Abstract
A captive adult male giant panda (Guangzhou Chimelong Safari Park, CHINA) presented with azoospermia and enlarged left testicle. A tentative diagnosis of testicular neoplasia was made, and confirmed as testicular seminoma cases by testicular ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), testicular biopsy, and tumor marker examination findings. Based on the diagnostic results, the treatment of choice was surgical resection of the testicular tumor under general anesthesia. And the histopathological findings of the excised neoplasm were consistent with those of testicular seminoma. In addition, no tumor recurrence was observed after surgery, which indicates that our surgical and post-operative treatments were effective. The surgical treatment adopted in this case report is safe for patients and provides the best solution for the diagnosis and treatment of giant panda testicular seminoma. To our knowledge this is the first detailed report of surgical resection of testicular seminoma in the giant panda.

Abstract
We report here the first observation of directed flow (v_{1}) of the hypernuclei _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H in mid-central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy scan program carried out by the STAR experiment. From 165×10^{6} events in 5%-40% centrality, about 8400 _{Λ}^{3}H and 5200 _{Λ}^{4}H candidates are reconstructed through two- and three-body decay channels. We observe that these hypernuclei exhibit significant directed flow. Comparing to that of light nuclei, it is found that the midrapidity v_{1} slopes of _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H follow baryon number scaling, implying that the coalescence is the dominant mechanism for these hypernuclei production in the 3 GeV Au+Au collisions.

Abstract
In nature, arsenic is mostly found in the form of inorganic compounds. Inorganic arsenic compounds have a variety of uses and are currently used in the manufacture of pesticides, preservatives, pharmaceuticals, etc. While inorganic arsenic is widely used, arsenic pollution is increasing worldwide. Public hazards caused by arsenic contamination of drinking water and soil are becoming increasingly evident. Epidemiological and experimental studies have linked inorganic arsenic exposure to the development of many diseases, including cognitive impairment, cardiovascular failure, cancer, etc. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the effects caused by arsenic, such as oxidative damage, DNA methylation, and protein misfolding. Understanding the toxicology and potential molecular mechanisms of arsenic can help mitigate its harmful effects. Therefore, this paper reviews the multiple organ toxicity of inorganic arsenic in animals, focusing on the various toxicity mechanisms of arsenic-induced diseases in animals. In addition, we have summarized several drugs that can have therapeutic effects on arsenic poisoning in pursuit of reducing the harm of arsenic contamination from different pathways.

Abstract
We report the triton (t) production in midrapidity (|y|<0.5) Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The nuclear compound yield ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}), which is predicted to be sensitive to the fluctuation of local neutron density, is observed to decrease monotonically with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dN_{ch}/dη) and follows a scaling behavior. The dN_{ch}/dη dependence of the yield ratio is compared to calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Enhancements in the yield ratios relative to the coalescence baseline are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV, with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, giving a combined significance of 4.1σ. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions or model calculations without critical fluctuation, and decreases with a smaller p_{T} acceptance. The physics implications of these results on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Compared with thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has the advantage of post-operative recovery for patients undergoing surgery. However, studies comparing the efficacy of VATS with conventional traditional thoracotomy for treating patients with pulmonary TB (PTB) are inconsistent.METHODS: Five electronic databases were used to search studies on VATS and conventional thoracotomy for PTB up to 15 March 2022. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) and odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for comparison.RESULTS: A total of 14 were included. Compared with traditional thoracotomy, patients with drug-resistant TB treated using VATS had shorter operative time, less intra-operative bleeding, faster post-operative recovery and fewer post-operative complications (operation time: SMD -0.87, 95% CI -1.29 to -0.45; blood loss: SMD -1.31, 95% CI -1.71 to -0.92; duration of hospital stay: SMD -1.68, 95% CI -2.46 to -0.90; catheterisation time: SMD -1.56, 95% CI -2.39 to -0.73; post-operative complication: OR 0.40, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.60).CONCLUSION: Compared with conventional thoracotomy, VATS for patients with multidrug-resistant PTB undergoing lobectomy and wedge resection has the advantages of minor bleeding, shorter operative time, shorter hospital stay and post-operative pleural cavity drainage duration, and fewer post-operative complications, which can accelerate the post-operative recovery of patients.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is one of the essential trace elements and is widespread in the environment. However, excessive exposure will induce toxicity in animals. To investigate the potential mechanisms of Cu-induced porcine spleen toxicity, sixty 30-day-old pigs were randomly divided into three groups. The control group was fed a basal diet and two treatment groups were separately fed the diet with 125 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg of Cu for 80 days. The result of immunohistochemical staining showed that the autophagy marker p62 was significantly increased under Cu exposure, and the immunofluorescence results showed the same trend as LC33-. Meanwhile, Cu intensified autophagy by increasing the expression levels of autophagy-related genes and proteins (LC3, p62, ATG5, Beclin1, and PINK1). These results suggested that long-term Cu exposure induced excessive autophagy in the porcine spleen, laying the groundwork for future studies on Cu-induced immunotoxicity in the spleen and increasing the public safety awareness of the excessive Cu-induced contamination in the environment.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) as a neurotoxic environmental pollutant has attracted extensive attention. Curcumin (Cur) is a natural antioxidant that shows an excellent protective effect against arsenic trioxide (ATO)-induced toxicity in many animal organs. However, the mechanism of Cur against ATO-induced hypothalamic toxicity in ducks has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, ducks were treated with ATO and/or Cur during 28 days; the results showed that ATO exposure induced growth retardation, messy feathers, and abnormal posture in ducks. Moreover, ATO caused neuron vacuolar degeneration and disintegration in the hypothalamus of ducks. Simultaneously, ATO induced blood-brain barrier damage, downregulated the expression of ZO-1, Occludin, and mediated NF-κB activation, resulting in an increase in inflammatory factors (TLR-4, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-6). Furthermore, ATO increased the production of pyroptosis-related factors (Caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1), exacerbating the inflammatory damage through NLRP3-mediated inflammasome activation. Cur, on the other hand, exerted excellent inhibitory effects on inflammation and pyroptosis. In summary, our study revealed that ATO triggered inflammation and pyroptosis by modulating NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathways in the hypothalamus of ducks, and Cur can alleviate inflammation and pyroptosis caused by ATO. Therefore, as a plant extract, Cur has the potential to prevent and cure ATO-induced hypothalamus toxicity.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is known as a major microvascular complication in type 1 diabetes. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and pyroptosis play a critical role in the pathological process of DN, but their mechanism in DN has been litter attention. MAIN METHODS Here, we firstly used large mammal beagles as DN model for 120 d to explored the mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated pyroptosis in DN. Meanwhile, 4-Phenylbutytic acid (4-PBA) and BYA 11-7082 were added in the MDCK (Madin-Daby canine kidney) cells by high glucose (HG) treatment. ER stress and pyroptosis related factors expression levels were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and quantitative real-time PCR assay. KEY FINDINGS We identified that glomeruli atrophy, renal capsules were increased, and renal tubules thickened in diabetes. Masson and PAS staining resulted showed that the collagen fibers and glycogen were accumulated in kidney. Meanwhile, the ER stress and pyroptosis-related factors were significantly activated in vitro. Importantly, 4-PBA significantly inhibited the ER stress, which also alleviated the HG-induced pyroptosis in MDCK cells. Furthermore, BYA 11-7082 could reduce the expression levels of NLRP3 and GSDMD genes and proteins. SIGNIFICANCE These data provide evidence for ER stress contributes to pyroptosis through NF-κΒ/ΝLRP3 pathway in canine type 1 diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is listed as one of the main heavy metal pollutants, which poses potential health risks to humans. Excessive intake of Cu has shown toxic effects on the organs of many animals, and the liver is one of the most important organs to metabolize it. In this study, pigs, the mammal with similar metabolic characteristics to humans, were selected to assess the effects of long-term exposure to Cu on mitochondria-mediated apoptosis, which are of great significance for studying the toxicity of Cu to humans. Pigs were fed a diet with different contents of Cu (10, 125, and 250 mg/kg) for 80 days. Samples of blood and liver tissue were collected on days 40 and 80. Experimental results demonstrated that the accumulation of Cu in the liver was increased in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. Meanwhile, the curve of pig's body weight showed that a 125 mg/kg Cu diet promoted the growth of pigs during the first 40 days and then inhibited it from 40 to 80 days, while the 250 mg/kg Cu diet inhibited the growth of pigs during 80 days of feeding. Additionally, the genes and protein expression levels of Caspase-3, p53, Bax, Bak1, Bid, Bad, CytC, and Drp1 in the treatment group were higher than that in the control group, while Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Opa1, Mfn1, and Mfn2 were decreased. In conclusion, these results indicated that long-term excessive intake of Cu could inhibit the growth of pigs and induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis by breaking the mitochondrial dynamic balance. Synopsis: Long-term exposure to high doses of Cu could lead to mitochondrial dysfunction by breaking the mitochondrial dynamic balance, which ultimately induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in the liver of pigs. This might be closely related to the growth inhibition and liver damage in pigs.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element, but it is also a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that threatens public health. Cuproptosis is a recently discovered cell death mode that unlike other programmed cell death, characterized by proteotoxic stress due to lipoylated protein aggregation and iron-sulfur cluster protein loss. Chickens as a high-trophic-level non-mammalian vertebrate that easily absorb and accumulate copper from the environment and food, but it is unclear whether the underlying molecular mechanisms that cause their hepatotoxicity under natural copper stress are related to cuproptosis. Therefore, we established animal models of chickens with different concentrations of copper exposure to dissect the role and mechanism of cuproptosis in chicken hepatotoxicity under natural copper stress. Our histopathological and biochemical results demonstrated that the liver structure with copper-treated exhibited dose-dependent damage. Meanwhile, copper treatment also dramatically increased serum and liver copper content and activated the expression of the membrane-associated copper transporter ATP7B. Furthermore, we found that Cu-exposure significantly increased the MDA content, and reduced the levels of T-AOC and SOD in serum and liver. Additionally, we found that the mRNA and protein levels of FDX1 were significantly upregulated in the 220 and 330 mg/kg Cu-treated groups. In our further studies, we found that copper did not alter protein levels of DLAT and DLST in chicken liver, but significantly increased Lipoylated-DLAT levels and oligomerization of Lipoylated-DLAT in the 330 mg/kg Cu-treatment group. Overall, we identified that FDX1-mediated protein lipoylation and proteotoxic stress indeed participate in copper-induced hepatotoxicity in chickens. Our results present novel insight into the pathogenesis of copper-induced hepatotoxicity in chickens and provide data to support filling in the role of cuproptosis in birds.

Abstract
We report on measurements of sequential ϒ suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through both the dielectron and dimuon decay channels. In the 0%-60% centrality class, the nuclear modification factors (R_{AA}), which quantify the level of yield suppression in heavy-ion collisions compared to p+p collisions, for ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) are 0.40±0.03(stat)±0.03(sys)±0.09(norm) and 0.26±0.08(stat)±0.02(sys)±0.06(norm), respectively, while the upper limit of the ϒ(3S) R_{AA} is 0.17 at a 95% confidence level. This provides experimental evidence that the ϒ(3S) is significantly more suppressed than the ϒ(1S) at RHIC. The level of suppression for ϒ(1S) is comparable to that observed at the much higher collision energy at the Large Hadron Collider. These results point to the creation of a medium at RHIC whose temperature is sufficiently high to strongly suppress excited ϒ states.

Abstract
Arsenic is a common environmental pollutant and poses a serious threat to human and animal health. In this study, we used the ducks to mimic arsenic trioxide (ATO) exposure and investigated the mechanism of cardiac toxicity. The results indicated that ATO inhibited the body and organ growth of ducks, led to an increase in LDH content, and caused obvious deformity, ischemia infarction. It is found that ATO exacerbated the swell of mitochondrial and the contraction of cell nuclei in the heart of ducks through transmission electron microscopy (TEM). ATO also induced an increase in MDA content; inhibited the activation of the Nrf 2 pathway; downregulated the expression of mRNA and protein of Nrf 2, HO-1, and SOD-1; and upregulated the expression of mRNA and protein of Keap 1. At the same time, ATO induced apoptosis which not only upregulated the expression levels of mRNA and proteins (Caspase 3, Cyt-C, P53, Bax) but also decreased the mRNA and protein expression level of Bcl-2. These results indicated that ATO can lead to oxidative stress and apoptosis in the heart of ducks. In general, our research shows that ATO triggers mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and apoptosis via Nrf 2/Caspase 3 signaling pathway in the heart of ducks.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for growth and development in most organisms. However, environmental exposure to high doses of Cu can damage multiple organs. To investigate the underlying mechanism of Cu toxicity on mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in the cerebrum of pigs, 60 30-day-old pigs were randomly divided into three groups and treated with different contents of anhydrous Cu sulfate in the diets (Cu 10 mg/kg, control group; Cu 125 mg/kg, group I; Cu 250 mg/kg, group II) for 80 days. The Cu levels and histological changes in the cerebrum were measured. Moreover, the protein and mRNA expression levels related to mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics were determined. The results showed that the contents of Cu were increased in the cerebrum with increasing dietary Cu. Vacuolar degeneration was found in group I and group II compared to the control group. Additionally, the protein and mRNA expression levels of PINK1, Parkin, and Drp1 and the protein level of LC3-II were remarkably upregulated with increasing levels of dietary Cu. Nevertheless, the protein and mRNA expression levels of MFN1 and MFN2 and the mRNA expression of P62 were obviously downregulated in a Cu dose-dependent manner. Overall, these results suggested that excess Cu could trigger mitochondrial dynamics disorder and mitophagy in the pig cerebrum, which provided a novel insight into Cu-induced toxicology.

Beam Energy Dependence of Fifth- and Sixth-Order Net-Proton Number Fluctuations in Au+Au Collisions at RHIC. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2023; 130:082301.

Abstract
We report the beam energy and collision centrality dependence of fifth and sixth order cumulants (C_{5}, C_{6}) and factorial cumulants (κ_{5}, κ_{6}) of net-proton and proton number distributions, from center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) 3 GeV to 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Cumulant ratios of net-proton (taken as proxy for net-baryon) distributions generally follow the hierarchy expected from QCD thermodynamics, except for the case of collisions at 3 GeV. The measured values of C_{6}/C_{2} for 0%-40% centrality collisions show progressively negative trend with decreasing energy, while it is positive for the lowest energy studied. These observed negative signs are consistent with QCD calculations (for baryon chemical potential, μ_{B}≤110 MeV) which contains the crossover transition range. In addition, for energies above 7.7 GeV, the measured proton κ_{n}, within uncertainties, does not support the two-component (Poisson+binomial) shape of proton number distributions that would be expected from a first-order phase transition. Taken in combination, the hyperorder proton number fluctuations suggest that the structure of QCD matter at high baryon density, μ_{B}∼750 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV is starkly different from those at vanishing μ_{B}∼24 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and higher collision energies.

Lyciumbarbarum polysaccharides ameliorate canine acute liver injury by reducing oxidative stress, protecting mitochondrial function, and regulating metabolic pathways.

Abstract
The development of acute liver injury can result in liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer, yet there is currently no effective therapy for it. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect and therapeutic mechanism of Lyciumbarbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). To create a model of acute liver injury, experimental canines received an intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL/kg of CCl4 solution. The experimental canines in the therapy group were then fed LBPs (20 mg/kg). CCl4-induced liver structural damage, excessive fibrosis, and reduced mitochondrial density were all improved by LBPs, according to microstructure data. By suppressing Kelch-like epichlorohydrin (ECH)-associated protein 1 (Keap1), promoting the production of sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1)/p62, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and phase II detoxification genes and proteins downstream of Nrf2, and restoring the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes like catalase (CAT), LBPs can restore and increase the antioxidant capacity of liver. To lessen mitochondrial damage, LBPs can also enhance mitochondrial respiration, raise tissue adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, and reactivate the respiratory chain complexes I‒V. According to serum metabolomics, the therapeutic impact of LBPs on acute liver damage is accomplished mostly by controlling the pathways to lipid metabolism. 9-Hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE), lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC/LPC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) may be potential indicators of acute liver injury. This study confirmed that LBPs, an effective hepatoprotective drug, may cure acute liver injury by lowering oxidative stress, repairing mitochondrial damage, and regulating metabolic pathways.

Abstract
A large amount of copper (Cu) used in production activities can lead to the enrichment of Cu in the environment, which can cause toxicity to animals. However, the toxicity mechanism of Cu on the cerebrum is still uncertain. Hence, a total of 240 chickens were separated into four groups in this study to reveal the potential connection between mitophagy and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-mediated apoptosis in the chicken cerebrum in the case of excess Cu exposure. The cu exposure situation was simulated by diets containing various levels of copper (11 mg/kg, control group; 110 mg/kg, group I; 220 mg/kg, group II and 330 mg/kg, group III) for 49 days. The results of histology showed that vacuolar degeneration was observed in the treated groups, and the mitochondria swell and autophagosomes formation were found under excess Cu treatment. Additionally, the expression of mitophagy (PINK1, Parkin, LC3I, LC3II and p62) and ER stress (GRP78, PERK, ATF6, IRE1α, XBP1, CHOP, and JNK) indexes were significantly upregulated under excess Cu exposure. Furthermore, the mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2 were decreased, while Bak1, Bax, Caspase12, and Caspase3 were increased compared to the control group. In summary, this study demonstrated that an overdose of Cu could induce mitophagy and ER stress-mediated apoptosis in the chicken cerebrum. These findings revealed an important potential connection between Cu toxicity and cerebrum damage, which provided a new insight into Cu neurotoxicity.

MitomiR-504 alleviates the copper-induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis by suppressing Bak1 expression in porcine jejunal epithelial cells. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 858:160157.

Abstract
Copper (Cu), an environmental heavy metal pollutant, has been widely researched in its toxicology. Recently, an increasing number of mitochondrial microRNAs (mitomiRs) have been shown to involve in the metabolic regulation. However, the underlying mechanisms of mitomiRs on regulating apoptosis under Cu exposure are still unclear. Here, we proved that Cu induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in porcine jejunal epithelial cells, concomitant with distinct reduction of mitomiR-504 in vivo and in vitro. The miR-504 mimic notably enhanced the mRNA and protein expressions of Bak1, Bax, Cleaved-caspase3 and Caspase-9, and significantly decreased the apoptosis rate and Bcl-2 mRNA and protein levels, indicating that overexpression of mitomiR-504 attenuated the Cu-induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Besides, Bak1 was confirmed as a direct target of mitomiR-504 by the bioinformatics analysis and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Subsequently, transfection of siRNA targeting Bak1 significantly enhanced the alleviating effect of miR-504 mimic on the Cu-induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Overall, these suggested that overexpression of mitomiR-504 alleviated the Cu-induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in jejunal epithelial cells by suppressing Bak1 expression. These findings are conducive to elucidating the mechanism of Cu-induced jejunal epithelial pathologies, providing a new research idea for the Cu toxicology.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as the most toxic secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus flavus, is a serious threat to human and animal health. Curcumin, a polyphenol from the plant turmeric, has demonstrated unique anti-damage properties in several studies. But, its ability to alleviate AFB1-induced liver damage in ducks and the underlying mechanisms are not completely elucidated. In this study, we investigated the intervention of curcumin on AFB1-induced hepatotoxicity in ducks. Research data showed that the combination of curcumin and AFB1 alleviated oxidative stress, reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation and relieved hepatotoxicity after 28 days of treatment, compared with AFB1. Also, curcumin upregulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream antioxidant enzymes (SOD, HO-1), which enhanced the antioxidant capacity of the liver. In addition, curcumin inhibited AFB1-induced lysosomal damage in the liver, with the character of reduced lysosomal membrane permeabilization, restored autophagic flux, and promoted lysosomal biogenesis, thereby enhancing the self-protective capacity of the liver. In conclusion, our results suggest that curcumin alleviates AFB1-induced duck hepatotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress and lysosomal damage.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by insulin deficiency and often accompanied by hypercholesterolemia. NAC is an effective antioxidative drug, but its application in the treatment of diabetes is still rare. A total of forty beagles were randomly divided into five groups: control group, DM group, INS group, INS with NAC group, and NAC group. The experiment lasted for 120 days. Results revealed that biochemical criterion increased in the DM group, while the indicators significantly decreased on the INS combined with NAC treatment group. Moreover, the insulin released test demonstrated that the model of T1DM was successfully constructed. The result of B ultrasound of gallbladder showed remarkable cholestasis in DM group. The cholesterol metabolism-related enzyme activity (HMGCR and SQLE) was evidently increased in DM group, but decreased in INS and NAC group. The content of TG, LDL-c, and HDL-c in liver was detected by the kit, and it was found that the content of TG, LDL-c, and HDL-c in DM group were reduced. Histopathological observation revealed that the cholestasis of liver cells and hepatic cords were disordered in DM group, the symptoms were alleviated under INS and NAC treatment. Additionally, the protein and mRNA expression of HMGCR and LDLR were obviously increased in DM group, but down regulated in INS and NAC treatment group. Overall, the liver function injury and secondary hypercholesterolemia can be found in T1DM canines, and NAC can relieve cholesterol metabolism disorder in the treatment of canine T1DM.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus, and hyperglycemia and hypertension are the main risk factors for the development of DN. N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) has a variety of effects, interfering with the production and scavenging of free radicals and regulating the metabolic activity of tissue cells. However, the efficacy of NAC on DN treatment is unclear. Thus, this study investigated the protective mechanism of NAC combined with insulin on renal injury in dogs with DN. The forty dogs were selected and divided into control group, DM group, INS group, INS + NAC group and NAC group to establish the model for a trial period of 4 months. The results revealed that INS + NAC was effective in reducing and stabilizing blood glucose levels. Biochemical results showed that INS + NAC treatment significantly regulated the stability of UREA, CREA and fructosamine indicators. Meanwhile, histopathology staining showed significant glomerular wrinkling and fibrosis in the DM group, which could be reversed after INS + NAC treatment. In addition, INS + NAC could restore mitochondria homeostasis by upregulating the levels of mitochondrial fission (MFN1, MFN2 and OPA1) and inhibiting of mitochondrial fusion (DRP1, FIS1 and MFF) related indicators. Further studies revealed that INS + NAC regulated the expression levels of renal BNIP3, NIX and FUNDC1 in the DM group, thereby alleviating mitophagy. Collectively, these results suggested that NAC combined with insulin protects DN by regulating the mitochondrial dynamics and FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is a common environmental pollutant which has been identified to cause toxic effects on animal bodies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNAs involved in the regulation of various cellular activities including autophagy, but the potential regulatory mechanisms after excess Cu intake are still uncertain. Our previous study has prompted that Cu exposure reduced liver miR-455-3p levels. Herein, miR-455-3p was found to be an important molecule in the regulation of Cu-induced autophagy in vivo and in vitro. Histopathology observation of liver tissue indicated that Cu-induced severe hepatic damage including cellular swelling and vacuolization. Meanwhile, excessive Cu exposure not only heighten the mRNA and protein expression levels of Beclin1, Atg5, LC3Ⅰ and LC3Ⅱ, but also decreased miR-455-3p levels. In vitro experiment, Cu-induced autophagy can be attenuated by miR-455-3p overexpression. Additionally, oxidative stress-responsive 1 (OXSR1) was identified as a direct downstream target of miR-455-3p by dual luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, knockdown of OXSR1 can attenuate the autophagy induced by Cu treatment and the miR-455-3p inhibitor. Overall, the miR-455-3p-OXSR1 axis works as a regulator of autophagy under Cu stress, which provides a basis for further revealing the mechanism of chronic Cu poisoning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Observational studies have reported associations between dried fruit intake and DNA methylation(DNAm). However, inherent flaws in observational study designs make them susceptible to confounding and reverse causality bias. Consequently, it is unclear whether a causal association exists. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the causal associations between dried fruit intake and DNAm. METHODS We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) using the IEU Open GWAS database aggregated data. Forty-three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with dried fruit intake as instrumental variables (IVs) were selected as exposure. DNAm outcomes include Gran (estimated granulocyte proportions); AgeAccelGrim(GrimAge acceleration); Hannum (Hannum age acceleration); IEAA(Intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration), AgeAccelPheno( PhenoAge acceleration), and DNAmPAIadjAge (DNAm-estimated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 levels). We used the MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier test (MRPRESSO) and Radial-MR test to identify any level of multi-effect outliers and assessed the causal effect estimates(after removing outliers). The primary causal effects were estimated using inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method and undertook sensitivity analyses using MR methods robust to horizontal pleiotropy.The direct effects of dried fruit intake on DNAm were estimated using multivariable mendelian randomization (MVMR). RESULTS Leveraging two-sample MR analysis, we observed statistically significant associations between dried fruit intake with a lower AgeAccelGrim(β=-1.365, 95% confidence intervals [CI] -2.266 to -0.464, PIVW=2.985×10-3) and AgeAccelPheno (β= -1.933, 95% CI -3.068 to -0.798, PIVW=8.371×10-4). By contrast, the effects level on Gran (β=0.008, PIVW=0.430), Hannum(β=-0.430, PIVW=0.357), IEAA(β=-0.184, PIVW=0.700), and DNAmPAIadjAge (β=-1.861, PIVW=0.093) were not statistically significant. MVMR results adjusting for the potential effects of confounders showed that the causal relationship between dried fruit intake and AgeAccelGrim(β= -1.315, 95% CI -2.373 to -0.258, PIVW=1.480×10-2) and AgeAccelPheno(β= -1.595, 95% CI -2.987 to -0.202, PIVW=2.483×10-2) persisted. No significant horizontal polymorphism was found in the sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSION Our MR study suggested that increased dried fruit intake is associated with slower AgeAccelGrim and AgeAccelPheno. It can providing a promising avenue for exploring the beneficial effects of dried fruit intake on lifespan extension.

Abstract
Goose astroviruses (GoAstV) cause fatal gout and decrease product performance in the waterfowl industry across the world. Since no effective vaccines are available, studies on the epidemiology of the virus are necessary for vaccine development. In this study, we collected 94 gout samples from goose farms in the Guangdong Province of South China. Among them, 87 samples (92.6%) tested positive for GoAstV, out of which five GoAstV strains were isolated after four generations of blind transmission through healthy 13-day-old goose embryos. The whole genome of the isolates was sequenced and further analyzed by comparing the sequences with published sequences from China and other parts of the world. The results of the alignment analysis showed that nucleotide sequence similarities among the five GoAstV isolates were around 97.4-98.8%, 98.6-100%, 98.1-99.8%, and 96.7-100% for the whole genome, ORF1a, ORF1b, and ORF2, respectively. These results showed that the GoAstV isolates were highly similar to each other, although they were prevalent in five different regions of the Guangdong Province. The results of the phylogenetic analysis showed that the whole genome, along with the ORF1a, ORF1b, and ORF2 genes of the isolates, were clustered on a single branch, along with the recently published GoAstV-2, and were very distinct from the DNA sequences of the GoAstV-1 virus. In this study, we also reproduced the clinical symptoms of natural infection using the GoAstV-GD2101 isolates, confirming that the gout-causing pathogen in goslings was the goose astrovirus. These findings provided new insights into the pathogenicity and genetic evolution of GoAstV and laid the foundation for effectively controlling the disease.

Abstract
Elliptic flow measurements from two-, four-, and six-particle correlations are used to investigate flow fluctuations in collisions of U+U at sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV, Cu+Au at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and Au+Au spanning the range sqrt[s_{NN}]=11.5-200 GeV. The measurements show a strong dependence of the flow fluctuations on collision centrality, a modest dependence on system size, and very little if any, dependence on particle species and beam energy. The results, when compared to similar LHC measurements, viscous hydrodynamic calculations, and trento model eccentricities, indicate that initial-state-driven fluctuations predominate the flow fluctuations generated in the collisions studied.
