Identification of key risk areas and failure modes using the FMEA method for the prevention and control of major infectious diseases in a stomatology department.

Purpose: To perform risk assessment and analysis of potential infection during stomatology workflow in a hospital in the context of a major infectious disease outbreak, and to determine the key failure modes and measures to prevent and control infection.

Method: Following the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method based on the stomatology workflow, the opinions of 30 domain-experts in related fields were collected through questionnaires to determine all potential failure modes in the severity (S), occurrence (O), and detectability (D) dimensions. The group score was then integrated through the median method and the risk priority number (RPN) was obtained.

Fates of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities of red pitaya pulp upon in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

Health benefit effects of bioactive compounds depend on their bioavailabilities, which could vary according to factors including food matrix and digestion environment. To understand the "bioaccessible" health benefit of red pitay pulp, the INFOGEST static in vitro simulation of gastrointestinal (GI) digestion model and targeted metabolomics method were applied to unravel the fates of bioactive compounds in the whole food of red pitaya pulp during GI digestion. The antioxidant activity as one of the health benefit indices was also assessed to compare the changes in bioactive properties of red pitaya pulp.

Exploring the synergistic effect of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 1-24-LJ and lipase on improving Quality, Flavor, and safety of Suanzharou.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 1-24-LJ and lipase on physicochemical indexes, nutrition, and flavour substances during Suanzharou's fermentation. Individually, the lipase supplementation expedited the synthesis of organic acids and free fatty acids, thus rapidly acidifying the fermentation environment. Compared to C (8.

Research note: The critical role of the interaction between Eimeria tenella invasion protein RON2 and host receptor annexin A2 in mediating parasite invasion.

Avian coccidiosis, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria, is a globally prevalent and highly pathogenic disease that poses a serious threat to the poultry industry, resulting in significant economic losses. However, the mechanism by which Eimeria species invade host cells remains unclear. Previous studies have identified rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2) from Eimeria tenella as a critical factor in host cell invasion, but a comprehensive understanding of the role of EtRON2 in host cell invasion and its relationship with E.

Porous Nanoframe Based Plasmonic Structure With High-Density Hotspots for the Quantitative Detection of Gaseous Benzaldehyde.

Owing to its high sensitivity, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has immense potential for the identification of lung cancer from the variation in volatile biomarkers in the exhaled gas. However, two prevailing factors limit the application of SERS: 1) the adsorption of target molecules into SERS hotspots and 2) the detection specificity in multiple interference environments. To improve the density of the SERS hotspots, 3D Au@Ag-Au particles are prepared in a porous nanoframes (PPFs) based plasmonic structure, which facilitated a richer local electromagnetic field distribution among the Au nanocubic (NC) cores, Au-Ag porous nanoframes, and Au nanoparticles, thereby promoting the adsorption probability of gaseous aldehydes into the hotspots.
