Effect of Boiling and Roasting Treatments on the Nutrients, Lipid Quality, and Flavor of Peanuts.

Roasted peanuts (OPs) are more often used in daily life than boiled peanuts (BPs); the main reason may be related to the pleasurable flavor in OPs. This study comparatively investigated the effects of boiling and roasting on nutritional components contents, taste, and aroma to reveal the advantages of roasting in terms of the nutrition and flavor of peanuts. Results showed that boiling increased fat content to 54.

Mass Spectrometry Analysis on the Breakage of Allergens in High-Molecular-Mass Polymer of Roasted Peanuts.

Peanut allergy is a prevalent and concerning food allergy. Roasting can introduce structural changes to peanut allergens, affecting their allergenicity, but the structure on the primary structure is unclear. Here, the breakage sites were identified by mass spectrometry and software tools, and structural changes were simulated by molecular dynamics and displayed by PyMOL software.

Biophilic virtual reality on children's anxiety and pain during circumcision: A randomized controlled study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the biophilic virtual reality (BVR) method on children's pain and anxiety undergoing circumcision.

Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled study used a parallel trial design guided by the CONSORT checklist. A total of 106 children were included in the analysis.

Sleep Monitoring of Children With Nocturnal Enuresis: A Narrative Review.

The purpose of this article is to provide a succinct summary of the sleep monitoring efforts that have been used in nocturnal enuresis (NE) and an overview of the knowledge that has accrued. This is not intended to be a comprehensive review, but rather is intended to highlight how polysomnography (PSG), a common sleep detection tool, has contributed to our understanding of NE, as arousal disorder is considered to be one of the important mechanisms. The authors have organized this report by analysis and display of different ingredients of PSG, starting with comparing the electroencephalogram (EEG) of controls and the enuretic children and then moving to evaluation of respiratory patterns of NE and comorbid disease obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

A Randomized Controlled Study of Caudal Dexmedetomidine for the Prevention of Postoperative Agitation in Children Undergoing Urethroplasty.

Postoperative agitation is a common complication in children undergoing general anesthesia. This study aimed to investigate the effect of caudal dexmedetomidine for the prevention of postoperative agitation in children undergoing urethroplasty. Eighty children were prospectively recruited to this study and randomized to two groups (40 cases in each group), specifically, a dexmedetomidine group (group D) who received 0.

[Urine metabolomics analysis based on ultra performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry combined with osmolality calibration sample concentration variability].

Urine is an important source of biomolecular information for metabolomic studies. However, the acquisition of high-quality metabolomic datasets or reliable biomarkers from urine is difficult owing to the large variations in the concentrations of endogenous metabolites in the biofluid, which are caused by diverse factors such as water consumption, drugs, and diseases. Thus, normalization or calibration is essential in urine metabolomics for eliminating such deviations.

Choosing the appropriate ShangRing size for paediatric circumcision using the no-flip technique.

Aim: To determine the correct ShangRing size for paediatric circumcision using the no-flip technique.

Methods: A cohort of 104 boys (from 6 to 14 years) underwent ShangRing circumcision at Ningbo First Hospital, China. The patients were randomly divided into three groups according to the different methods used for choosing the ring size.

A cytokine-delivering polymer is effective in reducing tumor burden in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma murine model.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a novel polymer platform delivering cisplatin and cytokines in the treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Study Design: In vivo study.

Setting: Academic research laboratory.
