Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2019 Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is considered the main cause of reproductive disorders in pigs, which are summarized under the acronym SMEDI (stillbirth, mummification, embryonic death, and infertility). In this review the biology of the virus and its structure, pathogenic potential and strain variation, as well as the disease induced by the virus, are ...

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 14-28, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Objective Tape stripping is an often‐used non‐invasive destructive method to investigate the skin penetration of a substance. In recent years, however, the suitability of confocal Raman spectroscopy (CRS) as a non‐invasive method of non‐destructive examination of the skin has become increasingly apparent.

Porous Silicon Microneedles for Enhanced Transdermal Drug Delivery
Advanced Therapeutics, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 The use of high‐density porous silicon microneedle arrays with tunable porosity for delivering drugs via the transdermal route with minimal invasiveness, allows for controlled degradation rate, high payload capacity, and mechanical stability compared to other reported microneedle systems. It shows significant potential for biomedical and pharmaceutical

Small, Volume 18, Issue 15, April 14, 2022., 2022 A surface adsorption strategy is developed to engineer microcomposites, which feature with ultrahigh loading capacity (up to 78.9%) and precise ratiometric control of co‐encapsulated peptides. The developed strategy sets a new paradigm to improve the pharmacokinetic and pharmacological performance of water‐soluble therapeutics, especially for the ...

Anti‐obesity effects of Chenpi: an artificial gastrointestinal system study
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 15, Issue 3, Page 874-885, March 2022., 2022 This study investigated how the microbial community changes during treatment with Chenpi using the Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem (SHIME) and two preparations of Chenpi extract were tested: Chenpi suspended in oil only and Chenpi in a viscoelastic emulsion. Short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) were measured during treatment to monitor

Veterinary Record, Volume 190, Issue 2, 22/29 January 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Microbial colonisation of piglets’ intestines starts at birth, especially from contact with sow's faeces. Piglet microbiota could therefore be influenced by the sow's diet. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the microbiological flora of liquid feed for sows can be associated with the development of neonatal ...

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 517-534, January 2022., 2022 Summary Eubacterium maltosivorans YIT is a human intestinal isolate capable of acetogenic, propionogenic and butyrogenic growth. Its 4.3‐Mb genome sequence contains coding sequences for 4227 proteins, including 41 different methyltransferases. Comparative proteomics of strain YIT showed the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway proteins to be actively produced during

The make‐or‐buy decision of feed on livestock farms: Evidence from Ontario swine farms
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page 353-368, September 2021., 2021 Abstract We define the boundary of a livestock farm in terms of corn production as the percentage of homegrown corn in total corn required. A new theoretical model is proposed that explains how farm boundaries are shaped by the relative efficiency of two alternative transaction‐facilitating mechanisms: market and hierarchy.

The Canadian pork industry and COVID‐19: A year of resilience
Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 69, Issue 2, Page 225-232, June 2021., 2021 Abstract While COVID‐19 had the potential to be extremely disruptive to the Canadian pork supply chain, the sector showed resiliency by adjusting to market changes to ensure industry continuation. Unlike other non‐agricultural firms that were mandated to close at times, the pork sector was deemed an essential service and allowed to continue operating ...
