A juvenile male Ganges River dolphin (Platanista gangetica spp. gangetica) was accidentally trapped in a seine net, rescued as dead and brought for postmortem examination to the Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University Hospital. This endemic species has suffered an expressive population reduction over the last few decades. Therefore, th...

Fatty acid‐binding protein 7 (FABP7), one of the fatty acid (FA) chaperones involved in the modulation of intracellular FA metabolism, is highly expressed in glioblastoma, and its expression is associated with decreased patients' prognosis. Previously, we demonstrated that FABP7 requires its binding partner to exert its function and that a mutation...

The basic knowledge of the applied anatomy of the head region is important in clinical practices since regional anesthesia is the only choice for ruminants. Thus, using three head region samples we aimed to reveal the proper anesthesia sites of clinically important nerves of adult male Zebu cattle through a surface approach. Our study revealed that...

Ganges River dolphins (Platanista gangetica spp. gangetica) are air-breathing, warmblooded mammals endemic to the Ganges and Karnaphuli rivers of the Indian subcontinent. Nevertheless, very little basic histomorphological research has been conductedon this endangered species. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the morphological features of dif...

Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is a key enzyme in cellular metabolism. IDH1 mutation (IDH1mut) is the most important genetic alteration in lower‐grade glioma, whereas glioblastoma (GB), the most common malignant brain tumor, often has wild‐type IDH1 (IDH1wt). Although there is no effective treatment yet for neither IDH1wt nor IDHmut GB, it is im...

Altered function of mitochondrial respiratory chain in brain cells is related to many neurodegenerative diseases. NADH Dehydrogenase (Ubiquinone) Fe-S protein 4 (Ndufs4) is one of the subunits of mitochondrial complex I and its mutation in human is associated with Leigh syndrome. However, the molecular biological role of Ndufs4 in neuronal function...

Fatty acid‐binding protein (FABP) 5 is highly expressed in various types of tumors and is strongly correlated with tumor growth, development, and metastasis. However, it is unclear how the expression of FABP5 in the host affects tumor progression. In this study, using a lung tumor metastasis model in mice, we found that FABP5‐deficient mice were mo...

Purpose Fatty acid-binding protein 7 (FABP7) involved in intracellular lipid dynamics, is highly expressed in melanomas and associated with decreased patient survival. Several studies put FABP7 at the center of melanoma cell proliferation. However, the underlying mechanisms are not well deciphered. This study examines the effects of FABP7 on Wnt/β-...

Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) is an intracellular fatty acid chaperon that is highly expressed in astrocytes, oligodendrocyte-precursor cells, and malignant glioma. Previously, we reported that FABP7 regulates the response to extracellular stimuli by controlling the expression of caveolin-1, an important component of lipid raft. Here, we exp...

The onset establishment and maintenance of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion is an important phenomenon regulating pubertal development and reproduction. GnRH neurons as well as other neurons in the hypothalamus have high-energy demands and require a constant energy supply from their mitochondria machinery to maintain active functioni...

Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) bind and internalize long-chain fatty acids, controlling lipid dynamics. Recent studies have proposed the involvement of FABPs, particularly FABP7, in lipid droplet (LD) formation in glioma, but the physiological significance of LDs is poorly understood. In this study, we sought to examine the role of FABP7 in pr...

Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7)is expressed in astrocytes of the developing and mature central nervous system, and modulates astrocyte function by controlling intracellular fatty acid homeostasis. Astrocytes in the spinal cord have an important role in the process of myelin degeneration and regeneration. In the present study, the authors exami...

Bones of forelimb were studied from a prepared skeleton of an adult female Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in Anatomy Museum of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University to understand the morphological form and structure of Asian elephant forelimb. The angle was approximately 123º between caudal border of scapula and caudal border of hu...

This note provides a morphological confirmation of the occurrence of Ratanaworabhans’s Fruit Bat Megaerops niphanae in Bangladesh. Although previously recorded in neighbouring territories in India, this constitutes the first country record for the taxon and highlights the current incompleteness of faunal knowledge and potential for future discoveri...

A histological and morphometric study was conducted to evaluate the seasonal testicular variations in the adult Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) in Bangladesh. The weight of birds and testes, volume, length, circumference, seminiferous tubule diameter, circumference and height of germinal epithelium of testes were measured. Sections of t...

This study was intended to investigate some aspects of the morphometric characteristics of the neurocranium in domestic cat (Felis catus) of Bangladesh. Twenty adult domestic cat including 10 males and 10 female were euthanized using diazepam (@ 20 mg/kg) and their skulls were macerated to give morphometric parameters. Student t-test with level of...

Recent excavated skeleton of an adult female Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus), died in dystokia in Bangladesh was used for macro anatomical study. Some unique morphological features of bones of hind limb were observed. Pelvic canal was more oval and the wings of ilium were wider. Rump slope was about 36°. Angle between femur and tibia was close to...

Clinical records on natural infections of various diseases among goats atCos Bazar Sadar Veterinary Hospital in Cox's Bazar district of Bangladesh were scrutinized for one year to determine disease trends and modulating effects of rainfall, relative humidity and mean daily air temperature on disease occurrence. From 1086 cases, male and female goat...

The aim of this study was to compare the blood parameters between lactating cows and their calves. Fifty crossbred (HF  Sahiwal  Local) clinically healthy multiparous lactating cows with their calves (29 male and 21 female) of below 3 months of age were blood sampled. Total erythrocyte count (TEC), Differential Leukocyte count (DLC), average mean...

Contaminated poultry and poultry products are a major source of motile Salmonellae for human salmonellosis worldwide. Local circulation of any motile Salmonella serovar in poultry has a wider public health impact beyond its source of origin for being dispersed elsewhere through poultry trades or human travels. To investigate the status of motile Sa...

Four large dead frugivorous bats (Pteropus giganteus) were used to investigate the macroanatomy of bones of axial and appendicular skeleton. Study revealed elongated oval shaped skull with incomplete orbital rim, prominent canine teeth, wide zygomatic process, shallow masseteric fossa and straight body of mandible. Vertebral formula was C7 T13 L5 S...

SUMMARY Unprecedented high rates of anthrax outbreaks have been observed recently in cattle and humans in Bangladesh, with 607 human cases in 2010. By enrolling 15 case and 15 control cattle smallholdings in the spatial zone in July-September 2010, we conducted a case-control study, data of which were analysed by matched-pair analysis and multivari...
