groups receiving hUC-MSCs, HA, or a combination of HA and hUC-MSCs (HA + hUC-MSCs). OA was induced by meniscectomy, and intra-articular injections were administered four weeks post-surgery. Macroscopic scoring was conducted according to the Osteoarthritis Research Society International system, while histological evaluation was performed using hematoxylin–eosin, Safranin O, and Masson’s trichrome staining. Proteomic analysis of synovial fluid was carried out using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The macroscopic OA score in the HA + hUC-MSC group was lower than in the other treatment groups and was not significantly different from the normal group (p > 0.05). Microscopic observations indicated that hUC-MSCs supported joint cartilage regeneration by preserving proteoglycan and collagen content. Proteomic profiling revealed that treatment with HA + hUC-MSCs modulated proteins associated with complement activation and coagulation pathways. The combination of HA and hUC-MSCs provided synergistic benefits for cartilage regeneration in a sheep OA model during a short treatment period. These findings suggest that this approach represents a promising regenerative therapy for OA in large animals within veterinary medicine and has translational relevance for human regenerative medicine.

Abstract

The global rise in myopia, particularly among children and young adults, has stimulated increasing interest in environmental and light-based preventive strategies. This study investigated the protective effects of ultraviolet-A (UV-A) light exposure on myopia progression in a form-deprivation model and explored its potential mechanism via dopaminergic retinal signaling. In this experimental study, form-deprivation myopia (FDM) was induced in rabbits, which were randomly assigned to either a control group (n = 7) or a UV-A–treated group (375 nm, 12 h/day for 5 days; n = 6). Axial length, refraction, and ocular surface safety (Schirmer’s test and clinical observations) were evaluated before and after treatment. Retinal tissues were analyzed for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and dopamine receptors (D₁R and D₂R). Axial elongation was assessed within and between groups. UV-A–treated eyes demonstrated a shorter axial length and a greater hyperopic shift compared with controls (17.72 ± 0.14 mm vs. 23.12 ± 2.34 mm, p = 0.001; +4.58 ± 0.66 D vs. +2.64 ± 1.41 D, p = 0.001). Schirmer’s test revealed no significant differences (p = 0.40). TH and D₂R expression levels were significantly higher in the UV-A group (p = 0.013 and p = 0.009, respectively). Limitations of the study include the short experimental duration, small sample size, and the absence of a UV dose–response analysis. Overall, UV-A light exposure showed potential in inhibiting ocular axial elongation and reversing myopic shifts in a form-deprivation model, possibly through activation of retinal dopaminergic pathways, highlighting UV-A as a promising light-based intervention for myopia control.

Abstract

This epidemiological investigation conducted in three regencies of West Sumatra, Indonesia, aimed to examine the molecular prevalence and distribution of Babesia bigemina, Babesia bovis, and Theileria orientalis. A cross-sectional study employing a convenience sampling technique included 151 cattle blood samples. These samples were collected from three regencies (Agam, Limapuluh Kota, and Tanah Datar) between January 2023 and February 2024. Blood samples were examined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with sequencing, targeting the cytochrome b gene for B. bigemina and B. bovis, and the 18S rRNA gene for Theileria spp. A total of 151 cattle blood samples from West Sumatra were examined for hemoprotozoan infections using both microscopic and molecular approaches. Based on blood smear examination, 23 (15.2%) and 118 (78.1%) samples were positive for Babesia spp. and Theileria spp., respectively. Subsequent nested PCR analysis confirmed all Babesia-positive samples as B. bigemina, while B. bovis was not detected. In contrast, 131 (86.7%) samples were molecularly identified as T. orientalis. Phylogenetic analysis of the cytochrome b gene revealed three distinct clades of B. bigemina, indicating genetic diversity likely shaped by geographical distribution, vector ecology, or host adaptation. These findings demonstrate that T. orientalis is the predominant hemoprotozoan agent in West Sumatra, while the genetic variability of B. bigemina underscores the complexity of its epidemiology. Together, these results provide critical insights for improving surveillance and guiding the formulation of effective hemoparasite management strategies in the tropical Indonesian archipelago.

Abstract

Flight crews frequently experience intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH), which may trigger oxidative stress and vascular remodeling in the pulmonary arteries. This study investigated the effects of IHH exposure on oxidative stress markers, tunica media thickness, and the expression of LR11 and HIF-1α proteins in rat pulmonary arteries using five groups of healthy male Sprague–Dawley rats (n = 5 per group). Twenty-five male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into five groups: a control group and four treatment groups exposed to simulated altitudes of 25,000 ft (7,620 m) for 5 minutes per day over 1, 3, 7, or 14 days. Levels of HIF-1α and LR11 were measured using ELISA, oxidative stress markers such as γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were analyzed spectrophotometrically, and tunica media thickness was assessed histologically. HIF-1α levels peaked after acute hypoxia exposure and declined with prolonged exposure, whereas LR11 levels progressively increased, peaking in the 14-day group. MDA levels, reflecting oxidative stress, were highest after 3 days of exposure, while GSH levels decreased in all hypoxia groups compared with the control. Histological analysis showed the greatest tunica media thickness in the 3-day exposure group, followed by gradual reductions. Although no statistically significant correlations were found between protein levels and tunica media thickness, similar directional trends suggest biologically relevant associations. Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) induces dynamic changes in oxidative stress and vascular remodeling in rat pulmonary arteries. Acute hypoxia increases HIF-1α expression and oxidative stress, whereas repeated exposures appear to trigger compensatory adaptations, including LR11 upregulation and tunica media remodeling. These findings demonstrate measurable molecular and structural alterations underlying pulmonary vascular responses to repeated high-altitude exposure.

Abstract

The post-weaning period is one of the most critical stages in piglet development, often associated with metabolic disorders that negatively affect weight gain and product quality. To support gastrointestinal microbiocenosis, transient spore-forming bacteria of the genus Bacillus are commonly used as probiotics. In this study, 20 clinically healthy Large White piglets, aged 28 days and recently weaned, received an orally administered spore probiotic mixed into their feed for three weeks. Fecal samples were collected before and after treatment, and microbial community composition was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Paired statistical tests assessed alpha-diversity (paired Wilcoxon) and beta-diversity (Bray–Curtis, PERMANOVA). Following supplementation, median reductions in the relative abundance of the phyla Bacillota, Bacteroidota, and Pseudomonadota were approximately 3–5%, while several low-abundance phyla (e.g., Actinobacteriota, Verrucomicrobiota, Fibrobacteriota) increased by about 1–2%. The spore probiotic decreased dominant microbiota proportions while enhancing less common but beneficial taxa, maintaining stable diversity and contributing to improved metabolism and microbial balance in the piglets’ intestines. Its antagonistic properties also help protect piglets from infections and inhibit pathogenic bacterial development.

Abstract

Supplementation of ruminant diets with yeast hydrolysate (YH) can enhance feed efficiency and reduce manure gas emissions without causing adverse physiological effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with commercial YH on muscle growth, physiological responses, and fecal gas emissions in Hanwoo beef steers over a six-month feeding period. Thirty Hanwoo steers (7–8 months old; average body weight: 250 kg) were randomly allocated to three treatment groups (n = 10 per group; 5 steers per pen) and fed total mixed ration (TMR) diets supplemented with 0%, 0.1%, or 0.3% YH. Statistically, YH supplementation did not significantly affect growth performance parameters, including total weight gain, feed intake, average daily gain, and feed efficiency, nor did it alter blood characteristics or fecal noxious gas content. However, all measured values remained within normal physiological ranges, and steers receiving 0.1% YH showed numerically higher final body weight and weight gain compared to the other groups. Although not statistically significant, plasma insulin and dopamine concentrations tended to increase with YH supplementation. Notably, the concentrations of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and mercaptans in manure were significantly reduced (p < 0.05) in YH-supplemented groups relative to the control. These findings suggest that dietary inclusion of 0.1% YH may enhance growth performance, mitigate harmful gas emissions, and maintain the health status of Hanwoo steers.
