Subject. The article presents the data of a comparative analysis of the traditional method of treating chronic generalized periodontitis of mild to moderate severity and with the use of periodontal dressings in combination with an antibacterial photodynamic system.

The goal is to study the effectiveness of the methodology of complex therapy for the treatment of periodontal diseases using periodontal dressings and antibacterial photodynamic therapy.

Methodology. We observed 120 patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases aged 18 to 55 years (men ― 52, women ― 68), who were divided into the control and main groups. In the control group, treatment was carried out according to the traditional scheme of drug therapy, in the main ― according to the method of complex therapy. The treatment regimen according to this technique included the use of periodontal dressings and an antibacterial photodynamic therapy system: photosynthesis was applied to the affected area of the periodontal pocket, after which the pathogenic microorganisms were stained for 1-3 minutes, then the liquid was thoroughly washed from the periodontal pockets and the laser affected the affected area for 60 seconds.

Results. The proposed treatment regimen using an antibacterial photodynamic system in combination with periodontal dressings allows to achieve a pronounced and prolonged anti-inflammatory effect in periodontal tissues without local and systemic use of antibiotics, reduces treatment time for mild periodontitis by 29, average ― by 57 %, reduces the likelihood recurrence, lengthens the duration of remission.

Findings. The use of complex treatment of periodontitis of mild to moderate severity allows the method to accelerate the restoration of periodontal tissues, relieve inflammation, saturate the tissues with oxygen, reduce the rate of relapse by 2.6 times and reduce the duration of relapse of this disease within 24 months. Our data allow us to implement this treatment regimen in practical healthcare.

Subject. The antagonistic activity of the Bacillus Subtilis 3H probiotic was studied on a vast amount of data, which makes it possible to rationalize its use in a periodontal practice.

The aim of the paper is to substantiate the use of the Bacillus Subtilis 3H probiotic in periodontal practice by studying the antagonistic activity against periodontal-pathogenic microflora and yeast-like fungi of Candida species.

Material and methods. The Bacillus Subtilis 3H probiotic sensitivity of reference (archival) strains, clinical isolates from patients with generalized chronic periodontitis associated with yeast-like Candida species fungi, as well as bacteria test cultures and clinical strains of periodontal pathogens, were studied using the deferred antagonism method (diffusion method, perpendicular streak technique).

Results. The conducted study made it possible to establish sufficient antagonistic activity of Bacillus Subtilis 3H probiotic against reference strains, clinical isolates isolated from patients with chronic generalized periodontitis associated with yeast-like Candida species fungi, as well as bacteria test cultures and clinical strains of periodontal pathogens.

Conclusions. The study findings allow us to recommend the Bacillus Subtilis 3H probiotic to be widely used in the complex treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis caused by periodontopathic microflora, as well as by yeast-like Candida species fungi.

Authors: Ghoreishi Abolfazl , Granpy Saeed , Armani Alireza
Published: August 2020

This study was conducted to compare the neurocognitive changes in an episode of primary psychosis in a group treated with minocycline and control. In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 40 patients with schizophrenia were randomized into two groups and underwent eight weeks of treatment with either minocycline (100 mg twice per day) or placebo in addition to routine treatment. Patients were evaluated using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) at baseline and at weeks 4 and 8. General linear model repeated measures showed a significant effect for time treatment interaction on the scores of WAIS, PANSS, and WCST of patients in the minocycline group (P>0.05). Regardless of the type of intervention, there was a remarkable difference between the mean scores of WAIS, PANSS, and WCST measured on three stages. Minocycline seems to be a safe and effective adjuvant in the management of patients with schizophrenia.

Published: August 2020

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are of specific attention due to their potential clinical use in cell transplantation. These cells could secrete cytokines and growth factors upon stimulation or suppression in regenerative medicine. This study was to evaluate the influence of BMSCs on the proliferation of K562 cells as chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell lines through the ERK pathway. For this purpose, BMSCs were extracted from Rattus Norvegicus and were co-cultured with K562 cells. In the following, at the end of the 7th day, the K562 cell was collected and subjected to ERK protein expression measurement as well as ERK gene expression by flow-cytometry and real time-PCR, respectively. Also, the cell proliferation and PDT of K562 cells were measured in the control and experimental groups. The results were shown that BMSCs were positive for mesenchymal (CD44 and CD90) and negative for hematopoietic (CD34 and CD56) markers. In addition, it was shown that BMSCs mediated CML cell line proliferation arrest via a significant reduction of the ERK protein expression in the co-culture groups versus in the K562 cell line control group. Taken together, the data concluded that the co-culture of BMSCs with CML cell lines could secrete a substantial amount of cytokines and growth factors, thus inhibiting the proliferation of CML cell lines via the ERK signaling pathway. The identity of molecules, cytokines, and growth factors involved in the anti-proliferative effect of bone marrow-derived MSCs require further investigation, and this effect could important in the basic experimental study as a therapeutic strategy.

Published: August 2020

Her-2 (ErbB-2) is an oncogene frequently overexpressed in breast and gastric adenocarcinomas, and anti-Her-2 targeted therapy can be given to such patients. Her-2 overexpression and role of anti-Her-2 targeted therapy in cases of gallbladder adenocarcinomas (GBC) are still debatable. Scoring protocols for Her-2 expression in breast and gastric carcinomas are standardized, however, not for carcinomas arising in other body organs like the gallbladder. This study is conducted to evaluate the expression of Her-2 in patients with GBC, which may benefit from targeted therapy. It is a cross-sectional study conducted on patients with GBC (n=63; 53 women and ten men). An automated immunohistochemical technique was used with an anti-ErbB2 antibody. Scoring was conducted according to the CAP (College of American Pathologists) criteria for breast cancer. Positive (3+) Her-2 staining was observed in 8/63 (12.7%). Nine cases (14.3%) showed equivocal staining (2+) pattern. All of the tumors showing Her-2 overexpression were moderately differentiated. This study indicates that a significant number of GBC cases show Her-2 overexpression. This subgroup may benefit from inhibitors of the Her-2 pathway. Standardization of scoring protocol for Her-2 expression in GBC is needed to better evaluate the predictive potential of Her-2 for the treatment of these tumors.

Published: August 2020

Acute transient swelling of the parotid glands during or after surgery under general anesthesia was prescribed by previous colleagues. This complication is called anesthesia mumps. We present a case of bilateral parotid swelling noticed early in the intraoperative period. A 52-year-old male patient was scheduled for internal fixation of right tibial fracture under general anesthesia. The surgical procedure was uneventful and lasted for 2.5 hours. But 30 minutes after the beginning of surgery, swelling of both parotid regions was noted. In the recovery unit, the patient had moderate swelling of both parotids, expanding down to the mandibular angle with no complaint of pain, difficulty in swallowing, and dyspnea. Swelling decreased in size after five days and resolved in seven days. It is important to recognize anesthesia mumps as a rare complication that can appear during surgery or in the early postoperative period.

Authors: Shirazian Shiva , Manifar Soheila , Safaei Nodehi Reza , Shabani Mohaddeseh
Published: August 2020

Objectives: Oral candidiasis has increased in recent years because of the increasing number of high-risk populations. The prevalence of Candida species is different worldwide because of the difference between population characteristics, sampling protocols, and geographic regions. Therefore, determining the more prevalent Candida species in different geographic regions seems essential. This study aimed to determine the more prevalent Candida species in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients in comparison with healthy individuals in Iran in 2016.
Materials and Methods: Fifty-one patients with AML and 62 healthy controls participated in this cross-sectional study. Samples were collected using a swab rubbed softly on the dorsal surface of the tongue and the oropharynx. The samples were cultured on CHROMagar Candida for 2 to 4 days. For differentiation between albicans and non-albicans species, positive samples were linearly inoculated on Corn Meal Agar with Tween-80. Candida species were identified using a microscope. Data were analyzed using chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests.
Results: Candida colonization was more frequent in AML patients (41.2%) in comparison with healthy participants (38.7%). Candida glabrata (C. glabrata; 27.5%) and Candida albicans (C. albicans; 32.3%) were the most common isolated species in the AML patients and the controls, respectively. There was a significant decrease in the frequency of C. albicans (P=0.022) and a significant increase in the frequency of C. glabrata (P=0.002) in the AML patients in comparison with the controls.
Conclusion: AML patients are more susceptible to candidiasis. C. glabrata is the dominant Candida species in AML patients.

Authors: Abdi Isa , Maleki Donya
Published: August 2020

Implant insertion into an atrophic knife-edge ridge with non-simultaneous extraction of anterior and posterior teeth is challenging; this is why bone regeneration before implant placement is of great importance. One of the best sources for reconstruction is an intraoral autogenous bone graft. A composite bone graft is a combination of autogenic bone and mucosal flap that provides adequate blood supply and fixation compared to conventional (from the mandibular symphysis or ramus) and extraoral bone grafts.

Authors: Javdani Moosa , Barzegar-Bafrouei Abolfazl
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Various lesions trigger an inflammatory response in the host body. These injuries include surgical stress Surgery exerts stress on the body. Systemic inflammatory syndrome is a reflection of the degree of surgical stress and as a system of assessing the severity of postoperative stress. Regular complexes of inflammatory polypeptide molecules contribute to the development of this inflammatory response known as cytokines. Lack of local control over the release of these cytokines can cause systemic inflammation, and potentially devastating complications. In writing this review articles, articles indexed in the following databases were used: Science Direct, Scopus, Springer Science, PubMed and Google Scholar Ninety two related research papers, including quantitative and qualitative researches in English, related to the last 40 years (1979- 2019) were included in this study. The current review article has been written based on 92 articles and the keywords of “Surgical Stress, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome, Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines, and Anti-Inflammatory Cytokines”. Studies in humans and animal models suggest that both types of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines following diverse primary stimuli, including endotoxin release, complement system activation, ischemia-perfusion injury, and other ways.
Conclusion: Inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines are the result of a complex unpredictable interaction of immune system effects on the body and even multiple effects on body organs. New therapeutic strategies for the absorption of cytokines are a powerful way to enhance and improve proper output, following systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
Role of Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Authors: Hashemian Zohreh , Afsharian Parvaneh
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common causes of infertility. 6 to 8 percent of women of childbearing age have this endocrine disorder. Biochemical abnormalities in these patients lead to imbalance of female hormones and increased androgens, which can have consequences such as menstrual cycle disorder, hirsutism, acne vulgaris and androgenic alopecia. Despite the long history of studies on polycystic ovary syndrome, the cause is still unknown. Oxidative stress is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species and the amount of antioxidant. When this balance is disturbed, the result is an increase in the level of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is currently recognized as one of the major pathophysiologies of many disorders and diseases, including polycystic ovary syndrome. Understanding the mechanisms of oxidative stress is crucial for developing strategies for the prevention and treatment of this disease. In this article, we reviewed the data on the mechanism of oxidative stress in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Published: August 2020

Introduction: There are significant interactions between motor and cognitive development through life span. Investigation of cognitive processes and behavioral infrastructure is very valuable, so the present study aimed to determine the developmental changes of motor imagery in typical and high functioning autism spectrum disorder children aged 8 to 12 years.
Methods: The present study was a semi- quasi one that done in a cross - sectional design. 40 children aged 8 to 10 and 40 children aged 10 to 12 years (in each age group 20 autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and 20 typical development (TD)), who matched in terms of age and IQ, were selected purposefully and accessibly selected and participated in the research voluntarily. To investigate the motor imagery, the hand rotation paradigm was used in the form of 3-D software. After calculating the reaction time and the number of errors related to the medial and lateral stimuli, repeated measures ANOVA used to analyze the reaction time data and the Mann Whitney U test used to analyze the error numbers data. All statistical tests were performed using SPSS software version 21.
Results: The findings showed that the typical development (TD) group decreased its reaction time (P=0.001) and number of errors (P=0.001) by age increasing, which was not seen in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) group.
Conclusion: It seems that the cognitive and important processes involved in learning and controlling motor skills will not improve by age and will require specialized interventions and coherent programs for this purpose.

Authors: Baghbanian Mahmoud B , Akhondi-Meybodi Mohsen
Published: August 2020

Introduction: The clinical features of celiac disease vary. Common classic signs and symptoms include diarrhea, weight loss, and abdominal distention. Celiac as a systemic disease may suffer people of all ages and with many races and ethnic groups.  Celiac disease also has other symptoms that got less attention. These signs are constipation, bloating, oral plague, bone pain, anemia, Vitiligo, hypocalcemia, hypothyroidism and seizures.  In this study, it was decided to evaluate the prevalence of gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal clinical signs of celiac disease.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 150 patients with celiac disease referred to Khatamolanbiya Clinic in 2014.The gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal clinical signs of the patients were studied. Patients with celiac disease were included who had both positive tissue anti-transglutaminase antibodies and some degree of mucosal atrophy on duodenal mucosal endoscopy. After collecting the data, the coded information was entered into SPSS version 22 software and the results were analyzed using Chi-Square, T and Wilcoxon tests.
Results: The results showed that celiac disease in the study was 1.3 times more frequently in women than men. As well as the symptoms of anemia in the population studied (40.67%) had the highest and seizures (0.67%) had the lowest rates. After anemia, hypothyroidism with 26% prevalence was the most prevalent in the community. Diarrhea with 24.7% is the mostcommon in gastrointestinal symptoms   and is the third most common after anemia and hypothyroidism.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that non-gastrointestinal symptoms (bone pain, anemia, vitiligo, hypocalcaemia, hypothyroidism, and seizures) are more common than gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, steatorrhea, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, and oral thrush in patients with celiac disease.

La toxemia como manifestación de auto-intoxicación ocurrida en el curso del embarazo y dependiente del mismo, tiene en la práctica médica como consecuencia lógica el tratamiento médico del estado tóxico y de los trastornos orgánicos conse­cutivos a él; con este fin el tratamiento médico debería ser racionalmente el único para las manifestaciones toxémicas. En nuestro medio no pasa de ser una aspiración del especialista, ya que diversas circunstancias hacen tardío e incompleto el control prenatal; ésta sería la explicación de que todavía se emplee el tratamiento quirúr­gico de la afección, tratamiento que en el futuro deberá desaparecer. Subsiste el tra­tamiento obstétrico como complemento coadyuvante del tratamiento médico.

Si se acepta que esterilidad es la inhabilidad para reproducirse, e infertilidad la mayor o menor reducción de la fertilidad (1), es lógico que la esterilidad es la maxima infertilidad posible.Podría quizás decirse que esterilidad es la imposibilidad de que un óvulo sea fecundado, y que infertilidad es la imposibilidad de que un ovulo fecundado evolucione hasta un nuevo ser viable. Las causas de uno y otro fenómeno son numerosas y variadas, y mucho mejor conocidas por ustedes que por quien les habla, como que tales problemas atañen más al ginecólogo obstetra que al endocrinólogo Sin embargo, un grupo de dichas causas tiene su origen en alteraciones funcionales de la glándula tiroides.
Floristic similarity between adult and saplings strata of Caatinga hyperxerophilous woody vegetation – a Brazilian seasonally tropical dry forest
Authors: De Lucena Marcelo Silva , De Holanda Alan Cauê , Rocha Alves Allyson
Published: August 2020

In the Caatinga, the maintenance of forest ecosystems depends on natural regeneration and several factors that can act in two ways: 1) provide the perpetuation of communities composheed of few species that dominate the adult and saplings strata, resulting in floristic similarities; 2) provide local differentiation between adult and saplings strata. However, these relationships remain poorly understood, as it is not known whether the factors acting on a local scale favor the floristic similarity between the adult and saplings strata or if these patterns are found in conserved and anthropized areas. This work evaluated the floristic similarity between the adult and saplings strata of hyperxerophilous caatinga woody-shrubby vegetation in conserved and anthropized areas. In two areasof conserved and anthropized hyperxerophilous Caatinga, adult and saplings individuals were measured and floristic richness and qualitative floristic similarity were evaluated. The floristic similarity between the adult and saplings strata was statistically compared using the Chao-Sørensen index. In both sites, although there was a large number of species exclusive to the adult stratum, the Chao-Sørensen index indicates high floristic similarity between strata. The analysis of this behavior together with the assessment of community structure shows that few species can be responsible for the key processes that structure and control the main mechanisms of persistence of these ecosystems. This can be attributed to the existence of locally uniform conditions that can define the dominance of adapted species groups.

У свету постоји више библиотека посвећених стваралаштву жена. Међу њима су најпознатије Феминистичка библиотека (The Women`s Library) при Лондонској школи за економске и политичке науке (The London School of Economics and Political Science), основана 1926, Феминистичка библиотека у Глазгову (Glasgow Women`s Library), основана 1991, Феминистичка библиотека (Feminist Library) у Лондону, основана 1975. те Библиотека женског стваралаштва и информациони центар у Истанбулу (Kadınlar Eserleri Kütüphanesi ve Bilgi Merkezi Vakfı), која постоји од 1990. године.За разлику од побројаних библиотека у Великој Британији које претежно прикупљају писану грађу од значаја за историју борбе за друштвена и политичка права жена од краја 19. века, Библиотека женског стваралаштва у Истанбулу осмишљена је као институција окренута целокупном стваралаштву које потиче од жена, али и оном које је посвећено женама и бави се тзв. женским темама и питањима. Ова библиотека је у исти мах и информациони центар са низом посебних фондова, публикација и пројеката која привлачи пажњу активизмом и ентузијазмом те организацијом низа научних, стручних и других манифестација из области своје делатности.
Писана традиција Јермена: шеснаест векова писма, књиге и библиотека
Authors: Ђурашиновић Биљана М.
Published: August 2020

У раду је представљена књижна култура Јермена од стварања писма у 5. веку до савременог доба. Посебна пажња посвећена је манастирским скрипторијумима и библиотекама који су, кроз неколико векова, с обзиром на специфичан географски положај јерменске државе и народа, били најзначајнији, а врло често и једини чувари култа књиге и читања. Са штампарском и издавачком делатношћу започело се од 16. века, првенствено у великим европским и светским центрима, да би у првој половини 19. века штампарија била отворена и у јерменској престоници Јеревану. Национална библиотека Јерменије оснива се средином 19, а већина других тек у 20. веку. Деловање јавних библиотека посебно је изражено од двадесетих година прошлог века, док се прве специјалне библиотеке оснивају десетак година касније. Савремено библиотекарство развија се у складу са утицајем информационих технологија, не занемарујући писану традицију, која се, код Јермена, у непрекинутом низу, негује већ хиљаду и шест стотина година.

The Case of Windy Lake by M. Hutchinson
Authors: MacLeod Kaia
Published: August 2020

Hutchinson, Michael. The Case of Windy Lake. Second Story Press, 2019.

Micheal Hutchinson is a citizen of the Misipawistik Cree Nation in the Treaty 5 territory and is no stranger to the Canadian media. He’s worked as a print reporter for The Calgary Straight and Aboriginal Times and became the host of APTN national news. Somehow in his busy life, he has found time to write two amazing children’s books.

The Case of the Missing Auntie is Hutchinson’s second Mighty Muskrat Mystery book. It follows the cousins Chickadee, Otter, Samuel, and Atim (the Mighty Muskrats) of the Windy Lake First Nation. It takes place after the first book, but this time the Muskrats are leaving their reserve to spend time with family in the city.

By setting the book in the city, the topic of urban Indigenous people arises. Hutchinson depicts a wide range of Indigenous people: nurses, students, musicians, and bullies. He doesn’t romanticize Indigenous people, opting to focus on realism and making the characters lifelike. The book makes sure to mention potential issues with moving/travelling from a reserve to a large city such as not fitting in and racism.

The story has the same style as the previous Mighty Muskrat Mystery book with clear goals for the Muskrats to obtain: visit the Exhibition Fair, get Otter a ticket to see the band Wavoka’s Wail, and look for Auntie Charlotte who was taken during the 60’s scoop. One of the best parts is how realistic the story is, not everything goes the Mighty Muskrats way. This isn’t your typical “everything is going to work out just fine” story but that makes it a solid read—they need to come up with a plan B.

It opens a dialogue on residential schools, the 60’s scoop, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It felt like a good introduction to those tough topics, explaining what they are without dismissing them as something that happened a long time ago or minimizing their modern impacts. Instead, the story shows the aftermath, and how it affects the younger generation without limiting characters’ identities to only be their relationship to historical trauma. As such, this book could work as a discussion starter between children and adults on these topics and could be used to promote critical discussion around themes like Indigenous identities and experiences.

The Gnawer of Rocks by L. Flaherty
Authors: MacLeod Kirk
Published: August 2020

Flaherty, Louise. The Gnawer of Rocks. Illustrated by Jim Nelson. Inhabit Media, 2017.

The Gnawer of Rocks, written by Louise Flaherty and illustrated by Jim Nelson, is based on the author's memories of a story she heard as a child from an Inuk storyteller, Levi Iqalugjuaq, in Nunavut in the 1970s. The book, which feels like an incredible mix of picture book and graphic novel, focuses on a traditional story about a creature called Mangittatuarjuk and two young women who fall into her clutches. 

Nelson's artwork follows the layout of a comic book, using word balloons and panel captions, which makes for an immersive reading experience following two girls who discover a trail of beautiful rocks outside of camp which lead them from the bright and colourful world of home into the increasingly dark and frightening world of Mangittatuarjuk. The book mixes Inuktitut terms throughout, but does include a glossary at the end.

The story does get both gruesome and horrific in the cave of Mangittatuarjuk, but the story, which would be great for older school children, does include a warning in the author's note. A really great introduction to traditional northern Canadian stories, the book includes an introduction for context and acknowledges the original storyteller as well as the reasons for this type of story and its likely role in the lives of children. An excellent read for children who are already comfortable with scary stories.

A Children’s Guide to Arctic Butterflies by M. Pelletier
Authors: Campbell Sandy
Published: August 2020

Pelletier, Mia. A Children’s Guide to Arctic Butterflies. Iqaluit, NU.: Inhabit Media, 2019.

This volume is part field guide and part art book.  Like many field guides, it begins with general material about butterflies: distinguishing them from moths, describing their life cycle and how they survive in winter.  The remainder of the book is made up of accounts for 12 different species. Each account has a genus species name, a physical description and a habitat description, and explanations of how they fly, what the caterpillar looks like, how they winter and a “fluttering fact.” Accompanying each account are two small images of the upper and lower side of the butterfly and a full-page image of the insect in its habitat.

The descriptions are detailed and interesting. For example, Pelletier tells us that, “Arctic butterflies can dry out all of their body tissues and freeze solid, thawing in the spring when the Arctic warms again.” The real joy of this book, however, is Danny Christopher’s illustrations. Christopher will be familiar to Inhabit Media readers as the illustrator of the Legend of the Fog and A Children’s Guide to Arctic Birds. Each full page illustration is a larger-than-life picture of a butterfly, rendered in muted tones that are lifelike, and match the environment. Christopher has replicated the natural greens, oranges and blacks of the lichen on rock. A child seeing a butterfly in the North could easily use this book to identify it.

This is an excellent contribution to Northern children’s wildlife books. Since some of the butterflies are circumpolar, this book is recommended for all Canadian school and public libraries and for those in other Arctic countries.

Published: August 2020

Prawns (Macrobrachiumrosenbergii) is one of the freshwater shrimp species native to Indonesia. Shrimp prawns are the most popular of all freshwater shrimp because of its large size and has a high economic value in both domestic market and abroad. Problems commonly encountered in the cultivation of prawns currently includes several factors such as water quality, disease and feed. Efforts that can be done is by feeding in sufficient quantity and quality and not excessive is a very decisive factor. Technical constraints on the level of farmers are limited in supply mains quality. Therefore, efforts are needed to tackle these problems by managing the stock of prawns parents. This study aims to determine the addition of cod liver oil on a commercial feed can increase protein retention and energy retention prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). This research was carried out experimentally with a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments were given a dose of cod liver oil 0% (control), and the treatment 1-4 using a 3% increase each treatment dose. Analysis of data using ANOVA followed by Duncan test. Based on the research results giving cod liver oil on a commercial feed effect on increasing protein retention and energy retention of lobster meat. Retention of the best protein found in 4 treatments with a dose of 12%, while the retention of the best energy contained in the second treatment with a dose of 6%.
Does water deficit negatively impact wine grape yield over the long term?
Authors: Levin Alexander D. , Deloire Alain , Gambetta Gregory A.
Published: August 2020

Like many other woody perennial crops, grapevine reproductive development occurs over a two-year cycle. Given that water deficits are commonplace in viticulture, especially for red wine grape production, this raises questions about how water deficit in the current season could potentially impact yields the following year. This article will focus on the long-term effects of water deficits on grapevine yield.
Alimentation hivernale des vaches allaitantes en zone de montagne
Authors: GAREL J.P. , PETIT M. , AGABRIEL J.
Published: August 2020

En zone de montagne plus encore qu’en plaine, il est nécessaire d’ajuster au mieux le niveau d’alimentation des vaches allaitantes pendant la période hivernale, afin d’économiser les stocks de fourrages récoltés. Avec les vaches adultes, une restriction des apports alimentaires est possible, au moins dans le cas des races rustiques. Mais elle doit rester modérée (de l’ordre de 1 UFL par jour) car la période de reproduction débute souvent au cours de l’hivernage en montagne, et la période de compensation au pâturage est courte. Cependant, les besoins alimentaires doivent être couverts pour les vaches en mauvais état à la rentrée à l’étable, ainsi que pour les vaches primipares.
Lésions osseuses et articulaires des pattes des volailles : rôles de l’alimentation
Authors: SAUVEUR B.
Published: August 2020

Les syndromes affectant le plus fréquemment les os et articulations des pattes des volailles sont la chondrodystrophie, le syndrome des pattes tordues, le rachitisme, la dyschondroplasie tibiale (D.T.) et l’ostéoporose (nécrose) des têtes fémorales. La D.T. peut résulter d’un excès de phosphore disponible par rapport au calcium (Ca/Pd < 2). Ce problème peut apparaître notamment en présence de blé dont le phosphore est plus disponible pour les volailles que celui de maïs. La fréquence de D.T. est aussi très sensible aux excès de chlore (et plus généralement d’anions) par rapport aux cations. La gravité des chondrodystrophies dues à des déficiences en zinc est aggravée par les excès d’acides gras poly-insaturés et réduite par des supplémentations en acides gras saturés. Utilisés à forte dose dans des aliments de démarrage, colza, lupin et sorgho induisent des déformations de pattes. Le "nanisme infectieux" s’accompagnant de rachitisme précoce puis de nécrose de la hanche semble devoir être relié au syndrome de "malabsorption" affectant principalement les vitamines (surtout liposolubles) et les minéraux. Les aflatoxicoses conduisent à des signes cliniques assez proches. Les lésions des pattes augmentent enfin avec la concentration de l’aliment. Une légère restriction alimentaire, spécialement autour de la 3e semaine, permettrait de limiter l’apparition de DT L’introduction de périodes journalières de jeûne est une autre voie d’action possible. Enfin, l’alimentation peut expliquer l’obtention d’une litière humide et croûteuse favorisant l’apparition de lésions dermiques.
