AbstractIntroductionThe study aimed to observe TNF-α serum concentration as well as changes in respiration rate, body temperature, and pulse rate in burn victims during 84 h post burn.Material and MethodsA total of 30 healthy pigs were divided into two groups: A, the test group and N, the control group. The experimental group suffered burns to 30% of the body surface, and after infliction of the burns both groups were closely monitored.ResultsThe biggest increase in TNF-α serum concentration in the test subjects occurred around the 6th h of the study, and the second biggest increase took place between 12th and 36th h. In the 36th h, TNF-α was 2.5 times more concentrated in serum in the test group than in the control group. In the test group, the biggest increase in respiration rate occurred up to the 6th h post burn, on average up to 29/min. In the 12th h post burn, the mean pulse rate in the test group was 133/min and dropped to the lowest value in the 72nd h of the experiment. A gradual increase in body temperature up to 41.72°C was observed up to the 30th h post burn and decreased to a significant value of 40.74°C by the 84th h of the study.ConclusionIn a period of a pronounced rise in TNF-α serum concentration, this parameter, pulse rate, and respiration rate are highly correlated and are also influenced by multiple inflammation forming factors.

Fever occurs due to the release of pyrogytes from within leukocytes that have previously been stimulated by exogenous pyrogens that may originate from microorganisms or are a result of immunologic reactions that are not based on an infection. Meanwhile, many countries have developed treatments using herbs. One of the efforts done is with the use of traditional medicine. This study aims to prove that the leaves of the Dragon Scales (Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.) M.G Price) with concentrations of 0.062%, 0.125% and 0.25% have antipyretic activity using Pepton fever induction 5%. This research is an experimental research with Completely Random Design (RAL). Rectal temperature measurements of mice using infra red thermometer. Test animals were divided into 5 groups: negative control group (1% Na-CMC suspension), positive control group (paracetamol suspension) and the test group were 0.062%, 0.125% and 0.25%. The data obtained were analyzed using anova test and LSD (Least Significant Different) test. The results of this study showed that the extract of leaf scales (Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.) M.G Price) concentrations of 0.25% had antipyretic activity in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) male wistar strain. Keywords: Antipyretics, Leaf Scales Dragon (Pyrrosia piloselloides (L.)

The purpose of the research is studying therapeutic properties of Butakur against spontaneous bovine theileriosis.Materials and methods. Butakur was used on the Yalgin Farm and at the Umarov Agricultural Enterprise in the Karabudakhkentskiy District to treat 30 animals in the early stage of the disease at a body temperature of 40.4–41.7 0C and a parasitic reaction of 30.2%. Piroplasmids were differentiated by microscopy of smears, imprints of lymph nodes and peripheral blood, and by detected purple bodies and parasites in them, excluding mixed infection. Two groups of animals were formed on the principle of analogs. In the test group (n = 15), Butakur was used as a specific therapy at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg for the active substance at a rate of 1 ml/20 kg of body weight, and the antimalarial drug Delagil (chloroquine) was used in the control group at a dose of 15 mg/kg within 4–5 days. A different combination of chemotherapy drugs with symptom-directed and pathogenetic drugs was used simultaneously.Results and discussion. Butakur was the most effective when used in the early period of the disease development from the moment the body temperature rose and until a slight parasitemia in erythrocytes was observed with the simultaneous use of symptom-directed and pathogenetic drugs. Out of 15 animals that received Butakur at a dose of 1 ml/20 kg (2.5 mg/kg for the active substance), 13 animals recovered, and the efficacy was 86.6%.

Abstract Moringa oleifera (MO) is a widely used as the nutritious and non-traditional feed supplementation containing kinds of bioactive substances. However, the enhancement effect of Moringa oleifera leaf Polysaccharide (MOLP) as a feed additive in broilers growth performance and immunity remains unclear. In this study, MOLP was obtained by water extraction and alcohol precipitation method, then purified with Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) assay. Chickens were randomly divided into 4 groups, to receive different doses of MOLP (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4g/kg) in feed for 3 weeks. The body weight gain (BWG) and feed consumption were recorded for feed conversion ratio (FCR) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) calculation. Broiler chickens were sacrificed and sampled on day 14, 21, 28 (D 14, D 21, and D 28) respectively. Serological indicators, including total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLO), and creatinine (CREA) were detected. ELISA kits were applied for detecting the levels of immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin G (IgG), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). From D 21 to D 28, the results showed that middle dose of MOLP significantly increased BWG and ADFI as well as liver and bursa indexes when compared with the control group. In addition, TP and GLO were also increased (P<0.05). All MOLP treatments enhanced the serum concentrations of IgG and IL-2 (P<0.01). Furthermore, results of quantitative RT-PCR showed that high dose of MOLP treatment significantly increased (P<0.001) the mRNA expression levels of IL-2 and TNF-α of chickens relative to the control group. In conclusion, the results showed that MOLP supplementation contributed to improve growth performance and immune response in broiler chickens, and MOLP could be considered as a promising feed additive.

High blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and obesity are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. With regard to the significant role of a healthy diet in the prevention and even treatment of diseases together with the high cost and side effects of drugs, finding foods effective in the treatment of metabolic disorders has been widely considered. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of oxymel – an Iranian traditional syrup with vinegar base – on cardiovascular risk indicators in obese and overweight people. Candidates were selected based on a set of inclusion criteria and were divided into two groups of control and test. The control group received 250 cc of water, while the test group received 250 cc water containing 30 cc of the oxymel for 30 days. Anthropometric and biochemical indicators were measured at the beginning and end of the study. The results showed that there were no significant changes in the body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist to hip ratio, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and blood glucose level. However, weight (P = 0.053) and cholesterol (P = 0.083) decreased relatively significantly in the test group compared to the control group. This study shows that consumption of oxymel has positive cardiovascular effects such as lowering the blood cholesterol level and can contribute to weight loss; however, studies with a larger sample size are recommended.

Abstract BackgroundTo explore the clinical characteristics of patients with severe heat stroke, we explored the early sensitive indicators of heat stroke (HS) patients, with a view to early intervention for HS patients. MethodsFrom July 30, 2015 to October 5, 2020, 70 inpatients with severe heat stroke admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Jiangsu Province were selected as the research objects. The general information and clinical test indicators of the patients were recorded, and all patients were assessed for acute physiology (APACH Ⅱ) upon admission. According to the severity of heatstroke, they were divided into three groups: control group (heat cramps and heat exhaustion), EHS, and CHS to compare the differences in indicators of each group. Further draw the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results1. According to the severity of heat stroke, 28 cases were divided into the control group, 24 cases in the EHS group, and 18 cases in the CHS group. The body temperature of the EHS group and the CHS group was significantly higher than that of the control group (both P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the body temperature of the EHS group and the CHS group; the DD, PCT, and APACH of the EHS group were significantly higher than those of the control group and the CHS group (both P＜0.05); PLT, CRP, Na, GLU of EHS group were lower than those of control group and CHS group (all P＜0.05), and the decrease of PLT was more significant; CHS group HbA1C was significantly higher than that of control group and EHS group (all P <0.05). 2. ROC curve analysis the areas under the curves of DD, PCT, and PLT are 0.670, 0.705, 0.791, respectively, the sensitivity is 40.48%, 100%, 73.81%, and the specificity is 96.43%, 32.14%, 78.57%, respectively. Using the combined analysis of the three series tests, the area under the curve was 0.838, the sensitivity was 71.43%, and the specificity was 85.71%. ConclusionsEHS patients have higher DD, PCT, APACH, but PLT, CRP, Na, and blood sugar are lower. At the same time, the significant decrease of PLT and the increase of PCT and DD may be early sensitive indicators of HS. The combined detection of the three can be used as a reference basis for early diagnosis of HS and critical illness.

  Objectives: In addition to the rise in obesity prevalence globally, morbidity due to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is increasing. Primary modalities for preventing and managing this problem include dietary modification and improved physical activities. A daily diet with a low n-6:n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio is suspected to contribute to ameliorating liver steatosis (LS). The present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of an n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio of 2:1 in alleviating LS.Methods: Twenty-four young obese women with LS were recruited from Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. They were randomly allocated to an intervention or control group. Both groups were given linoleic acid:α-linolenic acid at ratios of 2035:970 and 240:100 g, respectively, for 12 weeks. Baseline and end-line data were obtained. All patients were advised to maintain their daily energy intake no more than 1500 kcal and to perform structured physical exercises once a week.Results: The intervention significantly decreased the body fat (body mass index, p=0.040; triglyceride, p=0.008) and serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels (p=0.002) and increased serum interleukin-10 (IL-10) levels (p=0.004). The severity of LS was reduced through the intervention (odds ratio=0.064; 95% confidence interval=0.013-0.310; p=0.001).Conclusion: An increased intake of 2:1 n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio alleviated LS, decreased body fat composition and serum TNF-α levels, and increased serum IL-10 levels.

Abstract Heat stress continues to be a challenge for feedlot producers, forcing physiological adaptations in beef cattle that can have a negative impact on gain and carcass quality. Feedlots may want to incorporate systems that aid in mitigating heat stress, including sprinkler systems, which are commonly found on dairies. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of sprinkler systems on the body temperature of growing feedlot steers applied at three different temperature thresholds. Thirty-two Angus-cross beef steers (298 ± 15 SD days of age) were randomly assigned to 8 pens. Treatments were assigned to pens according to location to avoid drainage issues, with one replicate located on the eastern side of the feedlot and the other replicate located on the western side. Treatments including no sprinklers (C), high temperature threshold sprinklers (HT), moderate temperature threshold sprinklers (MT) or low temperature threshold sprinklers (LT). Sprinklers (flow rate: 5.11 L/min) were activated at 33°C (HT), 28°C (MT), and 23°C (LT) for five minutes at corresponding temperatures every thirty minutes for 57 days. Rectal temperature of steers in their pens was measured in the morning (0800 h), afternoon (1500 h), and evening (1900 h) three days each week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for a total of 19 experimental days. Weather measurements, including ambient temperature, windspeed, humidity and solar radiation were recorded at each measurement time along with the maximum values for each day. The change in body temperature (ΔBT) between the morning and afternoon was affected by ambient temperature (P &lt; 0.01); MT (P = 0.02) and LT (P = 0.02) – different than C. There was no significant difference between sprinkler treatments and the control group (P &gt; 0.05). Day affected (ΔBT) between the morning and afternoon (P &lt; 0.05) and the afternoon and evening (P &lt; 0.05). When averaged by day, the control group was significantly higher than MT (P = 0.04) between the morning and afternoon. The control group was also significantly higher than LT between the morning and afternoon (P = 0.03) and the afternoon and evening (P &lt; 0.01). The change in steer body temperature between afternoon and morning was affected by ambient temperature, and averaged across days, lowering the temperature threshold for sprinkling decreased in the afternoon and evening body temperature increase in steers.
