    Abstract We demonstrate coupling of an intraprotein electron transfer reaction to coherent vibrational motions. The kinetics of charge separation toward the radical pair state P(+)H(L)(-) were studied in reaction centers of Rhodobacter sphaeroides at 15 K. The electrochromic shift of the bacteriochlorophyll monomers is the most prominent spectral feature associated with this charge displacement. The newly reported absolute absorption spectrum of the P(+)H(L)(-) state is discussed in terms of this shift. In wild-type reaction centers, the rise kinetics of the electrochromic shift display a small but significant 30 cm(-)(1) periodic modulation (period of approximately 1 ps). This modulation is also present in FL181Y mutant reaction centers, where overall charge separation is somewhat more rapid than in the wild-type reaction center. In contrast, in YM210L mutant reaction centers, where the charge separation is much slower, the modulation is absent. The conclusion that the motion along the reaction coordinate has a 30 cm(-)(1) coherent component is discussed in light of possible mechanisms of electron transfer.

    Abstract Determining the optimal insemination moment for individual cows is complex, particularly when considering the impact of pregnancy on milk production. The effect of pregnancy on the absolute milk yield has already been reported in several studies. Currently, there is limited quantitative knowledge about the association between days post conception (DPC) and lactation persistency, based on a lactation curve model, and, specifically, how persistency changes during pregnancy and relates to the days in milk at conception (DIMc). Understanding this association might provide valuable insights to determine the optimal insemination moment. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the association between DPC and lactation persistency, with an additional focus on the influence of DIMc. Available milk production data from 2005 to 2022 were available for 23,908 cows from 87 herds located throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. Persistency was measured by a lactation curve characteristic decay, representing the time taken to halve milk production after peak yield. Decay was calculated for 8 DPC (0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 d after DIMc) and served as the dependent variable. Independent variables included DPC, DIMc (< = 60, 61-90, 91-120, 121-150, 151-180, 181-210, > 210), parity group, DPC × parity group, DPC × DIMc and variables from 30 d before DIMc as covariates. The results showed an increase in decay, i.e., a decrease in persistency, during pregnancy for both parity groups, albeit in different ways. Specifically, from DPC 150 to DPC 210, multiparous cows showed a higher decline in persistency compared with primiparous cows. Furthermore, a later DIMc (cows conceiving later) was associated with higher persistency. Except for the early DIMc groups (DIMc < 90), DIMc does not impact the change in persistency by gestation. The findings from this study contribute to a better understanding of how DPC and DIMc during lactation influence lactation persistency, enabling more informed decision-making by farmers who wish to take persistency into account in their reproduction management.

    Abstract Starch is an important energy source for humans. Starch escaping digestion in the small intestine will transit to the colon to be fermented by gut microbes. Many gut microbes express α-amylases that can degrade soluble starch, but only a few are able to degrade intrinsic resistant starch (RS), which is insoluble and highly resistant to digestion (≥80% RS).

    Abstract Background and objective: Balance and walking capacity are often impaired in people with motor incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI), frequently resulting in reduced functional ambulation and participation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of walking adaptability training compared to similarly dosed conventional locomotor and strength training for improving walking capacity, functional ambulation, balance confidence, and participation in ambulatory people with iSCI.
    Methods: We conducted a 2-center, parallel-group, pragmatic randomized controlled trial. Forty-one people with iSCI were randomized to 6 weeks of (i) walking adaptability training (11 hours of Gait Real-time Analysis Interactive Lab (GRAIL) training-a treadmill in a virtual reality environment) or (ii) conventional locomotor and strength training (11 hours of treadmill training and lower-body strength exercises). The primary measure of walking capacity was maximal walking speed, measured with an overground 2-minute walk test. Secondary outcome measures included the Spinal Cord Injury Functional Ambulation Profile (SCI-FAP), the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale, and the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation-Participation (USER-P).
    Results: No significant difference in maximal walking speed between the walking adaptability (n = 17) and conventional locomotor and strength (n = 18) training groups was found 6 weeks after training at follow-up (-0.05 m/s; 95% CI = -0.12-0.03). In addition, no significant group differences in secondary outcomes were found. However, independent of intervention, significant improvements over time were found for maximal walking speed, SCI-FAP, ABC, and USER-P restrictions scores.

    Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, primarily relying on neutralizing antibodies, have proven highly effective. Recently, HPV-specific antibodies have been detected in the female genital tract secretions captured by first-void urine (FVU), offering a minimally invasive diagnostic approach. In this study, we investigated whether HPV16-specific antibodies present in FVU samples retain their neutralizing capacity by using pseudovirion-based neutralization assays.

    Abstract Study question: Which reproductive treatment outcomes are observed in women who underwent elective oocyte cryopreservation (EOC) and who returned to the clinic with a desire for a child?
    Summary answer: Whether to warm oocytes or to first use fresh own oocytes for ART depends on age upon returning, but both strategies result in favorable reproductive outcomes.
    What is known already: Most affluent countries have observed a trend toward postponement of childbearing, and EOC is increasingly used based on the assumption that oocytes cryopreserved at a younger age may extend a woman's reproductive lifespan and mitigate her age-related fertility decline. Although most follow-up studies after EOC have focused on women who requested oocyte warming, a substantial proportion of women who do not conceive naturally will embark on fertility treatment without using their cryopreserved oocytes. Reports on reproductive outcomes in past EOC users are scarce, and the lack of reproductive treatment algorithms in this group of women hampers counseling toward the most efficient clinical strategy.
    Study design, size, duration: This retrospective observational single-center study encompasses 843 women who had elective oocyte vitrification between 2009 and 2019 at our fertility clinic. Women who underwent fertility preservation for medical or oncological reasons were excluded. This study describes the outcomes of the diverse reproductive treatment strategies performed until May 2022 in women returning to our clinic to attempt motherhood.
    Participants/materials, setting, methods: Using descriptive statistics, patient characteristics and data of ovarian stimulation (OS) of EOC cycles were analyzed, as well as data related to OS and laboratory data of ART in women who pursued fertility treatment with and/or without using their cryopreserved oocytes. The primary outcome was live birth rate (LBR) per patient after oocyte warming and after ART using fresh oocytes. Secondary outcomes were return rate, utilization rate of the cryopreserved oocytes, laboratory outcomes upon return, and LBR per embryo transfer. A multivariable regression model was developed to identify factors associated with the decision to thaw oocytes as the primary strategy and factors associated with ongoing pregnancy upon return to the clinic.
    Main results and the role of chance: A total of 1353 EOC cycles (mean ± SD, 1.6 ± 0.9 per patient) were performed. At the time of EOC, the mean age was 36.5 ± 2.8 years, mean anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was 2.3 ± 2.0 ng/ml, and 174 (20.6%) women had a partner. On average, 13.9 ± 9.2 mature oocytes were cryopreserved. Two hundred thirty-one (27.4%) women returned to the clinic, an average of 39.9 ± 23.4 months after EOC. Upon returning, their mean age was 40.4 ± 3.1 years, mean AMH was 1.5 ± 1.5 ng/ml, and 158/231 (68.3%) patients had a partner. As a primary approach, 110/231 (47.6%) past EOC users embarked on oocyte warming, 50/231 (21.6%) had intrauterine insemination, and 71/231 (30.7%) had ART using fresh own oocytes. Cumulative LBR (CLBR) was 45.9% (106/231) notwithstanding a miscarriage rate (MR) of 30.7% (51/166) in the entire cohort. In total, 141 women performed oocyte warming at some stage in their treatment trajectory. A subset of 90/231 (39.0%) patients exclusively had oocyte warming (41.6 ± 3.0 years, with 10.0 ± 5.2 oocytes warmed per patient). 52/231 (22.5%) patients exclusively had ART using fresh own oocytes (mean age of 39.0 ± 2.8 years, with 9.9 ± 7.4 mature oocytes retrieved per patient). CLBR was 37/90 (41.1%) in the oocyte warming-only group and 25/52 (48.1%) in the OS-only group. MR/transfer was 25.0% and 29.3% in the oocyte warming-only group and the OS-only group, respectively.
    Limitations, reasons for caution: Both sample size and the retrospective design are limitations of this study. The decision to embark on a specific reproductive treatment strategy was based on patient preference, after counseling on their treatment options. This precludes direct comparison of the efficiency of reproductive treatment options in past EOC users in this study.
    Wider implications of the findings: Reporting on clinical outcomes of women who underwent EOC and returned to the clinic to embark on divergent reproductive treatment strategies is mandatory to establish guidelines for best clinical practice in this growing patient population.
