Background And Objectives: Although a reasonable diet is essential for promoting human health, precise nutritional regulation presents a challenge for different physiological conditions. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by recurrent abdominal pain and abnormal bowel habits, and diarrheal IBS (IBS-D) is the most common, seriously affecting patients' quality of life. Therefore, the implementation of precise nutritional interventions for IBS-D has become an urgent challenge in the fields of nutrition and food science.

Recently, reactive cobalt (Co) species, including Co(IV)-oxo and Co(II)-OOSO complexes, were proposed to be the primary intermediates formed during the process of activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) by Co(II), mainly based on the observation that the methyl phenyl sulfoxide (MPSO) probe was transformed to methyl phenyl sulfone (MPSO) in this process. However, in this work, we rationalized the results of the MPSO probe assay based on the chemistry of aqueous Co(III), an alternative reactive Co species. Moreover, O-labeled water experiments and Raman spectroscopy analysis clearly proved the Co(III) formation in the Co(II)/PMS system.

This study investigated the roles of diverse free available chlorine (FAC) species including HOCl/OCl, HOCl, ClO, and Cl in the degradation of micropollutants. The degradation of 5 micropollutants was significantly affected by pH, FAC dosage, and chloride (Cl) concentration. The reaction orders in FAC (n) of 5 micropollutants (acetaminophen, carbamazepine, naproxen, gemfibrozil, and mecoprop) ranged from 1.

TCIRG1, also known as V-ATPase-a3, is critical for cellular life activities through its dependent acidification. Prior to the present research, its relationship with prognostic and tumor immunity in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) had not yet been investigated. We assessed TCIRG1 expression in normal and tumor tissues using data from TCGA, GEO, GTEX, and IHC.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) remains a prevalent and common form of cancer with high heterogeneity. Making efforts to explore novel molecular biomarkers and serve as potential disease indicators, which is essential to effectively enhance the prognosis and individualized treatment of BC. FBXO proteins act as the core component of E3 ubiquitin ligase, which play essential regulators roles in multiple cellular processes.

Background: Plasmodium falciparum apical membrane antigen-1 (PfAMA-1) is a promising candidate antigen for a blood-stage malaria vaccine. However, antigenic variation and diversity of PfAMA-1 are still major problems to design a universal malaria vaccine based on this antigen, especially against domain I (DI). Detail understanding of the PfAMA-1 gene polymorphism can provide useful information on this potential vaccine component.
