Authors: Purev Chimgee , Wu Huiguang , Lkhagva Khosbayar , Tumendemberel Odbayar
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the genetic link between variations in vertebral number and meat production traits, such as body weight and body measurements (body length, body height, heart girth, and shin width) in Mongolian (Bayantsagaan) sheep. Additionally, we examined the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes, particularly vertnin (VRTN), nuclear receptor subfamily 6, group A, member 1 (NR6A1), and synapse differentiation-inducing 1-like (SYNDIG1L), with vertebral number variations and their potential impact on meat production traits.Methods: The study involved 220 Bayantsagaan sheep from Bayantsagaan soum, Tov province, Mongolia, including 104 sheep with extra vertebrae group and 116 individuals with typical vertebral number as the control group. Morphological data, including body weight and body measurements, were collected, and genetic samples were obtained. The impact of vertebral number on morphological traits was estimated using a general linear model. The SNPs in the VRTN, NR6A1, and SYNDIG1L genes were sequenced, and their association with vertebral number was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance.Results: Bayantsagaan sheep with extra vertebrae were, on average, 4.45 kg heavier and exhibited higher variability in body size traits compared to the control group. Four polymorphic sites were identified at the VRTN gene, with one polymorphic locus (VRTN1716) showing a significant association with vertebrae number and body size. Sheep with C/C genotype at VRTN1716 locus, had more vertebrae and larger body size compared to other genotypes.Conclusion: The findings suggest that variations in vertebral number and VRTN gene polymorphisms are linked to favorable meat production traits in Bayantsagaan sheep. The identified SNP (VRTN1716) associated with vertebral number and body size offers the potential for marker-assisted selection in breeding programs. These results provide valuable insights into the genetic basis of meat production traits in Bayantsagaan sheep and may contribute to the development of more efficient breeding strategies.

Published: August 2024

Objective: Probiotics are living microorganisms that can provide health benefits when consumed. Here, we investigated the effects of probiotics on gene expression in the spleen of mice using RNA-sequencing analysis between negative control and probiotic groups (including 4 Lactobacillus strains: Lactobacillus fermentum, L. casei, L. plantarum, and L. brevis).Methods: Mice exposed with probiotic in 4 weeks by intragastric administration. Then, spleen tissues of the control and probiotics groups were collected on days 14 and 28 for RNA sequencing.Results: In total, 665, 186, and 81 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly expressed on day 14 vs control, day 28 vs control groups, and probiotics day 28 vs day 14 groups, respectively. On the other hand, 12 toll-like receptor genes underwent additional validation through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), affirming the increased alignment between qRT-PCR and RNA-Seq findings. In addition, the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes and gene ontology analyses revealed that the DEGs were predominantly enriched in defense responses to pathogens, including inflammatory bowel diseases, malaria, leukaemia virus 1, and herpes virus, as well as immune processes related to immune response and signal transduction. This study represents the first investigation into mice's gene expression in the spleen exposed to probiotics using Lactobacillus spp. isolated from a field strain in Vietnam.Conclusion: Our results provide valuable insights into the impacts and functions of probiotics on mammalian development, offering crucial information for the potential therapeutic use of probiotics in defending against pathogens in Vietnam. The findings from this study highlight the potential of probiotics in modulating gene expression in the spleen, which may have implications for immune function and overall health in mice.

Authors: Cho Inho , Kong Changsu
Published: August 2024

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of reducing dietary crude protein (CP) coupled with supplementation of indispensable amino acids (AA) on growth performance of pigs at different growth stages.Methods: A total of 126 (63 barrows and 63 gilts), 90 (45 barrows and gilts), and 72 (36 barrows and 36 gilts) pigs with average weights of 9.8±1.62, 30.6±2.31, and 58.3±2.95 kg in the nursery, growing, and finishing stages, respectively, were assigned to three dietary treatments with six replicates in a randomized complete block design. The pigs had ad libitum access to water and fed three experimental diets, each supplemented with all indispensable AA and subjected to a 2% reduction in CP from the upper limits of 18%, 16%, and 16% established for the nursery, growing, and finishing stages, respectively.Results: In the nursery stage, from 0 to 2 weeks, reducing dietary CP concentrations decreased average daily feed intake (ADFI; linear, p = 0.04). From 2 to 4 weeks, dietary CP reduction decreased average daily gain (ADG; linear, p<0.01; quadratic, p = 0.02), ADFI (linear, p = 0.04), and gain-to-feed ratio (G:F; linear, p = 0.01). From 0 to 4 weeks, reduction in dietary CP concentrations decreased ADG (linear p<0.01), and G:F (linear, p = 0.01). In the growing stage, the dietary CP reduction did not affect growth performance. During the finishing stage, decrease in dietary CP concentrations decreased ADFI from 3 to 6 weeks (quadratic, p<0.01) and 0 to 6 weeks (quadratic, p = 0.01).Conclusion: Dietary CP reduction with indispensable AA supplementation potentially decreases the growth performance of nursery pigs but may not decrease the growth performance of growing and finishing pigs.

Authors: Mostafavi Narges Sadat , Rahimi Fateh , Khashei Sanaz
Published: August 2024

Background: Over the past decades, the role of biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus strains in urinary tract infections (UTIs) has garnered significant attention. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics and diversity of S. aureus strains isolated from patients with UTIs in Isfahan, Iran, in 2017, with regard to their antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and phylogenetic profiles. Additionally, the study investigated potential relationships among these factors statistically to develop efficient control and treatment approaches. Methods: All patients with symptomatic UTIs who had positive urine cultures for S. aureus during the study period at the laboratory of a referral hospital in Isfahan were included. All isolates were identified using specific primers for the nucA gene. Their biofilm formation capacity was evaluated using a combination of the microtiter plate and Congo-red agar methods. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the disk diffusion method. The presence of genes involved in biofilm formation and resistance to cefoxitin, aminoglycosides, and fluoroquinolones was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing, agr typing, and phene plate (PhP) typing were employed to investigate the diversity of collected strains. Results: Results showed that 19%, 57%, and 24% of confirmed S. aureus strains were strong, intermediate, and non-biofilm formers, respectively. The highest rate of resistance was against nalidixic acid (77%), followed by streptomycin (73%). The icaD and icaA genes had the highest frequency among biofilm-producing strains. gyrA (44%) and grlA (35%) were the most frequent genes among fluoroquinolone-resistant strains, while aph(3′)-IIIa was the most prevalent aminoglycoside-modifying enzyme gene. The majority of bacterial strains harbored SCCmec type III and agr type I. PhP typing of strains revealed the presence of 8 common types (CTs) and 14 single types (STs), with CT2 being the dominant type. Conclusions: The present investigation revealed various biofilm production capacities, antimicrobial resistance profiles, and clonal lineages in S. aureus isolated from patients with UTIs. These findings provide further insights into the epidemiology and pathogenicity of S. aureus strains in Iran, thereby improving the quality of surveillance and therapeutic protocols.

Published: August 2024

This community service aims to provide effective and enjoyable learning support to facilitate the acceptance of English language learners into courses and institutions. Today English is an international language that all groups must master. In the world of education, English is introduced from an early age using different methods. In fact, it is not possible to apply effective teaching methods suitable for the level and characteristics of students in all courses. Like LKP Aloha Edu, the teaching and learning process at many elementary levels is still very inefficient, especially in learning English. Inefficiency affects students' motivation and enthusiasm for learning. One reason is the lack of fun learning methods. Therefore, the choice of media must be considered before learning the activity. In this lesson, the community service team used a theoretical approach to English for young learners using a medium suitable for primary school students, namely games, to develop English vocabulary. This media focuses on listening, listening and speaking. The purpose of learning the English language is to increase students' enthusiasm for learning English and to improve their English language skills in a more effective and enjoyable way. The results of this community service are 1. Students' interest and ability to learn English increased. 2. Basic skills, especially in terms of English vocabulary, are more versatile.

The Policy Relevance of Urban Scaling Laws: A Study on Impervious Ground in German Cities
Authors: Bergs Rolf
Published: August 2024

The expansion of urban infrastructure is an important indicator of agglomeration and a major factor in the deterioration of the urban environment. The investment in urban infrastructure is accompanied by the sealing of ground. The implementation of effective policies to reduce the practice of sealing ground is impeded by the existence of conflicting interests and fiscal disincentives. A significant challenge is the dearth of policy-relevant information. Conventional analysis considers urban outcome indicators in proportion to population and neglects non-linear distribution patterns, thus obscuring global regularities that contain important information. The study contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of urban imperviousness through the lens of urban scaling. The present study employs Germany as a case study to examine the extent to which the parameters of the scaling function differ between two types of cities. District Affiliated Cities (DACs) and Administrative City Districts (ACDs), which are afforded greater fiscal autonomy. The analysis indicates that the amount of sealed land exhibited a notable increase between 2006 and 2018 in the ACDs. Calibration of the scaling functions for cities with the actual coefficient of the DAC control estimate and a global orientation exponent (5/6) resulted in a 16% reduction of sealed ground. In conclusion, urban scaling laws offer a valuable tool for analyzing the complex dynamics of urban imperviousness and its control costs, thereby contributing to the formulation of more effective urban policies and planning.

Published: August 2024

Background: Cancer is one of the most important health problems causing deaths in Turkey and the world. Nowadays, many treatment methods such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are applied in cancer patients. Quinoline and its derivatives, which belong to heterocyclic compounds, have many biological activities for drug development. Quinoline compounds play a crucial role in the development of antitumor drugs due to their anticancer activity.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the cytotoxic effects of synthesized seven different quinoline derivatives on lung cancer (A549) and healthy lung epithelial cell (BEAS2B), liver cancer (Hep 3B), and endothelial cell (HUVEC) were determined. Different concentrations were applied and IC50 values were calculated at different time courses. The antimicrobial activites of the compounds were also determined.
Results: The IC50 values of compound 2 on the A549 cell line were determined to be 10.48 μg/mL, 9.738 μg/mL, and 10.14 μg/mL. IC50 values of compound 6 on the same cell line were determined to be 7.307 µg/mL, 9.888 µg/mL, 10.63 µg/mL.
Conclusions: Compounds 2 and 6 had a cytotoxic effect on the BEAS2B cell line. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was determined by the minimum inhibition concentration method on different strains of bacteria and yeast. The compounds showed no antimicrobial activity on bacteria and yeast.

In this study, a 69-year-old male patient who applied to the psychiatry outpatient clinic with SPD complaints was discussed in the light of literature information.
Research: “I’ve always had the abolitionist spirit in me”: Preservice Teachers of Color and Pedagogies of Abolitionist Praxis
Authors: González Rubén A.
Published: August 2024

This year-long ethnographic study explores how two ELA preservice teachers of color enacted pedagogies of abolitionist praxis—centering teaching and learning to and through an abolitionist praxis of identifying and dismantling surveillance, criminalization, and punishment—via the areas of curriculum and instruction, relational work, and organizing and activism. When enacting pedagogies of abolitionist praxis, with specific attention to curriculum and instruction, three findings were identified. First, both teachers purposely and strategically designed their curriculum and instruction to explicitly teach an abolitionist praxis, yet they did so via distinct approaches. Next, the teachers rooted their curriculum and instruction in a radical Black, Indigenous, and feminist imaginary to teach about but, more importantly, teach against carceral practices, policies, and ideologies. Last, both teachers facilitated youth-led action research projects that centered present and future world-building actions. This study provides implications for the education and support of preservice teachers and for K–12 teacher practice.
