Effects of pre-incubation storage duration and nonventilation incubation procedure on embryonic physiology and post-hatch chick performance. Poult Sci 2022; 101:101810. [PMID: 35358923 PMCID: PMC8968634 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2022.101810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 01/18/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the effects and possible interactions of storage and nonventilation during incubation for eggs from Sasso broiler breeder flock on pre- and post-hatch incubation results. A total of 1,260 Sasso eggs from a 58-wk-old broiler breeder flock were individually numbered, weighed and stored for 7 d or for 18 d in a climate-controlled room (16°C, 75% RH). After storage, eggs were weighed, and randomly assigned equally into 2 incubators. One of the incubators was ventilated (V) for the entire incubation and the second was nonventilated (NV) for the first 12 d. At d 18, the eggs were weighed, candled, and fertile eggs were transferred from the turning trays to hatching baskets. During the last 3 d of incubation, hatching eggs were checked individually every 3 h for hatching events and hatchability of fertile eggs. After pull out at d 21.5, post-hatch performances was determined until 1 wk of age. Results showed that, embryo weights from eggs in NV incubator was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in both stored eggs compared to those from eggs in ventilated incubator, but embryos from eggs stored for 18 d were smaller (P < 0.05) than those from eggs stored for 7 d. Hatchability was higher (P < 0.0001) in NV incubator compared to V incubator in both 7 d and 18 d stored eggs and an interaction was found between incubation ventilation and storage duration on both hatchability and embryonic mortality (P < 0.0001). Chick weights from NV incubator at 7 d post-hatch was greater (P = 0.0009) than those from V incubator. Serum Tri-iodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxin (T4) concentrations were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in NV compare to V group. It was concluded that the effect of long-term pre-incubation storage on embryonic physiology and post-hatch growth interacted significantly with incubation ventilation and that nonventilation can compensate for the negative effects of storage on some hatching and post-hatch performances.

Abstract
Osteoporotic fracture is fundamentally different from traumatic fracture. It is a pathological fracture based on the skeletal system in the state of osteoporosis, and the essence of its lesion is the decline of bone strength. Bone strength is influenced by a variety of factors, including the material properties and tissue structure of the bone, as well as muscle load. The pathological changes of osteoporotic fracture both of the damage of bone mass and bone quality. After the occurrence of osteoporotic fracture, even successful surgical treatment cannot prevent the further aggravation of osteoporotic bone damage. In this paper, the material properties and tissue structure damage of osteoporotic fractures are elaborated, and it is emphasized to clarify and pay attention to these bone lesions and their risks. Anti-osteoporosis treatment is of great importance to improve the clinical efficacy of osteoporosis and fracture intervention and prevent the occurrence of re-fractures.

A bibliometric review of peripartum cardiomyopathy compared to other cardiomyopathies using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Biophys Rev 2022; 14:381-401. [PMID: 35340600 PMCID: PMC8921361 DOI: 10.1007/s12551-022-00933-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
As developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning become more widespread in healthcare, their potential to transform clinical outcomes also increases. Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare and poorly-characterised condition that presents as heart failure in the last trimester prior to delivery or within 5-6 months postpartum. The lack of a definitive understanding of the molecular causes and clinical progress of this condition suggests that bibliometrics will be well-suited to creating new insights into this serious clinical problem. We examine similarities and differences between peripartum and its closely related familial dilated cardiomyopathy and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Using PubMed as the source of bibliometric data, we apply artificial intelligence-supported natural language processing to compare extracted data and genes association with these cardiomyopathies. Gene data were enhanced with additional metadata from third-party datasets and then analysed for their impact and specificity for peripartum cardiomyopathy. Artificial intelligence identified 14 genes that distinguished peripartum from both dilated and familial dilated cardiomyopathy. They are as follows: CTSD, RLN2, MMP23B*, SLC17A5, ST2*, PTHLH, CFH*, CFI, GPT, MR1, Rln1, SRI, STAT5A* and THBD. We then used the Human Protein Atlas website that uses affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibodies to identify genes that are expressed at the protein level (bold), or as RNA transcripts (*) in healthy human left ventricles. Additional analysis focussed on the full set of peripartum genes on linkage and specificity to cardiomyopathy yielded a different set of thirteen genes (bold font indicates those expressed in cardiomyocytes: PRL, RLN2, PLN, ST2, CTSD, F2, ACE, STAT3, TTN, SPP1, LGALS3, miR-146a, GNB3, SRI). This type of analysis can highlight new avenues for research, aimed at improving genomics-driven peripartum cardiomyopathy diagnosis as well as potential pathological and clinical sub-classification. We expect that this will allow for future improvements in identification, treatment and management of this condition. The first step in the application of these bibliometric-based artificial intelligence methods is to understand the current knowledge, and it is the aim of this paper to show how this might be achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In knee cartilage from patients with osteoarthritis (OA), both preserved cartilage and damaged cartilage are observed. In this study, we aim to compare preserved with damaged cartilage to identify the molecule(s) that may be responsible for the mechanical loading-induced differences within cartilage degradation. METHODS Preserved and damaged cartilage were harvested from the same OA knee joint. RNA Sequencing was performed to examine the transcriptomic differences between preserved and damaged cartilage cells. Estrogen receptor-α (ERα) was identified, and its function of was tested through gene knockin and knockout. The role of ERα in mediating chondrocyte response to mechanical loading was examined via compression of chondrocyte-laded hydrogel in a strain-controlled manner. Findings from the studies on human samples were verified in animal models. RESULTS Level of estrogen receptor α (ERα) was significantly reduced in damaged cartilage compared to preserved cartilage, which were observed in both human and mice samples. Knockdown of ESR1, the gene encoding ERα, resulted in an upregulation of senescence- and OA-relevant markers in chondrocytes. Conversely, knockin of ESR1 partially reversed the osteoarthritic and senescent phenotype of OA chondrocytes. Using a three-dimensional (3D) culture model, we demonstrated that mechanical overload significantly suppressed ERα level in chondrocytes with concomitant upregulation of osteoarthritic phenotype. When ESR1 expression was suppressed, mechanical loading enhanced hypertrophic and osteogenic transition. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates a new estrogen-independent role of ERα in mediating chondrocyte phenotype and its response to mechanical loading, and suggests that enhancing ERα level may represent a new method to treat osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Symmetry plays a central role in conventional and topological phases of matter, making the ability to optically drive symmetry changes a critical step in developing future technologies that rely on such control. Topological materials, like topological semimetals, are particularly sensitive to a breaking or restoring of time-reversal and crystalline symmetries, which affect both bulk and surface electronic states. While previous studies have focused on controlling symmetry via coupling to the crystal lattice, we demonstrate here an all-electronic mechanism based on photocurrent generation. Using second harmonic generation spectroscopy as a sensitive probe of symmetry changes, we observe an ultrafast breaking of time-reversal and spatial symmetries following femtosecond optical excitation in the prototypical type-I Weyl semimetal TaAs. Our results show that optically driven photocurrents can be tailored to explicitly break electronic symmetry in a generic fashion, opening up the possibility of driving phase transitions between symmetry-protected states on ultrafast timescales.

Abstract
Sirtuin2 (Sirt2) with its NAD+-dependent deacetylase and defatty-acylase activities plays a central role in the regulation of specific cellular functions. Dysregulation of Sirt2 activity has been associated with the pathogenesis of many diseases, thus making Sirt2 a promising target for pharmaceutical intervention. Herein, we present new high affinity Sirt2 selective Sirtuin-Rearranging Ligands (SirReals) that inhibit both Sirt2-dependent deacetylation and defatty-acylation in vitro and in cells. We show that simultaneous inhibition of both Sirt2 activities results in strongly reduced levels of the oncoprotein c-Myc and an inhibition of cancer cell migration. Furthermore, we describe the development of a NanoBRET-based assay for Sirt2, thereby providing a method to study cellular target engagement for Sirt2 in a straightforward and accurately quantifiable manner. Applying this assay, we could confirm cellular Sirt2 binding of our new Sirt2 inhibitors and correlate their anticancer effects with their cellular target engagement. Sirt2 inhibitors that show simultaneous inhibition of Sirt2 deacetylase and defatty-acylase activity block prostate cancer cell migration and their target engagement is shown by a newly developed NanoBRET assay.![]()

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of edaravone combined with oxiracetam on neuronal apoptosis in rats with cerebral infarction (CI) and to explore the potential molecular mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group (n=12), model group (n=12) and treatment group (n=12). Only the external carotid artery was exposed in sham-operation group, while the models of CI were established using suture method in the other two groups. After modeling, the rats in sham-operation group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline, and those in treatment group were administered with edaravone and oxiracetam solutions via intraperitoneal injection. Then, the specimens were obtained at 2 weeks after intervention. The cognitive function of the rats was evaluated using a water maze, Nissl staining was applied to observe the neuronal morphology, and the relative protein expressions of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and NF-κB were measured by means of Western blotting. Furthermore, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed to determine the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expressions of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-6, the content of IL-1β and IL-6 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was conducted to examine the cell apoptosis. RESULTS Model group displayed a significantly longer escape latency and significantly fewer times of crossing the original platform than sham-operation group (p<0.05), whereas treatment group had a significantly shorter escape latency but significantly more times of crossing the original platform than model group (p<0.05). The relative protein expression level of SIRT1 was lowered significantly, while that of NF-κB was elevated significantly in model group in comparison with those in sham-operation group (p<0.05), and the opposite results were observed between model group and treatment group (p<0.05). Besides, the content of IL-1β and IL-6 in brain tissues was increased significantly in model group compared with that in sham-operation group (p<0.05), but it was decreased significantly in treatment group in comparison with that in model group (p<0.05). The relative mRNA expression levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were significantly higher in model group than those in sham-operation group (p<0.05). Moreover, model group exhibited more positive apoptotic cells and a significantly higher apoptosis rate than sham-operation group (p<0.05) and treatment group (p<0.05). No apparent abnormalities of neuronal morphology and structure were detected in sham-operation group, with many Nissl bodies. The neurons were damaged, with abnormal morphology and structure, and there were a small number of Nissl bodies in model group. The neurons were damaged in treatment group, but their morphology and structure were improved evidently compared with those in model group. CONCLUSIONS Edaravone combined with oxiracetam can inhibit the neuronal apoptosis in CI rats by regulating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby exerting a neuroprotective effect.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a minimally invasive, image-guided approach to access lung lesions for biopsy or localization for treatment. However, no studies have reported prospective 24-month follow-up from a large, multinational, generalizable cohort. This study evaluated ENB safety, diagnostic yield, and usage patterns in an unrestricted, real-world observational design. METHODS The NAVIGATE single-arm, pragmatic cohort study (NCT02410837) enrolled subjects at 37 academic and community sites in 7 countries with prospective 24-month follow-up. Subjects underwent ENB using the superDimension navigation system versions 6.3 to 7.1. The prespecified primary endpoint was procedure-related pneumothorax requiring intervention or hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 1,388 subjects were enrolled for lung lesion biopsy (1,329; 95.7%), fiducial marker placement (272; 19.6%), dye marking (23; 1.7%), and/or lymph node biopsy (36; 2.6%). Concurrent endobronchial ultrasound-guided staging occurred in 456 subjects. General anesthesia (78.2% overall, 56.6% Europe, 81.4% US), radial endobronchial ultrasound (50.6%, 4.0%, 57.4%), fluoroscopy (85.0%, 41.7%, 91.0%), and rapid on-site evaluation use (61.7%, 17.3%, 68.5%) differed between regions. Pneumothorax and bronchopulmonary hemorrhage occurred in 4.7% and 2.7% of subjects, respectively (3.2% [primary endpoint] and 1.7% requiring intervention or hospitalization). Respiratory failure occurred in 0.6%. The diagnostic yield was 67.8% (range 61.9%-70.7%; 55.2% Europe, 69.8% US). Sensitivity for malignancy was 62.6%. Lung cancer clinical stage was I-II in 64.7% (55.3% Europe, 65.8% US). CONCLUSIONS Despite a heterogeneous cohort and regional differences in procedural techniques, ENB demonstrates low complications and a 67.8% diagnostic yield while allowing biopsy, staging, fiducial placement, and dye marking in a single procedure.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study,90Sr was used as the test radionuclide to characterize the sorption kinetics and effects of initial 90Sr activity and remaining 90Sr in solid concentration were simulated for a near-surface repository. The study focused on the sorption characteristics of radionuclides in unsaturated groundwater environment (or vadose zone) is the important information for investigating the near-surface disposal of intermediate and low-level radioactive waste (ILLW). Moreover, the 90Sr sorption experiments reached equilibrium within 56 h, which fit to the first order sorption kinetic model, and the remaining 90Sr in mudrock samples showed obvious sorption equilibrium hysteresis, which fit to the second order sorption kinetic model. Before reaching the maximum sorption capacity, the sorption rate constant increases with 90Sr increasing; the distribution coefficient (Kd) of 56 h decreases with the remaining 90Sr decreasing. In addition, it showed that the slow sorption process dominated before the sorption reaches equilibrium. In fact, a reliable safety assessment methodology for on-going near-surface repository required a lot of the radionuclides parameters with local environment including the radionuclides sorption/desorption rate constant and maximum sorption capacity.
