    Abstract In this study, four undescribed bibenzyl derivatives (1-4), together with seven known compounds (5-11) were isolated from the aerial parts of Dendrobium officinale. Their chemical structures were determined to be (7'S,8'S) -9''-acetyldendrocandin U (1), (7'S,8'S) -4'-methoxydendrocandin T (2), (7'R,8'S) -dendrocandin B (3), (1S,2R) -5'''-methoxydendrofindlaphenol C (4) by analyzing of the spectroscopic data including HR-ESI-MS, 1D-, and 2D-NMR spectra. The absolute configurations of compounds 1-4 were determined by the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Compounds 1-3, 5, 10 and 11 inhibited α-glucosidase with the IC50 values ranging from 56.3 to 165.3 µM, compounds 1-3, 5, 7-10 inhibited α-amylase with the IC50 values ranging from 65.2 to 177.6 µM.

    Abstract Abstract Quantifying effects of individual attributes and population demographic characteristics that affect inter‐ and intrasexual interactions and adult reproductive success, and the spatial and temporal contexts in which they are expressed is important to effective species management. Multi‐year individual‐based analyses using genetically determined parentage allowed the examination of variables associated with the reproductive success of male and female lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the well‐studied population in Black Lake, Michigan, USA. Spawning lake sturgeon (a total of 599 individuals where many were captured more than once based on 1024 total captures) and larvae (N = 3436) were genotyped during each of seven consecutive years (2001–2007). Factors associated with individual reproductive success differed between sexes and varied among spawning groups within a year and among years depending on spawning date (higher reproductive success earlier in the season for females) and spawning locations (higher reproductive success in upstream spawning zones for females). Female reproductive success increased nonlinearly with increasing body size. Male reproductive success increased with increasing residence time in spawning areas and, to a modest degree, with increasing body size in a nonlinear fashion. Fixed effects of repeatability in spawn timing and location across years led to consistently higher or lower reproductive success for females. Results identified factors, including time spent at spawning areas by males and intersexual encounters and mate number, that contributed to higher interindividual variance in reproductive success and affected population levels of recruitment, the degree of subpopulation genetic structure (lack of isolation by time), and effective population size.

    Abstract Depolymerization of lignin is an important step to obtain a lignin monomer for the synthesis of functional chemicals. In the context of more lignin produced from biomass and pulp industry, converting real lignin with low purity is still required more studies. In this study, the influence of solvent composition and reaction parameters such as binary solvents ratio, time, and temperature, the solvent-to-lignin ratio on the depolymerization of rice straw lignin was investigated carefully. Essential lignin-degraded products including liquid product (LP), char (solid), and gas were obtained, and their yields were directly influenced by reaction conditions. Results show that the maximum lignin conversion rate of 92% and LP yield of 66% was under the condition of 275°C, 30 min, 75 : 1 (mL solvent/1 g lignin), and ethanol 50%. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis was used for the analysis of the depolymerization products and identified 11 compounds which are mainly phenolic compounds such as 2-ethylphenol, 3-ethylphenol, phenol, methyl 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoate. The structure changes of LP and char in various conditions were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR).

    Abstract Improvement of biomass utilization productivity following cascading strategy is a priority for the biorefinery-based circular bioeconomy. In recent years, the field of energy research has seen an increasing interest in bio-products from paddy-based biorefinery, but the utilization of the entire value of paddy biomass to guide the commercial viability of its products has not been got feasible outcomes. Here we propose a potential pathway for a conceptual paddy biorefinery framework by addressing wastes for producing more products. The feasibility of the integrated biorefinery was demonstrated by the conversion of wastes into value-added products such as nano-silica and lignin. In particular, this is the first time that silica recovered from bioethanol system was continued to be reused to produce ZSM-5 and Ni/ZSM-5 as catalysts of rice straw lignin depolymerization achieving high conversion of lignin up to 95% and fair yield of phenolic products up to 41%. Material flow of an integrated biorefinery model was reported to give a future outlook for making most of the processing routes of rice residues. We also established a life cycle that follows the circular bioeconomy concept and discussed the relationship between each of potential bioproducts and their market opportunities.

    Abstract Bighead catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) is an important freshwater species for aquaculture and fisheries in Southeast Asia. The species has been domesticated for more than 30 generations in hatcheries, but wild population numbers have declined to “threatened” levels. In this study, genetic diversity was quantified in areas of intensive catfish culture and natural areas of the Mekong Delta, Viet Nam to inform hatchery genetic improvement programs and conservation actions. Fish were collected from three hatcheries and four wild populations in conservation parks (wild-conservation) and seven wild populations in rice fields of aquaculture-intensive areas (wild-farming). Results based on six microsatellite loci showed all populations had relatively high levels of genetic diversity for allelic richness (range 8.10– 10.18), and observed heterozygosity (range 0.708– 0.819). However, genetic diversity was lower in hatchery fish and wild farming populations as evidenced by significantly lower (P ≤ 0.03) allelic richness (9.16 ± 0.27 and 9.27 ± 0.66, respectively) than wild conserved populations (10.01 ± 0.19). Pairwise individuals’ genetic relatedness within three cultured populations (0.013–0.028) and five wild farming populations (0.016–0.039) indicated low potential for inbreeding in the immediate future. Genetic differentiation among populations (FST = 0.017 ± 0.002) indicated a modest level of gene flow, likely due to the expansive river network, straying of hatchery fish, and large-scale transport of wild fish to hatcheries.

    Abstract Background: Hypertension is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Enhancing health literacy (HL) may help to alleviate the risk of hypertension and its burden. However, evidence on the association between HL and hypertension and potential mechanisms remain to be explored.
    Objectives: This study examined the association between HL and hypertension; and explored whether body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (PBF), and visceral fat (VF) were mediators of this association in people who resided in rural and suburban areas in Vietnam.
    Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from 1st July to 31st December 2019, involving 1655 residents and exploring participants' sociodemographic characteristics, HL, health-related behaviors, comorbidities, body composition, and blood pressure (BP). People with systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg or using antihypertensive medication were classified as having hypertension. Multiple logistic regression and mediation analyses were used to explore associations.
    Results: The hypertension prevalence was 41.9% (694/1,655). In adjusted models, a higher HL score was associated with a lower hypertension likelihood (OR = 0.96; 95%CI = 0.95-0.97;
    Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension was relatively high. People with better HL were less likely to have hypertension. The association between HL and hypertension was partially explained by PBF. Strategic approaches are required to improve people's HL and body fat which further help to manage hypertension in rural and suburban areas.
