Abstract
The growth and development of bovine skeletal muscle and beef yield is closely intertwined. Our previous research found that forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) plays an important role in the regulation of beef muscle formation, but its specific mechanism is still unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the regulatory mechanism of FOXO1 in proliferation and differentiation of bovine skeletal muscle cells (BSMCs). The results showed that interfering with FOXO1 can promote proliferation and the cell G1/S phase of BSMCs by up-regulating the expression of PCNA, CDK1, CDK2, CCNA2, CCNB1, CCND1 and CCNE2. Besides, interfering with FOXO1 inhibited the apoptosis of BSMCs by up-regulating the expression of anti-apoptosis gene BCL2, while simultaneously down-regulating the expression of the pro-apoptosis genes BAD and BAX. Inversely, interfering with FOXO1 can promote the differentiation of BSMCs by up-regulating the expression of myogenic differentiation marker genes MYOD, MYOG, MYF5, MYF6 and MYHC. Furthermore, RNA-seq combined with western bolt, immunofluorescence and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that FOXO1 could regulate BSMCs differentiation process by influencing PI3K-Akt, Relaxin and TGF-beta signaling pathways, and target MYH3 for transcriptional inhibition. In conclusion, this study provides a basis for studying the role and molecular mechanism of FOXO1 in BSMCs.

Abstract
Importance Prehypertension increases the risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Early and effective intervention for patients with prehypertension is highly important. Objective To assess the efficacy of Tai Chi vs aerobic exercise in patients with prehypertension. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective, single-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted between July 25, 2019, and January 24, 2022, at 2 tertiary public hospitals in China. Participants included 342 adults aged 18 to 65 years with prehypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 120 to 139 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP (DBP) of 80 to 89 mm Hg. Interventions Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to a Tai Chi group (n = 173) or an aerobic exercise group (n = 169). Both groups performed four 60-minute supervised sessions per week for 12 months. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was SBP at 12 months obtained in the office setting. Secondary outcomes included SBP at 6 months and DBP at 6 and 12 months obtained in the office setting and 24-hour ambulatory BP at 12 months. Results Of the 1189 patients screened, 342 (mean [SD] age, 49.3 [11.9] years; 166 men [48.5%] and 176 women [51.5%]) were randomized to 1 of 2 intervention groups: 173 to Tai Chi and 169 to aerobic exercise. At 12 months, the change in office SBP was significantly different between groups by -2.40 (95% CI, -4.39 to -0.41) mm Hg (P = .02), with a mean (SD) change of -7.01 (10.12) mm Hg in the Tai Chi group vs -4.61 (8.47) mm Hg in the aerobic exercise group. The analysis of office SBP at 6 months yielded similar results (-2.31 [95% CI, -3.94 to -0.67] mm Hg; P = .006). Additionally, 24-hour ambulatory SBP (-2.16 [95% CI, -3.84 to -0.47] mm Hg; P = .01) and nighttime ambulatory SBP (-4.08 [95% CI, -6.59 to -1.57] mm Hg; P = .002) were significantly reduced in the Tai Chi group compared with the aerobic exercise group. Conclusions and Relevance In this study including patients with prehypertension, a 12-month Tai Chi intervention was more effective than aerobic exercise in reducing SBP. These findings suggest that Tai Chi may help promote the prevention of cardiovascular disease in populations with prehypertension. Trial Registration Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Identifier: ChiCTR1900024368.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the risk factors for esophageal adenocarcinoma is achalasia, an esophageal motility disorder that is typically treated surgically through laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery. The risk factors of gastric cardia cancer are also similar to esophageal adenocarcinoma due to the anatomical location of the gastric cardia close to the esophagus. There is currently no clinical evidence that achalching has a correlation with gastric cardia cancer. CASE SUMMARY We report the case of an 85-year-old female patient was admitted to our department with dysphagia for 6 months. She underwent a dissecting Heller myotomy for pancreatic achalasia in 2006, with occasional postoperative symptoms of reflux and heartburn. Outpatient upper gastrointestinal imaging was suggestive of cardia cancer, and gastroscopic pathological findings were suggestive of moderately-lowly-differentiated adenocarcinoma. The patient was admitted to the operating room on August 30, 2022 to undergo radical pancreatic cancer surgery plus abdominal adhesion release, and postoperative review of the upper gastrointestinal imaging showed a patent anastomosis with no spillage, filling of the residual stomach, and duodenal visualization. CONCLUSION Postoperative patients with achalasia often have symptoms of reflux, which may be one of the factors for the development of pancreatic cancer in this patient, thus requiring clinicians to pay more attention to the use of antireflux procedures in the surgical treatment of pancreatic achalasia. And the choice of which modality to perform surgery in patients with previous surgical history is also one of the points to be discussed.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is closely related to the meat quality of livestock and poultry. As a new cell culture technique in vitro, cell co-culture has been gradually applied to the related research of IMF formation because it can simulate the changes of microenvironment in vivo during the process of IMF cell formation. In the co-culture model, in addition to studying the effects of skeletal muscle cells on the proliferation and differentiation of IMF, we can also consider the role of many secretion factors in the formation of IMF, thus making the cell research in vitro closer to the real level in vivo. This paper reviewed the generation and origin of IMF, summarized the existing co-culture methods and systems, and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of each method as well as the challenges faced in the establishment of the system, with emphasis on the current status of research on the formation of IMF for human and animal based on co-culture technology.

Abstract
The Forkhead box factor 1 (FoxO1) gene plays a vital role in the growth and development of skeletal muscle. In the present study, expression analysis of the bovine FoxO1 gene exhibited the highest expression in longissimus dorsi muscle followed by its expression in adipose tissue. Moreover, high mRNA expression of FoxO1 gene was found in differentiated bovine myoblasts and adipocytes at day 6 of induced differentiation (p < 0.05). The regulatory pattern of the bovine FoxO1 gene was investigated through screening and dual-luciferase activity of the 1.7 kb 5'UTR (untranslated region) within pGL3-basic vector and a core promoter region was explored at (-285/-27) upstream of the transcription start site. The transcription factors (TFs) MEF2A and HOXA5 within the core promoter region (-285/-27) were found as the regulatory cis-acting element. The siRNA interference of the TFs, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, and site-directed mutation validated that MEF2A and HOXA5 binding occurs in the region -285/-27 bp and performs an essential role in the transcriptional regulation of bovine FoxO1 gene. These findings explored the regulatory network mechanism of the FoxO1 gene in skeletal muscle development and adipogenesis for the bovine breed improvement program.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of Tongxinluo capsule (TXLC) in combination with conventional therapies for treating stable angina pectoris (SAP) through a comprehensive meta-analysis and systematic review. METHODS We conducted a systematic search of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases for randomized controlled trials investigating the use of TXLC as adjuvant therapy for SAP published up to June 2023. The Cochrane Handbook was used to evaluate the risk of bias. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4.1, and publication bias was assessed using Begg test and Egger test in the Stata SE 12.0 software. GRADEpro was used to assess the quality of the evidence. RESULTS This meta-analysis included 26 randomized controlled trials with a total of 2352 patients. TXLC co-administration demonstrated significant reduction in angina attack frequency (mean difference (MD) -0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.97 to -0.84, P < .00001) and duration (MD -1.71, 95% CI -2.24 to -1.19, P < .00001), decreased use of nitroglycerin tablets (MD -6.28, 95% CI -7.16 to -5.41, P < .00001), lowered C-reactive protein (MD -1.19, 95% CI -1.35 to -1.03, P < .00001) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (MD -0.68, 95% CI -0.86 to -0.51, P < .00001). TXLC co-administration did not increase gastrointestinal reactions (RR 1.17, 95% CI 0.38 to 3.57, P = .78). The Begg test and Egger test results indicated no publication bias. The evidence quality was rated as very low for frequency of angina attack, duration of angina attack, and nitroglycerin usage, and low for C-reactive protein, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and gastrointestinal reaction events. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis supports TXLC as a beneficial adjunct treatment for SAP.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat content is closely related to the quality of beef, where the forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) is involved in adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism, but the specific mechanism of its involvement is still unclear. In this study, interfering with FOXO1 promoted the G1/S transformation of bovine adipocytes by enhancing the expression of proliferation marker genes PCNA, CDK1, CDK2, CCNA2, CCNB1, and CCNE2, thereby positively regulating the proliferation of bovine adipocytes. Additionally, interfering with FOXO1 negatively regulated the expression of adipogenic differentiation marker genes PPARG and CEBPA, as well as lipid anabolism marker genes ACC, FASN, SCD1, SREBP1, FABP4, ACSL1, LPL, and DGAT1, thus reducing triglyceride (TG) content and inhibiting the generation of lipid droplets in bovine adipocytes. A combination of transcriptomic and metabolomics analyses revealed that FOXO1 could regulate the lipogenesis of cattle by influencing the AMPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. Importantly, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that FOXO1 could regulate bovine lipogenesis by binding to the promoter regions of the CD36 and STEAP4 genes and affecting their transcriptional activities. These results provide a foundation for studying the role and molecular mechanism of FOXO1 in the bovine adipogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Streptococcus pneumoniae is a gram-positive opportunistic pathogen, and infection risks of S. pneumoniae can be profoundly augmented by its acquired multidrug-resistance (MDR). The rapid development of MDR in S. pneumoniae was attributed to the international dissemination of a small number of multidrug-resistant "clones." Clonal complex (CC) 271 is a prevalent MDR CC in the world and the most prevalent CC in China. However, the evolutionary trajectories of multidrug-resistant S. pneumoniae CC271 in China still are largely unknown. METHODS We investigated a collection of 1312 S. pneumoniae isolates collected from 28 tertiary hospitals in China from 2007 to 2020. Recombination prediction and recombination-masked phylogenetic analysis were combined to determine the population structure and mode of evolution of CC271. Data from the Global Pneumococcal Sequencing program (GPS) were combined to understand the global distribution of clones identified in this study. Bayesian analysis were recruited to analysis the evolutionary dynamics of dominant clones within CC271 in China. RESULTS The phylogenomic analysis resulted in the discovery of two globally distributed clones, ST271-A and ST271-B. ST271-A was a derivative of ST236 and an ancestor of ST271-B and ST320, refining the internal phylogenetic relationship of CC271. ST271-B was the most dominant clone in China, with higher β-lactam resistance especially for cephalosporins comparing to other MDR clones. Bayesian skyline plot showed a rapid expansion of 19F ST271-B from 1995 to 2000, which correlates with the widespread use of cephalosporins in the 1990s in China. 19A ST320, a vaccine-escape clone, is the second largest population in China. The Bayesian skyline plot showed that the 19A ST320 began to expand rapidly around 2001, which appeared to coincide with the prevalence of 19A after application of PCV7 in 2000 in the USA. We also observed frequent transmission of 19A ST320 between countries. It suggests that mass vaccination in some countries could affect the prevalence of clones in unvaccinated countries in the context of high-frequency international transmission. CONCLUSIONS Our results refined the internal phylogenetic relationship of CC271, showing that the 19F ST271-B and 19A ST320 evolved independently from ST271-A, with different histories and driving forces for their evolution and dissemination in China.

Abstract
As a key component of Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway, Smad2 has many crucial roles in a variety of cellular processes, but it cannot bind DNA without complex formation with Smad4. In the present study, the molecular mechanism in the progress of myogenesis underlying transcriptional regulation of SMAD2 and SMAD4 had been clarified. The result showed the inhibition between SMAD2 and SMAD4, which promotes and inhibits bovine myoblast differentiation, respectively. Further, the characterization of promoter region of SMAD2 and SMAD4 was analyzed, and identified C/EBPβ directly bound to the core region of both SMAD2 and SMAD4 genes promoter and stimulated the transcriptional activity. However, C/EBPβ has lower expression in myoblasts which plays vital function in the transcriptional networks controlling adipogenesis, while the overexpression of C/EBPβ gene in myoblasts significantly increased SMAD2 and SMAD4 gene expression, induced the formation of lipid droplet in bovine myoblasts, and promoted the expression of adipogenesis-specific genes. Collectively, our results showed that C/EBPβ may play an important role in the trans-differentiation and dynamic equilibrium of myoblasts into adipocyte cells via promoting an increase in SMAD2 and SMAD4 gene levels. These results will provide an important basis for further understanding of the TGFβ pathway and C/EBPβ gene during myogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (CircRNAs) are covalently closed-loop non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecules present in eukaryotes. Numerous studies have demonstrated that circRNAs are important regulators of bovine fat deposition, but their precise mechanisms remain unclear. Previous transcriptome sequencing studies have indicated that circADAMTS16, a circRNA derived from the a disintegrin-like metalloproteinases with the thrombospondin motif 16 (ADAMTS16) gene, is high expressed in bovine adipose tissue. This gives a hint that the circRNA may be involved in the process of bovine lipid metabolism. In this study, the targeting relationship between circADAMTS16 and miR-10167-3p was verified using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. Then, the functions of circADAMTS16 and miR-10167-3p in bovine adipocytes were explored through gain-of-function and lose-of-function. The mRNA expression levels of genes were detected by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), and lipid droplet formation was phenotypically evaluated by Oil Red O staining. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were detected using CCK-8, EdU, and flow cytometry. We demonstrated that circADAMTS16 targeted binding to miR-10167-3p. The up-regulation of circADAMTS16 inhibited the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes, and the overexpression of miR-10167-3p promoted the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes. Meanwhile, CCK-8 and EdU results indicated that circADAMTS16 promoted adipocyte proliferation. Subsequently, flow cytometry analysis showed that circADAMTS16 promoted cell transition from G0/G1 phase to S phase, and inhibited cell apoptosis. However, up-regulation of miR-10167-3p inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Briefly, circADAMTS16 inhibited the differentiation and promotes the proliferation of bovine adipocytes by targeting miR-10167-3p during bovine fat deposition, which provides new insights into the mechanism of circRNAs regulation of beef quality.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after vascular surgery. Reduced synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from tryptophan is associated with an increased risk of AKI in critically ill patients, patients hospitalized with COVID-19, and cardiac surgery patients, and is marked by elevated urinary quinolinate and quinolinate to tryptophan ratios. We measured quinolinate concentrations in vascular surgery patients to determine if impaired NAD+ synthesis was associated with AKI in this patient population. Eight preoperative and eight postoperative vascular surgery patients who developed AKI were selected from a parent study to participate in this single-center case-control study. They were matched with controls who did not develop AKI based on age, sex, BMI, eGFR, hypertension, and diabetes. Urinary quinolinate and tryptophan concentrations were measured at anesthetic induction and on postoperative day one. Two-sided Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare quinolinate and quinolinate to tryptophan ratios. Multivariate linear regression modeling was used to estimate the relationship between quinolinate and serum creatinine. There was no difference in preoperative or postoperative urine quinolinate concentrations or the preoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratio between patients that did and did not develop AKI (p = 0.07, 0.50, and 0.32, respectively). However, postoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratios were higher in AKI patients (p = 0.04). Further, after adjustment for AKI risk factors, higher preoperative quinolinate concentrations and higher postoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratios were associated with greater postoperative creatinine increases (p = 0.04 and 0.04, respectively). These data suggest that impaired NAD+ synthesis may contribute to AKI development in vascular surgery patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The emergence of carbapenem-resistant and hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-hvKP) poses a great threat to public health. There is a paramount need to increase awareness of the epidemiology, evolution, and pathogenesis of CR-hvKP. METHODS We collected strains of K. pneumoniae for over two years in a hospital. CR-hvKP strains were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers targeting the virulence genes. Genome sequencing was used to determine phylogenetic relationships and genetic characterization of virulence elements. The population dynamics within these strains were analyzed through epidemiological data. The string test, siderophore secretion, and murine infection experiments were performed to investigate virulence potential of different clones. RESULTS A total of 1172 K. pneumoniae strains were isolated from 817 patients, and 125 isolates were identified as CR-hvKP. In all, 102 CR-hvKP strains belonged to sequence type (ST) 11. Genomic analysis demonstrated that three clones of ST11 successively replaced each other in the hospital. Among them, the strains of clade A and clade B acquired virulence plasmids and the strains of clade C acquired a new integrating conjugative element (ICE). Phenotypic experiments revealed enhanced virulence potential of the recent epidemic clone from clade B. Sequence type 11 strains were favorable hosts for the convergence of virulence and resistance, indicated by clonal replacement and acquisition patterns of virulence elements. CONCLUSION The emergence of the enhanced virulence potential of ST11 CR-hvKP suggests that coevolution between hosts and exogenous factors can produce super-virulent CR-hvKP strains, highlighting the need to closely monitor changes in the virulence characteristics of CR-hvKP.

Abstract
We conducted a retrospective cohort study with the aim of investigating the relationship between subchorionic hematoma (SCH) and pregnancy outcomes in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). We reviewed all RPL patients who came to the Fourth Hospital of Shijiazhuang from January 2019 to June 2021. Two groups were divided according to the presence or absence of SCH. Live birth rate was considered as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included adverse pregnancy outcomes and complications. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted. Of 274 RPL women included in the final analysis, 49 (17.9%) had SCH. The occurrence of thrombophilia was significantly higher in SCH group than that in non-SCH group (38.8% vs 24.4%, P=0.041). There were no significant differences between the two groups in live birth rate, adverse pregnancy outcomes and pregnancy complications. Among women with SCH, live birth rate or SCH duration was not associated with continued use of low-dose aspirin (LDA) after the diagnosis of SCH. Our findings suggest that SCH does not reduce live birth rate in RPL women or increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes or pregnancy complications. Continued use of LDA after the detection of a hematoma is unlikely to affect SCH duration or the live birth rate.

Abstract
Background Skeletal muscle is not only an important tissue involved in exercise and metabolism, but also an important part of livestock and poultry meat products. Its growth and development determines the output and quality of meat to a certain extent, and has an important impact on the economic benefits of animal husbandry. Skeletal muscle development is a complex regulatory network process, and its molecular mechanism needs to be further studied. Method We used a weighted co-expression network (WGCNA) and single gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) to study the RNA-seq data set of bovine tissue differential expression analysis, and the core genes and functional enrichment pathways closely related to muscle tissue development were screened. Finally, the accuracy of the analysis results was verified by tissue expression profile detection and bovine skeletal muscle satellite cell differentiation model in vitro (BSMSCs). Results In this study, Atp2a1, Tmod4, Lmod3, Ryr1 and Mybpc2 were identified as marker genes in muscle tissue, which are mainly involved in glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, AMPK pathway and insulin pathway. The assay results showed that these five genes were highly expressed in muscle tissue and positively correlated with the differentiation of bovine BSMSCs. Conclusions In this study, several muscle tissue characteristic genes were excavated, which may play an important role in muscle development and provide new insights for bovine molecular genetic breeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with optimal blood pressure (BP), the prehypertension increases the risk of incident hypertension, cardiovascular (CV) events, and death. Moderate intensity of regular physical activity can reduce BP. However, aerobic exercise has some limitations. As a safe, low-impact, enjoyable, and inexpensive form of exercise that requires minimal equipment and space, Tai Chi is expected as a viable alternative to aerobic exercise. The study aimed to assess the effect of Tai Chi intervention program, compared with aerobic exercise, on the BP in prehypertension patients. METHODS This study is a 12-month, two-center, single-blind, parallel, randomized controlled trial. Three hundred forty-two patients with prehypertension [with a systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the range of 120 mmHg to 139 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the range of 80 mmHg to 89 mmHg] are randomized to one of two intervention groups in a 1:1 ratio: Tai Chi or aerobic exercise. BP monitoring methods of office blood pressure, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) are used at the same time to detect BP in multiple dimensions. The primary outcome is the comparison of SBP change from baseline to 12 months in Tai Chi group and SBP change from baseline to 12 months in aerobic exercise group. The secondary endpoints are as following: (1) the comparison of DBP of office blood pressure change from baseline to 12 months between Tai Chi group and aerobic exercise group, (2) the comparison of BP and the variability of BP assessed through ABPM change from baseline to 12 months between Tai Chi group and aerobic exercise group, (3) the comparison of BP assessed through HBPM change from baseline to 12 months between Tai Chi group and aerobic exercise group. DISCUSSION This will be the first randomized controlled trial to specifically study the benefits of Tai Chi on the blood pressure control in patients with prehypertension. The successful completion of this study will help to provide evidence for whether Tai Chi is more desirable than aerobic exercise.

Abstract
Mastitis is characterized by inflammatory damage to mammary gland tissue, which could decline milk production and quality and significantly affect the economic benefits of ranching. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), such as miR-199a-3p, are novel therapeutic targets in inflammation, and their regulation is an effective strategy for inflammation control. Despite its importance in humans and animals, the molecular mechanism of bovine miR-199a-3p (bta-miR-199a-3p) in dairy cow mastitis and bovine mammary epithelial cell (bMEC) inflammation is unclear. In our study, a bovine mammary epithelial cell line (MAC-T) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used as an inflammatory cell model to investigate the molecular mechanism of bta-miR-199a-3p in the MAC-T inflammatory response. bta-miR-199a-3p was up-regulated in the LPS-induced MAC-T cells, while CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) was revealed as its target gene in a double luciferase reporter gene experiment. In addition, the overexpression of bta-miR-199a-3p negatively regulated the expression of CD2AP and the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. These subsequently inhibited the secretion of related inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) and the expression of apoptotic genes (CASP3 and CASP9), thereby alleviating the LPS-challenged inflammatory response in the MAC-T cells. Silencing of bta-miR-199a-3p, however, reversed the above effects. Thus, bta-miR-199a-3p inhibits LPS-induced inflammation in bMECs by directly targeting CD2AP and regulating the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway. This study reveals the potential regulatory mechanism of bta-miR-199a-3p in bMEC inflammatory immune response and may serve as a useful target for the treatment of mastitis.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the functional role of Myoz2 in myoblast differentiation, and elucidate the potential factors interact with Myoz2 in promoter transcriptional regulation. The temporal-spatial expression results showed that the bovine Myoz2 gene was highest expressed in longissimus dorsi, and in individual growth stages and myoblast differentiation stages. Knockdown of Myoz2 inhibited the differentiation of myoblast, and negative effect of MyoD, MyoG, MyH and MEF2A expression on mRNA levels. Subsequently, the promoter region of bovine Myoz2 gene with 1.7 Kb sequence was extracted, and then it was set as eight series of deleted fragments, which were ligated into pGL3-basic to detect core promoter regions of Myoz2 gene in myoblasts and myotubes. Transcription factors MyoD and MyoG were identified as important cis-acting elements in the core promoter region (-159/+1). Also, it was highly conserved in different species based on dual-luciferase analysis and multiple sequence alignment analysis, respectively. Furthermore, a chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis combined with site-directed mutation and siRNA interference and overexpression confirmed that the combination of MyoD and MyoG occurred in region -159/+1, and played an important role in the regulation of bovine Myoz2 gene. These findings explored the regulatory network mechanism of Myoz2 gene during the development of bovine skeletal muscle.

Abstract
As an important downstream effector gene in the hippo signaling pathway, large tumor suppressor gene 2 (LATS2) is involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, organ size and tissue regeneration, and plays an important role in regulating the growth and development of animal muscles. The purpose of this study is to explore the temporal expression of bovine LATS2 gene, and determine the key transcription factors for regulating bovine LATS2 gene. The result showed that bovine LATS2 gene was highly expressed in liver and longissimus dorsi, and was up-regulated in infancy muscle. In addition, it was highly expressed on the 2th day during the differentiation stage of myoblast. The upstream 1.7 Kb sequence of the 5 'translation region of bovine LATS2 gene was cloned, and 7 different deletion fragments were amplified by the upstream primers. These fragments were constructed into double luciferase reporter vectors and transfected into myoblasts and myotubes cells, respectively to detect the core promoter regions. In addition, the key transcription factors of the core promoter sequence of the bovine LATS2 gene were analyzed and predicted by online software. Combining with site-directed mutations, siRNA interference and chromatin immunoprecipitation technology, it was identified that MEF2A and MyoG combined in core promoter region (-248/-56) to regulate the transcription activity of bovine LATS2 gene. The results have laid a theoretical foundation for exploring the molecular regulation mechanism of LATS2 gene in the process of muscle growth.

Abstract
Background: Edaravone alleviates neurological deficits among patients with intracerebral hemorrhage; however, its effects on mortality and long-term functional outcomes remain unknown. Objective: To assess clinical outcomes associated with edaravone initiated within 7 days of symptoms onset in intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CiNii, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese VIP information, Wanfang Data, and SinoMed for relevant randomized controlled trials from their inception to 1 May 2021 and conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019147801). All-cause mortality and long-term functional outcomes were taken as the primary outcomes. Results: A total of 38 randomized controlled trials including 3,454 participants with acute intracerebral hemorrhage were included. The selected articles were of poor quality. Meta-analysis revealed that edaravone could not reduce all-cause mortality [relative risk (RR) = 0.51; 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.11–2.32); p = 0.38]. No studies reported on long-term functional outcomes in those trials. In addition, edaravone alleviated neurological deficits [mean difference (MD) = −5.44; 95% CI (−6.44 to −4.44); p<0.00001], improved the activities of daily living [MD = 8.44; 95% CI (7.65–9.23); p<0.00001], reduced the hematoma volume [MD = −4.71; 95% CI (−5.86 to −3.56); p<0.00001], and increased treatment response [RR = 1.26; 95% CI (1.22–1.31); p<0.00001]. In terms of safety outcome, there was no significant difference between the edaravone group and the control groups [RR = 1.67; 95% CI (0.92 to 3.06); p = 0.09]. Conclusion: Till date, edaravone does not associate with mortality reduction when initiated within 7 days of intracerebral hemorrhage onset. The effect of edaravone on long-term functional outcomes remains unknown due to lack of data. Although edaravone alleviated neurological deficits, improved activities of daily living, and reduced hematoma volume, we cautiously interpreted the results owing to the overall poor quality and high heterogeneity of the included trials. Presently, the results are insufficient to support edaravone as a routine treatment option for acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Abstract
As a member of the large tumor suppressor (LATS) gene family, LATS1 plays an important role in regulating muscle growth and development. In this study, we determined the distinct exhibit patterns of tissue expression of bovine LATS1. Further, we determined the functional proximal minimal promoter of bovine LATS1 and identified the key transcription factors in the core promoter region to elucidate its molecular regulation mechanism. The results showed that bovine LATS1 was highly expressed in the longissimus thoracis and upregulation in infancy muscle. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay in combination with site-directed mutation and small interfering RNA (siRNA) interference demonstrated that myogenic differentiation 1 (Myod1) and myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) binding in the core promoter region (−298/−123 bp) play important roles in the transcriptional regulation of the bovine LATS1 promoter. Taken together, these interactions provide insight into the regulatory mechanisms of LATS1 transcription in mediating skeletal muscle growth in cattle.

Abstract
Simple Summary Bovine mastitis is an inflammatory disease of the mammary glands that causes serious harm to cow health and huge economic losses. Susceptibility or resistance to mastitis in individual cows is mainly determined by genetic factors, including coding genes and non-coding genes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules with a length of more than 200 nucleotides (nt) that have recently been discovered. They can regulate a variety of diseases of humans and animals, especially the immune response and inflammatory disease process. This paper reviews the role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in inflammatory diseases, emphasizes on the latest research progress of lncRNA expression and the molecular regulatory mechanism in bovine mastitis, and looks forward to the research and application prospect of lncRNA in bovine mastitis, intending to provide a reference for scientific researchers to systematically understand this research field. Abstract Bovine mastitis is an inflammatory disease caused by pathogenic microbial infection, trauma, or other factors. Its morbidity is high, and it is difficult to cure, causing great harm to the health of cows and the safety of dairy products. Susceptibility or resistance to mastitis in individual cows is mainly determined by genetic factors, including coding genes and non-coding genes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding RNA molecules with a length of more than 200 nucleotides (nt) that have recently been discovered. They can regulate the immune response of humans and animals on three levels (transcription, epigenetic modification, and post-transcription), and are widely involved in the pathological process of inflammatory diseases. Over the past few years, extensive findings revealed basic roles of lncRNAs in inflammation, especially bovine mastitis. This paper reviews the expression pattern and mechanism of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in inflammatory diseases, emphasizes on the latest research progress of the lncRNA expression pattern and molecular regulatory mechanism in bovine mastitis, analyzes the molecular regulatory network of differentially expressed lncRNAs, and looks forward to the research and application prospect of lncRNA in bovine mastitis, laying a foundation for molecular breeding and the biological therapy of bovine mastitis.

Abstract
Inosine monophosphate (IMP) is an indicator of meat taste, and the molecular mechanism underlying IMP deposition in muscle tissues is important to developing superior poultry breeds. The aim of this study was to identify the key proteins regulating IMP deposition in different muscle groups of 180-day-old Jingyuan chickens (Hen) using a proteomics-based approach. We identified 1,300 proteins in the muscle tissues of Jingyuan chickens, of which 322 were differentially expressed between the breast and leg muscles (129 proteins were highly expressed in breast muscles and 193 proteins were highly expressed in leg muscles). PGM1, PKM2, AK1, AMPD1, and PurH/ATIC were among the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) involved in the purine metabolism pathway, of which purH was highly expressed in leg muscles, while the others were highly expressed in breast muscles. The proteomics screening results were verified by PRM, qPCR, and western blotting, showing consistency with the proteomics results. Our findings are not only significant in terms of protecting the Jingyuan chicken germplasm resources, but also provide the molecular basis for generating high-quality broiler chicken breeds.

Abstract
MicroRNAs have been recently reported to act as key regulators of adipogenesis, a multifactorial complex process. One miRNA, miR-302b, is an important regulator of cell proliferation and differentiation and controls cancer development, but we speculate that miR-302b may also regulate bovine adipogenesis. Herein we have evaluated the role of this miRNA in bovine adipocyte differentiation using quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR), Oil Red O staining, a dual-luciferase reporter. CDK2 was identified as the target gene of miR-302b, and miR-302b agomir promoted mRNA and protein expression levels of adipocyte-specific genes. In addition, a CCK-8 kit was used to show that miR-302b agomir, but not the negative control, inhibits preadipocyte proliferation. In conclusion, miR-302b promotes bovine preadipocyte differentiation and inhibits proliferation by targeting CDK2.

Abstract
Psychological capital (PsyCap) is documented to be positive in influencing employees' behavior. However, little attention has been paid to its role in maintaining a sustainable workforce in underprivileged rural areas. Also less known is the complex relations between PsyCap and other consequence variables. Moreover, previous studies in this field did not adequately address the cross-cultural applications of positive resources, though many facets of PsyCap are culture related. To address the gaps, the current study explored the complex relationships linking PsyCap and organizational commitment in a sample of public civil servants (gongwuyuan cadres, n=583) at the township level in the rural areas of northwestern China. Two types of PsyCap, task-oriented PsyCap, which is similar to the PsyCap in the west, and guanxi-oriented PsyCap, which is unique in the Chinese culture, were measured. Task-oriented PsyCap is composed of enterprise-diligence, resiliency-perseverance, optimism-hope, and confidence-courage. Guanxi-oriented PsyCap is composed of toleration-forgiveness, modesty-prudence, thanksgiving-dedication, and respect-courtesy. AMOS 23.0 software was used to establish structural equation models. The results show that both types of PsyCap were positive predictors of organizational commitment. Vocational identity and job satisfaction mediated the relation between task-oriented PsyCap/guanxi-oriented PsyCap and organizational commitment. The chained relationship from the two types of PsyCap to vocational identity, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment was also significant. These results and their implications for workforce stability are discussed.

Abstract
AIMS Despite the recent prosperity of shrimp cultivation in China, very little is known about how different shrimp farming models influence the dynamics of Vibrio parahaemolyticus populations and the antibiotic resistance of this bacterium. METHODS AND RESULTS To this end, we conducted continuous surveillance of V. parahaemolyticus on four farms over 3 years: two traditional shrimp farms with daily water exchange and two farms operated in the recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). No antibiotics were used in these farms to exclude the potential impacts of antibiotics on the emergence of antibacterial resistance. Multilocus sequence typing was utilized to characterize the dynamics of V. parahaemolyticus populations. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was conducted to determine the representative sequence types (STs) at each farm. Results revealed that the population structure of V. parahaemolyticus remained stable over time in both RAS farms, with only nine and four STs observed at each. In contrast, annual replacement of V. parahaemolyticus populations was observed in traditional farms with 26 and 28 STs identified in rearing water. WGS of 50 isolates divided them into five clusters, of which ST917a isolates harboured a genomic island that disrupted the gene recA. Pair-wised genomic comparison of isolates from the same STs showed that they were genetically related but belonged to different clones associated with geographical distribution. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that RAS presented a specific ecological niche by minimizing the water exchanges with the external environment. In contrast, traditional farming might pose a food safety issue by introducing new V. parahaemolyticus populations with antibiotic resistance genes. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our results expose the potential food safety issue associated with conventional agriculture and should encourage the development of preventive strategies to reduce the emergence of resistant V. parahaemolyticus populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are protein kinases regulating important cellular processes such as cell cycle and transcription. Many CDK genes also play a critical role during adipogenic differentiation, but the role of CDK gene family in regulating bovine adipocyte differentiation has not been studied. Therefore, the present study aims to characterize the CDK gene family in bovine and study their expression pattern during adipocyte differentiation. RESULTS We performed a genome-wide analysis and identified a number of CDK genes in several bovine species. The CDK genes were classified into 8 subfamilies through phylogenetic analysis. We found that 25 bovine CDK genes were distributed in 16 different chromosomes. Collinearity analysis revealed that the CDK gene family in Bos taurus is homologous with Bos indicus, Hybrid-Bos taurus, Hybrid Bos indicus, Bos grunniens and Bubalus bubalis. Several CDK genes had higher expression levels in preadipocytes than in differentiated adipocytes, as shown by RNA-seq analysis and qPCR, suggesting a role in the growth of emerging lipid droplets. CONCLUSION In this research, 185 CDK genes were identified and grouped into eight distinct clades in Bovidae, showing extensively homology. Global expression analysis of different bovine tissues and specific expression analysis during adipocytes differentiation revealed CDK4, CDK7, CDK8, CDK9 and CDK14 may be involved in bovine adipocyte differentiation. The results provide a basis for further study to determine the roles of CDK gene family in regulating adipocyte differentiation, which is beneficial for beef quality improvement.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism, which encompasses synthesis and degradation of lipids, is critical for a wide range of cellular functions, including structural and morphological properties of organelles, energy storage, signalling, and the stability and function of membrane proteins. Adipose tissue is a dynamic tissue type that performs a lot of significant physiological functions, including secretion, and is involved in maintaining homeostasis and in regulatory roles of other tissues based on paracrine or endocrine. More recently, several classes of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), such as long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), microRNA (miRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA), have been discovered in adipocytes, and they act as critical regulators of gene expression in adipogenesis and regulate adipogenesis through multiple pathways. In the present paper, we discussed several classes of non-coding RNAs and summarized the latest research on the regulatory role of ncRNAs in bovine adipogenesis. We gave examples for known modes of action to look forward to providing reference information future scientific research in cattle breeding.

Abstract
Our ability to predict evolutionary trajectories of pathogens is one of the promising leverages to fight against the pandemic disease, yet few studies have addressed this question in situ, due to the difficulty in monitoring the milestone evolutionary events for a given pathogen and in understanding the evolutionary strategies. In this study, we monitored the real-time evolution of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in response to successive antibiotic treatment in three shrimp farms in North China from 2011 to 2018 by whole-genome sequencing. Results showed that the stepwise emergence of resistance was associated with the antibiotic usage. Genomic analysis of resistant isolates showed that the acquisition of the resistant mobile genetic elements flanked by an insertion sequence (ISVal1) closely mirrored the antibiotics used in shrimp farms since 2014. Next, we also identified 50 insertion sites of ISVal1 in the chromosome, which facilitated the formation of pathogenicity islands (PAIs) and fitness islands in the following years. Further, horizontal transfers of a virulent trh-nik-ure genomic island (GI) and two GIs improving the fitness have been observed in two farms since 2016. In this case study, we proposed that the insertion sequence triggered four major evolutionary events during the outbreaks of shrimp disease in three farms, including horizontal transfer of transposon (HTT) (stage 1), the formation of resistance islands (stage 2) and the PAIs (stage 3), and horizontal transfer of the PAIs (stage 4). This study presented the first in vivo evolutionary trajectories for a given bacterial pathogen, which helps us to understand the emergence mechanisms of new genotypes.IMPORTANCE Most human infectious diseases originate from animals. Thus, how to reduce or prevent pandemic zoonoses before they emerge in people is becoming a critical issue. Continuous genomic surveillance of the evolutionary trajectories of potential human pathogens on farms is a promising strategy to realize early warning. Here, we conducted an 8-year surveillance of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in three shrimp farms. The results showed that the use of antibiotics and horizontal transfer of transposons (HTT) drove the evolution of V. parahaemolyticus, which could be divided into four stages: HTT, formation of resistance islands, formation of pathogenicity islands (PAIs), and horizontal transfer of PAIs. This study presented the first in vivo monitoring of evolutionary trajectories for a given bacterial pathogen, providing valuable information for the prevention of pandemic zoonoses.

Abstract
Friction measurement via atomic force microscope (AFM) relies on accurate calibration for the torsional spring constant of the AFM cantilever and its lateral deflection sensitivity. Here we describe a method that employs a suspended nanowire (SNW) as a reference beam to quantify the torsional spring constant of AFM cantilevers. Based on the fact that a uniform SNW with cylindrical symmetry has an identical spring constant when bent in any direction perpendicular to its axis, the spring constant of the SNW in a normal direction is determined by an AFM cantilever with a known normal spring constant, and is subsequently used as a force transfer standard to calibrate the torsional spring constant of the AFM cantilever. The lateral deflection sensitivity can be accurately measured by pushing the AFM tip laterally on the groove edge. The calibration result is compared to the well-known diamagnetic lateral force calibrator method and shows an uncertainty of 15% or better. The presented method is applicable for the lateral force calibration of AFM cantilevers in a wide range of instruments including inverted configurations and in an ultrahigh vacuum.

Abstract
Genomic selection has an essential role in the livestock economy by increasing selection productivity. Genomics provides a mechanism to increase the rate of genetic gain using marker-assisted selection. Various quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with body, carcass and meat quality traits in beef cattle have been found. It is widely accepted that QTL traits in livestock species are regulated by several genes and factors from the environment. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful approach in identifying QTL and to establish genomic regions harboring the genes and polymorphisms associated with specific characteristics in beef cattle. Due to their impact on economic returns, growth, carcass and meat quality traits of cattle are frequently used as essential criteria in selection in breeding programs., GWAS has been used in beef cattle breeding and genetic program and some progress has been made. Furthermore, numerous genes and markers related to productivity traits in beef cattle have been found. This review summarizes the advances in the use of GWAS in beef cattle production and outlines the associations with growth, carcass, and meat quality.

Abstract
Simple Summary In summary, three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were observed including two SNPs (g.3148 C > T and g.3570 G > A) in SIRT1, and one SNP (g.8074 T > A) in SIRT2 through sequence analysis. Association analyses suggested that all three SNPs were associated growth-related traits in Tibetan sheep. These findings imply that both SIRT1 and SIRT2 may play an important role in growth traits and are potential biomarkers for Marker-assisted selection (MAS). Abstract Silent information regulator 1 and 2 (SIRT1, 2) were NAD+-dependent histone or non-histone deacetylase, which emerged as key metabolic sensors in several tissues of mammals. In the present study, the search for polymorphisms within the ovine SIRT1 and SIRT2 loci as well as association analyses between SNPs and growth-related traits were performed in Tibetan sheep. To determine the expression pattern of SIRT1 and SIRT2 genes in Tibetan sheep, the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis revealed that those two genes were widely expressed in diverse tissues. Expression of SIRT1 was less in abomasum of lamb, whereas it was greater in duodenum within adult stage. In the case of SIRT2, the greatest expression was observed in reticulum (lamb) and in muscle (adult), whereas the least expression was in liver for lamb and in kidney for adult animals. The association analysis demonstrated that g.3148 C > T polymorphism of SIRT1 affected heart girth (p = 0.002). The g.8074 T > A SNP of SIRT2 had a significant correlation with body weight (p = 0.011) and body length (p = 0.008). These findings suggested that the SIRT1 and SIRT2 polymorphism was involved in growth-related traits in Tibetan sheep, which may be considered to be genetic markers for improving the growth traits of Tibetan sheep.

Abstract
Introduction This systematic scoping review aims to assess the frequency and severity of clinical manifestations of pregnant women with brucellosis. Methods Three literature databases, PubMed, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and two search engines (Google and Yahoo) were adopted to identify the relevant articles that published until 31 December 2019. Two investigators independently screened the publications and extracted the data; the case reports and case series which described at least two symptoms or clinical manifestations of pregnant women with brucellosis were included. Results A total of 27 articles describing the information of 521 pregnant women with brucellosis were included. Serum agglutination test was the most common laboratory test in the diagnosis of brucellosis. A total of 36 clinical manifestations were extracted from the included articles, and the most common clinical manifestations were fever (400, 76.8%), joint pain/swelling/arthralgia (389, 74.7%), sweats (382, 73.3%), fatigue/asthenia/weakness (262, 50.3%) and back pain (189, 36.3%). Among the 32 included individual cases that with available obstetric outcome information, 10 (31.3%) suffered preterm delivery, 12 (37.5%) had an abortion and 3 (9.8%) had intrauterine fetal death. Conclusion Brucellosis is popular and threatening for pregnant women. Regarding the localized body system complications, osteoarticular system was mostly involved, the obstetrics outcomes were severe among pregnant women with brucellosis. The detailed clinical and epidemiological characteristics in this scoping review may add a better and more complete understanding of the disease for both physicians and policy-makers, and provide evidence for timely diagnosis, adequate therapy and better prevention.

Abstract
As a member of the Iroquois homeobox gene family, the IRX3 gene plays an important role in regulating the growth, development and fat deposition of chordates. In the present study, we found, using real-time PCR, that the bovine IRX3 gene was highly expressed in lung, kidney, heart, subcutaneous fat and longissimus dorsi muscle. We cloned the full-length sequence of the bovine IRX3 gene promoter and constructed eight series of 5′ deletion promoter plasmid luciferase reporter assays and then transfected them to 3T3-L1 and C2C12 cell lines to detect its core promoter regions. The results showed that the core promoter of bovine IRX3 was located within a −292/−42 bp region relative to the transcriptional start site. Furthermore, sequence analysis identified eight CpG islands in the promoter region. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay in combination with site-directed mutation and siRNA interference demonstrated that SREBF2 and PPARG binding occurs in region −292/−42 and is essential in bovine IRX3 transcription. These results lay an important theoretical foundation for exploring the molecular regulation mechanism of the IRX3 gene in bovine fat deposition.

Abstract
Purpose To describe the incidence trend, demographic and clinical characteristics, treatment and prognosis, epidemiological history and risk factors of human brucellosis in Huludao, China. Patients and Methods A total of 1887 brucellosis patients were reported in Huludao, China from January, 2014 to December, 2018 and the case questionnaires from 1149 patients were collected from Huludao Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Demographic characteristics of the patients and the information relating to the patients' clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis were collected and analyzed. Results The number of annually reported brucellosis patients has dropped from 711 to 187 during the study period, with the incidence decreased from 27.31/100,000 in 2014 to 7.15/100,000 in 2018. A total of 1149 individual data were collected, with a mean age of 49.59±13.14 years and 75.7% were male. Patients aged more than 60 years were more likely to have arthralgia/myalgia than the other age groups, and patients who had an enlarged spleen in male were more than female (P<0.05). There were more acute brucellosis cases, less sub-acute and chronic brucellosis cases in the ethnic minority (83.6%, 5.5% and 11.0%, respectively) than that in the Han nationality (64.7%, 22.2% and 13.0%, respectively, P<0.05). For antibiotic therapy, "Doxycycline plus rifampicin or streptomycin" was the most commonly used drug combination. Sheep/goat was the main contacted animal and feeding/grazing was the most frequent transmission route; no personal protective measures were the major risk factor. Conclusion The incidence of human brucellosis is still high in Huludao, China, and this is mostly associated with contacting with domestic animals and barely taking protective measures. The most common clinical manifestations of brucellosis patients in Huludao were fatigue, hyperhidrosis, fever, and arthralgia/myalgia, the most common route of exposure was feeding and grazing, and the major species of livestock was sheep/goat. The most commonly adopted treatment option was antibiotic therapy, and most patients responded well to treatment. The integrality and accuracy of the notifiable epidemiological case questionnaire needs to be improved in order to provide more factual and objective information for both the physicians and policy-makers.

Abstract
Our ability to predict evolutionary trajectories of pathogens in response to antibiotic pressure is one of the promising leverage to fight against the present antibiotic resistance worldwide crisis. Yet, few studies tackled this question in situ at the outbreak level, due to the difficulty to link a given pathogenic clone evolution with its precise antibiotic exposure over time. In this study, we monitored the real-time evolution of an Aeromonas salmonicida clone in response to successive antibiotic and vaccine therapies in a commercial fish farm. The clone was responsible for a four-year outbreak of furunculosis within a Recirculating Aquaculture System Salmo salar farm in China, and we reconstructed the precise tempo of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) acquisition events during this period. The resistance profile provided by the acquired MGEs closely mirrored the antibiotics used to treat the outbreak, and we evidenced that two subclonal groups developed similar resistances although unrelated MGE acquisitions. Finally, we also demonstrated the efficiency of vaccination in outbreak management and its positive effect on antibiotic resistance prevalence. Our study provides unprecedented knowledge critical to understand evolutionary trajectories of resistant pathogens outside the laboratory.

Abstract
It has been widely reported that concrete words have processing advantages over abstract words in terms of speed and efficiency of processing, a phenomenon known as the concreteness effect. However, little is still known about the early time-course of processing concrete and abstract words and whether this concreteness effect can still persist in conditions where attention is not focused on the words presented (automatic processing). This study aimed to shed light on these issues by examining the electrophysiological brain responses to concrete and abstract words. While participants were engaged in a non-linguistic color tracking task presented in the center of the monitor screen, matched Chinese concrete and abstract single-character words appeared within a passive oddball paradigm, out of the focus of attention. In calculating visual Mismatch Negativity (vMMN), Event-related potentials (ERPs) to words of the same semantic category were compared when these words were presented as deviants and standards. Before 320 ms, both abstract and concrete words yielded vMMN with left-lateralized distribution, suggesting similar verbal processing at an initial processing stage. After 320 ms, only concrete words additionally elicited vMMN with a central distribution. Time frequency (TF) analysis of the results also revealed larger theta power increase (200–300 ms) and theta power phase locking (200–450 ms) for concrete than for abstract words. Interestingly, there was more alpha power decrease for abstract than for concrete words from 300 to 450 ms. This may reflect the greater difficulty in processing abstract meaning. Taken together, our ERP and TF results point to the existence of different neural mechanisms underlying non-attentive processing of abstract and concrete words.

Abstract
Deposition of intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the most important traits for the evaluation of beef carcass quality grade. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an endogenous non-coding RNA that can play a role in the post-transcriptional regulation of mammalian preadipocyte differentiation. Previously, we identified that bta-miR-130a regulates milk fat biosynthesis by targeting PPARG mRNA. However, the role of miR-130 in the regulation of bovine adipocyte differentiation remains unknown. In this study, we found that overexpression of bta-miR-130a/b led to significantly decreased cellular triacylglycerol (TAG) levels during adipogenesis process as well as reduced lipid droplet formation. In contrast, the inhibition of bta-miR-130a/b resulted in larger lipid droplets and TAG accumulation. In addition, overexpression of bta-miR-130a/b inhibited the expression of adipocyte differentiation-related genes, including PPARG, C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, FABP4, LPIN1, and LPL. Western blot analysis verified qPCR results on the expression of PPARG and CYP2U1. A luciferase reporter assay further verified bta-miR-130a/b significantly affects PPARG and CYP2U1 expression by directly binding to their 3'-untranslated regions (UTR). We conducted in vitro rescue assay to confirm that bta-miR-130a/b affect bovine adipocyte differentiation by targeting PPARG and CYP2U1. This study shows that bta-miR-130a and bta-miR-130b play similar roles in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation in beef muscles by targeting the 3'UTR of PPARG and CYP2U1. Our result provides a reference for illustrating how noncoding RNAs affects beef quality traits in cattle.

Abstract
DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification of the genome and has an essential role in muscle development. The SIX1 gene is thought to play a principal role in mediating skeletal muscle development. In the present study, we determined that bovine SIX1 expression levels were significantly higher in the fetal bovine group (FB) and in undifferentiated Qinchuan cattle muscle cells (QCMCs) than in the adult bovine group (AB) and in differentiated QCMCs. Moreover, a bisulfite sequencing polymerase chain reaction (BSP) analysis of DNA methylation levels showed that three CpG sites in the core promoter region (−216/−28) of the bovine SIX1 gene exhibited significantly higher DNA methylation levels in the AB and differentiated QCMCs groups. In addition, we found that DNA methylation of SIX1 core promoter in vitro obviously influences the promoter activities. An electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, in combination with site-directed mutation and siRNA interference, demonstrated that histone H4 and E2F2 bind to the −216/−28 region and play important roles in SIX1 methylation regulation during development. The results of this study provide the foundation for a better understanding of the regulation of bovine SIX1 expression via methylation and muscle developmental in beef cattle.

Abstract
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is an enzyme involved with fat deposition and fatty acid composition in cattle. This study was conducted to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the FASN gene and explore their relationships with ultrasound carcass traits in order to assess the potential use of the FASN gene for the breeding selection of Qinchuan cattle for desirable carcass traits. The frequencies of SNP g.12740C>T, g.13192T>C and g.13232C>T were identified in 525 individual Qinchuan cattle which were also assessed for backfat depth, eye muscle area and intramuscular fat by ultrasound. According to the PIC values, g.13192T>C possessed an intermediate polymorphism (0.25<PIC<0.5). The SNPs of g.13232C>T, g.12740C>T possessed low polymorphism (PIC<0.25). Chi-square tests showed that g.13192T>C were in Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium (c2<c0.052). Two SNPs were found to be associated with variation in ultrasound carcass traits. The H2H2 diplotypes had a greater back fat depth than H1H1, H1H4 and H1H2 (P<0.01). The TT genotype at g.13192T>C was associated with a greater eye muscle area and the TT genotype at g.13232C>T was associated with greater intramuscular fat. When these genotypes were combined there was no difference in eye muscle area and intramuscular fat between the diplotypes. The H2H2 diplotype was associated with carcass traits that are likely to provide economic advantage in Qinchuan cattle. Variations in the FASN genes and their corresponding genotypes may be considered as molecular markers for economic traits in cattle breeding.

Abstract
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is an emerging penaeid shrimp disease caused by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Although V. parahaemolyticus has been isolated and sequenced from several Asia countries, the epidemiological links among the AHPND outbreaks in different locations remain unclear. In this study, we sequenced the genomes of nine strains isolated in China between 2014 and 2016 from four sampling sites in three provinces. Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among the nine isolates yielded an average of 35,519 SNPs per isolate, ranging from 35,001 SNPs to 35,889 SNPs relative to the reference genome FDA_R31. To capture the genetic diversity of V. parahaemolyticus in Asia and Mexico, 93 published genomes were included in the analysis. Phylogenetic analysis divided the 102 isolates into 5 clades from I to V, with the majority belonging to Clade I and Clade II. There were at least 12 independent AHPND related clones. The results indicated that the clones recovered from AHPND affected shrimps in Asia were genomically distinct in various locations and there are no epidemiological links between Asian and Mexico outbreaks. Core genome analysis of pVA-1-like plasmid sequences from V. parahaemolyticus revealed that the AHPND-associated plasmids were also genetically diverse. Homology analysis of the publicly available microbial genomes showed that the conjugative transfer gene clusters of the plasmids in AHPND-causing strains were found in 27 V. parahaemolyticus strains and several other Vibrio sp. from 10 countries including five strains isolated prior to the first identification of AHPND outbreak, indicating that the backbone of AHPND- associated plasmid was widely distributed around the globe. In conclusion, at least 11 origins of AHPND outbreaks were identified; as AHPND-causing plasmid is widely distributed globally, prevention strategies for AHPND need to focus on microbial management in the aquaculture system and establishing ecological friendly aquaculture practices instead of detection of plasmid alone. However, more strains from other Asia countries as well as Mexico need to be included for whole genome sequencing (WGS) for reconstruction of the global transmission and the spread patterns of AHPND.
