Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the most active soil components and plays critical direct and indirect roles in heavy metal migration, transformation, bioavailability, and toxicity in soils. In this study, isothermal adsorption/desorption experiments and pot experiments were performed and samples were physically characterized to study the effects of different sources of DOM on adsorption and desorption behavior and bioavailability of Cd and Hg in a plant-soil system. The results showed that microbial DOM promoted Cd and Hg adsorption in soil and decreased Cd and Hg bioavailability to pak choi (Brassica chinensis Linn.). In contrast, straw DOM and farmyard manure DOM decreased Cd and Hg adsorption and improved Cd and Hg migration and bioavailability. These results might be explained by the different types of DOM having different molecular weights and degrees of aromaticity. Cd was more readily desorbed by the soil and was more phytoavailable than Hg. We concluded that exogenous microbial DOM can inhibit Cd and Hg migration and bioavailability in soil but straw DOM and farmyard manure DOM can activate Cd and Hg in soil and promote Cd and Hg accumulation in plants. The results could help in developing rational agricultural fertilization regimes.

Prediction of microbial crude protein flow from the rumen of dairy cattle by means of dietary characteristics - a meta-analysis.
Arch Anim Nutr

Protein supply to ruminants relies mainly on the flow of microbial crude protein (MCP) from the rumen, which is commonly assumed to primarily depend on energy supply. This study evaluated this assumption with recent data and tested if ruminally fermented organic matter (FOM) was a better predictor of MCP flow than total-tract digestible organic matter (DOM) and if more variables could improve the prediction of MCP flow. A previously published data set was extended by additional studies resulting in a data set of 139 studies including 407 treatment means, typical to Central European rations.

Background: Metabolic-bariatric surgery (MBS) transcends weight loss and offers wide-ranging health benefits, including positive effects on brain function. However, the mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear, particularly in the context of significant postoperative changes in the inflammatory profile characteristic of MBS. Understanding how inflammation influences postoperative brain function can enhance our decision-making on patient eligibility for MBS and create new opportunities to improve the outcomes of this popular treatment.

Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital Clementino Fraga Filho, School of Medicine, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Background/aims: The prognostic importance of changes in vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) parameters, liver stiffness measurement (LSM), and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is unknown.
Methods: A prospective cohort of 288 patients underwent 2 VCTE exams at least 2 years apart, and the relative percentage changes in LSM and CAP were calculated. Outcomes were the occurrence of any liver-related events (LREs), cardiovascular events (CVEs), and all-cause mortality.

Probing the Photochemical Formation of Hydroxyl Radical from Dissolved Organic Matter: Insights into the HO-Dependent Pathway.
Environ Sci Technol
January 2025
Zachry Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843, United States.
This study quantifies the contribution of the HO-dependent pathway to hydroxyl radical (OH) production from the photolysis of dissolved organic matter (DOM). OH formation rates were cross-validated using benzoate and terephthalate as probe compounds for diverse DOM sources (reference isolates and whole waters). Catalase addition revealed that the HO-dependent pathway accounts for 10-20% of the total OH production in DOM isolate materials, but no significant correlation was observed between ambient iron (Fe) concentrations and HO-dependent OH formation.
