The people of Southeast Asia often use lotus as a highly sought-after food source. Here, the effects ultrasonic pretreatment on drying kinetics (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) seeds under microwave vacuum were investigated. best fit model to predict was also proposed. Lotus subjected at frequencies 20, 35, and 80 kHz power intensity 0.75 1.50 W/g for 10 min using an bath then drying. Five different mathematical models fitted experimental data newly proposed selected based with highest regression...

For screening excellent lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains to inhibit enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88, inhibitory activities of more than 1100 LAB isolated from different materials, and kept in the lab, were evaluated this study. Nine with inhibition zones, at least 22.00 mm (including that a hole puncher, 10.00 mm), good physiological biochemical characteristics identified by 16S DNA gene sequencing recA multiple detection, assigned Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum subsp. (5), L....

Abstract Background As an adequate plant protein raw material, soybean meal has attracted extensive attention because of its high content, abundant amino acids essential for animals, and many functional nutrients. Feed fermentation is a new way to improve nutrient absorption animals by inoculating microorganisms, which can also play probiotic role. In order screen the lactic acid bacteria with remarkable protease-producing performance excellent growth characteristics, 1000 strains isolated...

This study evaluated the effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. ZA3, Artemisia argyi and their combination, on fermentation characteristics, microbial community, mycotoxins crude flavonoids content fermented soybean meal during (under anaerobic conditions) aerobic exposure conditions). The results showed that ZA3+ groups had lower pH values higher lactic acid concentrations compared with controls, additives increased abundance decreased those Acetobacter Enterobacter; in particular,...

Immune deficiency is a prevalent issue among kittens, severely threatening their health and development by increasing susceptibility to infections diseases. This study investigates the effects of dietary supplements containing lactoferrin Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) on immune function, intestinal health, microbiota composition kittens. The results demonstrate that these significantly enhance responses, with immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels 14.9% IgG 14.2%. Additionally, there was...

Silage, especially whole crop corn silage (WCCS), is an important part of ruminant diets, with its high moisture content and rich nutrient content, which can easily cause contamination by mold their toxins, posing a great threat to production, food safety human health. The objective this study was examine effects lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactiplantibacillus (L.) plantarum subsp. ZA3 Artemisia argyi (AA) on the fermentation characteristics, microbial community mycotoxin WCCS during 60 days...

Improving diabetes self-management (DSM) is facing real-world challenges among people with type 2 mellitus (T2DM) who have a low education level in resource-limited areas. This study aimed to investigate whether knowledge could predict glycemic levels T2DM rural China. analytical cross-sectional recruited 321 from eight villages by purposive sampling at baseline. After 10 months, 206 patients completed the follow-up survey and HbA1c tests, response rate of 64.17% (206/321). Multiple...

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), which expresses K88 is the principal microorganism responsible for bacterial diarrhea in pig husbandry, and indiscriminate use of antibiotics has caused many problems; therefore, need to be replaced order prevent by ETEC K88. The objective this study was screen excellent lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains that inhibit explore their effects as probiotic supplementation on reproduction, growth performance, diarrheal incidence, antioxidant capacity serum...

This study assessed the effects of Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) in combination with protease on fermentation characteristics and microbial communities during ensiling aerobic exposure phases soybean meal (SBM). In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize optimal growth conditions E. ZZUPF95, which produced protease, fermented SBM under conditions. The test divided into four groups as follows: CK (Control check), Protease ZZUPF95+Protease groups. Results...

The defects of DNA repair genes may lead to genomic instability and cancer. As an important mismatch gene that maintains stability from replication errors, genetic variants mutS homolog 2 (MSH2) are associated with some cancers. In this study, 1021 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases non-HCC controls Guangxi were included explore the association between MSH2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) HCC. Among eight SNPs, only genotype distribution rs2303428 was significantly different HCC...

Childhood maltreatment has long-lasting effects on mental health. Existing evidence suggests that trajectories of depressive symptoms vary among individuals; however, little is known about how childhood shapes these trajectory patterns. Therefore, this study investigated the impacts eight-year Chinese older adults.

Background With the increase in aging population worldwide, Alzheimer’s disease has become a rapidly increasing public health concern. In Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, there are three risk factors judged to have evidence for causal link and other dementias: smoking, high body-mass index (HBMI), fasting plasma glucose (HFPG). Objective This study aimed analyze trends AD mortality relevant burden across China from 1990 as well their correlation with age, period, birth cohort. Methods...
