Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition health has become a major public health issue in both high and middle-income countries. Nutrition literacy is an important indicator to evaluate the effect of public health intervention and one of the important concepts in health promotion. Thus, this study aimed to verify the reliability and validity of a nutrition literacy assessment questionnaire (NLAQ) and investigate the associated factors of nutrition literacy among college students. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of college students from April to November 2022 in Wuhan (N = 774). We employed the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the reliability and validity. We used latent profile analysis to classify the nutrition literacy. We conducted Chi-square test and binary logistic regression to identify the influencing factors. RESULTS The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the NLAQ and its dimension was ranging from 0.837 to 0.909. The common factors were consistent with the original dimensions. All indicators met the requirements (χ2/df = 6.16 < 8, GFI = 0.929, NFI = 0.939, CFI = 0.948, RMSEA = 0.082 < 0.1). College students' disciplines (χ2 = 7.769, P = 0.021), mothers' education level (χ2 = 26.599, P < 0.001), and fathers' occupation type (χ2 = 11.218, P = 0.024) had impacts on nutrition literacy. CONCLUSION The NLAQ has good reliability and validity, and could be used as a measurement tool to evaluate college students' nutrition literacy. Schools and families should take targeted measures to improve the college students' nutrition literacy.

Abstract
Obesity is a leading cause of multiple cancers, but whether it promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and its underlying cancer-promoting mechanism remains unclear. To evaluate the effect of a high-fat diet (HFD) on ESCC and explore the role and mechanism of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in HFD-induced ESCC, C57BL/6J mice were treated with 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) to induce ESCC and randomly assigned to an HFD or a normal-fat diet. An anti-Gr1 monoclonal antibody was used to deplete MDSCs in the context of experimental diets and ESCC induction. The expression of MDSC markers CD11b and Gr1 and immune checkpoints (ICs) PD1, TIM3, and VISTA in lesions were detected by immunohistochemistry. The correlation between myeloid cell markers (CD11b and CD33) and ICs and their relationship with ESCC patient prognosis were further analyzed using the The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. The results showed that HFD accelerated esophageal carcinogenesis, induced MDSC expansion, and upregulated IC expression, whereas depletion of Gr1+ myeloid cells significantly suppressed tumor growth, decreased the number of MDSCs, and downregulated IC expression in HFD mice. PD1, TIM3, and VISTA expressions were positively correlated with myeloid cell marker expression in human ESCC. Moreover, the high expression of IC molecules was associated with poor survival in patients with ESCC. These data indicate that HFD promotes the initiation and development of ESCC. Gr1+ myeloid cell targeting significantly inhibited ESCC formation in HFD mice, which may be associated with IC downregulation.

Abstract
As the most abundant and bioactive constituent in vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata), dihydromyricetin possesses numerous biological activities. A rapid profiling and identification method for dihydromyricetin metabolites in rats after the oral administration has been established using UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS coupled with multiple data-mining methods. Herein, an efficient analytical strategy characterized by parallel reaction monitoring mode combining diagnostic fragment ions filtering techniques was developed for the comprehensive identification of dihydromyricetin metabolites in rat plasma, urine and faeces. And then, the biotransformation pathways of dihydromyricetin were further revealed. As a result, a total of 49 metabolites were finally identified by comparing diagnostic fragment ions, chromatographic retention times, neutral loss fragment ions, and accurate mass measurement with those of dihydromyricetin reference standard. These metabolites were presumed to be dominantly generated through hydroxylation, dehydroxylation, methylation, reduction, sulfation, decarbonylation, glucuronidation, glucosylation, and their composite reactions. In a word, our present results not only supplied solid foundation to better understand the action mechanism of dihydromyricetin, but also provided some models for metabolism study of the other compounds in traditional Chinese medicines or other natural plants.

Abstract
In a broiler carcass production conveyor system, inspection, monitoring, and grading carcass and cuts based on computer vision techniques are challenging due to cuts segmentation and ambient light conditions issues. This study presents a depth image-based broiler carcass weight prediction system. An Active Shape Model was developed to segment the carcass into 4 cuts (drumsticks, breasts, wings, and head and neck). Five regression models were developed based on the image features for each weight estimation (carcass and its cuts). The Bayesian-ANN model outperformed all other regression models at 0.9981 R2 and 0.9847 R2 in the whole carcass and head and neck weight estimation. The RBF-SVR model surpassed all the other drumstick, breast, and wings weight prediction models at 0.9129 R2, 0.9352 R2, and 0.9896 R2, respectively. This proposed technique can be applied as a nondestructive, nonintrusive, and accurate on-line broiler carcass production system in the automation of chicken carcass and cuts weight estimation.

Abstract
In the current work, Lonicera japonica Flos (FLJ) was selected as a model Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and a protocol was proposed for the rapid detection of sulfur-fumigated (SF) CHMs. A multiple metabonomics analysis was conducted using HPLC, NIR spectroscopy and a UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. First, the group discriminatory potential of each technique was respectively investigated based on PCA. Then, the effect of mid-level metabonomics data fusion on sample spatial distribution was evaluated based on data obtained using the above three technologies. Furthermore, based on the acquired HRMS data, 76 markers discriminating SF from non-sulfur-fumigated (NSF) CHMs were observed and 49 of them were eventually characterized. Moreover, NIR absorptions of 18 sulfur-containing markers were identified to be in close correlation with the discriminatory NIR wavebands. In conclusion, the proposed protocol based on integrative metabonomics analysis that we established for the rapid detection and mechanistic explanation of the sulfur fumigation of CHMs was able to achieve variable selection, enhance group separation and reveal the intrinsic mechanism of the sulfur fumigation of CHMs.
