膳食、肠道微生物与人体健康

膳食与宿主的代谢、免疫系统密切相关。大量报道表明膳食显著影响肠道菌群的组成和功能,进一步影响宿主生理。基于肠道菌群膳食干预的健康调控策略已成为研究热点。本文作者综述了近年来国内外高水平团队的相关研究成果,介绍了膳食模式、膳食成分、功能膳食补充剂对肠道微生物及人体健康研究的相互关系,为相关膳食干预策略的开发提供一些借鉴和参考。     

Contrasting bio-optical characteristics of coastal water prior to and in the aftermath of a tropical super cyclone

Apparent and inherent optical properties were measured in the coastal region off Visakhapatnam (Bay of Bengal) during pre-monsoon season (January–May) of successive years, in-between of which the (October 2014) Hudhud super cyclone had landfall across. For 5 months after the cyclone in the region up to 50 m isobath, or 15 km from the coast and 6 months after the cyclone in the region up to 30 m isobath, or 5 km away, the particle back-scattering coefficient (b_bp) and remote-sensing reflectance (R_rs) were anomalously higher throughout the spectral region (400–700 nm) than during other times. The b_bp spectral slope coefficient γ is abnormally higher than predicted from the b_bp(680)–γ model relationship, and R_rs(685) is also abnormally higher than the significant R_rs(685)–chlorophyll-a (chl-a) relationship would predict. These exceptional properties are attributed to the presence of little absorbing and highly reflecting sub-micrometre-sized particles in fine suspension that leached from the coastal deposits emplaced in the study region from the nearby harbour during the cyclone. The optical properties recovered subsequently. In the period when the reflectance and scattering spectra are not recovered, the R_rs(685) is no longer a proxy of chl-a. Remote-sensing algorithms for phytoplankton abundance of the coastal region during this period need correction.     

Incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in 153 pregnancies with ultrasound detected fetal abnormalities

We report a caroticocavernous fistula (CCF) treated by an endovascular procedure in a young woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV, with severe bilateral carotid and vertebral artery dysplasia. The CCF, which appeared after minor trauma, was successfully occluded by a detachable balloon introduced into the venous side by an arterial approach. Six previously published cases are reviewed, five successfully treated. The difficulties and risks of the endovascular procedure due to the vascular changes, are emphasised. The possibility of the venous approach is discussed.     

Multiobjective fuzzy dominance based bacterial foraging algorithm to solve economic emission dispatch problem

This paper proposes the bacterial foraging meta-heuristic algorithm for multiobjective optimization. In this multiobjective bacterial foraging optimization technique, the most recent bacterial locations are obtained by chemotaxis process. Next, Fuzzy dominance based sorting procedure is used here to select the Pareto optimal front (POF). To test the suitability of our proposed algorithm we have considered a highly constrained optimization problem namely economic/emission dispatch. Now-a-days environmental concern that arises due to the operation of fossil fuel fired electric generators and global warming, transforms the classical economic load dispatch problem into multiobjective environmental/economic dispatch (EED) problem. In the proposed work, we have considered the standard IEEE 30-bus six-generator test system and the results obtained by proposed algorithm are compared with the other recently reported results. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is a capable candidate in solving the multiobjective economic emission load dispatch problem.
