Abstract

Background: We have conducted a prospective randomised trial to check whether a specific type of regular physical training done by women with obesity is related to obtaining specific psychological benefits. Methods: Participants were patients of outpatient clinic suffering from obesity. Finally, 44 women were qualified for the study and divided into two groups: A (n=22) and B (n=22). The applied intervention consisted of regular 3-month physical exercises in the form of endurance training (group A) or endurance-strength training (group B). Initially and after the completed intervention, anthropometric measurements were carried out in each group (height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference), BMI and WHR were calculated, the level of psychological parameters was examined: stress (PSS-10), general self-esteem (SES), body self-report (BSQ–34, FRS), behaviours associated with diet (TFEQ-18). Results: At baseline, groups did not differ in age (A: M=51.3, SD=8.3 yrs.; B: M=48.2, SD=11.2 yrs.) and BMI (A: M=35.2, SD=3.9 kg/m2; B:M=34.9, SD=3.8 kg/m2). As a result of the intervention, both groups had significantly lower anthropometric parameters and FRS decreased significantly with regard to the current figure (gr. A: p<0.001; gr. B: p=0.01) and BSQ-34 result (gr. A: p=0.001; gr. B: p=0.01). Additionally, group B had lower results in TFEQ-18 in terms of cognitive restraint (p=0.01) and emotional eating (p=0.01). There were no differences between group A and B in terms of the magnitude of changes achieved due to the intervention, except from significant improvement (p=0.03) in group A in terms of perception of the current figure (FRS). Conclusions: Three-months long regular physical activity of women with obesity promotes the perception of own body as slimmer and lower body shape concerns. Endurance-strength training enhances cognitive and emotional control in the field of nutrition, it also seems more beneficial in reducing stress levels. In turn, the change in body shape is more noticed under the influence of endurance training.

Abstract
Background: The under-representation of Vietnamese ethnic groups in existing genetic databases and studies have undermined our understanding of the genetic variations and associated traits or diseases in the population. Cost and technology limitations remain the challenges in performing large-scale genome sequencing projects in Vietnam and many developing countries. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) data offers an alternative untapped resource to study genetic variations in the Vietnamese population. Results: We analyzed the low-coverage genomes of 2,683 pregnant Vietnamese women using their NIPT data and identified a comprehensive set of 8,054,515 single-nucleotide polymorphisms, among which 8.2% were new to the Vietnamese population. Our study also revealed 24,487 disease-associated genetic variants and their allele frequency distribution, especially five pathogenic variants for prevalent genetic disorders in Vietnam. We also observed major discrepancies in the allele frequency distribution of disease-associated genetic variants between the Vietnamese and other populations, thus highlighting a need for genome-wide association studies dedicated to the Vietnamese population. Conclusions: We have demonstrated a successful analysis of NIPT data to reconstruct the Vietnamese genetic profiles. This application provides a powerful yet cost-effective approach for large-scale population genetic studies.

Abstract
Background Dilution of color in rabbits is associated with many different genetic mechanisms that form different color groups. A number of previous studies have revealed potential regulatory mechanisms by which epigenetics regulate pigmentation. However, the genome-wide DNA methylation involved in animal coat-color dilution remains unknown.Results We compared genome-wide DNA methylation profiles in Rex rabbit hair follicles in a Chinchilla group (Ch) and a diluted Chinchilla group (DCh) through whole-genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). Approximately 3.5% of the cytosine sites were methylated in both groups, of which the CG methylation type was in greatest abundance. In total, we identified 126,405 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between the two groups, corresponding to 11,459 DMR-associated genes (DMGs). Gene ontogeny (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis revealed that these DMGs were principally involved in developmental pigmentation and Wnt signaling pathways. In addition, 2 DMRs were randomly selected to verify that the WGBS data were reliable using bisulfite treatment (BSP), and 7 DMGs were analyzed to establish the relationship between the level of DNA methylation and mRNA expression using qRT-PCR.Conclusion These findings provide evidence that there is an association between inherited color dilution and DNA methylation alterations in hair follicles, greatly contributing to our understanding of the epigenetic regulation of rabbit pigmentation.

Published: January 2020

Abstract
BackgroundCulicoides biting midges (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) are known to be vectors of avian Haemoproteus parasites. These parasites cause disease and pathology in birds. The diversity of biting midges in Europe is great, but only four Culicoides species are known to be vectors of avian Haemoproteus parasites. In general, our knowledge about the role of the particular Culicoides species in transmission of Haemoproteus parasites remains insufficient. Information gaps hinder a better understanding of parasite biology and the epizootiology of parasite-caused diseases. The aim of this study was to determine new ornithophilic Culicoides species potentially involved in local transmission of Haemoproteus parasites. To do this we collected biting midges in bird nest boxes, identified their species and prevalence of haemoproteids in insects as well as in juvenile birds during breeding season.Methods Biting midges were collected from bird nest boxes, identified and parous females were tested individually for the presence of haemoproteids. The blood of juvenile birds was sampled to determine a local transmission of Haemoproteus spp. in the study area. We have used both microscopy and PCR-based methods.ResultsIn all, 293 Culicoides females belonging to 11 species were collected from nest boxes. Culicoides pictipennis, Culicoides segnis and Culicoides kibunensis were determined as dominant species collected using this method. Culicoides kibunensis was found to be infected with Haemoproteus lanii (genetic lineage hRB1), C.pictipennis and Culicoides punctatus− with Haemoproteus minutus (hTUPHI01 and hTURDUS2, respectively), C.segnis− with Haemoproteus majoris (hCWT4), H.minutus (hTURDUS2) and Haemoproteus tartakovskyi (hSISKIN1). From 187 studied juvenile birds 31 were infected with H. majoris (hCWT4, hPARUS1, hPHSIB1, hWW2) and Haemoproteus sp. (hPARUS10) parasites, which are widespread in Europe.Conclusions Our results provided information about the distribution of biting midge species and determined new ornithophilic Culicoides species at the study site. This study contributes to epizootiology of avian Haemoproteus infections by specifying Culicoides species that likely are responsible for the transmission of haemoproteids in Europe. Used method is suitable for better understanding vector ecology and evaluating the role of different blood sucking insects in transmission of haemoproteids in different wild ecosystems.

Abstract
BackgroundTo evaluate the training effect among variant practitioners, accompany with their knowledge and accuracy of cutting a mediolateral episiotomy (MLE) before and after the training.Methods 82 participants were recruited at three different obstetric centers, included 35 obstetricians and 47 midwives. A 30 minutes training course were given to all participants by one senior obstetrician. Special paper pads simulating perineum at crowning were used to cut a MLE before and after the course, and a questionnaire about their occupation characteristics was given before the course. Parameters of the MLE were analyzed and compared between some subgroups before and after the course.Results After the course, the mean values of three parameters were significantly increased from 3.146 cm in length, 48 degrees in angle and 0.909 cm in distance to 3.429cm, 50.622degrees and 1.082cm respectively. And doctors had increased angle degrees significantly (P=0.022), while midwives had increased the length and distance significantly (p=0.001and p=0.004). Only senior participants had increased the length and distance of incisions significantly (P=0.010, P=0.020), the accuracy of these two parameters also improved significantly (P=0.020, P=0.031). In subgroups of midwives and seniors, the accuracy of the length and distance also showed significantly increased after the course.Conclusions Training course can improve the knowledge of MLE. The angle, length and distance of incisions all increased and the accuracy of the length and distance significantly improved after course, and the senior participants profited more from the training course.

Water quality performance of a permeable pavement and stormwater harvesting treatment train stormwater control measure
Authors: Winston Ryan J. , Arend Kristi , Dorsey Jay D. , Hunt William F. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Stormwater runoff from urban development causes undesired impacts to surface waters, including discharge of pollutants, erosion, and loss of habitat. A treatment train consisting of permeable interlocking concrete pavement and underground stormwater harvesting was monitored to quantify water quality improvements. The permeable pavement provided primary treatment and the cistern contributed to final polishing of total suspended solids (TSS) and turbidity concentrations (&gt;96%) and loads (99.5% for TSS). Because of this, &gt;40% reduction of sediment-bound nutrient forms and total nitrogen was observed. Nitrate reduction (&gt;70%) appeared to be related to an anaerobic zone in water stored in the scarified soil beneath the permeable pavement, allowing denitrification to occur. Sequestration of copper, lead, and zinc occurred during the first 5 months of monitoring, with leaching observed during the second half of the monitoring period. This was potentially caused by a decrease in pH within the cistern or residual chloride from deicing salt causing de-sorption of metals from accumulated sediment. Pollutant loading followed the same trends as pollutant concentrations, with load reduction improved vis-à-vis concentrations because of the 27% runoff reduction provided by the treatment train. This study has shown that permeable pavement can serve as an effective pretreatment for stormwater harvesting schemes.

Published: January 2020

Background:
Cervical Cancer (CC) is the most common leading cancer in women globally. This is considered
to be the type of cancer that is restricted to women. Any women in the reproductive age range can develop
CC. However, women between the ages of 25 and 39 are at a higher risk.

Objective:
In comparison with developed countries, the screening and awareness of CC in developing countries are
significantly low. Infection with Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of CC, especially HPV-16 and
HPV-18. Other than HPV, there are other factors that can contribute to CC, such as Human simplex virus (HSV)
infection and immunocompromised patients with HIV.

Conclusion:
Cervical cancer can be detected by molecular techniques such as (1) PCR, (2) visual acetic acid method,
(3) DNA Hybrid II test, (4) liquid-based cytology, (5) Pap-Smear techniques, and (6) colposcopy techniques. Early
detection of CC is very much needed; cryotherapy or LEEP (Loop electro surgical excision procedure) can be conducted
during the pre-invasive stage of CC. Some metabolic changes in the human body such as fluctuating levels of
insulin and triglycerides and increased activity of adiponectin may lead to CC. These contributing factors, such as
adipokines, can be used as biomarkers for CC detection.
