... Notably, the relative abundance of Ruminiclostridium_6 demonstrated a positive correlation with lymphosin-α and IL-17, and a negative correlation with BW change, suggesting its potential as an indicator of colitis progression [36]. Our results also identified a strong positive correlation between Escherichia_Shigella and pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17 and IFN-γ, which aligns with previous studies highlighting the pathogenic nature of Escherichia_Shigella in colitic mice [37]. The reduction in the relative abundance of Escherichia_Shigella and downregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines following L. plantarum treatment underscores its therapeutic potential, which is consistent with other studies demonstrating the beneficial effects of L. plantarum in decreasing gut pathogenic bacteria and mitigating inflammatory responses [38,39]. ...

... Specific bacterial genera have been identified to influence bone cell activities, particularly osteoclastogenesis (the formation of osteoclasts) and osteoblast activity (bone-forming cells) [8,[54][55][56]. For instance, Lactobacillus strains have been shown to inhibit osteoclast differentiation by reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-1β, which are critical for osteoclast formation [57,58]. Additionally, Limosilactobacillus reuteri ( L. reuteri) maintains the Wnt signaling pathway, essential for osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, thereby promoting bone formation [59,60]. ...

... Many recent studies have confirmed the ability of lactic acid bacteria, especially the genera Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, to break down oxalates to format and CO 2 [5,6]. Qin et al. [7] reported isolating four [8] indicated that Lb. acidophilus bacteria degraded oxalates in industrially prepared gastric fluid by 48%. The present investigation aimed to identify species of lactic acid bacteria from human sources and fermented foods and study their ability to degrade oxalates in vetro ...

... Smart sensors and Internet of Things devices are driving this paradigm shift, enabling real-time tracking and data collection throughout the food production and distribution process. Conventional detection methods, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), are hindered by extensive sample preparation, high costs, and lengthy detection times, limiting their broad applications (Abid et al. 2024;Gao et al. 2024;G. Jiang et al. 2024). ...

... Low albumin levels may increase the risk of infection and systemic inflammation, potentially leading to organ dysfunction in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Additionally, hypoalbuminemia can impair vascular endothelial cell function and increase capillary permeability, further contributing to the risk of UGIB [39]. Additionally, elevated total bilirubin (TBIL) exacerbates hepatic dysfunction, aggravates portal hypertension, and impairs coagulation, all of which contribute to UGIB and increase the risk of variceal rupture and mucosal injury [40]. ...

... Figure 4 determine their technological applications. For example, xyloglucan obtained by soaking seeds as a decorticate method can be used in pharmaceutical products with low viscosity (ophthalmological and nasal formulations) [8,69], as well as a thickening agent in juices and nectars [70]. On the other hand, xyloglucan from roasted seeds is adequate in film and coating development and as an excipient in gel formulation [71,72]. ...

... In addition, the suppression of α-glucosidase activities by polyphenols is primarily due to the establishment of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between these enzymes and the polyphenolic compounds [23]. The number of hydrogen bonds is pivotal in inhibiting the catalytic ability of the enzyme [46]. As shown in Figure 4, at the active site of α-glucosidase, 3,4-diCQA formed seven hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues Ser241, Asp242, Gln279, His280, Asp307, and Asp352 (Figure 4(A4)); 3,5-diCQA, rutin, and 4,5-diCQA formed three hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues (Figure 4(B4-D4)); and 3-CQA formed nine hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues Asn259, Thr274, Thr290, His295, Glu296, Ser298, and Asp341 (Figure 4(E4)). ...
