Sensomics-assisted analysis unravels the formation of the Fungus Aroma of Fu Brick Tea.

Fu Brick Tea (FBT) is characterized by Fungus Aroma (FA), which determines the quality of FBT products. However, the aroma constituents and their interactive mechanism for FA remain unclear. In this study, the FBT sample with the optimal FA characteristics was selected from 29 FBTs.

Quality Evaluation of Peony Petals Based on the Chromatographic Fingerprints and Simultaneous Determination of Sixteen Bioactive Constituents Using UPLC-DAD-MS/MS.

In this study, a validated quality evaluation method with peony flower fingerprint chromatogram combined with simultaneous determination of sixteen bioactive constituents was established using UPLC-DAD-MS/MS. The results demonstrated that the method was stable, reliable, and accurate. The UPLC chemical fingerprints of 12 different varieties of peonies were established and comprehensively evaluated by similarity evaluation (SE), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and quantification analysis.

Development of a thiostrepton-free system for stable production of PLD in Streptomyces lividans SBT5.

Background: Phospholipase D (PLD) is highly valuable in the food and medicine industries, where it is used to convert low-cost phosphatidylcholine into high-value phospholipids (PLs). Despite being overexpressed in Streptomyces, PLD production requires expensive thiostrepton feeding during fermentation, limiting its industrialization. To address this issue, we propose a new thiostrepton-free system.

Study on Remote Field Eddy Current Testing Technology for Crack-like Defects in Long Truss Structure of Aircraft.

Detection of hidden defects of aircraft long truss structures (aluminum alloy) is a challenging problem. The shape of the aircraft truss structure is complex, and the crack defects are buried in a large depth. Without the restriction of skin effect, remote field eddy current (RFEC) has great advantages in detecting buried depth defects.

Comparative study of microRNA profiling in one Chinese Family with PSEN1 G378E mutation.

MicroRNAs are not widely studied in familial Alzheimer's disease cases, whether the microRNA profilings in familial Alzheimer's disease patients are similar to the sporadic AD patients is not known. This study aims to investigate the differential expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (EO-FAD) in a Chinese family. We performed the gene mutation analysis in a family clinically diagnosed of EO-FAD.
