BACKGROUND:The imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation in microgravity environments leads to significant bone loss in astronauts.Current research indicates that bone loss under microgravity conditions is the result of the combined effects of various cells,tissues,and systems. OBJECTIVE:To review different biological effects of microgravity on various cells,tissues,or systems,and summarize the mechanisms by which microgravity leads to the development of osteoporosis. METHODS:Databases such as PubMed,Web of Science,and the Cochrane Database were searched for relevant literature from 2000 to 2023.The inclusion criteria were all articles related to tissue engineering studies and basic research on osteoporosis caused by microgravity.Ultimately,85 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In microgravity environment,bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells tend to differentiate more into adipocytes rather than osteoblasts,and hematopoietic stem cells in this environment are more inclined to differentiate into osteoclasts,reducing differentiation into the erythroid lineage.At the same time,microgravity inhibits the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts,promotes apoptosis of osteoblasts,alters cell morphology,and reduces the mineralization capacity of osteoblasts.Microgravity significantly increases the number and activity of osteoclasts.Microgravity also hinders the differentiation of osteoblasts into osteocytes and promotes the apoptosis of osteocytes.(2)In a microgravity environment,the body experiences changes such as skeletal muscle atrophy,microvascular remodeling,bone microcirculation disorders,and endocrine disruption.These changes lead to mechanical unloading in the bone microenvironment,insufficient blood perfusion,and calcium cycle disorders,which significantly impact the development of osteoporosis.(3)At present,the mechanism by which microgravity causes osteoporosis is relatively complex.A deeper study of these physiological mechanisms is crucial to ensuring the health of astronauts during long-term space missions,and provides a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the incidence of ketosis in dairy cows in large-scale dairy farms and the effect of ketosis on the subsequent lactation performance of dairy cows.In this experiment,79 perinatal cows in 8 stages of prenatal 21,14,7 days,delivery day,postpartum 3,7,14,21 days were selected to determine the blood biochemical indexes such as BHB,GLU,NE-FA and ALT in their blood.According to the concentration of BHB in the blood,they were divided into healthy group(CON),subclinical ketosis group(SCK)and clinical ketosis group(CK).There was a disorder of mineral elements in dairy cows in the experimental ranch,and the liver function of dairy cows was abnormal,and there was a disorder of energy metabolism.The incidence of keto-sis in dairy cows in the survey pasture was 26.14%,of which the incidence of SCK was 19.32%,and the incidence of CK was 6.82%,which was comparable to the global average incidence and lower than the average incidence in China.Compared with CON cows,SCK and CK cows had energy metabolism disorders and abnormal liver function,and CK cows were more serious.The milk yield of dairy cows with ketosis decreased significantly.The milk fat rate of dairy cows in SCK group was higher than that in CON group,while the milk fat rate of dairy cows in CK group was significantly lower than that in CON group.The fat-to-egg ratio of dairy cows in CK group was sig-nificantly lower than that in SCK group and CON group.The changes of lactation performance in different types of ketosis at 6 months after ketosis were different,and the lactation performance of dairy cows in CON group was the most stable.In the production of pastures,timely and effective treatment and management are essential for restoring the health and milk production performance of dairy cows.Ketosis can lead to disorder of energy metabolism and abnormal liver function in dairy cows,reduce milk yield,and have a continuous effect on lactation performance of dairy cows.Maintaining the health of dairy cows is the key to improving milk production and maintaining sta-ble lactation performance.For different types of ketosis cows,corresponding management and treatment measures should be taken to reduce economic losses.

This study aims to clarify the incidence and prevention status of dairy cow mastitis in 79 large-scale pastures in China in 2022,reduce the incidence of dairy cow mastitis,and provide scien-tific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies for dairy cow mastitis in large-scale pastures suitable for China's national conditions.The research team relied on the large-scale ranch of the Comprehensive Experimental Station of National Dairy Industry Technology System to car-ry out research.A total of 79 questionnaires were received.The information on the stock of large-scale farms,the proportion of cows in the herd,the level of cow yields,the incidence and cure rate of cow mastitis,the prevention and control of cow mastitis,diagnosis and treatment programs of cow mastitis,the cost of treating cow mastitis,and the culling rate of farms was collected.Chi-square test and correlation analysis were carried out on the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows and the prevention and control plan,treatment plan,yield level and elimination rate of mastitis in dairy cows by descriptive statistical cross table.The incidence of cow mastitis in some pastures was con-trolled between 5%and 10%,and the cure rate was mostly as high as 98%.According to the co-hort analysis,the importance of prevention and control measures for dairy cow mastitis was as fol-lows:DMT>DHI>milk yield>milk traits>breast apparent change>electrical conductivity>CMT.The importance of treatment measures for dairy cow mastitis is as follows:DMT>DHI>milk yield>milk traits>breast apparent changes>electrical conductivity>CMT.The importance of treatment measures for mastitis is as follows:traditional Chinese medicine>pathogen detection and drug sensitivity test>non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs>regular maintenance of milking equipment>normal milking without treatment>broad-spectrum antibiotics.The incidence of mas-titis in dairy cows is moderately positively correlated with the yield per unit area,that is,the in-crease in the incidence of mastitis in dairy cows has a certain impact on the yield per unit area of dairy cows.Economic analysis shows that the treatment cost of mastitis is closely related to the in-cidence rate,and the treatment cost of pasture with higher incidence rate is higher.Pastures with higher yields usually have more efficient means of disease prevention and control,and the corre-sponding treatment costs are lower.In conclusion,China's large-scale pastures should strengthen the scientific feeding management level,improve the prevention and control methods to reduce the incidence of cow mastitis,improve the cure rate,and reduce the cost of pasture treatment.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and trends of birth defects related to assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Jiangxi Province from 2014 to 2023, and to explore the correlation factors of birth defect occurrence.Methods:A retrospective collection of ART treatment data and follow-up results from January 2014 to December 2023 across 18 reproductive centers in Jiangxi Province was conducted. The trend of birth defects and the rank order of defect types were analyzed. Exact probability methods were used to estimate the 95% confidence intervals ( CI) of the incidence rates, and Poisson regression was applied to identify independent correlation factors. Results:A total of 65 003 ART offspring were included in this study, comprising 2 025 offspring from intrauterine insemination (IUI) and 62 978 from in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The overall incidence of birth defects was 13.46‰ (95% CI: 12.59‰-14.38‰), with 9.38‰ (95% CI: 5.66‰-14.61‰) for IUI and 13.59‰ (95% CI:12.70‰-14.53‰) for IVF-ET. The incidence of birth defects showed a decreasing trend from 2014 to 2023 (17.11‰ to 11.47‰, Ptrend=0.003). The top three birth defect types were circulatory system defects (3.71‰, 95% CI: 3.25‰-4.21‰), musculoskeletal system defects (2.37‰, 95% CI: 2.01‰-2.77‰), and congenital malformations of the face, ears, eyes, and neck (1.23‰, 95% CI: 0.98‰-1.53‰). Univariate analysis indicated that male offspring from IVF-ET had a higher incidence of birth defects than that in female offspring (14.72‰ vs. 12.31‰, P=0.009). Additionally, gestational age, birth weight, fetal number, cause of infertility, and year of delivery were significantly associated with birth defect incidence in IVF-ET offspring ( P<0.001, P<0.001, P<0.001, P=0.025, P=0.037). Multivariate analysis showed that in singleton pregnancies, male offspring, gestational age 32-36 weeks birth weight <1 500 g, and infertility with bilateral factors were independent risk factors for birth defects ( OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.00-1.47, P=0.046; OR=1.90,95% CI: 1.41-2.56, P<0.001; OR=3.37, 95% CI: 1.33-8.51, P=0.010; OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.12-1.69, P=0.003), while in multiple pregnancies, male offspring, gestational age <32 weeks, gestational age 32-36 weeks, birth weight <1 500 g, birth weight 1 500-2 499 g, maternal age 25-29 years and maternal age 30-34 years were independent risk factors ( OR=1.25, 95% CI: 1.03-1.52, P=0.023; OR=2.06, 95% CI: 1.35-3.15, P=0.001; OR=1.32,95% CI: 1.05-1.66, P=0.016; OR=1.98,95% CI: 1.19-3.28, P=0.009; OR=2.06,95% CI: 1.64-2.60, P<0.001; OR=2.00, 95% CI: 1.31-3.06, P=0.001; OR=1.90,95% CI: 1.24-2.92, P=0.003). Conclusion:Over the past 10 years, the incidence of birth defects in ART offspring in Jiangxi Province has shown a decreasing trend annually, with circulatory system malformations being the most common. The occurrence of birth defects in IVF offspring is primarily associated with maternal and infant characteristics, such as gender, gestational age, birth weight, number of fetuses, and cause of infertility, independent of ART treatment factors.
