Intermittent fasting inhibits platelet activation and thrombosis through the intestinal metabolite indole-3-propionate.

Platelet hyperreactivity contributes significantly to thrombosis in acute myocardial infarction and stroke. While antiplatelet drugs are used, residual ischemic risk remains. Intermittent fasting (IF), a dietary pattern characterized by alternating periods of eating and fasting, has shown cardiovascular benefits, but its effect on platelet activation is unclear.

Efficient energy transfer from organic triplet states to Mn dopants for dynamic tunable multicolor afterglow in 1D hybrid cadmium chloride.

Metal ion-doped organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have emerged as promising room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials owing to their tunable afterglow properties and significant potential in information security applications. However, optimizing RTP performance and achieving dynamic control over afterglow colors remain challenging in 1D hybrid systems, primarily because of the inefficient energy transfer from RTP-active organic components to external emissive sites. Herein, we report a novel 1D hybrid metal halide benchmark material, [(NBP)CdClHO] (NBP-Cd, NBP = -benzylpiperidone), and a series of Mn-doped derivatives, NBP-Cd:Mn (where represents doping levels from 1% to 50%).

Study on Salt-Frost Damage Durability of High-Performance Concrete with Polypropylene Fiber.

The durability of marine structures in the northern coastal areas is significantly damaged due to the double deterioration of chloride salt and freeze-thaw, and adding fiber can effectively improve the durability of marine structures. This work investigated the influence of polypropylene fiber content and salt freezing cycles on the flexural strength and durability of high-performance concrete through salt freezing cycle tests. The main experimental methods used included four-point load bending tests, relative dynamic elastic modulus tests, mass loss rate tests, and chloride ion permeability tests, with the mechanisms analyzed using SEM.

Research on the Modification Process of Jute Fiber as a Strengthening Material for the Structure of Solidification Substrate.

Substrate is the key material of soilless culture. The physical and chemical properties of the solidified cultivation medium are good and relatively stable, and there is no need to use plastic cultivation containers in the cultivation process, which has a broad application prospect in three-dimensional greening and fruit and vegetable planting. We have developed a novel substrate solidified process with high-frequency electromagnetic heating, which significantly reduces energy consumption compared to the traditional curing process with steam heating.

The association between the dietary index for gut microbiota and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis: evidence from NHANES 2017-2020.

Background: Imbalance in the gut microbiota is a key factor in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis. The Dietary Index for Gut Microbiota (DI-GM) integrates the potential relationship between diet and gut microbiota diversity. This study aims to investigate the association between DI-GM and the risk of NAFLD and liver fibrosis, providing theoretical support for dietary intervention strategies.
