ABSTRACT Butyrate, a physiologically active molecule, can be synthesized through metabolic interactions among colonic microorganisms. Previously, in fermenting trial of human fecal microbiota, we observed that the butyrogenic effect positively correlated with increasing Bifidobacterium population and an unidentified Megasphaera species. Therefore, hypothesized cross-feeding phenomenon exists between , where is butyrate producer, its growth relies on metabolites generated by . To validate...

Digital and technological transformation has gained significant attention not only due to the exposure of latest technologies but also its considerable impact on sustainable economic growth. This research determines influence digital advancement is composed three variables; E-government Development Index (EGDI), Internet Users’ (IU) growth, information communications technology (ICT) exports. Besides that, urbanization unemployment rate have been considered as control variables. The dataset...

An influential account of normative aging effects on reading holds that older adults make greater use contextual predictability to facilitate word identification. However, supporting evidence is scarce. Accordingly, we used measures eye movements experimentally investigate age differences in Chinese reading, as this nonalphabetic language has characteristics may promote such effects. Word-skipping rates were higher and times lower for more highly predictable words both groups. Effects...

Research with alphabetic scripts shows that providing an invalid parafoveal preview eliminates or diminishes effects of contextual predictability on word identification, revealing such depend the interplay between top-down expectations and bottom-up perceptual information. Whether similar are observed in character-based like Chinese is unknown. However, knowledge would extend our understanding prediction different writing systems. Accordingly, we conducted eye movement experiment using...

Research suggests that pattern complexity (number of strokes) limits the visual span for Chinese characters, and this may have important consequences reading. With present research, we investigated age differences in characters by presenting trigrams low, medium or high at various locations relative to a central point young (18–30 years) older (60+ adults. A sentence reading task was used assess their speed. The results showed size smaller stimuli compared low both groups, replicating...

Older adults are thought to compensate for slower lexical processing by making greater use of contextual knowledge, relative young adults, predict words in sentences. Accordingly, compared older should produce larger predictability effects reading times and skipping rates words. Empirical support this account is nevertheless scarce. Perhaps the clearest evidence date comes from a recent Chinese study showing word but not two-character However, one possibility that absence word-skipping...

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, and periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) are pivotal for osteogenesis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) can regulate disease progression via targeting miRNA/mRNA axis. The purposes of this study were to explore the function mechanism circ_0138959 in periodontitis. cell model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment PDLCs. RNA expression determined quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay. Cell proliferation...

ABSTRACT In this study, differences between two strains of inbred mice in aspects neutrophil function, namely Rac1 expression, chemotaxis, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase activity and formation extracellular traps (NETs), were determined. Neutrophils from CBA/CaH exhibited weaker expression a slower chemotactic gradient than BALB/c mice. Furthermore, PMA‐ or fMLP‐stimulated neutrophils generated much less superoxide NETs similarly stimulated These findings suggest that...

Kefir is a natural fermented dairy beverage obtained by fermenting milk with kefir starter grains. However, up to now, there still no efficient approach producing stable grains using the pure or cultural mixture of strains isolated from original Therefore, new techniques need be taken promote grain production. To this purpose, an encapsulated vector produced entrapment dominant and cheese which was traditional manufacturing method used mimic forming, respectively. Then, composition,...

Background Numerous studies have confirmed that skilled readers can benefit from a semantically related preview word ( i.e ., semantic benefit, SPB), suggesting extract information the parafovea to achieve efficient reading. It is still under debate whether occurrence of this because association between and target words or contextual fit in sentence context. Methods Two independent factors, plausibility (preview plausible/implausible) relatedness (semantically related/unrelated), were...

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) have been employed as prebiotics containing oligomers of varying sizes or molecular ratios. XOS with a low degree polymerization (DP) has demonstrated to high prebiotic potential. However, there is limited information regarding the specific chain length required elicit distinct responses in gut microbiota. In this study, we aimed explore whether variations DP could alter fate colonic fermentation. Five fractions (BWXFs) ranges >40, 20–40, 10–20, 5–10, and 2–4 were...
