Protein dynamics underlies strong temperature dependence of heat receptors.

Ion channels are generally allosteric proteins, involving specialized stimulus sensor domains conformationally linked to the gate to drive channel opening. Temperature receptors are a group of ion channels from the transient receptor potential family. They exhibit an unprecedentedly strong temperature dependence and are responsible for temperature sensing in mammals.

A retrospective cohort study of the application of Santulli enterostomy in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.

The use of Santulli enterostomy (SE) for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) has been limited to a small number of studies involving a small number of patients and no control group. Our study aimed to compare the clinical safety and efficacy of Santulli enterostomy with those of single- or double-lumen enterostomy for neonatal NEC through a retrospective cohort study. One hundred ten patients who met the criteria were divided into an SE group (64 patients) and a conventional enterostomy (CE) group (46 patients).

Insight into the effect of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone on the changes of off-flavors in the preparation of soy protein isolate: Potential mechanisms of their reduction.

The effect of incorporating 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (furaneol) during soy protein isolate (SPI) preparation on off-flavor compounds was investigated. Sensory evaluation revealed that furaneol addition effectively reduced undesirable attributes such as grain husk, grassy, raw bean, tofu and oil oxidation, with the most significant decrease at 2 mg/L. Flavor analysis confirmed a significant reduction in both the variety and amount of off-flavors.

Effect of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate palmitate complexation under mild temperature on the structure and nutritional functions of porous rice starch.

The correlation among the hierarchical structure, physicochemical properties, and nutritional functions of porous rice starch after absorbing and complexing with (-)-epigallocatechin gallate palmitate (P-EGCG) under mild temperatures at different reaction times were investigated. The P-EGCG loading rate (19.6 %-28.

Synergistic transformation of Cr(VI) in lubricant degradation by bacterial consortium.

In recent years, it has become widely acknowledged that heavy metals are often present in oil-contaminated sites. This study utilized three specific types of microorganisms with different functions to construct a composite bacterial consortium for treating lubricant-Cr(VI) composite pollutants. The selected strains were Lysinbacillus fusiformis and Bacillus tropicus.
