Whole utilization of okara has important economic value, but there are two technical barriers: coarse mouthfeel caused by insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) and undesirable "beany" off-odors. UV-A irradiation and/or microbial fermentation were used to modify okara. The results indicated that single and combined treatments increased the soluble dietary fiber (SDF) content.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed the genetic diversity and population structure of 'white' type Northern snakehead populations using mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences, comparing them with 'bicolor' type populations.
  • A total of 28 mutation loci and 30 haplotypes were identified, with 'white' type populations showing lower haplotype and nucleotide diversity compared to 'bicolor' type populations.
  • The research highlighted significant genetic differentiation in 'bicolor' populations, while 'white' type populations had close genetic distances, suggesting a need to protect their genetic diversity to prevent inbreeding during breeding efforts.

Background: Interleukin-28B (IL28B) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs8099917 has been described to be associated with response to treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) in patients with chronic hepatitis C from the North America, Europe, Asia countries like Japan and Taiwan. Whether this holds true for Chinese patients remains unknown.

Objectives: We aimed to study the effects of IL28B rs8099917 on antiviral therapy responses in Chinese patients with hepatitis C.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between IL-28B rs8099917 polymorphism and the outcome of HBV infection.

Methods: Genotype of rs8099917 (T > G) in IL-28B locus was determined by TaqMan SNP genotyping from 486 individuals which including 199 chronic HBV carriers (including 100 HBV-induced liver cirrhosis and 99 HBV-related HCC). 143 people with self-limited infection and 144 healthy people served as controls.
