Evolution and modeling of texture changes and drying kinetics of bamboo shoots under high-humidity air-impingement blanching.

This study investigated the effect of hot water blanching (HWB), high-humidity air-impingement blanching (HHAIB), different HHAIB blanching times (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min), and different HHAIB blanching temperatures (80, 85, 90, and 95°C) on texture quality, lignin content, weight loss, color, microstructure, and drying kinetics of bamboo shoots. After HWB treatment, the lignin content of bamboo shoots was apparently lower than that of HHAIB and the samples obtained the highest weight loss value of 6.13%.

Enhanced mass transfer of pulsed vacuum pressure pickling and changes in quality of sour bamboo shoots.

Sour bamboo shoot is a traditional Chinese fermented vegetable food. The traditional pickling method of sour bamboo shoots has the disadvantages of being time-consuming, inhomogeneous, and difficult to control. Pulsed vacuum pressure pickling (PVPP) technology uses pulsed vacuum pressure to enhance the pickling efficiency significantly.

[Immunopathology and immunomodulatory roles of interleukin-12 in periodontal disease].

Purpose: To investigate the immunopathology and immunomodulatory roles of interleukin-12 (IL-12) in periodontal disease.

Methods: Ninety-eight patients with chronic periodontitis from January 2016 to January 2019 were enrolled and divided into mild group (30 cases), moderate group (35 cases) and severe group (33 cases) according to the severity of periodontitis; meanwhile, 30 healthy subjects who underwent periodontal examination in our hospital were selected as the control group. Clinical periodontal indicators including probing depth(PD), attachment loss(AL), plaque index(PLI), bleeding index(BI), Th cell expression (Th1, Th2, Th17) in peripheral blood, IL-12 levels in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) and serum were measured.

Traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis: A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis of overview.

Background: Since December 2019, there have been many cases of viral pneumonia of unknown causes in Wuhan City, Hubei Province. During the period of novel coronavirus, according to the observation of limited autopsy and biopsy pathological results, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis appeared in some pathological changes of lung. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive interstitial pneumonia with unknown etiology and pathological changes limited to the lung.

SIRT7 activates p53 by enhancing PCAF-mediated MDM2 degradation to arrest the cell cycle.

Sirtuin 7 (SIRT7), an NAD-dependent deacetylase, plays vital roles in energy sensing, but the underlying mechanisms of action remain less clear. Here, we report that SIRT7 is required for p53-dependent cell-cycle arrest during glucose deprivation. We show that SIRT7 directly interacts with p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) and the affinity for this interaction increases during glucose deprivation.

Evidence for the Involvement of Auxin, Ethylene and ROS Signaling During Primary Root Inhibition of Arabidopsis by the Allelochemical Benzoic Acid.

Allelopathy is mediated by plant-derived secondary metabolites (allelochemicals) which are released by donor plants and affect the growth and development of receptor plants. The plant root is the first organ which senses soil allelochemicals this results in the production of a shorter primary root. However, the mechanisms underlying this process remain elusive.

[Clinical Significance of Peripheral blood EB Virus Detection in NK/T Cell Lymphoma Patients].

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of peripheral blood EB virus detection in NK/T cell lymphoma patients.

Methods: The positive rate of EB virus and EBV-DNA in 85 cases of NK/T cell lymphoma was assayed; the correlation of positive rate of EB virus with clinical staging, short-term and long-term prognosis was analyzed.

Results: The positive rate of EB virus in NK/T cell lymphoma was high (80.

[Clinical Efficacy of Radiotherapy Combined with Chemotherapy for Primary Mediastinal Large B-cell Lymphoma].

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma(PMLBCL).

Methods: A total of 34 cases of PMLBCL were treated by radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy(radio-chemotherapy group), 28 cases of PMLBCL were treated by chemotherapy alone (single chemotherapy group as control). The clinical efficacy, side effects, long-term survival of the two group patients were compared.

[Clinical efficacy of dexamethasone, methotrexate combined with cyclophosphamide for treatment of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma].

Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of dexamethasone, methotrexate combined with cyclophosphamide for treatment of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL).

Methods: Twenty-one patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma were selected as control group, which were received CHOP; twenty-nine patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma were selected as treatment group, which were received Hyper-CVAD. Clinical efficacy were observed after treatment.

[Analysis of bortezomib treatment efficacy and adverse reactions for patients with follicular lymphoma].

Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of bortezomib in the treatment of follicular lymphoma patients.

Methods: According to treatment methods, the 56 follicular lymphoma patients were divided into 2 groups: CHOP group (26 cases) and bortezomib group (30 cases). The patients in CHOP group received the CHOP chemotherapy regimens (cyclophosphamide+ epirubicin+vincristine+prednisolone), the patients in bortezomib group received bortezomib based on CHOP.

Genotypic distribution of Candida albicans in dental biofilm of Chinese children associated with severe early childhood caries.

Aim: Candida albicans causes a wide range of infections in the oral mucosa, especially candidiasis. A strong association has been found between C. albicans and dental caries.

[Evaluation of chemomechanical and traditional mechanical caries removal in indirect pulp capping of symmetric primary molars].

Objective: To evaluate the difference between chemomechanical and traditional mechanical caries removal in indirect pulp capping of the symmetric primary molars.

Methods: A total of 192 children with deep caries in the two symmetric primary molars were studied. The two symmetric primary molars were divided into two groups for treatment with chemomechanical method with Carisolv(TM) system or traditional mechanical method.

[Distribution of Bifidobacterium in oral cavities of children and the relations with caries].

Objective: To explore a selected-media of Bifidobacterium from oral cavity, to detect the distribution of Bifidobacterium in different sites of children and primarily investigate the relationship between oral Bifidobacterium and early childhood caries.

Methods: 70 children aged from 3 to 5-year-old were selected, 30 children were caries-free and 40 were severe early childhood caries (S-ECC). Saliva was collected and plaque samples from the 30 healthy subjects were pooled.
