An Exploratory Study on the Development of a Pure Dairy Product Emotion Scale (PDPES): A Study of Milk Consumers in China.

Emotions evoked by food are an important factor that strongly influences the predictive power of consumer acceptance and consumption behavior when choosing food. The emotion questionnaire is an efficient measurement tool that describes the emotions evoked by different foods on the market. However, there is rarely a list of emotion terms for specific foods, such as the pure dairy products on the market.

The burden of injury among elderly individuals in China from 1990 to 2019: An analysis of data from the global burden of disease study 2019.

Background: With the rapid ageing of the population, injuries are increasingly threatening the health of elderly individuals. A comprehensive evaluation of the injury burden is important for selecting and formulating strategies for injury prevention.

Objective: To evaluate the temporal trends of injury burden among elderly Chinese individuals aged 60 years and older.

Endogenous ERMAP Affects T-Cell Function in EAE Mice.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease (AID) mediated by myelin-reactive CD4 T cells. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a widely used animal model of human MS. Erythrocyte membrane-associated protein (ERMAP) is a novel erythrocyte-specific adhesion/receptor molecule associated with erythrocyte adhesion.

The Roles and Functions of Ergothioneine in Metabolic Diseases.

The global prevalence of metabolic diseases is on the increase, and it has become a significant threat to the health and lives of individuals. Ergothioneine (EGT) is a natural betaine amino acid found in various foods, particularly mushrooms. EGT cannot be synthesized by mammals; it is absorbed into small intestinal epithelial cells by a cationic protein, the novel organic cation transporter 1 (OCTN1), and transported to certain organs.

A colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode chiral sensor based on CuS-L-histidine for optical resolution of aspartic acid isomers.

As the chiral source, L-histidine (L-His) is used for the decoration of copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs), which is further utilized to fabricate a colorimetric and photothermal dual-mode chiral sensor for the optical resolution of aspartic acid (Asp) isomers. Since the optical activity of L-His is consistent with L-Asp, the CuS-L-His shows higher affinity for L-Asp than D-Asp, and thus more 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is captured by CuS-L-His/L-Asp through electrostatic attractions compared with CuS-L-His/D-Asp. Owing to the superior peroxidase-like activity of CuS NPs, the captured TMB can be catalyzed to blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of HO, and thus the optical resolution of the Asp isomers can be realized by the colorimetric mode.
