Roseihalotalea indica gen. nov., sp. nov., a halophilic Bacteroidetes from mesopelagic Southwest Indian Ocean with higher carbohydrate metabolic potential
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2024 Apr 12;117(1):66. doi: 10.1007/s10482-024-01965-x.ABSTRACTThe pink-colored and strictly aerobic bacterium strain, designated as TK19036T, was isolated from mesopelagic layer of the Southwest Indian Ocean. This novel isolate can grow at 10-45 °C (optimum, 30 °C), pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0), and 2-14% NaCl concentrations (w/v) (optimum, 6%). The predominant respiratory quinone was Menaquinone-7. Major polar lipid profiles contained two aminolipids, aminophospholipid, two glycolipids, phosphatidylethanolamine, and three unknown polar lipids. The preponderant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15:...

Unveiling the complexity of early childhood caries: < em > Candida albicans < /em > and < em > Streptococcus mutans < /em > cooperative strategies in carbohydrate metabolism and virulence
CONCLUSION: The symbiotic relationship between C. albicans and S. mutans, and their interactions through carbohydrate metabolism and environmental acidification, are key factors in the pathogenesis of ECC. A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms is crucial for developing effective strategies to manage and treat ECC.PMID:38606339 | PMC:PMC11008315 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2024.2339161 (Source: Journal of Oral Microbiology)

Substituting carbohydrate at lunch for added protein increases fat oxidation during subsequent exercise in healthy males
CONCLUSION: Substituting carbohydrate for protein in a pre-exercise lunch increased fat oxidation, suppressed subjective and hormonal appetite, and reduced post-exercise energy intake.PMID:38609167 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae237 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Observations of the effectiveness, dosage, and prognosis of intensity-modulated radiation therapy under ultrasonic guidance for cervical cancer patients
CONCLUSION: VMAT guided by ultrasound for patients with cervical cancer demonstrates promising short- and long-term treatment outcomes. It also leads to improvements in serum CEA, SCC-Ag, and CA724 levels, as well as reductions in the average radiation dosages to the radiotherapy target area, rectum, and bladder. This approach warrants attention from clinicians in clinical practice.PMID:38607778 | DOI:10.3233/THC-231977 (Source: Technology and Health Care)

Validating nutrient selection for product-group-specific nutrient indices for use as functional units in life cycle assessment of foods
Br J Nutr. 2024 Apr 12:1-23. doi: 10.1017/S0007114524000709. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ability to provide adequate nutrition is considered a key factor in evaluating the sustainability of foods and diets. Nutrient indices are used as functional units (FUs) in life cycle assessment of foods to include nutritional performance in the environmental assessment of a product. Several general and food group-specific nutrient indices exist but many lack validation, particularly when used as FU. In addition, the nutrient selection strategies and reference units for nutrient intake can vary considerably among studies. To vali...

Transcriptomic profiling analysis of the effect of palmitic acid on 3D spheroids of β-like cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells
Gene. 2024 Apr 10:148441. doi: 10.1016/j.gene.2024.148441. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 2 diabetes (T2D) is posing a serious public health concern with a considerable impact on human life and health expenditures worldwide. The disease develops when insulin plasma level is insufficient for coping insulin resistance, caused by the decline of pancreatic β-cell function and mass. In β-cells, the lipotoxicity exerted by saturated free fatty acids in particular palmitate (PA), which is chronically elevated in T2D, plays a major role in β-cell dysfunction and mass. However, there is a lack of human relevant in vitro mode...
