Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by irreversible destruction of pancreatic parenchyma, inflammatory cell infiltration and progressive fibrosis of pancreatic tissue. Obstruction of pancreatic duct by pancreatic stone is the common pathological change in the course of CP with the incidence of over 50 % at the diagnosis of CP. These ductal stones would cause pancreatic parenchymal hypertension and local ischemia, which was eventually followed by recurrent episodes of painful pancreatitis or other manifestations of pancreatic exocrine and endocrine insufficiency.

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) hydrolyzes circulating triglycerides (TGs), releasing fatty acids (FA) and promoting lipid storage in white adipose tissue (WAT). However, the mechanisms regulating adipose LPL and its relationship with the development of hypertriglyceridemia are largely unknown. WAT from obese humans exhibited high PAR2 expression, which was inversely correlated with the LPL gene.

The presence of estrogens residues in dairy products is a growing concern due to their potential health risk. Herein, in this study, we have developed a membrane-protected magnetic solid-phase extraction (MP-MSPE) method that utilized a magnetic adsorbent (FeO@COF-LZU1) with in-situ growth for the efficient extraction of estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2), and estriol (E3). When combined with HPLC-FLD, this method allows for the efficient detection of estrogens in dairy products.

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) has been recommended as the preferred method for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, at present, the patient-related factors for the poor PERT management are not clear, and there are no studies on the adherence to PERT in patients with CP in East China. This was a mixed-method study following the principle of sequential explanatory design and included two parts: a quantitative and qualitative study.

In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including Fe-MIL-101 and Ti-MIL-125 were prepared and fixed on the melamine foam (MF) by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to prepare MF/PVDF/MOFs, which was used as adsorbents in pipette-tip solid-phase extraction (PT-SPE) for rapid extraction of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs). Then, a gas chromatograph-flame thermionic detector (GC-FTD) was used for simultaneous analysis of Dimethoate (DMT), Iprobenfos (IBF), Parathion-methyl (PAM), and Chlorpyrifos (CPF). The morphology, crystal structure, and functional groups of MF/PVDF/MOFs were characterized, indicating that Ti-MIL-125 and Fe-MIL-101 were successfully synthesized and distributed on MF.

Article Synopsis
  • Insulin resistance (IR) has a non-inflammatory mechanism linked to high fat intake, specifically through the loss of a protein called Pref-1 from adipose tissue.
  • * Pref-1 normally inhibits the release of a factor called MIF, which contributes to insulin resistance when Pref-1 levels are low, especially after consuming high palmitic acid.
  • * Treatment with Pref-1 can help reduce the increase in MIF levels and, consequently, lessen the insulin resistance caused by high fat diets.

Emerging evidence from animal and human studies has suggested that small microbial metabolites generated in the gut influence host mood and behavior. Our previous study reported that patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) reduced the abundance of genera Blautia and Eubacterium, the microbials critically regulating cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in the gut. In this study, we further demonstrated that the levels of plasma bile acid chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) were significantly lower in Chinese MDD patients (142) than in healthy subjects (148).

The prevalence of childhood obesity in China has recently become increasingly severe, and intervention measures are needed to stop its growth. Currently, there is a lack of assessment and prediction methods for childhood obesity. We develop a predictive model that uses currently measured predictors [gender, age, urban/rural, height and body mass index (BMI)] to quantify children's probabilities of belonging to one of four BMI category 5 years later and identify the high-risk group for possible intervention.
