A prospective 1-year follow-up study in ear, nose, and throat (ENT) cancer patients was carried out one year after radiotherapy to assess the effect of varying consumption of ω3 fatty acid according to whether they consumed more or less than the 50th percentile of ω3 fatty acids. Clinical, analytical, inflammatory (CRP and IL-6), and oxidative variables (TAC, GPx, GST, and SOD) were evaluated. The study comprised 31 patients (87.1% men), with a mean age of 61.3 ± 9.1 years. Hematological variables showed significant differences in the patients with a lower consumption of ω3 fatty acids. A lower mortality and longer survival were found in the group with ω3 fatty acid consumption ≥50th percentile but the differences were not significant. No significant difference was reached in toxicity, inflammation, and oxidative stress markers. The group with ω3 fatty acid consumption <50th percentile significantly experienced more hematological and immune changes.

sp. nov., a chemolithoautotrophic sulphur-oxidizing and nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from freshwater.

A sulphur-oxidizing and nitrogen-fixing bacterium, designated strain LS2, was isolated from freshwater collected from the Pearl River in Guangzhou, PR China. The strain was an obligate chemolithoautotroph, utilizing reduced sulphur compounds (sulphide, sulphite, elemental sulphur, thiosulphate and tetrathionate) as energy sources and electron donors. Diazotrophic growth of strain LS2 was observed at 15-40 °C, pH 5-9, with a NaCl concentration range of 0-0.

Lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) are emerging as a new and natural product with pharmacological and nutraceutical potential. It is uncertain, however, whether LCCs have a positive effect on the microbiota of the gut based on the current evidence. Here, the LCC extracted from beechwood (BW-LCC) was used as a substrate for in vitro fermentation.

This study integrated metagenomics and metabolomics to evaluate the effects of diets with different starch sources on the microbial community, metabolic functions, and resultant metabolites in the cecum of finishing pigs. In this study, 48 crossbred growing barrows were randomly allocated to 2 treatment groups with eight replicate pens of 3 pigs each. Pigs were fed a tapioca starch (TS) diet or a pea starch (PS) diet (the ratio between amylose and amylopectin of the two diets were 0.

Copper radical alcohol oxidases (CRO-AlcOx), which have been recently discovered among fungal phytopathogens, are attractive for the production of fragrant fatty aldehydes. With the initial objective to investigate the secretion of CRO-AlcOx by natural fungal strains, we undertook time course analyses of the secretomes of three Colletotrichum species (C. graminicola, C.
