Sorption of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one major pathway in the formation of mineral-associated organic matter (MOM), but there is little information on how previous sorption events feedback to later ones by leaving their imprint on mineral surfaces and solutions ("legacy effect"). In order to conceptualize the role of legacy effects in MOM formation, we conducted sequential sorption experiments with kaolinite and gibbsite as minerals and DOM derived from forest floor materials. The MOM formation efficiency leveled off upon repeated addition of identical DOM solutions to minerals due to the retention of highly sorptive organic molecules (primarily aromatic, nitrogen-poor, hydrogen-poor, and oxygen-rich molecules), which decreased the sorption site availability and simultaneously modified the mineral surface charge. Organic-organic interactions as postulated in multilayer models played a negligible role in MOM formation. Continued exchange between DOM and MOM molecules upon repeated sorption altered the DOM composition but not the MOM formation efficiencies. Sorption-induced depletion of high-affinity compounds from solutions further decreased the MOM formation efficiencies to pristine minerals. Overall, the interplay between the differential sorptivities of DOM components and the mineral surface chemistry explains the legacy effects that contribute to the regulation of fluxes and the distribution of organic matter in the soil.

Background: Protein intake in infancy influences infant growth, body composition, and possibly metabolic programming later in life. Our objectives were to investigate whether macronutrient content in mother's own milk (MOM) differed between exclusive (EBF) or partial breastfeeding (PBF), including an estimation of protein intake (ePI) during the first 6 months of life. Second, to investigate associations of feeding type and ePI with childhood growth and body composition at 7 years.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the presence of tDRs (tissue-specific RNAs) in human milk extracellular vesicles (EVs) and how they relate to various maternal factors like body mass index, age, and diet among a Latina population.
  • The research involved sequencing small RNAs from 109 milk samples collected one month postpartum and analyzing their associations with maternal characteristics using statistical models.
  • Results showed 338 tDRs, with 113 common across all samples, linked to factors such as the time of milk collection, breastfeeding patterns, and the mother's dietary inflammatory index, highlighting the potential influence of these variables on tDR expression in breast milk.

Reservoirs are important drinking water sources. The metalimnetic oxygen minimum (MOM) usually occurs periodically in summer and autumn in deep-water reservoirs due to algae blooms and thermal stratification. This study aimed to explore the physiological and molecular responses of Microcystis aeruginosa (M.

Early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reduces the risk of adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes. At present, the value of serum adiponectin (ADP) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in clinical practice for the diagnosis of GDM in early pregnancy is unclear. To investigate the predictive value of serum ADP and PAPP-A in GDM.

Rosuvastatin (RVS) is an excellent drug with anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in the academic and medical fields. However, this drug faces a series of challenges when used to treat atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), including high oral dosage, poor targeting, and long-term toxic side effects. In this study, we applied nanotechnology to construct a biomimetic nano-delivery system, macrophage membrane (Møm)-coated RVS-loaded Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles (MPR NPs), for improving the bioavailability and targeting capacity of RVS, specifically to the plaque lesions associated with HHcy-induced atherosclerosis.
