Using the model of in vitro perfusion of the isolated rabbit ovary, in which follicular ruptures can be observed, in this paper we report on the photographic and cinematographic recording of the gross anatomy of ovulation. The observed sequence of events and their timing were very similar to that which has been reported for ovulation observed in vivo. In addition, the use of infrared film made it possible to visualize intrafollicular events prior to rupture.

Objective: To present a young girl with pyruvate kinase deficiency (PKD) and concurrent severe hemolytic anemia who underwent fertility preservation and cryopreservation. Clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and new strategies for fertility protection and preservation in PKD patients who require allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell therapy are explored.
Case Presentation: Six-year-old girl with persistent unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia and severe hemolytic anemia since birth, continuous elevation of bilirubin levels and severe splenomegaly.

Background/objectives: Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a cell-surface glycoprotein serving as a drug target, diagnostic marker, and serum marker for cancer monitoring. However, prevalence data on CEA expression in cancer tissues vary considerably. This study was designed to determine CEA expression in normal and neoplastic tissues.

Cryopreservation and re-transplantation of ovarian tissue is a relatively new technique to preserve fertility. This study evaluated the preservation of ovarian follicles after the vitrification-thawing procedure by implanting ovarian fragments into the gluteus muscle of rabbit. Bilateral ovariectomy was performed on each rabbit.

Background: Oxidative stress is thought to be related to many diseases. Furthermore, it is hypothesized that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) may induce excessive oxidative stress in various cell types and thereby have the potential to compromise human and animal health. The objective of this systematic review (SR) is to summarize and evaluate the literature on the relation between the exposure to RF-EMF in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 300 GHz and biomarkers of oxidative stress.

Background: DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays an important role in animal and plant development. Among the diverse types of DNA methylation modifications, methylation of cytosines catalyzed by DNA cytosine methyltransferases (DNMTs) is the most common. Recently, we characterized DNA methyltransferase genes including HlDnmt1 and HlDnmt from the Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis.
