The results of the present study demonstrated the adaptation of the microbiota in captive Amur tigers to a diet similar to the one they consume in the wild. Biotin-HPDP datasheet Furthermore, these results may reflect the microbiota of wild Amur tigers to a certain extent.Docynia indica is used as a plant resource for both medicine and food in minority areas of southwestern China and Southeast of Asia, especially Docynia indica leaves, which are often used as a kind of functional tea in daily life. In our previous research, it has found that D. indica is rich in polyphenols (mainly phlorizin (PHZ)). Although PHZ is the first polyphenolic competitive inhibitor of sodium-dependent glucose transporters (SGLTs) to be discovered, the promotion and application of PHZ are limited due to its extremely low bioavailability. As a kind of aglycons, phloretin (PHT) possesses a better bioavailability and bioactivity than PHZ. Therefore, the conversion of PHZ to PHT in D. indica leaves by the method of biotransformation can be applied to solve the above issue. In this study, Aspergillus niger and Eurotium cristatum were used to transform PHZ to PHT in D. indica. Compared with Aspergillus niger, Eurotium cristatum can cause the equimolar conversion of PHZ to PHT. However, Aspergillus niger resulted in the complete degradation of PHZ. In the process of deep fermentation, PHZ in D. indica leaves was gradually biotransformed into PHT, and its content was as high as ~ 12% after fermentation. With the increase of PHT content, the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Docynia indica leaves increased. By the acute toxicity evaluation, it was confirmed that Docynia indica leaves and Eurotium cristatum fermented leaves were much safer. These results indicate that Eurotium cristatum fermentation has the ability to transform the functional compounds in Docynia indica leaves and increase the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Docynia indica, thus making it a substitute for PHT and functional tea. The aim was to evaluate the results of radial head prostheses (RHP) in Essex-Lopresti injury (ELI) and to compare results after RHP between acute and chronic ELI. Thirty-one patients treated with RHP for ELI were selected from a multicenter retrospective series of 310 RHP, with follow-up greater than twoyears. Two groups were acute ELI group (n=19, average diagnosis = 5+/-9 days) and chronic ELI group (n=12, average diagnosis 8.4+/-7.1 months). RHP was associated in some cases with K-wires during acute ELI to stabilize the distal radio-ulnar joint (n=4) or during chronic ELI with ulnar osteotomy or palliative surgery (n=4). Clinical and radiologic evaluation was performed including analysis of the complications and revisions rates, pain level, range of motion, and MEPS (Mayo Elbow Performance Score) and DASH score (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand). At last follow-up (71+/-38 months), survival of RHP in the acute ELI group was 84% (16/19) and 92% (11/12) in the chronic ELI group without statistically significant difference. Flexion (acute=131degrees+/-13.4 vs chronic=22+/-12.8, p=0.041) and supination (ELI=71+/-16.8 vs chronic=58+/-17.4; p=0.045) were better in acute ELI group. The DASH score was also better in the acute group (15+/-9.1 versus 24+/-15.2, p=0.048). There was more advanced stage of humero-radial osteoarthritis in the chronic ELI group (0.7+/-0.5 versus 1.4+/-0.6, p=0.041). RHP in acute ELIs provide better clinical results, although RHPs are part of the therapeutic arsenal to treat chronic ELI. RHP in acute ELIs provide better clinical results, although RHPs are part of the therapeutic arsenal to treat chronic ELI.Canine peritoneal larval cestodiasis (CPLC) is a little-known parasitological infestation of the peritoneal cavity of wild and domestic carnivores with Mesocestoides spp. larvae. While adult Mesocestoides tapeworms reside within the small intestine, the larvae occasio
