Authors: MD ABDUL HALIM SHAH  , NAOREM SHUBHASCHANDRA SINGH
Published: August 2024

The extraction of Pongamia pinnata seed oil was accomplished through the solvent extraction technique, employing petroleum ether as the solvent on the crushed kernel. Subsequent to extraction, the oil underwent purification for further analysis via column chromatography over silica gel (60-120 mesh), utilizing a mixture of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate (20:1) as the eluent. The resulting purified oil was then subjected to transesterification, producing the final product recognized as biodiesel, characterized by its composition of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). The FAME composition of Pongamia pinnata seed oil was meticulously determined through NMR, IR, and GC-MS analyses. The transesterified oil of Pongamia pinnata revealed a FAME composition consisting of 10.53 wt% of methyl palmitate (C16:0), 68.05 wt% of methyl oleate (C18:1), 12.58 wt% of methyl stearate (C18:0), 3.65 wt% of methyl arachidate (C20:0), and 5.22 wt% of methyl behenate (C22:0).

Pathways to healthy and sustainable diets: meat-eating context
Authors: McCormick Benjamin , McBey David , Horgan Graham , Macdiarmid Jennifer
Published: August 2024

Building on earlier work that examined the situational context of meat consumption, we examine if situational differences influence the consumption patterns of different types of meat. Meats are not alike in terms of their impacts on health and the environment. As meat consumption changes, people may transition from one form (e.g., red meat) to another (e.g., white meat) rather than reducing their meat consumption outright.

Authors: Xu Junzhao , Wang Xiaoni , Niu Huaxin
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of corn straw-based unfermented and fermented total mixed rations (TMR) supplemented with exogenous cellulase on the in vitro fermentation characteristics, growth performance, feeding behavior, apparent digestibility, rumen fermentation and digestive enzyme activities of Chinese Simmental bulls.Methods: Unfermented (direct spraying of exogenous cellulase onto TMR, TMR) and fermented (exogenous cellulase fermentation for more than 7 d, fermented total mixed rations [FTMR]) TMR were collected, dried, powdered and used as fermentation substrates. The fermentation liquid was ruminal fluid collected from Chinese Simmental bulls. The artificial rumen culture fluid were continuously cultured in vitro for 48 h. Based on the diets they were fed, 24 healthy Chinese Simmental bulls (average weight of 495.93±10.89 kg) were randomly divided into two groups, with 12 bulls in each group, which were fed TMR or FTMR. The study lasted 56 d.Results: In in vitro experiments, the neutral detergent fiber (NDF) degradability and total volatile fatty acid, propionate, iso-butyrate, iso-valerate and valerate concentrations were greater in the FTMR group (p<0.05) than in the TMR group. However, the methane production, pH and acetate/propionate (A/P) of the FTMR group tended to be lower (p<0.05) than those of the TMR group. In the in vivo experiments, the average daily gain, eating rate, and feed efficiency of the FTMR groups were greater (p<0.05) than those of the TMR group. Similarly, the NDF degradability of the FTMR group was greater (p<0.05) than that of the TMR group. Compared to those in the TMR group, the concentrations of total volatile fatty acids, iso-butyrate, propionate and butyrate were greater in the FTMR group (p<0.05), and the A/P ratio was lower (p<0.05). Similarly, cellulase, xylanase, and β-glucosidase activities were greater (p<0.05) in the FTMR group than in the TMR group.Conclusion: Corn straw-based FTMR supplemented with exogenous cellulase play a vital role in decreasing the structural carbohydrate content of TMR and ruminal methane production in vitro, improving nutrient digestion and absorption, optimizing rumen fermentation, and improving the growth performance of beef cattle.

Published: August 2024

Objective: This study aimed to develop an enhanced model for predicting pork freshness by integrating hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and chemometric analysisMethods: A total of 30 Longissimus thoracis samples from three sows were stored under vacuum conditions at 4°C±2°C for 27 days to acquire data. The freshness prediction model for pork loin employed partial least squares regression (PLSR) with Monte Carlo data augmentation. Total bacterial count (TBC) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), which exhibited increases correlating with metabolite changes during storage, were designated as freshness indicators. Metabolic contents of the sample were quantified using nuclear magnetic resonance.Results: A total of 64 metabolites were identified, with 34 and 35 showing high correlations with TBC and VBN, respectively. Lysine and malate for TBC (R2 = 0.886) and methionine and niacinamide for VBN (R2 = 0.909) were identified as the main metabolites in each indicator by Model 1. Model 2 predicted main metabolites using HSI spectral data. Model 3, which predicted freshness indicators with HSI spectral data, demonstrated high prediction coefficients; TBC R2p = 0.7220 and VBN R2p = 0.8392. Furthermore, the combination model (Model 4), utilizing HSI spectral data and predicted metabolites from Model 2 to predict freshness indicators, improved the prediction coefficients compared to Model 3; TBC R2p = 0.7583 and VBN R2p = 0.8441.Conclusion: Combining HSI spectral data with metabolites correlated to the meat freshness may elucidate why certain HSI spectra indicate meat freshness and prove to be more effective in predicting the freshness state of pork loin compared to using only HSI spectral data.

Authors: Song Yoon Soo , Son Ah Reum , Kim Beob Gyun
Published: August 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of previous equations for estimating gross energy (GE) in feed ingredients and to develop the novel equations.Methods: A total of 2,279 ingredient samples consisted of barley (n = 58), corn (n = 319), corn distillers dried grains with solubles (n = 13), corn gluten feed (n = 583), copra expellers (n = 156), copra meal (n = 234), cottonseed meal (n = 12), palm kernel expellers (n = 504), rapeseed meal (n = 114), soybean meal (n = 138), wheat (n = 70), and wheat bran (n = 78) were analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber, ash, and GE. The 2,279 ingredient samples were used for evaluating the previous equations and developing novel equations. Using data from 62 ingredients in the swine NRC publication in 2012, the old equations and the novel equations were evaluated.Results: Based on the evaluation using 2,279 samples, the equation developed by Ewan in 1989 underestimates GE by 218 kcal/kg DM (standard error = 4 and p<0.001) on average and underestimates more for low-GE ingredients (linear bias = –0.121; standard error = 0.025 and p<0.001). The equation reported by Sauvant, Perez, and Tran in 2004 also underestimates GE by 135 kcal/kg DM (standard error = 4 and p<0.001) on average. Novel equations for estimating GE concentration (kcal/kg DM) in feeds were developed: GE = 4,299+7×CP +53×EE, with R2 = 0.342 and p<0.001; GE = 4,341+11×CP+54×EE–24×ash, with R2 = 0.372 and p<0.001, where all independent variables are in % DM. In the validation using 62 feed ingredients in the NRC publication, the equations developed in the present study were accurate whereas the previous equations were not.Conclusion: The novel equations developed in the present study fairly accurately estimate gross energy concentrations in concentrate feeds.
circRNA18_46222157_46248185 inhibits melanogenesis by targeting miR-211/EP300 pathway in goat melanocytes
Authors: Ji Kai Yuan , Zhang Xue Qing , Zhao Yi Wei , Liang Chun E , Yuan Xin , Zhang Yun Hai
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study investigated the effects of circRNA18_46222157_46248185 (named circRNA18) on goat melanogenesis, which differs significantly in goat skins isolated from white and brown coat-colored skins.Methods: Expression patterns of circRNA18 in goat skin and melanocytes were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and in situ hybridization. The circRNA18 interference vector was designed and synthesized to transfect melanocytes and detect the effect of circRNA18 interference on melanin production. Bioinformatics software was used to predict the targeted adsorption miRNAs of circRNA18, verified by luciferase assay. A miRNA expression vector was constructed and transfected into melanocytes to detect the effect of miRNA on melanin production, and the targeted regulatory genes were detected by luciferase assay. Target gene interference vector was constructed to detect the influence of target gene interference on melanin production.Results: qRT-PCR results unveiled distinct expression patterns of circRNA18 in diverse tissues of male and female goats, while in situ hybridization assays showed that circRNA18 is expressed in the cytoplasm of melanocytes. Functional analysis demonstrated that the downregulation of circRNA18 in melanocytes leads to a significant increase (p<0.01) in melanin production. Bioinformatics analysis identified a potential miR-211 binding site on circRNA18, and luciferase assay confirmed their interaction. Overexpression of miR-211 in melanocytes significantly augmented (p<0.01) melanin production. There were two potential miR-211 binding sites on adenoviral E1A-binding protein (EP300), and the overexpression of miR-211 in melanocytes significantly decreased (p<0.001) EP300 expression, with luciferase assay confirming their interaction. Downregulation of EP300 expression in melanocytes through siRNA-EP300 transfection results in a substantial increase (p<0.05) in melanin production. qRT-PCR results indicated that overexpression of mimics-circRNA18 in melanocytes markedly suppressed (p<0.0001) miR-211 expression, significantly elevated (p<0.01) EP300 expression, and significantly inhibited (p<0.001) melanin production.Conclusion: circRNA18_46222157_46248185 acted as a negative regulator of melanogenesis in goat melanocytes by targeting the miR-211/EP300 pathway, and guiding animal hair color breeding strategies.
Animal amino acid sensor — A review
Authors: Ke Yongding , Peng Xinyu , Song Chengchuang , Fang Xingtang , Wang Yanhong , Zhang Chunlei
Published: August 2024

Cell growth and metabolism necessitate the involvement of amino acids, which are sensed and integrated by the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying amino acid sensing remain poorly understood. Research indicates that amino acids are detected by specific sensors, with the signals being relayed to mTORC1 indirectly. This paper reviews the structures and biological functions of the amino acid sensors identified thus far. Additionally, it evaluates the potential role these sensors play in the developmental changes of the livestock production.

Authors: Yoon June Hyeok , Kong Changsu
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study aimed to determine apparent metabolizable energy concentrations and ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility in cereal grains and to compare those metabolizable energy values between the total collection and index methods for 21-day-old broilers.Methods: On day 17 post-hatch, a total of 336 Ross 308 male broilers were assigned to 6 dietary treatments with 8 replicate cages (7 birds/cage). Five experimental diets were formulated to incorporate non-extruded corn, extruded corn, wheat, wheat flour, and barley as the sole source of AA and energy.Results: Retention of dry matter and nitrogen, and energy concentrations in cereal grains determined by the total collection method were greater (p<0.05) than those determined by the index method. Energy concentrations of non-extruded and extruded corn were greater (p<0.05) than those of wheat, wheat flour, and barley. Wheat flour exhibited greater (p<0.05) ileal AA digestibility than non-extruded and extruded corn. Extruded corn and wheat showed comparable ileal AA digestibility values, whereas barley had the lowest among cereal grains.Conclusion: Energy concentrations of cereal grains determined by the total collection method were greater than those determined by the index method. Energy concentrations of non-extruded and extruded corn were greater compared to wheat, wheat flour, and barley, irrespective of the method used. The ileal AA digestibility in wheat flour was the greatest, followed by non-extruded corn, extruded corn, wheat, and barley in broilers.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of dietary β-mannanase supplementation on growth performance, intestinal morphology, digesta viscosity, and dietary nutrient utilization in broiler chickens through a meta-analysis. The effects were further examined by a meta-regression analysis with activity levels of β-mannanase in broiler diets.Methods: A total of 23 studies, which were conducted in 11 countries and completed between December 2003 and August 2023, were selected for this meta-analysis. The standardized mean difference and its 95% confidence interval were calculated as the effect size metrics using random effect model, with I2 value being utilized to measure heterogeneity. Investigated measurements included body weight gain (BWG), feed intake, feed conversion ratio (FCR), villus height (VH), crypt depth (CD), VH:CD ratio, digesta viscosity, nitrogencorrected metabolizable energy (n), apparent ileal digestibility (AID), and apparent total tract retention (ATTR) of dry matter (DM), gross energy (GE), and nitrogen (N). All statistical analyses were performed using R version 4.3.3.Results: Results revealed significant positive effects of dietary β-mannanase supplementation on BWG (p = 0.005), FCR (p<0.001), VH (p<0.001), VH:CD (p<0.001), digesta viscosity (p<0.001), AMEn (p = 0.011), AID of GE (p = 0.002) and N (p = 0.003), and ATTR of DM (p = 0.019), GE (p = 0.002), and N (p = 0.005) in broiler chickens. In the meta-regression analysis, increasing activity levels of β-mannanase in broiler diets increased VH:CD (p< 0.001; R2 = 79.2%) and AID of N (p = 0.038; R2 = 67.4%).Conclusion: The current meta-analysis indicates that dietary β-mannanase supplementation improves energy and nutrient utilization in broiler diets possibly by decreasing digesta viscosity and enhancing intestinal morphology in broiler chickens. These beneficial effects can contribute to improved growth performance in broiler chickens.

A Man with Sudden Onset Leg Pain and Weakness
Authors: DeChiara James , Skinner Lisa
Published: August 2024

Case Presentation: An 89-year-old male who had been holding dabigatran in the setting of transcarotid artery revascularization presented to the emergency department with sudden onset leg pain and weakness. Computed tomography angiography revealed acute aortic occlusion and thrombosis of the bilateral common iliac arteries. He underwent aortoiliac and femoral embolectomies and stenting of the bilateral common iliac arteries and returned to his baseline functional status. Discussion: Acute aortic occlusion is a rare but often devastating vascular emergency characterized by obstruction of the aorta by an embolus or thrombosis. Diagnosis can be challenging as it may be mistaken for spinal pathology, which can lead to delays in diagnosis. Despite advances in diagnostic modalities and interventions, acute aortic occlusion often results in high rates of major morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Gozidehkar Zohre , Tabatabaei Seyed Mehdi , Metanat Maliheh , Payandeh Abolfazl , Salimi Khorashad Alireza
Published: August 2024

Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a significant global public health issue. Although infant immunoprophylaxis effectively reduces viral transmission, mother-to-child transmission during pregnancy, often associated with intrauterine infection, remains a major route of HBV infection. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of maternal HBV infection, identify its associated factors, and measure viral load in Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive pregnant women in Zahedan, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study included data from pregnant women who were referred to the Central Laboratory of Zahedan, Iran, for routine pregnancy tests between August and December 2019. Data were collected during the first prenatal visit along with HBsAg testing. Hepatitis B surface antigen testing was repeated for HBsAg-positive women at 24 - 28 weeks of gestation. If the patient remained HBsAg-positive, serum viral load was determined. Factors associated with HBV infection were identified using multiple logistic regression models. Results: A total of 1,474 pregnant women participated in this study. Among them, 24 (1.6%, 95% CI: 0.9% - 2.2%) were HBsAg-positive, with 17 (71%) of these patients being unaware of their infection. The mean viral load in infected women was (11.1 ± 3.2) × 107 IU/mL. Only 13.3% of pregnant women were vaccinated against HBV. Maternal tobacco use, family history of HBV infection, previous history of HBV infection, and history of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease were significantly associated with HBV infection (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of HBV infection remains high among pregnant women, and vertical transmission poses a major challenge in the elimination of HBV infection in southeastern Iran. In addition to active-passive immunoprophylaxis, universal screening of all pregnant women for HBV infection and the use of peripartum antiviral therapy in HBsAg-positive pregnant women with high viral loads are warranted.

Background: Drug interactions can lead to treatment failure, the occurrence of side effects, complicate the clinical course and severity of the disease, and prolong hospitalization duration. Pediatrics are particularly vulnerable to drug interactions. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate prescribed medications and the incidence of drug interactions in pediatric patients. Methods: This study was conducted as a cross-sectional investigation. Over nine months, we evaluated pediatric patients referred to Bandar Abbas Children’s Hospital, affiliated with Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences, who received outpatient treatment services. The medications these patients received were assessed for drug interactions. Only interactions with clinical importance (i.e., category C-D-X) were considered. Using the Lexi-Interact online database, the prescribed drugs were evaluated in terms of the number and type of potential drug-drug interactions. Results: A total of 1011 patients were included in the study based on the determined criteria. The mean age was 4.52 ± 0.11 years, and the male-to-female ratio was 1.2:1. More than two-thirds of the patients were seen by general physicians. Among all participants, 26.7% had at least one clinically significant interaction in their prescriptions. Furthermore, 309 interactions were identified, of which 6.39% were of significant severity, and 93.61% were of moderate severity. The risk rating of C was the most common interaction, followed by X and D (87.7%, 7.4%, and 4.8%, respectively). Regarding reliability, 0.30% had fair reliability, 64.20% had good reliability, and 35.50% had excellent reliability ratings. Patients with underlying conditions were at increased risk of interaction occurrence (OR = 1.8, P = 0.008). Conclusions: Drug interactions with high clinical significance were identified at a high prevalence rate. These interactions can have significant consequences. Pharmacists and physicians play an important role in identifying and managing drug-drug interactions.

The paucity of knowledge of research study design poses challenges to the approach to current research methodologies. This study aims to highlight the various types of research study designs and their suitability for quantitative research studies. This was an exploratory essay on research designs in quantitative research methodology. The study was conducted by the literature review of similar articles on research study designs using Google Scholar, African Journal Online (AJOL), PubMed, MEDLINE and CINAHL as databases. A pair of medical subject headings (Research Design and Quantitative Research Methodology) were used as a search strategy to explore the research question in the above database. There are two arms of research designs in quantitative research study namely the experimental and non-experimental study designs. The experimental arm includes prospective (i.e., clinical trial) and diagnostic studies. In contrast, the nonexperimental arm which is predominantly an observational study is subdivided into descriptive (i.e., case series, case-control) and analytical (i.e., case-control, retrospective, cross-sectional) studies. In conclusion, the research design in quantitative research methodology is broadly classified into experimental and nonexperimental study designs. It plays a significant role in the decision-making of the data collection mechanism. It is a vital tool for the verification of the credibility of a quantitative research methodology.

Land registration is an important step in the land administration system to reduce disputes, increase transparency, and ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, in practice, there are many cases where individuals or groups try to control or claim rights to land that do not belong to them personally, through various unlawful means, including unauthorized certification. This study aims to know and analyze in depth the conditions that must be met in the registration of inherited land and the legal consequences for cultivators/appointees who wrongfully certify land that does not belongs to them. Specifically, this study focuses on the specific legal requirements for registering inherited property and the implications for individuals who attempt to register land illegitimately, highlighting the potential legal repercussions and the need for enforcement of property rights. The findings of this study can be used as a reference for policymakers and legal practitioners.

Les larves de Rhynchophorus phoenicis sont une ressource très appréciée par la population dans diverses régions du monde. Cette étude a été menée pour déterminer la meilleure position de morceaux de stipe infestés et l’effet de la présence de trous sur production de larves de dernier stade de R. phoenicis. Elle a utilisé des morceaux de vieux stipe de Raphia de 50 cm de long muni de dix trous profonds de 5 cm, 6 cm de long et 6 de large et infestés de cinq couples d’adultes. Ces morceaux ont été placés sur des tables d’élevage sous moustiquaire pour protéger les insectes des prédateurs. L’étude a confirmé que la position du substrat d’élevage et la présence des trous ont influencé la production de larves de dernier stade de R. phoenicis. Elle a montré que pour une meilleure production de larves de dernier stade par morceau de vieux stipe de Raphia, la position verticale et la présence de trous sur ces morceaux sont les mieux indiquées. Cette technique a la possibilité d’augmenter sensiblement le nombre de larves de dernier stade par morceau de stipe. Pour que ce résultat soit réalisé, il faut absolument mieux contrôler les prédateurs. Mots-clés: Larves de dernier stade ; R. phoenicis ; position morceau de stipe ; Raphia ; présence de trous.
