Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of modified binding pancreatogastrostomy (MBPA) by comparing it with traditional pancreatogastrostomy (TPA) and to determine the surgical effects on the intestinal microecology.
Methods: The surgical effects on the intestinal microecology of female Bama minipigs (n = 20) were determined by measuring the expressions of the intestinal microbial proteins in the gastric juice, gastric mucosa, and feces before and after MBPA and TPA. We then constructed an integrated interaction network based on the metabolomics and 16S amplicon data, the microbiota, the metabolites, and the associated pathways.
Results: The average time required for anastomosis was significantly lower after MBPA than after TPA, but the breaking force did not significantly differ between them. We identified 25 and 51 differentially expressed metabolites and microbiota, respectively. An interaction network was constructed using 16 metabolites (including pyruvic and lactic acids), 27 microbiota (including _UCG-00) and six pathways (including pyruvate metabolism).
Conclusion: Anastomosis might be achieved sooner and with less pancreatic leakage using MBPA compared with TPA. Pancreatogastrostomy inhibits activity, leading to increased expressions of pyruvic and lactic acids in the gut.

Saline soil is widely distributed in China and poses significant challenges to engineering construction due to its harmful effects, such as salt heaving, dissolution collapse, and frost heaving. The Microbial-Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) method is an emerging environmental-friendly modification that can reduce or eliminate the environmental and engineering hazards of saline soil. To verify the feasibility of the MICP method for improving the properties of saline soil, laboratory tests were conducted to study the effects of salt content, activated carbon content and freeze-thaw cycles on the compression and water retention behavior of MICP modified saline soil.

Dimethoate is a toxic organophosphorus insecticide and its contamination of water poses a threat to the surrounding ecosystem. In order to enhance the removal effect of ferrate (Fe(VI)) on dimethoate, modified graphene-like biochar (SIZBC) with reduction and adsorption properties was prepared in this study. Compared with Fe(VI) alone, the removal of dimethoate by Fe(VI)/SIZBC increased from 26 % to more than 97 %, and the reaction rate was accelerated by 34 times.

The construction of structure-guided aptamers and the ultra-sensitive aptamer-based lateral flow assays (Apt-LFA) integrated detection method hold significant potential for food analysis. Using an engineered modified sequence strategy, we successfully developed the aptamer Cap-1-2M4, significantly enhancing its affinity for capsaicin (CAP) to 0.6197 ± 0.

Disruptions in cognitive function have been reported in individuals undergoing haemodialysis and those with chronic kidney disease. This pilot study protocol primarily assesses the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile cognitive gaming apps for patient-led cognitive training during haemodialysis sessions. The protocol consists of three phases: (1) reviewing and evaluating available cognitive gaming apps, (2) conducting focus groups/interviews with people with kidney disease to determine app preferences, and (3) undertaking a quasi-experimental randomised controlled trial to compare cognitive outcomes between a patient-led app intervention group and a standard care control group over four months.

Background: High content imaging-based functional precision medicine approaches have been developed and successfully applied in the field of haemato-oncology. For rheumatoid arthritis (RA), treatment selection is still based on a trial-and-error principle, and biomarkers for patient stratification and drug response prediction are needed.
Methods: A high content, high throughput microscopy-based phenotyping pipeline for peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was developed, allowing for the quantification of cell type frequencies, cell type specific morphology and intercellular interactions from patients with RA (n = 65) and healthy controls (HC, n = 33).
