حسن تاجبخش author text article 2007 per Abstract: The fundamental elements of nature, namely earth, water, air and sunshine should be in a healthy state, well balanced with the criteria of equilibrium and untainted so that the environment would remain pleasant and lively. Hence, there will be plant, animal and human in a existential balance. Man himself is the major polluter and destructor of environment. The environment, in turn, is a large collection of elements and a variety of active and reactive factors, developed and evolved for millions of years. As we are witnessing, any disturbance and destruction of nature has unrepiarable and harmful consequences. The protection of environment from man's disturbance calls for formulating appropriate regulations and rules and their right and timely enforcement. Yet, it is more important to cultivate the protection of environment in each and every individual including the laypeople and authorities. If we do not believe in what we are doing, we will fail to do what we are obliged to do. In the Holy Quran, frequent mentions have been made of the prostration of the earth, heaven, mountains, plants, animals and whatever exists in the universe. A type of spirit and expressiveness exists in everything. In other words, the secret of life is hidden in the living and the lifeless. Be it as it may, we should not disturb and destroy none of these things, neither should we find theoretical or artificial justification for the destruction of environment. Otherwise, we will disappoint the present and future generations, and will be responsible for our deeds against the truth. Man continues to strive to make a better and more convenient life for himself and to develop faster vehicles. If these are down properly, they will be useful for him but exploiting the environment is often destructive. The best productivity is to use the resources in a way that it would be less destructive and the environment is untainted minimally and that restoration and reconstruction cycles revive the environment rather than destroying it.

The specimens, after fixation in 10% formalin and tissue passages were stained by hematoxylin and eosin and studied under light microscope. Kidneys are covered by a dense connective tissue. Each kidney is composed of two distinct parts of cortex and medulla which in cortex, renal corpuscles associated with some parts of urinary tubules are located. In medullar part of the kidneys, thin and thick limbs of henle and medullar part of collecting tubules, are observed, which terminate to papillary or Bellini ducts. Kidneys in Caspian pony are very similar to those of other equine.

The suspension fluids of processed tongue epithelium samples were clarified by centrifugation and tested for presence of FMDV antigens. using Complement Fixation Test(CFT), Enzyme-linked Immuno-sorbant assay (ELISA) and inoculating onto BHK-21 cell culture. 151 out of 372 (40%) epithelium samples were positive to one of the FMD viruses, using CFT. These samples were collected from most provinces of Iran during one year (200-2001). The virus was isolated from 78 out of 100 mouth epithelium samples in BHK-21 cell culture. The CF and ELISA tests were positive in 25 (30%) and 50(64%), respectively. ELISA was at least two times more sensitive than the CFT for detection of FMDV in epithelial samples.

Egg quality measurement was done through assessing the eying and hatching rates of eggs. Regarding the best temperature range reported for salmonid brood fish in breeding season(3-10?C)the study was undertaken in two temperatures of 2 ± 0.5?C and 8 ± 0.5?C. In each of the noted temperatures, 15 female brood fish were used as 15 replicates and stripped 5 times. Time interval of each two spawnings was 7 days. Results indicated that temperature has a significant effect on the suitable time of stripping. When the temperature increased from 2?C to 8?C, the optimum eyeing and hatching rates were transferred from second week to the first one. Also, eyeing rate was decreased from 83% for the fifth treatment at 2?C to 3.6% at 8?C. The same trend was observed for the hatching rates. The decrease of post ovulatory suitable stripping time from 30 days in 2?C to two weeks in 8?C, shows the role of temperature on egg quality maintenance and confirms that the increase of water temperature in optimal living range, shortens the suitable post ovulatory time of stripping. This time duration estimated at least 21 DPO at 2?C and 14 DPO at 8?C. Also the time needed for overripening of the eggs estimated more than 224 Degree-Days. So the time duration of post ovulated oocyte quality maintenance in abdominal cavity of female rainbow trout is highly dependent on water temperature.

Optimization of a molecular diagnostic method for the detection of avian bronchitis virus and identification of Massachusetts serotype was investigated. In order to detect infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) in tissue samples, an RT-PCR was optimized. Specific primers from conserved region of all known IBV serotypes were used in the first PCR assay. Specific primers for the identification of Massachusetts serotype were selected from S-1 gene of the virus in the second PCR reaction. The S-1 gene is a hypervariable region among IBV serotypes; therefore, the amplification of this region is important for serotype identification. Viral RNA was extracted from vaccine and tissue samples from vaccinated and clinical tissue samples of suspected birds. After construction of cDNA, two PCR assays were performed. In the first RT-PCR, detection of virus in test samples was investigated and in the second PCR, Massachusetts serotype was identified. To identify the specificity of the test, PCR amplicons were sequenced. In the first reaction, the IBV was detected in the samples and a 600 bp fragment was amplified. In the second PCR, a 355 bp fragment was amplified from S-1 gene, which confirmed the detection of Massachusetts serotype. In clinical samples, the IBV was also detected. The specificity of the test was confirmed by sequencing of PCR products. Sequence data were submitted to the GenBank which could be accessible by AY954694 number. The RT-PCR is a specific assay for the detection of IBV. Detection of IBV and identification of genetic differences among IBV subtypes in Massachusetts serotype would be possible by sequencing of amplified products.

Each rat of A2 and B2 received 100 IU intraperitoneal standard heparin and each rat of A3 and B3 received 100 IU intraperitoneal dalteparin. On the 21st postoperative day, rats were euthanized and intensity of intraperitoneal adhesions evaluated macroscopically. The results were analyzed with Chi-Square test. Peritoneal adhesions in experimental groups reduced significantly(p0.05). So, dalteparin and standard heparin are effective in preventing adhesion in infectious and noninfectious peritonitis but nosignificant differences were found between these drugs (p>0.05). In brief, regarding to the in vivo beneficial effects of LMWH, dalteparin is more recommended.

Fifteen lymph node from infected cows that had positive results in AGID and ELISA tests for BLV and have clinical signs of lymphosarcoma, in addition five lymph node from apparently healthy cows that had negative results in serological tests. After preparation of extract of lymph nodes, all of the samples electerophoresed in SDS-PAGE system in discontinuous 5 and 10% gel. All gels transferred to nitrocellulose membrane in Biorad blotting system. Antigens were detected by BLV positive antisera by using HRPO conjugated protein G and Tetramethyl benzidine as substrate. At least 25 proteinal band were detected in SDS-PAGE of tumoral and normal lymph node. In tumural tissues two additional band 24 and 51 kda were detected. In western blotting of those samples, gp51 antigen were detected in all tumoral lymph nodes , p24 antigen were detected in 5 samples from 15 samples and in non of apparently healthy samples non of those two antigens did not detect in WB test. These results were shown that gp51 were expressed in high level in tumors and induced a strong humoral immune response but p24 is a weak and non-common antigen in lymphatic tumors.
