Effects of isolation conditions on structural and functional properties of the seed gum from Chinese quince (Chaenomeles sinensis).

Chinese quince seed gum (CQSG) extracted under water-, alkali- and acid- conditions at 25, 50, and 80 °C, were evaluated in terms of yield, monosaccharide composition, molecular distribution, thermal gravimetry, emulsifying stability, rheological properties, and free radical scavenging ability. The results showed that the yield of CQSG increased to 3.9% after water extraction at 80 °C.

The cohort study included treatment group (statin and routine treatment) and control group (routine treatment), each group 50 patients.

Apatinib for treating advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after failed chemotherapy: A case report and literature review.

Rationale: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) originates from the secondary branch of the bile duct and the intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells, and is a rare pathological type of primary liver cancer. Recently, apatinib has been successfully used for a variety of malignancies.

Patient Concerns: A 23-year-old female was noted with intermittent right upper abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and vomiting after eating for more than 1 month.

Physicochemical, Rheological and Sensory Properties of Different Brands of Sesame Pastes.

The chemical characteristics, rheological properties and sensory evaluation of nine different brands of the sesame pastes were investigated. The sesame pastes showed a significant difference for the crude fat, protein, crude fibre, total sugars, total ash, moisture content, and acid values (p < 0.05).

Performance of a Heating Block System Designed for Studying the Heat Resistance of Bacteria in Foods.

Knowledge of bacteria's heat resistance is essential for developing effective thermal treatments. Choosing an appropriate test method is important to accurately determine bacteria's heat resistances. Although being a major factor to influence the thermo-tolerance of bacteria, the heating rate in samples cannot be controlled in water or oil bath methods due to main dependence on sample's thermal properties.
