A novel approach has been developed to produce pure plant-based gel soy yogurt by combining soy proteins (7S/11S), high pressure homogenization, and glycation reaction.

This research sought to examine how the physicochemical characteristics of soy globulins and different processing techniques influence the gel properties of soy yogurt. The goal was to improve these gel properties and rectify any texture issues in soy yogurt, ultimately aiming to produce premium-quality plant-based soy yogurt. In this research study, the investigation focused on examining the impact of 7S/11S, homogenization pressure, and glycation modified with glucose on the gel properties of soy yogurt.

New clinical application of digital intraoral scanning technology in occlusal reconstruction: A case report.

Background: Digital intraoral scanning, although developing rapidly, is rarely used in occlusal reconstruction. To compensate for the technical drawbacks of current occlusal reconstruction techniques, such as time consumption and high technical requirements, digital intraoral scanning can be used in clinics. This report aims to provide a way of selecting the most suitable maxillo-mandibular relationship (MMR) during recovery.

Overexpression of CST4 promotes gastric cancer aggressiveness by activating the ELFN2 signaling pathway.

Gastric cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies of gastrointestinal cancer and its prognosis remains dismal because of the paucity of effective therapeutic targets. Here, we show that cystatin 4 (CST4) is markedly upregulated in gastric cancer cell lines and clinical tissues. Ectopic expression of CST4 in gastric cancer cells promoted proliferation, migration, and invasion of gastric cancer cells in vitro.

MiR-27a-3p promotes esophageal cancer cell proliferation via F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) suppression.

Emerging evidence has suggested that dysregulation of microRNA-27a-3p (miR-27a-3p) may contribute to tumor development and progression in various types of cancers. However, its role in esophageal cancer is still unknown. In the present study, miR-27a-3p was significantly increased in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues and cell lines.

[Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma of kidney: a clinicopathological study].

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, histogenesis and prognosis of mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC).

Methods: Five MTSCCs were studied with histochemical, immunohistochemical staining, electron microscopy, and review of the related literatures.

Results: Four cases of MTSCC were females and one was male.

[Characteristics of free Ca2+ distribution in cultured osteoclast-like cells].

Objective: To study the spatial distribution of free Ca2+ in osteoclast-like cells cultured on glass.

Methods: To detect the free Ca2+ in osteoclast-like cells, the images were analyzed with image software, using the laser scanning confocal microscope and fluorescent probe.

Results: At 37 degrees C the free Ca2+ in osteoclast-like cells could be labelled effectively with 10 micromol/L Fluo-3/AM, the intensity of Ca2+ fluorescent signal in the central part was greater than that in the peripheral part and in the same section the signal was not distributed evenly.

[Experimental study on the reconstruction of bone defects in vivo and the osteoinduction with degradation products of alpha-tricalcium phosphate cements in vitro].

Objective: This study was aimed to clarify the characteristics of alpha-tricalcium phosphate cements in reconstructing bone defects and the action of degradation products of cements in vitro.

Methods: The defect (diameter 1.5 cm) was created in the calvaria of rabbit.

[Intervention of cetirizine on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in cutaneous inflammation].

Aim: To study the intervention of cetirizine on monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in different cutaneous inflammation models.

Methods: Histamine and IFN-gamma stimulated dermal fibroblast cells and HaCaT cells to mimic cutaneous inflammation. Expression of MCP-1 was assessed by means of RT-PCR and ELISA.
