Abstract
AIM We aimed to determine the effectiveness of Nintedanib treatment, which has known antifibrotic effect, in preventing fibrosis after urethral trauma. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-three adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into 3 different groups: Sham, Urethral injury group (UI) and Urethral injury+ Nintedanib (UI+N). The urethral injury model was made with a pediatric urethrotome knife. Nintedanib was administered at a dose of 50mg/kg by oral gavage for 14 days at the same time every day. After 14 days of treatment, all rats were performed penectomy under general anesthesia. Urethral tissue was evaluated histopathologically (congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration and spongiofibrosis) and immunohistochemically (transforming growth factor (TBF) Beta-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEBFR2)). RESULTS Histopathological findings: Group UI had higher scores in all categories (congestion, inflammatory cell infiltration, and spongiofibrosis), followed by Group UI+N and Group Sham, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between Group UI and Group UI+N in terms of the scores of histopathological parameters (p<0.05). Immunohistochemical findings: Group UI had higher scores in both categories, followed by Group UI+N and Group Sham, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between Group UI and Group UI+N in TGF Beta-1 and VEGF scores (p<0.05). CONCLUSION We found that Nintedanib administration after urethral trauma reduced inflammation and fibrosis histologically and immunohistochemically. The positive effect of Nintedanib on inflammation and fibrosis after urethral trauma reported in this animal study is encouraging for a potential clinical human application.

Abstract
This paper reports a presumptive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in a cat. A cat with respiratory disease living with three individuals with coronavirus disease 2019 showed bilateral ground-glass opacities in the lung on X-ray and computed tomography. The clinical swabs were negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA, but the serum was positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Interstitial pneumonia and prominent type 2 pneumocyte hyperplasia were noted on histopathology. Respiratory tissues were negative for SARS-CoV-2 RNA or antigen, but the cat was positive for feline parvovirus DNA. In conclusion, the respiratory disease and associated pathology in this cat could have been due to exposure to SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
The avian coronavirus infectious bronchitis virus (AvCoV-IBV) is recognized as an important global pathogen because new variants are a continuous threat to the poultry industry worldwide. This study investigates the genetic origin and diversity of AvCoV-IBV by analysis of the S1 sequence derived from 49 broiler flocks and 14 layer flocks in different regions of Turkey. AvCoV-IBV RNA was detected in 41 (83.6%) broiler flocks and nine (64.2%) of the layer flocks by TaqMan real-time RT-PCR. In addition, AvCoV-IBV RNA was detected in the tracheas 27/30 (90%), lungs 31/49 (62.2%), caecal tonsils 7/22 (31.8%), and kidneys 4/49 (8.1%) of broiler flocks examined. Pathologic lesions, hemorrhages, and mononuclear infiltrations were predominantly observed in tracheas and to a lesser extent in the lungs and a few in kidneys. A phylogenetic tree based on partial S1 sequences of the detected AvCoV-IBVs (including isolates) revealed that 1) viruses detected in five broiler flocks were similar to the IBV vaccines Ma5, H120, M41; 2) viruses detected in 24 broiler flocks were similar to those previously reported from Turkey and to Israel variant-2 strains; 3) viruses detected in seven layer flocks were different from those found in any of the broiler flocks but similar to viruses previously reported from Iran, India, and China (similar to Israel variant-1 and 4/91 serotypes); and 4) that the AVCoV-IBV, Israeli variant-2 strain, found to be circulating in Turkey appears to be undergoing molecular evolution. In conclusion, genetically different AvCoV-IBV strains, including vaccine-like strains, based on their partial S1 sequence, are circulating in broiler and layer chicken flocks in Turkey and the Israeli variant-2 strain is undergoing evolution.
