Analysis of earlier, similar recombinations suggests that both the S gene structures may be particularly mobile, willingly switching between different gammacoronavirus genomic backbones. The identified recombinant caused a severe course of the disease, which may imply that it is in the first phase of breaking the barriers between different bird species.Lipid oxidation is the main cause of quality deterioration in meat and meat products. To facilitate the identification of candidate molecular biomarkers that are linked to lipid oxidation, we performed the proteomic analysis of duck muscle using isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), followed by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) to confirm the iTRAQ results. Pectoralis major muscles were divided into 2 groups in accordance with lipid oxidation, and iTRAQ-based analysis identified a total of 301 differentially expressed proteins, of which 15 proteins were examined by PRM assay. Proteins involved in lipid binding and metabolism, lipolysis, stress response, oxidative respiratory chain, and redox regulation were found to be differentially expressed between 2 groups and might affect lipid oxidation in muscles. The findings could contribute to the improved understanding of key proteins and processes engaged in lipid oxidation of meat.A dose-response experiment assessing 6 total dietary vitamin A (VA) levels (0, 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, 12,000, and 15,000 IU/kg) was conducted to study the effects of different levels of VA on growth performance and bone indexes of 0 to 28 d goslings. A total of 360 healthy 1-day-old goslings with similar body weights were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 replicates in each group and 10 goslings in each replicate. The experiment duration was 28 d. The experimental results showed that the VA content in the serum and liver of gosling increased with increasing VA amount (P less then 0.05). When the diet was supplemented with 9,000 IU/kg VA, the content of vitamin D in serum and the liver was higher than those in other groups (P less then 0.05). The 28-day body weight and average daily gain in gosling in the 9,000 IU/kg VA group were higher than those in the 0, 3,000 and 15,000 IU/kg VA groups (P less then 0.05). Growth hormone, thyroxine, and parathyroid hormone levels in the 9,000 IU/kg VA group were higher than those in the 0, 3,000, 6,000 and 15,000 IU/kg VA groups (P less then 0.05). The insulin level in the 9,000 IU/kg VA group was higher than those in the other groups (P less then 0.05). The osteocalcin (BGP) levels in the VA supplementation groups were higher than that in the no VA groups (P less then 0.05). The tibia length and phosphorus content in the 9,000 IU/kg VA group were higher than those in the 12,000 IU/kg VA group and 15,000 IU/kg VA group (P less then 0.05). The tibia shear hardness values in the 6,000, 9,000 and 12,000 IU/kg VA groups were higher than those in the 0, 3,000 and 15,000 IU/kg VA groups (P less then 0.05). The tibia calcium content in the 9,000 IU/kg VA group was higher than those in the 0 and 15,000 IU/kg VA groups (P less then 0.05). The tibia crude ash content in the 9,000 IU/kg VA group was higher than that in the 15,000 IU/kg VA group (P less then 0.05). In conclusion, the optimum dietary VA supplementation for 0- to 8 day gosling was 9,000 IU/kg.Significant improvements in genetics, nutrition, and food efficiency have had a great impact on the rapid growth of broilers, notably with increases in muscle mass. However, with rapid growth, the broiler industry has been negatively impacted by the increased incidence of myopathies, including white striping. White striping affects the pectoralis major muscle of broilers, particularly the larger breasts of rapidly growing modern commercial broiler lines. In this study, we documented the growth process of commercial broiler chickens from hatching to market weight at 6 wk. Gross pathology and histopathology analyses were performed on pectoralis major muscle collected weekly from birds culled from 1 to 6 wk. The severity of both gross and histologic pathologies in the breast muscle increased over time. White striping was initially observed at week 2, with a rise in the incidence and severity through the sixth week. Mild histopathology was noted in week 2, characterized by macrophage infiltration and limited phagocytosis of the muscle. Muscle condition deteriorated with age and weight gain, with more prevalent macrophages, phagocytosis, and interstitial fibroblasts. By week 5 and 6, there was severe myopathy including regions of obliterated muscle tissue. Linear regression models show a positive correlation between white striping, gross pathology, and histopathology relative to weight and age.

Norepinephrine has both central and peripheral origins and is known to influence cognitive processes in attention, learning, and working memory, but the research regarding the impact of norepinephrine on cognition in schizophrenia remains sparse, and mainly focuses on centrally regulated noradrenergic effects. This study examined the relationship between cumulative overnight norepinephrine levels in the urine and working memory in patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls.

Urinary catecholamines were collected overnight in patients with schizophrenia (n=75) and healthy controls (n=33). Working memory was assessed using the digit sequencing task.

Patients showed significantly higher average levels of overnight norepinephrine (t(103.10)=-3.16, p=0.002) and reduced working memory performance (t(90)=3.87, p=0.001) compared with healthy individuals. There was a significant negative correlation between norepinephrine and working memory in patients (r=-0.38, p=0.005), but not in controls (r=0.08, p=0.67sually does not pass through the blood-brain barrier, the potential effect of peripheral cumulative norepinephrine on working memory is intriguing, and needs to be further investigated.

COVID-19 peritraumatic distress (CPD), an emerging trauma-related psychopathology, involves immediate physiological arousal as well as emotional and cognitive responses to the threat of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study examined the prevalence of and temporal changes in CPD, its early and follow-up predictors and the extent to which it was predictive of mental health problems.

The study took a two-wave design approach and was conducted during and 3-4 months after the nationwide lockdown in France. Baseline participants were 1123 (79.5% women; M age=33.82; range 18-80). They completed validated measures assessing CPD, posttraumatic stress (PTS), depression, and anxiety symptoms. Descriptive, correlational, and path model analyses were used.

Both baseline and follow-up groups presented similar psychosocial profiles. Overall, 35.5% (95% Confidence Interval [CI] 32.7-38.4) baseline participants and 17.2% (95% CI 12.6-22.7) follow-up participants developed clinical cases of CPD. The baseline CPD levels predisequences of the pandemic linger.

These longitudinal findings call for clinical efforts in assessment of and intervention in trauma-related distress. These efforts should be put into the predictive role of CPD in subsequent development of PTS symptoms and comorbidities as long as the health, social and economic consequences of the pandemic linger.

Containment, involving separation and restriction of movement of people due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and mitigation, also referred to as lockdown, involving closure of schools, universities and public venues, has had a profound impact on people's lives globally. The study focuses on the effects of containment and mitigation measures, on the behavior of children and youth (CaY) with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The study primary aim was to examine the impact of these urgent measures on the behaviors, communication, sleep, and nutritional status of the CaY. A secondary aim was to explore risk and protective factors on behavior change including sociodemographic variables, living conditions, ASD symptom severity and continuity of interventions.

The study sample consisted of 239 ASD subjects, 2-21 years of age, enrolled in the ELENA cohort in France at Stage 3 confinement and mitigation measures announced on March 16, 2020. A parent informant completed the COVID-19 questionnaire.

Of the domains examined, challenging behaviors, communicative skills and sleep had the greatest impact; in terms of risk and protective factors, subject age, ASD severity, single parenthood, daily living skills, and intervention continuity were most likely to impact behaviors; living conditions were not linked to behavior change.

The findings highlight the topography of behavioral change in CaY with ASD following institution of containment and mitigation measures during the COVID-19 pandemic and help identify risk and protective factors to help better address needs and tailor interventions in the future.

Lateral hinge fractures are common complications in the medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy for treatment of knee osteoarthritis. The rehabilitation protocols are decided depending on the remaining stability following these fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical properties of different types of lateral hinge fractures in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy.

Twenty synthetic tibia models were used as test samples. A 10-mm bone wedge was removed from the medial side of the proximal tibias to create the bone defect. The samples were then divided into 4 groups (1) intact lateral hinge; (2) Takeuchi type I fractures; (3) type II fractures; and (4) type III fractures. After fixation with a locking plate, the stability parameters including construct stiffness, wedge displacement, and construct strength were tested under compressive forces and compared among the 4 groups.

No statistical difference was found in the construct stiffness among the 4 groups (P=0.78). The type III fractures had the largest wedge displacement compared with the other 3 groups. The failure loads on average were significantly reduced in the type III fractures compared with those with intact hinge (P<0.01) and in type I fractures (P=0.04). No statistical difference was observed between the type I fractures and the intact hinge in terms of wedge displacement or failure loads.

The type III fractures were the most unstable and patients with these fractures should be managed cautiously. Delayed weightbearing and/or additional fixation should be considered.

The present study aimed to elucidate the effects of heel lifts on spinal alignment, walking, and foot pressure pattern in elderly individuals with spinal kyphosis.

The spinal alignment, walking speed, step length and foot pressure of 33 community-dwelling elderly individuals with spinal kyphosis (3 men, 30 women; mean age 77.3years) were examined before and after the application of 10-mm moderately elastic heel lifts.

Spinal alignment of total inclination (mean value 6.9°vs 4.5°) and thoracic angle (43.6°vs 36.2°) were significantly lower after the application of heel lifts than before the application. The lumbar angle (7.3°vs 10.0°) was significantly higher after the application than before the application. Walking speed (0.78 vs 0.88m/s) and step length (0.42m vs 0.45m) were significantly higher after the application. The partial foot pressure as a percentage of body weight of the hallux (6.7% vs 9.0%) and lateral toes (6.5% vs 9.0%) was significantly higher after the application of heel lifts than before the application.
