The process of solid-state fermentation of soybean meal: antimicrobial activity, fermentation heat generation and nitrogen solubility index.

Background: Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has excellent protease production ability and holds great prospects for application in the solid-state fermentation of soybean meal (SBM).

Results: Among eight strains of bacteria, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum CICC 10265, which exhibited higher protease production, was selected as the fermentation strain.

ScatterHough: Automatic Lane Detection from Noisy LiDAR Data.

Lane detection plays an essential role in autonomous driving. Using LiDAR data instead of RGB images makes lane detection a simple straight line, and curve fitting problem works for realtime applications even under poor weather or lighting conditions. Handling scatter distributed noisy data is a crucial step to reduce lane detection error from LiDAR data.

A Two-Stage Enzymolysis Method and Its Application in Exerting Antioxidant Activity of Walnut Protein.

Traditional enzymolysis method for producing bioactive peptides does not consider the utilization of digestive enzymes in the human gastrointestinal tract, leading to the possibility of excessive hydrolysis and higher production cost. Therefore, a two-stage enzymolysis method was established in this study based on limited enzymolysis and gastrointestinal digestion, and applied it to the research of walnut protein (WP) in exerting antioxidant activity. Results showed that WP could be well-digested by pepsin and pancreatin.

lncRNA BZRAP1-AS1 alleviates rheumatoid arthritis by regulating miR-1286/COL5A2 axis.

Background: Dysregulation of BZRAP1-AS1 was associated with immune statuses of cancer or Alzheimer's disease patients, yet little is known about its role in rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: RT-qPCR and western blot were applied to assess the expression of indicated expression. CCK-8 and BrdU proliferation assays were used to measure the proliferation of RA-HFLS.

miR-223 Inhibits the Polarization and Recruitment of Macrophages via NLRP3/IL-1 Pathway to Meliorate Neuropathic Pain.

Background: miRNA is an essential factor in neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanism of miRNA in neuropathic pain remains unclear.

Objective: To explore the potential role of miR-223 in neuropathic pain in a mice model of chronic sciatic nerve injury.

The necessity of enzymatically hydrolyzing walnut protein to exert antihypertensive activity based on simulated digestion and verification.

Since not all proteins are suitable for preparing bioactive peptides by enzymatic degradation, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the necessity of walnut protein (WP) enzymolysis to exert its potential antihypertensive activity. Five proteases were used to hydrolyze WP to produce WP hydrolysate (WPH) enzymatically. The angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of WP and WPH before and after simulated digestion in vitro was measured, and the antihypertensive effect was evaluated in vivo.

[Effect of acupuncture combined with suspension exercise therapy on chronic low back pain].

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with suspension exercise therapy on the clinical symptoms, lumbar proprioception and trunk isokinetic muscle strength in patients with chronic low back pain.

Methods: A total of 100 patients with chronic low back pain were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 50 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were treated with suspension exercise therapy, and the training exercise was selected according to the patient's exercise ability, the suspension exercise therapy was given once a day, three times a week, for totally 4 weeks.
