#1 - Telencephalon vascularity in sheep (Ovis aries)

Abstract in English:

The studies into the vascularity of the telencephalon in Polish Merino sheep of both sexes were made on 60 cerebral hemispheres. It was found that the middle cerebral artery is the most powerful vessel supplying blood to the telencephalon. The artery gets divided into ten permanent branches. Two olfactory arteries supply the area of the telencephalon located on the border between the old and the new cortex. The other eight branches get divided into three branches running to the region of the frontal lobus of the brain, two branches - to the region of the parietal lobus and three temporal branches heading for the temporal region, supplying blood to the new cortex only. The frontal, parietal and temporal branches descended independently from the main trunk of the middle cerebral artery or first formed a common trunk. Common trunks for respective groups of branches have been referred to as: the anterior, superior and posterior middle cerebral arteries. The posterior olfactory artery in 6.7% of the cases was an independent branch from the rostral cerebral artery.

Duque de Caxias Norte 225, Pirassununga, SP 13635-900, Brazil. E-mail: fabio_pinaffi@hotmail.com Two ultrasound based fertility prediction methods were tested prior to embryo transfer (ET) and artificial insemination (AI) in cattle. Female bovines were submitted to estrous synchronization prior to ET and AI. Animals were scanned immediately before ET and AI procedure to target follicle and corpus luteum (CL) size and vascularity. In addition, inseminated animals were also scanned eleven days after insemination to target CL size and vascularity. All data was compared with fertility by using gestational diagnosis 35 days after ovulation. Prior to ET, CL vascularity showed a positive correlation with fertility, and no pregnancy occurred in animals with less than 40% of CL vascularity. Prior to AI and also eleven days after AI, no relationship with fertility was seen in all parameters analyzed (follicle and CL size and vascularity), and contrary, cows with CL vascularity greater than 70% exhibit lower fertility. In inseminated animals, follicle size and vascularity was positive related with CL size and vascularity, as shown by the presence of greater CL size and vascularity originated from follicle with also greater size and vascularity. This is the first time that ultrasound based fertility prediction methods were tested prior to ET and AI and showed an application in ET, but not in AI programs. Further studies are needed including hormone profile evaluation to improve conclusion.

[Tamanho e vascularização do folículo e corpo lúteo como preditores de fertilidade após inseminação artificial e transferência de embriões em gado de corte.] Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 35(5):470-476. Laboratório de Teriogenologia, Departamento de Medicina Veterinária, Faculdade de Zootecnia e Engenharia de Alimentos, Universidade de São Paulo, Av. Duque de Caxias Norte 225, Pirassununga, SP 13635-900, Brazil. E-mail: fabio_pinaffi@hotmail.com Duas técnicas de predição de fertilidade, baseadas em ultrassonografia, foram testadas no momento da transferência de embriões (TE) e inseminação artificial (IA) em bovinos. Fêmeas bovinas foram submetidas a protocolos de sincronização de estro para TE e IA. Os animais foram escaneados por ultrassonografia imediatamente antes do procedimento de TE e IA para identificar o tamanho e vascularização do folículo e corpo lúteo (CL). Além disso, os animais inseminados foram escaneados onze dias após a inseminação para identificar o tamanho e vascularização do CL. Todos os dados foram comparados com a fertilidade utilizando-se do diagnóstico gestacional 35 dias após a ovulação. No momento da TE, a vascularização do CL apresentou-se positivamente relacionada com a fertilidade, sendo que animais com menos de 40% de vascularização do CL não ficaram gestantes. No momento da IA, assim como onze dias após a IA, nenhuma relação foi encontrada entre fertilidade e os parâmetros analizados (tamanho e vascularização do folículo e CL), enquanto que contrariamente, houve uma queda na fertilidade em vacas com vascularização do CL acima de 70%. Nos animais inseminados, o tamanho e vascularização do folículo foi positivamente relacionado ao tamanho e vascularização do CL, demonstrado pela presença de um CL maior e mais vascularizado proveniente de um folículo maior e mais vascularizado. O presente estudo é o primeiro a mostrar métodos de predição de fertilidade baseados em ultrassonografia no momento da IA e TE, demonstrando uma aplicabilidade prática no momento da TE. Novos estudos são necessários para suportar os resultados mostrados, incluindo análises hormonais.
