    Abstract Key clinical message: Gastric diverticulum in the posterior wall of the stomach is very rare, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed as a left adrenal mass on imaging. Therefore, we must consider the possibility of gastric diverticulum when diagnosing a left adrenal mass.
    Abstract: This paper reports a case of gastric diverticulum that was misdiagnosed as a left adrenal mass on abdominal enhanced CT. The patient underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy, but there was no mass in the left adrenal found during surgery. After the incision of the retroperitoneum, a cystic mass was found adjacent to the posterior gastric wall which turned out to be gastric diverticulum. This case suggests that gastric diverticulum, a rare disease, may be interpreted as an adrenal mass on imaging. Therefore, as a urologist, the gastric diverticulum must be excluded when CT suggests a mass in the left adrenal region.

    Abstract The main objective of this study was to investigate the potential probiotic properties of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus VHProbi®M15 (M15). This study examined the effects of M15 on sucralfate-induced constipation in a mouse model. The BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: the normal group (NOR) was without any treatment, while the constipation (CON), phenolphthalein (PHE), and probiotic (PRO) treatment groups were fed with sucralfate until the appearance of constipation symptoms. Afterward, the NOR and CON groups were given 1 ml saline orally every day until the end of the experiment; the PHE and PRO groups were given phenolphthalein or M15 suspension in 1 ml orally, respectively. Compared with the CON group, the fecal water content and intestinal peristalsis improved in the PRO group. Here, intake of M15 effectively attenuated sucralfate-induced constipation, recuperated colonic epithelial integrity, and increased serum levels of gastrointestinal excitatory neurotransmitters (motilin, gastrin, substance P). Analysis of the intestinal microbiota of mice by 16S rRNA metagenomic revealed an increase in the relative abundance of Bacteroides and a decrease in Sclerotinia, Verrucosa and Proteus in the PRO group. Compared with the CON group, the constipation-induced intestinal microecological changes were partially recovered in the PHE and PRO groups. These results demonstrate that M15 enhanced gastrointestinal transit and alleviated in mice with sucralfate-induced constipation.

    Abstract Regeneration has been considered as an ideal way for the post-treatment of waste FCC catalyst (ECat). In this work, the degeneration mechanism of ECat was firstly researched and attributed to the increasing of strong acid sites accessibility of ECat in contrast with fresh FCC catalyst by adsorption FTIR. Based on the proposed degeneration mechanism, ECat was successfully regenerated through suitable weakening for strong acid sites by boron modification. Characterization and evaluation results suggested that, the strong acid sites of regenerated ECat (R-ECat) were apparently decreased by boron modification which had significantly improve the heavy oil catalytic cracking performance of R-ECat. Because of the excellent performance, R-ECat in this work could successfully substitute for partial fresh FCC catalyst in FCC unit, which would provide a practicable way for the reutilization of ECat.

    Abstract Extravagant price and lack of high-efficiency recovery technology limited scale-up utilization of ionic liquids. Ionic liquids recovery with electrodialysis-based techniques has caught wide concern due to membrane-based characteristic. Economical assessment for electrodialysis-based ionic liquid recovery and recycling in biomass processing was performed by determining influence of equipment-related and financial-related factors with sensitivity analysis for each factor. Overall recovery cost of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, choline acetate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate varied within 0.75-1.96 $/Kg, 0.99-3.00 $/Kg, 1.37-2.74 $/Kg and 1.15-2.89 $/Kg when factors changed within investigated range. Fold of membrane cost, factor of membrane stack cost, factor of auxiliary equipment cost, factor of annual maintenance cost and annual interest rate of loan were positively related with recovery cost. While percentage of annual elapsed time and loan period were negatively correlated with recovery cost. Economical assessment confirmed economic efficiency of electrodialysis for ionic liquids recovery and recycling in biomass processing.

    Abstract An increasing amount of evidence indicates that Baicalin (Bai, a natural glycosyloxyflavone compound) exhibits an antiviral effect against avian viruses. However, it remains unclear if the antiviral effect of Bai against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is exerted indirectly by modulating respiratory tract microbiota and/or their metabolites. In this study, we investigated the protection efficacy of Bai in protecting cell cultures and broilers from IBV infection and assessed modulation of respiratory tract microbiota and metabolites during infection. Bai was administered orally to broilers by being mixed in with drinking water for seven days. Ultimately, broilers were challenged with live IBV. The results showed that Bai treatment reduced respiratory tract symptoms, improved weight gain, slowed histopathological damage, reduced virus loads and decreased pro-inflammation cytokines production. Western blot analysis demonstrated that Bai treatment significantly inhibited Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) expression both in cell culture and cells of the trachea. Bai treatment reversed respiratory tract microbiota dysbiosis, as shown by 16S rDNA sequencing in the group of broilers inoculated with IBV. Indeed, we observed a decrease in

    Abstract In the random regression model (RRM) for milk yield, by replacing empirical lactation curves with the five-order Legendre polynomial to fit fixed groups, the RRM can be transformed to a hierarchical model that consisted of a RRM in the first hierarchy with Legendre polynomials as individuals’ lactation curves resolved by restricted maximum likelihood (REML) software, and a multivariate animal model for phenotypic regression coefficients in the second hierarchy resolved by DMU software. Some empirical lactation functions can be embedded into the RRM at the first hierarchy to well fit phenotypic lactation curve of the average observations across all animals. The functional relationship between each parameter and time can be described by a Legendre polynomial or an empirical curve usually called submodel, and according to three commonly used criteria, the optimal submodels were picked from linear and nonlinear submodels except for polynomials. The so-called hierarchical estimation for the RRMs in dairy cattle indicated that more biologically meaningful models were available to fit the lactation curves; moreover, with the same number of parameters, the empirical lactation curves (MIL1, MIL5, and MK1 for 3, 4, and 5 parameters, respectively) performed higher goodness of fit than Legendre polynomial when modelling individuals’ phenotypic lactation curves.

    Abstract A strain of lactic acid bacteria from cheese was isolated, that showed strong growth inhibitory effects on Streptococcus mutans. The API 50CH system and 16S rDNA sequencing verified that this was a novel strain, and was named Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus VHProbi M14. The strain inhibited the growth of S. mutans and Fusobacterium nucleatum under mixed culture conditions, coaggregated with S. mutans and F. nucleatum, and reduced the adhesion of S. mutans and F. nucleatum on cultured human primary gingival epithelial (HPGE) cells. The pH, peroxidase and protease sensitivity testing found antibacterial substances of protein- and peptide-like structures in addition to organic acids. The antimicrobial substances were sensitive to hydrolysis with trypsin, papain and pineapple protease and were inactived at temperatures above 100°C. Ammonium sulphate-precipitated proteins from the M14 strain retained the ability to inhibit the growth of S. mutans and F. nucleatum. The M14 strain contained 23 bacteriocin-related genes encoding for metabolites, belonging to class II bacteriocins. The M14 strain also showed inhibitory effects on 8 other pathogenic strains (A. actinomycetemcomitans, C. albicans, E. coli, G. vaginalis, P. acnes, P. gingivalis, S. aureus, S. enteritids), and thus has a broad spectrum of bacterial inhibition. This new isolate has been identified as having potential to be used as a probiotic bacterium in clinical applications.
