Interactions between puerarin/daidzein and micellar casein.

Puerarin (PUE) and daidzein (DAI) are polyphenols with extensive biological activities. In the present study, the interactions between PUE/DAI and micellar casein (MC) were investigated, and the physicochemical properties of their complexes were analyzed. The results of fluorescence spectrum analysis and molecular docking revealed that the main interactions between DAI and MC were hydrophobic forces, while that between PUE and MC was hydrogen bonding.

Interaction between caffeic acid/caffeic acid phenethyl ester and micellar casein.

Caffeic acid (CA) and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) are bioactive molecules with poor solubility. We investigated the interaction between CA/CAPE and micellar casein (MC), and the physico-chemical and antioxidant properties of the complexes. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis showed that both CA and CAPE formed complexes with MC via hydrophobic interactions.

[Clinical characteristics of acute pulmonary embolism at different altitudes in plateau areas].

To analyze the clinical characteristics of pulmonary embolism patients from different altitudes in plateau areas. A retrospective cross-sectional study was used to analyze the patients with acute pulmonary embolism diagnosed definitely by pulmonary angiography or pulmonary artery CT angiography admitted to Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital from August 2014 to December 2018. The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the altitude of long-term residence before onset, i.

The DCDC2 deletion is not a risk factor for dyslexia.

Dyslexia is a specific impairment in learning to read and has strong heritability. An intronic deletion within the DCDC2 gene, with ~8% frequency in European populations, is increasingly used as a marker for dyslexia in neuroimaging and behavioral studies. At a mechanistic level, this deletion has been proposed to influence sensory processing capacity, and in particular sensitivity to visual coherent motion.

Caries prevention in Chinese children with sodium fluoride dentifrice delivered through a kindergarten-based oral health program in China.

Caries in China appears to be a significant problem, especially among preschool children. The effect of caries prevention in the primary teeth of preschool children through the use of fluoridated dentifrices and prevention programs has not been widely addressed. The purpose of this study was to examine the caries preventive effects of an 1100 ppm sodium fluoride dentifrice used in the context of a kindergarten-based oral health program compared to a matched placebo dentifrice in the absence of a kindergarten-based oral health program.
