    Abstract Today, even though minimally invasive approaches have become standard worldwide, large uteri are still mainly removed by means of open abdominal approaches. The present case describes the successful removal of the largest uterus ever reported (4065 g) by means of laparoscopy-assisted supracervical hysterectomy (LASH). We combined LASH with the changeover technique which allows a better access and view. We further explain how this approach allows for the safe minimally invasive removal of uteri of any size.

    Abstract: ... of environmental stages in the nematode life cycle and an increasing number of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs ...

    Abstract Free-living nematodes respond to variable and unpredictable environmental stimuli whereas parasitic nematodes exist in a more stable host environment. A positive correlation between the presence of environmental stages in the nematode life cycle and an increasing number of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) reflects this difference in free-living and parasitic lifestyles. As hookworm larvae move from the external environment into a host, they detect uncharacterized host components, initiating a signalling cascade that results in the resumption of development and eventual maturation. Previous studies suggest this process is mediated by GPCRs in amphidial neurons. Here we set out to uncover candidate GPCRs required by a hookworm to recognise its host. First, we identified all potential Ancylostoma ceylanicum GPCRs encoded in the genome. We then used life cycle stage-specific RNA-seq data to identify differentially expressed GPCRs between the free-living infective L3 (iL3) and subsequent parasitic stages to identify receptors involved in the transition to parasitism. We reasoned that GPCRs involved in host recognition and developmental activation would be expressed at higher levels in the environmental iL3 stage than in subsequent stages. Our results support the model that a decrease in GPCR diversity occurs as the larvae develop from the free-living iL3 stage to the parasitic L3 (pL3) in the host over 24-72 h. We find that overall GPCR expression and diversity is highest in the iL3 compared with subsequent parasitic stages. By 72 h, there was an approximately 50% decrease in GPCR richness associated with the moult from the pL3 to the L4. Taken together, our data uncover a negative correlation between GPCR diversity and parasitic development in hookworm. Finally, we demonstrate proof of principal that Caenorhabditis elegans can be used as a heterologous system to examine the expression pattern of candidate host signal chemoreceptors (CRs) from hookworm. We observe expression of candidate host signal CRs in C. elegans, demonstrating that C. elegans can be effectively used as a surrogate to identify expressed hookworm genes. We present several preliminary examples of this strategy and confirm a candidate CR as neuronally expressed.

    Abstract Myostatin (MSTN) gene acts as a negative regulator of muscle growth. The aim of the present study was to identify polymorphism of g.-371T>A in promoter region of MSTN gene in Indonesian beef cattle. Blood samples were collected from 191 cattle, including Bali (BL) (42), Madura (MD) (20), Pesisir (PI) (17), Katingan (KT) (16), Ongole grade (PO) (22), Pasundan (PD) (14), Sumba ongole (SO) (10), Brahman (BH) (17), Simmental (SM) (15), and Limousin (LM) (18). Polymorphism of MSTN gene was analyzed using PCR-RFLP (DraI) and direct sequencing methods. Results of genotyping g-371T>A were polymorphic (TT, TA, and AA genotypes) in Simmental, SO, and Katingan. The frequencies of alleles T and A were 0.83; 0.90; 0.97 and 0.17; 0.10; 0.03 respectively. The values of Ho and He were 0.06–0.20 and 0.06–0.28, respectively. The results of this study are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P> 0.05). Whereas in PD, MD, PI, PO, BH, LM, and BL were monomorphic (TT genotype). The result of sequencing the promoter region of MSTN gene found that mutations transversion was occurred in T to A at g.-371. It was concluded that g.-371T>A of MSTN gene was polymorphic which was potential to be used as genetic markers of muscle growth in SM, SO, and KT cattle.

  5. Article: Analysis of the impact of determinants of kosherness on the content of macro‐ and microelements in beef

    Abstract: ... significant impact of the interaction effects between the analyzed factors (S × G, S × M, G × M, and S × G × M ...

    Abstract There are no studies in the literature that comprehensively present the impact of factors related only to kosher slaughter on the content of minerals in beef. Therefore, learning the impact of such kosher determinants of beef as follows: no stunning during slaughter, cattle category, muscle, or the so‐called kosher treatment for mineral content in beef has an original character. In this connection, the aim of the research was a comprehensive analysis of the impact of kosher determinants (slaughter type, muscle, cattle category, and technological treatment) on the content of selected macro‐ and microelements in beef. On the content of minerals in muscles obtained from beef carcasses, the statistically significant (p < .05) impact was found in the case of slaughter type for such elements as: K, P, and Na. Higher content of phosphorus, potassium, and sodium was found in muscles of heifers and bulls from standard slaughter, compared with the amount of these elements determined in muscles of cattle from kosher slaughter. In turn, statistically significant (p < .05) impact of cattle sex was confirmed only in the case of iron and molybdenum content in beef. Higher amounts of these elements were determined in muscle from heifer carcasses (excluding the molybdenum content in MLT muscle of heifer carcasses from kosher slaughter). The process of koshering (soaking in brine) causes approximately 10‐fold increase in the amount of sodium in beef, regardless of the muscle or gender of cattle. The statistically significant impact of muscle was confirmed only in the case of zinc content. In the authors’ own research, there was found no statistically significant impact of the interaction effects between the analyzed factors (S × G, S × M, G × M, and S × G × M) on the content of particular mineral components.

    Abstract Unlabelled: The propositus presented with hypotonia, respiratory failure, and seizures in the newborn period and was found to have severe hyperlactacidemia and a hypertrophic heart. He carried a de novo pathogenic mutation (m.8993 T>G) in the gene encoding subunit 6 of the mitochondrial ATP synthase (MTATP6). Although the lactate concentration in serum normalized and the proband recovered after a short period at the neonatal intensive care unit, his ultimate motor and cognitive development was poor. Brain MRI at the age of 6 months showed bilaterally signal abnormalities in the caudate nucleus, putamen, thalamus, and mesencephalon. He died at the age of 9 months. The difficulty in genetic counseling in families with a maternal mitochondrial mutation disorder is emphasized.
    Conclusion: Here, we report on a neonate with the m.8993 T>G mutation and emphasize implications of mtDNA disorders on family planning decisions.
