Phytosterols are bioactive substances found naturally in the cell membranes of plants and have an arrangement of molecules similar to that of fat, which is produced by mammalian cells. They are widely distributed as dietary sources of lipids in plants, such as nuts, seeds, olive oil, and legumes. This review provides a summary of the efficacy of BS in treating lifestyle problems, as well as an appraisal of previous research.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper investigates the in vitro atomization properties of a self-developed sodium sivelestat for inhalation to assess its potential as an aerosol medication and to inform future animal studies.
  • It analyzes atomization performance by measuring fine particle mass and total emitted dose, confirming that it meets inhalation requirements.
  • The study compares two nebulizers (air compressed and mesh), finding that mesh nebulizers produce smaller and more uniform particles, and concludes that inhalation of sodium sivelestat is equally effective as its injection form in treating lung injury in mice.

Department of Agricultural Sciences, College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education, Murdoch University, South Street, Murdoch, WA 6150, Australia.

Headspace solid microextraction (HS-SPME) and GC-MS were used to investigate volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cabbage plants infested and uninfested with green peach aphid . The HS-SPME combined with GC-MS analysis of the volatiles described the differences between the infested and uninfested cabbage. Overall, 28 compounds were detected in infested and uninfested cabbage.

Objectives: The risk of recurrent infections (RCDIs) is high when treated with standard antibiotics therapy (SAT) alone. It is suggested that the addition of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) or bezlotoxumab after SAT reduces the risk of RCDI. In the absence of head-to-head randomised controlled trials (RCTs), this review attempts to compare the efficacy and safety of bezlotoxumab with FMT in reducing the risk of RCDI in hospitalised patients.
