BACKGROUND: Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) commonly presents with nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, delayed flatus or stool, and prolonged intolerance to oral intake. It can cause postoperative pain, delayed gastrointestinal motility, or intestinal obstru...

Black Soldier Fly Gut Microbiota as a Green Alternative to Chemical Fungicides: Broad-Spectrum Biocontrol and Implications for Reducing Fungicide Environmental Loading

Abstract Plant diseases cause 20%–40% of global crop losses, a problem traditionally managed by chemical fungicides whose extensive use leads to widespread environmental contamination and potential human health risks. This underscores an urgent need for sustainable, low-environme...

Dibutyl phthalate disrupts ESR1-GPX4 redox signaling and aggravates ovarian dysfunction in a PCOS-like mouse model

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), a widely used phthalate plasticizer, has been implicated in reproductive toxicity, but the molecular mechanisms by which experimental DBP exposure affects ovarian granulosa-cell function remain incompletely defined. In an exploratory clinical cohort, urin...
