Capsaicin Modulates Ruminal Fermentation and Bacterial Communities in Beef Cattle with High-Grain Diet-Induced Subacute Ruminal Acidosis by Wei You, Haijian Cheng, Xin Hu, Enliang Song, Fugui Jiang

“…Relative to the SARA group, the addition of capsaicin elevated the ruminal pH from 5.40 to 6.36 (<i>p</i> < 0.01), and decreased the total volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from 133.95 to 82.86 mmol/L (<i>p</i> < 0.01), aligning closely with the levels observed in the CON group. The addition of capsaicin increased the alpha diversity of ruminal bacteria relative to the SARA group, as evidenced by a lower Simpson index (<i>p</i> < 0.05), together with increases in the Ace, Chao, and Shannon indices (<i>p</i> < 0.05). …”

Heterogeneity of DNA Distribution in Diploid Cells: A New Predicitive Discriminant Factor for Solid Tumour Behaviour by Jacques Assailly, Arnaud Desgrippes, Brigitte Loridon‐Rosa, Dominique Piron, Roger Dachez, Daniel Beurton

“…Thus spatial DNA heterogeneity distribution of diploid cells seems to quantitate probable genetic instability as a function of clinical evolution such as tumour recurrence, and suggests the possible presence of aneuploid stemlines in a heterogeneous tumour, even if a diploid DNA histogram is observed in a single sample. From standardized C1 and C2 canonical discriminant function coefficients, a DNA heterogeneity index (2c‐HI) is proposed to characterize diploid cells providing a descriptive and predictive discriminant factor for solid tumour behaviour.…”
