RESUMO
Dados histomorfométricos foram obtidos de cornos uterinos de gatas nulíparas (n=6), primíparas (n= 6), multíparalterações mais marcantes nas gatas tratadas; as variações morfológicas menos marcantes foram relativas ao diâmetro e epitélio glandulares; a presença de glândulas endometriais dilatadas foi encontrada somente nas gatas tratadas.
Histomorphometric data were obtained from cats uterine horns: either nulliparous (n = 6), primiparous (n = 6), multiparous (n = 6) and treated with contraceptive (n = 6). The material was collected after surgery, fixed in paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraplast® resin to be sliced in a microtome. The obtained sections were stained with hematoxylin -eosin and measured under a light microscope: uterine wall total thickness (μm), endometrium total height, endometrial glands diameter and glandular epithelia height, total myometrium, internal and external myometrium and vascular layer thickness. It was concluded that: 1 -contraceptive use and number of pregnancies altered the uterine structure, 2 -one pregnancy does not appear to affect the uterine lining structures as occurs in multiparous cats, 3 there was no variation on the evaluated structures between nulliparous and primiparous cats except for inner myometrium, 4 - the total myometrium hight and the endometrium hight showed similar variations except for the contraceptive treated cats group, 5 - the outer myometrium showed marked changes in the treated cats, 6 the less marked morphological variations were for the endometrial glands diameter and glandular epithelium hight, 7 - the presence of dilated endometrial glands was found only in treated cats.

Para evaluar el efecto de los días postparto al tratamiento (DPP), predominio racial (PR), número de partos (NP) y época del año (E) sobre la ciclicidad y fertilidad de vacas mestizas en anestro tratadas con esponjas intravaginales (EI) impregnadas con Medroxi-acetato progesterona (MAP) más una inyección de eCG y PGF2a; se condujo un experimento en una finca ubicada en un bosque húmedo-tropical en el municipio Machiques de Perijá-Zulia, Venezuela. Se seleccionaron 72 vacas mestizas Bos taurus × Bos indicus primíparas (47) y multíparas (25) entre 45 y 108 días postparto (DPP) y condición corporal (CC) entre 3 y 3,5. Las vacas recibieron el siguiente esquema hormonal: Día 0: inserción de la EI, inyección de 5 mg de 17b-Estradiol y 50 mg de MAP im; Día 6: 500 UI de eCG y 25 mg de PGF2a im; Día 8: retiro de la EI; Día 9: 1 mg de 17b-Estradiol im. Un grupo fue tratado antes de los 70 DPP (MAP < 70DPP; n = 25) y otro después de los 70 DPP (MAP > 70DPP; n = 47). Se estudió la tasa de sincronización (TS), fertilidad al primer servicio (F), fertilidad global (FG), Intervalo Tratamiento-Concepción (ITC), Intervalo Parto-Concepción (IPC) y periodo de sincronización (PS). Las variables TS, F, y FG se analizaron con PROC LOGISTIC, SAS; mientras que ITC, IPC y PS con PROC GLM, SAS. No se encontró efectos del PR y NP sobre la TS, F, FG, ITC, IPC y PS. Las vacas con PR Bos indicus presentaron mayor F y FG en el grupo MAP < 70DPP comparada con MAP > 70DPP (F: 81,8 vs 43,7%; FG: 84,6 vs 45,5%). La TS fue mayor en las vacas tratadas en la época lluviosa comparada con la seca (96,4 vs 69,8%). La F solo fue mayor en la época lluviosa cuando las vacas fueron tratadas antes de 70DPP vs MAP > 70DPP (87,5 vs 42,1%). El PS fue menor en la época seca (36,9 h) vs la época lluviosa (48,8 h). El IPC fue menor en MAP < 70DPP (95,8 días) comparado con MAP > 70DPP (148,3 días). En conclusión, los días postparto al momento de la aplicación de la EI fue el factor que más ...
An experiment was done to evaluate the effect of postpartum interval to treatment (DPP) breed (PR), number of calving (NP) and season (E) on ciclicity and fertility of anestrous crossbred cows treated with intravaginal sponges (EI) impregnated with progesterone medroxi acetate (MAP) plus im injection of eCG and PGF2a. The study was conducted in a farm located in a tropical rainforest in Machiques de Perijá, Venezuela. Seventy two primiparous (47) and multiparous (25) Bos taurus × Bos indicus crossbred cows, between 45 and 108 days postpartum (DPP) and body condition (CC) between 3.0 and 3.5. Cows were treated as follows: MAP; Day 0, EI insertion + 5 mg 17b-Estradiol and 50 mg MAP im; Day 6, 500 IU eCG and 25 mg PGF2a im; day 8 EI removed; day 9 1 mg 17b-Estradiol im. One group was treated before 70 DPP (MAP < 70DPP; n = 25) and another after 70 DPP (MAP > 70DPP; n = 47). Studied variables were: Synchronization rate (TS), first service conception rate (F), total pregnancy rate (FG), treatment to conception interval (ITC), calving to conception interval (IPC) and synchronization period (PS). Variables TS, F, and FG were analyzed with PROC LOGISTIC, SAS, while ITC, IPC and PS were analyzed with the PROC GLM, option SAS. Variables TS, F, FG, ITC, IPC and PS were not affected by PR and NP. Cows predominantly Bos indicus in MAP < 70DPP had greater (P < 0.05) F and FG than those in MAP > 70DPP (F: 81.8 vs 43.7%; FG: 84.6 vs 45.5%). The TS was greater (P < 0.01) in cows treated during the rainy season than those treated during the dry season (96.4 vs 69.8%). During the rainy season, cows in MAP < 70DPP had greater (P < 0.01) F than did those in MAP > 70DPP (87.5 vs 42.1%, respectively). The PS was shorter (P < 0.01) during the dry season (36.9 h) vs the rainy season (48.8 h). The IPC was shorter (P < 0.01) in MAP < 70DPP (95.8 days) compared to MAP > 70DPP (148.3 days). In conclusion, days to EI insertion after parturition was the most important ...
