Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the ultrasonic extraction of polysaccharides from leaves, using a model based on Fick's second law to analyze the extraction kinetics, optimizing the process with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:40.
  • Different drying methods for leaf extracts resulted in varying levels of antioxidant activity and enzyme inhibition, with vacuum freeze drying showing the strongest antioxidant effects and microwave drying being more effective against specific enzymes than other methods.
  • While the purified polysaccharides had lower overall bioactivity compared to leaf extracts, they still showed significant scavenging abilities and inhibition against enzymes, and were found to consist mainly of mannose, glucose, galactose, and arabinose in a specific ratio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Background: The physical and mental health of college students is often mentioned, but there is limited research on a direct relationship between the mental health status of college students and their physical fitness level. This study mainly proves the relationship between Chinese college students' mental health and physical fitness indicators.

Method: This study collected SCL-90 Scale test results from 5262 students (4012 boys and 1250 girls) through a questionnaire survey and conducted a Sport Quality Test on these students.

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.

  • Junctional adhesion molecule-like protein (JAML) is involved in immune cell and endothelial/epithelial cell processes, particularly in regulating inflammation, but its role in tumors is not yet clear.
  • In a study of 63 gastric cancer patients, JAML was found to be more expressed in cancer tissues compared to peritumoral tissues, and high JAML levels correlated with worse cancer characteristics.
  • Silencing JAML decreased gastric cancer cell migration and growth, while its overexpression had the opposite effect, indicating JAML's potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for gastric cancer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
