A reduced neutrophilic influx was also observed immunohistochemically. These findings therefore identify interference of the enterobactin iron-scavenging mechanism as a potential measure to decrease the fitness of E. coli in the mastitic mammary gland.Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease in animals and humans. It is characterized by pain, articular cartilage damage and joint stiffness. It has been suggested that the status of the subchondral bone compartment plays an important role in the initiation and progression of OA. Bisphosphonates have been proposed as a potential disease-modifying treatment for OA, however their effectiveness is not yet clear. Twenty-four male adult New Zealand rabbits were used to evaluate the effects of risedronate on the subchondral bone quality and cartilage degradation in a long-term model of experimentally induced OA. Animals underwent an anterior cruciate ligament transection and partial medial meniscectomy or sham operation in only one knee, which was randomly chosen, using the contralateral as healthy control. Animals were divided into three groups (n = 8) untreated control group and sham surgery control group; both groups received only vehicle; and risedronate group, treated with 2.5 mg orachondral bone plate thickness in lateral compartments but, it did not show conservation of periarticular bone and was not be able to suppress the osteophyte formation. In conclusion, long-term risedronate use did not demonstrate a positive effect on reducing the cartilage damage, and failed to prevent the subchondral bone changes and osteophytogenesis in an experimental rabbit model of OA.Sarco
