Article Abstract
Post-fermented tea (PFT), a commonly consumed beverage worldwide, is characterized by the rapid growth of its microbial groups and the substantial changes they undergo. Consequently, PFT may contain mycotoxins such as B-type fumonisins (FBs). This study aimed to assess the intake of FBs through the consumption of PFT among consumers in Guangxi, China. A novel quantitative method using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to determine the FB concentration in PFT products. Additionally, a PFT consumption survey was conducted using a face-to-face questionnaire, recording their body weight and PFT consumption patterns based on a three-day dietary recall method. Finally, hazard index was calculated to estimate the health risk of FBs from the consumption of PFT products in Guangxi. The results revealed that the occurrence of FBs in PFT was 20% (24/120), with a concentration ranging from 2.14 to 18.28 μg/kg. The results of the survey showed that the average daily consumption of PFT by consumers was 9.19 ± 11.14 g. The deterministic risk assessment revealed that only 0.026% of the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake of FBs was consumed through PFT, indicating that FB contamination in PFT is not a public health risk.

Physical field-assisted deep eutectic solvent processing: A green and water-saving extraction and separation technology.

Extraction of organic and bioactive compounds from plant materials with the traditional organic solvents aided by water or oil bath heating is not sustainable, because it consumes a lot of energy, time, water/oil, solvents, and results in lower yield. This review discusses deep eutectic solvent (DES) as a green solvent, physical field technology (PFT) as a water-saving and green technology, and how the coupling of PFT (ultrasound [US], microwave [MW], infrared [IR]) to DES will improve the yield and quality of protein, polysaccharides, polyphenols, pectin, and terpenoids extracted from plant materials. Ultrasonication increases DES extraction efficiency via cavitation dislodgement and pores creation.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how different plant types (non-legume herbs, non-legume shrubs, and legumes) in arid regions of China manage nutrient resorption, specifically nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).
- It finds that legumes resorb N less efficiently but have similar P resorption rates to non-legume shrubs, while non-legume herbs are the most efficient at P resorption.
- The research also reveals that environmental factors, particularly climate, significantly influence nutrient resorption, with plant traits being more important than soil conditions for nutrient conservation strategies.
A Normal Forced Vital Capacity Does Not Reliably or Equitably Exclude Restriction.

Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: European Respiratory Society and American Thoracic Society (ERS/ATS) guidelines for pulmonary function test (PFT) interpretation recommend the use of a normal forced vital capacity (FVC) to exclude restriction. However, this recommendation is based upon a single study from 1999, which was limited to White patients, and used race-specific reference equations that are no longer recommended by ERS/ATS. We sought to reassess the support for this recommendation by calculating the negative predictive value (NPV) of a normal FVC in a diverse, multicenter cohort using race-neutral reference equations.

Purpose: Race-based correction is widely utilized in clinical practice, but may contribute to overestimation of lung function, underdiagnoses in minority groups, and exclusion of minority groups from research trials. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the usage of race-based correction in pulmonary function testing (PFT) within chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) research and its impact on the exclusion of minority groups from research trials.
Methods: We systematically searched Medline from 2010 to 2022 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examine inhaler therapy for COPD.

Article Synopsis
- Aerobic exercise training is thought to not affect lung structure or function, but the study explores the link between pulmonary vascular health and exercise capacity (VO2peak).
- Researchers examined data from participants in the CanCOLD study, looking at factors like CT blood vessel volumes and pulmonary diffusing capacity in different groups (never-smokers, ever-smokers, and those with COPD).
- The findings indicate that aspects of pulmonary vascular structure and function are significantly related to VO2peak, even in individuals with COPD, suggesting these associations extend beyond just airflow limitations.
