Abstract
Prior studies have established a significant correlation between the DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and infertility. Additionally, certain investigations suggest that environmental exposure may serve as an etiological factor impacting semen quality. This study aimed to explore the impact of season, ambient temperature, and weather extremes on the DFI of sperm, along with other relevant parameters. Furthermore, it sought to assess how ambient temperature affects the DFI of sperm and other semen parameters in populations with varying BMI values. Additionally, the study analyzed the transient indirect effect of DFI on sperm parameters. This retrospective study analyzed semen samples from 11,877 men, selected based on female factor considerations, spanning from January 2016 to December 2021. Participants were grouped according to the season of semen collection. The results showed that samples collected in summer had a lower semen volume and sperm motility, while those collected in autumn had a lower DFI. We analyzed the exposure-response ratio between environmental exposure temperature and semen parameters using a generalized additive model. Results showed that the curve of the exposure-response relationship was U-shaped or inverted U-shaped; when the air temperature exposure was below the threshold, for each degree of temperature increase, the total sperm motility, sperm concentration, and progressive motility increased by 0.16 %, 0.29 × 10 (Levine, 1999)/ml and 0.14 %, respectively, while the DFI and inactivity rate decreased by 0.078 % and 0.15 %, respectively. When the air temperature exposure exceeded the threshold, for each degree of temperature increase, the sperm concentration, total sperm motility, semen volume and progressive motility decreased by 0.42 × 10 (Levine, 1999)/ml, 0.11 %, 0.0078 ml and 0.15 %, respectively, while the DFI and inactivity rate increased by 0.13 % and 0.12 %, respectively. Extremely cold weather during spermatogenesis was positively correlated with DFI, and extremely hot weather was negatively correlated with sperm motility. Subgroup analysis revealed that individuals classified as overweight / obese exhibited more pronounced changes in sperm parameters and the DFI in response to variations in environmental exposure temperature compared to those with a normal BMI. In the analysis of the relationship between DFI and sperm parameters, the results showed an inverted U-shape relationship between DFI and semen volume, and a negative correlation between DFI and sperm concentration and sperm motility. And we found that ambient temperature affects sperm parameters through DFI at low as well as average temperatures, whereas at high temperatures this indirect effect is no longer present.

Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION Is high sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) associated with a high embryonic aneuploidy rate in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)? DESIGN This was a retrospective study of 426 couples with normal karyotypes undergoing ICSI-PGT at the authors' centre from March 2017 to March 2021. SDF was assessed using the sperm chromatin structure assay. The population was divided into low and high SDF groups according to cut-off values found by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. A 1:1 ratio propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to control for potential confounding factors, and a generalized linear mixed model was established to evaluate the relationship between SDF and the embryonic aneuploidy rate. RESULTS The ROC curve indicated a threshold of 30%. In total, 132 couples were included after PSM, and the high SDF group (>30%) had significantly higher SDF (40.74% ± 9.78% versus 15.54% ± 7.86%, P < 0.001) and a higher embryo aneuploidy rate (69.36% versus 53.96%, P < 0.001) compared with the low SDF group (≤30%). The two pronuclear fertilization rate, cleavage rate, rate of high-quality embryos at day 3 rate, blastocyst rate, biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, live birth rate, caesarean section rate, preterm birth rate, singleton rate and low birthweight rate were similar in both groups (P > 0.05). After PSM, SDF > 30% was significantly correlated with an increased embryo aneuploidy rate after adjusting for all confounding variables (adjusted odds ratio 1.70, 95% CI 1.00-2.88, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS SDF > 30% was associated with an increased embryo aneuploidy rate in couples with normal karyotypes undergoing PGT, but did not affect embryonic and clinical outcomes after transfer of euploid embryos.

Abstract
Colostrum contains nutrients, immunoglobulins, and various bioactive compounds such as microRNA (miRNA). Less is known about the temporal changes in miRNA profiles in ruminant milk samples during the first week postpartum. In this study, we characterized and compared the profiles of miRNA in the small extracellular vesicles (sEV) isolated from colostrum (CM, collected immediately after parturition, n = 8) and transition milk (TM, collected 7 d postpartum, n = 8) from eight 1-yr-old Guanzhong dairy goats with a milk yield of approximately 500 kg/year. A total of 192 unique sEV-associated miRNA (transcripts per million >1 at least 4 samples in either CM or TM) were identified in all samples. There were 29 miRNA uniquely identified in the TM samples while no miRNA was uniquely identified in the CM samples. The abundance of the top 10 miRNA accounted for 82.4% ± 4.0% (± SD) of the total abundance, with let-7 families (e.g., let-7a/b/c-5p) being predominant in all samples. The top 10 miRNA were predicted to target 1,008 unique genes that may regulate pathways such as focal adhesion, TGF-β signaling, and axon guidance. The expression patterns of EV miRNA were similar between the 2 sample groups, although the abundance of let-7c-5p and miR-30a-3p was higher, whereas that of let-7i-5p and miR-103-3p was lower in CM than in TM. In conclusion, the core miRNAome identified in the samples from CM and TM may play an important role in cell proliferation, bone homeostasis, and neuronal network formation in newborn goat kids. The lack of differential miRNA expression between the CM and TM samples may be due to a relatively short sampling interval in which diet composition, intake and health status of ewes, and environment were relatively stable.

Abstract
It is known that complex growth environments often induce inhomogeneity in two-dimensional (2D) materials and significantly restrict their applications. In this paper, we proposed an efficient method to analyze the inhomogeneity of 2D materials by combination of Raman spectroscopy and unsupervised k-means clustering analysis. Taking advantage of k-means analysis, it can provide not only the characteristic Raman spectrum for each cluster but also the cluster spatial maps. It has been demonstrated that inhomogeneities and their spatial distributions are simultaneously revealed in all CVD-grown MoS2, WS2 and WSe2 samples. Uniform p-type doping and varied tensile strain were found in polycrystalline monolayer MoS2 from the grain boundary and edges to the grain center (single crystal). The bilayer MoS2 with AA and AB stacking are shown to have relatively uniform p-doping but a gradual increase of compressive strain from center to the periphery. Irregular distribution of 2LA(M)/E2g1 mode in WS2 and E2g1 mode in WSe2 is revealed due to defect and strain, respectively. All the inhomogeneity could be directly characterized in color-coded Raman imaging with correlated characteristic spectra. Moreover, the influence of strain and doping in the MoS2 can be well decoupled and be spatially verified by correlating with the clustered maps. Our k-means clustering Raman analysis can dramatically simplify the inhomogeneity analysis for large Raman data in 2D materials, paving the way towards direct evaluation for high quality 2D materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Occupational exposure-related risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection has been reported for village doctors in China. This prospective study aims to estimate the infection acquisition in this key population.METHODS: At baseline, all village doctors registered in Zhongmu County were tested by QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT) and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) in parallel. Those negatives for either of the tests were retested to identify conversions at the 2-year follow-up investigation.RESULTS: A total of 367 eligible participants completed the 2-year follow-up survey with frequency of conversion of 5.0% (18/361) for QFT and 6.1% (21/343) for QFT-Plus. The agreement of follow-up results between the tests was 93.2% with a κ coefficient of 0.43 (95%CI 0.20-0.65). Among QFT-Plus convertors, the difference between TB1 and TB2 tubes (TB2-TB1) was significantly increased as compared with baseline results (P = 0.039). Participants from the villages with occurrence of microbiologically confirmed pulmonary TB showed higher frequency of QFT conversions (11.0% vs. 3.2%, P = 0.011) and QFT-Plus conversions (12.3% vs. 4.4%, P = 0.027) than those from the villages without occurrence.CONCLUSION: Our results consistently suggest that capability on occupational protection and M. tuberculosis infection control should be improved in village doctors in China.

Abstract
Tripartite motif-containing protein 24 (TRIM24) has currently emerged as a crucial cancer-related gene present in a wide range of human cancer types. However, the involvement of TRIM24 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not been well investigated. The present study aims to investigate the significance, cellular function, and potential regulatory mechanism of TRIM24 in AML. We found that TRIM24 expression was significantly upregulated in AML compared with normal tissues. AML patients with low expression of TRIM24 had higher survival rates than those expressing TRIM24 at higher levels. High expression of TRIM24 was also detected in AML cells and its knockdown markedly restricted proliferation and promoted apoptosis in AML cells. Further investigation revealed that TRIM24 contributed to the regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which was associated with modulating the phosphorylation status of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). Inactivation of GSK-3β partially reversed the TRIM24 knockdown-mediated antitumor effects observed in AML cells. Furthermore, knockdown of TRIM24 retarded the growth of AML-derived xenograft tumors in nude mice in vivo. Overall, these findings demonstrate that knockdown of TRIM24 impedes the AML tumor growth through the modulation of Wnt/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling. These findings highlight the potential TRIM24 as an attractive anticancer target to treat AML.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Using QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) for monitoring tuberculosis (TB) and latent TB infection treatment effect is controversial. The present study aimed to evaluate the dynamic changes of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) levels along with latent TB infection treatment via a randomized controlled study. METHODS A total of 910 participants treated with 8 weeks of once-weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (group A), 890 treated with 6 weeks of twice-weekly rifapentine plus isoniazid (group B) and 818 untreated controls (group C) were followed for 2 years to track active TB development. QFT-GIT tests were repeated three times for all groups: before treatment (T0), at completion of treatment (T1) and 3 months after completion of treatment (T2). RESULTS Similar rates of persistent QFT-GIT reversion were observed in groups A (19.0%, 173/910), B (18.5%, 165/890) and C (20.7%, 169/818) (p 0.512). The dynamic changes of IFN-γ levels were not statistically significant among the three groups. In treated participants, individuals with higher baseline IFN-γ levels showed increased TB occurrence (1.0%, 9/896) compared to those with lower baseline levels (0.2%, 2/904) (p 0.037). A similar but statistically insignificant trend was also observed in untreated controls (1.8% (7/400) vs. 0.5% (2/418), p 0.100). When TB cases were matched with non-TB cases on baseline IFN-γ levels, no significant differences were found with respect to the dynamic changes in IFN-γ levels with time, regardless of whether they received treatment. CONCLUSIONS QFT-GIT reversion or decreased IFN-γ levels should not be used for monitoring host response to latent TB infection treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, there were more and more studies on the function of inflammation in hypertension. CD68 mainly mediates the activation of cytokine interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway and participates in inflammatory responses. It has been studied the function of CD68 and IL-17 in hypertension, but it has not been reported whether it affected hypertension and vascular remodeling when macrophage CD68 expression inhibited. In this study, antisense-CD68 mice were used to study the effect and mechanism of angiotensin II-induced hypertensive vascular remodeling under specific suppression of macrophage CD68. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty 8-week-old male antisense-CD681 and C57 mice were divided into control and experimental group (angiotensin II group, 1000 ng•kg-1•min-1). After infusion of angiotensin II for 28 days, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to observe the remodel of vascular. The changes of aortic inflammatory factors were detected by Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blotting. RESULTS By specifically inhibiting the expression of macrophage CD68, macrophage infiltration was mitigated in Ang II-induced hypertensive vascular remodeling model mouse, which also down-regulated the expression of vascular tissue inflammatory factor and activation of vascular smooth muscle cell p65. CONCLUSIONS CD68 regulates the Ang II-induced hypertensive vascular remodeling through mediating macrophage inflammatory factor release.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of body mass index (BMI) on sperm retrieval, early embryo quality and clinical outcomes in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) undergoing testicular sperm aspiration-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (TESA-ICSI). A total of 3,005 infertile couples were evaluated between January 2010 and June 2017, including 1585 normal-weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2 ), 847 overweight (BMI 25-29.99 kg/m2 ) and 573 obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 ) patients. We found no significant relationship between BMI and sperm retrieval rate (22.4%, 24.3% and 25.1%, p = 0.327) or sperm motility. Among the 705 patients with NOA who underwent TESA-ICSI cycles, obese individuals had lower T levels and higher E2 levels than normal-weight and overweight individuals. However, there were no significant differences in other male hormones (follicle stimulating hormone [FSH], luteinizing hormone [LH], or prolactin [PRL]) among the groups. We also found that the sperm parameters, embryo quality and clinical outcomes of patients with NOA undergoing TESA-ICSI were not influenced by high BMI levels. In conclusion, this study demonstrated a lack of obvious effects of obesity on sperm retrieval, early embryo quality and clinical outcomes in infertile men undergoing TESA-ICSI cycles, although T and E2 levels were affected.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the risk factors and sonographic findings of pregnancies complicated by placenta increta or placenta percreta. Methods: Totally, 2 219 cases were retrospectively analyzed from 20 tertiary hospitals in China from January 2011 to December 2015. The data were collected based on the original case records. All cases were divided into two groups, the placenta increta (PI) group (79.1%, 1 755/2 219) and the placenta percreta (PP) group (20.9%, 464/2 219) , according to the degree of placental implantation. The risk factors and sonographic findings of placenta increta or percreta were analyzed by uni-factor and logistic regression statistic methods. Results: The risk factors associated with the degree of placental implantation were age, gravida, previous abortion or miscarriage, previous cesarean sections, and placenta previa (all P<0.05), especially, previous cesarean sections (χ(2)=157.961) and placenta previa (χ(2)=91.759). Sonographic findings could be used to predict the degree of placental invasion especially the boundaries between placenta and uterine serosa, the boundary between placenta and myometrium, the disruption of the placental-uterine wall interface and loss of the normal retroplacental hypoechoic zone(all P<0.01). Conclusions: Previous cesarean sections and placenta previa are the main independent risk factors associated with the degree of placenta implantation. Ultrasound could be used to make a prenatal suggestive diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum disorders.

Abstract
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) represent as a desirable experimental model as well as a potential strategy for treating male infertility. Here, we developed a simple and feasible method for differentiation of PGCs from hESCs by using CHIR99021 (an inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase 3) and retinoic acid (RA). We firstly found that the deleted in azoospermia-like (DAZL) protein can be detected in 3 d CHIR99021 plus 9 d retinoic acid treated cultures and 12 d CHIR99021 plus retinoic acid co-treated cultures, but not expressed in single CHIR99021 treated cultures, single retinoic acid treated cultures, as well as 3 d retinoic acid plus 9 d CHIR99021 treated cultures. Next, we showed that several PGCs’ markers were expressed in the 12 d CHIR99021 and retinoic acid co-treated cultures or 3 d CHIR99021 plus 9 d retinoic acid treated cultures. Moreover, meiosis was initiated in CHIR99021 and retinoic acid co-treated cultures as evidenced by a significant expression of the punctate synaptonemal complex protein 3 (SCP3). Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis indicated that a small percentage of putative 1N populations were formed. Mechanically, we found that β-catenin relocated into nucleus after the treatment of 3 d CHIR99021 suggesting that Wnt signaling pathway was activated. Furthermore, blockade of Wnt signaling pathway by IWR-1 can reverse CHIR99021 and retinoic acid mediated-effects. Taken together, our results indicate that CHIR99021 combined with retinoic acid can effectively differentiate hESCs into PGCs via activating Wnt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Abstract
Background. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancers, for which the only standard therapeutics is chemotherapy containing Taxol. However, quite a number of TNBC patients cannot get the expected drug response after paclitaxel treatment and the resistant mechanism has not been clear yet. Other than the traditional “genotype-to-phenotype” means, the high-throughput functional screening, such as CRISPR-CAS9 library, selects genes with the phenotype of interest. Here, we combine the novel screening model with the drug-resistant genotype to explore the decisive role in paclitaxel effect.
Methods. Breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231(231WT) was treated by paclitaxel from 1ug/ml to 5ug/ml to establish a paclitaxel-resistant cell type (231PTX) for transcriptome sequencing. Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 sgRNA library was made into lentivirus to affect MDA-MB-231 cells expressed Cas9 protein (231cas9). Then 231cas9-sgRNA was treated by low dose of paclitaxel for 14 days and was read by next generation sequencing. RNA sequencing data was processed to TPM values and sgRNA data to gene ranking and p value. The threshold of “231PTX TPM/231WT TPM” was above 2 or below 1/2 and the gene p value was smaller than 0.05. Biological technology applied in this study includes western blot (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), real time PCR and cell proliferation assay. In vivo, 20 balb/c mouse were injected MDA-MB-231 in situ for tumor formation and were treated with paclitaxel/normal saline for six times.
Results. Crosstalk between these two sequencing data had result of 124 genes related to paclitaxel resistance (fold change> 2 and p value<0.05 compared Day 14 treated group to Day 14 untreated group) and 18 genes related to paclitaxel sensitivity (fold change< 1/2 and p value<0.05 compared Day 14 untreated group to Day 14 treated group). Considering clinical prognosis and gene information, six paclitaxel resistant candidates and four paclitaxel sensitive candidates were chosen for further research. Eight (STRA6, BIRC3, MTUS1, HDAC9, ADAM28, S1PR5, TNNC1, ZKSCAN7) of ten candidates displayed consistent phenotypes with sequencing results including mRNA expression and the cellular proliferation in paclitaxel treatment. HDAC9 is a histone deacetylation gene that is likely to be a paclitaxel resistant gene. Knockout HDAC9 (231H9 KO) contributed to nearly 2-fold decrease IC50 value (1.7nM versus 3.7nM, p value<0.01). Confocal microscopy observed the formation of multiple spindle foci in the paclitaxel treated 231H9 KO cells. After treatment with paclitaxel, the mark of polymerized tubulin, acetylation tubulin and the mark of cell cycle G2/M, cyclin B1 were notably increased when HDAC9 knockout in both MD-MB1-231 and BT-100 cell lines. In vivo assays found that HDAC9 knockout induced the declined tumorigenesis and more sensitive breast tumors to paclitaxel.
Conclusions.Combined Genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screening with transcriptome sequencing is efficient to investigate potent drug targets. In vitro assays suggest that HDAC9 is conductive to paclitaxel resistance in TNBC cells. In vivo results imply inhibition HDAC9 may beneficial to paclitaxel therapeutic response.

Abstract
The direct elucidation of the reaction pathways in heterogeneous catalysis has been challenging due to the short-lived nature of reaction intermediates. Here, we directly measured on ultrafast time scales the initial hydrogenation steps of adsorbed CO on a Ru catalyst surface, which is known as the bottleneck reaction in syngas and CO2 reforming processes. We initiated the hydrogenation of CO with an ultrafast laser temperature jump and probed transient changes in the electronic structure using real-time X-ray spectroscopy. In combination with theoretical simulations, we verified the formation of CHO during CO hydrogenation.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of different dietary ratios of forage and concentrate (F:C) on ruminal odd- and branched-chain fatty acids (OBCFAs) contents and to evaluate the relationships between OBCFA and ruminal fermentation parameters as well as bacterial populations tested by real-time PCR technique. The experimental design was a 3 × 3 Latin square. Three rumen-fistulated dry Holstein cows were fed three rations with different dietary F:C ratios (F:C; 30:70, 50:50 and 70:30). The rumen samples were collected every two hours (0600, 0800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, 2400, 0200 and 0400 h) over three consecutive days in each sampling period. The results showed that rumen OBCFA profiles are significantly (p < 0.05) affected by the dietary F:C ratios. The concentrations of C11:0, C13:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, iso-C17:0 and C17:0 were higher in the cows fed dietary F:C ratio of 70:30 than those fed with other two rations. However, the concentrations of anteiso-C15:0, C15:0 and total OBCFA were on the lowest level in the high forage diet. Correlation and regression analysis showed that ruminal OBCFAs had strong relationships with ruminal fermentation parameters and bacterial populations. In particular, the iso-fatty acids had potential power to predict butyrate and isoacids metabolized in the rumen, whereas the fatty acids with 17 carbon atoms correlated with ruminal NH3 -N content. The OBCFA contents have different relationships with fibrolytic and starch bacteria in the rumen. C17:0 and its isomers might be used to predict populations of fibrolytic bacteria.

Abstract
In this 60-wk study, egg quality, egg shelf-life, egg cholesterol content, total yolk lipids, and yolk fatty acid composition of eggs produced by Dekalb white laying hens in commercial aviary houses with either light-emitting diode (LED) or fluorescent (FL) lighting were compared. All parameters were measured at 27, 40, and 60 wk of age, except for egg shelf-life, which was compared at 50 wk of age. The results showed that, compared to the FL regimen, the LED regimen resulted in higher egg weight, albumen height, and albumen weight at 27 wk of age, thicker shells at 40 wk of age, but lower egg weight at 60 wk of age. Egg quality change was similar between the lighting regimens during the 62-d egg storage study, indicating that LED lighting did not influence egg shelf-life. Eggs from both lighting regimens had similar cholesterol content. However, cholesterol concentration of the yolk (15.9 to 21.0 mg cholesterol/g wet weight yolk) observed in this study was higher than that of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) database (10.85 mg/g). No significant differences in total lipids or fatty acid composition of the yolks were detected between the two lighting regimens.

Abstract
As an integral part of the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply (CSES) Project, this study simultaneously monitored air emissions of 3 commercially operated egg production systems at the house level and associated manure storage over 2 single-cycle flocks (18 to 78 wk of age). The 3 housing systems were 1) a conventional cage house (CC) with a 200,000-hen capacity (6 hens in a cage at a stocking density of 516 cm2/hen), 2) an enriched colony house (EC) with a 50,000-hen capacity (60 hens per colony at a stocking density of 752 cm2/hen), and 3) an aviary house (AV) with a 50,000-hen capacity (at a stocking density of 1253 to 1257 cm2/hen). The 3 hen houses were located on the same farm and were populated with Lohmann white hens of the same age. Indoor environment and house-level gaseous (ammonia [NH3] and greenhouse gasses [GHG], including carbon dioxide [CO2], methane [CH4], and nitrous oxide [N2O]) and particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) emissions were monitored continually. Gaseous emissions from the respective manure storage of each housing system were also monitored. Emission rates (ERs) are expressed as emission quantities per hen, per animal unit (AU, 500 kg live BW), and per kilogram of egg output. House-level NH3 ER (g/hen/d) of EC (0.054) was significantly lower than that of CC (0.082) or AV (0.112) (P < 0.05). The house-level CO2 ER (g/hen/d) was lower for CC (68.3) than for EC and AV (74.4 and 74.0, respectively), and the CH4 ER (g/hen/d) was similar for all 3 houses (0.07 to 0.08). The house-level PM ER (mg/hen/d), essentially representing the farm-level PM ER, was significantly higher for AV (PM10 100.3 and PM2.5 8.8) than for CC (PM10 15.7 and PM2.5 0.9) or EC (PM10 15.6 and PM2.5 1.7) (P < 0.05). The farm-level (house plus manure storage) NH3 ER (g/hen/d) was significantly lower for EC (0.16) than for CC (0.29) or AV (0.30) (P < 0.05). As expected, the magnitudes of GHG emissions were rather small for all 3 production systems. Data from this study enable comparative assessment of conventional vs. alternative hen housing systems regarding air emissions and enhance the U.S. national air emissions inventory for farm animal operations.

Abstract
This paper is an integral part of the special publication series that arose from the multidisciplinary and multi-institutional project of the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply (CSES). The CSES project involves 3 housing systems for egg production at the same research farm site in the Midwest, USA, namely, a conventional cage (CC) house, an aviary (AV) house, and an enriched colony (EC) house. The CC house (141.4 m L × 26.6 m W × 6.1 m H) had a nominal capacity of 200,000 hens (6 hens in a cage at a stocking density of 516 cm2/hen), and the cages were arranged in 10 rows, 8 tiers per cage row, with a perforated aisle walkway at 4-tier height. The AV house (154.2 m L × 21.3 m W × 3.0 m H) and the EC house (154.2 m L × 13.7 m W × 4.0 m H) each had a nominal capacity of 50,000 hens. The AV house had 6 rows of aviary colonies, and the EC house had 5 rows of 4-tier enriched colonies containing perches, nestbox, and scratch pads (60 hens per colony at a stocking density of 752 cm2/hen). The overarching goal of the CSES project, as stated in the opening article of this series, was to comprehensively evaluate the 3 egg production systems from the standpoints of animal behavior and well-being, environmental impact, egg safety and quality, food affordability, and worker health. So that all the area-specific papers would not have to repeat a detailed description of the production systems and the management practices, this paper is written to provide such a description and to be used as a common reference for the companion papers.

Abstract
Light-emitting diode (LED) lights are becoming more affordable for agricultural applications. Despite many lab-scale studies concerning impact of LED on poultry, little research has been documented under field production conditions, especially for laying hens. This 15-month field study was carried out to evaluate the effects of LED vs. fluorescent (FL) lights on laying hens (Dekalb white breed) using 4 (2 pairs) aviary hen houses each at a nominal capacity of 50,000 hens. The evaluation was done regarding operational characteristics of the lights and hen production traits. The results show that spatial distribution of the LED light was less uniform than that of the FL light. Light intensity of the LED light decreased by 27% after 3,360 h use but remained quite steady from 3,360 to 5,760 h use. Eleven out of 762 (1.44%) LED lamps (new at onset of the study) in the 2 houses failed during the 15-month experiment period. The neck area of the LED lamp was hottest, presumably the primary reason for the lamp failure as cracks were noticed in the neck region of all failed LED lamps. No differences were observed in egg weight, hen-day egg production, feed use, and mortality rate between LED and FL regimens. However, hens under the FL had higher eggs per hen housed and better feed conversion than those under the LED during 20 to 70 wk production (P < 0.05). Hens under the LED tended to have less feather uniformity and insulation than those under the FL (P < 0.05). Moreover, hens under the LED showed a larger median avoidance distance than those under the FL at 36 wk age (P < 0.05), indicating that hens under the LED were more alert; but no difference at 60 wk age. More comparative research to quantify behavioral and production responses of different breeds of hens to LED vs. FL lighting seems warranted.

Abstract
We show that coadsorbed oxygen atoms have a dramatic influence on the CO desorption dynamics from Ru(0001). In contrast to the precursor-mediated desorption mechanism on Ru(0001), the presence of surface oxygen modifies the electronic structure of Ru atoms such that CO desorption occurs predominantly via the direct pathway. This phenomenon is directly observed in an ultrafast pump-probe experiment using a soft x-ray free-electron laser to monitor the dynamic evolution of the valence electronic structure of the surface species. This is supported with the potential of mean force along the CO desorption path obtained from density-functional theory calculations. Charge density distribution and frozen-orbital analysis suggest that the oxygen-induced reduction of the Pauli repulsion, and consequent increase of the dative interaction between the CO 5σ and the charged Ru atom, is the electronic origin of the distinct desorption dynamics. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of CO desorption from Ru(0001) and oxygen-coadsorbed Ru(0001) provide further insights into the surface bond-breaking process.

Abstract
To comprehensively assess conventional vs. some alternative laying-hen housing systems under U.S. production conditions, a multi-institute and multi-disciplinary project, known as the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply (CSES) study, was carried out at a commercial egg production farm in the Midwestern United States over two single-cycle production flocks. The housing systems studied include a conventional cage house (200,000 hen capacity), an aviary house (50,000 hen capacity), and an enriched colony house (50,000 hen capacity). As an integral part of the CSES project, continual environmental monitoring over a 27-month period described in this paper quantifies indoor gaseous and particulate matter concentrations, thermal environment, and building ventilation rate of each house. Results showed that similar indoor thermal environments in all three houses were maintained through ventilation management and environmental control. Gaseous and particulate matter concentrations of the enriched colony house were comparable with those of the conventional cage house. In comparison, the aviary house had poorer indoor air quality, especially in wintertime, resulting from the presence of floor litter (higher ammonia levels) and hens' activities (higher particulate matter levels) in it. Specifically, daily mean indoor ammonia concentrations had the 95% confidence interval values of 3.8 to 4.2 (overall mean of 4.0) ppm for the conventional cage house; 6.2 to 7.2 (overall mean of 6.7) ppm for the aviary house; and 2.7 to 3.0 (overall mean of 2.8) ppm for the enriched colony house. The 95% confidence interval (overall mean) values of daily mean indoor carbon dioxide concentrations were 1997 to 2170 (2083) ppm for the conventional cage house, 2367 to 2582 (2475) ppm for the aviary house, and 2124 to 2309 (2216) ppm for the enriched colony house. Daily mean indoor methane concentrations were similar for all three houses, with 95% confidence interval values of 11.1 to 11.9 (overall mean of 11.5) ppm. The 95% confidence interval values (overall mean) of daily mean PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations, in mg/m3, were, respectively, 0.57 to 0.61 (0.59) and 0.033 to 0.037 (0.035) for the conventional cage house, 3.61 to 4.29 (3.95) and 0.374 to 0.446 (0.410) for the aviary house, and 0.42 to 0.46 (0.44) and 0.054 to 0.059 (0.056) for the enriched colony house. Investigation of mitigation practices to improve indoor air quality of the litter-floor aviary housing system is warranted.

Abstract
Brainstem ganglioglioma is rarely reported. Due to its low incidence and atypical site, a brainstem ganglioglioma could easily be misdiagnosed as occurs with other pathological neoplasms radiologically. Here, we report an 8-year-old girl with a brainstem tumor confirmed as a ganglioglioma based on postoperative pathology results. We suggest that when a tumor located in the lower brainstem with benign radiological characteristics occurs in a child with a long-term history, the possibility of brainstem ganglioglioma should be considered in the preoperative diagnosis in addition to other low-grade neoplasms. Early stage diagnosis of brainstem ganglioglioma based on the clinical and imaging features is valuable for clinicians in order to perform effective treatment and achieve a good prognosis.

Abstract
The US egg industry is exploring alternative housing systems for laying hens. However, limited published research related to cage-free aviary systems and enriched colony cages exists related to production, egg quality, and hen nutrition. The laying hen's nutritional requirements and resulting productivity are well established with the conventional cage system, but diminutive research is available in regards to alternative housing systems. The restrictions exist with limited availability of alternative housing systems in research settings and the considerable expense for increased bird numbers in a replicate due to alternative housing system design. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to evaluate the impact of nutrient and energy intake on production and egg quality parameters from laying hens housed at a commercial facility. Lohmann LSL laying hens were housed in three systems: enriched colony cage, cage-free aviary, and conventional cage at a single commercial facility. Daily production records were collected along with dietary changes during 15 production periods (28-d each). Eggs were analyzed for shell strength, shell thickness, Haugh unit, vitelline membrane properties, and egg solids each period. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) coupled with a principal components analysis (PCA) approach was utilized to assess the impact of nutritional changes on production parameters and monitored egg quality factors. The traits of hen-day production and mortality had a response only in the PCA 2 direction. This finds that as house temperature and Met intake increases, there is an inflection point at which hen-day egg production is negatively effected. Dietary changes more directly influenced shell parameters, vitelline membrane parameters, and egg total solids as opposed to laying hen housing system. Therefore, further research needs to be conducted in controlled research settings on laying hen nutrient and energy intake in the alternative housing systems and resulting impact on egg quality measures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Radiofrequency (RF) shrinkage has been widely conducted in clinical practice and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) laxity is regarded as one of the indications. However, basic researches regarding the postoperative histological changes were still insufficient. The study aimed to investigate postoperative histological changes of different areas of ACL for further identifying the optimal area for RF shrinkage. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 29 healthy canine (16.5 ± 2.2 kg, 4.1 ± 0.7 years) were recruited, 24 of which were randomly divided into group A and group B. The epiphyseal arrest was confirmed by X-ray examination in all animals. On one canine, an ACL's vascular perfusion model was established by the ink-perfusion method to observe the blood supply of the ACL. The mid-portion of ACL was conducted by RF in group A while the amph-portions of ACL were conducted in group B. Two legs of each canine were sub-divided into fixation group (group A1 and B1) and non-fixation group (group A2 and B2). 8 ACLs were separated from the rest 4 canine. 2 ACLs were sent for the histological examination after RF shrinkage and the rest 6 ACLs were served as blank controls. Masson staining and hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining were applied to observe the features of inner fibrous changes of ACL, cell count and vascular density. RESULTS According to the Masson staining, collagenous tissues were observed in area after RF shrinkage, which was more evident among group B1 than the others. The cellar density in both group A and B was found lower at 12 weeks postoperatively than that at 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05). In addition, the cellar density in B1 group was found higher than that in A1 group at both 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05). The density of subsynovial vessel in B1 group was found higher than that in A1 group at 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05) and the density of subsynovial vessel in both A1 and B1 groups was found lower at 12 postoperatively weeks than that at 6 weeks postoperatively (p < 0.05). In both A2 and B2 groups, all ACLs were found ruptured at 12 weeks postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS The postoperative revascularization pattern of RF-treated ACL was permeating from the synovium to the RF-treated areas, and the best area for the RF shrinkage treatment was the amph-portions of the ACL. Moreover, the application of postoperative external fixation to restrict the movement of injured limb was necessary.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to use Fourier transform/infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FT/IR-ATR) molecular spectroscopy to quantify the heat-induced changes in feed protein molecular structures in relation to protein digestion in dairy cows. Camelina seeds were evaluated in this study as a model for feed protein. The seeds were either heated in air-draft oven (dry heating) or in autoclave (moist heating) at 120°C for 60 min or kept as raw (control). The parameters evaluated were Cornell net protein and carbohydrate system (CNCPS) subfractions, in situ ruminal degradation kinetics, intestinal digestibility of rumen undegraded protein (RUP) and protein molecular structures. Moist heating decreased (P < 0.05) the content of total rumen degradable (RDP) crude protein (CP) subfractions and increased the content of total RUP subfractions compared with raw seeds, indicating a significant shift at the site of protein digestion from rumen to post-ruminal tract. The decrease in RDP was mainly related to the marked decrease in rapidly solubilised (PA) and degradable (PB1) fractions, whereas the moderately degradable (PB2) and slowly degradable (PB3) fractions increased, suggesting a decrease in degradation rate of RDP. The in situ rumen incubation study revealed that moist heating decreased (P < 0.05) RDP and increased (P < 0.05) RUP and its intestinal digestibility. The molecular spectroscopy study revealed that moist heating altered protein molecular structures. Except PA and lag time, dry heating did not significantly alter any of the CNCPS CP subfraction, in situ ruminal CP degradation parameters, intestinal digestibility of RUP, and protein molecular structures. The correlation analysis showed that the heat-induced changes in protein secondary structures, α-helix-to-β-sheet ratio, were positively correlated (P < 0.05) with the contents PA (r = 0.90), PB1 (r = 0.89), RDP (r = 0.72) and intestinal digestibility (r = 0.91) of RUP, and negatively correlated (P < 0.05) with PB2 (r = –0.90), PB3 (r = –0.85) and RUP (–0.87). These results showed that compared with dry heating, moist heating significantly changed protein subfractions, rumen degradability and intestinal digestibility, and these changes were strongly associated with changes in protein molecular structures.

Abstract
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a newly discovered carboxypeptidase in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), antagonizes ACE activity and plays an active role during tissue injury. Yet the mechanism of its action is not well known. Using a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced renal injury rat model, we investigated the relationship between renal injury and the antagonism between ACE and ACE2. We assayed the levels of urea nitrogen, urine glucose, creatinine, and protein, Ace2, Ace, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (At1) and Mas receptor mRNA, and renal and plasma angiotensin II (Ang II) in STZ-treated and untreated rats. We also used histology and immunohistochemistry to assess glomerular injury and ACE2 glomerular and cortical expression. The amounts of urea nitrogen, urine glucose, creatinine, and protein were significantly higher in STZ-treated rats than in control rats (P < 0.01). There were significant pathological changes in the kidney upon STZ-treatment. Ace2 and Ace mRNA levels were significantly higher in STZ-treated rats than in control rats (P < 0.05 and P = 0.05, respectively). There was no significant difference in the Mas receptor and At1 mRNA levels in the 2 groups, although At1 levels showed an increase upon STZ-treatment. The Ang II level in the renal cortical tissue and plasma of STZ-treated rats was higher than that of control rats (P < 0.05). The increase in Ace mRNA levels was higher than that of Ace2 mRNA levels, leading to an elevated Ace/Ace2 ratio. Together, these data suggest that the ACE-Ang II-AT1 axis is the dominant axis in severe kidney injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most powerful antigen-presenting cells in the body. Immature DCs (imDCs) can induce transplantation tolerance. In this study, using a mouse model of skin transplantation. We explored the antigen uptake by imDCs, changes in phenotype and function after antigen loading, as well as survival of skin grafts. METHODS Mononuclear cells from C57BL/6 mice mixed with a tritiated leucine ([(3)H]Leu) antigen supernate were incubated with Kunming mice imDC and mature DCs. We recorded the expressions of surface molecules that were detected using flow cytometry, mixed lymphocyte reactions, mean survival times, and postoperative morphological changes in skin grafts. RESULTS After the addition of allogeneic antigen supernate, the counts per minute of imDCs were significantly higher than those of mature DCs. The expression rates of I(A)/I(E) and CD80 significantly increased on the cell surface of imDCs. The counts per minute of imDCs in mixed lymphocyte reactions in the presence of allogeneic antigens was significantly higher than those of controls. Comparing mean survival times with controls, skin grafts were significantly longer in the imDCs groups from donors or from a third party carrying donor antigens. CONCLUSIONS ImDCs display a strong antigen uptake, gradually maturing in terms of phenotype and function after loading. Complementary application of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 immunoglobulin blocks the immune response of imDCs. Both imDCs from the third party carrying donor antigens and those from the donor strain can establish antigen-specific immune tolerance to allogeneic skin grafts.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common malignancy among women and is a major cause of morbidity contributing to approximately 8,200 annual deaths in the USA. Despite advances to the understanding of endometrial cancer, novel interventions for the disease are necessary given that many tumors become refractory to therapy. As a strategy to identify novel therapies for endometrial carcinoma, in this study, we examined the contribution of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor β/δ (PPARβ/δ) to endometrial cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis. We found that when activated with the highly selective PPARβ/δ agonists, GW0742 and GW501516, PPARβ/δ inhibited the proliferation and markedly induced the apoptosis of three endometrial cancer cell lines. The specificity of the PPARβ/δ-induced effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis was demonstrated using PPARβ/δ-selective antagonists and PPARβ/δ small interfering RNA in combination with PPARβ/δ-selective agonists. Furthermore, we showed that PPARβ/δ activation increased phosphatase and tensin homolog expression, which led to protein kinase B (AKT) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) dephosphorylation, and increased β-catenin phosphorylation associated with its degradation. Overall, our data suggest that the antitumorigenic effect of PPARβ/δ activation in endometrial cancer is mediated through the negative regulation of the AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway. These findings warrant further investigation of PPARβ/δ as a therapeutic target in endometrial cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increase of secretory phospholipase A2-IIa (sPLA2-IIa) in culprit coronary lesions is associated with myocardial infarction, and the increase of sPLA2-IIa in peripheral plasma levels has a significant risk and prognostic value in patients with coronary artery disease. Little is known about the prognostic significance of elevated serum sPLA2-IIa in post-acute myocardial infarction (post-AMI) patients. OBJECTIVES The present study is designed to investigate the potential association between serum sPLA2-IIa and prognosis in post-acute myocardial infarction (post-AMI) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS From Oct 1998 to Sep 2008, a total of 964 post-AMI patients with serum samples collected in the convalescent stage were studied. Serum levels of sPLA2-IIa were measured by ELISA. According to the optimal cut-off value for sPLA2-IIa concentration, patients were then divided into 2 groups. Categorical variables were compared between the 2 groups using the χ2 test. All continuous variables are described as mean ± SD and were compared using Student's t-test. Statistical associations between clinicopathological observations and sPLA2-IIa levels were determined using the Mann-Whitney U test. The clinical value of sPLA2-IIa level as a prognostic parameter was evaluated using the Cox's proportional hazards model. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 1,462 days, 123 patients (12.7%) had adverse events (all-cause mortality, n=52; non-fatal MI, n=31; readmission for heart failure [HF], n=40). Patients were divided into 2 groups according to a serum sPLA2-IIa level of 360 ng/dl, which was determined to be the optimal cut-off for discriminating all-cause mortality based on the maximum value of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Patients with elevated sPLA2-IIa (> 360 ng/dl, n=164) had a significantly higher prevalence of death (18.3% [30/164] vs. 2.75% [22/800] p < 0.001) and readmission for HF (14% [23/164/ vs. 2.1% [17/800], p < 0.0001), but not of non-fatal MI (4.88% [8/164]vs. 2.87% [23/800], p = 0.096), compared to those with sPLA2-IIa < 360 ng/dl. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that elevated serum sPLA2-IIa was associated with an increased risk of mortality and readmission for HF. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum sPLA2-IIa during the convalescent stage of AMI predicted long-term mortality and readmission for HF after survival discharge in the post-AMI patients.
