The aim of this study was to optimize and compare the production of galactooligosaccharides (GOSs) by free and cotton cloth-immobilized Aspergillus oryzae β-galactosidase, and perform economical evaluation of production of GOSs (100%) between them. Using the response surface method, the optimal reaction time (3.9 h), initial lactose concentration (57.13%), and enzyme to lactose ratio (44.81 U/g) were obtained for the free enzyme, which provided a GOSs yield of 32.62%. For the immobilized enzyme, the optimal yield of GOSs (32.48%) was obtained under reaction time (3.09 h), initial lactose concentration (52.74%), and temperature (50.0 ℃). And it showed desirable reusability during five successive enzymatic reactions. The recovery rate of GOSs (100%) is 65% using silica gel filtration chromatography. The economical evaluation showed almost no difference in the manufacturing cost for the GOSs (100%) between these two systems, and that the recovery rate had a great impact on the cost.

The effects of plastic pollution on marine organisms is of growing concern. The hydrophobic surface of plastics adsorbs organic contaminants and can alter the rate of chemical uptake in fishes. Per-fluorinated organic chemicals such as Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are highly hydrophobic toxic chemicals that adsorb to hydrophobic surfaces.

Article Synopsis
- Cystic fibrosis (CF) modulators have improved patient outcomes, but individual responses vary, especially regarding respiratory issues; the study explores the effects of ketone monoester (KME) on CF patients by boosting D-beta hydroxybutyrate concentrations and assessing quality of life and inflammation.
- Fourteen adults on modulator therapy were divided into two groups: one received KME and the other a placebo for 5-7 days while hospitalized or as outpatients; KME was well tolerated, showing significant increases in D-βHB levels and better self-reported respiratory scores compared to the placebo group.
- Although short-term KME administration didn’t significantly change plasma inflammatory markers, there were notable differences in

Acute lung Injury leads to alterations in surfactant lipid composition and metabolism. Although several mechanisms contribute to dysregulated surfactant metabolism, studies investigating in vivo surfactant metabolism are limited. The aim of this study is to characterise surfactant phospholipid composition and flux utilising a stable isotope labelling technique in mechanically ventilated paediatric patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces the concept of the superior shoulder suspension complex (SSSC), which is crucial for shoulder stability, and notes that disruption in this complex can lead to a "floating shoulder injury" (FSI).
- Conducted in a trauma care center in India, the prospective study analyzed 18 cases of unstable FSI over four years, focusing on functional recovery after surgical treatment.
- Results showed successful healing of fractures and positive functional outcomes, with 72.22% of patients achieving good to excellent results, demonstrating that early surgical intervention enhances rehabilitation and recovery.

Article Synopsis
- Echocardiography is recommended as a primary diagnostic tool for patients in shock, but its implementation in critical care is inconsistent and not well defined.
- A study involving 178 critical care units in the UK tracked 1015 patients, revealing that 54% received an echocardiogram, which helped clarify diagnoses or change treatment plans in over half of the cases.
- Despite its benefits, only 25% of echocardiograms complied with national governance guidelines, indicating a need for improved usage and adherence in future practices.
