Corneal ulcers in dogs and cats are very common. Regardless of etiology (melting or indolent corneal ulcers) and of the affected layers of the cornea (superficial or deep corneal ulcers), local treatment is performed using eye drops with antibiotic and corneal healing drugs (hyaluronic acid and acetylcysteine). Each eye should be instilled 5-8 times per day for 14-21 days. In Romania, the eye drops available on the market have only one active substance and the owner must apply the topical medication from several vials. To remove this drawback, a new healing eye drop formulation containing sodium hyaluronate, acetylcysteine and insulin (as a growth tissue factor) has been developed, reducing the number of daily administrations. This new formulation is well tolerated and the corneal healing is achieved by only 3-4 administrations per day.

Improving cotton yield under limited water supply needs to deeper understanding of the plant’s response and adapting strategies to improve their tolerance. Effects of limited water conditions on ten cotton genotypes (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were examined in a field experiment to evaluate their tolerance level and explore time depending changes in canopy temperature and leaf greenness as indirect determinations of leaf water-status and chlorophyll density. Plant height shortened (15%), dry matter accumulation inhibited (36%), ball number (35%) and eventually lint yield (35%) decreased of all cotton genotypes since irrigation amount decreased 32% under limited watering conditions (LWC). Significant genotypic variation in tolerance level and yielding capacity under LWC were found among genotypes. Leaf tissues accumulated higher proline (stress-related amino acid) to adapt lower water potential conditions while canopy temperature depression (CTD) reversibly decreased and SPAD values were increased. A strong correlation between relative changes in CTD and SPAD values and a significant variation in ability of the cotton genotypes to recover CTD under limited water conditions were found. Our results also suggested that the higher ability to recover CTD of cotton leaves was associated with lower total dry weight reduction and water stress susceptibility under limited water conditions.

G. banksii R. Br. is a widespread species forming dense populations in the Eastern part of Madagascar. The aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic effects of G. banksii on seeds germination and initial growth of three agricultural crops: rice (Oriza sativa L.), maize (Zea mays L.) and bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The effects of leaf (leaf powder and aqueous leaf extracts obtained after shaking during 24 and 48 h) and rhizospheric soil (soil powder and aqueous soil extract shaken during 72 h) of G. banksii on seeds germination, seedling length of each tested plant were described in vitro. Results showed that the rhizospheric soil of G. banksii activates the germination of bean and maize seeds as well as the seedling length development of all crop species but inhibit rice seeds germination. However, all aqueous leaf extract inhibit seeds germination and the shoot and root length development of the three crops species tested, especially for rice and maize roots length development. This investigation therefore comparatively reveals that the leaves extract of G. banksii has more allelopathy than rhizospheric soil in seed germination and initial growth of agricultural crops tested. The results suggest some cautions when using the shoots of G. banksii as plant cover in farming systems.

This study was motivated by the fact that the available data on the effects of probiotics and nutraceuticals concerning the health and the productive performance indices in avian species are still controversial. The research consisted in evaluating the influence of BioLactorom nutraceutical product on the main haematological, clinical and biometric indices in Broiler chickens (Ross 308), divided in a control group (n=20) and an experimental group (n=20). According to the manufacturer's instructions, 1 ml of BioLactorom/l water was administered to the chickens in the experimental group in the first 3 days of life, respectively in days 17-19, to reduce the stress generated by manipulation and batching. The chicks were clinically monitored throughout the evaluation, and haematological and microbiological examinations (cultural, on simple agar and McConkey agar, respectively bacterioscopic exam) were performed. All the data obtained emphasized the beneficial effects of BioLactorom, in improving the growth factor, the immunity and the balance of the intestinal flora, and also in reducing the costs of vaccines and other drug products.

People have used mushrooms for many different diseases for thousands of years. Although mushrooms are considered as nutrients for the first time, it has been determined by researches that they have medicinal properties. In this study, antioxidant status, oxidant status and some mineral contents of wild edible mushroom Ramaria stricta (Pers.) Quél were determined. The antioxidant and oxidant states of the mushroom were measured using Rel Assay kits. Element contents were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. In this study, the antioxidant potential of R. stricta mushroom used in our study has been evaluated to be high in term of total antioxidant status (TAS) values (4.223 ± 0.054 mmol/l), total oxidant status (TOS) values (8.201 ± 0.095 μmol/l), and oxidative stress index (OSI) value (0.194 ± 0.001). Fruitbodies of R. stricta contains essential mineral elements which are of immense health benefit. The highest Fe content (451.21 ± 5.56 mg.kg^-1) was found in mushroom samples. It was established high Cu content (95.54 ± 2.06 mg.kg^-1), and Zn content (39.19 ± 1.07 mg.kg-1). Ni content was 7.17 ± 0.32 mg.kg^-1. A lower content (2.18 ± 0.10 mg.kg^-1) was recorded for Pb. In addition, element contents were found to be at normal levels. As a result, R. stricta mushroom is thought to be a natural antioxidant source.

Relationship between dietary habits and disease risk was demonstrated by numerous epidemiological studies which led to the conclusion that food has a direct impact on health. On the other hand, recent researches established some correlations between the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables and their health benefits. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is an important dietary leafy vegetable mainly consumed fresh or in salad mixes for its good taste, but also because it is perceived as being amongst healthy food since a number of lettuce varieties have been investigated and reported to contain some compounds with antioxidant activities. Lettuce cultivation has been greatly expanded in recent times, so that researchers have been looking for solutions for growing it in confined spaces using artificial LED lighting (light emitting diodes). The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of LED lighting on biochemical characteristics of some lettuce varieties in order to establish the best light treatment during cultivation for enhancing the plants growth, yield and nutritional value. Different combinations of LED wavelengths against conventional light sources were investigated and the researches performed demonstrated that LEDs variably influenced growth characteristics and increased biochemical compounds content in the analyzed lettuce varieties.

Yeasts represent a major group within the microbial communities involved in production of fermented foods. Studies regarding yeast diversity during fermentation, focused on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but Pichia kudriavzevii also represents an important component of these communities. P. kudriavzevii is widely distributed in nature, is isolated mainly from natural fermentations and is characterised as a potential biocontrol and wastewater treatment agent. The present work deals with biodiversity studies on four P. kudriavzevii strains from Romanian spontaneous fermented products. The strains were identified using conventional tests and molecular analyses of the rDNA coding region. The intraspecific biodiversity was evaluated by PCR-RAPD using different primers. The dynamics of yeast communities from fermented products involved interspecific comparative analysis of RAPD profiles of our strains and their cofermenters and determination of the similarity index using the Jaccard coefficient (Sij). This study represents a preliminary step for characterizing the microbial communities from Romanian fermented products and is essential for the improvement of biotechnological processes associated with food industry.

The paper provides the results of the comparative analysis of similarity of the model dendrofloras of protected parksmonuments of landscape art of Rivne, Vinnytsia and Zaporizhzhia administrative regions of Ukraine, the natural conditions of which represent three geographical zones - mixed forests, forest-steppe and steppe. The basis for the comparison was the park dendrofloras of Rivne region inventoried by the authors, which includes 127 species of woody plants. The species composition of plants of park dendrofloras of the other two regions has been analyzed by literary sources, from which it is known that the park dendroflora of Zaporizhzhia region has 348 and Vinnytsia region - 487 species of woody plants. As a result of the pairwise comparison of dendrofloras the greatest similarity of species composition of woody plants of parks of Vinnytsia and Zaporizhzhia regions (Ksc = 0.47, Kj = 0.30) has been established, which is a natural phenomenon, since the richness of forest steppe and steppe soils also determines the richness of dendrodiversity. As a result of the comparative analysis of taxonomic structures of all three park regional dendrofloras, the predominance of Magnoliophyta and Rosaceae species has been established. In their biomorphological structure, a subset of mesophanerophytes with a dominance of the first magnitude trees and tall shrubs has a key place. In the ecological structure of these three dendrofloras there are more light-demanding, mesophytyc and frost-resistant plant species. As for the soil nutrient requirements, a share of common species for the pair of park dendrofloras of Rivne and Zaporizhzhia regions dominates. It is explained geographically and edaphically by less optimal conditions for plant growth and development than in the forest-steppe zone. Also, there are more dendroexotic plants in this pair of compared dendrofloras.

The purpose of the study is to document in the specialized literature, the importance of using experimental animal models in dental medicine. For this study we reviewed 41 abstracts of scientific papers and 81 in-extenso articles, using Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed databases. Additionally, a search in 5 specialized books was performed. Of these scholarly papers, 67 were considered to be relevant for this study. Even though the prevalence of these studies is decreasing due to the new legislative restrictions, the scientific results obtained with the use of these models in medical research are evident. The most relevant experimental animal model for scientific documentation of oral rehabilitation is the dog, both for dental implant surgery research and for the study of biomaterials used in the treatment of periodontal disease. The monkey is considered to be of excellent relevance for the evaluation of healing after periodontal treatments.
