Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is one of the most severe respiratory disorders in preterm infants (PTIs) due to immature lung development. To delineate the serum metabolic alterations and gut microbiota variations in NRDS and assess their implications on neonatal development, we enrolled 13 NRDS neonates and 12 PTIs and collected fecal and serum specimens after birth. Longitudinal fecal sampling was conducted weekly for a month in NRDS neonates.

However, irisin has demonstrated beneficial effects on myocardial I/R injury, thus increasing interest in exploring its mechanism. Therefore, whether irisin interferes in gut microbiota and gut mucosal barrier during myocardial I/R injury was investigated in the present study.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between oral microbiota and its impact on oral health, specifically focusing on periodontitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Researchers collected samples from 112 individuals categorized into healthy controls, periodontitis patients, COPD patients, and those with both conditions, utilizing gene sequencing to analyze bacterial diversity.
- Key findings revealed distinct bacterial signatures for each group, with certain genera identified as potential biomarkers; also, differences in microbial pathways were highlighted, suggesting implications for future prediction and treatment strategies for these diseases.
A reliable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous determination of nine mycotoxins, i.e., aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), ochratoxin A (OTA), zearalenone (ZEN), T-2 toxin, HT2 toxin and deoxynivalenol (DON), in fresh fish (muscle and entrails) as well as dried seafoods.

Methods: The standard curve A was established by 10-fold diluted cDNA. The cDNA was reverse transcripted after RNA synthesized in vitro.
