The action of microorganisms can lead to a decrease in food freshness and cause food safety issues. Traditional packaging can only provide a certain antimicrobial effect and cannot indicate the freshness of food, which can no longer meet the needs of consumers. The preparation of intelligent packaging films with antimicrobial effects and freshness indication is an effective solution.

Savolitinib is a selective inhibitor that specifically targets the phosphorylation of mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) kinase. It has demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on the proliferation of tumor cells with METex14 skipping mutation, making it a promising treatment option. While it is the first approved small-molecule inhibitor specifically targeting MET kinase in China, there is limited information about its efficacy as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis (N3).

Agri-food wastewater systems consume about 70% of the world's fresh water and cause at least 80% of deforestation. Food wastewater is characterized by complex composition, a wide range of pollutants, and fluctuating water quality, which can cause huge environmental pollution problems if discharged directly.

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were prospectively analyzed, and the relationship between perioperative FeNO and POP was evaluated based on patients' basic characteristics and clinical data in the hospital.
Results: There were 218 patients enrolled in this study.
Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is obtained by processing mature coconut cores with mechanical or natural methods. In recent years, VCO has been widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries because of its excellent functional activities. VCO has biological functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral, and also has potential therapeutic effects on many chronic degenerative diseases.

Objectives: To explore the value of peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) in evaluating cough ability in patients undergoing lung surgery and evaluate the effectiveness of chest wall compression during the expiratory phase by PEF.
Methods: From September 2020 to May 2021, the researchers collected the data of patients who underwent lung surgery.
As non-coding RNA molecules, microRNAs (miRNAs) are widely known for their critical role in gene regulation. Recent studies have shown that plant miRNAs obtained through dietary oral administration can survive in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, enter the circulatory system and regulate endogenous mRNAs. Diet-derived plant miRNAs have 2'--methylated modified 3'ends and high cytosine and guanine (GC) content, as well as exosomal packaging, which gives them high stability even in the harsh environment of the digestive system and circulatory system.

pigments are a kind of high-quality natural edible pigments fermented by filamentous fungi, which have been widely used in food, cosmetics, medicine, textiles, dyes and chemical industries as active functional ingredients. Moreover, pigments have a good application prospect because of a variety of biological functions such as antibacterial, antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, regulating cholesterol, and anti-cancer. However, the low productivity and color value of pigments restrict their development and application.
