Article Abstract
Studies on compost dissolved organic matter (DOM) previously focus on its composition and humification, without considering DOM bioavailability to understand compost fertility. To decipher the fertility basis of compost, DOM bioavailability in thermophilic compost (TC) and vermicompost (VC) was investigated and linked with its molecular composition. Results showed that DOM bioavailability of VC (36 % BDOC) was generally higher than that of TC (22 % BDOC) due to containing more tannin-like substances. Inversely, only lipid-/carbohydrate-/protein-like substances contributed to DOM bioavailability in TC. Moreover, these differences of bioavailability expanded with C/N decreased in composting materials. Specifically, the %BDOC of VC with N-rich materials (C/N < 25) was 2.1-3.0 times higher than that in TC, while it was only 1.2-1.4 times for C-rich materials (C/N < 25), because N-surplus facilitated the formation of O-/N-containing aromatics (e.g., CHON and tannin) in VC, but inhibited the decomposition of organic materials into small bioactive molecules in TC.

This review examines the chemical and ecological interactions between filter-feeding mussels and the green macroalga Ulva prolifera in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems. Mussels are crucial for nutrient recycling, as they filter water and release bioavailable compounds such as ammonium (NH), urea (CO(NH)), and dissolved organic matter (DOM). These compounds promote Ulva growth and enhance microbial activity.

Small cascade dams drive spatial divergence in the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in local sediments. Taking Xixi River in the southeast of China, a representative small cascade-dammed watershed, as an example, this study explored the spatial variations of DOM components and its interactions with microbial communities under the influence of cascade dams. Results revealed that DOM composition differed significantly, i.

Aims: To characterise the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of an oral insulin formulation (ORMD-0801) in healthy subjects.
Materials And Methods: In this phase I hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp study with open-label, randomised, crossover design, 20 healthy Chinese male subjects were randomised to receive either oral ORMD-0801 (8 or 16 mg), followed by subcutaneous (SC) insulin (5 IU, Tianmailin®) or vice versa. PK and PD parameters were evaluated by assessing changes in plasma insulin levels and glucose infusion rate (GIR) during an 11-h clamp procedure.

The aim of this study was to develop and characterize nanoemulsions stabilized with microbial exopolysaccharide (EPS) (NE) and explore their performance in encapsulating β-carotene (βC-NE), in addition to evaluating their proliferative effects and uptake colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). βC-NE was obtained by ultrasonic homogenization followed by encapsulation of 0.1 % (w/v) β-carotene dispersed in the oil phase and was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR), and observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising alternatives owing to their broad-spectrum activity and reduced potential for resistance. Recent advances have highlighted the role of peptide self-assembly in enhancing the stability, bioavailability, and efficacy of AMPs. Through non-covalent interactions, self-assembly enables the formation of nanostructures, including nanofibers, nanotubes, and micelles.
