Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyze the protective effects of iodixanol on dog spermatozoa during cryopreservation. The optimal concentration of iodixanol, 1.5%, was determined using fresh spermatozoa and was applied in the following experiments. The 1.5% iodixanol group showed significantly increased sperm motility from that in the control (p < 0.05). Lower mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulator (ROMO1) and pro-apoptotic gene (BAX) expressions, together with higher expressions of protamine-2 (PRM2), protamine-3 (PRM3), anti-apoptotic B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2), and sperm acrosome associated-3 (SPACA3) genes were detected in the iodixanol-treated group. In addition, decreased protamine deficiency and cryocapacitation were observed in the treatment group. Our results show that supplementation with 1.5% iodixanol is ideal for reducing production of ROS and preventing detrimental effects during the canine sperm cryopreservation process, effects manifested as increased motility and reduced cryocapacitation in frozen-thawed spermatozoa.

Abstract
Adipose tissue-derived stem cell (ASCs) are an attractive source of stem cells with therapeutic applicability in various fields for regenerating damaged tissues because of their stemness characteristics. However, little has reported on evaluating adverse responses caused by human ASC therapy. Therefore, in the present study, a clinical assessment after human ASC transplantation into dogs was undertaken. A total of 12 healthy male dogs were selected and divided into four groups: saline infusion, saline bolus, ASC infusion, and ASC bolus groups. Physical assessment and blood analysis were performed following ASC transplantation, and the concentrations of angiogenic factors, and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). There were no adverse vital sign responses among the dogs. Blood analyses revealed no remarkable complete blood count or serum chemistry results. ELISA results for angiogenic and anti-inflammatory factors including matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were significantly higher in the two ASCs groups than in the controls. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that transplantation of human ASCs produced no adverse effects and could be used safely in dogs. In addition, human ASCs could be involved in modulating secretions of angiogenic factors including MMP9, VEGF, bFGF, and HGF and anti-inflammatory factor IL-10.

Abstract
Human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) have been applied to regenerative medicine for their roles in angiogenesis as well as neovascularization, and these angiogenetic functions have beneficial effects on maturation of ovarian follicles. However, little information is available on whether EPCs on culture systems affect oocyte maturation and subsequent embryo development. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of EPC co-culture on porcine oocytes during in vitro maturation (IVM) and subsequent embryo development, and to examine gene expression in cumulus cells, oocytes and blastocysts. The effect of co-culture using EPC on porcine oocyte IVM was investigated. Oocytes were activated using electrical stimulation and embryo developmental competence was estimated. The expression of the genes related to cumulus expansion, oocyte maturation, embryo development, and apoptosis were analyzed. In result, there was a significantly increased maturation rate in EPC group compared with control (p < 0.05). Also, oocytes co-cultured with EPCs exhibited significantly improved blastocyst formation rates (p < 0.05). The expression of mRNAs associated with cumulus expansion and apoptosis in cumulus cells was significantly up-regulated in EPC group. Also, markedly increased levels of GDF9, BMP15, and BCL2 were observed in oocytes from the EPC group. Blastocysts in the co-culture group showed significantly higher SOX2, OCT4, and NANOG levels. In conclusion, co-culturing porcine oocytes with EPCs improves their maturation by regulating genes involved in cumulus cell expansion, oocyte maturation, and apoptosis. Moreover, EPC co-culture during IVM enhanced embryo development as shown by increased blastocyst formation rate and pluripotency-related gene expression.

Abstract
Toxigenic potential of different candidate fungi, isolated from rice straw feed of Degnala disease affected bovines was analyzed along with species, age, gender and seasonal prevalence. Of 1,536 cases, 104 (6.77%) showed positive signs with a significant association (p less than 0.05) between this disease and rice straw feeding, in buffaloes, and bovine aged over 1 year in the winter season. Complete blood count showed a marked increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and all white blood cells numbers, except lymphocytes in positive cases. There was a significant increase (p less than 0.05) in alanine amino transferase, aspirate amino transferase and alkaline phosphatase in the liver function test. At the same time, an increased value of creatinine was noted in the renal function test. For isolation and screening of toxigenic fungi, rice straw samples (n=40) being fed to the positive cases were processed further, and 85 fungal isolates were found, mainly of Aspergillus (57), Penicillium (10), Fusarium (04), Zygomycetes (03), Curvularia (01) and unidentified (10). All isolated fungi were subjected for mycotoxin production and only 11 showed mycotoxin-producing capability (including Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium isolates) analyzed by thin layer chromatography and quantified through high performance liquid chromatography. It is concluded that all the fungi contaminating rice straw feed of Degnala affected animals were not toxigenic. This work will help in establishing major mycotoxin-producing fungi leading to the probable cause of Degnala disease in bovine.
