    Abstract With a rich breeding history, Nanyang cattle (NY cattle) have undergone extensive natural and artificial selection, resulting in distinctive traits such as high fertility, excellent meat quality, and disease resistance. This makes them an ideal model for studying the mechanisms of environmental adaptability. To assess the population structure and genetic diversity of NY cattle, we performed whole-genome resequencing on 30 individuals. These data were then compared with published whole-genome resequencing data from 432 cattle globally. The results indicate that the genetic structure of NY cattle is significantly different from European commercial breeds and is more similar to North-Central Chinese breeds. Furthermore, among all breeds, NY cattle exhibit the highest genetic diversity and the lowest population inbreeding levels. A genome-wide selection signal analysis of NY cattle and European commercial breeds using Fst, θπ-ratio, and θπ methods revealed significant selection signals in genes associated with reproductive performance and immunity. Our functional annotation analysis suggests that these genes may be responsible for reproduction (

    Abstract Mammalian muscle development is regulated by complex gene networks at the molecular level. The revelation of gene regulatory mechanisms is an important basis for the study of muscle development and molecular breeding. To analyze the excellent meat performance of Pinan cattle at the molecular level, we performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to analyze the key regulatory genes that determine the muscle quality traits in Pinan cattle (n = 3) and Nanyang cattle (n = 3). We identified 57 differentially expressed genes in muscle tissue of Pinan cattle compared to that of Nanyang cattle, including 32 upregulated and 25 downregulated genes. GO enrichment analysis showed that these genes were significantly enriched in 'molecular function', including voltage-gated ion channel activity, calcium channel activity and calcium ion binding, and KEGG pathway analysis results revealed that adrenergic signaling in cardio myocytes, cell adhesion molecules and inositol phosphate metabolism pathway were significantly enriched. We identified the reliability of RNA-Seq data through RT-qPCR. Meanwhile, we found that GSTA3, PLCB1 and ISYNA1 genes are highly expressed in muscle tissue of Pinan cattle, and these genes play important roles in PI3K/Akt, MEK1/2-ERK and p53-ISYNA1 signaling pathway. In summary, our results suggested that these differentially expressed genes may play important roles in muscle development in Pinan cattle. However, the functions and mechanism of these significantly differential expressed genes should be investigated in future studies.

    Abstract There is increasing concern regarding the toxicological effects of plastic additives on humans and aquatic organisms. This study investigated effects of the plastic additive tris(butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBEP) on Cyprinus carpio by measuring concentration distribution of TBEP in the Nanyang Lake estuary, as well as toxic effects of varying doses of TBEP exposure on carp liver. This also included measuring responses of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease (caspase). Concentrations of TBEP in the polluted water environment (water company inlets, urban sewage pipes, etc.) in the survey area were as high as 76.17-3875.29 μg/L, and 3.12 μg/L in the river flowing through the urban area, and 1.18 μg/L in the estuary of the lake. In the subacute toxicity test, SOD activity in liver tissue with an increase in TBEP concentration was reduced significantly, while the MDA content continued to increase with an increase in TBEP concentration. Inflammatory response factors (TNF-α and IL-1β) and apoptotic proteins (caspase-3 and caspase-9) gradually increased with increasing concentrations of TBEP. Additionally, reduced organelles, increased lipid droplets, swelling of mitochondria, and disorder of mitochondrial cristae structure were observed in liver cells of TBEP-treated carp. Generally, TBEP exposure induced severe oxidative stress in carp liver tissue, resulting in release of inflammatory factors and inflammatory response, mitochondrial structure changes, and the expression of apoptotic proteins. These findings benefit our understanding about the toxicological effects of TBEP in aquatic pollution.

    Abstract As the domestic interprovincial migrants, Uygur traders have been engaged in the Hetian jade trade from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region to the city of Nanyang in Henan Province. Having lived in the private rented houses around the market in the early days, they moved into the government-built public rental housing in 2017, an independently managed community. They have maintained their past residential pattern of living around the market, and gradually develop the community into an inter-embedded multi-ethnic community together with other ethnic groups. Through the history of the formation of the Uygur community in Nanyang Stone Town, this paper presents the process of interaction between the ethnic minority migrants and the local community, examines the responses and influence of the market, society, government, and individuals in this process, aiming to understand how the minority community was formed, to deepen understanding of the "inter-embedded multi-ethnic community", and, in turn, to promote research and reflection on the development of the ethnic community during urbanization in China. This study suggests that such communities surrounding the market are socially extended based on inter-embedded livelihood. The open national market is the core of the social structure of inter-embedded ethnic groups, and market exchange is one of the main relations generated in the current interactions between the ethnic groups. The government's efforts to build inter-embedded communities are conducive to transforming the relationships among ethnic groups from limited interaction to comprehensive and balanced development. Moreover, the improvement of common living environments and increase in exchanges are conducive to upgrading interactions between individuals to extensive and in-depth exchanges among different ethnic groups.

    Abstract Cyberchondria is considered "the anxiety-amplifying effects of online health-related searches." During the COVID-19 pandemic, people are likely to search health-related information online for reassurance because of fear and related physical symptoms, while cyberchondria may be triggered due to the escalation of health anxiety, different online seeking behavior preference, information overload, and insufficient e-health literacy. This study aimed to investigate the status and influencing factors of cyberchondria in residents in China during the epidemic period of COVID-19. The participants were 674 community residents of Nanyang city surveyed from February 1 to 15, 2020. We administered online measures, including the Chinese Short Form of the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (C-CSS-12), Short Health Anxiety Inventory (SHAI), eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS), Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), and COVID-19-related online information seeking behavior questionnaire. In our study, the average C-CSS-12 total score of residents was 30.65 ± 11.53 during the virus epidemic; 25% of participants scored 22 or below, 50% scored 23 to 38, and 21.9% scored 39 to 60.

    Abstract China has experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 since December 2019. This study investigated the differences between the imported and local cases of COVID-19 in Nanyang, China. In this study, a total of 129 COVID-19 confirmed cases with a clear epidemiological history admitted to hospitals in Nanyang from January 24 to February 26, 2020 were enrolled. Patients who had a travel history to or a residence history in Wuhan or in the surrounding areas in Hubei Province within 14 days before the illness onset were assigned to the imported group (n=70), and the others were assigned to the local group (n=59). The differences in epidemiological characteristics, clinical features, laboratory and imaging results, and prognosis were compared between the 2 groups. The early diagnosed cases were mainly imported cases, and the later diagnosed ones were mainly local cases. The most common first symptom was fever; moderate fever was commonly seen in imported cases whereas low fever was commonly seen in local cases. Lymphocyte counts in the imported group were lower than those in the local group. The imported group showed more advanced and severe abnormalities in the CT scan whereas the local group showed milder pulmonary abnormalities. The proportion of severe and critically severe patients in the imported group was higher than that in the local group. In conclusion, the imported cases have more severe or critically severe patients with a higher mortality rate than the local cases.

    Abstract: ... single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5' transcriptional region of CIDEC in Nanyang (NY) cattle, which are located ...

    Abstract Cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector c (CIDEC, also known as Fsp27) has emerged as an important regulator of metabolism associated with lipodystrophy, diabetes, and hepatic steatosis. It is required for unilocular lipid droplet formation and optimal energy storage. The mechanism between this gene and livestock growth traits, however, has yet to be reported. In this study, we found ten novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5' transcriptional region of CIDEC in Nanyang (NY) cattle, which are located in the recognition sequences (potential cis-acting elements) of 22 transcription factors, and the nine haplotypes represent nine different combinations of polymorphic potential cis-acting elements. The results indicated that individuals with the H8-H8 diplotype had heavier body weights and faster growth rates (P < 0.01) at 18th months than those with H1-H8. We evaluated the transcriptional activities of different haplotypes in vitro, the results were consistent with the association analysis. The H8 haplotype had 1.88-fold (P < 0.001) higher transcriptional activity than the H1 haplotype. We speculate that the haplotypes of the potential cis-acting elements may affect the transcriptional activity of CIDEC, thus affecting the growth traits of cattle. This information may be used in molecular marker-assisted selection of cattle breeding in the future.

    Abstract The insulin-induced gene 1 (INSIG1) gene encodes a protein that blocks proteolytic activation of sterol regulatory element binding proteins, which are transcription factors that activate genes that regulate cholesterol, fatty acid, and glucose metabolism. However, similar research for the bovine INSIG1 gene is lacking. Therefore, in this study, polymorphisms of the bovine INSIG1 gene were detected in 643 individuals from four cattle breeds by DNA pooling, forced PCR-RFLP, PCR-SSCP, and DNA sequencing methods. Only 10 novel SNPs were identified, which included four mutations in the coding region and the others in the introns. In Nanyang individuals, seven common haplotypes were identified based on four coding region SNPs. The haplotype GACT, with a frequency of 75.4%, was the most prevalent haplotypes and SNPs formed two linkage disequilibrium blocks with strong multi-allelic D' (D' = 1). Additionally, association analysis between mutations of the bovine INSIG1 gene and growth traits in Nanyang cattle at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months old was performed, and the results indicated that the polymorphisms were not significantly associated with body mass.
