Genetic evidence linking gastroesophageal reflux disease to chronic kidney disease and kidney failure: a two-step Mendelian randomization study by Fanghong Zheng (8931326)

“…Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mediated 14.33%–43.24% of the effect of GERD on CKD progression, which was followed by systolic blood pressure (mediation: 3.85%–5.46%). These results supported a potentially causal damage effect of GERD against CKD progression, which T2DM and SBP considerably mediate. …”

Solar-driven hydrogen production from a water-splitting cycle based on carbon-TiO2 nano-tubes by Almomani F.

“…The C-Ti-NTs were prepared using an alkaline hydrothermal method, characterized using different state of art techniques and tested for the S-DPOH via water splitting. Adding a carbon layer on the surface of TiO2 nano-tube with a thickness of ~1 nm reduced the bandgap of the C-Ti-NTs 0.88 eV, improved the quantum efficiency under UV light to 100%, enhanced the absorption capacity under VIS-light and extremely suppressed the charge recombination. …”

Influence of a Biotechnologically Produced Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus sajor-caju) on the Gut Microbiota and Microbial Metabolites in Obese Zucker Rats by Garima Maheshwari (4013558)

“…Microbiota profiles were distinctly modulated by P. sajor-caju supplementation between the obese control rats and the obese rats fed the 5% P. sajor-caju-supplemented diet. P. sajor-caju enhanced the growth of SCFAs-producing bacterial genera, including Faecalibaculum, Bifidobacterium, Roseburia, and Blautia, and decreased the relative abundance of the pathogenic genus Escherichia–Shigella. …”

Image_1_Sarcolemmal Excitability, M-Wave Changes, and Conduction Velocity During a Sustained Low-Force Contraction.TIF by Javier Rodriguez-Falces (11568277)

“…The main findings were: (1) During the sustained contraction, conduction velocity remained unchanged. (2) The amplitude of the M-wave first phase decreased for the first ~30s (−7%, p<0.05) and stabilized thereafter, whereas the second phase amplitude increased for the initial ~30s (+7%, p<0.05), before stabilizing. (3) Both duration and area decreased steeply during the first ~30s, and then more gradually for the rest of the contraction. (4) During the sustained contraction, perceived effort increased fivefold, whereas knee extension EMG increased by ~10%. (5) Maximal voluntary force and peak twitch force decreased (respectively, −9% and −10%, p<0.05) after the low-force contraction. …”
