Study of Proximity Points and Fixed Points
Abstract: This paper explores the concepts of proximity points and fixed points, which are fundamental in mathematical analysis and nonlinear functional analysis. Fixed-point theorems play a crucial role in optimization, game theory, differential equations, and dynamic systems. Proximity points, an extension of fixed points, provide a more generalized approach, allowing near-coincidence rather than exact identity. The study discusses classical fixed-point theorems, such as Banach’s contraction principle, Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem, and Schauder’s …

Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4-Down Regulates TLR4 Mediated Inflammatory Responses in Sucrose Induced Diabetic Rats: A Novel Therapeutic Approach
Abstract: High sucrose diet (HSD) is known to induce type 2 diabetes. Recombinant Lactobacillus helveticus PJ4 was constructed to express the InuJ gene under the xylose promoter resulting in the secretion of inulosucrase enzyme in gastrointestinal tract which polymerizes the fructose moiety of sucrose to inulin type fructans. L. helveticus (pSLP-InuJ-Vhb) transformant (LHI) was intragastrically administered to rats fed with HSD diet. The composition of fecal microbiota and short-chain fatty acids …
