Summary: The study aims to describe the histological events following maxillary sinus floor elevation when the elevated and undetached sinus mucosa are in close proximity or in contact with each other. Histological analysis of 152 elevated maxillary sinuses from 76 rabbits was conducted. The results showed that the width of the pseudostratified columnar epithelium and the distance between the two layers of the elevated and undetached sinus mucosae were measured at different standardized positions. Adhesion of the mucosa was observed in 31 sites, with 12 sites in the proximity stage showing shortened cilia and interlinked epithelial layers, as well as hyperactivity of goblet cells. Fusion and synechia stages were also observed.

Summary: The aim of this prospective cohort study was to evaluate the factors that increase the risk of membrane perforation. Patients underwent CBCT before surgery, and various anatomical and patient-related factors were assessed. The presence of septa, mucous retention cysts, lateral wall thickness, membrane thickness, and residual bone height were found to be predictive factors. Age, gender, and smoking were considered as covariates. The study concluded that anatomical, habitual, and pathological factors may increase the risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation during sinus floor augmentation surgery.

Summary: MicroRNAs play important roles as regulators in fertilization and embryo development. They are found in oviductal fluid packaged within extracellular vesicles, which act as natural shuttles to transport lipids, proteins, RNA molecules, and miRNAs between the oviduct and gametes or embryos. This study constructed a computational model to explore the pathways potentially activated by oviductal miRNAs and found their involvement in fundamental cellular functions related to fertilization and early embryo development. The deletion of key genes in knockout mice also showed effects on the reproductive system and embryo development.

Summary: Nowadays, there is a growing adoption of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) techniques. A promising strategy is the use of non-physiological materials and naturally derived compounds for advanced sperm preparation methods. The study showed that MoS2/Catechin nanoflakes and catechin (CT) did not have any negative effects on sperm capacitation, while adding a specific concentration of CT increased the fertilizing ability of sperm in an IVF assay. These findings suggest that catechins and new materials obtained using natural or bio compounds could enhance current sperm capacitation strategies.

Summary: Amniotic membrane and amniotic fluid derived cells show potential as stem cell sources for regenerative medicine in male infertility diseases. This study examined the effects of two cell sources, hAFMSCs and hAECs, on male fertility outcomes in a rat VAR model. The results demonstrated that hAECs were more effective in restoring fertility rate by enhancing both structural and immune response mechanisms, while hAFMSCs contributed to different mechanisms leading to testis homeostasis. These findings propose innovative stem-based regenerative medicine protocols for male infertility conditions such as VAR.

Summary: In this study, milk and cheese from the native Teramana goat breed were analysed and compared with those from the intensive Saanen breed. The Teramana breed showed higher levels of certain fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, in its milk and cheese. The Teramana cheeses also exhibited better oxidative stability during ripening due to lower levels of ketones and esters and higher levels of carboxylic acids. These findings highlight the importance of preserving and promoting native goat breeds.

Summary: The study evaluated the safety and kinetics of antibody responses in water buffaloes vaccinated with the RB51 vaccine, following the vaccination protocol described for cattle in the WOAH Manual with a triple dose. The results showed that vaccinated animals had a positive serological reaction after each vaccine injection, but the antibody titers and duration varied among individuals. For 36 weeks after booster vaccination, the CFT values remained significantly different between the vaccinated and control groups, indicating the effectiveness of the vaccine. Afterward, antibody titers decreased, but no significant changes were observed during pregnancy or lactation. In conclusion, the vaccination schedule applied is safe and allows for discrimination between vaccinated and unvaccinated controls for up to 8 months after booster vaccination.
