    Abstract Melatonin, the antioxidant pineal hormone, is a strong regulator for various cellular processes essential for reproduction. Although the protective role of 0.1µM melatonin against the toxicity of different anti-developmental compounds has been elucidated in numerous studies, its effect on the autophagy level in invitro-produced blastocysts has not been entirely clarified. In this study, oocytes were incubated for 24h in the presence and absence of melatonin, administered during IVM, to investigate the effect of 0.1µM melatonin on the developmental competence of bovine oocytes and pre-implantation embryos, autophagy, and quality of embryos. The developmental potential of embryos were basically the stages from oocytes fertilization to blastocyst production. Gene expression levels were evaluated in matured oocytes, whereas blastocysts were used for immunofluorescence experiments. The differences between treated and control groups were analysed using Student’s t-test (GraphPad Prism version 6; GraphPad Inc.), where P-values <0.05 were considered significant. Results showed that oocyte maturation, Day-4 total cleavage, and Day-8 blastocyst development rates were not significantly improved (melatonin: 72±2 vs. control: 69±2 for cleavage rate, and melatonin: 33±1 vs. control: 31±2 for control for Day-8 blastocyst; P>0.05), whereas the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was reduced (P<0.05) with addition of melatonin. Using RT-qPCR, cumulus cells-related (HAS2) and apoptosis-related (Bcl2 and SOD2) genes were upregulated, whereas BAX was downregulated in melatonin-treated oocytes. Using immunofluorescence, apoptosis (caspase-3) and autophagy (Beclin-1 and LC3) markers were underexpressed, whereas the PI3K survival protein (P<0.05) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9; P>0.05) were overexpressed, in Day-8 embryos of melatonin-treatment. Additionally, the total number of cells per blastocysts, inspected via nuclei-based 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining was higher in the melatonin-treated group (P<0.05). Taken together, our study demonstrates that 0.1µ

    Abstract Lead attenuation characteristic curves are often consulted in premises radiation shielding assessments employing the non-destructive testing (NDT) method. This study developed lead attenuation characteristics mathematical models for the radionuclide Co-57. These models take into account the statistical variation of the attenuation characteristics. The results are a set of equations that a NDT assessor can use to predict the range of transmission factors for the NDT measurement or, using the inverse functions, to gauge the lead equivalence (with the associated uncertainty) of a radiation barrier. This study showed that the combined effect of types of statistical variations can form an uncertainty region on the transmission characteristics such that the relative uncertainty decreases for values of lead mass per unit area up to approximately 20 kg/m2 and 15 kg/m2 for the Ludlum 18 and Ludlum 2241-2 survey meters respectively but thereafter increases.

    Abstract Intensive care is expensive, and the numbers of intensive care unit (ICU) beds and trained specialist medical staff able to provide services in Hong Kong are limited. The most recent increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infections over July to August 2020 resulted in more than 100 new cases per day for a prolonged period. The increased numbers of critically ill patients requiring ICU admission posed a capacity challenge to ICUs across the territory, and it may be reasonably anticipated that should a substantially larger outbreak occur, ICU services will be overwhelmed. Therefore, a transparent and fair prioritisation process for decisions regarding patient ICU admission is urgently required. This triage tool is built on the foundation of the existing guidelines and framework for admission, discharge, and triage that inform routine clinical practice in Hospital Authority ICUs, with the aim of achieving the greatest benefit for the greatest number of patients from the available ICU resources. This COVID-19 Crisis Triage Tool is expected to provide structured guidance to frontline doctors on how to make triage decisions should ICU resources become overwhelmed by patients requiring ICU care, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The triage tool takes the form of a detailed decision aid algorithm based on a combination of established prognostic scores, and it should increase objectivity and transparency in triage decision making and enhance decision-making consistency between doctors within and across ICUs in Hong Kong. However, it remains an aid rather than a complete substitute for the carefully considered judgement of an experienced intensive care clinician.
