Article Synopsis
- The experiment aimed to analyze the microorganisms in meibomian gland secretions from patients with internal hordeolum before and after treatment with hypochlorous acid eyelid wipes to understand how this treatment works.
- The study involved eight patients, collecting samples before and after a week of using eyelid wipes, and used advanced sequencing to compare microbial flora in both groups.
- Results showed no significant differences in overall microbial diversity at the phylum level, but distinct changes in microbial communities emerged at the class level after treatment, indicating that eyelid cleaning affects the microbial makeup without altering overall biodiversity.
This study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using acetic acid (0-2.5%) as the catalyst in the production of pyrodextrins from corn starch at 140-180 °C, and to elucidate the effects of catalyst concentration and pyrolytic temperature on the characteristics of indigestible pyrodextrins. In the absence of acetic acid, noticeable changes to the loss of birefringence, increased solubility, plateau of molecular weight reduction, decreased reducing sugar content and digestibility were observed at 180 °C.
