Multi-omics analyses the effect of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BL21 supplementation on overweight and obese subjects: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Background: Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum BL21 has demonstrated promise in alleviating gut microbiota disturbances and metabolic regulation in high-fat diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus models. However, the effect of probiotic B.

Effect of BC99 supplementation on body weight and gut microbiota in overweight and obese individual: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Introduction: Probiotic supplementation is a safe and effective way to reduce overweight and obesity by regulating the gut microbiota. The strain BC99 is derived from humans and has various probiotic-related, acid resistance, bile salt resistance, and adhesion-related domains in the genome. This study aimed to assess the effects of BC99 on the gut microbiota, body weight and lipid profiles of overweight and obese individuals.

Chemiluminescence sensing for Hg in environment water using carbon materials from PVC dechlorination as signal initiator.

Chemiluminescence (CL) sensing with good performance remains a challenge. The utilization of secondary residues from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) treatment is the key to improve PVC recycling rate. Herein, dechlorinated carbon materials from PVC/iron scrap co-treatment in subcritical water were used as CL sensing element.

Designing Phenyl Porous Organic Polymers with High-Efficiency Tetracycline Adsorption Capacity and Wide pH Adaptability.

Adsorption is an effective method to remove tetracycline (TC) from water, and developing efficient and environment-friendly adsorbents is an interesting topic. Herein, a series of novel phenyl porous organic polymers (P-POPs), synthesized by one-pot polymerization of different ratios of biphenyl and triphenylbenzene under AlCl catalysis in CHCl, was studied as a highly efficient adsorbent to removal of TC in water. Notably, the obtained POPs possessed abundant phenyl-containing functional groups, large specific surface area (1098 m/g) with abundant microporous structure, high pore volume (0.

Evaluation of riparian condition of Songhua River by integration of remote sensing and field measurements.

Riparian zone is crucial to the health of streams and their surrounding environment. Evaluation of riparian condition is essential to achieve and maintain good stream health, as well as to sustain ecological functions that riparian areas provide. This manuscript is aimed to evaluate riparian conditions of Songhua River, the fifth longest river in China, using physical structural integrality (PSI) values derived from remote sensing and validated by field measurements.
