Serum Adenosine Deaminase Levels in Different Periods of Pregnancy in Ewes
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 2002) Alan, M; Agaoglu, ZT; Uyar, A; Altug, N
The levels of adenosine deaminase in different periods of pregnancy and after parturition were investigated in 13 ewes. Blood samples were collected on the day of mating and on days 10, 21, 35, 75, 104, 144 of pregnancy and on day 10 after parturition. Sera were harvested from these samples and adenosine deaminase levels were assayed as IU/L. Adenosine deaminase levels were high on the day of mating and after parturition but decreased during pregnancy. The lowest level was assayed just before parturition. Levels at the sampling times were 8.91, 8.30, 5 50, 3,96, 3.80, 2.18, 1.67 and 10.51 IU/L, respectively. Adenosine deaminase levels were different at mating time, on days 21, 35 and 104 and after parturition (P<0.05). It was concluded that serum adenosine deaminase levels decrease significantly from the period of pregnancy onwards. This decrease can be determined as early as day 21. This condition of this enzyme may indicate normal pregnancies and it may be useful for clinical diagnosis and observation of pregnancy or pregnancy period.
Transverse Uterine Incision Non-Closure Versus Closure
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2000) Gül, A; Kotan, Ç; Ugras, S; Alan, M; Gül, T
This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that non-closure of all layers of the uterus during low transverse cesarean section is not associated with increased intra-operative or immediate and late postoperative complication. Eleven pregnant dogs underwent cesarean section for the evaluation of non-closure and closure of all layers of the uterus on immediate or early and late postoperative complication and the effect of suture in tissue. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test for continuous variables and analysis for qualitative variables. Significance was defined as P < 0.05. The ranges of wound infection, other morbidity, and mortality were similar between the groups. The average operating time was significantly less for the non-closure group (71.00 +/- 7.11 min) than for the closure group (92.00 +/- 6.12 min; P < 0.005). Adhesion was significantly less (P < 0.001) for the non-closure group than for the closure group. The ranges of myometrial necrosis (5/5: 100% versus 0/5: 00%; P < 0.001) and fibrosis (2/5. 40% versus 0/5: 00%; P < 0.01) were significantly higher for the closure group than for the open group. It was found that non-closure of all layers of the uterus at low transverse cesarean incision had no adverse effect on immediate and late postoperative complication in dogs. Our data show that non-closure of all layers of the uterus at low transverse cesarean incision results in significantly less muscular necrosis and fibrosis than in the closure group. We suggest that non-closure and/or at least non-vigorous locking bur very simple closure of all layers of the uterus at low transverse cesarean incision may be preferential in appropriate cases.
