    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effects of light therapy on the alleviation of sleep disturbances, agitation and depression in people with dementia.
    Methods: A search was performed in PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, for studies published between 2000 and 2021.
    Results: A total of 4315 articles were screened. Sixteen articles were eligible for this review and 11 randomized controlled studies were included in the meta-analysis. Light therapy had a significant effect on reducing the number of awakenings in sleep (
    Conclusion: Light therapy appeared to be more effective in terms of alleviating sleep disturbances, rather than reducing agitation and depression, but its long-term effects remain unclear.

    Abstract Background: In 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved paired vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for patients with moderate-to-severe upper extremity motor impairments following chronic ischemic stroke.
    Objective: Previous meta-analyses have shown that VNS may impact stroke rehabilitation, but each has some limitations.
    Methods: PubMed, Ovid, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, Web of Science and WHO ICTRP databases were searched until July 14, 2022 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We defined primary outcomes as Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE) and Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT). Subgroup analyses included types of VNS, time since onset and long-term effects. Secondary outcomes included adverse events of VNS.
    Results: Eight RCTs involving 266 patients were analyzed, of which five used direct VNS and three transcutaneous auricular VNS. The results revealed that VNS enhanced upper extremity function via FMA-UE (SMD = 0.73; 95% CI: 0.48 to 0.99; P < 0.00001) and WMFT (SMD = 0.82; 95% CI:0.52 to 1.13; P < 0.00001) in comparison to the control group, but showed no significant change on long-term effects of FMA-UE (SMD = 0.69; 95% CI: - 0.06 to 1.44; P = 0.07). There was no difference in adverse events between the VNS and control groups (RR = 1.16; 95% CI: 0.46 to 2.92; P = 0.74).
    Conclusion: For stroke victims with upper limb disabilities, VNS paired with rehabilitation was significantly safe and effective. More high-quality multicentric RCTs are needed to validate this conclusion.

    Abstract Microbial communities perform the brewing function in Daqu. Macrogenomics and PICRUST II analyses revealed the differences in microbes and metabolic functions among Daqu from the seven Baijiu-producing provinces. Jiang-flavored Daqu (Guizhou, Shandong, and Hubei provinces) generally forms an aroma-producing functional microbiota with Kroppenstedtia, Bacillus, Thermoascus, Virgibacillus, and Thermomyces as the core, which promotes the metabolism of various amino acids and aroma compounds. Light-flavored Daqu (Shanxi Province) enriched the Saccharomycopsis, Saccharomyces, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) microbiota through low-temperature fermentation. These microbes can synthesize alcohol and lactic acid but inhibit amino acid metabolism within the Light-flavored Daqu. Bifidobacterium and Saccharomycopsis were dominant in the Tao-flavored Daqu (Henan province). This unique microbial structure is beneficial for pyruvate fermentation to lactate. Research also found that Strong-flavored Daqu from Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces differed significantly. The microbial communities and metabolic pathways within Jiangsu Daqu were similar to those within Jiang-flavored Daqu, but Sichuan Daqu was dominated by Thermoascus, LAB, and Thermoactinomyces. In addition, Spearman correlation analysis indicated that Kroppenstedtia, Bacillus, and Thermomyces were not only positively related to flavor metabolism but also negatively correlated with Saccharomycopsis. This research will help establish a systematic understanding of the microbial community and functional characteristics in Daqu.

    Abstract Distiller's grains (DGS) as a typical organic solid waste in Chinese Baijiu production, with high water content, nutrient and various high-value components. Conventional waste management causes environmental issues and bioresource wasting. With the development of Chinese Baijiu companies, the demand for effective DGS treatment is urgent. There were various approaches for DGS resourcing, such as feeding, high-value components extraction, biogas production and composting. This review focus on the efficiency and existed limitations of these methods, includes the effects of feeds in livestock and poultry breeding, extraction efficiency and utilization, biogas yield and purity, and substance variation and stabilization in composting. As a prospect, process for DGS cascade and full utilization should be designed in further study. Combining and organizing the methods in different studies, decreasing the waste and discharge in process, optimizing the approaches in high value component extraction, promoting the utilization in different production, the value of DGS can be increased. The remained materials after cascade utilization can be further treated by full utilization in bioresource energy and composting. Therefore, Chinese Baijiu companies can achieve zero organic solid waste discharge and cleaner production.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron subvariants have seriously attacked the antibody barrier established by natural infection and/or vaccination, especially the recently emerged BQ.1.1 and XBB.1. However, crucial mechanisms underlying the virus escape and the broad neutralization remain elusive. Here, we present a panoramic analysis of broadly neutralizing activity and binding epitopes of 75 monoclonal antibodies isolated from prototype inactivated vaccinees. Nearly all neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) partly or totally lose their neutralization against BQ.1.1 and XBB.1. We report a broad nAb, VacBB-551, that effectively neutralizes all tested subvariants including BA.2.75, BQ.1.1, and XBB.1. We determine the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of VacBB-551 complexed with the BA.2 spike and perform detailed functional verification to reveal the molecular basis of N460K and F486V/S mutations mediating the partial escape of BA.2.75, BQ.1.1, and XBB.1 from the neutralization of VacBB-551. Overall, BQ.1.1 and XBB.1 raised the alarm over SARS-CoV-2 evolution with unprecedented antibody evasion from broad nAbs elicited by prototype vaccination.

    Abstract SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2.75 subvariant has evolved to a series of progeny variants carrying several additional mutations in the receptor-binding domain (RBD). Here, we investigated whether and how these single mutations based on BA.2.75 affect the neutralization of currently available anti-RBD monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with well-defined structural information. Approximately 34% of mAbs maintained effective neutralizing activities against BA.2.75, consistent with those against BA.2, BA.4/5, and BA.2.12.1. Single additional R346T, K356T, L452R, or F486S mutations further facilitated BA.2.75-related progeny variants to escape from broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) at different degree. Only LY-CoV1404 (bebtelovimab) displayed a first-class neutralization potency and breadth against all tested Omicron subvariants. Overall, these data make a clear connection between virus escape and antibody recognizing antigenic epitopes, which facilitate to develop next-generation universal bnAbs against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

    Abstract Probiotics are used to prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) via the restoration of the gut microbiota. However, the precise effects of Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk), which is a promising probiotics, on AAD are unknown. Here, AAD models were established via the administration of lincomycin and ampicillin with or without pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 treatment. A diffusion test revealed that Akk was susceptible to the majority of the antibiotics, such as ampicillin. These effects were confirmed by the reduced Akk abundance in AAD model mice. Pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 significantly decreased the diarrhea status score and colon injury of AAD model mice. Additionally, these treatments significantly decreased the relative abundance of Citrobacter at genus level and reshaped the metabolic function of gut microbiota. Notably, pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 significantly changed the serum metabolome of AAD model mice. In addition, pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 suppressed intestinal inflammation by upregulating the expression of GPR109A and SLC5A8 and downregulating the expression of TNFα, IFNγ, IL1β, and IL6. Furthermore, they enhanced water and electrolyte absorption by upregulating AQP4, SLC26A3, and NHE3. Pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 also restored intestinal barrier function by ameliorating the downregulation of ZO-1, OCLN, CLDN4, and Muc2 in AAD model mice. In summary, optimizing intestinal health with pasteurized Akk or Amuc_1100 may serve as an approach for preventing AAD.

    Abstract Palm kernel cake (PKC) is an agricultural waste derived from palm kernel oil manufacturing, and its production is increasing year by year. It is very urgent to process this agricultural waste in an environmentally friendly way. Here, PKC was used to produce mannose and manno-oligosaccharides mixture (MMOM) and yeast culture (YC) through enzymolysis and solid-state fermentation (SSF). In enzymolysis, five factors were optimized separately and a response surface methodology analysis was performed. Then, enzymolysis of PKC was carried out at the optimal condition, and the extraction efficiency of mannose and manno-oligosaccharides reached 68.90% with mannose concentration achieving 60.27 g/L. After enzymolysis, the enzymatic hydrolysate was dried by spray drying, and the contents of MMOM reached 42.9%. In SSF, the enzymolysis residues were utilized with inoculating Saccharomyces cerevisiae for yielding YC. After optimization, the cells number of S. cerevisiae reached 2.08 × 10⁹ cells/g and the crude protein content was increased to 27.31%. Therefore, a novel approach to produce feed additives, including MMOM and YC, with high value by comprehensive utilization of PKC was proposed, which has good application prospects in the breeding industry. KEY POINTS: • New idea for the comprehensive utilization of PKC is proposed. • PKC was used to produce mannose and mannan-oligosaccharides mixture (MMOM) by enzymolysis and spray drying. • The enzymolysis residues were reused via SSF for producing yeast culture (YC).

    Abstract Men who have sex with men and people living with HIV are disproportionately affected in the 2022 multi-country monkeypox epidemic. The smallpox vaccine can induce cross-reactive antibodies against the monkeypox virus (MPXV) and reduce the risk of infection. Data on antibodies against MPXV induced by historic smallpox vaccination in people with HIV are scarce. In this observational study, plasma samples were collected from people living with and without HIV in Shenzhen, China. We measured antibodies binding to two representative proteins of vaccinia virus (VACV; A27L and A33R) and homologous proteins of MPXV (A29L and A35R) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We compared the levels of these antibodies between people living with and without HIV. Stratified analyses were performed based on the year of birth of 1981 when the smallpox vaccination was stopped in China. Plasma samples from 677 people living with HIV and 746 people without HIV were tested. A consistent pattern was identified among the four antibodies, regardless of HIV status. VACV antigen-reactive and MPXV antigen-reactive antibodies induced by historic smallpox vaccination were detectable in the people born before 1981, and antibody levels reached a nadir during or after 1981. The levels of smallpox vaccine-induced antibodies were comparable between people living with HIV and those without HIV. Our findings suggest that the antibody levels against MPXV decreased in both people living with and without HIV due to the cessation of smallpox vaccination.
