Probiotics are susceptible to diverse conditions during processing, storage, and digestion. Here, shellac (SC), sodium alginate (SA), coconut oil (CO), soybean oil (SO), and trehalose (AL) were used to prepare microcapsules aiming to improve the survival of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KLDS1.0318 during freeze-drying, storage process, and gastrointestinal digestion. The results showed that for SA/AL/SC/CO and SA/AL/SC/SO, the survival loss decreased by 51.2 % and 51.0 % after a freeze-drying process compared with microcapsules embedded by SA; the viable bacteria count loss decreased by 4.36 and 4.24 log CFU/mL compared with free cell (CON) during storage for 28 d under 33%RH at 25 °C, respectively; while for simulating digestion in vitro, the survival loss decreased by 3.05 and 2.70 log CFU/mL, 0.63 and 0.55 log CFU/mL after digestion at simulated gastric fluid for 120 min and small intestine fluid for 180 min, respectively (P < 0.05). After microcapsules were added to fermented dairy stored at 4 °C for 21 d, the viable bacteria count of SA/AL/SC/CO and SA/AL/SC/SO significantly increased by 2.10 and 1.70 log CFU/mL compared with CON, respectively (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the current study indicated that shellac-based probiotic microcapsules have superior potential to protect and deliver probiotics in food systems.

Background: This study aimed to examine how physician performance metrics are affected by the speed of other attendings (co-attendings) concurrently staffing the ED.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using patient data from two EDs between January-2018 and February-2020. Machine learning was used to predict patient length of stay (LOS) conditional on being assigned a physician of average speed, using patient- and departmental-level variables.

Documented worldwide, impaired immunity is a cardinal signature resulting from loss of dietary zinc, an essential micronutrient. A steady supply of zinc to meet cellular requirements is regulated by an array of zinc transporters. Deletion of the transporter Zip14 (Slc39a14) in mice produced intestinal inflammation.

Collaborative management partnerships (CMPs) between state wildlife authorities and nonprofit conservation organizations to manage protected areas (PAs) have been used increasingly across Sub-Saharan Africa since the 2000s. They aim to attract funding, build capacity, and increase the environmental effectiveness of PAs. Our study documents the rise of CMPs, examines their current extent, and measures their effectiveness in protecting habitats.

Music pre-processing methods are currently becoming a recognized area of research with the goal of making music more accessible to listeners with a hearing impairment. Our previous study showed that hearing-impaired listeners preferred spectrally manipulated multi-track mixes. Nevertheless, the acoustical basis of mixing for hearing-impaired listeners remains poorly understood.

Previous studies have provided relatively limited evidence in examining the impact of preoperative serum albumin levels on the length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients with hip fractures. This study aimed to elucidate the association between preoperative serum albumin levels and LOS in elderly patients with hip fractures. This retrospective cohort study included 1444 elderly patients undergoing surgical treatment for hip fractures at the Second People's Hospital of Shenzhen from January 2012 to December 2021.
