Isolating, characterizing, and identifying gut microbes are crucial for research on the gut microbiome and essential for advancing our understanding and utilization of it. Although culture-independent approaches have been developed, a pure culture is required for in-depth analysis of disease mechanisms and the development of biotherapy strategies. Currently, microbiome research faces the challenge of expanding the existing database of culturable gut microbiota and rapidly isolating target microorganisms. This review examines the advancements in gut microbe isolation and cultivation techniques, such as culturomics, droplet microfluidics, phenotypic and genomics selection, and membrane diffusion. Furthermore, we evaluate the progress made in technology for identifying gut microbes considering both non-targeted and targeted strategies. The focus of future research in gut microbial culturomics is expected to be on high-throughput, automation, and integration. Advancements in this field may facilitate strain-level investigation into the mechanisms underlying diseases related to gut microbiota.展开更多

The questionnaire included a brief introduction of FMT that was followed by 20 questions. The participants were required to respond voluntarily, under the condition of anonymity and without compensation. Except for the fill-in-the-blank questions, all of the other questions were required in the REDcap data collection systems, and the emailed questionnaires were completed based on eligibility.RESULTS: Up to December 9, 2014, 844 eligible questionnaires were received out of the 980 distributed questionnaires, with a response rate of 86.1%. Among the participants, 87.3% were from tertiary hospitals, and there were 647(76.7%) gastroenterologists and 197(23.3%) physicians in other departments(nongastroenterologists). Gastroenterologists' awareness of FMT prior to the survey was much higher than non-gastroenterologists'(54.3 vs 16.5%, P < 0.001); however, acceptance of FMT was not statistically different(92.4 vs 87.1%, P = 0.1603). Major concerns of FMT included the following: acceptability to patients(79.2%), absence of guidelines(56.9%), and administration and ethics(46.5%). On the basis of understanding, the FMT indications preferred byphysicians were recurrent Clostridium difficile infection(86.7%), inflammatory bowel disease combined with Clostridium difficile infection(78.6%), refractory ulcerative colitis(70.9%), ulcerative colitis(65.4%), Crohn's disease(59.4%), chronic constipation(43.7%), irritable bowel syndrome(39.1%), obesity(28.1%) and type 2 diabetes(23.9%). For donor selection, the majority of physicians preferred individuals with a similar gut flora environment to the recipients. 76.6% of physicians chose lower gastrointestinal tract as the administration approach. 69.2% of physicians considered FMT a safe treatment. CONCLUSION: Chinese physicians have awareness and a high acceptance of FMT, especially gastroenterologists, which provides the grounds and conditions for the development of this novel treatment in China. Physicians' greatest concerns were patient acceptability and absence of guidelines.展开更多

Summary hazard ratios or odds ratios(ORs) with 95% confidence intervals(CIs) were calculated to estimate the effect. For the pooled analysis of the correlation between decreased Muc5 AC expression and clinicopathological characteristics(tumour invasion depth,lymph node metastasis,tumour-node-metastasis stage,tumour size,venous invasion and lymphatic invasion),ORs and their variance were combined to estimate the effect. RESULTS: Eleven retrospective cohort studies comprising 2135 patients were included to assess the association between Muc5 AC expression and overall survival and/or clinicopathological characteristics. Decreased Muc5 AC expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival of gastric cancer patients(pooled HR = 1.35,95%CI: 1.08-1.7). Moreover,decreased Muc5 AC expression was also significantly associated with tumour invasion depth(pooled OR =2.12,95%CI: 1.56-2.87) and lymph node metastasis(pooled OR = 1.56,95%CI: 1.00-2.44) in gastric cancer.CONCLUSION: Decreased Muc5 AC expression might be a poor prognostic predictor for gastric cancer.展开更多

文摘Propolis is a resinous complex mixture made from plant resins collected by worker bees and mixed with their own secretions.It is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids and thus has a wide range of biological activities and is considered a functional source for promoting human health.However,propolis and its bioactive compounds have poor water solubility,rapid and intense metabolism,and low oral bioavailability,which limits their wide application.In this paper,the main bioactive substances in propolis were summarized,and the biological characteristics and therapeutic potential of propolis and its bioactive substances were discussed.In addition,this paper discussed the factors affecting the bioavailability of propolis and its functional ingredients,focusing on the research progress in improving the bioavailability and bioactivity of propolis and its functional ingredients using nanoencapsulation technology.Finally,the current situation of the global propolis market and the applications of propolis products in the pharmaceutical,food,cosmetic and other industrial fields were discussed,providing useful references for promoting the development of the propolis industry.
文摘The gut microbiome is closely associated with human health and the development of diseases. Isolating, characterizing, and identifying gut microbes are crucial for research on the gut microbiome and essential for advancing our understanding and utilization of it. Although culture-independent approaches have been developed, a pure culture is required for in-depth analysis of disease mechanisms and the development of biotherapy strategies. Currently, microbiome research faces the challenge of expanding the existing database of culturable gut microbiota and rapidly isolating target microorganisms. This review examines the advancements in gut microbe isolation and cultivation techniques, such as culturomics, droplet microfluidics, phenotypic and genomics selection, and membrane diffusion. Furthermore, we evaluate the progress made in technology for identifying gut microbes considering both non-targeted and targeted strategies. The focus of future research in gut microbial culturomics is expected to be on high-throughput, automation, and integration.

文摘Weak interactions prevent the magnetic particles from achieving excellent electromagnetic wave absorp-tion(EMA)at a low filler loading(FL).The construction of one-dimensional magnetic metal fibers(1D-MMFs)contributes to the formation of an electromagnetic(EM)coupling network,enhancing EM properties at a low FL.However,precisely controlling the length of 1D-MMFs to regulate permittivity at low FL poses a challenge.Herein,a novel magnetic field-assisted growth strategy was used to fabricate Co-based fibers with adjustable permittivity and aspect ratios.With a variety of FL changes,centimeter-level Co long fibers(Co-lf)consistently exhibited higher permittivity than Co particles and Co short fibers due to the enhancement of the effective EM coupling.The Co-lf exhibits excellent EMA performance(-54.85 dB,5.8 GHz)at 10 wt.%FL.Meanwhile,heterogeneous interfaces were introduced to increase the interfacial polarization through a fine phosphorylation design,resulting in elevated EMA performances(-51.50 dB,6.6 GHz)at 10 wt.%FL for Co_(2)P/Co long fibers.This study improves the orderliness of the particle arrangement by regulating the length of 1D-MMFs,which affects the behavior of electrons inside the fibers,providing a new perspective for improving the EMA properties of magnetic materials at a low FL.

文摘The electron localization is considered as a promising approach to optimize electromagnetic waves(EMW)dissipation.However,it is still difficult to realize well-controlled electron localization and elucidate the related EMW loss mechanisms for current researches.In this study,a novel two-dimensional MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x))nanosheet decorated with Ni nanoclusters(Ni-NC)system to construct an effective electron localization model based on electronic orbital structure is explored.Theoretical simulations and experimental results reveal that the metal-support interaction between Ni-NC and MXene disrupts symmetric electronic environments,leading to enhanced electron localization and dipole polarization.Additionally,Ni-NC generate a strong interfacial electric field,strengthening heterointerface interactions and promoting interfacial polarization.As a result,the optimized material achieves an exceptional reflection loss(RLmin)of-54 dB and a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 6.8 GHz.This study offers critical insights into the in-depth relationship between electron localization and EMW dissipation,providing a pathway for electron localization engineering in functional materials such as semiconductors,spintronics,and catalysis.

文摘The preparation of large crystals is highly important for the characterization and application of a newly found structure but remains a challenge for one-dimensional(1D)C_(60) polymers.In this work,we successfully fabricated a 1D C_(60) polymer crystal via on-site annealing of a millimeter-sized C_(60) molecular crystal withα-Li_(3)N at 500°C and ambient pres�sure.Characterizations show that the C_(60) cages in the crystal have been efficiently connected,forming 1D chains along the<110>direction in an orthorhombic 3D structure.At the same time,the crystal maintains a morphology similar to that of the pristine C_(60)crystal,providing opportunities for characterization of all the facets of the crystal via Raman spectroscopy and thus suggesting the formation mechanism of such crystals.

文摘Inspired by the nature,lotus leaf-derived gradient hierarchical porous C/MoS2 morphology genetic composites(GHPCM)were successfully fabricated through an in situ strategy.The biological microstructure of lotus leaf was well preserved after treatment.Different pores with gradient pore sizes ranging from 300 to 5μm were hierarchically distributed in the composites.In addition,the surface states of lotus leaf resulted in the Janus-like morphologies of MoS2.The GHPCM exhibit excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance,with the minimum reflection loss of−50.1 dB at a thickness of 2.4 mm and the maximum effective bandwidth of 6.0 GHz at a thickness of 2.2 mm.The outstanding performance could be attributed to the synergy of conductive loss,polarization loss,and impedance matching.In particularly,we provided a brand-new dielectric sum-quotient model to analyze the electromagnetic performance of the non-magnetic material system.It suggests that the specific sum and quotient of permittivity are the key to keep reflection loss below−10 dB within a certain frequency range.Furthermore,based on the concept of material genetic engineering,the dielectric constant could be taken into account to seek for suitable materials with designable electromagnetic absorption performance.

文摘AIM: To explore Chinese physicians' perceptions towards fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT) and to provide information and an assessment of FMT development in China.METHODS: A self-administered questionnaire was developed according to the FMT practice guidelines and was distributed to physicians in hospitals via Internet Research Electronic Data Capture(REDcap) software and electronic mails to assess their attitudes toward and knowledge of FMT. The questionnaire included a brief introduction of FMT that was followed by 20 questions. The participants were required to respond voluntarily, under the condition of anonymity and without compensation. Except for the fill-in-the-blank questions, all of the other questions were required in the REDcap data collection systems, and the emailed questionnaires were completed based on eligibility.RESULTS: Up to December 9, 2014, 844 eligible questionnaires were received out of the 980 distributed questionnaires, with a response rate of 86.1%. Among the participants, 87.3% were from tertiary hospitals, and there were 647(76.7%) gastroenterologists and 197(23.3%) physicians in other departments(nongastroenterologists). Gastroenterologists' awareness of FMT prior to the survey was much higher than non-gastroenterologists'(54.3 vs 16.5%, P < 0.001); however, acceptance of FMT was not statistically different(92.4 vs 87.1%, P = 0.1603). Major concerns of FMT included the following: acceptability to patients(79.2%), absence of guidelines(56.9%), and administration and ethics(46.5%). On the basis of understanding, the FMT indications preferred byphysicians were recurrent Clostridium difficile infection(86.7%), inflammatory bowel disease combined with Clostridium difficile infection(78.6%), refractory ulcerative colitis(70.9%), ulcerative colitis(65.4%), Crohn's disease(59.4%), chronic constipation(43.7%), irritable bowel syndrome(39.1%), obesity(28.1%) and type 2 diabetes(23.9%). For donor selection, the majority of physicians preferred individuals with a similar gut flora environment to the recipients. 76.6% of physicians chose lower gastrointestinal tract as the administration approach. 69.2% of physicians considered FMT a safe treatment. CONCLUSION: Chinese physicians have awareness and a high acceptance of FMT, especially gastroenterologists, which provides the grounds and conditions for the development of this novel treatment in China. Physicians' greatest concerns were patient acceptability and absence of guidelines.

文摘The rational construction of microstructure and composition with enhanced Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars effect(MWSE)is still a challenging direction for reinforcing electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption performance,and the related EMW attenuation mechanism has rarely been elucidated.Herein,MWSE boostedβ-chitin/carbon nano-onions/Ni–P composites is prepared according to the heterointerface engineering strategy via facile layer-by-layer electrostatic assembly and electroless plating techniques.The heterogeneous interface is reinforced from the aspect of porous skeleton,nanomaterials and multilayer construction.The composites exhibit competitive EMW response mechanism between the conductive loss and the polarization/magnetic loss,as describing like the story of“The Hare and the Tortoise”.As a result,the composites not only achieve a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−50.83 dB and an effective bandwidth of 6.8 GHz,but also present remarkable EMW interference shielding effectiveness of 66.66 dB.In addition,diverse functions such as good thermal insulation,infrared shielding and photothermal performance were also achieved in the hybrid composites as a result of intrinsic morphology and chemicophysics properties.Therefore,we believe that the boosted MWSE open up a novel orientation toward developing multifunctional composites with high-efficient EMW response and thermal management.

文摘Electromagnetic cooperative strategy has been presented as a mainstream approach that can effectively optimize the matching thickness of dielectric loss dominant system.However,it is still challenging for dielectric–magnetic loss coexisting-type absorber to develop electromagnetic wave(EMW)performance with ultra-low matching thickness(≤1 mm).Breaking the limitation of traditional electromagnetic response at microscopic/mesoscopic scale,a ficus microcarpa-like magnetic aerogel with macroscopical electromagnetic cooperative effect was fabricated through highly oriented self-assembly engineering.The highly oriented Ni chains with unique macroscopic morphology(~1 cm in length)were achieved via a special magnetic field-induced growth.Strong magnetic coupling was observed in the Ni chains confirmed by the micromagnetic simulation.The deductive calculation validates that maintaining high value of electromagnetic parameters at high frequencies is the prerequisites of ultrathin absorber.The electromagnetic cooperative networks with uninterrupted and dual pathways spread through the entire aerogel skeleton,resulting in the impressive permittivity even at high frequencies.Consequently,the aerogel exhibits a remarkable EMW performance at an ultrathin thickness of 1 mm.Thus,based on the modulation of electromagnetic parameters,this work proposed a macroscopic ordered structure with the electromagnetic cooperative effect useful to develop a suitable strategy for achieving ultrathin EMW absorbers.

文摘Heteroatomic substitution and vacancy engineering of spinel oxides can theoretically optimize the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)through charge redistribution and d-band center modification but still remain a great challenge in both the preparation and catalytic mechanism.Herein,we proposed a novel and efficient Ar-plasma(P)-assisted strategy to construct heteroatom Mo-substituted and oxygen vacancies enriched hierarchical spinel Co_(3)O_(4)porous nanoneedle arrays in situ grown on carbon cloth(denoted P-Mo-Co_(3)O_(4)@CC)to improve the OER performance.Ar-plasma technology can efficiently generate vacancy sites at the surface of hydroxide,which induces the anchoring of Mo anion salts through electrostatic interaction,finally facilitating the substitution of Mo atoms and the formation of oxygen vacancies on the Co_(3)O_(4)surface.The P-Mo-Co_(3)O_(4)@CC affords a low overpotential of only 276 mV at 10 mA cm^(−2)for the OER,which is 58 mV superior to that of Mo-free Co_(3)O_(4)@CC and surpasses commercial RuO_(2)catalyst.The robust stability and satisfactory selectivity(nearly 100%Faradic efficiency)of P-Mo-Co_(3)O_(4)@CC for the OER are also demonstrated.Theoreti-cal studies demonstrate that Mo with variable valance states can efficiently regulates the atomic ratio of Co^(3+)/Co^(2+)and increases the number of oxygen vacancies,thereby inducing charge redistribution and tuning the d-band center of Co_(3)O_(4),which improve the adsorption energy of oxygen intermediates(e.g.,*OOH)on P-Mo-Co_(3)O_(4)@CC during OER.Furthermore,the two-electrode OER//HER electrolyzer equipped with P-Mo-Co_(3)O_(4)@CC as anode displays a low operation potential of 1.54 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm^(−2),and also exhibits good reversibility and anticurrent fluctuation ability under simulated real energy supply conditions,demonstrating the great potential of P-Mo-Co_(3)O_(4)@CC in water electrolysis.

文摘Considering a series of electromagnetic pollution problems brought by the development of electronic communication technology,more attention has been paid to the research of electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials with unique composition and structure.Herein,under the inspiration of mixeddimensional hierarchical structure,2D Ni_(2)P nanosheets anchored on 1D silk-derived carbon fiber is successfully fabricated as a gratifying resistor-dielectric type absorber.By a controllable pyrolyzation strategy and disproportionated reaction,high-density 2D Ni_(2)P nanosheets were grown vertically and cross-linked on the surface of 1D silk-derived carbon fiber.The sample exhibited superior EMW absorption performance with maximum reflection loss value of–56.9 d B at the thickness of 2.32 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth can reach to 7.2 GHz at the thickness of 1.93 mm.In addition,the pure Ni_(2)P shows remarkable dielectric characteristic and EMW absorption ability as well.The integration of dualconductive loss,enhanced polarization relaxation loss and the multiple scattering in the composites was proved to contribute to the good EMW absorption performance.Therefore,this work confirms the great potentials of Ni_(2)P as a high-efficient EMW absorbing materials and light a new way in construction of multidimensional absorber.

文摘AIM: To assess the correlation between decreased Muc5 AC expression and patients' survival and clinicopathological characteristics by conducting a metaanalysis.METHODS: Literature searches were performed in Pub Med and EMBASE,and 11 studies met our criteria. Summary hazard ratios or odds ratios(ORs) with 95% confidence intervals(CIs) were calculated to estimate the effect. For the pooled analysis of the correlation between decreased Muc5 AC expression and clinicopathological characteristics(tumour invasion depth,lymph node metastasis,tumour-node-metastasis stage,tumour size,venous invasion and lymphatic invasion),ORs and their variance were combined to estimate the effect. RESULTS: Eleven retrospective cohort studies comprising 2135 patients were included to assess the association between Muc5 AC expression and overall survival and/or clinicopathological characteristics. Decreased Muc5 AC expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival of gastric cancer patients(pooled HR = 1.35,95%CI: 1.08-1.7). Moreover,decreased Muc5 AC expression was also significantly associated with tumour invasion depth(pooled OR =2.12,95%CI: 1.56-2.87) and lymph node metastasis(pooled OR = 1.56,95%CI: 1.00-2.44) in gastric cancer.CONCLUSION: Decreased Muc5 AC expression might be a poor prognostic predictor for gastric cancer.

文摘Colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC)is defined as a specific cluster of colorectal cancers that develop as a result of prolonged colitis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).Patients with IBD,including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease,are known to have an increased risk of developing CAC.Although the incidence of CAC has significantly decreased over the past few decades,individuals with CAC have increased mortality compared to individuals with sporadic colorectal cancer,and the incidence of CAC increases with duration.Chronic inflammation is generally recognized as a major contributor to the pathogenesis of CAC.CAC has been shown to progress from colitis to dysplasia and finally to carcinoma.Accumulating evidence suggests that multiple immune-mediated pathways,DNA damage pathways,and pathogens are involved in the pathogenesis of CAC.Over the past decade,there has been an increasing effort to develop clinical approaches that could help improve outcomes for CAC patients.Colonoscopic surveillance plays an important role in reducing the risk of advanced and interval cancers.It is generally recommended that CAC patients undergo endoscopic removal or colectomy.This review summarizes the current understanding of CAC,particularly its epidemiology,mechanisms,and management.It focuses on the mechanisms that contribute to the development of CAC,covering advances in genomics,immunology,and the microbiome;presents evidence for management strategies,including endoscopy and colectomy;and discusses new strategies to interfere with the process and development of CAC.These scientific findings will pave the way for the management of CAC in the near future.

文摘Two kinds of novel sulfhydryl functionalized covalent organic frameworks were fabricated as adsorbents for the removal of ultra-trace concentrations of Hg^(2+)from water.The two kinds of sulfhydryl functionalized covalent organic frameworks were obtained via a thiol-ene click reaction between the thiol groups of trithiocyanuric acid(TTC)or bismuththiol(BMT)and vinyl groups on the surface of covalent organic frameworks.The material structure was characterized by XRD,SEM,EDS,FT-IR,BET,and TG analysis.Due to their rich sulfur content,both adsorbents(COF-SH-1 and COF-SH-2)exhibited a high level of selective Hg^(2+)removal from aqueous solution with maximum adsorption capacities of 763.4 mg g^(-1) and526.3 mg g^(-1),respectively.Furthermore,in the presence of ultra-low concentrations of Hg^(2+)both materials exhibited excellent performance,achieving rapid Hg^(2+)removal at concentrations from 10μg L^(-1) to less than 0.02 ng L^(-1).Analysis of the adsorption mechanism indicates that the sulfur containing chelating groups exhibit a strong binding capacity for Hg^(2+).Results show that the structure determines the performance,with the amount of adsorption sites being related to the adsorption capacity.Therefore,as sulfhydryl functionalized covalent organic frameworks contain an abundance of adsorption sites,these materials can effectively achieve the removal of ultra-low trace Hg^(2+)concentrations and have promising future application potential for the environmental detection of heavy metals.

文摘Objective: Human induced pluripotent stem(i PS) cells exhibit great potential for generating functional human cells for medical therapies. In this paper, we report for use of human i PS cells labeled with fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles(FMNPs) for targeted imaging and synergistic therapy of gastric cancer cells in vivo. Methods: Human i PS cells were prepared and cultured for 72 h. The culture medium was collected, and then was coincubated with MGC803 cells. Cell viability was analyzed by the MTT method. FMNP-labeled human i PS cells were prepared and injected into gastric cancer-bearing nude mice. The mouse model was observed using a small-animal imaging system. The nude mice were irradiated under an external alternating magnetic field and evaluated using an infrared thermal mapping instrument. Tumor sizes were measured weekly. Results: iP S cells and the collected culture medium inhibited the growth of MGC803 cells. FMNP-labeled human iP S cells targeted and imaged gastric cancer cells in vivo, as well as inhibited cancer growth in vivo through the external magnetic field. Conclusion: FMNP-labeled human i PS cells exhibit considerable potential in applications such as targeted dual-mode imaging and synergistic therapy for early gastric cancer.

文摘Electrical double-layer capacitors are widely concerned for their high power density,long cycling life and high cycling efficiency.However,their wide application is limited by their low energy density.In this study,we propose a simple yet environmental friendly method to synthesize cobalt and nitrogen atoms co-doped porous carbon(CoAT-NC) material.Cobalt atoms connected with primarily pyridinic nitrogen atoms can be uniformly dispersed in the amorphous carbon matrix,which is benefit for improving electrical conductivity and density of states of the carbon material.Therefore,an enhanced perfo rmance is expected when CoAT-NC is served as electrode in a supercapacitor device.CoAT-NC displays a good gravimetric capacitance of 160 F/g at 0.5 A/g combing with outstanding capacitance retention of 90% at an extremely high current density of 100 A/g in acid electrolyte.Furthermore,a good energy density of 30 Wh/kg can be obtained in the organic electrolyte.
