Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of an essential oil derived from the leaves of Salvia officinalis L. (sage oil) for use in all animal species (FEFANA asbl) by EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP), Roberto Edoardo Villa, Giovanna Azimonti, Eleftherios Bonos, Henrik Christensen, Mojca Durjava, Birgit Dusemund, Ronette Gehring, Boet Glandorf, Maryline Kouba, Marta López‐Alonso, Francesca Marcon, Carlo Nebbia, Alena Pechová, Miguel Prieto‐Maradona, Ilen Röhe, Katerina Theodoridou, Maria de Lourdes Bastos, Paul Brantom, Andrew Chesson, Josef Schlatter, Johannes Westendorf, Paola Manini

“…The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that sage oil is considered safe up to the maximum proposed use levels in complete feed of 20 mg/kg for ornamental fish. For the other species, the calculated safe concentrations in complete feed were 3 mg/kg for chickens for fattening and turkeys for fattening, 4 mg/kg for laying hens and rabbits, 5 mg/kg for piglets, 6 mg/kg for pigs for fattening, 7 mg/kg for sows and dairy cows, 11 mg/kg for veal calves (milk replacers) and salmonids, 10 mg/kg for cattle for fattening, sheep/goats and horses, 12 mg/kg for dogs and 2 mg/kg for cats. …”

HOTSSea v1: a NEMO-based physical Hindcast of the Salish Sea (1980–2018) supporting ecosystem model development by G. Oldford, G. Oldford, T. Jarníková, V. Christensen, M. Dunphy

“…Overall, despite the biases inherited from forcings and a relatively coarse horizontal discretisation, HOTSSea v1 performs well at representing temperature and salinity at the spatial–temporal scales needed to support research related to decadal-scale climate effects on marine ecosystems, fish, and fisheries. We conclude by underscoring the need to further extend the hindcast to capture a regime shift that occurred in the 1970s.…”

Krüppel-like factor 4 modulates the miR-101/COL10A1 axis to inhibit renal fibrosis after AKI by regulating epithelial–mesenchymal transition by Jingying Zhao, Xiuli Wang, Yubin Wu, Chengguang Zhao

“…This study tested the hypothesis that the Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4)/miR-101/Collagen alpha-1X (COL10A1) axis could inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and renal fibrosis after AKI in a mouse model of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced renal fibrosis and HK-2 cells by gene silencing, overexpression, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blotting, dual-luciferase reporter assay, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and ELISA. Compared with the Sham group, I/R induced renal tubular and glomerular injury and fibrosis, and increased the levels of BUN, serum Scr and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), Col10a1 and Vimentin expression, but decreased E-cadherin expression in the kidney tissues of mice at 42 days post-I/R. …”

“…In order to ensure healthy aquaculture process and safe aquatic products, it is imperative to explore methods that can effectively mitigate the toxicity of PFOS and PFOA on fish. Research has demonstrated that Lactobacillus rhamnosus can ameliorate the toxic impacts induced by perfluorobutyric acid (PFBS) on zebrafish through regulation of host intestinal microbiota imbalance and enhancement of host antioxidant capacity. …”
