Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing use of nanoparticles (NP) for gender-selected spermatozoa, sperm-enriched semen and novel extenders raises the concern of undesirable effects on fertility and sperm function. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of gold (Au-), silver (Ag-), and titanium dioxide (TiO2-) NPs on the motility and sperm functions in bovine spermatozoa at various stages of cryopreservation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Frieswal (Sahiwal × Holstein Friesian) bull semen ejaculates (N = 24) were challenged with unconjugated and ligand-free Au-, Ag-, and TiO2-NPs. RESULTS At post-dilution (fresh) stage, there was no significant difference observed in progressive motility and viability amongst the control and any nanoparticle-treated groups, though plasma membrane integrity was significantly reduced in nanoparticle-treated groups (p < 0.05). The acrosome intactness was also significantly reduced in the groups of Ag-NP and TiO2 -NP (p < 0.05), while there was no effect observed in the Au-NP group. At post-equilibration stage, a significant reduction in motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity was observed in all three nanoparticle-treated groups (p < 0.05). There was no difference in intact acrosome between the control and Au-NPs groups; which was significantly higher than the Ag-NP and TiO2 -NP groups (p < 0.05). At post-thaw stage, all NP groups resulted in a significant reduction of motility, viability, acrosome intactness and plasma membrane integrity (p < 0.05). Besides, TiO2-NPs appear to be significant more toxic (p < 0.05) among three NP groups, and Au-NPs appear to be lesser toxic. CONCLUSION Bovine spermatozoa are adversely affected by Au-, Ag- and TiO2 -NPs that may impair sperm motility and other functions. doi.org/10.54680/fr22310110512.

Abstract
Canine adenoviruses (CAVs) are of two types: canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), which causes infectious canine hepatitis, and canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), which is mainly associated with the respiratory type of disease in dogs. Due to the widespread use of modified live vaccines to control canine adenoviral infections and subsequently reduced disease incidence, CAVs are often neglected by clinicians. Although a number of studies are available about CAV-1 prevalence in India, only meagre information is available about CAV-2. This study reports the CAV-2 infection in a vaccinated dog with neurological and respiratory symptoms which was found negative for other canine pathogens like canine distemper virus and canine parvovirus. The virus was successfully isolated from rectal swab in MDCK cells and characterized by immunofluorescence assay and virus neutralization test. On phylogenetic analysis of partial E3 region, the Indian CAV-2 grouped in a separate clade different from established subgroups. An insertion of "G" nucleotide was reported at nucleotide (nt.) position 1077 in the E3 gene of Indian CAV-2 isolates which led to a frameshift in the coding region of E3 gene thereby imparting additional eleven amino acids to its C-terminal end in comparison to isolates from other parts of the world. This may have an implication on the functional role of E3 protein inside the cell. This study reinforces the unique signature insertion in the E3 gene of Indian CAV-2 and is the second study in the world to report the association of CAV-2 with neurological disease in dogs.

Abstract
The human race is consistently striving for achieving good health and eliminate disease-causing factors. For the last few decades, scientists have been endeavoring to invent and innovate technologies that can substitute the conventional dosage forms and enable targeted and prolonged drug release at a particular site. The novel multi-matrix technology is a type of matrix formulation where the formulation is embraced to have a matrix system with multiple number of matrices. The MMX technology embraces with a combination of outer hydrophilic layer and amphiphilic/lipophilic core layer, within which drug is encapsulated followed by enteric coating for extended/targeted release at the required site. In comparison to conventional oral drug delivery systems and other drug delivery systems, multi-matrix (MMX) technology formulations afford many advantages. Additionally, it attributes for targeting strategy aimed at the colon and offers modified prolonged drug release. Thus, it has emerged rapidly as a potential alternative option in targeted oral drug delivery. However, the development of this MMX technology formulations is a exigent task and also has its own set of limitations. Due to its promising advantages and colon targeting strategy over the other colon targeted drug delivery systems, premier global companies are exploiting its potential. This article review deep insights into the formulation procedures, drug delivery mechanism, advantages, limitations, safety and efficacy studies of various marketed drug formulations of MMX technology including regulatory perspectives and future perspectives.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
TAVI has emerged as an attractive treatment modality based on promising recent trial data. Patients with BAV, a commonly encountered clinical condition have largely been excluded from a majority of trials.
Purpose
Elderly patients with BAV and severe AS are increasingly encountered in clinical practice. This meta-analysis compares clinical outcomes between bicuspid and tricuspid AV patients to address the current knowledge-gap and identify optimal management strategies of these patients.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane to identify the available observational studies comparing outcomes of TAVI in BAV and TAV patients. Summary effects were calculated using a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model as odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals for all the clinical endpoints.
Results
16 Observational studies met inclusion criteria, comprising 10,053 patients with BAV and 173,307 patients with TAV that underwent TAVI. No significant differences in 30-day and long-term mortality rates were observed. Patients with BAV had an increased risk of stroke (OR 1.23; 95% CI [1.06–1.44], p=0.007), re-intervention (OR 1.90; 95% CI [1.15–3.15], p=0.01), paravalvular leak (OR 1.42; 95% CI [1.25–1.61], p<0.ehab724.22251), conversion to open surgery (OR 1.93; 95% CI [1.21–3.07], p=0.006), and new pacemaker implantation (1.57; 95% CI (1.06 - 2.33, p=0.02). Adverse event rates are lower with the use of newer generation of valves. No significant difference in major vascular complications, major bleeding, or incidence of AKI was noted.
Conclusions
Complication rates for BAV TAVI are higher, but mortality is similar to TAV TAVI indicating TAVI is an appropriate alternative for intermediate-high risk patients with BAV. A better understanding of valve anatomy, physician expertise, the use of newer-generation valves can help reduce these complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Conduction abnormalities are frequently encountered after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) performed for severe aortic stenosis, leading to post-procedure permanent pacemaker (PPM) insertion. Although the predictors of- and factors leading to post-TAVR PPM have been studied extensively, its short-term and long-term outcomes have not been established.
Purpose
PPM placement can lead to significant changes in outcomes in post-TAVR patients, which remain unclear. With this analysis, we aim to evaluate the differences between outcomes of patients requiring PPM and those not requiring PPM post-TAVR.
Methods
A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane to identify relevant trials. Outcomes were compared between the two groups of patients- those requiring post-TAVR PPM and those not requiring post-TAVR PPM. Summary effects were calculated using a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model as odds ratio (OD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for all the clinical endpoints.
Results
34 studies, including observational and prospective studies, met our inclusion criteria, with a total of 76,402 patients undergoing TAVR and 10,381 requiring post-TAVR PPM. There were no significant differences between 30-days (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.96–1.13) and 1-year (OR 1.09; 95% CI 0.72–1.03) all-cause mortality rates, and 30-days (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.72–1.03) and 1-year (OR 0.85; 95% CI 0.70–1.04) cardiovascular deaths among the two groups. Incidence of heart failure was higher in the post-TAVR PPM group at 30 days (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.05–1.51) but not at 1 year (OR 1.21; 95% CI 0.93–1.57). No significant difference was noted between the two groups in 30-days or 1-year stroke, 30-days or 1-year myocardial infarction, 30-days or 1-year atrial fibrillation, 30-days or 1-year major bleeding, or 30-days and 1-year readmission rate. Other outcomes, including post-procedure aortic regurgitation, major vascular complications, minor bleeding, valve migration, and device success, also did not have any statistically significant difference in the two patient groups (Figure 1). Of all the patients who received post-TAVR PPM, an average of 46.4% and 58.5% patients had >40% ventricular pacing, and 48.9% and 41.4% had <40% ventricular pacing at 1-month, and 1-year follow up respectively.
Conclusions
Although there were no differences in the outcomes between the two groups at 30-days and 1-year follow-ups (except the higher incidence of heart failure at 30 days in the post-TAVR PPM group), long-term follow-up studies would be needed to identify any possible adverse events after one year. Also, a significant number of patients requiring post-TAVR PPM had <40% ventricular pacing at 1-month and even at 1-year intervals, which might suggest adopting an alternate approach of closely monitoring any conduction disturbances and avoiding early PPM implantation in post-TAVR patients, if possible.

Abstract
The current pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) has underlined the importance of emerging diseases of zoonotic importance. Along with human beings, several species of wild and pet animals have been demonstrated to be infected by SARS‐CoV‐2, both naturally and experimentally. In addition, with constant emergence of new variants, the species susceptibility might further change which warrants intensified screening efforts. India is a vast and second most populated country, with a habitat of a very diverse range of animal species. In this study we place on record of SARS‐CoV‐2 infections in three captive Asiatic lions. Detailed genomic characterization revealed involvement of Delta mutant (Pango lineage B.1.617.2) of SARS‐CoV‐2 at two different locations. Interestingly, no other feline species enclosed in the zoo/park were found infected. The epidemiological and molecular analysis will contribute to the understanding of the emerging mutants of SARS‐CoV‐2 in wild and domestic animals.

Abstract
Renal cystic diseases are a clinically and genetically diverse group of renal diseases that can manifest in utero, infancy, or throughout childhood and adulthood. These diseases may be unilateral or bilateral with a single cyst or multiple cysts, or with increased echogenicity of the renal cortex without macroscopic cysts. Certain cystic renal diseases are life-threatening, with many developing chronic kidney and hepatic disease if not recognized early enough. Therefore, due to the prevalence and life-altering complications of this specific group of diseases in vulnerable populations, it is crucial for clinicians and healthcare providers to have an overall understanding of cystic diseases and how to pre-emptively detect and manage these conditions. In this review, we discuss in detail the epidemiology, genetics and pathophysiology, diagnosis, presentation, and management of numerous genetic and sporadic renal cystic diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease, multicystic dysplastic kidney, and calyceal diverticula, with an emphasis on prenatal care and pregnancy counseling.

Abstract
Abstract
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the fastest growing thermoplastic polymers in the world, second only to polyethylene. This is primarily due to its excellent balance of physical and chemical properties at a lower cost. PP however possesses low melt strength on account of its linear structure and hence is not easily amenable to processing techniques that involve free surface stretching deformations like thermoforming, blow molding and extrusion film casting. One way to enhance the melt strength of PP is to incorporate long chain branches in its molecular architecture. The present study focuses on the impact of rheology of linear and branched PP on their thermoforming characteristics. Two grades each of linear and long chain branched (LCB) PP homopolymer and impact copolymer (ICP) were used. It was observed that the LCB-PP homopolymer and LCB-ICP showed higher flow activation energy, reduced value of loss tangent and nearly equal frequency dependence of storage and loss moduli in shear rheology. Also, a strong strain hardening behavior was displayed in extensional rheology by the LCB grades. Plug assist thermoforming experiments were carried out to assess the effect of long chain branching on surface strain and thickness distribution for axisymmetric cups of two draw ratios. Biaxial surface strain maps of the formed cups were quantified using Grid Strain Analysis (GSA). Thermoformed cups made from LCB-PP homopolymer and LCB-impact copolymer showed lower surface strain and overall higher thickness as compared to cups made from their linear counterparts, which is in accordance with what might be expected from their rheology.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs), predominantly gold (AuNPs), are easily internalised into cells and commonly employed as nanosensors for reporter-based and reporter-free intracellular SERS applications. While AuNPs are generally considered non-toxic to cells, many biological and toxicity studies report that exposure to NPs induces cell stress through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the upregulated transcription of pro-inflammatory genes, which can result in severe genotoxicity and apoptosis. Despite this, the extent to which normal cellular metabolism is affected by AuNP internalisation remains a relative unknown along with the contribution of the uptake itself to the SERS spectra obtained from within so called 'healthy' cells, as indicated by traditional viability tests. This work aims to interrogate the perturbation created by treatment with AuNPs under different conditions and the corresponding effect on the SERS spectra obtained. We characterise the changes induced by varying AuNP concentrations and medium serum compositions using biochemical assays and correlate them to the corresponding intracellular reporter-free SERS spectra. The different serum conditions lead to different extents of nanoparticle internalisation. We observe that changes in SERS spectra are correlated to an increasing amount of internalisation, confirmed qualitatively and quantitatively by confocal imaging and ICP-MS analysis, respectively. We analyse spectra and characterise changes that can be attributed to nanoparticle induced changes. Thus, our study highlights a need for understanding condition-dependent NP-cell interactions and standardisation of nanoparticle treatments in order to establish the validity of intracellular SERS experiments for use in all arising applications.

Abstract
The azimuthal anisotropy coefficient v_{2} of prompt D^{0}, D^{+}, D^{*+}, and D_{s}^{+} mesons was measured in midcentral (30%-50% centrality class) Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The D mesons were reconstructed via their hadronic decays at midrapidity, |y|<0.8, in the transverse momentum interval 1<p_{T}<24 GeV/c. The measured D-meson v_{2} has similar values as that of charged pions. The D_{s}^{+} v_{2}, measured for the first time, is found to be compatible with that of nonstrange D mesons. The measurements are compared with theoretical calculations of charm-quark transport in a hydrodynamically expanding medium and have the potential to constrain medium parameters.

Abstract
This is a prospective, controlled, randomized clinical study to evidence the role of nitrosative stress in development of overt neurological sign of canine distemper (CD). The enrollment of cases wasa made on basis of overt sign of CD (n=139) and the findings were compared with apparently healthy dogs (n=15). The CD specific immunoglobulins resulted in 94 confirmed positive cases. The nitric oxide (NO) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (18.08 ± 2.76, 415.84 ± 46.24, respectively) and plasma (32.68 ± 4.31, 321.31 ± 102.30, respectively) were significantly (P<0.05) elevated as compared to healthy control group. The concentration of neuron specific enolase (NSE) in CSF and plasma were also significantly (P<0.05) higher in dogs suffering from CD. The significant differences in other biochemical parameters like total protein, albumin and globulin were found in the CSF of dogs compared with healthy control. The author concludes that NO plays a role in pathophysiology of neurological form of CD and nNOS and NSE estimation in CSF and plasma could help in making early diagnosis of clinical cases.

Abstract
The measurement of two-particle angular correlations is a powerful tool to study jet quenching in a p_{T} region inaccessible by direct jet identification. In these measurements pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal (Δφ) differences are used to extract the shape of the near-side peak formed by particles associated with a higher p_{T} trigger particle (1<p_{T,trig}<8 GeV/c). A combined fit of the near-side peak and long-range correlations is applied to the data allowing the extraction of the centrality evolution of the peak shape in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. A significant broadening of the peak in the Δη direction at low p_{T} is found from peripheral to central collisions, which vanishes above 4 GeV/c, while in the Δφ direction the peak is almost independent of centrality. For the 10% most central collisions and 1<p_{T,assoc}<2 GeV/c, 1<p_{T,trig}<3 GeV/c a novel feature is observed: a depletion develops around the center of the peak. The results are compared to pp collisions at the same center of mass energy and ampt model simulations. The comparison to the investigated models suggests that the broadening and the development of the depletion is connected to the strength of radial and longitudinal flow.
