Article Synopsis
- - This study compared how peanut protein components (conarachin and arachin) respond to ultrasonication and pH-shifting treatments in terms of structure and emulsifying ability.
- - Results indicated pH-shifting was more effective at breaking down peanut proteins and changing their structures than ultrasonication alone, with conarachin showing a tendency to clump together while arachin tended to break apart.
- - Both treatments increased the proteins' hydrophobicity, enhancing arachin's emulsifying capability and overall stability of arachin-based emulsions, while also improving conarachin emulsion stability in salty conditions.
Peanut protein isolate (PPI) nanoparticles were prepared by self-assembly under the combined action of ultrasound (US) and protein concentration. The effects of ultrasound intensity (150-500 W) and protein concentration (1-12 %, w/v) on the structural and functional properties of PPI nanoparticles were investigated. Low-intensity US significantly increased the particle size of PPI, but high-intensity US decreased it.

- Surface layer proteins (SLPs) are found in many archaea and bacteria and can reassemble on lipid surfaces; this study focused on SLPs from Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356 and their interaction with positively charged liposomes.* -
- The research involved measuring zeta potentials and particle sizes to analyze SLP adsorption on liposomes, and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the complete coating of liposomes with SLPs.* -
- Results indicated that SLPs significantly enhanced liposome stability under heat and reduced aggregation in serum; SLP-coated liposomes also released less carboxyfluorescein during storage, suggesting potential for more stable nanocarrier systems.*
Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of tibiotalocalcaneal fusion using cannulated screw and humeral proximal locking plate inverted fixation through a lateral transfibular approach.
Methods: From June 2015 to December 2018, 15 patients underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal fusion operation using cannulated screw and inverted proximal humerus locking plate through a transfibular approach. There were 10 males and 5 females with the age ranging from 45 to 72 (58.
Purpose: We aim to analyze the feasibility of external application of Xiao-Shuan-Santo prevent peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) -related thrombosis.
Methods: A total of 218 patients with PICC catheterization were randomly divided into a control group (n = 103) and a treatment group (n = 115). Patients in the treatment group received additional external application of Xiao-Shuan-San.
The antithrombotic activities of peanut protein hydrolysates were investigated using a microplates assay. When peanut proteins were hydrolyzed to a limited extent by various enzymes, their thrombin inhibitory abilities were significantly enhanced. However, the resultant hydrolysates showed significantly different activities even at the same degrees of hydrolysis.
