The association between dietary inflammatory index and bone health in US adolescents: Analysis of the NHANES data.

Introduction: Adolescents with a lower peak bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) have an elevated risk of osteoporosis in adulthood. The impact of diet on bone health, particularly its role in managing inflammation, which is a key factor in bone health, is gaining wider recognition. Despite evidence that anti-inflammatory diets can enhance bone health, the link between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and bone health among US adolescents has not been thoroughly investigated.

Testing the Purity of Cultures After Axenicity Treatments.

Contaminations are challenging for monocultures, as they impact the culture conditions and thus influence the growth of the target organism and the overall biomass composition. In phycology, axenic cultures comprising a single living species are commonly strived for both basic research and industrial applications, because contaminants reduce significance for analytic purposes and interfere with the safety and quality of commercial products. We aimed to establish axenic cultures of , known as the food additive "Spirulina".

Molecular Mechanism of N-Acetylcysteine Regulating Proliferation and Hormone Secretion of Granulosa Cells in Sheep.

Granulosa cells (GCs) are pivotal in the development of ovarian follicles, serving not only as supportive cells but also as the primary producers of steroid hormones. The proliferation of these cells and the synthesis of steroid hormones are crucial for follicular development and atresia. In our study, GCs were isolated using follicular fluid aspiration and subsequently identified through immunofluorescence.

Transformation processes of total suspended solids and dissolved organic matter in rivers: Influences of different land use sources and degradation processes.

The riverine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool constitutes the largest and most dynamic organic carbon reservoir within inland aquatic systems. Human activities significantly alter the distribution of organic matter (OM) in rivers, thereby affecting the availability of DOM. However, the impact of total suspended solids (TSS) on DOM under anthropogenic influence remains insufficiently elucidated.

[Qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical components of Dracocephalum moldavica based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and UPLC].

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to rapidly identify the chemical components in Dracocephalum moldavica, and UPLC was employed to determine the content of its main components. MS analysis was performed using an electrospray ionization(ESI) source and data were collected in the negative ion mode. By comparing the retention time and mass spectra of reference compounds, and using a self-built compound database and the PubChem database, 68 compounds were identified from D.
