Summary: This study found that oyster polysaccharides (OPS) can ameliorate hepatic oxidative stress and inflammation induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) by regulating bile acid metabolism and signaling pathways. OPS reduced oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver and increased bile acid content. This study provides a theoretical basis for OPS as a new source of functional food.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the hepatotoxic compound CCl4 on the expression of key proteins involved in glutamate uptake and metabolism in the liver, brain, and cerebellum of mice. The findings revealed differential expression patterns of glutamate transporters in the cerebellum, along with Purkinje cell loss, up-regulation of glutamine synthetase, and astrogliosis in the brain. The study also showed an up-regulation of glutamate transporter 1 in the intoxicated liver, contrasting with a time-dependent reduction in glutamine synthetase, indicating a disruption of glutamate transporters expression in the liver-brain axis under acute CCl4 insult.

Summary: This study reveals that Cav1 deficiency in mice provides protection against acute liver injury, reducing hepatocyte degeneration, necrosis, and apoptosis as well as lowering ALT levels. Cav1 is also crucial for the polarization of hepatic macrophages, with its deficiency inhibiting the polarization towards the M1 phenotype. These findings suggest that Cav1 expressed in macrophages could be a potential therapeutic target for acute liver injury.

Summary: Phosphorus (P) is a key limiting nutrient in lake ecosystems and cyanobacterial blooms. This study investigated the sources and bioavailability of organic and inorganic phosphorus (P-i and P-o) in the sediments of Lake Sha, China. The findings showed that organic matter in the sediments primarily originated from aquatic plants, bacteria, algae, and terrestrial plants, with particulate matter from terrestrial plants being an important source of phosphorus. The dominant form of phosphorus in the sediments was calcium-bonded phosphorus (Ca-P), which had low bioavailability. The distribution of Phragmites australis in the lake could lead to the transformation of Ca-P to bioavailable phosphorus. Analysis of the chemical composition revealed that bioavailable phosphorus in the overlying water mainly came from rapidly degrading diester P and labile monoester P in the sediments. Particulate matter from the Yellow River was identified as an important source of bioavailable P-i and P-o in Lake Sha.

Summary: This study identified the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and abdominal fat distribution in Chinese obese patients. The results showed that the abdominal visceral adipose deposit, but not the subcutaneous fat area, was associated with OSAS and was an independent risk factor for OSAS. Improving the distribution of abdominal fat may contribute to alleviating the severity of OSAS in obesity.

Summary: In the treatment of gastric variceal bleeding, ligation is more effective than gastric variceal obturation (GVO) in reducing the rebleeding rate and associated mortality. Independent predictors for rebleeding after initial treatment include the endoscopic treatment method, total bilirubin level, liver cancer, and diabetes. For mortality prediction, male sex, liver cancer, ascites, and rebleeding after initial treatment are independent predictors.

Summary: This study used data from NHANES to investigate the relationship between weight change patterns across adulthood and the risk of incident asthma later in life. The study found that individuals changing from non-obese to obese and those who were stably obese had significantly higher risks of incident asthma. Maintaining normal weight during adulthood may be important for preventing asthma in later life.

Summary: This study investigated the potential targets and molecular mechanism of naringenin (Nar) in treating high-glucose-induced vasculopathy. The results showed that Nar has anti-proliferation and anti-migration effects on vascular smooth muscle cells. The core targets of Nar were identified as vascular endothelial growth factor A, proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Src, and kinase insert domain receptor. The PI3K/Akt pathway was found to be involved in the protective effects of Nar. These findings suggest the potential of Nar in treating diabetic angiopathies.

Summary: In this study, the researchers identified BICD2 as a novel candidate gene associated with familial dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Through whole-exome sequencing and zebrafish models, they discovered an autosomal recessive missense variant in the BICD2 gene that correlated with the disease phenotype of DCM. Further investigation using the zebrafish models revealed that bicd2 knockout resulted in heart dilation and decreased cardiac function, resembling the phenotype of human DCM. Gene expression analysis also showed significant alterations in cardiac pathways and mitochondrial energy metabolism in bicd2-deficient fish.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.

The results showed that the multi-layer nanoemulsions significantly enhanced the cellular uptake and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol compared to free coumarin 6. Furthermore, the use of chitosan and dextran sulfate as wall materials in the multi-layer nanoemulsions led to even higher cellular uptake, in vitro bioaccessibility, and antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol.
