Starting 24 h postpartum, ultrasonographic measurements were performed on the placental and interplacental uterine horn regions every day. Decreases in the diameters and uterine content were considered as criteria for uterine involution. Vaginal discharge samples were collected every day for 4 weeks postpartum. The smears were stained with Papanicolaou stain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average diameters of placental and interplacental regions (IPRs) in the uterine horns were 3.12 \u00b1 0.29 cm and 2.36 \u00b1 0.43 cm, respectively, at 24 h postpartum. Placental regions (PRs) shrank faster than IPRs. At 48 h postpartum, it became difficult to distinguish PRs from IPRs in the uterine horns. The uterine horns could be seen in the abdominal cavity up to 5.60 \u00b1 0.99 days postpartum. The mean of the last assessable diameter of the uterine horns from days 4 to 7 in all cats was 0.49 \u00b1 0.07 cm. The vaginal epithelial cells appeared to be under the effect of oestrogen for 4 weeks postpartum.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The morphological involution of the uterus completes, to a large extent, within the first 48 h postpartum in Van cats. A more detailed hormonal analysis would contribute greatly to the understanding of the physiological processes involved in this period. Although postpartum involution appeared complete by 5.60 \u00b1 0.99 days after parturition in Van cats, histological verification of this finding is needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612x15598546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,21]],"date-time":"2015-08-21T21:30:33Z","timestamp":1440192633000},"page":"954-958","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Postpartum uterus involution observed by real-time ultrasound scanning and vaginal cytology in Van cats"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Sait","family":"Sendag","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammet","family":"Alan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, Osmangazi University, Eski\u015fehir, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Funda","family":"Eski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, \u00c7ukurova University, Adana, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sema","family":"Uslu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histology and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baris A","family":"Uslu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Reproduction and Artificial Insemination, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yuzuncu Yil University, Van, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Axel","family":"Wehrend","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Small Animal Clinic of the University of Giessen, Gynaecology and Andrology, Giessen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1095\/biolreprod31.5.870"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0093-691X(91)90332-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","first-page":"741","volume-title":"Canine and feline endocrinology and reproduction","author":"Feldman EC","year":"1996","unstructured":"Feldman EC, Nelson RW.
