TL;DR: In this article , xanthan gum-g-poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/biochar composite hydrogels with high-removal efficiency and fast adsorption rate of methylene blue (MB) are synthesized using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a pore-foaming agent.
Abstract: Low-concentration organic dye wastewater severely threatens the growth and reproduction of animals and plants, as well as the survival and development of human beings and the environment. Although versatile hydrogel composites have been prepared owing to their excellent adsorption performance, the high-removal efficiency and fast adsorption rate are still two crucial problems related to practical applications. Herein, xanthan gum-g-poly (acrylic acid-co-acrylamide)/biochar composite hydrogels with high-removal efficiency and fast adsorption rate of methylene blue (MB) are synthesized using sodium dodecyl sulfate as a pore-foaming agent. The composite hydrogels exhibit rough and porous three-dimensional structures, which can make the internal active adsorption sites to be fully exposed and facilitate the MB diffusion process. MB's removal efficiency can reach 96.64% within 30 minutes, which is almost the first time that a biochar-contained hydrogel could show superior removal efficiency of more than 95% in such a short adsorption time. The factors affecting the adsorption performance are studied comprehensively. Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models fit the adsorption process well. Moreover, the MB removal rate still exceeds 80% after eight cycles, which is also a vital indicator for practical treatment. Adsorption mechanism analysis shows that the synergistic effect among biochar, xanthan gum, and polymer chains and the porous structure improve the adsorption performance of the composite hydrogels. The proposed hydrogel-biochar composites with high-removal efficiency and adsorption rate are highly promising as an alternative adsorbent for advanced printing and dyeing wastewater treatment.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the effects of two mixed fermentation methods: one was fermenting a soymilk and milk mixture by a lactic acid bacteria fermenting agent at 0.1 g/kg and 42 °C until the acidity was 70 °T, which was set as the MFSM method, and the other one was fermented milk alone by lactic acids bacteria at 42°C for 12 h, placing it in a 4°C refrigerator after acidification for 24 h and then mixing it with soylilk at a 1.5:1 ratio and storing the mixture at 4 °C.
Abstract: This study explored the effects of two mixed fermentation methods: one was fermenting a soymilk and milk mixture by a lactic acid bacteria fermenting agent at 0.1 g/kg and 42 °C until the acidity was 70 °T, which was set as the MFSM method, and the other was fermenting milk alone by lactic acid bacteria at 42 °C for 12 h, placing it in a 4 °C refrigerator after acidification for 24 h and then mixing it with soymilk at a 1.5:1 ratio and storing the mixture at 4 °C, which was set as the SMFSM method. The quality and flavor of the soymilk and milk mixture products were investigated on the 0th, 15th and 30th days during storage. The changes in acidity, pH, number of viable bacteria, viscosity, water-holding capacity, texture, rheological properties, sensory quality and volatile flavors were determined. The results showed that compared with the fermented soymilk and milk mixtures under the MFSM method, the samples of fermented soymilk and milk mixtures under the SMFSM method showed a significant slowdown of acidification during storage, so that the sensory quality of the products was almost unaffected by acidity on the 30th day of storage. Furthermore, the number of viable bacteria was greater than 7 log cfu/mL. The water holding capacity did not change significantly until the 30th day. There was also no whey precipitation, indicating good stability. The samples in SMFSM mode had higher aromatic contents and beans during storage than the fermented soymilk and milk mixtures in MFSM mode. The rich variety of volatile flavors and the presence of acetoin, 2-heptanone, and (E,E)-3,5-octadien-2-one throughout the storage period allowed the samples to maintain a good sensory flavor during storage.

TL;DR: In this paper , a rat model of lipid metabolism disorder using a high-fat diet was established, and intervention with Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk resulted in a significant reduction in body weight, serum free fatty acid and blood lipid levels.
Abstract: To further explore and improve the mechanism of probiotics to alleviate the disorder of lipid metabolism, transcriptomic and metabolomic with bioinformatic analysis were combined. In the present study, we successfully established a rat model of lipid metabolism disorder using a high-fat diet. Intervention with Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk resulted in a significant reduction in body weight, serum free fatty acid and blood lipid levels (p < 0.05), which predicted that the lipid metabolism disorder was alleviated in rats. Metabolomics and transcriptomics identified a total of 33 significantly different metabolites and 183 significantly different genes screened in the intervention group compared to the model group. Comparative analysis of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway annotations identified a total of 61 pathways in which differential metabolites and genes were jointly involved, with linoleic acid metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and glutamatergic synapse in both transcriptome and metabolome being found to be significantly altered (p < 0.05). Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk was able to directly regulate lipid metabolism disorders by regulating the metabolic pathways of linoleic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis, alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, fatty acid degradation, glycerolipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism. In addition, we found that Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk indirectly regulates lipid metabolism through regulating amino acid metabolism, the nervous system, the endocrine system and other pathways. Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk could alleviate the disorders of lipid metabolism caused by high-fat diet through multi-target synergy.

TL;DR: In this article , a rat model of disordered lipid metabolism was established to study the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammatory response by Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk.
Abstract: A rat model of disordered lipid metabolism was established to study the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammatory response by Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk. The results showed that the high-fat diet caused the disorder of lipid metabolism in rats, accompanied by the occurrence of an inflammatory response. After Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk intervention, the blood lipid level was reduced along with the activity of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as well as triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) contents in the liver of rats (p < 0.05), the fat vacuoles of rat hepatocytes were reduced, and the lipid accumulation in the rat liver was decreased. Liver injury was restored. Meanwhile, the levels of free fatty acid (FFA) and fatty acid synthase (FAS), acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC), lipoprotein esterase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) in serum and liver of rats were significantly lower than those in the model group (p < 0.05), which indicated that fatty acid synthesis was inhibited, fatty acid production was reduced and lipid metabolism was restored to balance. In addition, the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammatory factors in the serum of rats were also significantly reduced (p < 0.05), and the inflammatory response of rats was restored. Lactobacillus rhamnosus hsryfm 1301 fermented milk could not only inhibit fatty acid synthase but reduce the production of excessive fatty acids, thus reducing fat accumulation, restoring the balance of lipid metabolism and alleviating the inflammatory response in rats. At the same time, it can also reduce the level of ROS through the antioxidant effect, alleviate the inflammatory response, and thus alleviate the disorder of lipid metabolism.
