J Nutr Sci Vitaminol (Tokyo)
January 2023
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intensive nutrition support on patients with tongue cancer and floor of mouth cancer after surgery at K Hospital, Tan Trieu campus. Study the clinical intervention with a control group. We conducted the intensive nutrition intervention for our patients by giving counseling materials, sample menu and nutritional supplements, while the control group had only advice about dietary regimens.

However, such mutant populations have only been developed for a few temperate maize varieties, mainly B73 and W22, yet no tropical maize inbred lines have been mutagenized and made available to the public to date. We developed a novel Ethyl Methanesulfonate (EMS) induced mutation resource in maize comprising 2050 independent M2 mutant families in the elite tropical maize inbred ML10.

Alkaline phytases are known to dephosphorylate phytate complexed with calcium ions in contrast to acid phytases that act only on phytic acid. A recombinant alkaline phytase from Bacillus sp.

- Phytase breaks down phytate in grains to release bioavailable inorganic phosphate, but traditional assays for measuring this activity are time-consuming and hazardous.
- The article introduces a new kinetic assay method that uses IP(6)-lysozyme complexes, which simplifies the process and can be adapted for high-throughput testing.
- This method effectively measures phytase activity by monitoring changes in turbidity, while also investigating how different conditions like temperature and salt concentrations affect the assay results.
