RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi elucidar características histológicas das glândulas vesiculares bem como pesquisar sobre a vesiculite e sua associação com a ampolite e a prostatite. Amostras de glândulas sexuais de 40 touros foram coletadas. As glândulas vesiculares foram avaliadas descritivamente. Realizou-se a contagem da quantidade de ácinos em uma área de 25mm2, e comparou-se a quantidade de ácinos entre glândulas sadias e patológicas. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste T de student a 5%. Foi pesquisado tecido inflamatório nas ampolas do ducto deferente e nas próstatas e realizou-se o teste qui-quadrado a 5% para se avaliar a associação entre as glândulas inflamadas. Com relação à inflamação na glândula (vesiculite), 30 animais (75%) foram positivos. As glândulas vesiculares apresentaram uma média de 355±76,4 ácinos/25mm2. Quando comparadas as quantidades de ácinos entre as glândulas com e sem vesiculite, não foi observada diferença significativa (P=0,930). Ao se realizar o teste de qui-quadrado para se avaliar a associação entre a vesiculite e a ampolite ou a vesiculite e a prostatite, os resultados foram P=0,356 e P=0,300, respectivamente. Apesar da alta incidência de reação inflamatória nas glândulas, não foi observada uma associação entre as glândulas sexuais acessórias aqui estudadas. prostatite 4 coletadas descritivamente Realizouse Realizou 25mm2 mm comparouse comparou patológicas 5 realizouse realizou quiquadrado qui quadrado inflamadas , (vesiculite) 3 75% 75 (75% positivos 355764 355 76 355±76, ácinos25mm2 ácinosmm ácinos/25mm2 P=0,930.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to elucidate histological characteristics of the vesicular glands as well as to investigate vesiculitis and its association with ampolititis and prostatitis. Sex gland samples from 40 bulls were collected. The vesicular glands were descriptively evaluated, the number of acini was counted in an area of 25mm2, compared to the number of acini between healthy and pathological glands, the data were submitted to the Student's T test at 5%. Inflammatory tissue was investigated in the ampullae of the vas deferens and in the prostates, the chi-square test at 5% was performed to assess the association between the inflamed glands. Regarding inflammation in the gland (vesiculitis), 30 animals (75%) were positive. The vesicular glands presented an average of 355 ±76.4 acini/25mm2. When comparing the amounts of acini between the glands with and without vesiculitis, no significant difference was observed, p=0.930. When performing the chi-square test to assess the association between vesiculitis and ampolititis or vesiculitis and prostatitis, the results were p=0.356 and p=0.300 respectively. Despite the high incidence of inflammatory reaction in the glands, no association was observed between the accessory sex glands studied here. prostatitis 4 collected evaluated 25mm2 mm Students Student s 5 prostates chisquare chi square , (vesiculitis) 3 75% 75 (75% positive 35 764 76 ±76. acini25mm2 acinimm acini/25mm2 p0930 p 0 930 p=0.930 p0356 356 p=0.35 p0300 300 p=0.30 respectively here 25mm (vesiculitis 7 (75 ±76 acini25mm acini/25mm p093 93 p=0.93 p035 p=0.3 p030 (7 ±7 p09 9 p=0.9 p03 p=0.

This work describes a malformation in one newborn female bovine, with two faces and two skull fused, showing one single head. Duplications of the nasal and oral structures, tetraofthalmy, two brains, one single cerebellum, and pons were observed. The right thyroid was hypertrophic and the other organs had normal morphology. Every change observed in this case was compatibles with diprosopus.
