Diagnostic cytology is an initial laboratory testing to diagnose various types of cancer, infections and inflammatory diseases. The collection and processing of cytological specimens are very important to produce good quality specimens for accurate and reliable cytological interpretations. In this study, 208 cytologic specimens were obtained from 26 dogs that have diagnosed of canine mammary gland tumors. The quantitative of cellular intensity in staining quality was evaluated in varying interval time of post air-dried smear by usage of light microscope and computer software. The results showed that the intensity of cells, nucleus, cytoplasm, and the percentage of neoplastic cells with distinct cell boundaries, which were parameters indicating staining quality, were statistical significant at all period of post air-dried smear when compared to specimens immediately stained (p<0.05). In conclusion, the results were demonstrated that any delay in staining post air-dried smears affected the cellular intensity and consequence adversely affected the quality of cytologic specimens.

Electrocution death and pathological findings with the metallization in wild elephant: case report
(2018) Wasinee Thepapichaikul; Panop wilainam; Parin Suwannaprapha; วาสินี เทพอภิชัยกุล; ภานพ วิไลนาม; ปริญ สุวรรณประภา; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. คณะสัตวแพทยศาสตร์. โรงพยาบาลสัตว์และสัตว์ป่าปศุปาลัน; มหาวิทยาลัยมหิดล. คณะสัตวแพทยศาสตร์. ภาควิชาปรีคลินิกและสัตวศาสตร์ประยุกต์
An about 20-year-old, male wild elephant was found dead on the road and electrocution was suspected to be the cause. Electrocution of wild elephants was rarely documented. On necropsy examination, an electrical mark may be the only external appearance with no appearance of specific gross lesions on the internal organs. The pathologist will use evidence from the scene with histopathological investigation to make the diagnosis of the cause of death. The necropsy determined electrical marks on the trunk and legs of the elephant, while hemorrhage and congestion were found in the lungs, heart and omentum. Microscopically, skin showed epidermal separation with streaming cytonuclear elongation. The metallization of iron and copper were presented on the electric skin burn. The myocardium was fragmented and presented as square nuclei. These findings were typical morphologic changes that supported the differential diagnosis of skin lesions and internal organ damage caused by electrocution. This is the first description of a post-mortem with distinctive histopathologic investigation in electrocution of wild elephant.
