Background: Schott (called as Xiangshayu in Chinese) is an excellent local cultivar of the genus polymorpha in Jiangsu Province, China.
Objective: In the present study, we have performed a comparative study before and after dietary consumption with Schott to evaluate its anti-cancerous properties.
Design: Forty-two healthy volunteers were recruited, and dietary consumption with 200 g of tap water cooked Schott daily was conducted for 1 month. Plasma samples from the subjects before and after dietary consumption with Schott were analyzed with proximity extension assays for the alteration of 92 proteins in relation with cancers, while blood samples were examined for physiological parameters with an automatic biochemical analyzer. Bioinformatic analyses were conducted using MalaCards and GEPIA.
Results: After taking dietary consumption with Schott, circulating CYR61, ANXA1, and VIM protein levels in the subjects was found to be most significantly downregulated, while for ITGB5, EPHA2, and CEACAM1, it was upregulated. Alternation of these proteins was predicted to be associated with the development of tumors such as pancreatic adenocarcinoma and breast and prostate cancers.
Conclusion: The present study provides evidence that Schott, as a healthy food, has anti-cancerous properties. Further investigation of phytochemistry in Schott has been taken into our consideration.

While the prolonged consumption of sucrose-containing beverages is known to impact many organs, their specific effects on the small intestine remain elusive. This study aimed to evaluate how regular intake of sucrose, in amounts typically consumed, affects goblet cells, which play a critical role in regulating the mucosal barrier and innate immune defenses in the small intestine. Ten-week-old male ddY mice, a model of diet-induced obesity, were given a regular diet with either plain water or 7% sucrose water.

Advances in neuromicrobiology and related omics technologies have reinforced the idea that unseen microbes play critical roles in human cognition and behaviour. Included in this research is evidence indicating that gut microbes, through direct and indirect pathways, can influence aggression, anger, irritability and antisocial behaviour. Moreover, gut microbes can manufacture chemicals that are known to compromise cognition.

Background: Retention of weight postpartum increases risk for long-term morbidity, including cardiometabolic disease. Although retained weight postpartum is a complex problem, interventions generally address individual diet and activity behaviors.
Objectives: We investigated the impact of social-network factors on postpartum health behaviors and weight.
