Our study suggests that Ptx has a prophylactic effect on the radiation complications. This can be explained by protective effect of Ptx against vascular pathology.

This study was carried out to determine total kid productivity and total efficiency in Saanen and Bornova goats. Gestation productivity and gestation efficiency for Saanen and Bornova goats were 591 kg and 454 kg; 10.19 kg and 8.74 kg respectively. The effect of genotype on gestation productivity and gestation efficiency for Saanen and Bornova were found significant (P<0.05). Total kid productivity and total efficiency for Saanen and Bornova goats were 4337.39 kg and 3163.72 kg; 29.11 kg and 28.71 kg respectively.

The incidence of PANDO may not be directly related to paranasal abnormalities. Further large-scale studies should be performed to clarify the relationship between paranasal abnormalities and PANDO.

Soft tissue damages after radiotherapy are an uncommon but serious complication. Late damage after radiation is the principal dose-limiting factor in radiation therapy today and is dependent on vascular pathology as a result of radiation. Pentoxifylline is a methylxanthine derivative that produces dose-related improvement in blood flow, lower blood viscosity, improved erythrocyte flexibility, and increased tissue oxygen levels. An agent that increases blood flow and tissue oxygen content may contribute to enhanced healing of soft tissue pathology. Sixteen adult New Zealand rabbits were separated into 2 groups and inspected for 30 weeks after radiation. We noted acute and chronic reactions and pathologic changes in different regions of the head and neck of rabbits. The prophylactic administration of pentoxifylline in the postirradiation period can reduce late soft tissue pathology, but it does not affect acute radiation reactions.
