【Objective】 To investigate the effects of probiotic fermentation on the nutritional composition and
functional activity of oats, and to evaluate its potential as a postbiotic product.【Method】 The oat substrate was
fermented using a mixture of probiotic strains, including Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus plantarum, fol
lowed by inactivation. The non-fermented, fermented, and inactivated fermented oats were analyzed and
compared for their contents of probiotic nucleic acids, primary nutrients, and functional metabolites.【Result】
qPCR analysis showed a significant increase (P<0.05) in probiotic nucleic acid content after fermentation.
Although the UHT inactivation process significantly reduced the qPCR signal due to compromised DNA template
quality, the final values remained significantly higher than the baseline levels. Nutritionally, fermented oats had
higher levels of protein, free amino acid, and reducing sugars, but lower levels of fat and starch. Total dietary
fiber and β-glucan contents did not change significantly. Furthermore, fermentation significantly increased the
levels of functional metabolites, including the antioxidants γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and protocatechuic
aldehyde, as well as the short-chain fatty acid, acetic acid.【Conclusion】 Probiotic fermentation effectively
enhances the nutritional value and functional properties of oats. The inactivated product retains substantial
amounts of probiotic components and metabolites, demonstrating its potential as a postbiotic functional food.
【Objective】 To study beneficial effects of W1/O/W2 emulsion encapsulated bacteria on probiotics in
simulated in vitro digestion based on pea protein isolate (PPI).【Method】 Lactobacillus planplanum was
encapsulated in the internal aqueous phase of W1/O/W2 emulsion, and the effects of different concentrations of
PPI (1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%) on the particle size, stability, microstructure and encapsulation efficiency of W1/
O/W2 emulsion were studied. The changes in the activity of the Lactobacillus planplanum during gastrointestinal
digestion were verified by in vitro static simulation of the digestion process.【Result】 The W1/O/W2 emulsion
formed by 4%PPI had the smallest particle size (5.91 μm), no stratification phenomenon for 14 days, the best
encapsulation efficiency (52.65%), and the survival rate of bacteria reached 74.11% in simulated in vitro diges
tion. However, there was no significant difference in bacterial survival rate between Lactobacillus plantarum
suspension mixed with PPI at 8% and the double emulsion formed by 4%PPI.【Conclusion】 The W1/O/W2 emul
sion formed by PPI is one of the key factors for protecting probiotics against digestive damage in addition to its
encapsulation effect.
【Objective】 To analyze the research hotspots and frontiers of probiotics in the field of type 2 diabetes
mellitus (T2DM) in recent years and provide reference bases and directions for the treatment and clinical
management of T2DM patients in China.【Method】 Based on the retrieval results from the core database of Web
of Science, CiteSpace 6.1. R6 software was employed to conduct visual analyses of the publishing authors,
countries, institutions, and keywords of the literatures.【Result】 Ultimately, 870 relevant literatures were
retrieved. The number of publications has been on the rise year by year, with a significant amount in 2021—
2024. Among them, China has the largest number of publications, yet its centrality is far lower than that of the
United States. Through the combined analysis of keyword co-occurrence, clustering, and emergence, it was
discovered that "gut microbiota", "obesity", "insulin resistance", etc. are the research hotspots, and "inflamma
tion" and "oxidative stress" may be the frontiers of future research.【Conclusion】 In recent years, there has been
a surge in high-quality articles pertaining to probiotics and diabetes, indicating significant attention and rapid
development in this field. China aligns with the main research directions internationally, yet there still exists a
certain gap. In the future, efforts should be intensified to strengthen the connections and collaborations among
countries, authors, and institutions. Furthermore, increased investment in basic research is essential to elevate
China's research standards in this domain.
【Objective】 To summarize the health benefits of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019
(HN019) and oligofructose to provide a scientific basis for the research and application of HN019 and
oligofructose in nutrition.【Method】 We summarized the effects and mechanisms of HN019 and oligofructose on
health through a literature review.【Result】 Adding HN019 to the diet can increase the number of intestinal
bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, reduce the adhesion of intestinal pathogenic bacteria, reduce the occurrence of
infectious diseases in children, and improve the intestinal transit time of patients with functional constipation.
Oligofructose can promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria, improve stool looseness in formula-fed infants and
children, and increase the level of intestinal enteric secretory IgA to regulate immunity.【Conclusion】 HN019
and oligofructose have the effect of improving gut health and regulating immunity.
【Objective】 This study aimed to examine the effects of behavioral interventions on consumers'
sustainable dietary choices in out-of-home dining contexts, providing empirical evidence for promoting the
transition to a low-carbon diet.【Method】 A randomized controlled trial was conducted in four fast-food chain
restaurants in Beijing to systematically evaluate the impacts of traffic-light carbon labels, default options,
information prompts, and combined interventions on consumer food choices. A total of 51,232 transaction
records were collected and analyzed using a difference-in-differences model for causal identification.【Result】
The results showed that both traffic-light labels and default options significantly reduced consumers' consumption
of high-carbon foods. However, both interventions exhibited diminishing effects over the short term and were ac
companied by behavioral spillover. Information prompts did not produce significant synergistic effects when
combined with other interventions.【Conclusion】 This study verifies the applicability of behavioral economics
theory in the Chinese catering context and recommends integrating behavioral science approaches into the
national food governance system to promote sustainable dietary consumption patterns on the demand side.
【Objective】 To retrospectively investigate the prevalence of malnutrition among inpatients in a
tertiary hospital in Chengdu using the GLIM diagnostic criteria.【Method】 A total of 187 patients from various
wards were enrolled. Nutritional status was assessed retrospectively with the GLIM criteria (without muscle
mass reduction), and the incidence and determinants of malnutrition were analysed.【Result】 1.Based on GLIM,
the malnutrition rate was 19.8%; nutritional risk screened by NRS 2002 was 28.34%. 2.Compared with the well
nourished group, malnourished patients showed significantly lower body weight (P=0.006), BMI (P=0.001),
mid-upper arm circumference (P=0.001), calf circumference (P=0.001), hand-grip strength (P=0.020),
haemoglobin (P=0.020), albumin (P=0.032) and lymphocyte count (P=0.017) (all P<0.05). 3.Malnutrition
incidence rose significantly with age≥65 years, increasing number of comorbidities and lower education level (P
<0.05). 4.Non-voluntary weight loss, low BMI, disease burden/inflammation and reduced food intake/absorp
tion were strongly associated with malnutrition (P<0.001). 5. Multivariate logistic regression identified
nutritional risk, impaired food absorption and disease burden/inflammation as independent risk factors (OR=
10.352, 4.852 and 5.015, respectively).【Conclusion】 Hospital inpatients exhibit a high prevalence of nutritional
risk and malnutrition. The GLIM criteria are suitable for nutritional assessment; nutritional risk, impaired food
absorption and disease burden are independent predictors of malnutrition.
【Objective】To investigate the relationship between dietary choline intake and pulmonary function
and disease control in children with asthma.【Method】A total of 80 children with bronchial asthma admitted to
the Department of Pediatrics of Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August 2024 to April 2025
were selected as the research objects. The daily choline intake was quantified by 24-hour dietary recall method,
and the daily choline intake was continuously monitored for 7 days. The average value was taken and divided into
three groups by fixed threshold method : high intake group (>250 mg/d, n=27 ), medium intake group (150—
250 mg/d, n=26), low intake group (<150 mg, n=27). All children were treated with standardized asthma treat
ment and respiratory rehabilitation training. The forced vital capacity (FVC), one-second rate [forced expiratory
volume in the first second/FVC (FEV1/FVC)] and peak expiratory flow ( PEF ) were measured before and after
treatment. The asthma control test scale ( ACT ) and asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) were used to evaluate
and compare. 【Result】After treatment, the ACT scores of the three groups were higher than those before treat
ment. The ACT score : high-dose group > middle-dose group > low-dose group (P<0.05). The ACQ scores of
the three groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment. ACQ score : high dose group < middle
dose group < low dose group .The FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF of the three groups were higher than those before
treatment. The comparison between the groups showed that the three indexes were all high-dose group > middle
dose group > low-dose group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).
Pearson correlation analysis showed that dietary choline intake in children with asthma was positively correlated
with ACT scale score and lung function indexes FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF, and negatively correlated with ACQ
scale score (P<0.05).【Conclusion】Dietary choline intake is associated with pulmonary function and disease
control in children with asthma. Higher dietary choline intake shows potential to improve pulmonary function and
reduce disease severity, and its clinical implementation is recommended.
【Objective】 To investigate the effects of multiple trace elements supplementation on antioxidant,
anti-inflammatory and immune functions of rats on a high-fat diet, and to provide an experimental basis for trace
elements supplementation.【Method】 Four-week-old male SPF-grade Wistar rats were randomly divided into a
control group, trace element supplementation group, high-fat diet group and high-fat diet with elemental
supplementation group. The trace element supplementation group and high-fat diet with elemental supplementa
tion group were gavaged with trace elements (containing boron, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron,
cobalt, copper, zinc, selenium, strontium and molybdenum) daily for 8 weeks, and serum samples were col
lected to measure lipid levels, body antioxidant levels, inflammatory factor levels and immune function.
【Result】 The high-fat diet group showed increased levels of body weight, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and
malondialdehyde, increased activity of enzymes such as xanthine oxidase, and increased percentage of CD8+ T
lymphocytes. Also, the high-fat diet group had decreased catalase activity, decreased levels of interleukin-4 and
interleukin-10, and decreased proportions of CD3+ T lymphocytes, CD4+ T lymphocytes, and CD4+/CD8+ T
lymphocytes. In contrast, supplementation with multiple trace elements reversed the above abnormalities, while
increasing total antioxidant capacity and glutathione levels, improving the enzymatic activities of superoxide
dismutase, glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase, and decreasing the level of interleukin-6.【Conclu⁃
sion】 Multiple trace elements supplementation improved antioxidant capacity, anti-inflammatory capacity and
immune function in rats on a high-fat diet.
【Objective】 Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory disease caused by intestinal
specific immune abnormalities of regulation, studies have examined the multiple effects of Omega-3 PUFAs,
such as anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. However, the immunomodulatory effect of ω-3
PUFAs on IBD needs further study.【Method】 In this study, Fat-1 transgenic mice producing endogenous ω-3
PUFAs and litters of wild-type C57/BL6 mice were used to induce colitis models by dextran sulfate sodium
(DSS). The lisease activity index (DAI) score was performed. Colon length was measured and HE staining was
performed. Intestinal permeability was detected by FITC-glucan. mRNA levels of inflammatory mediators IL-1β,
TNF-α, NF-κβ and iNOS were detected by RT-PCR. ZO-1 protein was detected by immunofluorescence, and
Occludin and Claudin 5 were detected by Western blot.【Result】 Compared with the WT DSS group, the DAI
score was decreased in the Fat-1 DSS group, and colon length was increased. Intestinal goblet cell number was
decreased and mucosal damage was improved. mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, NF-κB and iNOS in
colon were decreased. The expressions of ZO-1, occludin and claudin 5 were up-regulated, and the content of
FITC in serum was decreased.【Conclusion】 Omega-3 PUFAs can improve IBD by protecting the intestinal bar
rier and reducing intestinal inflammatory response.
