Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), a primary active component in Carthami Flos, has been extensively applied in the treatment of cardiometabolic diseases. In this study, a natural deep eutectic solvent composed of glucose and choline chloride with 10% (v/v) of water (90% GCH) was evaluated to enhance the oral absorption of HSYA. Compared with HSYA in water, the relative oral bioavailability of HSYA in 90% GCH was increased to 326.08%. Furthermore, 90% GCH was demonstrated to decrease the mucus viscosity and increase the absorption rate constant of HSYA in the jejunum by 2.95 times. A pharmacodynamic study revealed that HSYA in 90% GCH was more effective in reducing body weight and correcting steatohepatitis and dyslipidemia in high-fat diet-induced obese rats. Serum metabolomics results showed that the correction of serum aromatic amino acid disorder may contribute to the anti-obesity effect of HSYA in 90% GCH. In conclusion, 90% GCH could be a delivery carrier for HSYA against obesity.

The role of inoculum in initiating anaerobic digestion (AD), and accelerating the start-up of anaerobic digesters has been well-documented. However, the effect of aligning the origin temperature of the inoculum with the operational temperature of the new digester remains underexplored. This study investigates how the origin temperature and characteristics of the inoculum affect the kinetics and biodegradability of sewage sludge (SS) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions.

Background And Aims: Controversy remains whether the mortality risk in people with fatty liver disease (FLD) including metabolic-(dysfunction) associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and metabolic-(dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is higher than observed in those without FLD. We aimed to determine the mortality rate and mortality rate ratio (MRR) for these FLDs.
Methods: The study population was a randomly selected cohort of community-dwelling adults in regional Victoria, Australia between 2001 and 2003 with sufficient data evaluable for Fatty Liver Index and determination on alcohol consumption.

Historically, blind intrauterine procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C) and blind endometrial biopsies have been the primary approach for diagnosing and managing intrauterine pathologies. However, these techniques lack direct visualization, leading to diagnostic limitations, incomplete treatment, and increased complication rates. Despite substantial advances in hysteroscopic technology, including high-definition imaging and minimally invasive instruments, blind procedures remain widely used.

Herbal waste produced during the manufacturing of herbal products is a potential feedstock for anaerobic digestion due to high amount of organic matter that can be transformed into biogas as an energy resource. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to convert herbal waste produced during the manufacturing of common of Ayurveda products into biogas through anaerobic digestion process using batch test study under controlled mesophilic temperature conditions of 35 °C with food to inoculum ratio of 0.75.

Wastewater treatment contributes substantially to methane (CH) emissions, yet monitoring and tracing face challenges because the treatment processes are often treated as a "black box". Particularly, despite growing interest, the amount of CH carryover and influx from the sewer and its impacts on overall emissions remain unclear. This study quantified CH emissions from six wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) across China, utilizing existing multizonal odor control systems, with a focus on Beijing and Guiyang WWTPs.
