Mixtures of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) have high electrical conductivity when cast from aqueous suspensions in combination with a boiling-point cosolvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The electronic component the thermal these highly conducting polymers is interest for evaluating their potential thermoelectric cooling power generation. We find, using time-domain thermoreflectance measurements along multiple directions thick (>20 μm) drop-cast PEDOT...

Chiral sensing of single molecules is vital for the understanding chirality and their applications in biomedicine. However, current technologies face severe limitations achieving single-molecule sensitivity. Here we overcome these by designing a tunable chiral supramolecular plasmonic system made helical oligoamide sequences (OS) nanoparticle-on-mirror (NPoM) resonator, which works across classical quantum regimes. Our design enhances sensitivity tunnelling regime despite reduced local...
Thermal conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) materials is interest for energy storage, nanoelectronics and optoelectronics.

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have decreased butyrate-producing bacteria. We hypothesized that supplementation bacteria may exert beneficial effects on T2D. The current study investigated the of well-characterized Clostridium butyricum CGMCC0313.1 (CB0313.1) hyperglycemia and associated metabolic dysfunction in two diabetic mouse models. CB0313.1 was administered daily by oral gavage to leptin db/db mice for 5 weeks starting from 3 age, HF induced high fat diet (HFD) plus...
Abstract As a long-standing biomedical model, rats have been frequently used in studies exploring the correlations between gastrointestinal (GI) bacterial biota and diseases. In present study, luminal mucosal samples taken along longitudinal axis of rat digestive tract were subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing-based analysis determine baseline microbial composition. Results showed that community diversity increased from upper lower GI segments stratification communities as well shift...
In this study, C57BL/6J mice were fed diets supplemented with different proportions of lactulose (0%, 5%, and 15%) for 2 weeks to study its effects on the luminal mucosal microbiota. The samples cecum colon investigated. After high-lactulose treatment (15%), pH contents decreased from 6.90-7.72 5.95-6.21 distal colon, amount total short-chain fatty acids in was significantly increased. content mostly dominated by Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, while mucus Proteobacteria,...

Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are usually regarded as a type of prebiotic, favorably stimulating the growth bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. However, they not specific substrates for these target species, other bacteria, such Streptococcus, Escherichia, Clostridium, have been shown to be able utilize FOS. Previous studies mainly investigated only few bacteria groups, reports analyzed global effects FOS on intestinal microbial communities. In this study gut in mice were through 16S rRNA...
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are a well-known class of prebiotic and considered to selectively stimulate the growth bifidobacteria in gut. Previous studies focused on stimulation Bifidobacterium, but they did not further investigate bifidobacterial composition specific species that were stimulated. In this study, mice fed with FOS different doses for four weeks fecal microbiota, particular was analyzed by sequencing V3⁻V4 region groEL gene MiSeq platform, respectively. high-dose group,...
Low‐loss magnetization dynamics and strong magnetoelastic coupling are generally mutually exclusive properties due to opposing dependencies on spin–orbit interactions. So far, the lack of low‐damping, magnetostrictive ferrite films has hindered development power‐efficient magnetoelectric acoustic spintronic devices. Here, magnetically soft epitaxial spinel NiZnAl‐ferrite thin with an unusually low Gilbert damping parameter (<3 × 10 −3 ), as well evidenced by a giant strain‐induced...
Lactulose has been known as a prebiotic that can selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Recent studies have indicated Streptococcus mutans, Clostridium perfringens, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii are also able to utilize lactulose. However, previous mainly focused on utilization lactulose by individual strains, few were designed identify species could among gut microbiota. This study aimed lactulose-metabolizing bacteria in human gut, using silico...
Traditional paocai brine (PB) is continuously propagated by back-slopping and contains numerous lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains. Although PB important for the quality of (Chinese sauerkraut), taste features, taste-related compounds PB-paocai effects LAB communities from on remain unclear. An electronic tongue was used to evaluate features 13 samples. Umami, saltiness, bitterness, sweetness, aftertaste astringency were main PB-paocai. A total 14 identified as discriminant markers via gas...

The prevention, mitigation and treatment of depression has become a global issue that needs to be solved urgently. Sayram Ketteki, traditional natural fermented yoghurt from the region with world's fourth highest life expectancy, been known as "longevity secret", whose longevity anti-depression factors are speculated come its rich microorganisms. Therefore, for first time, we systematically studied in depth microbes screened new edible probiotic strain, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum R6-3,...
In the realm of extreme nanophotonics, nanogap plasmons support reliable field enhancements up to 1000, which provide unique opportunities access a single molecule for strong coupling and atom quantum catalysis. The plasmonics are intriguing but difficult modulate largely because lack proper spacers that can reversibly actuate sub–1-nm gaps. Here, we demonstrate supramolecular systems made oligoamide sequences switch gap Au nanoparticles on mirror between classical tunneling regimes via...

In this study, we demonstrate that an aromatic oligoamide sequence assembles into a trimeric helix-turn-helix architecture with disulfide linkage, and upon cleavage of it reconstructs antiparallel double helix. The helix is accessible to encapsulate diacid guest within its cavity, forming 2:1 host–guest complex. contrast, hydrogen-bonding interactions between the trimeric-assembled structure guests induce conformational shift in helix, resulting cross-shaped double-helix complex at 2:2...
