Abstract
In this work, a simple, convenient and cost-effective colorimetric aptasensor was successfully constructed for the detection of antibiotic residues in raw milk based on the property that aptamer (Apt) synergistically enhances the catalase-like activity of MOF-235. Under optimised conditions, the proposed colorimetric aptasensor exhibited a wide detection range (15-1500 nM) with a low detection limit (6.92 nM). Furthermore, the proposed aptasensor demonstrated high selectivity, good resistance to interference and storage stability. The proposed aptasensor was validated by spiking recovery in camel milk, cow milk and goat milk with satisfactory recoveries, which demonstrated the great potential of the aptasensor for further application in real food samples, and also suggested that MOF-235 can be used as a potential universal platform to build a sensitive detection platform for other targets.

Abstract
Adulteration of caprine dairy products raises concerns among consumers. This study aimed to identify the differences in oligosaccharide profiles of caprine dairy products, including raw milk, colostrum powder, and lactose powder, and their corresponding bovine dairy products, and provide new insights for detecting adulteration of bovine dairy products in caprine dairy products. Twenty-seven oligosaccharides were detected in caprine and bovine dairy products. The principal component analysis plot of the oligosaccharide profiles clearly differentiated among the six types of dairy products. Specific oligosaccharides that were most distinctive for caprine and bovine dairy products were identified. Lacto-N-triose (LNTri) could be used as a potential biomarker for distinguishing caprine milk from bovine milk, caprine colostrum powder from bovine colostrum powder, and caprine lactose powder from bovine lactose powder. The results demonstrated that oligosaccharides could be used as biomarkers for detecting bovine dairy products in caprine dairy products, especially caprine lactose powder.

Abstract
In this work, a novel 3D-DNA walker signal amplification strategy was designed to construct a fluorescent aptasensor for the detection of kanamycin (KAN). The aptasensor utilizes split aptamers for the synergistic recognition of KAN. The presence of KAN induces the split aptamers recombination to form the Mg2+-DNAzyme structure, which is activated by Mg2+ to drive the 3D-DNA walker process for cascading signal amplification. Employing gold nanoflowers (AuNFs) as walking substrate material increases the local DNA concentration to enhance the walker efficiency. The prepared fluorescent aptasensor achieved efficient and sensitive detection of KAN with satisfactory results in the concentration range of 1 × 10-8 - 1 × 10-3 μg/kg and the detection limit of 5.63 fg/kg. Meanwhile, the designed fluorescent aptasensor exhibited favorable specificity, anti-interference, storage stability and reproducibility, and verified the feasibility of its application in milk samples. The present work provides an effective tool for the regulation of KAN contamination in animal-derived foods with promising prospects.

Abstract
This study reported that fibrillar bridges (whey protein isolate nanofibrils, WPNs) were used to associate the casein (CA) nanoparticles through the pH-driven method to obtain the self-assembled WPN-CA complexes. Then, a novel technology involving cold plasma (CP) was innovatively proposed to enhance the protective properties of complexes. The confirmation of structural transitions and interactions resulting from the adjustment of WPN-to-CA ratios (WtCs) led to the identification of the complexes named WPCA (WtC1.0:1). Next, the results showed a rapid conjugation between WPCA and fucoidan (FD) with a degree of grafting of 16.03 % after 10 min CP treatment. The coupling of WPCA with FD to form conjugates was confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis, indicating covalent bonds' formation. FTIR spectroscopy revealed an augmentation in the intensity of the OH stretching vibration of the WPCA-FD conjugate, concomitant with a decrease in β-turns and an elevation in β-sheets content. Furthermore, the application of glycosylation treatment to WPCA-FD resulted in a noteworthy enhancement of both the thermal stability and antioxidant activity characteristics of WPCA. Our findings move a step forward, as CP-assisted Maillard reaction has shown potential as an efficient and energy-saving method to enhance the functional properties of milk-derived proteins in the food industry.

Abstract
The use of antibiotics to treat diarrhea and other diseases early in life can lead to intestinal disorders in infants, which can cause a range of immune-related diseases. Intestinal microbiota diversity is closely related to dietary intake, with many oligosaccharides impacting intestinal microorganism structures and communities. Thus, oligosaccharide type and quantity are important for intestinal microbiota construction. Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are functional oligosaccharides that can be supplemented with infant formula. Currently, information on GOS and its impact on intestinal microbiota diversity and disorders is lacking. Similarly, GOS is rarely reported within the context of intestinal barrier function. In this study, 16S rRNA sequencing, gas chromatography, and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the effects of GOS on the intestinal microbiota and barrier pathways in antibiotic-treated mouse models. The results found that GOS promoted Bifidobacterium and Akkermansia proliferation, increased short-chain fatty acid levels, increased tight junction protein expression (occludin and ZO-1), increased secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) and albumin levels, significantly downregulated NF-κB expression, and reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin-IL-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 levels. Also, a high GOS dose in ampicillin-supplemented animals provided resistance to intestinal damage.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of Camel milk peptides (CMPs) on Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice and reveal its related mechanism from the aspect of gut microbiota and metabolites. The administering CMPs significantly alleviated the weight loss, polydipsia and polyphagia, reduced fasting blood glucose (FBG), improved insulin resistance and sensitivity, and restored the level of serum hormones, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipid metabolic and tissue damage. Furthermore, CMPs intervention remarkably reversed gut microbiota dysbiosis in T2DM mice by reducing the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Allobaculum, Clostridium, Shigella and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, while increasing the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes and Blautia. Metabolomic analysis identified 84 different metabolites between T2DM and CMPs-treated groups, participating in three pathways of Pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, Phenylalanine metabolism and Linoleic acid metabolism. Ureidopropionic acid, pantothenic acid, hippuric acid, hydrocinnamic acid and linoleic acid were identified as key acidic metabolites closely related to hypoglycemic effect. Correlation analysis indicated that CMPs might have a hypoglycemic effect through their impact on gut microbiota, leading to variations in short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), acidic metabolites and metabolic pathways. These findings suggest that CMPs could be a beneficial nutritional supplement for intervention T2DM.

Abstract
Milk oligosaccharides (MOs) have unique health benefits for newborns, and MOs are important components in mammalian milk. The present study was conducted to provide a comprehensive analysis of MOs in important domestic animals, including goats, cows, camels and sheep. The comparison with human MOs was conducted simultaneously. Furthermore, analysis of the relative abundance of sheep MOs among different breeds (Hu sheep, East Friesen sheep, East Friesen-Hu crossbred sheep) and lactation periods (colostrum, mature milk) was performed. In general, 35, 24 19, 26, and 16 MOs were identified in human, goat, bovine, camel and sheep milk, respectively. The type of sheep MOs was not greatly influenced by the breeds and lactation period. Hu sheep colostrum had the highest abundance of MOs among six sheep milks, followed by East Friesen sheep colostrum, while East Friesen-Hu crossbred sheep mature milk had the lowest abundance of MOs. These findings provide evidence for the potential value of MOs from domestic animal milk for the commercial applications.

Abstract
Polar lipids play essential biological functions in energy storage, both as structural components of cell membranes and as signaling molecules. In this study, a comprehensive UHPLC-QTRAP-MS-based lipidomic analysis of mature breast milk (BM) and ewe milk (EM) was conducted. Through the analysis, a total of 362 polar lipid species from 14 subclasses were characterized, including 60 phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs), 59 phosphatidylcholines (PCs), 38 phosphatidylinositols (PIs), 35 sphingomyelins (SMs), and 34 ceramides (Cers). Of these, 139 lipid molecules were screened as significantly differentially expressed polar lipids (SDPLs) between the two kinds of milk based on the following criteria: a variable importance in projection (VIP) value > 1.0, a false discovery rate-adjusted P-value < 0.0001, and a fold change (FC) of either > 2.0 or < 0.5; these included 111 upregulated and 28 downregulated SDPLs in EM compared to BM. Among these SDPLs, the content of PE (16:1_18:0) was found to be significantly higher in EM compared to BM (FC = 69.5853, P < 0.0001). Moreover, sphingolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism were determined to be vital metabolic pathways. This was derived from the finding that PE, PC, SM, and PI were key lipid metabolites in the two kinds of milk that were related to these two metabolic pathways. This study provides new insights into the characterization of SDPLs in mammalian milk, and also provides a theoretical basis for optimizing infant formula.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulatory role of the long non-coding RNA LINC00926 in pyroptosis of hypoxia-induced human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and explore the molecular mechanism. METHODS HUVECs were transfected with a LINC00926-overexpressing plasmid (OE-LINC00926), a siRNA targeting ELAVL1, or both, followed by exposure to hypoxia (5% O2) or normoxia. The expression of LINC00926 and ELAVL1 in hypoxia-treated HUVECs was detected using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting. Cell proliferation was detected using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), and the levels of IL-1β in the cell cultures was determined with ELISA. The protein expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins (caspase-1, cleaved caspase-1 and NLRP3) in the treated cells were analyzed using Western blotting, and the binding between LINC00926 and ELAVL1 was verified with RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay. RESULTS Exposure to hypoxia obviously up-regulated the mRNA expression of LINC00926 and the protein expression of ELAVL1 in HUVECs, but did not affect the mRNA expression of ELAVL1. LINC00926 overexpression in the cells significantly inhibited cell proliferation, increased IL-1β level and enhanced the expressions of pyroptosis-related proteins (all P < 0.05). LINC00926 overexpression further up-regulated the protein expression of ELAVL1 in hypoxia-exposed HUVECs. The results of RIP assay confirmed the binding between LINC00926 and ELAVL1. ELAVL1 knockdown significantly decreased IL-1β level and the expressions of pyroptosis-related proteins in hypoxia-exposed HUVECs (P < 0.05), while LINC00926 overexpression partially reversed the effects of ELAVL1 knockdown. CONCLUSION LINC00926 promotes pyroptosis of hypoxia-induced HUVECs by recruiting ELAVL1.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides and N/O-glycans are abundant in human milk and have numerous biological functions (for instance sialylated glycans provide sialic acid for the growth of infant brains), but their variation trends during lactation need further exploration. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of oligosaccharides and N/O-glycans in human milk at different lactation stages (from 7 days to 8 months) were performed using UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS. Thirty-four oligosaccharides, twenty-three N-glycans, and six O-glycans were identified. Oligosaccharides showed the highest abundance in human colostrum and decreased with the progression of lactation, and the abundance of N/O-glycans fluctuated as lactation progressed, while a high abundance of sialylated oligosaccharides and sialylated N/O-glycans was observed in human colostrum. These findings provide evidence for breastfeeding support and contribute to the development of infant formula supplemented with human milk glycans.

Abstract
In the present study, the different lipidomes between human milk and ruminant milk were compared. The 471, 376, 467, and 87 differential lipids were identified in human versus cow, goat, sheep, and camel groups, respectively. According to multivariate statistical analysis, lipids in human and camel milk were closer but differed from other milk. The distributions of long-chain and polyunsaturated fatty acids of triglycerides (TGs), the proportions of functional TGs (OPO, OPL, and PPO), and many kinds of phospholipids (PLs) (PS, PI, GD, GM3, and Cer) in human milk were similar to those in camel milk. The similar structure of TGs and proportion of PLs in human milk to camel milk might contribute to their similar digestion and bioactivity properties. Camel milk could be considered as a new resource of lipid base for infant formula. Minor PLs should also be considered for designing formula. Our results provide a new sight for humanized lipids in infant formula.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite reports on neuroprotective effects of dietary theobromine intake, whether dietary theobromine has beneficial effects on cognitive function is unclear. OBJECTIVES To investigate the association between dietary theobromine and cognitive function. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING Data were collected from the 2011-2014 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the USA. PARTICIPANTS A representative American population aged ≥60 years. MEASUREMENTS L-theobromine was treated as a log transform and dichotomous form (the highest quantile vs. others). Cognitive function was measured using four tests: Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word Learning tests, Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease delayed recall test, animal fluency test, and digit symbol substitution test. We conducted multiple regression analyses and subgroup analyses to study the association between theobromine and cognitive performance. Basic characteristics, lifestyle factors, disease history, and nutritional intake were adjusted for in these models. RESULTS A total of 2,845 participants were included in the study. The highest quantile of L-theobromine intake was positively associated with sores of delayed recall, animal fluency, and digit symbol substitution tests (β, 95% confidence interval, P: 0.11, -0.00-0.30, 0.049; 0.50, 0.02-0.99, 0.043; 1.55, 0.33-2.77, 0.015; respectively) in the fully adjusted model, but not with immediate recall score (β=0.13, 95% confidence interval -0.16-0.43, P=0.361). Subgroup analyses showed that L-theobromine intake was associated with cognitive performance in the highest quantile of caffeine intake. CONCLUSIONS Daily theobromine intake was associated with cognitive performance in a large nationally representative population. However, further research is needed to corroborate our findings.

Abstract
Supplementation of probiotics is a promising method to alleviate colorectal cancer (CRC) via modulating the intestinal microenvironment. This study aimed to assess the potential anti-CRC effect of Companilactobacillus crustorum MN047 on an azoxymethane and dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis-associated (CA)-CRC mouse model. Mice were gavaged with C. crustorum MN047 once daily (∼1 × 109 CFU per mouse). The CA-CRC ameliorating effect of this strain was investigated based on the gut microbiota, inflammation and intestinal barrier integrity. Results showed that C. crustorum MN047 could significantly attenuate tumorigenesis and inflammation via suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB pathway. Moreover, this probiotic could improve the intestinal barrier integrity by increasing the mRNA level of some tight junction-related proteins and reducing goblet cell loss. In addition, C. crustorum MN047 administration led to an increase in beneficial bacteria and a decrease in harmful bacteria, thereby increasing SCFAs and reducing LPS levels. These results suggested that C. crustorum MN047 could partially ameliorate the formation of CA-CRC by modulating the gut microbiota, attenuating inflammation and enhancing the intestinal barrier integrity. Therefore, C. crustorum MN047 was a promising probiotic supplement for attenuating CA-CRC.

Abstract
Objective: The objective of this paper is to provide empirical guidance by comparing the performance of six different area-level SDoH measurement approaches in predicting patient referral to a social worker and hospital admission after a primary care visit.Methods: We compared the performance of six area-level SDoH measurement approaches in predicting patient referral to a social worker and hospital admission after a primary care visit using random forest classification algorithm. Data came from 209,605 patient encounters at a federally qualified health center. Models with each area-based measurement approach were compared against the patient-level data only model using area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity, and precision.Results: Addition of area-level features to patient-level data improved the overall performance of models predicting need for a social worker referral. Entering area-level measures as individual features resulted in highest model performance.Conclusion: Researchers seeking to include area-level SDoH measures in risk prediction may be able to forego more complex measurement approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The intestinal microbiota and metabolites play an important role in human health and immunity. However, few studies have investigated the long-term effects of stachyose on the human intestinal microbiota and metabolism. Therefore, in this study, the feces of infants were transplanted into germ-free mice, and the effect of long-term stachyose intake on intestinal metabolism was examined by comparing the results of microbiome and metabolome analyses. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used to study the effects of stachyose intake on the metabolites and metabolic pathways of the transplanted human intestinal microbiota. RESULTS We observed that stachyose significantly altered the composition of the intestinal microbiota and metabolites, up-regulated production of the metabolite taurocholic acid, down-regulated amino acid metabolism, and significantly regulated the metabolism of taurine and hydroxytaurine, pantothenate and coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis, and other signaling pathways. CONCLUSION These findings may provide a basis for elucidating the mechanism by which stachyose promotes host health. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Structural changes of cytochrome c and its relationship with apoptosis and protein degradation of bovine muscle during postmortem aging were investigated. Results from amide I and amide II ~ VI showed that the π* orbital d electron decreased, the π electron density increased, and the frequency of the C-N stretching vibration increased. The distance between heme Fe and N atoms of the porphyrin decreased, the bond length decreased, and the heme core size decreased. Besides, Fe ligand vibration related Raman bands of cytochrome c had red (right) shift gradually with the extension of aging. The apoptotic rate and the degradation products of desmin and troponin-T were increased (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis results suggested that Fe ligand vibration, not amide I ~ VI related Raman bands were correlated with cytochrome c mediated apoptosis and degradation of myofibrillar protein of bovine muscle during aging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the era of precision medicine, molecular and genetic biomarkers act as the key indicators for glioma patients' recurrence and prognosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We summarize the biomarkers of glioma prognosis from molecular level, gene level and microRNA level. RESULTS In molecular biomarkers, cyclinD1 high expression/P16 low expression, MIF high expression and VEGF high expression were all related to glioma patients' poor prognosis; in genetic biomarkers, MGMT promoter methylation absence, IDH1 wild type, HIF-α high expression, Chromosome 1p/19q non-deletion and TERT promoter mutation were associated with poor prognosis for glioma; in microRNA biomarkers, miR-524-5p, miR-586, miR-433, miR-619, miR-548d-5p, miR-525-5p, miR-301a, miR-210, miR-10b-5p, miR-15b-5p and miRNA-182 high expression, miR-124, miR-128, miR-146b and miR-218 low expression were commonly seen in glioma poor prognosis patients. CONCLUSIONS With the continuous development of science and technology, the diagnosis of glioma will tend to the gene and molecular level. Finding specific markers is helpful for the early diagnosis and accurate prognosis of glioma, which provides the possibility for individualized treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
This study was performed to investigate the differences in blood pressure among different groups of snoring children and among different sleep stages.In recent years, the incidence of OSAS in children has increased year by year. Blood pressure research of OSAS children can better understand the occurrence of OSAS related complications. Early detection and intervention of blood pressure changes in children with OSAS can effectively reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease in adulthood and lower the disease burden.
Methods
Habitually snoring children (snoring frequency of ≥3 nights per week) aged 3to 11 years were recruited from Beijing Children’s Hospital, Capital Medical University from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2018. All children underwent polysomnography, and their blood pressure was monitored and calculated by the pulse transit time. The children were divided into those with primary snoring (PS), mild obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and moderate to severe OSAS according to their obstructive apnea-hypopnea index (OAHI).
Results
In total, 140 children were recruited. Ninety-seven had PS, 24 had mild OSAS, and 19 had moderate to severe OSAS. There were no differences in age, sex, or body mass index z-score among the groups. Statistically significant differences were found in the OAHI, oxygen desaturation index 3%, respiratory arousal index, and lowest oxygen saturation among the three groups. Children with moderate to severe OSAS had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure than those with mild OSAS and PS (P < 0.001). In all children, systolic and diastolic blood pressure was higher in the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep stage than in the non-REM sleep stage (P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Children with moderate to severe OSAS had higher blood pressure than those with PS and mild OSAS. Blood pressure in the REM sleep stage was higher than that in other sleep stages in all groups of children.

Abstract
Goat milk oligosaccharides are complex carbohydrates with a variety of biological functions. Free oligosaccharides from goat milk show more similarity to human milk than cow milk. At present, changes in goat milk glycoconjugates at different parities remain poorly studied. Herein, we qualitatively and quantitatively compared the goat milk glycoprotein N/O-glycome at different parities using a stable isotope labeling followed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and online hydrophilic interaction chromatography. N-Glycans were mainly fucosylated and nonfucosylated nonsialylated, and both fucosylation and sialylation gradually increased with parity, amounting (at the third parity) to 1.25 times and 3.3 times those of the first parity, respectively. O-Glycans were mostly nonfucosylated and nonsialylated, and sialylation increased with increasing parity, and Neu5Ac-sialylated was up to 9 times higher in the third parity than in the first parity, whereas Neu5Gc-sialylated was 5.5 times higher. This study provides a reference for exploring an alternative milk source closest to human milk and for the development of humanized formula milk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nursing students report high levels of anxiety and depression, which requires urgent attention. A growing amount of evidence indicates that self-compassion may indirectly (through perceived stress) and directly influence anxiety and depression, yet the research to date has not fully examined the reasons for this association. The present study examines the effects of self-compassion on anxiety and depression through perceived stress and may thus provide an innovative starting point for developing effective interventions for affected nursing students. STUDY DESIGN This is a cross-sectional study. METHODS Using structural equation modelling (SEM), we estimated the strength of the pathways between self-compassion, perceived stress and anxiety and depression among 1453 nursing students in Ningbo, China. The measurements included demographics, the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form, the Chinese version of the Perceived Stress Questionnaire and the Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale. RESULTS Nursing students had an average score of 4.50 ± 2.44 on the Goldberg Anxiety Scale (GAS) and 3.58 ± 2.34 on the Goldberg Depression Scale (GDS), indicating high levels of anxiety and depression. The GAS and GDS scores were significantly different by the academic year, part-time employment and career prospects. The average scores for self-compassion and perceived stress were 38.99 ± 4.55 and 0.40 ± 0.14, respectively. The SEM results suggested that self-compassion was negatively associated with anxiety and depression (-0.44, P < 0.001). Perceived stress was positively associated with anxiety and depression (0.64, P < 0.001). Self-compassion was negatively associated with perceived stress (-0.65, P < 0.001). Self-compassion had no significant correlation with anxiety and depression in the effect of perceived stress (-0.14, P = 0.127). Thus, self-compassion indirectly influences anxiety and depression through perceived stress. CONCLUSIONS Self-compassion might reduce nursing students' anxiety and depression through perceived stress. Interventionists can consider using self-compassion training to alleviate perceived stress, anxiety and depression in nursing students.

Abstract
Background: Lymphatic malformation (LMs) is a low flow vascular malformation, with a morbidity rate of 1/2000 in neonates. Most of the LMs were found in the head and neck. Compared with the macrocrystic ones, the microcrystic LMs show stronger invasiveness and wider involved range, which leads to higher treatment difficulty and recurrence rate as well as a serious impact on patients´ health and quality of life. Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral sildenafil in treatment of pediatric head and neck LMs. Methods: In total, 21 children diagnosed with LMs were given oral sildenafil and stopped at week 24. Therapeutic outcome was evaluated by comparing lesions' volume change with baseline. In addition, symptoms improvement and adverse effects were also recorded during the follow-up period. Results: Eight patients (38.0%) showed excellent improvement (>75%-100%), 1 patient (4.8%) had good (>50%-75%), 2 patients (9.6%) had fair (>25%-50%), 3 patients (14.3%) had minimal (0%-25%), and 7 patients (33.3%) had no improvement. The snoring or stridor completely disappeared in 2 subjects, although there was no apparent decrease in LMs size. Moreover, all 3 patients with macrocystic lesions displayed a positive response to sildenafil treatment, followed by mixed type (9/12, 75%). Only 2 out of 6 patients with microcystic lesions had minimal clearance. Only 4 patients showed transient mild diarrhea, there was no other adverse effect in this series. Conclusion: Our study showed that low-dose oral sildenafil citrate tablets are safe and effective to decrease the lesions volume in some LMs children, especially with macrocystic lesion or mixed type.

Abstract
We present a new stacked TunaDrive motor with two intact piezoelectric stacks being spring-clamped by a pair of parallel highly polished zirconia ceramic rods. Compared with the earlier version we presented with five stacks, it has a simpler and more compact structure and is much easier to build. Although the usage of piezoelectric material is cut by ∼35%, the motor can still provide a large output force of ∼1.92 N, which is nearly the same as that of the earlier version. The simple and symmetrical structure, high rigidity, and large output force make the new motor an ideal tool for coarse approach with nanometer precision.

Abstract
The positive influence of crystallographic compatibility on the thermal transformation stability has been already investigated extensively in the literature. However, its influence on the stability of the shape memory effect or superelasticity used in actual applications is still unresolved. In this investigation sputtered films of a highly compatible TiNiCuCo composition with a transformation matrix middle eigenvalue of 1±0.01 are exposed to thermal as well as to superelastic cycling. In agreement with previous results the thermal transformation of this alloy is with a temperature shift of less than 0.1 K for 40 cycles very stable; on the other hand, superelastic degradation behaviour was found to depend strongly on heat treatment parameters. To reveal the transformation dissimilarities between the differently heat-treated samples, the microstructure has been analysed by transmission electron microscopy, in situ stress polarization microscopy and synchrotron analysis. It is found that good crystallographic stability is not a sufficient criterion to avoid defect generation which guarantees high superelastic stability. For the investigated alloy, a small grain size was identified as the determining factor which increases the yield strength of the composition and decreases the functional degradation during superelastic cycling.This article is part of the themed issue 'Taking the temperature of phase transitions in cool materials'.

Abstract
Cronobacter sakazakii (formerly Enterobacter sakazakii) is an opportunistic pathogen that causes meningitis, sepsis, and necrotizing enterocolitis in neonates and infants through consumption of contaminated milk-based foods. In this study, the prevalence of C. sakazakii in 705 retail milk-based infant and baby food samples was investigated in 12 cities in Shaanxi, China, in 2010 and 2012. One hundred and nineteen samples (16.9%) were C. sakazakii positive. The isolates were further characterized for antimicrobial susceptibility to 14 antibiotics, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles, and presence of the virulence genes. Samples of brand W, Y, A, and G in 2010 and 2012 were C. sakazakii positive. All isolates recovered in 2010 and 2012 were susceptible to levofloxacin and cefoperazone. In 2012, no isolate was resistant to gentamicin, cefoxitin, chloramphenicol, gatifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and ceftriaxone. Antibiotic resistance of the isolates was most commonly found to rifampicin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, streptomycin, tetracycline, and ampicillin in both 2010 and 2012, except to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole in 2012. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles indicated that C. sakazakii isolates were genotypically diverse, although these isolates were prevalent in infant and baby foods with the same brand. A total of 34 virulence gene profiles of the C. sakazakii isolates in 2010 and 2012 were detected. Isolates that co-carried hly-ompX-eitCBAD-iucABCD/iutA genes in 2012 were significantly (p < 0.05) more prevalent than those in 2010. The results added new epidemiological evidence for the widespread occurrence of C. sakazakii in retail milk-based infant and baby foods and this should be an indicator of potential health risk for consumers.

Abstract
Stem cells are unique cell types capable to proliferate, some of them indefinitely, while maintaining the ability to differentiate into a few or any cell lineages. In 2003, a group headed by Hans R. Schöler reported that oocyte-like cells could be produced from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro. After more than 10 years, where have these researches reached? Which are the major successes achieved and the problems still remaining to be solved? Although during the last years, many reviews have been published about these topics, in the present work, we will focus on an aspect that has been little considered so far, namely a strict comparison between the in vitro and in vivo developmental capabilities of the primordial germ cells (PGCs) isolated from the embryo and the PGC-like cells (PGC-LCs) produced in vitro from different types of stem cells in the mouse, the species in which most investigation has been carried out. Actually, the formation and differentiation of PGCs are crucial for both male and female gametogenesis, and the faithful production of PGCs in vitro represents the basis for obtaining functional germ cells.

Abstract
Oxidation is an important factor for denaturing of whey protein isolate (WPI) during food processing. We studied the effects of chemical oxidation on physicochemical and structural changes along with in vitro digestibility of WPI in this work. Evaluation of physicochemical changes showed that carbonyl level and dityrosine content increased, whereas total and free thiol group levels decreased for oxidized WPI samples. For the structural changes, protein aggregation was measured by surface hydrophobicity, turbidity, and particle diameter, which was increased for oxidized WPI samples. The increase of the secondary structure β-sheets and antiparallel β-sheet also supported the aggregation of oxidized WPI. A direct quantitative relationship between physicochemical and structural changes and protein digestibility indicated that oxidation-related damage restricts the susceptibility of WPI to proteases. In conclusion, WPI had high susceptibility to oxidative stress, and both physicochemical and structural changes caused by severe oxidative stress could decrease the rate of in vitro digestibility of WPI.

Abstract
Moso bamboo is a large woody bamboo with the highest ecological, economic, and cultural value among all bamboos in Asia. However, environmental stress influences its growth and development and limits its geographic distribution. Therefore, improving its resistance to environmental stress is extremely important. Dehydration responsive element binding (DREB) transcription factors perform an important role in the regulation of stress-related genes, enhancing the resistance of plants to abiotic stress. In the current study, two novel DREB genes, PeDREB2A and PeDREB1A (Gene ID No. PH01000046G1730 and PH01000668G0350), were isolated from moso bamboo and the sequences were identified and characterized (coding sequence lengths were 795 and 825 bp, respectively). The PeDREB2A and PeDREB1A proteins were estimated to have typical AP2/ERF domains, molecular weights of 28.96 and 28.84 kDa, and isoelectric points of 9.47 and 5.34, respectively. RT-PCR analysis revealed that PeDREB2A and PeDREB1A were tissue-specific genes, expressed in leaves, young stems, and roots, with similar expression levels in leaves and young stems. qRT-PCR analysis of leaves demonstrated that PeDREB2A transcription levels rapidly accumulate following exposure to drought and salt stress, peaking at 12 and 0.5 h, respectively, but only low expression levels were observed under cold stress. PeDREB1A exhibited a strong response to cold stress, reaching a peak in expression 3 h after exposure, but demonstrated only a slight response to drought and salt stress. In roots, PeDREB2A was down-regulated, and PeDREB1A was initially upregulated but then declined, under stress conditions. Two plant expression vectors, pCAMBIA2300- CaMV35S-PeDREB2A and pCAMBIA2300-CaMV35S-PeDREB1A were also successfully constructed.
