AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: Using 24-hour dietary recalls, compare Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2005 scores of Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program participants before and after 8-12 weekly lessons.
Design: Analysis of preexisting 24-hour dietary recalls information collected from October, 2012 through September, 2014.
Participants: Participants with complete pre-post dietary data (n = 122,961); subset of those with complete demographic data (n = 97,522).
Main Outcome Measures: Change in HEI-2005 scores (total and components).
Statistical Analysis: Linear regression model fit separately for total HEI and 12 components. The response variable was changed in the HEI-2005 score; predictor variables included age, education, sex, and race/ethnicity.
Results: The mean total HEI scores were 51.1 (SD, 13.7) at entry and 56.5 (SD, 13.7) at exit, with a change of 5.4 (SD, 16.2). Nine of 12 component scores increased. Changes were greater as age increased, with increasing education, and in women. Hispanics had the greatest improvement (mean ± SE) in total HEI score (8.3 ± 0.1).
Conclusions And Implications: Although diet quality remained poor, participation in the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program resulted in improvement in dietary quality. The degree of improvements varied among demographic groups, but all groups improved.

Introduction: Micronutrient deficiencies are common among women of reproductive age (WRA) and children in Senegal. Large-scale food fortification (LSFF) can help fill gaps in dietary intakes.
Methods: We used household food consumption data to model the contributions of existing LSFF programs (vitamin A-fortified refined oil and iron and folic acid-fortified wheat flour) and the potential contributions of expanding these programs to meeting the micronutrient requirements of WRA (15-49 years) and children (6-59 months).

Myo-inositol is an active sugar alcohol which has important physiological functions. In this study, an engineered strain that could simultaneously utilize glucose and xylose to produce myo-inositol was constructed, and its fermentation performance was determined. Firstly, the gene was deleted to make BL21 capable of utilizing glucose and xylose simultaneously as mixed carbon source.

The accurate quantification of multicomponents using LC-MS is pivotal for ensuring the quality control of herbal medicine, as well as the investigation of their analysis of biological tissue distribution. However, two significant challenges persist: the scarcity of authentic standards and the selection of appropriate internal standards. In this study, we present a highly sensitive isotope-coded equivalent reporter ion assay (iERIA) that combines equivalently quantitative ion and isotope-coded derivatization strategies.
