Comparative Analysis of Egg Yolk Phospholipid Unsaturation and Its Impact on Neural Health in Alzheimer Disease Mice.

The mechanism of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (PC) in alleviating Alzheimer's disease (AD) has not yet been clear. The fatty acid composition of PC, especially the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), may be a critical determinant of their structural and functional roles. This study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the unsaturation levels of egg yolk PC and their impact on neurological health in a murine model of AD.

Expert consensus on the clinical strategies for orthodontic treatment with clear aligners.

Clear aligner treatment is a novel technique in current orthodontic practice. Distinct from traditional fixed orthodontic appliances, clear aligners have different material features and biomechanical characteristics and treatment efficiencies, presenting new clinical challenges. Therefore, a comprehensive and systematic description of the key clinical aspects of clear aligner treatment is essential to enhance treatment efficacy and facilitate the advancement and wide adoption of this new technique.

Biomechanical analysis of clear aligners for mandibular anterior teeth intrusion and its clinical application in the design of new aligner attachment.

Background: During the process of intruding the mandibular anterior teeth (MAT) with clear aligners (CA), the teeth are susceptible to undesigned buccal and lingual inclinations, leading to complications such as excessive alveolar bone resorption and root exposure that significantly compromise the treatment outcome. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the underlying causes and develop effective coping strategies.

Methods: We first statistically analyzed the clinical issues, then used FEA to explore their underlying mechanisms to guide the design of attachments in clinical practice.

A cation-gating mechanism for enhanced CO2/N2 separation by porous nanostructure supported ionic liquid membrane.

Expert consensus on orthodontic treatment of protrusive facial deformities.

Protrusive facial deformities, characterized by the forward displacement of the teeth and/or jaws beyond the normal range, affect a considerable portion of the population. The manifestations and morphological mechanisms of protrusive facial deformities are complex and diverse, requiring orthodontists to possess a high level of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in the relevant orthodontic field. To further optimize the correction of protrusive facial deformities, this consensus proposes that the morphological mechanisms and diagnosis of protrusive facial deformities should be analyzed and judged from multiple dimensions and factors to accurately formulate treatment plans.

Characterization of phospholipid profiles of egg yolks: Newly classified plasmalogens, distribution of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and the effects of dietary enrichment.

Triple-Combination Therapy with a Multifunctional Yolk-Shell Nanozyme Au@CeO Loaded with Dimethyl Fumarate for Periodontitis.

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is one of the most prevalent and complex oral conditions. Oxidative stress induced by the excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to periodontitis, which is closely associated with pathological processes, including mitochondrial dysfunction of periodontal cells and local immune dysregulation. However, current treatment modalities that target single pathological processes have limited long-term therapeutic effects.

Flavor properties of post-heated fermented milk revealed by a comprehensive analysis based on volatile and non-volatile metabolites and sensory evaluation.

Existing research on the post-heating processing of fermented milk has primarily focused on single post-heating treatments and the texture, while research on how changes in metabolites during different post-heating treatments affect flavor and sensory properties is limited. This study investigates the changes in volatile metabolites in fermented milk treated at different post-heating temperatures to determine the characteristic aroma types and analyzes the changes in non-volatile metabolites associated with aroma-active compounds or their precursors to clarify the causes of the altered flavor and sensory properties. The results showed that in the 65 °C and 75 °C treatments, 63 volatile compounds were produced by Strecker degradation, lipid oxidation and esterification to produce ketones and aldehydes.

2'-Fucosyllactose and 3'-Sialyllactose Reduce Mortality in Neonatal Enteroaggregative Infection by Improving the Construction of Intestinal Mucosal Immunity.
