The quality of colonoscopy is significantly influenced by the effectiveness bowel preparation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability cleansing between a new oral sulfate solution (OSS) standard polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder (PEG). This single center, randomized, superiority study recruited 679 outpatients who were assigned either OSS group (Group A) or PEG B). was evaluated using Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) compared two groups. Furthermore, data pertaining duration preparation, patient tolerability, occurrence adverse events also analyzed. According BBPS scores, A demonstrated higher preparation cleanliness than B. Additionally, achieved superior cleansing, as evidenced greater proportion patients with scores ≥ 8 B (75.3% vs. 55.2%, P < 0.05).

Abstract Six lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Algerian sheep’s milk, traditional butter, date palm sap and barley, which produce dextran, mannitol, oligosaccharides vitamin B 2 have been characterized. They were identified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides (A4X, Z36P, B12 O9) Liquorilactobacillus mali (BR201 FR123). Their exopolysaccharides synthesized sucrose by dextransucrase (Dsr) characterized dextrans with (1,6)- d -glucopyranose units in the main backbone branched at positions O -4, -2 and/or -3, side chain. A4X was best dextran producer (4.5 g/L), while other strains 2.1–2.7 g/L. Zymograms revealed that L. a single Dsr molecular weight (Mw) of ~ 145 kDa, Lc. possess one or two enzymes 170–211 kDa Mw. As far we know, this is first detection Dsr. Analysis metabolic fluxes six LAB produced mannitol (~ 12 g/L). The co-addition maltose–sucrose resulted production panose (up to 37.53 mM), an oligosaccharide known for its prebiotic effect. A4X, Z36P showed dextranase hydrolytic enzymatic activity able another trisaccharide, maltotriose, instance encoded strains. Furthermore, O9 grew absence riboflavin (vitamin ) vitamin, defined medium level 220 μg/L. Therefore, these LAB, especially B12, are good candidates development new fermented food biofortified functional compounds.
