Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-adipogenesis activities and proximate composition of larvae reared on food waste enriched with different wastes.

The use of insects as a food source is not a new idea, but it has gained momentum in recent years due to the need for sustainable protein source in livestock feedstuffs and for more environmentally friendly organic waste treatment. In the case of black soldier fly larvae, , research has focused on their ability to convert organic waste into usable nutrients and their potential as a protein source for animal and human consumption. In this study, black soldier fly larvae were reared on raw food waste (FW) mixed with garlic peel waste (G) and hydronic growth media waste (H) and the proximate composition and bioactive potential of black soldier fly larvae extract (SFL) were compared.

Radiographic Comparison of Open and Minimally Invasive Distal Chevron Metatarsal Osteotomy in Patients With Hallux Valgus.

This study aimed to compare radiographic outcomes of open and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in patients with hallux valgus. We reviewed data of patients with hallux valgus who underwent open or minimally invasive distal chevron osteotomy at our institution. Radiographic assessment was completed preoperatively, immediate postoperatively, and one year postoperatively using eight weight bearing parameters .

Reliability and validity of a mobile application for femoral anteversion measurement in adult patients.

Background: Femoral torsion is primarily measured by computed tomography (CT), which has cost and radiation exposure concerns. Recently, femoral anteversion measurement by a simple radiograph-based mobile application was developed for patients with cerebral palsy. This study aimed to validate the use of a mobile application that can reconstruct a three-dimensional model of the femur from conventional radiographs for adults.

Microbial Diversity Analysis of Nakai from Ulleung-Do of South Korea Using Next-Generation Sequencing.

Bupleurum latissimum Nakai is a rare endemic species native to Ulleung-do in South Korea. This study aimed to report on the rhizosphere soil microbial diversity of B. latissimum.

Production of D-Allose From D-Allulose Using Commercial Immobilized Glucose Isomerase.

Rare sugars are regarded as functional biological materials due to their potential applications as low-calorie sweeteners, antioxidants, nucleoside analogs, and immunosuppressants. D-Allose is a rare sugar that has attracted substantial attention in recent years, owing to its pharmaceutical activities, but it is still not widely available. To address this limitation, we continuously produced D-allose from D-allulose using a packed bed reactor with commercial glucose isomerase (Sweetzyme IT).

Cloning and characterization of α-L-rhamnosidase from Chloroflexus aurantiacus and its application in the production of isoquercitrin from rutin.

Objective: This study was conducted to characterize recombinant α-L-rhamnosidase from Chloroflexus aurantiacus and apply the enzyme in the production of isoquercitrin from rutin.

Results: The α-L-rhamnosidase from C. aurantiacus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and purified as a soluble enzyme.

Ectopic Expression of , Calcineurin B-Like 1 Gene From , Rescues the Salt and Osmotic Stress Hypersensitivity in Arabidopsis Mutant.

Extensive studies with suggested that calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins constitute a unique family of calcium sensors in plants, which mediate a variety of abiotic stress responses. However, little is known about their function in most plants that do not have available genome sequences. In this study, we have developed a pair of universal primers that make it possible to isolate CBL1-like genes from various plants without sequence information.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Dode.

This study sequenced the entire mitochondrial genome of Dode. It was 779,361 bp in length, containing 33 protein-coding genes, 3 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes and 1 pseudogene, and its GC content was 44.8%.

Calcineurin B-like Protein CBL10 Directly Interacts with TOC34 (Translocon of the Outer Membrane of the Chloroplasts) and Decreases Its GTPase Activity in Arabidopsis.

As calcium sensor relays in plants, calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins provide an important contribution to decoding Ca signatures elicited by a variety of abiotic stresses. Currently, it is well known that CBLs perceive and transmit the Ca signals mainly to a group of serine/threonine protein kinases called CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs). In this study, we report that the CBL10 member of this family has a novel interaction partner besides the CIPK proteins.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dode.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dode was determined in this study. The cpDNA was 155,853 bp in length, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 27,571 bp each separated by a large and small single copy (LSC and SSC) regions of 84,127 bp and 16,584 bp, respectively. The cpDNA contained 130 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes and 37 transfer RNA genes.

Calcineurin B-like 3 calcium sensor associates with and inhibits 5'-methylthioadenosine nucleosidase 2 in Arabidopsis.

Calcineurin B-like (CBL) proteins constitute a unique family of calcium sensor relays in plants. It is well known that CBLs detect the calcium signals elicited by a variety of abiotic stresses and relay the information to a group of serine/threonine protein kinases called CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs). In this study, we found that a few CBL members can also target another group of enzymes 5'-methylthioadenosine nucleosidases (MTANs), which are encoded by two genes in Arabidopsis, AtMTAN1 and AtMTAN2.
