Article Abstract

In this study, the mink heart mitochondrial DNA was used as the target gene to design the specific primers of mink heart mtDNA Cytb, the extraction and detection reagents of mink heart DNA were developed using DNA fingerprinting technique, and the specificity, reproducibility, and stability of the reagents were investigated. Molecular cloning and sequencing technique were used to clone the standard substance of mink heart DNA detection, then a DNA fingerprint detection method of mink heart and the quality standard for mink heart were established, and a DNA detection kit of mink heart was developed. The results showed that the structure of DNA extracted from mink heart by self-developed reagents was complete, and both the concentration and purity of DNA were high. A specific amplification band of the original mink samples was found at 337 bp. The sequence of mink heart DNA was consistent with that of mink heart mtDNA specific fingerprint region. The mink heart DNA fingerprint identification method established, in this study, is accurate and reliable, and the procedure of the developed DNA kit is easy, the results obtained using this kit is stable and the method is suitable for popularization and application.

Exercise intensity plays a critical role in influencing immune responses during myocarditis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the cardiac tissue. Based on preclinical and clinical evidence, this review examines how moderate high-intensity training affects immune activation in myocarditis. Studies involving animals suggest that moderate exercise may reduce inflammation and support immune regulation, while high-intensity training often exacerbates pro-inflammatory responses and worsens cardiac injury.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) can cause skeletal muscle, myocardial, and gastrointestinal lesions. However, it is currently unclear whether these lesions are caused directly by viral infection or indirectly after infection and whether there are differences between different animal models. Here, we first compared the pathological changes of skeletal muscle, myocardium, and gastrointestinal smooth muscle of different COVID-19 animal models (rhesus monkey, hamster, ferret, hACE2 transgenic mice, hACE2-K18 transgenic mice, mink, and cat), and analyzed the possible mechanism of pathological changes.

The cardiac conduction system (CCS) orchestrates the electrical impulses that enable coordinated contraction of the cardiac chambers. The T-box transcription factors and are required for CCS development and associated with overlapping and distinct human CCS diseases. We evaluated the coordinated role of and in the murine ventricular conduction system (VCS).

Hepatozoon spp. are protozoal organisms that infect a wide variety of animal hosts. Three free-ranging American mink (Neovison vison) from Pennsylvania, USA, were diagnosed with hepatozoonosis either as the primary cause of mortality or as a co-morbidity with canine distemper virus infection or trauma.

Background: An increasing proportion of immigrants are residing in developed countries, but little is known about the extent of their obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Our objective was to evaluate the association between immigrant status and CAD among immigrants.

Methods And Results: Initial coronary angiography performed for stable CAD from 2012 to 2021 in Ontario, Canada was examined.
