    Abstract Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of interventional treatment in patients with hypoperfusion cerebral infarction in the territory of the lenticulostriate arteries caused by middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis.
    Methods: A prospective, single-center, non-blinded research design was employed to assess the efficacy of interventional treatment for hypoperfusion cerebral infarction in the territory of the lenticulostriate arteries caused by MCA stenosis. Clinical and surgical data were collected from patients with MCA atherosclerotic disease who underwent interventional therapy at our hospital between January 2020 and December 2022. The intervention group consisted of 8 patients meeting the criteria for hypoperfusion cerebral infarction caused by MCA stenosis, while the control group comprised 8 patients with hypoperfusion cerebral infarction caused by middle cerebral artery stenosis who received conventional treatment. Clinical and imaging characteristics, perioperative complications, and follow-up outcomes were compared between the two groups.
    Results: Pre-intervention cerebral perfusion imaging revealed significantly prolonged rMTT and rTTP, decreased rCBF, and altered rCBV within the territory of the lenticulostriate arteries in all 8 patients. Follow-up imaging showed restoration of blood flow and comparable perfusion to the healthy contralateral side. A case demonstrating successful restoration of vessel patency, good recovery, and absence of complications was presented. Both groups had favorable outcomes during follow-up, with no cases of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or death in the perioperative period. There were no significant differences in relative perfusion parameters, NIHSS scores, and mRS scores between the two groups.
    Conclusion: Interventional treatment demonstrates good efficacy and low risk of complications in treating cortical watershed cerebral infarction caused by middle cerebral artery stenosis. It is an effective and safe alternative to conventional treatment.

    Abstract Encapsulated starch can be classified as physically inaccessible starch or type 1 resistant starch (RS1), which is produced by encapsulating starch granules within food matrices using various encapsulation techniques. Encapsulated starch has the potential to be used as a functional ingredient in low-/medium-glycemic index (GI) foods as it can help control glycemic and insulin responses. Despite its remarkable benefits, the relevant information related to entrapped starch and its application is still insufficient and needs further elucidation. The objective of this work is to present a comprehensive overview of the current techniques utilized for the preparation of encapsulated starch and its characteristics, thereby extending the fundamental knowledge. Furthermore, this review delves into the mechanisms governing starch hydrolysis regulated by shell matrices and provides the prospective utilization of encapsulated starch in food production.

    Abstract Sargassaceae, the most abundant family in Fucales, was recently formed through the merging of the two former families Sargassaceae and Cystoseiraceae. It is widely distributed in the world's oceans, notably in tropical coastal regions, with the exception of the coasts of Antarctica and South America. Numerous bioactivities have been discovered through investigations of the chemical diversity of the Sargassaceae family. The secondary metabolites with unique structures found in this family have been classified as terpenoids, phlorotannins, and steroids, among others. These compounds have exhibited potent pharmacological activities. This review describes the new discovered compounds from Sargassaceae species and their associated bioactivities, citing 136 references covering from March 1975 to August 2023.

    Abstract This review explores the health-promoting properties of pigmented rice, focusing on its unique ability to promote slow starch digestion and improve blood sugar regulation. While the impact of slow starch digestibility is widely acknowledged, our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains insufficient. Therefore, this review aims to bridge the gap by examining the intricate factors and mechanisms that contribute to the low starch hydrolysis of pigmented rice to better understand how it promotes slower starch digestion and improves blood sugar regulation. This paves the way for future advancements in utilizing pigmented rice by enhancing our understanding of the mechanisms behind low starch hydrolysis. These may include the development of food products aimed at mitigating hyperglycemic symptoms and reducing the risk of diabetes. This research broadens our understanding of pigmented rice and facilitates the development of strategies to promote health outcomes by incorporating pigmented rice into our diets.

    Abstract Sugarcane molasses vinasse is the residue of the fermentation of molasses and the water and soil environmental pollutants from distilleries. However, its recycling value has been neglected. The chemical analysis of the molasses vinasse led to the isolation of a new benzoyl chloride called 2,3,4-trihydroxy-5-methoxy benzoyl chloride, as well as thirteen known compounds, including six benzoic acids. The structure of the new benzoyl chloride was elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. The antioxidant activity of all isolated compounds was measured using the ORAC assay. Moreover, we compared the cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) and inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase for structure-activity analysis. The results showed that only vanillic acid had CAA (8.64 μmol QE/100 μmol in the no PBS wash protocol and 6.18 μmol QE/100 μmol in the PBS wash protocol), although other benzoic acid derivatives had high ORAC values ranging between 1879.9 and 32,648.1 μmol TE/g.

    Abstract This study aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory and gut microbiota modulation potentials of flavonoid-rich fraction (PFF) extracted from Passiflora foetida fruits. The results showed that PFF markedly reduced the production of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Meanwhile, PFF treatment also effectively decreased the phosphorylation levels of MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and NF-κB signaling-pathway-related proteins (ERK, JNK, p38, Akt, and p65). Moreover, PFF had an impact on microbial composition and metabolites in a four-stage dynamic simulator of human gut microbiota (BFBL gut model). Specifically, PFF exhibited the growth-promoting ability of several beneficial bacteria, including Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, and Roseburia, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) generation ability in gut microbiota. In addition, spectroscopic data revealed that PFF mainly contained five flavonoid compounds, which may be bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and gut microbiota modulation potentials. Therefore, PFF could be utilized as a natural anti-inflammatory agent or supplement to health products.

    Abstract Arsenic (As) as a neurotoxic environmental pollutant has attracted extensive attention. Curcumin (Cur) is a natural antioxidant that shows an excellent protective effect against arsenic trioxide (ATO)–induced toxicity in many animal organs. However, the mechanism of Cur against ATO-induced hypothalamic toxicity in ducks has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, ducks were treated with ATO and/or Cur during 28 days; the results showed that ATO exposure induced growth retardation, messy feathers, and abnormal posture in ducks. Moreover, ATO caused neuron vacuolar degeneration and disintegration in the hypothalamus of ducks. Simultaneously, ATO induced blood–brain barrier damage, downregulated the expression of ZO-1, Occludin, and mediated NF‐κB activation, resulting in an increase in inflammatory factors (TLR-4, NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-2, and IL-6). Furthermore, ATO increased the production of pyroptosis-related factors (Caspase-1, IL-18, IL-1), exacerbating the inflammatory damage through NLRP3-mediated inflammasome activation. Cur, on the other hand, exerted excellent inhibitory effects on inflammation and pyroptosis. In summary, our study revealed that ATO triggered inflammation and pyroptosis by modulating NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathways in the hypothalamus of ducks, and Cur can alleviate inflammation and pyroptosis caused by ATO. Therefore, as a plant extract, Cur has the potential to prevent and cure ATO-induced hypothalamus toxicity.

    Abstract Marine fungal exopolysaccharides play a crucial role in immunoregulation. In this investigation, a novel polysaccharide was extracted from the culture medium of the marine fungus Aspergillus medius SCAU-236. Compositional analysis revealed a structure composed of glucose units with (1,4)-α-D-Glcp, (1,3,4)-β-D-Glcp, and (1,4,6)-α-D-Glcp, along with side chains of 1-α-D-Glcp linked to carbon 6 of (1,4,6)-α-D-Glcp and carbon 3 of (1,3,4)-β-D-Glcp. Functional evaluations on RAW264.7 macrophage cells demonstrated Aspergillus medius polysaccharide (ASMP)'s effects on cell proliferation, nitric oxide levels, and the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β cytokines. Additionally, metabolomics indicated ASMP's potential to modulate macrophage immune function by impacting key regulatory molecules, including COX-2, iNOS, Nrf2, SLC7A11, GPX4, and ACSL4. The Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 axis and ACSL4 were suggested to be involved in ASMP-induced ferroptosis, leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and lipid peroxidation. These findings propose a unique mechanism by which ASMP exerts immunomodulatory effects through ferroptosis induction, contributing to the understanding of marine-derived compounds in immunomodulation research.
