Synergistic cryoprotective effects of mannan oligosaccharides and curdlan on the grass carp surimi.

The cryoprotective effects of mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) and curdlan (CU) on the quality of grass carp surimi after freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) were assessed using the response surface methodology. The optimal contents of MOS (6.79 %, /w) and CU (0.

Cryoprotective effects and mechanisms of soybean oligosaccharides on the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) surimi during frozen storage.

Background: Conventional cryoprotectant mixtures (sucrose and sorbitol) impart excessive sweetness and calories to surimi. Therefore, there is a need to explore alternative cryoprotectants with low sweetness and low-calorie content. The cryoprotective effects and possible mechanisms of soybean oligosaccharides (SBOS) on the frozen stability of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) surimi were investigated during 120 days of frozen storage in a comparison with commercial cryoprotectants (4% sucrose and 4% sorbitol, w/w).

The transcription factor ATF2 promotes gastric cancer progression by activating the METTL3/cyclin D1 pathway.

Globally, gastric cancer (GC) is a major cause of cancer death. This study is aimed at investigating the biological functions of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) and the underlying mechanism in GC. In the present work, GEPIA, UALCAN, Human Protein Atlas and StarBase databases were adopted to analyze ATF2 expression characteristics in GC tissues and normal gastric tissues, and its relationships with tumor grade and patients' survival time.

The photodynamic/photothermal synergistic therapeutic effect of BODIPY-I-35 liposomes with urea.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has a successful track record in cancer. . Urea is a naturally occurring metabolite in the human body.

Sensory and chemical characterization of Chinese bog bilberry wines using Check-all-that-apply method and GC-Quadrupole-MS and GC-Orbitrap-MS analyses.

The sensory and chemical profiles of commercial bog bilberry (BB) wines were investigated using a multi-analytical approach. Sensory test included scaling and check-all-that-apply (CATA) method with questions on liking of BB wine. The sensory data was correlated with their volatile compound profiles determined using gas chromatography coupled with quadrupole and orbitrap mass spectrometry (GC-Quadrupole/Orbitrap-MS).

Unique PDT and PTT synergistic effect between TPE and BODIPY.

A novel intermolecular system D-π⋯π'-A was constructed with tetraphenylethylene (TPE) and borondipyrromethene (BODIPY), which had a synergistic effect on PDT and PTT (1 + 1 > 2). The PTT effect of TPD-BOA(D/A) was 1.7 times the sum of BOA + TPD; the effect of PDTAD was 1.

Polyethylenimine-grafted polycarbonates as biodegradable polycations for gene delivery.

Polycations as one of non-viral vectors have gained increasing attentions. In this paper, polyethylenimine(PEI)-grafted polycarbonates (PMAC-g-PEIx) were synthesized as a kind of biodegradable polycations for gene delivery. Backbone polymer, poly(5-methyl-5-allyloxycarbonyl-trimethylene carbonate) (PMAC), was synthesized in bulk catalyzed by immobilized porcine pancreas lipase (IPPL).
