Impacts of intestinal microbiota metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide on cardiovascular disease: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite dependent on intestinal microbiota, is closely related to the emergence, progression, and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and has received increasing attention in recent years.

Objective: The current research hotspots and future development trends in TMAO and CVD field are found through bibliometrics analysis, which provides reference for further study.

Methods: The bibliometrics tools VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to analyze the publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database.

Pharmacological potential of natural medicine Astragali Radix in treating intestinal diseases.

Due to changes in diet and lifestyle, the prevalence of intestinal diseases has been increasing annually. Current treatment methods exhibit several limitations, including adverse reactions and drug resistance, necessitating the development of new, safe, and effective therapies. Astragali Radix, a natural medicine utilized for over two millennia, offers unique advantages in treating intestinal ailments due to its multi-component and multi-target properties.

Anchang Yuyang Decoction inhibits experimental colitis-related carcinogenesis by regulating PPAR signaling pathway and affecting metabolic homeostasis of host and microbiota.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presents a risk of carcinogenesis, which escalates with the duration of IBD. Persistent histological inflammation is considered to be the driving factor of colitis carcinogenesis. Effective control of inflammation is helpful to prevent and treat colitis-related colorectal cancer (CAC).

NiO nanoparticle-decorated SnO nanosheets for ethanol sensing with enhanced moisture resistance.

In a high relative humidity (RH) environment, it is challenging for ethanol sensors to maintain a high response and excellent selectivity. Herein, tetragonal rutile SnO nanosheets decorated with NiO nanoparticles were synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal process. The NiO-decorated SnO nanosheet-based sensors displayed a significantly improved sensitivity and excellent selectivity to ethanol gas.

Enhanced electrochemical properties of cerium metal-organic framework based composite electrodes for high-performance supercapacitor application.

Cerium metal-organic framework based composites (Ce-MOF/GO and Ce-MOF/CNT) were synthesized by a wet chemical route and characterized with different techniques to characterize their crystal nature, morphology, functional groups, and porosity. The obtained Ce-MOF in the composites exhibit a nanorod structure with a size of ∼150 nm. The electrochemical performance of the composites was investigated in 3 M KOH and 3 M KOH + 0.
