“…These findings come in alignment with (Sumena, Lucy, Chungath, Ashok, & Harshan, 2010) who reported the maximum thickness of pig skin at the level of the snout. Moreover, there were previously published articles that clarify that skin layers thickness and their structures followed different factors as sex, age, surrounding environmental conditions, available nutrient materials, and so on (Akbari Bazm et al, 2020; Need, Morris, Horowitz, & Nordin, 1993). Moreover, the current study observed the presence of abundant numbers of melanocytes in the stratum basale, similar to that observed by (Moyo, Gomes, & Erlwanger, 2018) in the skin of the windsnyer and large white pigs meanwhile the Holbrook pig had less amount of melanin.…”

“…Moreover, Montagna and Lobitz (1964) recorded that pig skin has focal specialization at the level of the snout. Moreover, there were other anatomical descriptions of the skin of other mammalian species as; ferret (Martin et al, 2007) camel (Ansari‐Renani, Salehi, Ebadi, & Moradi, 2010), cat (Zanna et al, 2015), and (Akbari Bazm, Goodarzi, Abumandour, Naseri, & Hosseinipour, 2020). The pig uses the snout for exploring the food items, pushing the objects to flatten them, scooping, and leveraging out the thick roots (Stolba & Wood‐Gush, 1989; Yalden, 2001).…”

The present work attempted to provide a comprehensive description of the morphoanatomical, histological, and ultrastructural characteristics of the tongue in the desert hedgehog (Paraechinus aethiopicus), and to correlate lingual modifications to the feeding lifestyle. Five adult male hedgehogs were utilized in our investigation. The macroscopic observations revealed elongated, with a moderately pointed apex, tongue and the tongue dorsum lacks both lingual prominence and median sulcus. The main subdivisions of the tongue are radix linguae (root), corpus linguae (body), and apex linguae (apex). The tongue dorsum carries two types of mechanical (conical and filiform) and gustatory (fungiform and circumvallate) papillae. The lingual apex is characterized by the existence of a unique encapsulated muscular structure. Additionally, the lingual glands were interposed between the muscular strands and no lingual glands were detected on the lingual apex. The dorsal surface of the lingual apex exhibited the highest level of keratinization as revealed by histochemical staining while the root showed moderate staining. The topography of the tongue was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained results are important to provide basic knowledge that can contribute to better understanding of the nourishment, feeding habits and behavior in this species. Furthermore, the addition of the newly investigated species may help us to determine the evolutionary relationships among species.

This study represents the extraction of keratin from hedgehogs spines doped with Harmaline and Ginkgo Biloba, and electrospun on the surface of cotton fabric (animal rights laws were performed). The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to investigate the morphology of produced keratin Harmaline Ginkgo Biloba (KHG). The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows the weight loss of samples in different temperatures. The aim and goal of producing KHG on the cotton fabric surface was to use as band aid; therefore, the bactericidal and anti‐inflammatory of samples were investigated. The results show that the KHG band aid has about 95% bactericidal properties against both gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli). On the other hand, the results of oedema reduction on rats indicate that KHG band aid has good anti‐inflammatory property, which is near to the indomethacin. Furthermore, the MTT (3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide) analyses of KHG band aid and its cell viability demonstrate that the KHG band aid has very low cytotoxicity.
