Ultrastructural characteristics of sheep and horse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)

In the present study, the morphological and ultrastructural characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) induced towards osteogenic, adipogenic, and chondrogenic lineages were investigated. The main objective of this paper was to focus on the differentiation capacity of ovine [oMSCs] and equine MSCs [eMSCs]. Bone marrow [BM] MSCs were isolated from ovine and equine patients, expanded in monolayer culture and induced into osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. For chondrogenic differentiation, cells were cultured in micromass culture. Also, their ultrastructural phenotypes were studied by transmission electron microscopy [TEM]. This study was aimed to provide an indepth morphological description of BM-derived ovine and equine MSCs induced towards three lineages, it demonstrated that TEM analysis is useful in elucidating detailed structural information

Comparison of two different triple pelvic osteotomy plates for the treatment of hip dysplasia in 23 dogs

WOS: 000357000800006This study was performed on different breeds, age and sex 23 dogs, which were brought with canine hip dysplasia (CHD). All cases separated into randomized two groups. Although Standard Triple Pelvic Osteotomy (TPO) procedure and Standard TPO Plate were applied on the first group (6 cases), in the other (17 cases) Standard TPO procedure and Twisted Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP) plate were applied. Pre and postoperative Norberg-Olsson Angles (NO) was measured by Bs200Pro Software Programme (BsCelik, BAB Digital Imaging System 2007, Ankara, Turkiye) on computer imaging. Although group numbers are not equal we concluded that there were not any considerable difference shown between two groups. Twisted DCP group's evaluation was found to be similar to evaluation of TPO Plate group. Twisted DCP is as effective as original TPO Plate for treatment of canine hip dysplasia
