Article Abstract
Combination of dietary flavonoid-baicalein and acarbose reduces the risk that prediabetes will develop into type 2 diabetes mellitus; however, the mechanism underlying this effect has not been clarified. In this study, the in vitro culture conditions of intestinal microorganisms from prediabetic mice were optimized to increase over 30% similarity between in vitro cultured and fecal samples. Baicalein and acarbose alone and in combination, and their corresponding starch hydrolysate were assayed by the in vitro model. The results indicated that the combination of baicalein with acarbose decreased gas production by reducing the residual starch ratio in starch hydrolysate and decreasing the dosage of acarbose, and that reducing the relative abundance of gut bacteria correlated with gas production is the main mechanism. This study provided a theoretical foundation for the development of flavonoid dietary supplements to enhance the efficacy of oral hypoglycemic agents with fewer side effects and higher efficacy.

Bariatric Surgery and Incident Development of Obesity-Related Comorbidities.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.
Histologic Chorioamnionitis and Neurodevelopment in Preterm Infants.
JAMA Netw Open
September 2025
Perinatal Institute, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Importance: Exposure to inflammation from chorioamnionitis places the fetus at higher risk of premature birth and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairments, though the evidence for the latter is mixed.
Objective: To evaluate whether moderate to severe histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) is directly associated with adverse motor performance, independent of the indirect mediating effects of premature birth.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective, population-based cohort study recruited participants between September 16, 2016, and November 19, 2019, from referral and nonreferral neonatal intensive care units of 5 southwestern Ohio hospitals.
Essentials of the System of Radiological Protection.
J Radiol Prot
September 2025
Centre for Radiation Protection Research, Stockholm University, Svante Arrheniusväg 20C, 106 91 Stockholm, Sweden.
The System of Radiological Protection (the "System") developed by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) is built on nearly a century of efforts of numerous scientists and practitioners working together internationally. It rests on three enduring pillars: science, ethics, and experience. These pillars support the three fundamental principles that shape radiological protection strategies: justification, optimisation, and application of dose limits.

Patient
September 2025
PPD Evidera Patient-Centered Research, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA.
Background: Migraine care is often suboptimal owing to undertreatment, variation in clinical outcomes and administration methods among existing treatments, and between- and within-individual heterogeneity in the clinical course of migraine. In response to these challenges, preference studies have been increasingly conducted to inform treatment decision-making and development. However, gaps remain in understanding how treatment preferences have been assessed across different migraine studies.

J Biomol NMR
September 2025
Department of Structural Biology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, 38105, USA.
Biomolecular dynamics in the microsecond-to-millisecond (µs-ms) timescale are linked to various biological functions, such as enzyme catalysis, allosteric regulation, and ligand recognition. In solution state NMR, Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) relaxation dispersion experiments are commonly used to probe µs-ms timescale motions, providing detailed kinetic, thermodynamic, and mechanistic information at the atomic level. For investigating conformational dynamics in high-molecular-weight biomolecules, methyl groups serve as ideal probes due to their favorable relaxation properties, and C CPMG relaxation dispersion is widely employed for characterizing dynamics in selectively CH-labeled samples.
