This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine outcomes following aortic occlusion with the transthoracic clamp (TTC) versus endoaortic balloon occlusion (EABO) in patients undergoing minimally invasive mitral valve surgery. A subgroup analysis compares TTC to EABO with femoral cannulation separately from EABO with aortic cannulation. We searched Medline and Embase up to December 2018. Two people independently and in duplicate screened title and abstracts, full-text reports, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for non-randomized studies. We identified 1564 reports from which 11 observational studies with 4181 participants met the inclusion criteria. We found no evidence of difference in the risk of postoperative death or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) between the 2 techniques. Evidence for a reduction in aortic dissection with TTC was found: 4 of 1590 for the TTC group vs 19 of 2492 for the EABO group [risk ratio 0.33, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12-0.93; P = 0.04]. There was no difference in aortic cross-clamp (AoX) time between TTC and EABO [mean difference (MD) -5.17 min, 95% CI -12.40 to 2.06; P = 0.16]. TTC was associated with a shorter AoX time compared to EABO with femoral cannulation (MD -9.26 min, 95% CI -17.00 to -1.52; P = 0.02). EABO with aortic cannulation was associated with a shorter AoX time compared to TTC (MD 7.77 min, 95% CI 3.29-12.26; P < 0.001). There was no difference in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time between TTC and EABO with aortic cannulation (MD -4.98 min, 95% CI -14.41 to 4.45; P = 0.3). TTC was associated with a shorter CPB time compared to EABO with femoral cannulation (MD -10.08 min, 95% CI -19.93 to -0.22; P = 0.05). Despite a higher risk of aortic dissection with EABO, the rates of survival and cerebrovascular accident across the 2 techniques are similar in minimally invasive mitral valve surgery.

Oxidative stress (OS) is established as a key factor in the etiology of both male and female infertility, arising from an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the endogenous antioxidant (AOX) defenses. In men, OS adversely affects sperm function by inducing DNA damage, reducing motility, significantly impairing sperm vitality through plasma membrane peroxidation and loss of membrane integrity, and ultimately compromising overall sperm quality. In women, OS is implicated in various reproductive disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and premature ovarian failure, leading to diminished oocyte quality, disrupted folliculogenesis, and poorer reproductive outcomes.

Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) can enhance the ability of recombinant strains to express heterologous proteins under low-oxygen conditions. However, its mechanism of action in the Pichia pastoris expression system remains unclear. In this study, three VHb construction strategies were designed to elucidate the mechanisms by which VHb promotes heterologous protein expression in P.

Article Synopsis
- Terminal oxidase plays an important role in the plant respiratory pathway and helps foxtail millet (a stress-tolerant crop) respond to various environmental stresses.
- The study identified five genes related to terminal oxidase in the foxtail millet genome and found distinct expression profiles in different tissues, particularly under abiotic stress.
- Haplotype analysis showed that some genes are linked and that one haplotype (Hap_2) may enhance cold stress tolerance, suggesting potential targets for future breeding to improve resilience.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how hypoxia (low oxygen levels) impacts the metabolism and antioxidant capacity of a commonly farmed oyster species in China by measuring factors like total antioxidant capacity, glycogen content, and specific enzyme activities under varying oxygen conditions.
- After 6 hours of hypoxia, key metabolic indicators significantly dropped, but after 72 hours, they increased, and reoxygenation for 24 hours helped restore many of the initial levels.
- A transcriptome analysis identified 6097 novel genes and several differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to hypoxia adaptation, providing insights into potential molecular mechanisms that help these oysters survive low-oxygen environments.

AOX gene family in motion marks in-born efficiency of respiration adjustment; can serve for primer screening, genotype ranking, in vitro-plant discrimination and a SMART perspective for multiple-resilient plant holobiont selection. The bacteria Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a climate-dependent, global threat to many crops of high socio-economic value, including grapevine. Currently designed breeding strategies for Xf-tolerant or -resistant genotypes insufficiently address the danger of biodiversity loss by focusing on selected threats, neglecting future environmental conditions.
