Intrauterine growth retardation affects liver bile acid metabolism in growing pigs: effects associated with the changes of colonic bile acid derivatives | Abstract Background Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) is associated with severely impaired nutrient metabolism and intestinal development of pigs. Our previous study found that IUGR altered intestinal microbiota and metabolites in the colon. However, the consequences of IUGR on bile acid metabolism in pigs remained unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the bile acid metabolism in the liver and the profile of bile acid derivatives in the colon of growing pigs with IUGR using bile acid targeted metabolomics. Furthermore, we determined correlations between colonic microbiota composition and metabolites of IUGR and normal birth weight (NBW) pigs at different growth stages that were 7, 21, and 28-day-old, and the average body weight (BW) of 25, 50, and 100 kg of the NBW pigs. Results The results showed that the plasma total bile acid concentration was higher (P P = 0.08) at 28-day-old in IUGR pigs. The hepatic gene expressions related to bile acid synthesis (CYP7A1, CYP27A1, and NTCP) were up-regulated (P ATGL, HSL, and PC) were down-regulated (P P P Unclassified_[Mogibacteriaceae], Lachnospira, and Slackia abundances were negatively correlated (P Unclassified_Clostridiaceae abundance with 6,7-diketolithocholic acid at the 25 kg BW stage. Conclusions These findings suggest that IUGR could affect bile acid and glucolipid metabolism in growing pigs, especially at the 25 kg BW stage, these effects being paralleled by a modification of bile acid derivatives concentrations in the colonic content. The plausible links between these modified parameters are discussed. | [

Art. I.—On the present State and future Prospects of Oriental Literature, viewed in connexion with the Royal Asiatic Society | When the Asiatic Society was first founded in Bengal, the purposes of its institution were stated in these memorable words by Sir William Jones: “The bounds of its investigation will be the geographical limits of Asia; and within these limits its inquiries will be extended to whatever is performed by man, or produced by nature.” The announcement was hailed with enthusiasm, not only by the ardent scholars who began to explore the untrodden fields of Indian literature, but by their distant countrymen, anxious to learn the result of their investigations. Asia has ever engaged the sympathies of Christian Europe; it was the cradle of our race, the birth-place of our faith, the first great source of our civilisation. We can read no history, investigate no antiquarian problem, nor examine any philological research, without having our attention more or less directed towards those vast plateaux whence our forefathers descended into the western world. Every new fact communicated respecting them interests us like intelligence of our family; every fresh monument of antiquity discovered in these regions claims the same respect that we accord to the tombs of our ancestors. | [

Fertilizer 15N balance in a soybean–maize–maize rotation system based on a 41-year long-term experiment in Northeast China | Global awareness of the need to enhance crop production and reduce environmental issues associated with nitrogen (N) fertilizer has increased. However, studies on how the N fate changed with manure addition are still limited. To explore efficient fertilization management for an improved grain yield, N recovery efficiency, and reduced N residual in the soil or that unaccounted for, a field 15N micro-plot trial in a soybean–maize–maize rotation was conducted to evaluate the effect of fertilization regimes on soybean and maize yields and the fertilizer N fate in the plant–soil system during 2017–2019 within a 41-year experiment in Northeast China. Treatments included chemical N alone (N), N and phosphorus (NP), N, P, and potassium (NPK), and those combined with manure (MN, MNP, and MNPK). Application of manure increased grain yield, on average, by 153% for soybean (2017) and 105% and 222% for maize (2018 and 2019) compared to no manure, with the highest at MNPK. Crop N uptake and that from labeled 15N-urea also benefited from manure addition, mainly partitioned to grain, and the average 15N-urea recovery was 28.8% in the soybean season with a reduction in the subsequent maize seasons (12.6%, and 4.1%). Across the three years, the fertilizer 15N recovery ranged from 31.2–63.1% (crop) and 21.9–40.5% (0–40 cm soil), with 14.6–29.9% unaccounted for, including N losses. In the two maize seasons, manure addition significantly increased the residual 15N recovery in crop attributed to the enhancing 15N remineralization, and reduced that in soil and unaccounted for compared to single chemical fertilizer, with MNPK performing the best. Therefore, applying N, P, and K fertilizers in the soybean season and NPK combined with manure (13.5 t ha–1) in the maize seasons is a promising fertilization management strategy in Northeast China and similar regions. | [

340 EFFECT OF GLUCOSE ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF GERMINAL VESICLE AND MEIOTIC PROGRESSION OF PORCINE OOCYTES IN A CHEMICALLY DEFINED MEDIUM | Glucose metabolism through the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) seems to play a critical role in meiotic resumption in mouse oocytes (Downs et al. 1998 Biol. Reprod. 58, 1084–1094). However, the role is not clear in porcine oocytes. In the present study, we examined whether glucose affects morphological change of germinal vesicles and the resumption of meiosis in porcine oocytes in a chemically defined medium. In the first experiment, porcine cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected from 3–6-mm follicles of slaughterhouse ovaries and cultured in a chemically defined medium, mNCSU37-PVA with/without 5.55 mM glucose in the presence of eCG, hCG, and dibutyryl cAMP for 20–22 h and then in the absence of eCG, hCG, and dibutyryl cAMP for 24 h. In the second experiment, 5.55 mM glucose in the maturation medium was replaced with the same concentration of Na pyruvate. In the third experiment, the PPP inhibitor 6-aminonicotinamide (6-AN) was added to the maturation medium at various concentrations (0, 10, 50, and 100 �M). To determine the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), OCCs were fixed, blocked, and treated with anti-G6PD polyclonal antibody and the secondary antibody labeling a fluorescent material. Results from 3–5 replicates were analyzed by ANOVA and Duncan's multiple range test. When OCCs were cultured in glucose-free chemically defined maturation media, regardless of the presence of hormones and dibutyryl cAMP, germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) of oocytes was inhibited (10.0–21.3%), as compared with OCCs cultured in the presence of glucose and hormones (91.4–92.0%). In a majority of oocytes in which GVBD was inhibited, the arrest occurred at the GV-I stage. When OCCs were cultured in maturation media in which glucose was replaced with Na pyruvate, GVBD was not inhibited any more than in control samples that were cultured in the presence of glucose (97.4% vs. 97.1%). However, the incidence of oocytes developing to the metaphase II stage was significantly lower in this condition than in controls (4.8% vs. 49.9%, respectively). A majority of the oocytes were at the metaphase I stage (86.0% vs. 45.5% in controls). The presence of 6-AN in maturation media significantly inhibited GVBD of oocytes (77.3, 29.0, 7.4, and 8.4% at 0, 10, 50, and 100 µM, respectively) and arrested the oocytes at the GV-I stage. Immunocytochemistry with anti-G6PD demonstrated the activity of G6PD in cumulus cells of OCCs. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that glucose plays a critical role in the release of porcine oocytes arrested at the GV-I stage, probably through PPP of cumulus cells. The current results also suggest the possibility of gluconeogenesis in porcine OCCs when glucose in maturation media was replaced with Na pyruvate. | Reproduction, Fertility and Development | [

AT90s8535D CHIP APPLICATION FOR HEART RATE VARIABILITY DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS | By using wireless mobile communications and mobile information terminals, Internet and the linking of computers and information technology to human bodies effectively, mobile computing can play an important role in modern technology that can be used by anybody anytime, anywhere, and can reconsider new technology with physiological measurements and reconstruct it creatively. In particular, mobile computing can intervene in the process of inducing biometric changes before diseased symptoms develop into diseases in an aging society. Nevertheless, there are difficulties, such as data, treatment by many parameters, ambiguity of data standardization and difficulty of the simultaneous collection of data etc. Therefore, in this study, a system was embodied by excluding time limiting factors using mobile computing and selecting the mobile neural dynamic coding method based on bioelectric signals. As a result of the experiment, it could be a model for biomedical Signal Mobile Analysis Devices and mobile biometric measuring devices, whose self-measurement can be made possible by an academic approach. Furthermore, it became the research foundation of the atypical characteristics of the formation of bioelectrical signals based on mobile applications and could be modeled in the structure circuit form of a biosignal. | [

Comparison of Properties and Structures of Compact and Conventional Spun Yarns | The properties and structural parameters of compact and conventional ring yarns produced at five different twist levels were compared. A modified version of the tracer fiber technique ( J. Textile Inst., 43, T60-T66, 1952) combined with the Image Analysis Application Version 3.0 (B.A.R.N. Engineering) was utilized to explore yarn structure. Results obtained from these analyses showed that the high tenacity values of compact yarns can be attributed to the higher rate and amplitude of fiber migration in these yarns compared to those in conventional ring yarns. Another important finding was the superiority of compact yarns in terms of tensile properties is less noticeable at higher twist levels and in 50/50 polyester/cotton blend. | [

Metabolic changes in rat serum after administration of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid and discriminated by SVM | Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) exerts marked anticancer effects via promotion of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and prevention of oncogene expression. In this study, serum metabolomics and artificial intelligence recognition were used to investigate SAHA toxicity. Forty rats (220 ± 20 g) were randomly divided into control and three SAHA groups (low, medium, and high); the experimental groups were treated with 12.3, 24.5, or 49.0 mg kg−1 SAHA once a day via intragastric administration. After 7 days, blood samples from the four groups were collected and analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and pathological changes in the liver were examined using microscopy. The results showed that increased levels of urea, oleic acid, and glutaconic acid were the most significant indicators of toxicity. Octadecanoic acid, pentadecanoic acid, glycerol, propanoic acid, and uric acid levels were lower in the high SAHA group. Microscopic observation revealed no obvious damage to the liver. Based on these data, a support vector machine (SVM) discrimination model was established that recognized the metabolic changes in the three SAHA groups and the control group with 100% accuracy. In conclusion, the main toxicity caused by SAHA was due to excessive metabolism of saturated fatty acids, which could be recognized by an SVM model. | [

Effects of vitamin D and/or magnesium supplementation on mood, serum levels of BDNF, inflammatory biomarkers, and SIRT1 in obese women: a study protocol for a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial | Abstract Background Emerging evidence has shown that vitamin D and magnesium have anti-inflammatory and anti-depressant effects. Dietary intake of magnesium is associated with reduced body mass index, waist circumference, body fat percentage, as well as inflammatory biomarkers and depressive symptoms. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to inflammation, obesity, and depressive symptoms. This study will test the effects of vitamin D and magnesium co-supplementation on mood, serum level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), inflammation, and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in obese women. Methods We will conduct an 8-week, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, in a factorial design, to evaluate the individual effects of vitamin D and magnesium, and co-supplementation of them, on mood, serum level of BDNF, inflammation, and SIRT1 in 108 obese women. Discussion We hypothesize that vitamin D and magnesium co-supplementation may provide a new adjuvant therapy through modulation of BDNF, inflammation, and SIRT1 in obese women.

Attitudes toward COVID-19 Vaccination on Social Media: A Cross-Platform Analysis | During the COVID-19 pandemic, social media content analysis allowed for tracking attitudes toward newly introduced vaccines. However, current evidence is limited to single social media platforms. Our objective was to compare arguments used by anti-vaxxers in the context of COVID-19 vaccines across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. We obtained the data set of 53,671 comments regarding COVID-19 vaccination published between August 2021 and February 2022. After that, we established categories of anti-vaccine content, manually classified comments, and compared the frequency of occurrence of the categories between social media platforms. We found that anti-vaxxers on social media use 14 categories of arguments against COVID-19 vaccines. The frequency of these categories varies across different social media platforms. The anti-vaxxers’ activity on Facebook and Twitter is similar, focusing mainly on distrust of government and allegations regarding vaccination safety and effectiveness. Anti-vaxxers on TikTok mainly focus on personal freedom, while Instagram users encouraging vaccination often face criticism suggesting that vaccination is a private matter that should not be shared. Due to the differences in vaccine sentiment among users of different social media platforms, future research and educational campaigns should consider these distinctions, focusing more on the platforms popular among adolescents (i.e., Instagram and TikTok). | [

Effect of a Jet Control Device on the Process of Missile and Internal Weapons Bay Separation | To ensure that the missile is safely separated from the internal weapons bay, the jet is used to control the process of missile separation, which is mounted on the front edge of the bay. The length-to-depth ratio of the bay was L/D=8, the diameter of the missile was d1 =0.178 m, the diameter of the jet was d2 =0.05 m . The FLUENT software was combined with our group-developed code under the platform of a user-defined function (UDF) to solve the flow field and the six-degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) of missile. The detached eddy simulation method and dynamic mesh technology were used in the numerical calculations. The boundary condition of missile, bay, and aircraft was no-slip wall condition. The boundary condition of the jet was the pressure-inlet. The pressure far-field boundary was selected as other boundaries. The constraint of the ejection device on the missile was considered. It was found that the jet control device thickens the shear layer, so the shear layer with more gradual velocity gradients, which is beneficial to the separation of missile. The distance between the internal weapons bay and the missile in the positive z-direction with the jet is 1.74 times that without the jet at t=0.5 s. In the case of the jet control device, the pitching angle of the missile ranged from 0.93° to -3.94° , the angular motion range of the missile with the jet is smaller than that without. The jet can make the characteristics of the flow field friendly, and enable the missile to separate from the bay quickly, stably, and safely. | [

Epidemiology of Hypoalbuminemia in Hospitalized Patients: A Clinical Matter or an Emerging Public Health Problem? | Serum albumin levels are strongly associated with the morbidity, prognosis, and mortality rates of patients with hypoalbuminemia, which is a frequent problem during hospitalization. An observational retrospective study was carried out to analyze changes in albumin levels in hospitalized patients at the “Fondazione Policlinico Tor Vergata—PTV” in 2018. The prevalence of preexisting hypoalbuminemia at the time of discharge from hospital was investigated using a sample of 9428 patients. Information was collected from the discharge files recorded in the central informatics system of the hospital. Analysis of albumin levels at admission and at discharge was conducted by classes of albuminemia and then stratified by age. At the time of admission, hypoalbuminemia was found to be present in more than half of the sample, with no sex differences. The serum albumin level tended to decrease with age, with pathologic levels appearing from 50 years and progressive worsening thereafter. The condition of marked and mild hypoalbuminemia was more prevalent in patients over 65 years of age. Our findings suggest that hypoalbuminemia should be considered a dangerous condition in itself and a serious public health problem. We aimed to emphasize the role of albumin as useful marker of the in-hospital malnutrition and frailty, to be integrated in the routinely assessment of patients for reconsidering ad hoc healthcare pathways after discharge from hospital, especially when dealing with fragile populations. | [

A New Configuration of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine for a Distributed and Efficient Wind Power Generation System | Preliminary results obtained for a new configuration lift based vertical-axis wind turbine are shown. The turbine rotor is a cross flow fan type made with high curvature aerodynamic profiles. A reduced scale model of the turbine rotor has been designed and preliminary tested at the Department of Aerospace Engineering of the University of Pisa (rotor diameter = 250 mm, rotor height = 210 mm). The reduced scale model shows an efficiency of about 18%. The rotor is of a self-starting type. Two-dimensional CFD analyses have been performed applying both the Moving Reference Frame and the Moving Mesh conditions to the grid which surrounds the rotor blades (Fluent® Rel. 6.3 and STAR-CCM+® Rel. 6.04 have been used). Noticeable scale effects have been found numerically, so, the efficiency of a full scale lift based vertical axis multi-blades optimized wind turbine is expected to be comparable with lift based horizontal-axis wind turbines. | [

Nerve Response to Superelastic Shape Memory Polyurethane Aerogels | We have previously shown the suitability of aerogels as scaffolds for neuronal cells. Here, we report on the use of superelastic shape memory polyurethane aerogels (SSMPA). SSMPA have a distinctly different stiffness than previously reported aerogels. The soft and deformable nature of SSMPA allowed for radial compression of the aerogel induced by a custom designed apparatus. This radial compression changed the pore diameter and surface roughness (Sa) of SSMPA, while maintaining similar stiffness. Two varieties of SSMPA were used, Mix-14 and Mix-18, with distinctly different pore diameters and Sa. Radial compression led to a decreased pore diameter, which, in turn, decreased the Sa. The use of custom designed apparatus and two types of SSMPA allowed us to examine the influence of stiffness, pore size, and Sa on the extension of processes (neurites) by PC12 neuronal cells. PC12 cells plated on SSMPA with a higher degree of radial compression extended fewer neurites per cell when compared to other groups. However, the average length of the neurites was significantly longer when compared to the unrestricted group and to those extended by cells plated on SSMPA with less radial compression. These results demonstrate that SSMPA with 1.9 µm pore diameter, 1.17 µm Sa, and 203 kPa stiffness provides the optimum combination of physical parameters for nerve regeneration. | [

Dawn and dusk of Late Cretaceous basin inversion in central Europe | Abstract. Central and western Europe were affected by a compressional tectonic event in the Late Cretaceous, caused by the convergence of Iberia and Europe. Basement uplifts, inverted graben structures, and newly formed marginal troughs are the main expressions of crustal shortening. Although the maximum activity occurred during a short period of time between 90 and 75 Ma, the exact timing of this event is still unclear. Dating of the start and end of Late Cretaceous basin inversion gives very different results depending on the method applied. On the basis of borehole data, facies, and thickness maps, the timing of basin reorganization was reconstructed for several basins in central Europe. The obtained data point to a synchronous start of basin inversion at 95 Ma (Cenomanian), 5 Myr earlier than commonly assumed. The end of the Late Cretaceous compressional event is difficult to pinpoint in central Europe, because regional uplift and salt migration disturb the signal of shifting marginal troughs. Late Campanian to Paleogene strata deposited unconformably on inverted structures indicate slowly declining uplift rates during the latest Cretaceous. The differentiation of separate Paleogene inversion phases in central Europe does not appear possible at present. | [

Photovoltage Formation Across Si P-N Junction Exposed to Laser Radiation | Abstract Photovoltage formation across Si p-n junction exposed to laser radiation is experimentally investigated. Illumination of the junction with 1.06 μm wavelength laser radiation leads to formation of classical photovoltage Uphdue to intense electronhole pair generation. When the photon energy is lower than the semiconductor forbidden energy gap, the photovoltage U is found to consist of two components, U = Uf+ Uph. The first Uf is a fast one having polarity of thermoelectromotive force of hot carriers. The second Uphis classical photovoltage with polarity opposite to Uf. It is found that Ufis linearly dependent on laser intensity. The classical photovoltage is established to decrease with the rise of radiation wavelength due to decrease in two-photon absorption coefficient with wavelength. Predominance of each separate component in the formation of the net photovoltage depends on both laser wavelength and intensity | [

Periodic Solutions and Controls of Tethered Systems in Elliptic Orbits | In this paper we study the periodic solution of the librational motion of a tethered system in elliptic orbit and clarify its mechanical characteristics. Basic libration control toward the periodic solution is also presented. A tethered system is modeled as a rigid body, and a set of nonlinear equations of motion about the librational and the orbital motions is formulated. An approximated analytical solution is obtained through the Lindstedt perturbation method. The total mechanical energy is formulated, and it is shown that it has the minimum value when the librational and orbital motions coincide with the periodic solution. This means that the periodic solution is the minimum energy solution, and that the periodic solution in an elliptic orbit has the same significance as the equilibrium state in a circular orbit from the mechanical point of view. A libration control toward the periodic solution is also investigated, and the effectiveness of this control strategy is demonstrated by using the periodic on-off control through a thruster installed on the subsatellite. | [

Initial Failure Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates under Humid Conditions | A quadratic isoparametric finite element formulation based on the first-order shear deformation theory is presented for the initial failure analysis of a laminated composite plate exposed to moist conditions. The moisture concentration causing the failure of composite laminate has been predicted in the present study. An iteration method has been developed for the prediction of moisture concentration for the weakest ply failure of laminated composite plates. Several numerical examples are considered and the results are compared with those available in the published literature. The moisture concentration for the starting of failure has been computed for cross-ply and angle-ply laminations with various boundary conditions, taking into account the moisture independence of the materials properties. | [
