Effects of Photoperiod on Number of Mast Cells in Lymphoid Organs of the Japanese Quail (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)
(2010) Karaca, T.; Ari, H.H.; Yoruk, M.; Cinaroglu, S.
The distribution of Mast Cells (MCs) was studied in the lymphoid organs of 7, 14, 21 and 30 days old quails (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) kept in different photoperiods using light microscopy histochemical techniques. The distribution of MCs was determined in different age groups housed in continuous light (23L: ID) or in a light-dark regimen (18L: 6D). Tissue samples were obtained under deep anesthesia from birds in the four age groups, fixed in Mota's fixative (basic lead acetate) for 24 h and embedded in paraffin. Six micrometre-thick sections were stained with 0.5% toluidine blue and the number of MCs counted under the microscope. The numbers of MCs were significantly different between both age and light treatment groups. The number of mast cells was significantly lower (p<0.05) in birds exposed to continuous light (23L: ID) than in birds exposed to a shorter light period (18L: 6D). Photoperiod was concluded to influence mast cell numbers in the lymphoid organs of the Japanese quail and thus the immune response of the birds. © Medwell Journals, 2010.
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 Goat
(2010) Ari, H.H.; Soyguder, Z.; Cinaroglu, S.
The Cranial Cervical Ganglia (CCG) in the heads of 6 adult (3 male and 3 female) Ankara Goats were dissected in detail. The ganglion was located on the ventral aspect of the tympanic bulla, cranio-ventral 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 and the jugular and larygopharyngeal nerves and the connecting branches to the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerve. The internal carotid nerve arose as three branches (the cranial, the caudal and the medial branch) from the cranial region of the ganglion. The cranial branch, the profound petrosal nerve entered to the pteiygoid canal. The caudal branch terminated at trigeminal ganglion. The medial branch terminated at cavernous sinus. The other cranial branch ramified 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 literature raised in other species, differences were present in the number and courses of the branches ramified from CCG and in the branches connected to the vagus, glossopharangeal and hypoglossal nerves. © Medwell Journals, 2010.

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.
