Mannitol mediates the mummification behavior of Thitarodes xiaojinensis larvae infected with Ophiocordyceps sinensis

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionParasites can facilitate their own spread and reproduction by manipulating insect hosts behavior, as seen in the interaction between Thitarodes xiaojinensis and Ophiocordyceps sinensis. Infection by O. sinensis leads to the mummification of T.

Predicting the Drug Release Kinetics of Matrix Tablets [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we develop two mathematical models to predict the release kinetics of a water soluble drug from a polymer/excipient matrix tablet. The first of our models consists of a random walk on a weighted graph, where the vertices of the graph ...

Main effects of ascorbic acid levels and organic acid type on physicochemical properties, microbial populations, texture, and biogenic amine formation in sucuk

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Sucuk is a traditional Turkish dry fermented sausage, the quality and safety of which depend on physicochemical, microbiological, and biochemical changes during fermentation and ripening. Organic acids, their salts, and antioxidants such as ascorbic acid (AA) are widely used in fermented meat products; however, information about ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Alogliptin Reduces Oxidative Stress in Cardiomyocytes and Ameliorates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy via the AURKB/NLGN2 Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. This study investigated the effects of alogliptin on DCM and its underlying mechanisms. A DCM model was constructed and treated with alogliptin. Downstream targets of alogliptin were screened using bioinformatics analysis.

First-order transitions in glasses and melts induced by solid superclusters nucleated and melted by homogeneous nucleation instead of surface melting

, 2019
Supercooled liquids give rise, by homogeneous nucleation, to solid superclusters acting as building blocks of glass, ultrastable glass, and glacial glass phases before being crystallized.

Semi‐Automatic Assessment of Crohn's Disease Activity by Combined Analysis of Bowel Lesions and Creeping Fat

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop and evaluate Crohn‐BOOST, an open‐source tool enabling semi‐automatic segmentation of intestinal lesions and creeping fat on magnetic resonance enterography (MR Enterography), and to assess whether quantitative metrics derived from these segmentations relate to radiological disease activity scored with simplified MaRIA ...

Hemp Seed Priming via Different Agents to Alleviate Temperature Stress

Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seeds were treated with different priming agents (water, -0.8 MPa PEG 6000, 50 mMol thiamine and 10 mMol mannitol) and subjected to different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C).

Synthesis of polyformals [PDF]

, 1981
Formals of CH2OH(CHOH) sub n CH2OH polyols (n = 2 to 4) are prepared in less than 15 minutes by heating to about 125 C, a mixture of e.g. sorbitol and paraformaldehyde in slight excess (5 to 10%), in the presence of e.g.

Sanitary risk in the handling of home‐prepared enteral formulations: A cross‐sectional assessment of microbiological contamination and food safety

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Studies show increased use of home enteral nutrition (HEN) owing to its benefits. However, knowledge about the sanitary risks of handling home‐prepared formulas remains limited despite their high contamination rates. This study aimed to assess the sanitary risks in the handling of home‐prepared enteral formulations by analyzing ...
