This study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of vaccination of layer chickens with inactivated FC bacterin prepared from local Egyptian strains of Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida). A total of 200 layer chickens were divided into 5 equal groups, 40 for each. At the age of 6 weeks, chickens in groups (A) and (B) were vaccinated with P. multocida serotypes A:1 and A:3, respectively, booster doses were given after 3 weeks (9 weeks old) and challenge was done with virulent serotypes A:1 and A:3 at 2 weeks later (11 weeks old). Chickens in groups (C) and (D) were not vaccinated, only challenged with P. multocida serotype A:1 and A:3, respectively. Birds in group (E) were kept as non-vaccinated and non-challenged. Blood samples were collected weekly from all groups for humoral immune response. All the birds were kept under observation for signs, mortalities, lesions and re-isolation of challenging organism and for histopathological examination. Results of the mean Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) revealed that the highest level was at 5 weeks post vaccination as the titers reached to 3970 in group (A) and 3905 in group (B). The clinical signs, mortality rate and lesions were mild in the vaccinated birds while severe lesions were in non-vaccinated and challenged birds. The protection rates were 85 % and 80 % in groups (A) and (B); respectively, while 10 % and 20 % in groups (C) and (D); respectively. The re-isolation rates of P. multocida after challenge were 95 % and 90 % in non-vaccinated-challenged birds with P. multocida serotypes A:1 and A:3; respectively, while they were 25 % and 15 % in vaccinated-challenged groups with P. multocida serotypes A:1 and A:3; respectively. Histopathological examination of P. multocida vaccinated-challenged birds revealed mild to no microscopic lesions when compared with non-vaccinated challenged chickens. In conclusion, the prepared FC inactivated bacterin from the local Egyptian predominant P. multocida serovars proved efficacy and protection of layer chickens. Key words: Pasteurella multocida; chickens; immunization; protection; Egypt UČINKOVITOST CEPLJENJA KOKOŠI NESNIC Z INAKTIVIRANO BAKTERIJO KOLERE PERJADI, PRIPRAVLJENE IZ LOKALNIH EGIPTOVSKIH SEVOV BAKTERIJE Pasteurella multocida Povzetek: Raziskava je bila izvedena z namenom ocenitve učinkovitosti cepljenja kokoši nesnic z inaktivirano bakterijo FC, pripravljeno iz lokalnih egiptovskih sevov bakterije Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida). Skupno 200 kokoši nesnic je bilo razdeljenih v 5 enakih skupin. V vsaki skupini je bilo 40 kokoši. Pri 6 tednih smo kokoši v skupinah A in B cepili s serotipoma P. multocida A:1 in A:3, po 3 tednih, ko so bile živali stare 9 tednov, so dobile poživitvene doze cepiva. Po dveh tednih (v starosti 11 tednov) so bile kokoši okužene z virulentnima serotipoma A:1 in A:3. Piščanci v skupinah C in D niso bili cepljeni temveč samo okuženi s serotipoma A:1 in A:3. Kokoši v skupini E niso bile niti cepljene, niti okužene. Vzorci krvi so bili odvzeti pri vseh skupinah tedensko za preverjanje humoralnega imunskega odziva. Vse kokoši smo stalno opazovali in beležili prisotnost bolezenskih znakov, različnih ran in umiranje kokoši. Pri poginulih kokoših smo osamili bakterije ter opravili histopatološki pregled. Rezultati encimsko-imunskega testa (ELISA) so pokazali da je bila najvišja stopnja zaščite dosežena 5 tednov po cepljenju, saj so titri dosegli 3970 v skupini A in 3905 v skupini B. Klinični znaki, stopnja umrljivosti in rane so bili pri cepljenih kokoših blagi, hude rane pa so bile vidne pri necepljenih in okuženih kokoših. Stopnja zaščite je bila v skupinah A in B 85- oziroma 80-odstotna, v skupinah C in D pa 10- oziroma 20-odstotna. Stopnje ponovne izolacije P. multocida po okužbi so bile 90 in 95 odstotkov pri kokoših, ki niso bile cepljene, medtem, ko so bile v skupinah, ki so bile okužene s P. multocida serotipa A:1 in A:3 15- in 25-odstotkov. Histopatološki pregled cepljenih in okuženih kokoši je pokazal popolno odsotnost ali prisotnost blagih mikroskopskih poškodb, medtem ko so imele necepljene okužene kokoši bolj obsežne histopatološke poškodbe. Pripravljena inaktivirana bakterija FC iz lokalnih egiptovskih prevladujočih serovarov P. multocide se je izkazala za učinkovito zaščito kokoši nesnic.Ključne besede: Pasteurella multocida; kokoši; imunizacija; zaščita; Egipt

The present study was conducted to determine the immune response induced in indigenous chicken produced against BAU-FC and DLS-FC vaccines with their efficacy study against Pasteurella multocida. A total of forty (40) chickens were selected and divided into Group A (15), Group B (15) and Group C (10). Group A and B were vaccinated with BAU-FCV and DLS-FCV, respectively at the dose rate of 0.5 ml through SC at six weeks of age followed by boostering at 10 weeks of age while Group C was kept as unvaccinated control. Sera samples were collected after primary and booster vaccination and antibody titre was determined by Passive hemagglutination (PHA) test. The mean PHA titres recorded at 4 weeks after primary vaccination was 51.20 ± 7.84 in birds of group A and 38.40 ± 6.40 in birds of Group B. After booster vaccination, mean PHA titer was found 140.80 ± 31.35 at 16 weeks of age in case of BAU-FC vaccinated group and 115.20 ± 12.80 in case of DLS-FC vaccinated group. The mean PHA titer was 204.80 ± 31.35 and 179.20 ± 31.35 at 19 weeks of age in birds of BAU-FC and DLS-FC vaccinated group, respectively. Birds of all groups were challenged with virulent P. multocida at 17 weeks of age. It was observed that vaccinated chickens showed maximal resistance (100%) following challenge with virulent whereas unvaccinated control birds failed to resist the challenge infection. It can be assumed from the findings of present research work that both BAU-FCV and DLS-FCV are able to protect indigenous chicken from the outbreak of avian pasteurellosis and BAU-FV vaccine showed relatively higher immuno-protective titre than that of DLS-FC vaccine.Res.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the immune response induced in chickens by capsular extract of Pasteurella multocida isolated from rats wandering in and around the poultry farms. The rat isolate of P. multocida was isolated and identified by cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics, followed by capsular extract preparation and experimental vaccine development. The isolated P. multocida was found Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore forming rod occurring singly or pains and occasionally as chains or filaments in Gram’s-staining method. The isolates consistently produced acid from dextrose, sucrose and mannitol but not fermented maltose or lactose. The Capsular antigen was extracted and confirmed by acriflavine test. Finally, experimental fowl cholera vaccine was prepared. Primary vaccination was performed at the dose rate of 5.6×107 CFU/ml through intramuscular and subcutaneous routes in birds of group A (10 birds) and group B (10 birds) and group C (10 birds) were control birds. Secondary vaccination was similarly performed after 15 days of primary vaccination in groups A and B. The levels of pre-vaccination and post-vaccination sera were determined by passive haemagglutination test. The passive haemagglutination antibody titre was recorded on 15 and 35 days of post vaccination in groups A and B. It was demonstrated that experimental capsular extract fowl cholera vaccine conferred 100% protection (p<0.01) against challenge infection and found to be safe. It could be suggested that after thorough field trial, the experimentally prepared capsular extract FC vaccine using rat isolate of P. multocida may be used side by side with conventional FC vaccine.

Background: Duck cholera is an acute, fatal, septicemic disease of domestic ducks which is responsible for significant loss in duck population. The present study was conducted to compare the immunogenicity of two formalin killed fowl cholera vaccines (BAU-FCV and DLS-FCV) in indigenous ducks. Methods: The experimental ducks were divided into three groups (A=15, B=15 and C =10 ducks) of which birds of Group A and Group B were inoculated with 0.5 ml of BAU-FCV and DLS-FCV, respectively through subcutaneous route at the age of 10 weeks whereas ducks of group C were kept as unvaccinated control. Booster vaccination was done with same dose and route at 14 weeks of age. Challenge infection was conducted after 2 weeks of booster vaccination. Results: The mean PHA antibody titres on 15 days post vaccination (DPPV), 28 DPPV, 15 days postsecondary vaccination (DPSV), 28 DPSV and 15 days post challenge were 25.60 ± 3.92, 51.20 ± 7.84, 89.60 ± 15.68, 166.40 ± 38.40 and 204.80 ± 31.35, respectively in ducks of Group A whereas, the mean antibody titres in ducks of Group B were 25.60 ± 3.92, 44.80 ± 7.84, 64.00 ± 7.53,102.40 ± 15.68 and 179.20 ± 31.35 at 15 DPPV, 28 DPPV, 15 DPSV, 28 DPSV and 15 days after challenge, respectively. In this investigation, slightly higher immune responses were observed in ducks of Group A vaccinated with BAU-FCV compare to ducks of Group B vaccinated with DLS-FCV. Birds of both vaccinated groups conferred 100% protection against challenge infection with virulent Pasteurella multocida whereas, 100% mortality was observed in control ducks after challenge. Conclusion: Both vaccines were found to be safe and effective for the vaccination of indigenous ducks against duck cholera.

The research work was performed for the isolation and identification of Pasteurella multocida from field cases, preparation of oil adjuvanted vaccine from isolated strain and determination of its efficacy. Samples were collected from suspected dead birds of three poultry farms of Bangladesh (Code name: M and R). The P. multocida isolates were Gram negative, non-motile, non- spore forming rod occurring singly or pairs and occasionally as chains or filaments. Biochemically P. multocida ferment basic sugar and consistently produced acid except from maltose and lactose. After isolation formalin killed oil adjuvanted Fowl cholera vaccine was prepared in Laboratory of the Department of Microbiology and Hygiene, BAU and this experimental vaccine (3.2x108 CFU/ml) was administered in nine weeks old White Leg Horn chickens at the different dose rate through intramuscular (IM) route in each selected group A (1ml alum precipitated vaccine), B (0.5ml alum precipitated vaccine), C (1ml oil adjuvanted vaccine) and D (0.5ml oil adjuvanted vaccine). Pre-vaccinated sera were collected from all groups of birds. The mean of Passive Hemagglutination (PHA) titers of post-vaccination were 51±17.8, 76.8±17, 89.6±17, and 115±17.81 in group A, B, C and D respectively which consist of 5 birds in each. The vaccine produced better immune response when boostering with the similar dose and route at 15 days after primary vaccination. The mean PHA titers were higher at group D than other groups after boostering. Challenge infection was conducted on all the vaccinated and control group (n=5) of birds after 15 days of vaccination which protect 93.75% of birds and the PHA titers from different groups analyzed to determine the protective capacity of vaccinated chickens against challenge exposure. It was demonstrated that experimental oil adjuvanted fowl cholera vaccine with 0.5ml dose produce higher immune response against challenge infection and found to be safe.

This study compared the immunogenicity of alum-precipitated formalin-killed fowl cholera vaccines (BAU-FCV and LRI-FCV) in Jinding ducks. The ducks were divided into three groups (A = 14, B = 14, C = 12). Group A was inoculated with BAU- FCV 0.5 mL and group B with LRI- FCV 1.0 mL intramuscularly (im) at the age of six weeks and group C served as unvaccinated control. Booster vaccination was administered similarly at 11 weeks of age in groups A and B. Challenge infection was given to all birds two weeks after booster vaccination. Passive Haemagglutination Assay (PHA) antibody titres in group A were 59.4 ± 4.6 21 days after primary vaccination, 137.1 ± 21.8 15 days after booster vaccination, 100.6 ± 12.9 21 days after booster vaccination, and 256.0 ± 48.4 15 days after challenge. In group B, titres were 50.3 ± 6.5, 118.9 ± 9.1, 91.4 ± 12.9, 237.7 ± 51.7, respectively, whereas titres in group C remained at ?4.0 ± 0.0. The antibody titres were insignificant when compared between pre-vaccination and 21 days after primary vaccination in both vaccinated groups (A and B). PHA antibody titres of groups A were significantly (P < 0.0001) increased at 15 days after booster and in case of group B the antibody titres were insignificant. At 15 days after challenge the antibody titres were highly significant in both groups (A and B). There was no significant difference between the two vaccinated groups. Following challenge infection with virulent Pasteurella multocida 88.9% of birds vaccinated with BAU-FCV, and 77.8% of birds vaccinated with LRI-FCV survived, while all unvaccinated birds died. Both vaccines were safe and effective. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bvet.v30i2.18253 Bangl. vet. 2013. Vol. 30, No. 2, 41-45

An experiment was conducted to determine the effective dose of formalin killed (FK) fowl cholera (FC) vaccines prepared with virulent avian Pasteurella multocida (PM 38) serotype 1 (X-73) collected from the laboratory of the Department of Microbiology and Hygiene, BAU, Mymensingh. To determine the effective dose of vaccine, 7 weeks old 30 pigeons were immunized and each group consists of 5 birds. The groups are represented by A, B, C, D, E and F. The birds belonging to groups (A-E) were vaccinated with different doses of vaccine, after two weeks of first, second immunization and challenge experiment, blood was collected from all vaccinated birds, and serum was analyzed to determine antibody titer against P. multocida by passive hemagglutination test (PHA). The PHA titer after two weeks of first vaccination were 16±3.92, 17.6±3.92, 25.6±3.92, 32±8.76, 35.2±7.84 of group A,B,C,D and E, respectively at the dose of 0.2ml (0.26×108 CFU)/birds, 0.4ml (0.5×108 CFU)/birds, 0.8 ml (1.04×108 CFU)/birds, 1ml (1.3×108 CFU)/birds, respectively. The PHA titer of prevaccination and control birds was <4. The PHA titer after 2 weeks of second vaccination or boostering were 32±8.76, 35.2±7.84, 44.8±7.84, 57.6±18.66, 70.4±15.68, of group A,B,C,D and E, respectively. After 2 weeks of challenge infection, the mean PHA titer were 44.8±7.84, 51.2±7.84, 70.4±15.68, 102.4±15.68 and 140.8±31.34 of group A,B,C,D and E, respectively. In this experiment, the antibody titer of the vaccinated pigeons with 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1ml per bird via intramuscular route were higher than that of the pigeons vaccinated with 0.4ml/bird, 0.6ml/bird, 0.8ml/bird and 1ml/bird were satisfactory in terms of protective potential against P. multocida. For prevention and control of avian pasteurellosis 0.4ml to o.6ml (0.52×108 CFU to 0.78×108 CFU)/birds of vaccine may be used instead of 1ml (1.3×108 CFU)/birds for better immunization of pigeon against fowl cholera infection.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate a concomitant orthotic treatment for coexisting scoliosis and pectus deformities. No detailed study on such concomitancy was found in literature. METHODS: A spine bending brace for use day and night, and dynamic chest compressor orthoses for use four hours a day, along with one hour of exercises, were prescribed. From 638 adolescents, 25 met the inclusion criteria for a retrospective study. Two groups of patients were identified: A (15 compliant patients) and B (10 non-compliant patients). The mean follow-up was 27 months for group A and 21 months for group B. Pre and post- treatment clinical signs of scoliosis and pectus were photographically compared. The scoliosis had radiologic evaluation by Cobb angle and Nash-Moe classification for vertebral rotation. RESULTS: For both conditions, scoliosis and pectus deformities, the outcome was significantly better in the compliant group (p<0.001 for both). One highly compliant adolescent with a 52º scoliosis and pectus carinatum, showed a surprising improvement to 27º after 40 months of treatment, when chest braces were interrupted and the weaning from the spine brace has started. A 34º scoliosis was maintained after 60 months of follow-up, with vertebral rotation improvement. CONCLUSION: The concomitant orthotic treatment yielded preliminary positive results for compliant patients, warranting investigation continuity.

The immunogenic response and protection of duck with capsular extract of local isolate of duck cholera organism, i.e. Pasteurella multocida was compared with that of conventional fowl cholera vaccine prepared in Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Feces, liver, heart, lungs, trachea and intestinal swabs were collected from a total of 50 sick and apparently healthy ducks. The duck cholera organisms were isolated and characterized by their cultural, physiochemical, staining properties and laboratory animals and also duck and ducklings inoculation. Capsular antigen was prepared from this isolate. Twelve weeks aged ducks of Jinding breeds were divided into three groups such as A, B and C. Each duck of group A was inoculated with 1 ml of capsular antigen containing 200 µl capsular protein and 1 ml of Bangladesh Agricultural University fowl cholera vaccine in group B intramuscularly followed by second vaccination with same vaccine with similar dose and route at 15 days interval in group A and B respectively. Ducks of group C were kept as control. Sera samples of each of the ducks of all the three groups were collected at 7 and 14 days post-vaccination following each of the primary and secondary vaccination. Each of the serum samples of all the three groups of birds was titrated by using passive hemagglutination (PHA) test and results recorded that both the capsular extract (96.00 ± 45.25) and fowl cholera vaccine (108 ± 89.37) produced more or less similar serological response at two weeks after secondary vaccination. Protection test was performed with all birds of three groups after 21 days of secondary vaccination and the results showed that ducks of both group A and B conferred 100% protection.

Background: Frozen shoulder is disorder of the connective tissue that limits the normal Range of motion of the shoulder in diabetes, frozen shoulder is thought to be caused by changes to the collagen in the shoulder joint as a result of long term Hypoglycemia. Mobilization is a therapeutic movement of the joint. The goal is to restore normal joint motion and rhythm. The use of mobilization with movement for peripheral joints was developed by mulligan. This technique combines a sustained application of manual technique “gliding” force to the joint with concurrent physiologic motion of joint, either actively or passively. This study aims to find out the effects of mobilization with movement and end range mobilization in frozen shoulder in Type I diabetics. Materials and Methods: 30 subjects both male and female, suffering with shoulder pain and clinically diagnosed with frozen shoulder was recruited for the study and divided into two groups with 15 patients each based on convenient sampling method. Group A patients received mobilization with movement and Group B patients received end range mobilization for three weeks. The outcome measurements were SPADI, Functional hand to back scale, abduction range of motion using goniometer and VAS. Results: The mean values of all parameters showed significant differences in group A as compared to group B in terms of decreased pain, increased abduction range and other outcome measures. Conclusion: Based on the results it has been concluded that treating the type 1 diabetic patient with frozen shoulder, mobilization with movement exercise shows better results than end range mobilization in reducing pain and increase functional activities and mobility in frozen shoulder.

Pathological changes in the prostate gland occur commonly with advancing age including inflammation, atrophy, hyperplasia and carcinoma and a change in volume is also evident. Estimation of volume of prostate may be useful in a variety of clinical settings. A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed to see the changes in volume of the prostate with advancing age and done in the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from August 2006 to June 2007. The study was performed on 70 post-mortem human prostates collected from the unclaimed dead bodies that were under examination in the Department of Forensic Medicine, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka. The samples were divided into three age groups; group A (10-20 years), group B (21-40 years) and group C (41-70 years). Volume of the sample was measured by using the ellipsoid formula. The mean ± SD volume of prostate was 7.68 ± 3.64 cm3 in group A, 10.61 ± 3.99 cm3 in group B and 15.40 ± 6.31 cm3 in group C. Mean difference in volume between group A and group C, group B and group C were statistically significant (p<0.001). Statistically significant positive correlation was found between age and volume of prostate (r = + 0.579, p < 0.001). Key Words: Prostate; volume; Bangladeshi. DOI: 10.3329/imcj.v4i2.6501Ibrahim Med.
