Cette étude pluridisciplinaire de 4 ans réalisée en domaine expérimental a comparé deux systèmes d’élevage biologique d’ovins allaitants (118 brebis chacun), différant par le rythme de reproduction des brebis : une mise bas par brebis et par an (1/an), avec l’objectif d’une forte autonomie alimentaire vs 3 agnelages en 2 ans (3en2), avec l’objectif de maximiser le nombre d’agneaux produits par brebis. Les systèmes ont été évalués au travers du résultat économique, des performances et de la santé des animaux, ainsi que des niveaux d’autonomie fourragère et alimentaire. La productivité numérique par brebis a été en moyenne de 151% en 1/an et de 161,3% en 3en2, avec une plus grande variabilité en 3en2. La consommation de concentré a été plus élevée en 3en2 qu’en 1/an (+29%). La marge brute par brebis a été de 59€ en 3en2 vs 64€ en 1/an. Le taux de mortalité des agneaux et le niveau de parasitisme ont été plus élevés en 3en2 qu’en 1/an. La conformation des carcasses des agneaux, leur état d’engraissement et la couleur du gras de couverture ont été comparables entre les deux systèmes. Par contre, le poids de la carcasse et la fermeté du gras dorsal ont été inférieurs en 3en2 vs 1/an. L’intensification du rythme de reproduction n’a donc pas conduit à de meilleurs résultats économiques. La gestion du système 3en2 s’est révélée plus difficile, et ses résultats plus variables entre années. Au final, ce système d’élevage peut être considéré comme moins durable que le système classique non accéléré. Ce dernier a combiné des performances animales élevées et une meilleure autonomie alimentaire, facteurs déterminants des résultats technico-économiques, qui ont été, par ailleurs, supérieurs à ceux observés dans des fermes AB de la région.

The purpose of this research is to identify the factors contributed to reproductive disorders of beef cattle, mapping the factors that affect reproductive disorders of beef cattle and generate strategies to improve reproductive performance of beef cattle in OKU Timur Regency. The targets in the study are 40 beef cattle breeders, 2 inseminators and 2 employees of the Local Office of Fisheries and Livestock Services of OKU Timur Regency.The research was done by survey, the method used was qualitative modeling with the Causal Loop Diagram (CLD). The variables observed in the study were variables related to reproductive performance consisted of Body Condition Score (BCS), Calving Interval (CI), Service per Conception (S/C), Conception Rate (CR) and variables related to factors indicated to have contribution to reproductive disorders such as farmer characteristics, resources owned by farmers and resources possessed by inseminators. The results showed that reproductive disorders of beef cattle in OKU Timur Regency included ovarian hypofunction, endometritis, pyometra, systolic ovary, silent heat, vulvitis, vaginitis, mummification and placental retention. The identified factors contributed to reproductive disorders are low quality and availability of feed, low breeders' knowledge, absence of postpartum treatment, limited medical supplies and quantity, unstandard technical implementation of artificial insemination, cross breeding of heifer, insufficient inseminator facilities. Strategies that can be done to improve the reproductive performance of beef cattle is to increase the role of the government in providing superior feed seeds and assisting by Universities; increasing the number of medicalsupplies and facilities, equip inseminator with sufficient facilities, and technical insemination and increasing the intensity of extension services to improve farmers' knowledge and utilization of potential agricultural waste with technology.
Evaluation of Lyapunov-Based Observer Using Differential Mean Value Theorem for Multiphase Flow Characterization
Authors: Farahani Abolfazl Varvani , Montazeri Mohsen 
Published: April 2020

Summary
In this paper, we present two new Lyapunov-based observers for the decentralized multiphase flow measurement that are based on the interconnections between the two subsystems to precisely estimate the states of the multiphase flow at the gas refinery. Because the system is composed of two interconnected subsystems, the states of the condensate and gas subsystems were separately estimated using the differential mean value theorem (DMVT), the sliding mode observer (SMOU), and the HYSYS® simulator (Hyprotech, Ltd., Calgary, Alberta, Canada) by considering the relationship between two subsystems, designing an observer, and converting the conditions to linear matrix inequality (LMI). Using the HYSYS simulator with the real process data, we found that both the observers are capable of estimating the states with some differences in performance, and the drift flux model (DFM) is sufficient for states estimation of the multiphase flow entering the gas refinery.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background Meniscal repair device deployment failure is a recognised complication of all-inside meniscal repair with subsequent risk of patient harm. The Fast-Fix device has undergone design changes to reduce deployment failure since its introduction in 2001. Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence and mechanism of intra-operative deployment failure of the 3 rd generation Fast-fix 360™ (Smith & Nephew, Andover, USA) device. Method Data was prospectively collected for 106 consecutive all-inside meniscal repairs undertaken with the Fast-fix 360™ device. Patient demographics, mechanism of failure, site and type of repair were recorded. Results 20 deployment failures occurred in 423 Fast-fix 360™ deployments, an incidence of 4.72%. Deployment failure occurred in 19 of 109 patients an incidence of 17.43%. Six different failure mechanisms occurred; anchor exiting device without trigger being initiated, anchors not holding in meniscus, both anchors simultaneously exiting device and braided suture failing. The most common failure mechanism was failure of the second anchor not holding in the meniscus. Average cost of device failure was $75 per patient. Conclusion Despite design modification, deployment failure still occurs with similar modes top to the original design.

Abstract
Background

Hepatic disorders are important and diverse disease entities in birds with nonspecific clinical signs. However, paraclinical examinations such as analysis of hepatic enzymes and diagnostic imaging can help evaluation of the liver changes, a definitive diagnosis is possible only with the histopathological evaluation. The aim of the present study was to determine the feasibility and capability of using three-dimensional (3D) Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis (VOCAL) ultrasonography as a noninvasive method for etiologic diagnosis of hepatomegaly in common mynah (Acridotheres tristis).
Result

Mean gray level of liver, mean gray level of muscle, and relative proportion of mean gray level of liver and muscle were calculated using VOCAL 3D-ultrasonography. Statistical analysis of mean gray level of liver and muscle, and relative proportion of gray level of liver and muscle in relation to lipidosis, iron storage, fibroplasia and hepatitis revealed that calculated proportion of mean gray levels of liver and muscle was significantly different among groups with different degrees of lipidosis. Further post-hoc analysis revealed that this proportion in the patients with no or slight lipidosis was significantly greater than the birds which suffered from moderate and severe lipidosis.
Conclusion

Application of VOCAL three-dimensional ultrasonography and evaluation of proportion of mean gray level of liver and muscle can be used as a helpful noninvasive method for diagnosis and monitoring of moderate to severe liver lipidosis in birds, but further validation and comparison with normal livers are needed in patients and normal population.

Abstract
PurposeTo establish the standardized uptake value (SUV) of Tc-99m-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) for normal vertebra in both Chinese male and female by using a SPECT/CT scanner.MethodsA retrospective study was carried out involving 116 men and 105 women who underwent SPECT/CT scan using 99mTc-MDP. We acquired the SUV, CT value of 2416 normal vertebra in total and analyzed the difference of SUV between men and women. We analyzed the vertebra data with no significant difference of SUVmax in male and female group. The correlations between SUVmax value and CT value, age, height, weight in each group were also analyzed.ResultsThe SUVmax, SUVmean of vertebra in men were markedly higher than those in women(P < 0.0009). Specifically, for males, the SUVmax of C1, C2-4 and C5-L5 vertebra appeared to have significant differences(P < 0.05), while no significant difference of the SUVmax of C1-L5 vertebra were observed in females(P < 0.05). The SUVmax of each vertebral segment showed a strong negative correlation with CT values in both men and women(r=-0.89,-0.92;P < 0.0009). The SUVmax of vertebra showed weak significant correlation with weight and height in male (r = 0.4,P < 0.0009;r = 0.28,P = 0.005),and weak significant correlation with weight in females(r = 0.32,P = 0.009).ConclusionThis article study initially established SUVmax, SUVavgmean of normal vertebra in both Chinese men and women with a large sample population,and summarized the SUVmax of vertebra with no significant difference. The results could provide a quantitative reference for clinical diagnosis and the evaluation of therapeutic response in vertebral lesions.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to Use modified thermal cycling method to establish narrow root fracture models and evaluate the diagnosis efficiency of them using four different cone-beam CT (CBCT) units.Methods Fifty-six intact teeth were selected and the crowns of the teeth were embedded using general purpose acrylic resin. 50 VRF models were established by soaking these teeth in liquid nitrogen and hot water cyclically; 6 teeth were used as negative control. All the 56 teeth were scanned with the smallest voxel size of four different CBCT units (NewTom VGi, Planmeca Promax 3D Max, Kavo 3D eXam and Soredex Scanora3D). 10 teeth were randomly selected and the roots were sliced using slow-speed saw to obtain horizontal root sections. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to measure the width of the fracture lines (FLs). The CBCT images were evaluated for the presence or absence of fracture lines. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated for the diagnosis of FLs using the four CBCT units.Results Fifty narrow root fracture models were successfully established, and 25 root sections with 45 FLs were acquired. The width of FLs was from 3.43 µm to 143 µm; 32.06% were less than 25 µm, only 9.6% were from 75 to 150 µm. The AUC was 0.59, 0.520, 0.61 and 0.58 for NewTom VGi, Planmeca Promax 3D Max, Kavo 3D eXam and Soredex Scanora3D, respectively.Conclusions The modified temperature cycling method is a simple and effective method to establish narrow root fracture models, the diagnosis efficiently for these narrow fracture lines were quite poor using all the four different CBCT units.

Abstract
The 2015 Gorkha Earthquake (Mw = 7.8) in Nepal has devastated about 9,000 schools. The majority of damage was conceived in the peripheral districts of the Kathmandu valley. Damage distribution in the most-affected 14 districts shows that previous construction practices were an important determent for the intensity of the damage observed across these districts. The use of improper construction materials, lack of construction supervision and non-compliance with existing building codes during design and construction contributed to most of the school buildings to be severely or fully damaged. In addition to the physical damage to infrastructure, there is a significant psychological impact in terms of the effect that the disaster had on the mental health of on the school-going children, their parents and teachers within the affected areas. Preliminary damage assessment results show that in the most-affected districts, about 86% schools have been affected by the earthquakes and about one million students have been or still are out of schools for a longer period of time as a result of this. Preliminary data shows that about 30% classrooms are collapsed, about 13% classrooms are major damaged, and about 17% are minor damaged with in the most-affected 14 districts. This evidences of losses and damages from the earthquake provides an opportunity to learn lessons for future preparedness to encounter the challenge of disaster. This paper attempts to identify the needs to be addressed for the reconstruction of school buildings after 2015 Gorkha Earthquake in Nepal.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background: Prophylactic ileostomy and colostomy have been widely used to reduce the risk and complications of anastomotic leakage with high-risk colorectal cancer after operation. However, prophylactic ileostomy itself has some complications, and ileostomy high out-put syndrome is one of them. This study was performed to explore the risk factors of HOS in ileostomy.Methods: A total of 114 patients with HOS were screened out from 494 eligible ileostomy patients in the last five years. The clinical and pathological data were analyzed. The relationship between HOS and clinicopathological data was analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed by logistic regression.Results: There was no clear correlation between the occurrence of HOS with sex, age, gross typing, histological grade, location of tumors, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (p > 0.05). Preoperative complications including inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy were risk factors for HOS (p < 0.05). Total colectomy and abdominal infection were risk factors for HOS (p < 0.05) during operation.Conclusion: Inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus and neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer are the preoperative risk factors for HOS. Total colectomy and postoperative abdominal infection are the postoperative risk factors for HOS.

Abstract

Background: The calcineurin inhibitor tacrolimus (TAC) is the second-line treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a multifunctional immunomodulatory factor highly expressed in RA synovial tissues and synovial fluid. This study aimed to investigate the expression of Gal-9 and its correlation with disease activity and response to TAC in RA patients.Methods: Active RA patients were enrolled and treated with TAC alone or in combination with methotrexate and/or prednisone for 12 weeks in a prospective cohort study. Clinical and immunological parameters were recorded at baseline and at week 12. We measured Gal-9 expression in different subsets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells using flow cytometry and assayed Gal-9 levels in plasma. We also tested cytokine levels in plasma by ELISA. Results: The disease activity of RA patients notably decreased after TAC treatment. At baseline, the percentages of CD4+ T cells and T regulatory cells (CD4+CD25+CD127low) expressing Gal-9 were higher in the group with severe disease than in mild or moderate groups. After TAC treatment in RA patients, the Gal-9 expression in CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4-CD8- cell subsets decreased, as well as Gal-9 mean fluorescence intensity in CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Similarly, plasma Gal-9 levels were lower at week 12 than at baseline. Good responders showed significantly lower Gal-9 expression on CD3+ and CD4+ T cell subsets as well as lower plasma Gal-9 levels than poor responders. Gal-9 expression positively correlates with disease activity in RA patients.Conclusion: Gal-9 can be regarded as a new biomarker for evaluating RA activity and efficacy of TAC.
