Abstract
Abstract
Six ruminally cannulated steers [475.0 ± 49.6 kg initial body weight (BW)] were used in a 6 × 3 incomplete Latin square design (6 treatments and 3 periods), to evaluate the impacts replacing of corn silage with pelleted soyhulls as roughage in high-concentrate finishing diets containing 30% modified distillers grains with solubles. Treatments were based on increasing dietary inclusion of soyhulls and consisted of: 1) Control (0), roughage supplied by dietary inclusion of 20% corn silage [dry matter (DM) basis], 2) 50% replacement of corn silage with soyhulls (50), 3) 100% replacement of corn silage with soyhulls (100), and the same three treatments repeated with 3% added wheat straw (DM basis) replacing corn in the diet (0S, 50S, and 100S, respectively). Absolute dry matter intake (DMI; kg/d basis) tended to decrease both linearly and quadratically (P ≤ 0.09) and proportional DMI (% of BW) decreased linearly (P = 0.04) with increasing soyhull inclusion but was not affected by the addition of straw in the diet (P = 0.68). Total tract digestibility of organic matter and crude protein were not affected by soyhull inclusion or added straw (P ≥ 0.32). Ruminal pH did not differ (P = 0.65) with increasing soyhull inclusion but increased with the addition of straw (P < 0.01; 5.9 versus 6.1 for no straw and straw, respectively). Molar proportions of acetate and butyrate decreased while propionate increased with increased soyhull inclusion (P ≤ 0.03; linearly and quadratically respectively). Ruminal fluid kinetics were unaffected be either rate of replacement of corn silage with soyhulls or wheat straw inclusion (P ≥ 0.13). Decreases in DMI observed in this study would likely decrease finishing cattle performance and underscores the need for additional research before recommending this practice to cattle feeders.

Abstract
Abstract
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the inclusion rate roughage in wheat-based diets containing modified distillers grains with solubles (MDGS) on feedlot performance (Feedlot Experiment), as well as digestibility, ruminal pH, and ruminal fermentation characteristics (Digestibility Experiment). The feedlot experiment utilized 72 Angus steers (392 ± 46.3 kg initial body weight; BW) which were randomly assigned to 1 of 12 pens, 3 pens per treatment, to evaluate feedlot performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary treatments were 1) control; 10% roughage, 2) 12% roughage, 3) 14% roughage, and 4) 16% roughage. The digestibility experiment used 4 ruminally and duodenally cannulated steers (393 ± 33.0 kg) in a 4 × 4 Latin Square with either 10%, 12%, 14%, or 16% roughage as in the feedlot experiment. However, dietary roughage source was different between these two experiments and included a combination of grass hay and wheat straw (Feedlot Experiment), and corn silage (Digestibility Experiment). All data were analyzed with the Mixed Procedures of SAS. Feed intake was recorded, with duodenal and fecal output calculated using chromic oxide. Ruminal pH and fermentation were assessed. Growth performance and most carcass characteristics were not affected by increasing roughage (P ≥ 0.11). Marbling tended to decrease linearly (P = 0.10) with increasing roughage inclusion. Increasing dietary roughage content had no effect on organic matter intake (P = 0.60) in the digestibility experiment. Intake, duodenal flow, and digestibility of NDF and ADF were not affected by treatment (P ≥ 0.16). Ruminal pH increased linearly (P < 0.01) as rate of roughage inclusion increased. Ruminal concentrations of acetate and butyrate increased, and propionate decreased in a linear fashion (P < 0.01) thereby increasing (P < 0.01) acetate and butyrate to propionate ratio with increasing dietary roughage. Our data indicate that increasing roughage inclusion in wheat-based diets including 30% MDGS increased ruminal pH and shifted ruminal fermentation patterns. Additionally, increasing roughage inclusion did not affect feedlot performance in steers fed wheat at 36 to 42% of dietary DM in combination with 30% MDGS.

Abstract
This study was conducted to determine effects of pre-synchronization of ovulation timing among heifers and delayed fixed-time artificial insemination (TAI) with sex-sorted semen on proportion of heifers pregnant after TAI (PR/AI). Heifers were assigned to one of eight treatments: 1 and 2), 7-d CO-Synch + CIDR treatment regimen with administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and a CIDR insert on Day 0, prostaglandin F2α (PGF) at CIDR removal on Day 7, and TAI occurring 54 h later with conventionally processed (CTRL54-CNV) or sex-sorted semen (CTRL54-SEX); 3 and 4), same as CTRL54 but TAI delayed to 72 h with conventionally processed (CTRL72-CNV) or sex-sorted semen (CTRL72-SEX); 5 and 6), same as CTRL54 but additional administration of PGF on Day -7 and TAI with conventionally processed (PRE54-CNV) or sex-sorted semen (PRE54-SEX); 7 and 8), same as PRE54 treatments but TAI delayed to 72 h with conventionally processed (PRE72-CNV) or sex-sorted semen (PRE72-SEX). Proportion of heifers pregnant after TAI was greater (P ≤ 0.02) with conventionally processed semen compared with sex-sorted semen, yet PR/AI did not differ (P = 0.14) between heifers in PRE72-CNV and PRE72-SEX groups. There were greater PR/AI in the PRE72-SEX (P = 0.03) than CTRL54-SEX group (46.1 % and 36.9 %) and there was no difference (P = 0.31) in PR/AI between CTRL54-CNV and PRE72-SEX groups (50.4 % and 46.1 %). In conclusion, pre-synchronization of ovulation timing among heifers combined with delayed TAI resulted in increased PR/AI with sex-sorted semen compared with the 7-d CO-Synch+CIDR treatment regimen.

Abstract
This report describes the diagnostic process of a rare disorder in a Brazilian female child. The patient presented initially as a 7-year-old with multiple whitish submucosal nodules of a fibrous consistency in the lower lip, but with an inconclusive pathology report. When she turned 9 years of age, she presented with exacerbation of the original clinical findings, which then involved the upper lip, buccal mucosa, tongue and lingual frenulum. In addition, dermatological lesions were noted on the child's limbs and face, as well as a hoarse voice. Histopathological examination of the buccal mucosa revealed dense connective tissue with hyaline foci, which were positive with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and resistant to diastase digestion. Clinical and histopathological findings led to the diagnosis of a rare genetic disease with fewer than 300 reported cases - lipoid proteinosis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed calcium deposits in her amygdaloid region of the brain, and nasopharyngolaryngoscopy revealed lesions in her vocal cords. The patient currently is stable and under multidisciplinary follow-up, but no treatment has been recommended to date.

Abstract
We hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact utero-placental mRNA expression of the nutrient transporters , , , , and in beef heifers. Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 49) were estrous synchronized, bred via AI, assigned to nutritional treatment (CON = 100% of NRC requirements for 0.45 kg/d gain and RES = 60% of CON) and ovariohysterectomized on d 16, 34, or 50 of gestation (n = 6 to 9/d); Non-bred, non-pregnant (NB-NP) controls were fed the CON diet, not bred, and were ovariohysterectomized on d 16 of the synchronized estrous cycle = 6). The resulting arrangement of treatments was a 2 × 3 factorial + 1 (CON vs. RES × d 16, 34, or 50 + NB-NP controls). Caruncle (CAR), intercaruncular endometrium (ICAR), and fetal membranes (FM [chorioallantois]), were obtained from the pregnant uterine horn (the uterine horn containing the conceptus) immediately after ovariohysterectomy. On d 50 cotyledons (COT), intercotyledonary placenta (ICOT) and amnion (AMN) were also collected. Relative expression of nutrient transporters was determined for each tissue utilizing NB-NP-CAR and NB-NP-ICAR tissues as the baseline. For FM, NB-NP endometrium served as the baseline. There was no interaction of day × treatment ( ≥ 0.20) for any genes in CAR. However, CAR expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 16 compared with d 34 and 50, and , , and were greater ( ≤ 0.05) on d 34 compared with d 16 and 50. In ICAR, was the only gene to be influenced by the day × treatment interaction ( = 0.01), being greater in d 50 CON compared with d 34 CON and d 16 and 50 RES. In ICAR, expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 16 compared with d 34, and expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 34 and 50 compared with d 16. In FM, expression of was greater ( = 0.04) on d 16 compared with d 50 of gestation, and expression of was greater ( < 0.01) on d 34 and 50 compared with d 16. On d 50, expression of , , and expression were all greater ( < 0.05) in AMN compared with COT and ICOT, and expression of was greater ( < 0.01) in ICOT compared with COT and AMN. These data indicate that day was a more influential factor for mRNA expression of utero-placental glucose and cationic AA transporters than maternal nutritional status in heifers during early pregnancy.

Abstract
We hypothesized that both day of gestation and maternal nutrition would alter the relative mRNA expression of neutral and acid AA transporters , , , , and . Crossbred Angus heifers ( = 49) were synchronized, bred via AI, assigned to nutritional treatment (100% of NRC requirements for 0.45 kg/d gain [control heifers {CON}] and 60% of CON [restricted heifers {RES}]), and ovariohysterectomized on d 16, 34, or 50 of gestation ( = 6 to 9/d). Nonbred, nonpregnant (NB-NP) controls were ovariohysterectomized on d 16 of the estrous cycle ( = 6) after synchronization. The resulting arrangement was a 2 × 3 factorial + 1 (CON vs. RES × d 16, 34, or 50 + NB-NP controls). Tissues collected included caruncular endometrium (CAR), intercaruncular endometrium (ICAR), fetal membranes (FM; chorioallantois; d 16 and 34), cotyledonary placenta (COT; d 50 only), intercotyledonary placenta (ICOT; d 50 only), and amnion (AMN; d 50 only]). Relative expression of , , , , and was determined for each tissue using NB-NP CAR and NB-NP ICAR tissues for the baseline; for FM, endometrium from NB-NP controls served as the baseline. In CAR, no day × treatment interaction was observed ( > 0.05). However, day of gestation affected relative expression of , where expression on d 16 was greater ( < 0.01) than expression on d 34 and 50. Additionally, relative expression of and was greater ( ≤ 0.05) in pregnant heifers compared with NB-NP heifers. For ICAR, was influenced by a day × treatment interaction ( < 0.01), where expression in d 16 RES was greater ( ≤ 0.05) than that of any other day or nutritional treatment. Furthermore, expression in d 16 CON was greater ( ≤ 0.05) than that in d 50 RES, with those in d 34 CON and RES and d 50 CON being intermediate. In addition, was affected by day of gestation, where expression on d 16 was greater ( < 0.01) than that on d 34 and 50. A day × treatment interaction was not observed ( > 0.05) in FM; however, expression on d 34 was greater ( = 0.02) than on d 50, with that on d 16 being intermediate. Day of gestation also affected expression of , where expression on d 34 and 50 was greater ( < 0.01) than that on d 16. These data support our hypothesis in that both day of gestation and maternal nutrition affected the relative mRNA expression of AA transporter in ICAR, whereas day of gestation has a greater effect on the relative mRNA expression of other neutral and acidic AA transporters in the various tissues studied.

Abstract
We hypothesized that the endogenous retroviruses [ERV: syncytin-Rum1 and (BERV-K1)], and pregnancy hormones [interferon-τ (IFN-τ), and pregnancy associated glycoprotein-1 (PAG-1)] would be differentially expressed whereas progesterone and insulin concentrations in maternal blood would remain steady during early gestation. To test this hypothesis Angus crossbred heifers (n = 46; ∼15 mo of age; BW = 363 ± 35 kg) were fed native grass hay, supplemented with cracked corn to gain 0.3 kg/d, and given ad libitum access to water. All heifers were subjected to a 5-d CO-Synch + CIDR estrous synchronization protocol and AI (breeding = d 0). Ovariohysterectomies were performed on d 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, and 50 of gestation and at d 16 of the estrous cycle for non-pregnant (NP) controls. Utero-placental tissues [maternal caruncle (CAR); maternal intercaruncular endometrium (ICAR); and fetal membranes, (FM, chorion on d 16, chorioallantois on d 22 to 50)] were collected from the uterine horn ipsilateral to the corpus luteum (CL). Tissues were flash frozen and stored at –80°C. Expression of mRNA was evaluated using qPCR. In CAR, syncytin-Rum1 expression was greater (P < 0.01) on d 50 (81.5-fold) compared with NP controls or any other day of early pregnancy. In contrast, syncytin-Rum1 expression in I-CAR only tended (P = 0.09) to change across days of early pregnancy and did not differ (P = 0.27) in FM tissues. In CAR, the expression of BERV-K1 was not different (P > 0.79) at d 16 and 22, was intermediate at d 28, 34, and 40, and was greatest on d 50 (108-fold increase compared with NP). Expression of BERV-K1 in FM was increased (P < 0.01) on d 28, 34, and 50 compared with NP controls, but at d 40 did not differ from NP controls. The mRNA expression of IFN-τ in FM at d 22 was greater (P < 0.01) than all other days of gestation. In CAR, expression of PAG-1 increased (P < 0.001) dramatically on d 40 (20,000-fold) and d 50 (86,000-fold) compared with NP heifers (P < 0.01). In ICAR, expression of PAG-1 was greater (P < 0.05) on d 28 and 40 (fold increases of 113 and 102, respectively, compared with NP). Insulin concentrations were not different (P = 0.53) but progesterone was greater (P < 0.01) on d 16, 22, 28, 34, and 40 compared with d 50 of gestation. These data confirm differential ERV, IFN-τ, and PAG-1 gene expression during critical time points of early gestation in utero-placental tissues.

Abstract
Glucose transporter solute carrier family 2 member 14 () is a duplicon of glucose transporter solute carrier family 2 member 3 () with a 95% shared homology to and has not previously been isolated in ruminant uteroplacental tissues. The transporter has been previously isolated in Holstein heifer uterine epithelium but not in ovine epithelium. We hypothesized that and its duplicon would be found in bovine uteroplacental tissues and that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact mRNA expression of and . Crossbred Angus heifers ( = 49) were estrus synchronized, bred via AI, and assigned to nutritional treatment (CON = 100% of requirements to gain 0.45 kg/d; RES = 60% of CON) at breeding. Ovariohysterectomy was performed on d 16, 34, or 50 of gestation ( = 6 to 9/d); nonpregnant (NP) controls were not bred and ovariohysterectomized on d 16 of the synchronized estrous cycle ( = 6). The resulting treatment arrangement was a 2 × 3 factorial + 1. Uteroplacental tissues (caruncle, CAR; intercaruncular endometrium, ICAR; and fetal membrane [chorioallantois], FM) were obtained from the pregnant uterine horn immediately after ovariohysterectomy. For NP controls, only CAR and ICAR were obtained. There were no day × treatment interactions for or gene expression in CAR, ICAR, or FM. Expression of in CAR was greater ( = 0.03) on d 50 compared with d 16. In ICAR, was greatest ( = 0.02) on d 50 compared with d 16 and 34 of gestation. In FM, was greater ( = 0.04) on d 16 compared with d 50. Expression of was greater ( = 0.05) in pregnant compared with nonpregnant heifers. Additionally, expression of was greater ( = 0.01) on d 34 and 50 compared with d 16. Expression of in CAR was greater ( = 0.03) on d 50 compared to d 16 and 34. In CAR, tended ( = 0.07) to be greater on d 34 and 50 than on d 16 and was greater ( = 0.02) on d 50 than on d 34. There was no effect of treatment for either or in CAR, ICAR, or FM. These data demonstrate that glucose transporters and are expressed in beef heifer uteroplacental tissues and that they are expressed differentially by day of gestation in bovine uteroplacental tissues.

Abstract
Endogenous retroviral gene elements have been implicated in development and formation of the feto-maternal interface. A variant of the syncytin endogenous retroviral envelope gene family, , was recently found in ruminants. We hypothesized that mRNA would be differentially expressed in utero-placental tissues and would fluctuate during key time points of early gestation in beef heifers. Commercial Angus crossbred heifers ( = 46; ∼15 mo of age; BW = 362.3 ± 34.7kg) housed in 6-animal pens were fed daily with native grass hay and supplemented with cracked corn to gain 0.3 kg/d. The heifers were estrus synchronized, artificially inseminated, (d of breeding= d 0) and ovariohysterectomized on d 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, and 50 ( = 9, 6, 6, 7, 6, and 5, respectively) of gestation and at d 16 of the estrous cycle for non-bred, non-pregnant controls (NP; = 7). Harvested tissues were separated into maternal caruncle (CAR), intercarunclar endometrium (ICAR), and fetal membranes, (FM; chorioallantois, d 22 and later). All tissues were obtained from the ipsilateral uterine horn to the CL. Statistical analyses were conducted via the GLM procedure of SAS. Maternal CAR expression of was greater ( = 0.003) on d 50 by 81.5-fold compared to NP controls. At d 50 expression of in CAR was 190.3-fold greater than ( < 0.0001) ICAR. Fetal membranes had greater ( < 0.002) expression of from d 22 until d 50 of gestation compared to maternal ICAR (d 16 not analyzed). Expression of in FM was greater ( < 0.004) than in CAR until d 40 of gestation. Therefore, we conclude that is differentially expressed in utero-placental tissues and may be involved in the establishment of pregnancy. The expression of in maternal tissues is completely novel and indicates unique functions of syncytin in ruminant pregnancy.

Abstract
We hypothesized that maternal nutrient restriction starting at the time of breeding would influence placental vascular development and gene expression of angiogenic factors during the first 50 d of gestation in beef heifers. Commercial Angus crossbred heifers (n = 49) were maintained on a total mixed ration and supplemented with dried distillers grains with solubles. All heifers were subject to 5-d CO-Synch + CIDR estrous synchronization protocol, AI to a single Angus sire, and randomly assigned to dietary treatments. One half were assigned to control diet (CON) targeted to gain 0.45 kg/d and the remaining half were assigned to restricted diet (RES), which received 60% of CON. Heifers were subjected to ovariohysterectomy on d 16, 34, or 50 of gestation. Utero-placental tissues were obtained from the uterine horns ipsilateral and contralateral to the corpus luteum and separated into maternal caruncle (CAR); maternal endometrium, inter-caruncle (ICAR), and fetal membranes (FM). After collection, all tissues were snap frozen and stored at -80°C. There were no treatment × stage of gestation interactions (P >0.13) on the mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Heifers on CON treatment had greater (P = 0.03) expression of VEGF compared with RES heifers in NP-ICAR. On d 50 expression of eNOS was increased (P = 0.05) compared with d 16 in P-CAR. Expression of eNOS mRNA was decreased (P = 0.04) on d 16 compared with d 34 and 50 in CON heifer. Gene expression of eNOS was increased (P < 0.001) in the pregnant uterine horn compared with the NP uterine horn on d 34 and 50. Expression of eNOS was also increased (P < 0.003) on d 34 and 50 in the pregnant uterine horn compared with FM. There was a maternal nutritional plane × stage of gestation interaction (P = 0.01) on the vascular ratio (vascular volume/tissue volume) in maternal tissues. The RES heifers had a greater vascular ratio on d 16 compared with d 34 and 50; whereas, CON heifers had a greater vascular ratio on d 34 compared with d 16 and 50. In the NP uterine horn, there was also an increase (P = 0.02) in vascular volume of FM from CON heifers compared with FM from RES heifers. We conclude that maternal nutrient restriction did alter both vascularity and mRNA expression of angiogenic factor in utero-placental tissues during the establishment of pregnancy in first parity beef heifers.

Abstract
During early gestation, nutrients are transported to the developing embryo via transporters in the uterine endometrium and chorioallantois. In the present study, we examined glucose transporters and and the cationic AA transporters , , and to test the hypotheses that 1) relative mRNA expression of transporters would be different among uteroplacental tissue type as gestation progresses and 2) concentrations of glucose and cationic AA would be different among target sites (placental compartments, serum, and histotrophic) and days of gestation. To test these hypotheses, crossbred Angus heifers ( = 46) were synchronized, bred via AI, and then ovariohysterectomized on d 16, 22, 28, 34, 40, or 50 of gestation (5 to 9/d) or not bred and ovariohysterectomized on d 16 of the synchronized estrous cycle ( = 7) to serve as nonpregnant (NP) controls. Uteroplacental tissues (maternal caruncle [CAR], intercaruncular endometrium [ICAR], and fetal membranes [FM; chorioallantois, d 22 and later]) were collected from the uterine horn ipsilateral to the corpus luteum immediately following ovariohysterectomy. Relative mRNA expression of the glucose transporters and cationic AA transporters was determined for each tissue from d 16 to 50 of gestation and from NP controls. Chorioallantoic, amniotic, and plasma fluids were collected from heifers on d 40 and 50 of gestation to determine concentrations of glucose and cationic AA. Expression of and showed a tendency ( < 0.10) toward being greater in d 16 ICAR and d 34 ICAR, respectively. Day × tissue interactions ( < 0.05) were present for , , and . Expression of was greater in d 50 CAR, expression of was greater on d 34 in ICAR, and expression of was greater in CAR tissue on d 34 compared with all other tissues and days of gestation. Glucose concentrations tended ( = 0.10) to be impacted by a day × fluid interaction. A day × fluid interaction ( = 0.01) for arginine concentration was observed, with greater concentrations in allantoic fluid on d 40 compared with all other days and fluid types. These data support our hypothesis that glucose and cationic AA transporters differ in their level of mRNA expression due to day of gestation and uteroplacental tissue type. In addition, concentrations of nutrients were differentially impacted by day, target site, and/or their respective interaction.

Abstract
Sixty-nine Angus-sired steer calves (332.3 kg initial BW) were used to determine the effects of single or double implant strategies on steers of high or low genetic potential (GP) determined by the GeneMax (Zoetis, Florham Park, NJ) genetic profiling test. Steers were assigned to treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial design with factors of 1) composite GP score (high, mean GP score of 86.5 [HI]; low, mean GP score of 25.3[LO]) and 2) implant strategy (single, steers implanted on d 70 [1X], or double, steers implanted d 0 and 70 [2X]). All steers were given the same implant (Revalor-S; Merck Animal Health, Summit, NJ), with the 2X group implanted on d 0 and 70 and the 1X group implanted only on d 70. A diet containing 1.38 Mcal NEg/kg DM was fed ad libitum, once daily. Ultrasound was used to measure body composition characteristics on d 0 and 70. Steers were harvested after 140 d on feed. At both the d-0 and d-70 ultrasound, HI steers had greater ( < 0.001) percent intramuscular fat (IMF) than LO steers, but no differences ( ≥ 0.24) were observed in LM area (LMA), rib fat thickness (RF), or rump fat thickness (RMFT). Steers in the 2X group had larger ( = 0.02) LMA and less ( = 0.03) IMF on d 70 than 1X steers and no differences ( ≥ 0.50) in RF or RMFT were observed. From d 0 to 70, HI steers had ADG, DMI, and G:F ( ≥ 0.60) similar to LO steers; however, 2X steers had greater ( < 0.001) ADG and were more ( < 0.001) feed efficient compared with 1X steers during the same interval. Over the entire 140-d feeding period, there were no differences ( ≥ 0.6) in BW, ADG, DMI, or G:F between GP groups; however, 2X steers had greater ( = 0.03) ADG compared with 1X steers and still had similar ( ≥ 0.12) DMI and G:F. Upon slaughter, marbling score tended to be impacted by a GP × implant interaction (499.9 ± 18.5, 545.6 ± 18.5, 487.1 ± 18.5, and 469.8 ± 18.5 for HI and 2X, HI and 1X, LO and 2X, and LO and 1X, respectively; = 0.06). No differences ( ≥ 0.7) were observed between GP groups for HCW, LMA, RF, KPH, or yield grade (YG). Steers in the 1X group had less ( = 0.003) RF than 2X steers but similar ( ≥ 0.14) HCW, marbling, LMA, KPH, and YG. A greater proportion ( = 0.03) of HI steers had choice carcasses (100 ± 0.0%) compared with LO steers (87.8 ± 3.9%). Results of this study indicate that the GP test used in the current study predicted differences in IMF, carcass marbling, and percent carcasses graded as choice.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to compare the growth performance, incidence of prolapse and mortality, carcass characteristics, blood hormone concentration, and N balance of lambs implanted with increasing dosages of zeranol. One hundred forty-four crossbred lambs (29.6 ± 4.9 kg) were used in a completely random design and placed into 16 feedlot pens (4 pens/treatment) for a 116 d finishing study. Lambs were fed an 84.7% corn and 15.3% market lamb pellet (DM basis) diet ad libitum. Treatments were 0, 12, 24, and 36 mg zeranol (Ralgro; Schering-Plough), and lambs were implanted in the ear according to treatment on d 0. Lambs were weighed. Thirty lambs (67.6 ± 3.4 kg) and 96 lambs (65.8 ± 5.1 kg) were harvested on d 84 and d 118, respectively. Carcass data were collected 24 h after chill. Blood samples were collected on d 0, 28, 56, 70, 82, 99, and 116 from 64 lambs (29.6 ± 2.1 kg) in the feedlot study (subsample of 4 lambs per pen) and analyzed for thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and IGF-I. A second study was conducted to compare effects of 0, 12, 24, or 36 mg zeranol on N balance in 16 crossbred lambs (34.8 ± 2.1 kg). There were no differences among treatments for BW, ADG, DMI, and G:F (P > 0.05) in the feedlot study. However, there was a linear increase for incidence of prolapse (P = 0.006; 2.78, 5.55, 24.98, and 27.75%, respectively) and mortality (P = 0.005; 0.00, 5.55, 11.10, and 13.88%, respectively) as zeranol dosage increased. Carcass characteristics, blood hormone concentrations, and N balance were not affected by treatment (P > 0.05). These results indicate zeranol increases incidence of prolapse and mortality without increasing growth performance.

Abstract
Eight ruminally and duodenally cannulated beef steers (374 +/- 11 kg) were used to evaluate effects of advancing season and grazing treatment (season-long; SL or twice-over rotation; TOR) on dietary composition (Exp. 1 and 2), intake, site and extent of digestion, and microbial efficiency (Exp. 2) of native range. In Exp. 1, six 11-d sample collections were conducted from early June to mid-November 2000 and 2001. In vitro OM disappearance decreased (P < or = 0.04) for both years and both treatments with advancing season. Dietary N declined (P < or = 0.07), whereas fiber content increased (P < or = 0.05) during both years in both treatments, with the exception of NDF (P = 0.55) during yr 2 (YR2) on the TOR, as season advanced. In Exp. 2, three 11-d sample collections were conducted from late July to mid-September 2000 on SL and TOR. Organic matter intake (g/kg of BW) was not altered (P = 0.28) by grazing treatments or advancing season. Total tract OM and apparent ruminal OM digestion were not different (P > or = 0.12) between treatment and decreased (P < or = 0.04) with advancing season. Grazing treatment x season interactions (P = 0.06) were present for true ruminal OM digestibility with TOR being greater (P < or = 0.10) than SL in late August and mid-September but not late July. Microbial efficiency was greater (P = 0.07; 15.1 vs. 10.8 +/- 1.6 g of microbial N/kg of OM truly fermented) in SL than TOR, respectively. Degradable intake protein (g/d) was less (P = 0.05) in TOR than SL during late July to early August and not affected by treatment in late August or mid-September. However, undegradable intake protein was unchanged (P > or = 0.54) between treatment and across season. These data suggest that mixed-grass range forage consumed by cattle after late September is deficient in N, particularly degradable intake protein, and that forage intake may be insufficient to support adequate performance in lactating cows independent of grazing management strategies evaluated. Knowledge of diet quality and forage intake should aid producers in meeting the nutritional needs of livestock grazing these forages.

Abstract
Limited data are available regarding the influence of thiamine supplementation on the incidence of polioencephalomalacia (PEM) in lambs fed diets containing increased concentrations of S in the diet (>0.7%). Therefore, our objective was to evaluate the influence of thiamine supplementation on feedlot performance, carcass quality, ruminal hydrogen sulfide gas concentrations, and incidence of PEM in lambs fed a finishing diet containing 60% distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; DM basis). Two studies were conducted using completely randomized designs to evaluate the influence of concentration of thiamine supplementation. Study 1 used 240 lambs fed in 16 pens, whereas study 2 used 55 individually fed lambs. Lamb finishing diets contained 60% DDGS, which resulted in a dietary S concentration of 0.73% (DM basis). Treatments diets were based on the amount of supplemental thiamine provided: 1) no supplemental thiamine (CON), 2) 50 mg/animal per day (LO), 3) 100 mg/animal per day (MED), or 4) 150 mg/animal per day (HI). Additionally, in study 2, a fifth treatment was included, which contained 0.87% S (DM basis; increased S provided by addition of dilute sulfuric acid) and provided 150 mg of thiamine/animal per day (HI+S). In study 1, ADG decreased quadratically (P = 0.04), with lambs fed the CON, LO, and MED diets gaining BW at a greater rate than lambs fed the HI diet. In study 1, DMI responded quadratically (P < 0.01), whereas G:F tended to differ linearly (P = 0.08) to concentration of thiamine supplementation, with MED lambs having greater DMI and decreased G:F. No differences (P > or = 0.17) in lamb performance were observed in study 2. In both studies, most carcass characteristics were unaffected, with the exception of a tendency for decreased carcass conformation (study 1; P = 0.09) and greater flank streaking (study 2; P = 0.03). No differences in ruminal hydrogen sulfide concentration (P > 0.05) among treatments were apparent until d 10, at which point lambs fed the LO diet had less hydrogen sulfide concentrations than all other treatments. Lambs fed HI had the greatest concentrations of hydrogen sulfide on d 31 (1.07 g of hydrogen sulfide /m(3); P < 0.009). Ruminal pH did not differ (P = 0.13) and averaged 5.6 +/- 0.06. No clinical cases of PEM were observed during the course of either study. The use of thiamine as a dietary additive to aid in the prevention of PEM in finishing lambs does not appear to be necessary under the conditions of this study.

Abstract
Four ruminally and duodenally cannulated beef steers (388 +/- 12 kg) were used to evaluate effects of advancing season on forage quality, intake, site of digestion, and microbial efficiency while grazing mixed-grass prairie in western North Dakota. Five 11-d sample collections were conducted from late June to mid-November. Chromic oxide (8 g) was dosed twice daily at 0700 and 1900 h via gelatin capsule from d 2 to 11 of each collection period, and duodenal and fecal collections were performed on d 7 to 11. Masticate samples were collected for each sampling period. Dietary N declined linearly (P = 0.01), from 1.95% in June to 1.15% in November, whereas NDF increased linearly (P = 0.01), 72.4% in June to 85.1% in November. Total OM intake (g/kg of BW) decreased linearly (P <or= 0.01) from June to November, from 26.2 to 11.4 +/- 2.7 g/kg of BW, respectively, and ruminal fill increased linearly (P <or= 0.01) from June to November, from 45.4 to 65.9 +/- 3.3 kg, respectively. True ruminal OM and N digestion declined linearly (P <or= 0.01) with advancing season. Total tract OM, N, and NDF digestion declined linearly (P <or= 0.01). Microbial efficiency (g of microbial N/kg of OM truly fermented) increased linearly (P = 0.02) from late June to late November. Undegradable intake protein (UIP) intake (g/d) declined (P <or= 0.06) linearly and cubically from 374.4 in June to 215.9 g in November. Degradable intake protein (DIP) intake was 735.5 g/d in June and declined linearly (P <or= 0.01) to 99.5 g/d with advancing season. Likewise, microbial CP supply at the duodenum (g/d) declined linearly (P <or= 0.01) as season advanced. As expected, DIP (% of CP) decreased (P <or= 0.01; 66.1 to 31.9 +/- 5.8% for June to November, respectively), whereas percentage of UIP increased (P <or= 0.01; 33.9 to 68.1 +/- 5.8% for June to November, respectively) with advancing season. The portions of DIP and UIP (% of CP) were not different in late August and mid-September. These data imply that mixed-grass range forage consumed by cattle after late September is deficient in N, particularly DIP, and that forage intake may decrease and may be too low to support adequate cow performance. Supplementation could be implemented to overcome these deficiencies; however, additional research is needed to determine supplemental type and frequency needed to optimize nutritional and economic efficiency.

Abstract
Four cases of a rare odontogenic lesion are reported. In each of the 4 examples, the lesion manifested itself as a well-circumscribed unilocular radiolucency in the mandibular third molar region in an adult. The histopathologic features consisted of an encapsulated proliferation of odontogenic hard and soft tissues. The hard tissue component consisted of dentin deposited in a peripheral ringlike configuration that enclosed odontogenic epithelium resembling adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. Whether this process represents a neoplasm or an odontogenic hamartoma is an unresolved question. Treatment in each case consisted of curettage, and no recurrences were observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE This article compares the demographic features of the anterior midline maxillary odontogenic keratocyst with those in other regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data on 18 cases of anterior midline maxillary odontogenic keratocyst were reviewed. RESULTS Thirteen of the cases were in men (72.2%), and 16 of the patients (88.9%) were past the age of 60 years. The mean age of the patients was 69.9 years, which is much higher than for odontogenic keratocysts in other locations. The most common clinical diagnoses were periapical cyst and nasopalatine duct cyst. CONCLUSION It is important to include odontogenic keratocyst in the differential diagnosis of anterior midline maxillary radiolucencies, especially when they occur in older individuals.

Abstract
A multiinstitutional study of macrognathia secondary to renal osteodystrophy in dialysis patients is presented. The nine cases reviewed reveal a variety of radiographic and histopathologic features, some of which resemble fibrous dysplasia and others suggestive of Paget's disease of bone. This article contains diagnostic criteria for differentiating renal osteodystrophy from similar fibro-osseous proliferations along with a discussion of the underlying cause and appropriate therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
An atypical presentation of squamous cell carcinoma of the mandibular gingiva is presented. This case, along with previously reported cases in the literature, demonstrate the need for thorough intraoral examination and investigation of any unexplained, persistent lesions. Emphasis is placed upon histopathologic examination of such lesions in order to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
Although nonbiodegradable barrier membranes have proven partially successful in achieving regeneration of lost periodontium through the principles of guided tissue regeneration, their use requires a second surgical procedure for their removal. The results of a study, in which a biodegradable collagen membrane was used to treat dehiscence defects in dogs, are presented. The membrane was an effective barrier to the downgrowth of gingival epithelium during the early stages of healing and tended to increase the regeneration of new cementum and connective tissue attachment. It was also biocompatible and biodegradable.

Abstract
Gingival hyperplasia is a common disorder associated with phenytoin and cyclosporine therapy. However, induction of this condition by calcium channel blockers is less well known. Inflammation of the gingival tissue from bacterial plaque and the subsequent development of gingival crevicular fluid may allow sequestration of the calcium channel blocker, thus predisposing the tissue to a localized toxic effect and the development of gingival hyperplasia. Calcium channel blockers have cellular effects similar to those of phenytoin and cyclosporine, including the production of a localized folic acid deficiency. All of the available calcium channel blockers have been reported to cause gingival hyperplasia. Treatment options include meticulous plaque control, and in severe cases, gingivectomy. Gingival hyperplasia can be prevented with meticulous plaque control or avoidance of the offending medication.

Abstract
Five previously unreported cases of congenital epulis of the newborn are presented. All five cases were on the anterior maxillary alveolar ridge. Four were removed at 2 days of age and one at 7 weeks. Light microscopy demonstrated large eosinophilic granular cells within vascular fibrous connective tissue. Immunohistochemical studies revealed a positivity for vimentin and neuron specific enolase. Cytogenetic evaluation performed on one case was normal. Estrogen and progesterone receptors were absent in the one case so studied. Electron microscopy demonstrated tumor cells that were filled with autophagosomes. Cellular organelles were significantly reduced and inversely related to the number of cytoplasmic autophagosomes. Many of the autophagosomes contained collagen precursors. Poorly formed junctional complexes were seen. Occasional tumor cells demonstrated long processes that contained contractile microfilaments, pinocytosis, and areas of exocytosis. These studies suggest the tumor cells represent early mesodermal cells that express pericytic and myofibroblastic features that undergo cytoplasmic autophagocytosis.

Abstract
One of the most feared complications of neurofibromatosis type I (NF-I) is development of cancer, which is estimated to occur in about 5% of cases. The most common associated malignancy is the neurofibrosarcoma (NFS). HOwever, oral NFS in association with NF-I has rarely been reported. We report two cases of oral NFS arising in patients with NF-I. Both patients died of their tumors. Oral NFS arising in association with NF-I appears to have an extremely poor prognosis, as do these tumors at other sites of the body.

Abstract
A case of eccrine spiradenoma of the lip is presented. This benign lesion of the eccrine sweat glands must be considered in the differential diagnosis of solitary or multiple soft tissue lesions of the head and neck. Final diagnosis is dependent on histologic examination. Carcinomatous transformation has been reported in eight cases, especially in those tumors of long duration.

Abstract
A study was conducted on labial salivary gland tumors from four oral pathology laboratories. Of the 103 identified tumors, 87 (84.5%) were from the upper lip, whereas 16 (15.5%) were from the lower lip. Of the 87 upper lip tumors, 80 (92.0%) were benign. Forty-three of these were monomorphic adenomas and 37 were pleomorphic adenomas. Seven malignant tumors of the upper lip were as follows: four adenoid cystic carcinomas, two acinic cell carcinomas, and one adenocarcinoma. Of the 16 lower lip tumors, 15 (93.8%) were malignant. Thirteen of these were mucoepidermoid carcinomas and two were acinic cell carcinomas. The only benign lower lip tumor was an intraductal papilloma. These results confirm the findings of previous investigations, showing that minor salivary gland tumors are much more common in the upper lip than the lower lip, but that lower lip tumors are more likely to be malignant.

Abstract
A study was carried out to evaluate the histologic changes of meniscus perforation repair associated with dermal grafts to the temporomandibular joint of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) following surgical perforation of the meniscus. Dermal grafts were studied histologically at 3-week, 6-week, 3-month, and 6-month intervals. Results showed early attachment of the dermal graft to the meniscus, followed by gradual incorporation of the graft into the meniscus and subsequent return of the meniscal-graft complex to a normal meniscal architecture.

Abstract
A radiographic study was conducted to determine the prevalence of benign fibro-osseous lesions of periodontal ligament origin (BFOLPDLO) in black women. Of 491 black women with both a panoramic radiograph and a full or partial periapical series, thirty-eight or 7.7% (age-adjusted rate = 7.7%) exhibited BFOLPDLO. Of these thirty-eight patients, twenty-nine had what is clinically recognized as periapical cemental dysplasia, for a prevalence of 5.9% (age-adjusted rate = 5.5%). The combination of a panoramic radiograph and a full or partial periapical series appeared more sensitive in the detection of BFOLPDLO than a panoramic radiograph or full series alone.

Abstract
Pyostomatitis vegetans is a rare and unusual disorder of the oral cavity, characterized by erythema and edema of the mucosa and numerous small, superficial yellow pustules. Its significance lies in its association with inflammatory disease of the bowel, either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. We report here a patient with pyostomatitis vegetans who, upon medical workup, was discovered to have asymptomatic Crohn's disease. The clinical features, histopathology, and treatment of pyostomatitis vegetans, and its purported relationship to pemphigus vegetans of Neumann are discussed.

The lateral periodontal cyst is a developmental cyst of odontogenic origin which is located along the lateral aspect of a tooth root. Thirty-seven previously unreported lateral periodontal cysts ( LPCs ) are presented. Clinical, roentgenographic and histologic features of the LPC are reviewed. Further, the importance of distinguishing the developmental LPC from laterally positioned inflammatory cysts of pulpal or periodontal disease origin and laterally occurring odontogenic keratocysts is stressed.

Abstract
Melanoacanthoma is a simultaneous benign proliferation of two cell types--the keratinocyte and the melanocyte. It is a rare lesion; only twenty cases have been reported on skin and three cases intraorally. This article reports a series of ten cases of intraoral melanoacanthoma. Significant clinical differences exist between skin and mucosal lesions. Whereas the skin lesions occur almost exclusively in white persons and in an older population, the mucosal melanoacanthoma occurs in a much younger population, is seen almost exclusively among blacks, and is frequently associated with a history of trauma or irritation which precedes the rapid development of the lesion. Several cases have resolved with incomplete removal. It is conjectured that this lesion may represent a reactive phenomenon on oral mucosa rather than neoplasia.

Abstract
HISTOLOGIC EXAMINATION at 6 weeks of a freeze-dried skin (FDS) allograft used to treat a mucogingival defect in the human revealed a striking prominence of elastic fibers within the graft, when compared to the adjacent gingiva and alveolar mucosa. This finding suggests that these fibers were retained from the donor material. The absence of a significant inflammatory infiltrate and the clinically normal healing that was observed indicates that FDS allografts are biocompatible with human oral tissue.

Abstract
A rare case of an intraoral glomus tumor on the ventral surface on the tongue was studied by light and electron microscopy. With light microscopy, the tumor was composed of dilated vascular channels surrounded by "epithelioid" glomus cells exhibiting large round nuclei and abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm. Bodian stains showed significant staining for nerve fibers among the tumor cells. Electron microscopic study demonstrated that the tumor cells had ultrastructural features which were similar to both smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, suggesting that a "transitional" cell may give rise to glomus tumor. The literature on oral glomus tumors is briefly reviewed.

A patient had two separate adult rhabdomyomas. To our knowledge, this is only the fifth reported example of a patient with multifocal adult rhabdomyomas. A review of the English literature on rhabdomyomas showed a total of only 47 acceptable cases of adult rhabdomyoma. Forty-five of these were in the head and neck region. The adult rhabdomyoma has been confused in the past with granular cell tumors, fetal rhabdomyomas, and rhabdomyosarcomas. Its separation from these tumors is indicated.

Abstract
The basal cell adenoma (BCA) is a benign monomorphic salivary gland tumor. Those of minor gland origin tend to occur within or adjacent to the upper lip (80 percent). The BCA is an encapsulated, slow-growing lesion which most commonly affects older persons. Several different histologic patterns can be noted, and often a combination of these variations is present within the same tumor. Simple surgical excision appears to be adequate treatment.

Abstract
Oral leiomyomas are considered to be rare neoplasms, but they may be encountered more frequently than generally believed. Three types of leiomyomas are commonly described: solid leiomyomas, angiomyomas, and epithelioid leiomyomas. Three cases of solid leiomyoma are presented, all of which occurred in the anterior mandibular mucobuccal fold. Leiomyomas can be easily confused with other spindle-cell tumors. The necessity of using special stains, especially Mallory's phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin, is discussed.
