Biodetoxification of both AFB1 and ZEN by Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 in gastrointestinal environment and in mice.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and zearalenone (ZEN) are the most prevalent mycotoxins in production, posing a serious threat to human and animal health. Therefore, it is very urgent to find a safe and efficient method for the biodegradation of these mycotoxins. Our previous study demonstrated that Bacillus subtilis ZJ-2019-1 moderately degrades both mycotoxins in vitro and ZEN in female gilts.

Association between socioeconomic status and the triglyceride glucose index: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2007-2016.

Background: The triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) is a crucial marker for assessing the risk of chronic diseases, while socioeconomic status (SES), measured by poverty income ratio (PIR) and education level, reflects an individual's social standing. Past studies have linked SES to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, but research on its association with the TyG index is limited. This study aimed to explore the association between SES and the TyG index and assess the mediating role of BMI.

Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembled Honeycomb Structure Flexible Pressure Sensor Array for Gait Analysis and Motion Posture Recognition with the Assistance of the ResNet-50 Neural Network.

With the rapid emergence of flexible electronics, flexible pressure sensors are of importance in various fields. In this study, a dopamine-modified melamine sponge (MS) was used to prepare a honeycomb structure of carbon black (CB)/MXene-silicone rubber (SR)@MS flexible pressure sensor (CMSM) through layer-by-layer self-assembly technology. Using SR as a binder to construct the honeycomb structure not only improves the mechanical properties of the sensor but also provides more attachment sites for CB/MXene, enhancing the stability of the conductive network.

Nationwide prediction of pesticide residual levels in soil: Implications on the resulting risk and prioritization framework.

Pesticides are widely accumulated in agricultural soils in China under successive applications, causing negative impacts on non-target species and environmental qualities. However, a nationwide overview of the residual levels of pesticides in soil, and the ecological risks to non-target soil species are lacking. In this study, we calculated geographically gridded concentrations of 107 pesticide active ingredients (AIs) in soils in China based on the Computational Pesticide Input (CPI) model and further assessed the ecological risks to soil biota.

Rehabilitation training robot using mirror therapy for the upper and lower limb after stroke: a prospective cohort study.

Background: This prospective cohort study was designed to investigate and compare the effectiveness of rehabilitation training robots versus conventional rehabilitation training on stroke survivors by monitoring alterations in brain network of stroke patients before and after robot intervention.

Methods: Between September 2020 and November 2021, stroke patients at four grade-A tertiary hospitals underwent limb rehabilitation training. Of the total of participants, 117 patients received conventional limb rehabilitation, 93 patients participated in upper-limb robot training, and 103 patients underwent lower-limb robot training.
