The current study aimed to determine the effects of different levels of fermented Juncao grass (FG) on growth parameters, blood constituents, immunity, and antioxidative properties of broilers. A total of 240 (21-d-old) broiler chicks were randomly distributed to four dietary treatments of sixty birds, with six replicate pens and ten birds in each. Fermented grass was added to the basal diet at four levels with 0, 5, 10, and 15% FG.

Background: Both hypoplastic left heart syndrome and ventriculo-coronary communication are extremely rare congenital cardiac conditions.

Case: The diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome combined with endocardial fibroelastosis and ventriculo-coronary communication was made in a pregnant woman at 24 weeks of gestation. Interestingly, unlike diastolic flow from the coronary artery to the left ventricle in typical ventriculo-coronary communication, this fetus showed a systolic flow from the left ventricle to the coronary artery.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates whether multifocal lung squamous cell carcinomas (LSCCs) represent separate primary cancers or spread from one tumor using whole exome sequencing (WES) and morphologic assessments.
  • The analysis involved 20 tumor pairs, revealing that 11 cases were classified as separate primary lung cancers (SPLCs) while 7 were classified as intrapulmonary metastases (IPMs), highlighting significant genomic and immunogenic differences.
  • The results showed poor agreement (58.3%) between histological evaluations by pathologists and WES findings, suggesting that relying solely on morphologic assessments for staging multifocal LSCCs is unreliable and that genomic analyses should be prioritized.

Objectives: In IgG4-related disease, the relationship between pathological findings and relapse has not been well established. This study aimed to identify the clinical and pathological predictors of disease relapse in IgG4-RD.

Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed IgG4-RD (n = 71) were enrolled between January 2011 and April 2020; all cases were pathologically confirmed.

Objective: To investigate the effect of manipulation treatment on knee osteoarthritis rats and the effect on Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK)/LIM-kinase1 (LIMK1)/Cofilin signaling pathway.

Method: Fifty Specific pathogen Free Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups ( = 8 each): blank group, model group, manipulation group, celecoxib group, and manipulation combined with celecoxib group (MC group). The osteoarthritis model was established by injecting 0.
