Dietary and environmental modulation for the gut environment: yogurt promotes microbial diversity while chloride hot springs improve defecation status in healthy adults by Jungmi Choi, Midori Takeda, Shunsuke Managi

“…While yogurt has been widely studied for its ability to modulate the gut microbiota as a dietary factor, the effects of chloride hot spring bathing as an environmental factor remain largely unexplored. This randomized, controlled trial investigated the individual and combined effects of yogurt consumption and chloride hot spring bathing on gut microbiota, fecal metabolites, and defecation function in healthy adults. 47 participants (39 eligible participants + 8 additional recruits) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: control, yogurt only, or yogurt plus hot spring bathing. …”

The Efficiency of Epidural Anesthesia and Postoperative Analgesia during Myocardial Revascularization without Extracorporeal Circulation by A. V. Yeremeyev, A. A. Smetkin, M. Yu. Kirov

“…In the postoperative period, arterial oxygenation was higher during epidural infusion with autoanalgesia and the value of lactate was higher in the control group (p<0.05). Epidural infusion ensured the maximum reduction in the magnitude of pain syndrome; there was a 46% drop in the time of postoperative mechanical ventilation in the epidural autoanalgesia group (p<0.05). …”

Immunomodulatory effects of detoxification agents on dendritic cell populations in methamphetamine addiction by Ghasem Mosayebi, Seyed Mohammad Moazzeni, Hadiseh Farahani, Hassan Solhi, Mohammad Rafiei, Ali Ghazavi

“…Results The percentages of both CD11c + and CD123 + dendritic cells in peripheral blood were significantly lower in Methamphetamine addicts compared to the control group. Detoxification with Risperidone corrected this reduction, while the combination of Risperidone and Methylphenidate failed to produce any change in the percentage of dendritic cells. …”

Performances and Working Mechanisms of Inclined Retaining Structures for Deep Excavations by Gang Zheng, Yuping Wang, Peng Zhang, Xuesong Cheng, Wenlong Cheng, Yuebin Zhao, Xinhao Li

“…A case study and finite element results in this study show that inclined piles (IP) are more effective than vertical piles (VP), while composite inclined retaining structures (CIRSs) are more effective than IP in terms of deflection and bending moment reduction. The deformation-control mechanism of IP mainly comes from the decrease in the active earth pressure. …”
