Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) poses a significant threat to public health and safety, and enhancing the monitoring ofS. aureusin food is essential to curb and prevent foodborne transmission. In order to obtain strains for more convenient and rapid use in quality control or quantitative analysis, this study designed a ready-to-use “ball-in-ball” microsphere based on a novel cryoprotectant combined with drop freeze-drying technology. When using a cryoprotectant that contains 1.5% bovine serum albumin, 4.5% trehalose, 8.2% polyethylene glycol 8000, and 4.1% D-mannitol, the survival rate ofS. aureuscan reach 98.2 ± 2.6%. This cryoprotectant effectively preventsS. aureusfrom shrinking, deforming, and damaging cell walls. Additionally, it shows desirable protective efficiency for other Gram-positive bacteria. The molding of microspheres is efficient and cost-effective, demonstrating good uniformity and stability without the need for pre-freezing. The moisture content and the count ofS. aureusshowed no significant changes over 90 days at −20 °C. In the simulated contaminated sample, the recovery rate ofS. aureusin milk and green tea was 83.1–93.7%. This study could provide a practical approach to improve the monitoring efficiency ofS. aureusand shows potential as a generalized strategy for preparing ready-to-use strains related to food safety.

Quercetin (QCT) is a flavonoid with significant health benefits, necessitating sensitive detection methods for food safety and quality control . This study presents a novel UiO-66-TCPP ratiometric fluorescent probe for the quantitative and visual detection of QCT. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity of UiO-66-TCPP decreased linearly with increasing QCT concentration, with a detection limit of 26 nM. The probe demonstrated high specificity, showing no significant interference from various substances and QCT analogues. Practical applicability was confirmed by testing artificially contaminated juice samples, achieving recovery rates between 98.0% and 104.8%. Furthermore, a paper-based sensor was developed by incorporating UiO-66-TCPP onto Whatman#1 chromatography paper . This sensor exhibited stable fluorescence and a reliable, sensitive visual response to QCT concentrations, detectable via a smartphone-based color recognizer application. The UiO-66-TCPP ratiometric fluorescent probe provides a sensitive, specific, and practical method for detecting QCT in food matrices, offering significant potential for both laboratory and on-site applications.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. In its early stages, a substantial influx of blood into the subarachnoid space triggers excessive activation of microglia, which markedly contributes to early brain injury (EBI), a pivotal determinant of poor prognosis. Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPSs), as acidic heteropolysaccharides from the fruiting bodies of Tremella, exhibit robust anti-inflammatory characteristics and many biological properties. Nonetheless, the impact of TFPSs on EBI after SAH has yet to be reported, and the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remain elusive. We used in vivo and in vitro models to study the effects of TFPSs on microglia post-SAH. Network pharmacology analysis was used to predict the targets of TFPSs and the pathways through which it exerts its therapeutic effects. These predictions were subsequently corroborated through flow cytometry, Western blotting, immunofluorescence staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and quantitative real‑time polymerase chain reaction, both in vivo and in vitro. After 24 h post-SAH, TFPS-treated mice presented improved neurological function and reduced cerebral edema. TFPSs reversed microglial activation, enhanced phagocytic ability, and reduced neuronal apoptosis. Network pharmacology identified KDR as a potential target of TFPSs, with the P38 MAPK pathway as the downstream pathway. TFPSs attenuated KDR expression, inhibited the P38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway, reduced inflammatory cytokine expression, and increased microglial phagocytic capacity post-SAH. This investigation revealed that TFPSs may ameliorate EBI after SAH, potentially via the regulation of the KDR-mediated P38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway and phagocytic function.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a prevalent inflammatory bowel disease, and conventional treatments, such as anti-inflammatory medications and surgery, often prove inadequate due to frequent recurrences and various complications. To alleviate patient suffering, there is an urgent need for a therapeutic system that specifically delivers drugs to the colon for wound healing, inflammation relief, and restoration of microbial homeostasis. In this paper, we developed a Tremella polysaccharide drug-carrying hydrogel that adheres to the inflamed colonic mucosa, forming an effective artificial barrier and releasing the drug in situ to restore local immune and microbial balance. The hydrogel backbone was synthesized through the chemical cross-linking of Tremella polysaccharide with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether in an alkaline environment. During this process, Soluplus® and TPGS-encapsulated ginsenoside compound K adhered to the hydrogel backbone due to electrostatic attraction. The enhanced adhesion following cross-linking enables the hydrogel to stably attach to the inflamed colonic mucosa, releasing mixed micelles that improve drug penetration and absorption by inhibiting the cellular efflux protein P-glycoprotein. This mechanism promotes local immune recovery and eliminates harmful intestinal flora, providing significant relief from UC symptoms. This natural polysaccharide-based hydrogel represents a highly effective oral treatment for UC.
