Summary: Pituitary hormones like prolactin and luteinizing hormone were found to be higher in breast milk from mothers of preterm infants compared to term infants. Infant formulas have higher total protein content but do not contain detectable levels of pituitary hormones.

Summary: In this study, Pseudomonas strain NCIM 5235 was evaluated for its potential to degrade caffeine in synthetic coffee wastewater. The results showed that the bacterial strain could completely degrade caffeine within a short period of time under optimal conditions. Additionally, the bacteria showed the ability to simultaneously degrade theobromine present in wastewater, indicating its effectiveness in industrial waste treatment.

Summary: By scaling up the treatment of coffee wastewater to a 1L bioreactor and optimizing for caffeine degradation using self-directing optimization technique, a maximum degradation rate of 16.9mg/L.h was achieved, slightly higher than the predicted value of 15.2 mg/L.h.

Summary: Tramadol, an opioid used for moderate to moderately severe pain, is generally avoided during pregnancy and lactation. Research has shown that infants exposed to tramadol through breast milk receive minimal doses with no significant harmful effects.

Summary: This study isolated nine Gram-negative, motile and rod-shaped bacteria from raw milk microbiota in Germany. Through phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterization, the strains were identified as two novel species, Pseudomonas kielensis and Pseudomonas baltica. These findings contribute to our understanding of the microbial diversity in raw milk.

Summary: The study revealed that most mothers have limited knowledge about donor human milk and milk banks, and have not received sufficient counseling from medical providers. While participants had positive attitudes towards donor human milk, they tended to choose formula over donor human milk when making decisions. Additionally, if donor human milk was the only option, they preferred milk from a relative or friend over milk banks.

Summary: The study aimed to determine whether FMOM can be used to personalize DHM and found that FMOM can achieve a similar microbial composition to MOM, making it a feasible option in a milk restoration strategy.

Summary: The study showed that inoculating PDHM with mother's own milk could restore bacterial growth and personalize the human milk microbiome in PDHM. This personalized effect is beneficial due to the presence of maternal probiotic bacteria in the milk, making PDHM more similar to the mother's own milk.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the content of kynurenine (KYN) in human breast milk and to explore the effects of intragastric KYN administration on the development of adult rats. The study found that KYN is present in human milk and its content gradually increases over time. Animal experiments showed that KYN supplementation can increase absorptive surface of rat intestine and affect the expression of receptors in intestinal tissue. Moreover, KYN administration from birth to weaning resulted in neurobehavioral changes in adult rats.

Summary: Strains belonging to the Pseudomonas genus, including UCMA 17988 isolated from raw milk, have been found to form a novel species named Pseudomonas crudilactis. This strain was reported to produce antimicrobial lipopeptides and differed significantly from its closest relatives based on DNA hybridization and nucleotide identity values.

Summary: The nicotine-degrading Pseudomonas sp. JY-Q is a preferred strain for tobacco waste treatment, but its nicotine metabolism efficiency needs to be improved through genomic technology. By studying the upstream module of the nicotine metabolic pathway, a successful combinatorial displacement of endogenous promoters improved nicotine metabolism capacity in the strain. Promoter replacement proved to be a feasible strategy for enhancing metabolic modules and strain biodegradation capacity.

Summary: The study found that maternal vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 resulted in the presence of protective specific immunoglobulins in human milk that began to significantly increase around 7 days after vaccination, with an IgG-dominant response.

Summary: This study examines the hormone content in different forms of infant feeding and finds that breast milk contains thyroid hormones, while infant formulas lack them. This raises the question of whether formula-fed infants should be supplemented with thyroid hormones.

Summary: If maternal own milk is not available, pooled donor milk is commonly used as an alternative. However, it contains less protein and fat compared to maternal milk and may affect growth. Donor milk from mothers of preterm infants is a potential alternative with higher protein levels, but its impact on growth and body composition is unclear.

Summary: This study aimed to measure the macronutrient and micronutrient composition of breast milk expressed by mothers of preterm infants, including those who self-identify as black. Results showed differences in protein, sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and zinc concentrations based on race, day, and milk volume, with dilution effects observed over time. Factors such as race, gestational age, and volume were found to influence the composition of preterm mother's milk, which should be considered when designing feeds for premature infants.
