Comparative Effects of Intra-Articular Administration of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Hyaluronic Acid in an Experimental Osteoarthritis Model in Rats
(Arquivo Brasileiro Medicina veterinaria Zootecnia, 2025) Sancak, T.; Yildiz, F.; Gurbuz, H. O.; Ozmen, V.; Ari, H. H.; Alkan, I.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease characterized by inflammation or cartilage deterioration in joints, leading to debilitating, movement-associated pain and degenerative changes in joint cartilage, bone, and other surrounding tissues, caused by factors such as joint injury, aging, obesity, and heredity. Various agents are used in OA treatment. In this study, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and vitamin D were used in different combinations. A total of 32 rats were used in the study. After osteoarthritis was experimentally induced in the rats under general anesthesia, they were randomly divided into eight groups. Then, the preparations were administered intra-articularly as a single dose according to the groups. The study was terminated after 21 days. The tissues collected post-study were examined histopathologically. According to the histopathological findings of the study, the preparations provided mild cartilage tissue regeneration when applied individually, moderate regeneration when used in pairs, and significant regeneration and new bone trabecula formation when used in a triple combination.
A Macroanatomic Study on the Facial Vein and Its Branches in the Van Cat
(Czech Academy Agricultural Sciences, 2011) Ari, H. H.; Soyguder, Z.; Cinaroglu, S.; Sefergil, S.
In this study, five adult Van cats of both sexes, which were obtained from the Van Cat Research Centre, were used as materials. After the washing of the veins of the cats with saline via an external jugular vein, latex was injected via the same vessel into the vein system. Then, materials were fixed and after solidification of the latex, the veins were dissected, identified and presented in images. The majority of the venous drainage of the face is done by the facial vein, which is the direct continuation of the linguofacial vein in the intermandibular region, and its branches. In the Van cat, the facial vein gives off the inferior labial vein, the deep facial vein, the angular vein of the mouth and the masseteric branch on the lateral surface of the face. The facial vein then gives off the medial inferior palpebral vein, the superior labial vein and the lateral nasal vein at the level of the levatory nasolabial muscle and the angular vein of the eye and the dorsal nasal vein at the level of medial angle of the eye. The presence of a masseteric branch which is given by the facial vein and the ramifying of the deep facial vein into the descending palatine vein, the anastomotic branch of the superficial temporal vein and the external ophthalmic vein which is given by the deep facial vein in the Van cat demonstrates that there are differences in the presence, ramification and distribution either of the facial vein or of its branches as compared to domestic cats.
Macroanatomy of the Cranial Cervical Ganglion in Angora Goats
(Czech Academy Agricultural Sciences, 2010) Ari, H. H.; Soyguder, Z.; Cinaroglu, S.
The cranial cervical ganglia (CCG) in the heads of six adult (three male and three female) Angora goats were dissected in detail. The ganglion was located on the ventral aspect of the tympanic bulla, cranioventral to the atlas, medio-ventral to the jugular process and lateral to the longus capitis muscle. The branches of the ganglion were the internal and external carotid nerves, the jugular and laryngopharyngeal nerves and the connecting branches to the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerve. The internal carotid nerve arose as three branches (cranial, caudal and medial) from the cranial region of the ganglion. The cranial branch, the profound petrosal nerve, entered the pterygoid canal. The caudal branch terminated at the trigeminal ganglion. The medial branch terminated at the cavernous sinus. The other cranial branch ramifying from the cranial region of the ganglion was the jugular nerve. The internal carotid and laryngopharyngeal nerves arose from the caudal region of the ganglion. In conclusion, compared with published data on other species, we found differences in the number and courses of the branches ramifying from the CCG of Angora goats and in the branches connected to the vagus, glossopharyngeal and hypoglossal nerves.
A New Approach To Preservation of Some Organs Using Alkyd Resin
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2011) Ari, H. H.; Cinaroglu, S.
Organ preservation using alkyd resin was studied. In this new approach, water and lipids in some organs were removed and replaced by glycerol and alkyd resin using minimum equipment and inexpensive chemical substances such as varnish, thinner and glycerol. For reference, materials prepared with a conventional fixation and dehydration procedure were compared with those obtained by the new embedding and impregnation process followed by hardening. The materials obtained by the new method were dry, odourless, flexible, durable and natural in colour and texture. These materials can be used for a long time without decay and are suitable as teaching materials in anatomy, pathology and parasitology and as museum specimens. They can also be used in surgery lessons as teaching materials and in stereological microscopy studies. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
