Effect of ozone treatment on phenylpropanoid metabolism in harvested cantaloupes.

Phenylpropanoid metabolism plays an important role in cantaloupe ripening and senescence, but the mechanism of ozone regulation on phenylpropanoid metabolism remains unclear. This study investigated how ozone treatment modulates the levels of secondary metabolites associated with phenylpropanoid metabolism, the related enzyme activities, and gene expression in cantaloupe. Treating cantaloupes with 15 mg/m of ozone after precooling can help maintain postharvest hardness.

Intelligent devices for assessing essential tremor: a comprehensive review.

Essential tremor (ET) stands as the most prevalent movement disorder, characterized by rhythmic and involuntary shaking of body parts. Achieving an accurate and comprehensive assessment of tremor severity is crucial for effectively diagnosing and managing ET. Traditional methods rely on clinical observation and rating scales, which may introduce subjective biases and hinder continuous evaluation of disease progression.

Application of proteomics to determine the mechanism of ozone on sweet cherries ( L.) by time-series analysis.

This research investigated the mechanism of ozone treatment on sweet cherry ( L.) by Lable-free quantification proteomics and physiological traits. The results showed that 4557 master proteins were identified in all the samples, and 3149 proteins were common to all groups.

Colorectal cancer lymph node metastasis prediction with weakly supervised transformer-based multi-instance learning.

Lymph node metastasis examined by the resected lymph nodes is considered one of the most important prognostic factors for colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it requires careful and comprehensive inspection by expert pathologists. To relieve the pathologists' burden and speed up the diagnostic process, in this paper, we develop a deep learning system with the binary positive/negative labels of the lymph nodes to solve the CRC lymph node classification task.

Pseudogene AK4P1 promotes pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression through relieving miR-375-mediated YAP1 degradation.

Pseudogenes have been reported to play oncogenic or tumor-suppressive roles in cancer progression. However, the molecular mechanism of most pseudogenes in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unknown. Herein, we characterized a novel pseudogene-miRNA-mRNA network associated with PDAC progression using bioinformatics analysis.

Characterization and Antimicrobial Activity of Silver Nanoparticles Synthesized with the Peel Extract of Mango.

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from biological waste, as well as their excellent antibacterial properties, is currently attracting significant research attention. This study synthesized AgNPs from different mango peel extract concentrations while investigating their characteristics and antibacterial properties. The results showed that the AgNPs were irregular with rod-like, spherical shapes and were detected in a range of 25 nm to 75 nm.

Antifungal Effect of Chitosan/Nano-TiO Composite Coatings against , and .

Postharvest pathogens such as (MA), (ME) and (MF) are the causal agents of disease in mangoes. This paper presents an in vitro investigation into the antifungal effect of a chitosan (CTS)/nano-titanium dioxide (TiO) composite coating against MA, ME and MF. The results indicated that, the rates of MA, ME and MF mortality following the single chitosan treatment were 63.

Effects of ozone treatment on SOD activity and genes in postharvest cantaloupe.

Ozone has been shown to play a positive role in the storage and preservation of agricultural products. However, there is little research on the cantaloupe preservation mechanism of ozone treatment (OT), especially the effect on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the mechanism of scavenging superoxide anion In this study, xizhoumi 25 was used as a typical cantaloupe material to detect content, hydrogen peroxide (HO) and SOD enzyme activity in the pericarp and pulp, respectively, and transcriptomics and qRT-RCR were used for cantaloupe SOD family gene expression. The results showed that the rate of and HO content were inhibited and SOD activity was higher in the treatment group compared with the control (CK) group in the pericarp and pulp; SOD was more active in the pericarp and was higher than that in the pulp.

Effects of ozone concentration on the postharvest quality and microbial diversity of Muscat Hamburg grapes.

Grapevines are widely planted around the world. Although grapes have high nutritional value, they are highly perishable. To explore the effect of ozone concentration on the postharvest quality of Muscat Hamburg grapes, the ethylene production rate, respiratory intensity, soluble solids, titratable acidity, firmness, threshing rate, total yeast and mold counts, and the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, polyphenol oxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase were determined, and the fungal metagenome on the grape surface was analyzed.

Bi-Normal Filtering for Mesh Denoising.

Most mesh denoising techniques utilize only either the facet normal field or the vertex normal field of a mesh surface. The two normal fields, though contain some redundant geometry information of the same model, can provide additional information that the other field lacks. Thus, considering only one normal field is likely to overlook some geometric features.
