Characterization of Poultry Gelatins Prepared by a Biotechnological Method for Targeted Changes at the Molecular Level.

Chicken collagen is a promising raw material source for the production gelatins and hydrolysates. These can be prepared biotechnologically using proteolytic enzymes. By choosing the appropriate process conditions, such changes can be achieved at the molecular level of collagen, making it possible to prepare gelatins with targeted properties for advanced cosmetic, pharmaceutical, medical, or food applications.

Comparative Analysis of Stress-Protective Activity and Prevention of Fatigue during Physical Load of Standardized Humic Acids from Peat and Officinal Preparations of Succinic Acid in Experiment.

The effect of humic acids and substances with similar action - derivatives of succinic acid (ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate) and combined agent consisting of succinic acid, nicotinamide, riboflavin, and riboxin on the performance and stress resistance of experimental rats was studied. Performance was assessed in the test of exhaustive forced swimming with a load, stress resistance was evaluated by the serum level of corticosterone and open field behavior, and the state of anaerobic metabolism was estimated by the serum level of lactate after swimming test. Humic acids from peat showed anti-stress activity comparable to that of the officinal preparation and preventive effect on fatigue during physical exercise.

Clinical and prognostic significance of detecting , , , and mRNA-positive cells in the peripheral blood, tumor-draining blood and bone marrow of non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Background: Surgical treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) yields highest expectations for recovery. However, the frequency of further disease progression remains high since micro-metastatic disease may be undetected by conventional diagnostic methods. We test the presence and prognostic impact of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood (PB), tumor-draining pulmonary blood (TDB) and bone marrow (BM) samples from NSCLC patients.

Antilisterial and Antimicrobial Effect of Essential Oil in Beef Sous-Vide Meat during Storage.

If food is contaminated with pathogens such as , improper cooking during sous-vide preparation can lead to foodborne illnesses. In this study, it was found that were inactivated with both heat and the essential oil of (sage EO) in beef tenderloin of the that had undergone sous-vide processing. To determine whether the enhancement of the efficacy of heat treatment is prospective, and sage EO were mixed.

Recent Advances in Methods for Circulating Tumor Cell Detection.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are released from primary tumors and transported through the body via blood or lymphatic vessels before settling to form micrometastases under suitable conditions. Accordingly, several studies have identified CTCs as a negative prognostic factor for survival in many types of cancer. CTCs also reflect the current heterogeneity and genetic and biological state of tumors; so, their study can provide valuable insights into tumor progression, cell senescence, and cancer dormancy.
