    Abstract Introduction: The pro-inflammatory cytokine interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is reported to be an agent that boosts the immune modulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, the effects of IFN-γ on the chondrogenic potential of treated MSCs have not been evaluated in depth. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of IFN-γ on the immune modulation and chondrogenic potential of human umbilical cord-derived MSCs (hUC-MSCs).
    Methods: UC-MSCs were isolated and expanded following published protocols. They were characterized as MSCs before their use in further experiments. The UC-MSCs were treated with IFN-γ at 10 ng/mL for 48 h. Changes in phenotype were investigated based on changes in MSC markers, immunomodulatory genes (TGF-β, IL-4, and IDO) for immune modulation, and cartilage-related genes during the induction of differentiation (Col1a2, Col2a1, Sox9, Runx2, and Acan) for chondrogenic potential.
    Results: IFN-γ-treated UC-MSCs maintained MSC markers and exhibited decreased expression of transcriptional regulatory factors in chondrogenesis (Sox9 and Runx2) and the extracellular matrix-specific genes Col1a2 and Acan but not Col2a1 compared to non-treated cells (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the immunomodulatory capability of IFN-γ-treated UC-MSCs was clearly revealed through their increased expression of IDO and IL-4 and decreased expression of TGF-β compared to non-treated cells (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: This study demonstrated that UC-MSCs treated with IFN-γ at 10 ng/mL had reduced expression of chondrocyte-specific genes; however, they maintained multi-lineage differentiation and exhibited immunomodulatory properties.

    Abstract Background: The effects of incidental radiation exposure on internal mammary arteries remain unclear. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis by comparing diameter and blood flow of the irradiated and nonirradiated internal mammary arteries, using Duplex ultrasound imaging.
    Methods: The study was designed as a single-center, transversal, comparative study. The main outcomes were diameter and volumetric blood flow of the internal mammary arteries. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to assess the differences between the irradiated and nonirradiated internal mammary arteries with regard to the diameter and volumetric blood flow.
    Results: The diameter (median [interquartile range]) of the irradiated internal mammary arteries (0.170 mm [0.160, 0.180]) was smaller than that of the contralateral nonirradiated ones (0.180 mm [0.170, 0.200], P < 0.0001) and that of the internal mammary arteries in the control group (0.180 mm [0.170, 0.190], P < 0.0001). Similarly, blood flow (median [interquartile range]) of the irradiated internal mammary arteries (52.4 ml/min [37.78, 65.57]) was smaller than that of the contralateral nonirradiated ones (62.7 ml/min [46.87, 84.17], P < 0.0001), as well as of the left (56.7 ml/min [46.88, 72.58], P = 0.02) and the right internal mammary arteries in the control group (61.0 ml/min [47.47, 74.52], P = 0 0.0009).
    Conclusions: The data indicate that the irradiated internal mammary arteries in patients with a history of total mastectomy followed by radiotherapy for breast cancer had significantly smaller diameter and blood flow compared to the nonirradiated internal mammary arteries.

    Abstract Learning processes by exploiting restricted domain knowledge is an important task across a plethora of scientific areas, with more and more hybrid methods combining data-driven and model-based approaches. However, while such hybrid methods have been tested in various scientific applications, they have been mostly tested on dynamical systems, with only limited study about the influence of each model component on global performance and parameter identification. In this work, we assess the performance of hybrid modeling against traditional machine learning methods on standard regression problems. We compare, on both synthetic and real regression problems, several approaches for training such hybrid models. We focus on hybrid methods that additively combine a parametric physical term with a machine learning term and investigate model-agnostic training procedures. We also introduce a new hybrid approach based on partial dependence functions. Experiments are carried out with different types of machine learning models, including tree-based models and artificial neural networks.

    Abstract This study presents mitigation strategies for reducing carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination levels in grilled meat using high-temperature refined charcoal (HTC) prepared by Iwate kiln, also known as high-quality charcoal. Four different types of HTC were investigated for their properties in conjunction with their potential to reduce PAHs in grilled meat, including high-temperature Eucalyptus charcoal (HTEC), Leucaena charcoal (HTLC), Acacia charcoal (HTAC), and bamboo charcoal (HTBC). The results showed that all HTCs had higher fixed carbon, higher heating value, and lower volatile compounds (83.07-87.81%, 7,306-7,765 Kcal/g, and 6.98-11.97%, respectively) than commercial low-temperature refined charcoal (LTC) (65.33%, 6,728 Kcal/g, and 22.22%, respectively). The current high fixed carbon content and heating value responded to the rising maximum temperature of charcoal up to 500-600°C, providing heat source stabilization to control the radiant energy exposure of charcoal during grilling, thereby shortening grilling time. The PAH16 value of the LTC-grilled sample (144.41 μg/kg) was significantly higher than that of the HTEC, HTLC, and HTAC-grilled samples (98.21, 80.75, and 79.56 μg/kg, respectively). However, PAH16 levels in the sample grilled with HTBC were unexpectedly high (265.75 μg/kg), and cooking loss was not significantly different between samples grilled with all charcoals. Overall, the findings indicated that using HTC prepared from Eucalyptus, Leucaena, and Acacia woods could reduce PAH contamination in grilled pork by up to 45%. However, more research is needed to determine the best preparation method for high-quality charcoal made from bamboo.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to perform a market survey on dry pet foods using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect total aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), and deoxynivalenol (DON). Pet food products (n = 58) marketed for dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits were tested in duplicate with ELISA, and results above the limit of quantitation were confirmed using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). OTA was detected in one product (rabbit food) and AFs were detected in two products (one dog treat and one bird treat). In contrast, DON was detected in the majority (74%) of products tested. Bird and rabbit products were the most affected by DON, with levels above 0.5 μg/g in 50 and 80% of samples, respectively. One rabbit sample tested positive for both OTA and DON. Overall, the findings of this study revealed a low incidence of AFs and OTA in commercial pet food. Although DON was detected in numerous products, the levels were well below those associated with acute toxic effects.

    Abstract Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a toxic fungal metabolite associated with human and animal diseases, is a natural contaminant encountered in agricultural commodities, food and feed. Heterogeneity of AFB1 makes risk estimation a challenge. To overcome this, novel sample selection, preparation and extraction steps were designed for representative sampling of chicken feed. Accuracy, precision, limits of detection and quantification, linearity, robustness and ruggedness were used as performance criteria to validate this modification and Horwitz function for evaluating precision. A modified sampling protocol that ensured representativeness is documented, including sample selection, sampling tools, random procedures, minimum size of field-collected aggregate samples (primary sampling), procedures for mass reduction to 2 kg laboratory (secondary sampling), 25 g test portion (tertiary sampling) and 1.3 g analytical samples (quaternary sampling). The improved coning and quartering procedure described herein (for secondary and tertiary sampling) has acceptable precision, with a Horwitz ratio (HorRat = 0.3) suitable for splitting of 25 g feed aliquots from laboratory samples (tertiary sampling). The water slurring innovation (quaternary sampling) increased aflatoxin extraction efficiency to 95.1% through reduction of both bias (−4.95) and variability of recovery (1.2–1.4) and improved both intra-laboratory precision (HorRat = 1.2–1.5) and within-laboratory reproducibility (HorRat = 0.9–1.3). Optimal extraction conditions are documented. The improved procedure showed satisfactory performance, good field applicability and reduced sample analysis turnaround time.
