Protein Metabolism and Signal Pathway Regulation in Rumen and Mammary Gland.

Protein is an important yet the most expensive dietary component for farm ruminant animals. Understanding the mechanism behind protein utilization in animals for maintenance and milk production is critical for raising animals efficiently. Once the protein has been ingested, it undergoes various transformations in the gut before it is absorbed into blood and its precursors are harnessed by the mammary gland for milk protein synthesis in lactating animals.

Factor analysis for bleeding in endoscopic sinus surgery and the countermeasures.

This study was designed to define the possible risk factors for bleeding during endoscopic sinus surgery on the basis of a statistical analysis of 635 cases. It was found that the volume of intra-operative bleeding was closely related to the following factors including times of operation, surgical approach, perioperative treatment and the surgical skills on the part of the surgeons.
