    Abstract This study investigated the effects of three oil production methods on the physicochemical properties of dietary fiber from rice bran flour, and the hypolipidemic effects of the dietary fibers were investigated in vitro and in vivo. The particle size results showed that the organic-solvent-impregnated rice bran meal dietary fiber (N-RBDF) had the smallest average particle size and the aqueous enzymatic rice bran meal dietary fiber (E-RBDF) had the narrowest particle size distribution. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results demonstrated that all three kinds of rice bran meal dietary fibers (RBDFs) were irregularly flaky. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) results revealed that the three RBDFs had similar reactive groups, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that all three RBDFs were cellulose type I crystals. The results of thermogravimetric analysis showed that the lignin content of N-RBDF was significantly lower than that of the other two. Among the three kinds of RBDFs, E-RBDF had higher water retention capacity, swelling capacity, oil holding capacity, and adsorption capacity for cholesterol and sodium bile salts. The results of experimental studies in hyperlipidemic rats showed that all three kinds of RBDFs significantly reduced triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and elevated high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the serum of hyperlipidemic rats; they also significantly lowered malondialdehyde (MDA) and elevated total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities in the livers of rats. In addition, all three kinds of RBDFs decreased aminotransferase (ALT) and aminotransferase (AST) activity in serum and also improved liver steatosis and reduced atherosclerosis index (AI) in rats with hyperlipidemia. Our study provides a reference for the development and utilization of rice bran meal and the application of rice bran meal dietary fiber in food processing.

    Abstract Mercury (Hg) biotransformation (methylation and demethylation) could play a key role in affecting the final Hg speciation and level in fish. The gut microbiota was identified to be involved in this process. Diet is recognized to greatly influence the gut microbiome, whereas the impact of food composition on Hg biotransformation in fish has yet to be addressed. The study investigated the biotransformation and bioaccumulation of Hg in the gobyfish (Mugilogobius chulae) under different food choices (natural prey and artificial food) and evaluated the role of gut microbiome in these processes. The results showed that different diet composition significantly affected the gut microbiome and subsequently resulted in varied phenomenon of Hg biotransformation within fish body.

    Abstract Flexible piezoresistive sensors have demonstrated great potential in human-motion-detection applications. However, it still remains a challenge to fabricate strain sensors with high sensitivity, broad sensing range, and good linear response to strain. In this report, a simple and scalable fabrication strategy is developed to construct high performance strain sensors by using leather as the substrates to filtrate poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) modified layered double hydroxides (LDHs) suspensions. The naturally aligned collagen fibers in leather enable size selection for the 2D conductive materials and as such dual-conductive pathways are effectively formed on the surface and in the matrix of leather. Due to the unique design of conductive networks, the prepared sensor possesses high gauge factor (maximum value of 2326.84), tunable strain range (0-70%), fast tensile response time (160 ms), and good stability in 1000 stretching-relaxing/compression-relaxing cycles, making it suitable for various human motion detections including coughing and large-scale motions of joint bending. In addition, the incorporated LDHs is a non-toxic flame retardant, which is helpful to reduce electronic fire risk and can bring added value to the sensor.

    Abstract Mercury (Hg) biotransformation (methylation and demethylation) could play a key role in affecting the final Hg speciation and level in fish. The gut microbiota was identified to be involved in this process. Diet is recognized to greatly influence the gut microbiome, whereas the impact of food composition on Hg biotransformation in fish has yet to be addressed. The study investigated the biotransformation and bioaccumulation of Hg in the gobyfish (Mugilogobius chulae) under different food choices (natural prey and artificial food) and evaluated the role of gut microbiome in these processes. The results showed that different diet composition significantly affected the gut microbiome and subsequently resulted in varied phenomenon of Hg biotransformation within fish body. Significant demethylation (0.33 % d⁻¹) was only observed in the natural prey (brine shrimp) treatment, whereas methylation was occurred extremely slowly (0.013 % d⁻¹) only in the artificial food (commercial dry pellets) treatment. Furthermore, the growth of demethylators was also enhanced in the natural prey treatment, which contributed to the demethylation process in fish. Furthermore, the gut microbial structure of gobyfish was greatly altered by different diet composition. This study highlights the significance of food choices in the minimization of Hg contamination in aquaculture. Incorporating natural prey into fish diets could be a better choice to balance the fish production and control MeHg levels. Diet composition greatly affects the gut microbial composition, and natural prey could help to reduce the potential of MeHg accumulation by fish.

    Abstract Mercury (Hg) biotransformation is an important process that can affect the speciation and bioaccumulation of Hg in fish. The intestinal microbiota has been suggested to take part in this process. However, Hg biotransformation in fish is still unclear and the responses of gut microbiota to different Hg exposure scenarios have not been well addressed. The present study investigated the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of Hg in a freshwater fish (Micropterus salmoides) and characterized the gut microbiome community under dietary inorganic Hg (IHg) or methylmercury (MeHg) exposure, aiming to evaluate the effects of gut microbiome's activities on the internal-handling and fate of Hg in fish. Significant Hg methylation was observed in fish under IHg exposure, whereas there was no demethylation occurred in MeHg-treated fish. Both IHg and MeHg could significantly alter the community composition of gut microbiome. The administrated IHg in the food could enhance the growth of methylators, resulting in additional MeHg production in fish gut. However, abundance of demethylators was greatly decreased under either IHg or MeHg exposure, leading the demethylation process to be negligible. The results strongly suggested that the behaviors of gut bacterial community played an important role in the presence or absence of biotransformation processes. This study elucidated the importance of gut microbiome in Hg biotransformation process, and helped to develop a novel perspective to understand the Hg bioaccumulation of fish in realistic environment.

    Abstract Mercury (Hg) biotransformation can significantly affect the Hg speciation and bioaccumulation in fish, where gut microbiota play an important role in this process. Antibiotics have been extensively used in aquaculture and can affect gut microbial structure. However, the influence of antibiotics on Hg biotransformation in fish has not been thoroughly understood. The present study investigated the effects of antibiotic (florfenicol) application on gut microbiota and subsequent impacts on Hg biotransformation and bioaccumulation in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). The results showed that the florfenicol treatment did not affect IHg accumulation in the IHg-exposed fish or the MeHg accumulation in the MeHg-exposed fish. However, methylation was significantly weakened (from 0.015% d⁻¹ to 0.005% d⁻¹) and demethylation was completely terminated (from 0.046% d⁻¹ to non-observable level) in the florfenicol-treated fish as compared to the control fish. This can be ascribed to the major shift in the richness of microbial methylators/demethylators in fish gut. Furthermore, florfenicol disturbed the homeostasis of gut microbiome and enhanced the growth of opportunistic pathogens. Our results strongly suggested that antibiotic application significantly altered the gut microbial community, thereby increasing the potential of MeHg accumulation by fish. This study highlights the importance of appropriate use of antibiotics in aquaculture as well as decreasing the environmental risks of Hg contamination in fish.

    Abstract Lithium metal batteries represent a promising technology for next-generation energy storage, but they still suffer from poor cycle life due to lithium dendrite formation and cathode cracking. Fluorinated solvents can improve battery longevity by improving LiF content in the solid-electrolyte interphase; however, the high cost and environmental concerns of fluorinated solvents limit battery viability. Here we designed a series of fluorine-free solvents through the methylation of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, which promotes inorganic LiF-rich interphase formation through anion reduction and achieves high oxidation stability. The anion-derived LiF interphases suppress lithium dendrite growth on the lithium anode and minimize cathode cracking under high-voltage operation. The Li
