Preparation of temperature-responsive pickering emulsions for encapsulating compound essential oils and their application in fresh noodle preservation.

In the present study, corn starch was modified to create temperature-responsive particles, which were employed as an emulsifier to formulate Pickering emulsions (PE) for the encapsulation of compound essential oils (CEO). The temperature responsiveness of CEOPE endows PE with the characteristics of faster release rate at lower temperature and more stability at room temperature, aligning with the typical low-temperature storage conditions of fresh noodles. The characteristics of CEOPE with different oil-water ratios were analyzed by morphology, particle size, PDI, zeta-potential, FTIR and rheological measurements.

Maternal-Fetal Listeriosis in China: Clinical and Genomic Characteristics From an ST8 Case.

Background: Listeriosis, a severe foodborne infection caused by , poses significant risks during pregnancy, including maternal-neonatal transmission. This study describes the clinical and genomic characteristics of an sequence type 8 (ST8) strain involved in maternal-neonatal transmission during pregnancy.

Methods: Clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and treatment outcomes of the case were documented in detail.

Role of ubiquitin-specific proteases in programmed cell death of breast cancer cells.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumor and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women worldwide. Great progress has been recently achieved in controlling breast cancer; however, mortality from breast cancer remains a substantial challenge, and new treatment mechanisms are being actively sought. Programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with the progression and treatment of many types of human cancers.

Factors influencing medical disputes among village doctors from seven provinces in China: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Medical disputes, with the progress of economic development and the improvement of people's awareness of rights protection, are becoming increasingly intense. This phenomenon may have a negative impact on doctors and the medical system, especially village doctors who are responsible for guarding the health of rural people. Therefore, it is urgent to explore the factors that affect the medical dispute experience of village doctors.

Association between sarcopenia index and the risk of second hip fracture in older adults.

Background: The sarcopenia index (SI), calculated as the ratio of serum creatinine to cystatin C level, represents skeletal muscle mass and strength. This study aimed to investigate the association between SI and the risk of second hip fractures, considering various demographic and clinical factors to improve second hip fracture risk prediction.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included older adults with low-energy hip fractures who were monitored for at least two years to track the incidence of subsequent hip fractures.
