[Epidemiology of burns in mayotte in 2022: an exhaustive study on a particular health area].

The last French department, created in 2011, Mayotte still lacks its integration into official health statistics, making it difficult to adapt care facilities to needs, as well as planning for prevention. We conducted a retrospective epidemiological study including all patients treated in the Mayotte burns unit between February 1, 2022 and January 31, 2023 (339 patients). We first studied burn patients on the island, i.

Ultrasonication coupled to enzymatic hydrolysis of soybean okara proteins for producing bioactive and bioavailable peptides.

This work was aimed to explore the antioxidative properties, bioavailability and the safety of bioactive peptides obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis of ultrasound-treated (UO) and untreated (nUO) soybean okara proteins. Particularly, the peptidomic profiles of both hydrolysates were examined using an untargeted metabolomics technique for suspect screening that was specifically designed for the profiling of short-chain peptides and relied on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) and bioinformatics. Next, both UO and nUO hydrolysates reduce Dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) enzyme activity until 39.

Ultrasonic chemical synthesis of zinc-manganese ferrites with improved magnetic properties.

Zinc-Manganese spinel ferrites (ZnMnFeO) are nowadays very attractive magnetic materials for cancer diagnostic and therapy. With the help of intense ultrasonic waves, sonochemical synthesis method was used to prepare stoichiometric and chemically homogenous nanoparticles by varying the manganese content. The crystal structure along with the size and shape of the as-prepared nanoparticles were described using XRD, TEM and FT-IR techniques, while cations distribution was carefully investigated using XPS and Mössbauer spectroscopic techniques and supported with density functional theory calculations.
