Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed CD8-positive epitheliotropic T-cell lymphoma, with more than 90% of neoplastic cells expressing CD3 and CD8. Initial treatment with oclacitinib resulted in a reduction in the size and number of the oral lesions; however, disease progression was observed after 149 days. Bleomycin-based electrochemotherapy (BLM-ECT) was subsequently performed using intravenous bleomycin (20 mg/m²) followed by electric pulse delivery with a four-needle electrode (1,000 V/cm, eight pulses). Two BLM-ECT sessions were administered on days 205 and 238, resulting in marked reduction in the size and number of the oral lesions and prolonged local disease control. On day 354, enlargement of the left mandibular lymph node was observed. Histopathological examination revealed extensive necrosis that precluded definitive determination of lymphoma involvement.

Sex-sorted frozen semen from Australian Wagyu bulls was treated with 0, 10, 50, 100, 150, and 200 μM quercetin. Sperm motility parameters, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential, DNA integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and antioxidant-related indices were assessed. Metabolomic profiling was further performed to compare the 50 μM quercetin-treated group with the control group. The results showed that the 50 μM quercetin group exhibited better sperm viability, motility, straight-line velocity (VSL), curvilinear velocity (VCL), and average path velocity (VAP), together with reduced ROS levels and increased activities of antioxidant enzymes, including SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px. High concentrations of quercetin (≥150 μM) adversely affected sperm motility and several functional parameters. Metabolomic analysis revealed clear metabolic differences between the 50 μM quercetin-treated group and the control group, with 131 upregulated and 395 downregulated differential metabolites identified. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that these differential metabolites were mainly involved in lipid-related pathways, including glycerophospholipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism. These results suggest that an appropriate concentration of quercetin may improve the post-thaw quality of sex-sorted frozen semen from Australian Wagyu bulls by alleviating oxidative stress and regulating lipid metabolism.
