Polat U  Cetin M  Turkyilmaz O  Yalcin A 《The Onderstepoort journal of veterinary research》2004,71(1):77-79

The aim of this study was to determine for reference purposes the values of serum albumin, alpha 1-globulin, alpha 2-globulin, beta-globulin, gamma-globulin, and alpha-lipoprotein (high density lipoprotein), pre-beta-lipoprotein (very low density lipoprotein) and beta-lipoprotein (low density lipoprotein) fractions of normal ostriches (Struthio camelus) in Turkey. Five male and five female ostriches, 18 months old, were used. All the ostriches were fed on a diet that contained 15.14% crude protein and 2,950 Kcal/kg of metabolizable energy. The serum protein and lipoprotein fractions were measured using agarose gel electrophoresis. The fractions were found to be 60.96% albumin, 0.24% alpha 1-globulin, 15.91% alpha 2-globulin, 13.34% beta-globulin, 9.55% gamma-globulin, 53.77% HDL, 0.60% VLDL and 48.09% LDL.  相似文献   

Removal of Remazol Red Rb by using Al (III) as Coagulant-Flocculant: Effect of Some Variables on Settling Velocity     

Gürses  Ahmet  Yalçin  Mehmet  Dogar  Cetin 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2003,146(1-4):297-318

This study addresses the research of the removal of a textile dye from aqueous solutions by using aluminum ions as coagulant-flocculant. A simulated textile wastewater was prepared from Remazol Red RB textile dye. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of temperature, pH, and concentrations of the cationic surfactant and electrolyte concentration on the settling velocity ofthe simulated textile wastewater. While investigating these factors, levels of variables were determined by considering the characteristicsof traditional textile wastewater like pH, temperature, and dye concentration. Although traditional coagulation-flocculation processesmake use of different aluminium salts as coagulant-flocculent, in this study, Al ions dissolved in pH and temperature of traditional textilewastewater were used. Furthermore, sludge volume index values (SVI) were determined and conductivity measurements carried out. The resultsshowed that, in the working range of these variables, the spectroscopic color measurement revealed 100% decolorization yieldof wastewater. In conclusion, researchers found that the optimum settling velocity conditions were as follows: low temperature (273K),surfactant concentration of 0.10 g L^-1, electrolyte concentration of 0.10 g L^-1, dye concentration of 0.025 g L^-1 and a pH of 10.05. Finally, by conducting experiments twice under the obtained optimum values, mean settling velocity was 0.014 m min^-1 and the mean sludge volume index 140 mL g^-1.  相似文献   

Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of subconjunctival injection of clindamycin in the treatment of naturally occurring infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis     

Senturk S  Cetin C  Temizel M  Ozel E 《Veterinary ophthalmology》2007,10(3):186-189

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical efficacy of subconjunctival injection of clindamycin in the treatment of naturally occurring infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (IBK). ANIMALS STUDIED: Clinically, out of 81 animals examined, 46 were found to be suffering from IBK of variable severity. The ocular secretions were collected and cultured for Moraxella bovis. The study included 36 Holstein cattle from which M. Bovis was isolated. These animals ranged between 4 and 28 months of age. PROCEDURES: The severity of the clinical findings were scored as normal, mild, moderate, and severe. Clindamycin was injected subconjunctivally at a total dose of 150 mg (1 mL), once daily for 3 days to the test group (n = 18); isotonic saline solution (1 mL) was administered to the control group. After treatment, all cattle were re-examined and clinical response was evaluated on days 3, 7 and 15 post-treatment. RESULTS: Compared with the control group and prior to treatment, all active lesions such as blepharospasm, epiphora, photophobia, chemosis, corneal edema, and corneal ulceration were generally resolved by day 15 after subconjunctival injection of clindamycin. Severity of IBK lesions increased on days 3 and 7, compared to baseline in the control group administered isotonic saline solution. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that subconjunctival injection of clindamycin is effective in the treatment of naturally occurring infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis.  相似文献   

Chlorpyrifos induces cardiac dysfunction in rabbits     

Cetin N  Cetin E  Eraslan G  Bilgili A 《Research in veterinary science》2007,82(3):405-408

This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of organophosphate (OP) insecticide chlorpyrifos on cardiac morphology and function in rabbits using echocardiography. Twenty New Zealand male rabbits were divided equally into four groups. Rabbits were exposed to chlorpyrifos in drinking water at concentrations of 0, 125, 250 or 375 ppm for 90 days. The comparison among the groups indicated that 375 ppm chlorpyrifos resulted in significant decrease (p<0.05) in heart rate (HR), cardiac output (CO), left ventricular fractional shortening (FS), left ventricular ejection fraction (EF), percentage thickening of left ventricle posterior wall (PWT), and significant increase (p<0.05) in left atrial diameter (LA), left ventricular internal diameter in end diastole (LVIDD), left ventricular end diastolic (EDV) and end systolic volumes (ESV) compared to those of the control group. These results showed that chlorpyrifos induces cardiac dysfunction in rabbits.  相似文献   

Effects of juniper essential oil on growth performance,some rumen protozoa,rumen fermentation and antioxidant blood enzyme parameters of growing Saanen kids          下载免费PDF全文

D. Yesilbag  H. Biricik  I. Cetin  C. Kara  Y. Meral  S. S. Cengiz  A. Orman  D. Udum 《Journal of animal physiology and animal nutrition》2017,101(5):e67-e76

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of juniper essential oil on the growth performance, rumen fermentation parameters, rumen protozoa population, blood antioxidant enzyme parameters and faecal content in growing Saanen kids. Thirty‐six male Saanen kids (36 ± 14 days of age) were used in the study. Each group consisted of 9 kids. The control group (G1) was fed with a diet that consisted of the above concentrated feed and oat hay, whereas the experimental groups consumed the same diet but with the concentrated feed uniformly sprayed with juniper essential oil 0.4 ml/kg (G2), 0.8 ml/kg (G3) or 2 ml/kg (G4). There were no differences (p > 0.05) in live weight, live weight gain or feed consumption between the control and experimental groups. There was a significant improvement (p < 0.05) in feed efficiency in the G3 group. There were no differences in the rumen pH, rumen volatile fatty acid (VFA) profile or faecal pH of the control and experimental groups. The rumen NH₃N values were similar at the middle and end of the experiment, but at the start of the experiment, the rumen NH₃N values differed between the control and experimental groups (p < 0.05). The faecal score value was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in the experimental groups. The addition of juniper essential oil supplementation to the rations caused significant effects on the kids’ antioxidant blood parameters. Although the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and catalase values were significantly (p < 0.05) increased in the experimental groups (G2, G3 and G4), especially group G4, the blood glutathione peroxidase (GPX) value significantly decreased in the experimental groups. The results of this study suggest that supplementation of juniper oil is more effective on antioxidant parameters than on performance parameters and may be used as a natural antioxidant product.  相似文献   

Detection of Salmonella spp. in stray dogs in Bursa Province, Turkey: first isolation of Salmonella Corvallis from dogs     

Kocabiyik AL  Cetin C  Dedicova D 《Journal of veterinary medicine. B, Infectious diseases and veterinary public health》2006,53(4):194-196

The prevalence and antimicrobial sensitivity of Salmonella spp. in stray dogs in Bursa province, Turkey were determined from a total of 82 faecal samples by bacteriological methods. Of the dogs, nine (11%) were positive for salmonellae-carrying. All Salmonella isolates were serotyped as S. Corvallis, and were sensitive to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, enrofloxacin, gentamicin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, neomycin, oxytetracycline and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole, while 66.7% of them were resistant to streptomycin. It was concluded that stray dogs could be an important carrier of salmonellae as well as a source of human salmonellosis in Turkey. Additional studies are needed to clarify the epidemiological relationship between S. Corvallis isolated from dogs and humans with regard to public health. This is the first report on the isolation of S. Corvallis from dogs in the country.  相似文献   

A comparative evaluation of Origanum onites essential oil and its four major components as larvicides against the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams     

Cetin H  Erler F  Yanikoglu A 《Pest management science》2007,63(8):830-833

The pine processionary moth (PPM), Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams. (Lepidoptera: Thaumatopoeidae), is an important forest pest in the Mediterranean area, and urticating hairs of the caterpillars of this species cause allergic reactions on skin of humans and animals. In the present study, the larvicidal activities of Turkish oregano (Origanum onites L.) essential oil and its four major components, carvacrol, gamma-terpinene, terpinen-4-ol and thymol, were evaluated against fourth/fifth-instar larvae of PPM under laboratory conditions. The essential oil was larvicidal to PPM with an LD(50) value of 3800 microL L(-1) when 0.1 mL was applied per larva. Carvacrol was the most toxic component found in the essential oil (LD(50) = 3100 microL L(-1)), followed by thymol (LD(50) = 5500 microL L(-1)). The other two components, gamma-terpinene and terpinen-4-ol, were less effective. The results showed that Turkish oregano essential oil and its two components, carvacrol and thymol, could be potential alternatives to synthetic insecticides for the control of PPM.  相似文献   

Evaluation of reduced toxicity of zearalenone by extrusion processing as measured by the MTT cell proliferation assay   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Cetin Y  Bullerman LB 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(16):6558-6563

The objective of this study was to determine loss of toxicity of zearalenone in extruded cereal-based products by the MTT (tetrazolium salt) cell proliferation assay using a sensitive MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line and to compare the results to chemical (high-performance liquid chromatography, HPLC) and biochemical (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA) methods of analysis. A split-split plot design was used for the extrusion process experiments at temperatures of 150, 175, and 200 degrees C and screw speeds of 70 and 140 rpm. The initial zearalenone concentration in the artificially contaminated corn grits with Fusarium graminearum was found at a mean concentration of 37.88 microg/g as measured by HPLC. The percent reductions of zearalenone in the contaminated corn grits upon extrusion processing were in the ranges of 67-81, 60-72, and 66-78% as measured by HPLC, ELISA, and the MTT cell proliferation assay, respectively. The MTT cell proliferation assay results were more closely correlated with HPLC results (r = 0.96) than ELISA results (r = 0.83). The MTT cell proliferation assay was demonstrated to be a useful method for quantification of zearalenone as well as a potential toxicity screening method for contaminated extruded cereal-based products.  相似文献

多位点生物杀虫毒素BtA是通过氨基-羧基偶联剂EDC将两种生物毒素[Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)晶体原毒素和阿维菌素]进行键合反应,形成的具有多个作用位点的生物藕合产物。通过研究小菜 蛾(Plutella xylostella L.)对BtA敏感性的消减和恢复,以及不同地域小菜蛾对其敏感性的差异,来初步 评估多位点生物杀虫毒素BtA害虫敏感性变化的规律。试验结果表明:小菜蛾室内相对敏感种群对BtA 以及它的反应底物Bt伴胞晶体和阿维菌素的敏感性稳定(LC50为0．0004-0．0020mg/ml)。在三种生物杀 虫剂的选择压力之下小菜蛾敏感性下降,2代后对BtA抗性比的增长(2．29)显著地低于Bt伴胞晶体 (8．351和阿维菌素(22．5)。小菜蛾田间种群在脱离杀虫剂的选择压力后敏感性会增加,2代后对BtA的 敏感性显著地增加了4．7倍．高于对Bt伴胞晶体的1．28倍和对阿维菌素的2．00倍。福建省七个地市 小菜蛾表现出敏感性的多态性,对BtA、Bt伴胞晶体和阿维菌素的抗性比分别为1．18-6．85、1．22- 23．93和1．58-4．77。聚类分析结果在福建省以中部地区的小菜蛾具有相对较低水平的敏感性。说明多 位点生物杀虫毒素BtA有助于延缓抗性的产生、降低抗性和迅速恢复害虫敏感性的作用。  相似文献   

Sustainability of urban coastal area management: A case study on Cide     

Mehmet Cetin 《Journal of Sustainable Forestry》2013,32(7):527-541

ABSTRACT

The coast along an urban area, when it is healthy, can play a role in the city, affecting the urban identity, enriching the visual aspects of life there, and overall affecting the quality of life in a positive way. Management and planning recommendations for the coast of Cide are presented. Cide is feeling the effects of rapid changes in land use. Studies conducted with geographic information systems (GISs) in order to analyze this process have shown that the natural structure of the user area of a coast changes over time. In particular, change manifests itself in an increase in construction, forests, and people living there. As for coastal planning, research priorities in the Cide coastal area, including some external environmental factors such as the social and economic factors affecting coastal development, were investigated. A method based on land use classification has been developed in the GIS environment. The data were supported by surveys conducted with residents. Based on the GIS results, Cide’s valuable agricultural land in coastal sand dune fields and forests have been determined; that the dominant type of land use in the study includes 3,336 ha of forest, accounting for 74% of the total area.  相似文献
