Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acid resistance of enamel subsurface lesions treated with casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF).
Methods: Fifty extracted primary molars with a standardized window on enamel were immersed in a demineralizing solution for 72 hours to produce subsurface enamel lesions. They were sectioned in a buccolingual direction; one half of the sample was treated with the remineralizing agent CPP-ACPF and the other half remained untreated (control group). After 10 days, the sample was evaluated quantitatively using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The treated samples were reimmersed into the demineralizing solution for 72 hours and the mineral content was re-evaluated.
Results: The mean calcium content of the remineralized samples was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<.001) and was higher than the second demineralization values. The mean calcium content of the second demineralization was significantly higher than those of the control group (P<.001).
Conclusion: CPP-ACPF increased the resistance of enamel surfaces to further demineralization.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of heat-killed N1 (HK-N1) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) derived from it on alleviating insulin resistance by modulating the gut microbiota and amino acid metabolism. High-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice were administered live bacteria or HK-N1, and the results demonstrated that HK-N1 significantly reduced epididymal adipocyte size and serum low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and improved insulin resistance by increasing the YY peptide and glucagon-like peptide levels. HK-N1 also modulated the gut microbiome composition, enhancing microbiota uniformity and reducing the abundance of , and .

Background And Aims: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is the most common chronic liver disease strongly associated with metabolic dysfunction, but its pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. Exploring plasma circulating metabolites may help in elucidating underlying mechanisms and identifying new biomarkers for SLD.
Methods: We examined cross-sectionally the association between plasma metabolites and SLD as well as liver enzymes using data from 4 population-based cohort studies (Rotterdam study, Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Family Study, and Study of Latinos).

Cancer is an extraordinarily complex illness, with many tumors ultimately developing resistance to the currently available therapeutics. This highlights a need for the discovery of new anticancer medicines. Natural products have been utilized for centuries by the indigenous people of Alaska for both spiritual and medicinal purposes and have traditionally been administered as medicine for a wide range of ailments from the common cold to cancer.

Introduction: Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is a threat to the citrus production and causes severe economic losses to the citrus industry. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play important roles in plant growth and stress responses. Although ERF genes have been widely studied in model plants, little is known about their role in biological stress responses in fruit trees, such as citrus.

Introduction: Heavy metal soil pollution is a global issue that can be efficiently tackled through the process of phytoremediation. The use of rapeseed in the phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated agricultural land shows great potential. Nevertheless, its ability to tolerate heavy metal stress at the molecular level remains unclear.
