Professor Liu Ruiqiang's Translafectology, proposed in the late 1980s, offers a groundbreaking perspective for traditional translation studies. Its Generalized Translation Effectology primarily examines the multidimensional impact of translation on target cultures in cultural, social, and political dimensions. Based on the cultural research framework of Generalized Translation Effectology, this paper systematically investigates the unique expression of feminist consciousness in Li Qingzhao's poems and its cross-cultural reconstruction during English translation. The study focuses on three core dimensions. First, through a diachronic analysis, it reveals the differentiated representation of feminist consciousness in Li Qingzhao's poems across three translation phases—the Colonial Period, the Academic Transition Period, and the Contemporary Reconstruction Period, demonstrating the co-evolutionary relationship between translation strategies and ideological paradigms of their respective eras. Second, from the perspective of translator subjectivity, it delves into how neutralized diction, deobjectification strategies, and semantic ambiguity reconstruct the original work's emphasis on women's self-worth, portrayal of survival predicaments, and defiance of feudal traditions. Third, it demonstrates how the translations positively influence Western academia's perception, target-language readers' reception, and global gender equality awareness by deconstructing the Orientalist gaze, reconfiguring lyric paradigms, and building universal emotional bridges. The findings indicate that the English translation of Li Qingzhao's poems is not merely an act of linguistic transfer but an active reproduction of feminist consciousness in cross-cultural contexts. Its effect chain spans from cultural image migration at the textual level to gender discourse reconstruction at the societal level. This study provides new empirical evidence from Chinese classical literature for feminist translation theory while offering methodological insights for the dissemination of gender perspectives in China's "Going Global" cultural strategy.

The human gut microbiome, comprising trillions of microorganisms, functions as an "essential organ" with metabolic, immunological, and protective roles critical to host health. This review synthesizes current evidence on the relationship between gut microbiota and chronic disease pathogenesis, drawing from 50 high-impact studies identified through a comprehensive literature search. Dysbiosis microbial imbalance is strongly associated with metabolic disorders (obesity, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD), cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune conditions, neurodegenerative diseases, and certain cancers. Key mechanisms include immune modulation, regulation of intestinal barrier integrity, and production of bioactive metabolites (short-chain fatty acids, trimethylamine N-oxide) that influence host physiology. Environmental factors, particularly diet and lifestyle, shape microbial composition, while therapeutic interventions including dietary modification, probiotics, and faecal microbiota transplantation show promise but variable efficacy. Despite significant advances in understanding microbiome-disease associations through highthroughput sequencing, challenges remain in establishing causality due to confounding variables and inter-individual variability. This review highlights the gut microbiome's pivotal role in chronic disease pathogenesis while identifying critical research gaps requiring longitudinal studies, standardised dysbiosis definitions, and rigorous validation of personalised therapeutic approaches.

Background: The rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria necessitates the exploration of alternative therapeutic agents from medicinal plants. Moringa oleifera, widely recognized for its nutritional and medicinal properties, represents a potential source of novel antibacterial compounds. Objective: This study evaluated the phytochemical composition and antibacterial activity of aqueous and ethanol extracts of Moringa oleifera leaves, seeds, and roots against clinical bacterial isolates. Methods: We collected clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhi from the Specialist Hospital in Sokoto. We prepared aqueous and ethanol extracts of M. oleifera leaves, seeds, and roots and screened them for phytochemical constituents. We evaluated antibacterial activity using the agar well diffusion method and determined minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) by broth dilution. We compared the extract's activity with that of ciprofloxacin, a standard antibiotic. Results: Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, phenols, glycosides, steroids, and carbohydrates, with distribution varying across plant parts and solvents. Ethanol extracts demonstrated stronger antibacterial activity than aqueous extracts. The seed ethanol extract produced the highest zones of inhibition against E. coli (25 mm) and S. aureus (25 mm). In comparison, the root ethanol extract showed strong activity against S. aureus (22 mm) and S. typhi (21 mm). S. aureus was the most susceptible organism, while P. aeruginosa exhibited the least susceptibility. MIC values ranged from 15.6 to 125 mg/mL, and MBC values ranged from 31.3 to 500 mg/mL. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in extract activity compared with ciprofloxacin (p = 0.428). Conclusion: Moringa oleifera extracts exhibit significant antibacterial activity against clinically relevant bacterial pathogens, supporting their potential as alternative or complementary therapeutic agents. Seed and root extracts showed particular promise, warranting further investigation and development.

Toni Morrison‘s work Beloved is a foundational text in Black feminist literary studies. However, the legal issues in it are also worth attention. From the perspective of law and literature, Beloved reveals the systemic oppression of Black motherhood under slavery, where maternal identity was commodified and legally reduced to reproductive utility. Yet Black mothers still actively sought a way out in this desperate situation. The protagonist Sethe‘s act of killing her baby was an extreme resistance against the power structure of slavery, attempting to regain her subject status. The support of the ―beloved community‖ also provided Black women with an ethical path beyond legal judgment, endowing Black mothers with new significance as subjects. At the same time, the novel reveals the moral ambiguity that the law has overlooked, providing ethical defense for the oppressed and giving Black mothers the possibility of narrative redemption and the return of dignity, echoing the call for poetic justice.
