Volatilomics of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and sensory perception of wines are affected by canopy side in vineyards with different row orientations.

This study aimed to clarify how microclimate diversity altered volatilomics in Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and wines. Four row-oriented vineyards were selected, and metabolites of grapes and wines were determined from separate canopy sides. Results showed that shaded sides received 59% of the solar radiation and experienced 55% of the high-temperature days compared to the exposed sides on average.

Vineyard soil heterogeneity and harvest date affect volatolomics and sensory attributes of Cabernet Sauvignon wines on a meso-terroir scale.

To produce premium wines in a specific region is the goal of local oenologists. This study aimed to investigate the influence of soil properties and harvest date on the volatolomics of wine to provide a better insight into single-vineyard wines. Six Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards were selected in a semi-arid region to produce their wines at three harvest ripeness levels ranging from 23°Brix-28°Brix in three seasons (2019-2021).

The key role of vineyard parcel in shaping flavonoid profiles and color characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon wines combined with the influence of harvest ripeness, vintage and bottle aging.

Recently, revealing the influence on wine chemical features has drawn increasing interest. This study aimed to explain how wine flavonoid signatures were altered by vineyard parcel, harvest ripeness, vintage and bottle aging. Six commercial Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards were selected in the Manas region to produce wines at three harvest ripeness in three seasons (2019-2021) and aged for three years.

Manipulating the severe shoot topping delays the harvest date and modifies the flavor composition of Cabernet Sauvignon wines in a semi-arid climate.

This study aimed to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming by applying severe shoot topping (SST) to grapevines in a semi-arid climate. A three-year study (2018-2020) was performed to investigate the impact of SST on wine flavor composition. Results showed that SST effectively delayed the grape harvest date, which was more evident in the dry and warm vintage (7-11 d).

Volatomics of 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grapes and wines under the fan training system revealed the nexus of microclimate and volatile compounds.

The cluster-zone of the fan training system with multiple trunks (F-MT) distribute >1.5 m vertically and 1.0 m horizontally, which leads to microclimate heterogeneity around clusters.

Reducing the source/sink ratio of grapevine to face global warming in a semi-arid climate: Effects on volatile composition of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and wines.

The heterogeneity of the vineyard environment caused high variability in grape metabolites and flavor profiles, and the phenomenon was more prominent in recent years of climate change. Herein, distal leaf removal was applied in semi-arid Xinjiang to adjust the source to sink ratio of grapevines for three consecutive years (2018-2020). The grape-derived volatiles showed high correlations with specific climate factors such as temperature changes in the growth period.

Cluster spatial positions varied the phenolics profiles of 'Cabernet Sauvignon' grapes and wines under a fan training system with multiple trunks.

The fan training system with multiple trunks (F-MT) is widely used in the northern China winegrape region with high yield and convenience for burying soil to prevent winter cold. However, the wide distribution of clusters under F-MT usually leads to variations in berry compositions. In two consecutive years, clusters from different spatial positions were collected to determine the phenolic composition in grapes and resultant wines by HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS.

Evaluations and Mechanistic Interrogation of Natural Products Isolated From for the Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Mu Dan Pi (MDP), a traditional Chinese medicine derived from the root bark of Andrews, is used to treat autoimmune diseases due to its anti-inflammatory properties. However, the impact of MDP on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its principal active compounds that contribute to the anti-inflammatory properties are uncertain. Thus, this study systemically evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of fractionated MDP, which has therapeutic potential for IBD.

Distal leaf removal made balanced source-sink vines, delayed ripening, and increased flavonol composition in Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and wines in the semi-arid Xinjiang.

Leaf removal applied in the upper canopy of modified vertical shooting positioning trellis system has been proposed as an effective strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming on grape and wine quality. In this study, we removed the upper leaves of Cabernet Sauvignon canopy in a semi-arid climate for three consecutive years (2018-2020). About one-third of the whole canopy leaves were removed at the beginning of véraison (LR1) and post-véraison (LR2).

Inhibitory effects of areca nut extract on expression of complement receptors and fc receptors in human neutrophils.

Background: Chewing of areca quid increases the prevalence of periodontal diseases. Areca nut extract (ANE) inhibits the phagocytic activity of human neutrophils. This in vitro study investigates the effects of ANE on complement- and antibody-opsonized phagocytosis by neutrophils.

Bacterial adhesion to antibiotic-loaded guided tissue regeneration membranes - a scanning electron microscopy study.

Background/purpose: Bacterial contamination of sites undergoing guided tissue regeneration (GTR) therapy may reduce the efficiency of periodontal regeneration. This study compared bacterial adhesion onto various GTR membranes incorporated with antibiotics.

Methods: Three barrier membranes, including expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, collagen membrane, and glycolide fiber membrane, were loaded with tetracycline or amoxicillin.

Bacterial penetration through antibiotic-loaded guided tissue regeneration membranes.

Background: This study compared bacterial penetration through guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes impregnated with antibiotics.

Methods: Three barrier membranes, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, collagen membrane, and glycolide fiber composite membrane, were loaded with amoxicillin or tetracycline. The penetration of Streptococcus mutans and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (previously Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans) through the GTR membranes was achieved using a device consisting of an inner tube and an outer bottle filled with culture media.
