Effects of as an Antibiotic Alternative on Growth Performance, Intestinal Morphology, Serum Biochemical Response, and Immunity of Broilers.

The current study aimed to investigate the effects of on growth performance, intestinal morphology, serum biochemical response, and immunity in broiler chickens. A total of 330 commercial one-day-old, mixed-sex Ross 308 broilers were randomly divided into five treatment groups with six replicates per group. The broilers were fed the basal diet (CON), the basal diet with 150 mg/kg of aureomycin (AM), the basal diet with at 2 × 10 CFU/kg (CBL), the basal diet with at 4 × 10 CFU/kg (CBM), and the basal diet with at 8 × 10 CFU/kg (CBH).

The Relationship of 25(OH)D with Diabetes Mellitus and the Mediation Effect of Lipid Profile in Chinese Rural Population of Henan Province.

: Studies suggest that vitamin D is involved in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and influences serum lipids levels, while lipid disorders are also closely related to T2DM. This study attempts to explore the complex relationship of serum 25(OH)D, serum lipids, and T2DM among Chinese population. : A cross-sectional study was carried out among 2326 subjects.

Synthesis of Difluoroalkylated Benzofuran, Benzothiophene, and Indole Derivatives via Palladium-Catalyzed Cascade Difluoroalkylation and Arylation of 1,6-Enynes.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of difluoroalkylated benzofuran, benzothiophene, and indole derivatives via palladium-catalyzed aryldifluoroalkylation of 1,6-enynes with ethyl difluoroiodoacetate and arylboronic acids has been established. High reaction efficiency, mild conditions, broad substrate scope, and good functional group tolerance are the features of this protocol. Notablely, the resultant products can be smoothly converted into CF-containing benzofurans, benzothiophenes and indoles through an isomerization process catalyzed by Fe(OTf).

Design and Development of a Novel Peptide for Treating Intestinal Inflammation.

Intestinal inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are associated with increased pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in the intestines. Furthermore, intestinal inflammation increases the risk of enteric cancer, which is a common malignancy globally. Native anti-inflammatory peptides are a class of anti-inflammatory agents that could be used in the treatment of several intestinal inflammation conditions.
