摘要：
With the rising morbidity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) year by year, conventional therapeutic drugs with systemic side effects are no longer able to meet the requirements of patients. Probiotics can improve gut microbiota, enhance intestinal barrier function, and regulate mucosal immunity, making them a potential complementary or alternative therapy for IBD. To compensate for the low potency of probiotics, genetic engineering technology has been widely used to improve their therapeutic function. In this review, we systematically summarize the genetically engineered probiotics used for IBD treatment, including probiotic chassis, genetic modification strategies, methods for controlling probiotics, and means of improving efficacy. Finally, we provide prospects on how genetically engineered probiotics can be extended to clinical applications.

摘要：
Enterobacter cloacae G, a novel denitrifying phosphorus-accumulating bacterial strain, was isolated from anaerobic sludge tank of a wastewater treatment plant used for pig farms. It was discovered that a pH of 7, a temperature of 30degree celsius, an initial phosphorus concentration of 8 mg/L, and a C/N ratio of 10 were the strain's ideal growth conditions. To ensure the stability of strain G in wastewater treatment, strain G was immobilized by 5 % polyvinyl alcohol, 2 % sodium alginate, and 0.6 g of biochar and crosslinked for 9 h in 4 % calcium chloride saturated boric acid solution via an orthogonal test. After the immobilized microspheres were introduced into the sequencing batch reactor (SBR), the nitrate and phosphate removal rates achieved were 89.36 % and 65.53 %, respectively, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 8 hours, a pH of 7.5, and a C/N ratio of 4.5. The immobilized microspheres containing strain G demonstrated potential for the treatment of nitrogen-rich and phosphorus-rich wastewater.

摘要：
This study aimed to assess the impact of microbial agent and different compost material, on physicochemical parameters dynamic change, nitrogen-transfer gene/bacterial community interaction network during the pig manure composting. Incorporating a microbial agent into rice straw-mushroom compost reduced the NH(3) and total ammonia emissions by 25.52% and 14.41%, respectively. Notably, rice straw-mushroom with a microbial agent reduced the total ammonia emissions by 37.67%. NH(4)(+)-N and pH emerged as primary factors of phylum-level and genus-level microorganisms. Microbial agent increased the expression of narG, nirK, and nosZ genes. Rice straw-mushroom elevated the content of amoA, nirK, nirS, and nosZ genes. Alcanivorax, Luteimonas, Pusillimonas, Lactobacillus, Aequorivita, Clostridium, Moheibacter and Truepera were identified as eight core microbial genera during the nitrogen conversion process. This study provides a strategy for reducing ammonia emissions and analyzes the potential mechanisms underlying compost processes.
摘要：
Intestinal dysfunction is becoming increasingly associated with neurological and endocrine issues, raising concerns about its impact on world health. With the introduction of several breakthrough technologies for detecting and treating intestinal illnesses, significant progress has been made in the previous few years. On the other hand, traditional intrusive diagnostic techniques are expensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, the efficacy of conventional drugs (not capsules) is reduced since they are more likely to degrade before reaching their target. In this context, microcapsules based on different types of biological macromolecules have been used to encapsulate active drugs and sensors to track intestinal ailments and address these issues. Several biomacromolecules/biomaterials (natural protein, alginate, chitosan, cellulose and RNA etc.) are widely used for make microcapsules for intestinal diseases, and can significantly improve the therapeutic effect and reduce adverse reactions. This article systematically summarizes microencapsulated based on biomacromolecules material for intestinal health control and efficacy enhancement. It also discusses the application and mechanism research of microencapsulated biomacromolecules drugs in reducing intestinal inflammation, in addition to covering the preparation techniques of microencapsulated drug delivery systems used for intestinal health. Microcapsule delivery systems' limits and potential applications for intestinal disease diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance were highlighted.

摘要：
Cadmium (Cd) has become an important heavy metal pollutant because of its strong migration and high toxicity. The industrial production process aggravated the Cd pollution in rice fields. Human exposure to Cd through rice can cause kidney damage, emphysema, and various cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, posing a grave threat to health. As modern technology develops, the Cd accumulation model in rice and in-situ remediation of Cd pollution in cornfields have been extensively studied and applied, so it is necessary to sort out and summarize them systematically. Therefore, this paper reviewed the primary in-situ methods for addressing heavy metal contamination in rice paddies, including chemical remediation (inorganic-organic fertilizer remediation, nanomaterials, and composite remediation), biological remediation (phytoremediation and microbial remediation), and crop management remediation technologies.The factors that affect Cd transformation in soil and Cd migration in crops, the advantages and disadvantages of remediation techniques, remediation mechanisms, and the long-term stability of remediation were discussed. The shortcomings and future research directions of in situ remediation strategies for heavily polluted paddy fields and genetic improvement strategies for low-cadmium rice varieties were critically proposed. To sum up, this review aims to enhance understanding and serve as a reference for the appropriate selection and advancement of remediation technologies for rice fields contaminated with heavy metals.
摘要：
This study investigated the effects of crayfish shell powder (CSP) and bamboo-derived biochar (BDB) on nitrogen metabolism, bacterial community and nitrogen functional genes during pig manure composting. Four treatments were established: CP (with no additives), TP1 (5 % BDB), TP2 (5 % CSP) and TP3 (2.5 % BDB + 2.5 % CSP). Compared to CP, the germination index (GI) of TP reached > 85 % 10 days earlier. Meanwhile, TP3 reduced NH3 and N2O emissions by 42.90 % and 65.9 %, respectively, while increased TN (total nitrogen) concentration by 5.43 g/kg. Furthermore, additives changed the bacterial structure and formed a beneficial symbiotic relationship with essential N-preserving bacteria, thereby enhancing nitrogen retention throughout the composting process. Metagenomic analysis revealed that additives upregulated nitrification genes and downregulated denitrification and nitrate reduction genes, ultimately improving nitrogen cycling and mitigating NH3 and N2O emissions. In conclusion, the results confirmed that TP3 was the most effective treatment in reducing nitrogen loss.
摘要：
The demand for food has increased dramatically as the global population increases, putting more strain on the sustainability of agriculture. To fulfill this requirement, it is imperative to develop brand-new technologies. The application potential of nanozymes in the plant and environmental sectors is progressively becoming apparent as a result of their effective enzymatic catalytic activity and the distinctive characteristics of nanomaterials, including size, specific surface area, optical properties, and thermal properties. Herein, we systematically analyze the catalytic mechanisms of nanozymes with different enzyme-mimetic activities and summarize their applications in improving crop yields by regulating ROS levels and enhancing stress resistance and detecting and removing hazardous pollutants. Finally, we thoroughly analyze the challenges faced by nanozymes regarding size, design, application, economy, and biosafety and look forward to their future development directions to better serve sustainable agriculture.
摘要：
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common clinical sickness and the major pathological basis of ischemic cardiocerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs). The pathogenesis of AS involves a variety of risk factors, and there is a lack of effective preventive and curative drugs that can completely treat AS. In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and changes in dietary habits, the morbidity and mortality rates of AS are on the rise, and the age of onset tends to be younger. The formation of AS is closely related to a variety of factors, and the main factors include lipid metabolism disorders, endothelial damage, inflammation, unstable plaques, etc. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), as one of the main components of catechins, has a variety of pharmacological effects, and its role in the prevention of AS and the protection of cardiovascular and cerebral blood vessels has been highly valued. Recent epidemiological investigations and various in vivo and ex vivo experiments have shown that EGCG is capable of resisting atherosclerosis and reducing the morbidity and mortality of AS. In this paper, we reviewed the anti-AS effects of EGCG and its mechanisms in recent years, including the regulation of lipid metabolism, regulation of intestinal flora disorders, improvement of vascular endothelial cell functions, inhibition of inflammatory factors expression, regulation of inflammatory signaling pathways, inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, and inhibition of platelet aggregation, which are helpful for the prevention of cardiocerebrovascular diseases.

摘要：
Miscanthus has good tolerance to multi-metal(loid)s and has received increasing attention in remediated studies of metal(loid)s-contaminated soil. In this study, we conducted phytoextraction techniques to investigate the synergic effects of remediation of multi-metal(loid)s-contaminated soil by Miscanthus floridulus (Lab.) and two plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), TS8 and MR2, affiliated to Enterobacteriaceae. The results exhibited a decrease of arsenic (15.27-21.50%), cadmium (8.64-15.52%), plumbum (5.92-12.76%), and zinc (12.84-24.20%) except for copper contents in the soil in bacterial inoculation groups, indicating that MR2 and TS8 could enhance the remediation of metal(loid)s. Moreover, increased fresh/dry weight and height indicated that inoculated bacteria could promote Miscanthus growth. Although the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the content of chlorophyll in the overground tissues showed no significant increase or even decrease, the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the underground tissues and soil were elevated by 48.95-354.17%, available P by 19.07-23.02%, and available K by 15.34-17.79% (p < 0.05). Bacterial inoculants could also decrease the soil pH. High-throughput sequencing analysis showed that the bacterial inoculant affected the rhizosphere bacterial community and reduced community diversity, but the relative abundance of some PGPB was found to increase. Phylogenetic molecular ecological networks indicated that bacterial inoculants reduced interactions between rhizosphere bacteria and thereby led to a simpler network structure but increased the proportion of positive-correlation links and enhanced the metabiosis and symbiosis of those bacteria. Spearman's test showed that OTUs affiliated with Enterobacteriaceae and soil nutrients were critical for metal(loid) remediation and Miscanthus growth. The results of this study provide a basis for the synergic remediation of multi-metal(loid)s-contaminated soils by Miscanthus and PGPB and provide a reference for the subsequent regulation of Miscanthus remediation efficiency by the other PGPB or critical bacteria.

摘要：
Due to the rapid development of animal husbandry, the associated environmental problems cannot be ignored, with the management of livestock and poultry manure emerging as the most prominent issue. Composting technology has been widely used in livestock and poultry manure management. A deeper understanding of the nitrogen conversion process during composting offers a theoretical foundation for selecting compost substrates. In this study, the effects of sawdust (CK) and spent mushroom compost (T1) as auxiliary materials on nitrogen as well as microbial structure in the composting process when composted with chicken manure were investigated. At the end of composting, the nitrogen loss of T1 was reduced by 17.18% relative to CK. When used as a compost substrate, spent mushroom compost accelerates the succession of microbial communities within the compost pile and alters the core microbial communities within the microbial community. Bacterial genera capable of cellulose degradation (Fibrobacter, Herbinix) are new core microorganisms that influence the assimilation of nitrate reduction during compost maturation. Using spent mushroom compost as a composting substrate increased the enzyme activity of nitrogen assimilation while decreasing the enzyme activity of the denitrification pathway.
摘要：
Polysaccharides are one of the most important and widely used bioactive components of natural products, which can be used to treat metabolic diseases. Natural polysaccharides (NPs) have been the subject of much study and research in the field of treating obesity in recent years. Studies in the past have demonstrated that mitochondria are important for the initiation, progression, and management of obesity. Additionally, NPs have the ability to improve mitochondrial dysfunction via a variety of mechanisms. This review summarized the relationship between the structure of NPs and their anti-obesity activity, focusing on the anti-obesity effects of these compounds at the mitochondrial level. We discussed the association between the structure and anti-obesity action of NPs, including molecular weight, monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage, conformation and extraction methods. Furthermore, NPs can demonstrate a range of functions in adipose tissue, including but not limited to improving the mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain, inhibiting oxidative stress, and maintaining mitochondrial mass homeostasis. The purpose of this work is to acquire a thorough understanding of the function that mitochondria play in the anti-obesity effects of NPs and to offer fresh insights for the investigation of how NPs prevent obesity and the creation of natural anti-obesity medications.

摘要：
The issue of heavy metal pollution caused by human production and living activities is progressively worsening. This study explored the effect of iron-rich organic fertilizer on the growth, quality, and cadmium (Cd) absorption of Chinese cabbage under Cd stress. The results showed that iron-rich organic fertilizer could increase the soluble protein content and root length of Chinese cabbage. Meanwhile, it could change the form of Cd to inhibit the enrichment of Cd in Chinese cabbage. The alkali hydrolyzed nitrogen (AN), total potassium (TK), organic matter (OM), and moisture content (MC) of the Z3 treatment group (2% ferrous sulfate heptahydrate) were significantly higher than those of other treatment groups. The microbial network of Z3 was more complex than the other three groups. PICRUSt analysis and correlation analysis showed that the genes related to protein synthesis (e.g., glutathione S-transferase, zinc and Cd transporter, outer membrane protein, ArsR family transcriptional regulator, catalase, etc.) can also promote microbial absorption. This study aims to provide theoretical insights into soil Cd pollution immobilization techniques.

摘要：
This study investigated the effects of the nitrogen retention composite additives Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) on lignocellulose degradation, maturation, and fungal communities in composts. The study included control (C, without Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4)), 1% Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) + 2% MgSO(4) (CaPM1), 1.5% Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) + 3% MgSO(4) (CaPM2). The results showed that Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) enhanced the degradation of total organic carbon (TOC) and promoted the degradation of lignocellulose in compost, with CaPM2 showing the highest TOC and lignocellulose degradation. Changes in the three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy (3D-EEM) of dissolved organic matter (DOM) components in compost indicated that the treatment group with the addition of Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) promoted the production of humic acids (HAs) and increased the degree of compost decomposition, with CaPM2 demonstrating the highest degree of decomposition. The addition of Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) modified the composition of the fungal community. Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) increased the relative abundance of Ascomycota, decreased unclassified_Fungi, and Glomeromycota, and activated the fungal genera Thermomyces and Aspergillus, which can degrade lignin and cellulose during the thermophilic stage of composting. Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) also increased the abundance of Saprotroph, particularly undefined Saprotroph. In conclusion, the addition of Ca(H(2)PO(4))(2) and MgSO(4) in composting activated fungal communities involved in lignocellulose degradation, promoted the degradation of lignocellulose, and enhanced the maturation degree of compost.
摘要：
From the aerobic pond of the farm, the Pseudomonas sp. G16 was screened and isolated, which was confirmed to exhibit heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification. The removal rates of Ammonia (100mg/L), nitrate (120mg/L), and nitrite (100mg/L) by the strain were 94.13%, 92.62%, and 85.67%, and the nitrogen metabolism pathway of strain G16 was analyzed by whole genome sequencing combined with its nitrification-denitrification intermediate products, it was found that the strain had independent nitrification-denitrification ability and no nitrite accumulation. Under the conditions of carbon source of sodium succinate hexahydrate, C/N ratio of 15, pH of 7.5, temperature of 15°C, and DO of 210rpm, strain G16 showed excellent denitrification performance. Strain G16 was prepared into biochar-based immobilized bacterial particles, which successfully improved its nitrogen removal efficiency and stability. Therefore, the application of strain G16 in the field of real wastewater treatment has very necessary research value.
