Abstract	Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important factors that lead to a decline in sperm quality during semen preservation. Excessive ROS accumulation disrupts the balance of the antioxidant system in sperm and causes lipid oxidative damage, destroying its structure and function. Curcumin is a natural plant extract that neutralizes ROS and enhances the function of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. The effect of curcumin on the preservation of sheep semen has not been reported. This study aims to determine the effects of curcumin on refrigerated sperm (4 °C) and analyze the effects of curcumin on sperm metabolism from a Chinese native sheep (Hu sheep). The results showed that adding curcumin significantly improved (

Abstract	Because substantial numbers of Chinese consumers are prepared to pay for tender and quality lamb, meat quality traits are becoming more relevant for breeding programs for Chinese sheep breeds. The current study estimated heritabilities and genetic correlations for 13 meat quality traits recorded on lamb loins from Hu sheep. Heritability estimates ranged from 0.04 ± 0.06 for meat redness at 45 min to 0.57 ± 0.10 for drip loss, with most of the meat quality traits having moderate heritabilities. Positive genetic correlations were observed among meat color traits. Intramuscular fat (IMF) was genetically correlated with most meat quality traits, indicating that increasing IMF can favor meat pH, color, and tenderness, but would lead to increased cooking loss. Direct selection to increase IMF of loins is recommended to be included in breeding programs for Hu sheep, as it was more efficient than indirect selection on the other meat quality traits. The genetic parameters presented in this preliminary study provide valuable genetic information needed to design a breeding program aimed at improving the quality of lamb meat from Hu sheep.

Abstract	Objective: This study aimed to assess the utility of a combined assessment using the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA), Hounsfield unit (HU) value, and vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score for preoperative osteoporosis (OP) screening in patients scheduled for spinal surgery. Methods: This study encompassed 288 participants, including 128 males and 160 females. Patients were stratified into 2 groups: the OP group (T-score ≤ -2.5) and the non-OP group (T-score > -2.5), determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Binary logistic regression was used to construct a combined diagnostic model, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of these metrics individually or in combination to screen for OP. Results: Osteoporosis patients exhibited significantly lower OSTA and HU values in comparison to non-OP patients, while their VBQ scores were significantly higher (P < 0.001). The ROC curve analysis results indicated that within the male group, the combined diagnosis had a sensitivity of 93.8%, specificity of 82.3%, accuracy of 85.2%, PPV of 63.8%, and NPV of 97.5%. In the female group, the combined diagnosis had a sensitivity of 93.9%, specificity of 87.4%, accuracy of 90.0%, PPV of 83.6%, and NPV of 95.4%. Conclusions: The combined use of OSTA, HU values, and VBQ scores in preoperative OP screening for spinal surgery demonstrates significantly higher accuracy and superior screening value compared to individual assessments. These results establish a robust scientific foundation for conducting preoperative OP screening in patients undergoing spinal surgery.

Abstract	Sheep breed has a major influence on characteristics of meat quality and intramuscular fat (IMF), however, studies into the relationship between sheep breed and meat quality traits rarely consider the large variation in IMF within breed. In this study, groups of 176 Hu and 76 Tan male sheep were established, weaned at 56 days old, with similar weights, and representative samples were selected based on the distribution of IMF in each population, to investigate variations in meat quality, IMF and volatile compound profiles between breeds. Significant differences were observed in drip loss, shear force, cooking loss, and color coordinates between Hu and Tan sheep (

Abstract	Hu sheep, a famous breed in the Taihu Basin, has the advantages of non-seasonal estrus, multiple fetuses, coarse feeding tolerance, and suitability for house feeding. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) were found to be an effective tool to detect the animal population structure and economic traits. The detection of ROHs is beneficial for reducing the incidence of inbreeding as well as identifying harmful variants in the genome. However, there is a lack of systemic reports on ruminants in previous studies of ROHs. Here, we sequenced 108 Hu sheep, detected ROHs in Hu sheep to calculate their inbreeding coefficient, and selected genes of Hu sheep breeds within the ROH islands which are relevant to agricultural economic characteristics. Then, we compared the characteristics of the occurrences of SNPs between Hu sheep and other sheep breeds, and also investigated the distribution of the frequencies of SNPs within specific gene regions of Hu sheep breeds to select their breed-specific genes. Furthermore, we performed a comparative genome and transcriptome analysis in human and sheep breeds to identify important reproduction-related genes. In this way, we found some significant SNPs, and mapped these with a set of interesting candidate genes which are related to the productive value of livestock (

Abstract	Feed efficiency (FE), an important economic trait in sheep production, is indirectly assessed by residual feed intake (RFI). However, RFI in sheep is varied, and the molecular processes that regulate RFI are unclear. It is thus vital to investigate the molecular mechanism of RFI to developing a feed-efficient sheep. The miRNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) was utilized to investigate miRNAs in liver tissue of 6 out of 137 sheep with extreme RFI phenotypic values. In these animals, as a typical metric of FE, RFI was used to distinguish differentially expressed miRNAs (DE_miRNAs) between animals with high (

Abstract	The phenotypic diversity resulting from artificial or natural selection of sheep has made a significant contribution to human civilization. Hu sheep are a local sheep breed unique to China with high reproductive rates and rapid growth. Genome selection signatures have been widely used to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation in livestock. Here, we conduct whole-genome sequencing of 207 Hu sheep and compare them with the wild ancestors of domestic sheep (Asiatic mouflon) to investigate the genetic characteristics and selection signatures of Hu sheep. Based on six signatures of selection approaches, we detect genomic regions containing genes related to reproduction (BMPR1B, BMP2, PGFS, CYP19, CAMK4, GGT5, and GNAQ), vision (ALDH1A2, SAG, and PDE6B), nervous system (NAV1), and immune response (GPR35, SH2B2, PIK3R3, and HRAS). Association analysis with a population of 1299 Hu sheep reveal those missense mutations in the GPR35 (GPR35 g.952651 A>G; GPR35 g.952496 C>T) and NAV1 (NAV1 g.84216190 C>T; NAV1 g.84227412 G>A) genes are significantly associated (P < 0.05) with immune and growth traits in Hu sheep, respectively. This research offers unique insights into the selection characteristics of Hu sheep and facilitates further genetic improvement and molecular investigations.

Abstract	The anterior pituitary plays a critical role in the endocrine system, contains gonadotrophs, which regulate reproductive efficiency by secreting follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). PPP2R2A is a serine-threonine phosphatase that regulates reproductive functions in both females and males, its function in pituitary cells remain unclear. Hu sheep is a highly prolific breed, which makes it suitable for studying reproductive mechanisms. In this study, the relative abundances of PPP2R2A mRNA expression were higher in the pituitary of high-prolificacy (HF) Hu sheep compared to those of low-prolificacy (LF) Hu sheep. Additionally, we demonstrated that PPP2R2A promotes pituitary cell proliferation and gonadotropin secretion using the EdU assay and ELISA, respectively. Moreover, it inhibits pituitary cell apoptosis using flow cytometry. Furthermore, PPP2R2A may affect pituitary cell function by regulating the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In summary, our findings suggest that PPP2R2A may play a role in regulating pituitary function and influencing the secretion of gonadotropins.
