Effect of black highland barley polysaccharides and low frequency-static magnetic field on casein-based coacervates: Formation, characterization, and probiotic encapsulation capacity.

To evaluate the combination effects of highland barley polysaccharides (HBP) and low-frequency static magnetic field (LF-SMF) treatment on the structure and properties of acid-induced casein (CS) coacervates, this study conducted a comprehensive investigation at various stages- before, during, and after coacervation-for the first time. Compared with native CS, adding HBP caused CS to denature owing to hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, and LF-SMF treatment further promoted these changes. During the acidification (pH 7.

Improvement of lactose digestion by highland barley (Hordeum vulgare var. coeleste L.) β-glucan: Activation of lactase under simulated gastric/small intestinal digestive conditions.

β-Galactosidase (lactase) plays a crucial role as a dietary supplement in managing lactose intolerance. Here, the catalytic activity of lactase was successfully activated for the first time through complexation with water-extractable β-glucans from highland barley (WHBG). Under simulated gastric/small intestinal digestive conditions, WHBG and lactase spontaneously formed complexes, resulting in a remarkable increase in catalytic activity up to 172.

Maximizing the performance of badminton athletes through core strength training: Unlocking their full potential using machine learning (ML) modeling.

Core strength training plays an essential role in maximizing performance for badminton athletes. The core muscles in the abdominal, back, and hip regions provide stability, enable efficient power transfer between the upper and lower body, and allow for rapid changes in direction - all crucial components for success in badminton. However, optimizing core training requires an understanding of its impact on sport-specific skills.

Interventional effect of core stability training on pain and muscle function of youth with chronic non-specific lower back pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Nowadays, due to lifestyle changes, the number of young people suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP) is gradually increasing. The recent guidelines for the treatment of low back pain emphasize that exercise therapy is the preferred treatment method for CNLBP. This study take ordinary college male students with CNLBP as objective of the study, focused into how core stability training affected the pain and muscle function of the CNLBP of youth.

Effect of core strength training on the badminton player's performance: A systematic review & meta-analysis.

Background: Core strength training (CST) has been shown to improve performance in several sports disciplines. CST is recognized as one of the crucial elements that enhance athletic performance, particularly impacting badminton skills. Despite its popularity as a strength training method among badminton players, there is a lack of comprehensive studies examining the effectiveness of CST on the performance of these athletes.

P-doped CoS/NiS heterostructures embedded in N-doped carbon nanoboxes: Synergistical electronic structure regulation for overall water splitting.

Water splitting using transition metal sulfides as electrocatalysts has gained considerable attention in the field of renewable energy. However, their electrocatalytic activity is often hindered by unfavorable free energies of adsorbed hydrogen and oxygen-containing intermediates. Herein, phosphorus (P)-doped CoS/NiS heterostructures embedded in N-doped carbon nanoboxes were rationally synthesized via a pyrolysis-sulfidation-phosphorization strategy.

NSAID Treatment Before and on the Early Onset of Acute Kidney Injury Had an Opposite Effect on the Outcome of Patients With AKI.

NSAIDs are one of the most frequently used medications and a risk factor for AKI. However, the optimal time of NSAIDs in patients with AKI is unknown. A secondary analysis of a multicenter, randomized clinical trial including adult inpatients with acute kidney injury was performed.

Sintilimab, a PD-1 Inhibitor, Completely Reversed Rarely Refractory Hypofibrinogenemia in a Gastric Cancer Patient: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

While cancer is often related to hyperfibrinogenemia, it is rarely related to hypofibrinogenemia. Specifically, gastric cancer concomitant with unprovoked hypofibrinogenemia and the corresponding treatment approach have been rarely reported. We presented a case of gastric cancer in a 78-year-old Chinese woman in whom sudden, unprovoked refractory hypofibrinogenemia had been found during the whole brain radiotherapy despite stable clinical condition.

Early postoperative tumor marker responses provide a robust prognostic indicator for N3 stage gastric cancer.

The clinical significance of tumor markers after radical gastrectomy has not been well characterized. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of early postoperative tumor marker normalization in N3 stage gastric cancer (GC) patients. A total of 259 N3 stage GC patients with preoperatively elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, >5 ng/mL) or carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9, >37 U/mL) levels underwent radical gastrectomy were analyzed retrospectively.

Catalytic degradation of dye molecules and in situ SERS monitoring by peroxidase-like Au/CuS composite.

In this paper, Au/CuS composites were fabricated by a two-step method based on a facile solvothermal approach combined with the in situ reduction. It was demonstrated that the Au/CuS composite not only exhibited excellent peroxidase-like catalytic activity in the oxidation of the typical peroxidases (o-phenylenediamine and diaminobenzidine), but also showed promising SERS performance with remarkable sensitivity and high reproducibility. Based on these properties, the bi-functional Au/CuS composite was employed both as a catalyst for degrading a pollutant (Rhodamine 6G) and a SERS substrate for real-time monitoring of the degradation process quantitatively.

Phase retrieval approach based on the normalized difference maps induced by three interferograms with unknown phase shifts.

From three interferograms with unknown phase shifts, an innovative phase retrieval approach based on the normalized difference maps is proposed. Using the subtraction operation between interferograms, two difference maps without background can be achieved. To eliminate the amplitude inequality of difference maps, normalization process is employed so that two normalized difference maps are obtained.

Coprocytobiology: on the nature of cellular elements from stools in the pathophysiology of colonic disease.

The gastrointestinal epithelium is known to undergo constant and rapid renewal resulting in millions of cells being shed into the fecal stream every day. The conventional wisdom was that these cells disintegrate upon exfoliation and will not survive the transit through the intestinal tract. In 1990, we (P.
