Initial experience and favorable outcomes on cannulation strategies and surgical platform construction in fully video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery.

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery offers numerous advantages that patients and surgeons desire. This surgical platform encompasses cannulation strategies for cardiopulmonary bypass, optimal surgical access points, and high-quality visualization techniques. Traditional peripheral cannulation methods, though convenient, possess inherent limitations and carry the potential for complications such as retrograde dissection, stroke, or neurologic sequelae.

The effective of bacterial community dynamics driven by different starter cultures on the flavor development of Chinese fermented sausages.

This study aimed to understand the community successions driven by different starters and their effects on the flavor development of Chinese fermented sausages. The results showed that the bacterial genus (67.6%) and pH (32.

Improving the aroma profile of inoculated fermented sausages by constructing a synthetic core microbial community.

Commercial starter cultures play a critical role in the industrial production of fermented sausages. However, commercial starter cultures could not reproduce the metabolic actions of diverse microorganisms and the aroma profile of the traditional spontaneously fermented sausages. Identifying the core microbial community in spontaneously fermented sausages will facilitate the construction of a synthetic microbial community for reproducing metabolic actions and flavor compounds in spontaneously fermented sausages.

Optimization of Jinhua Ham Classification Method Based on Volatile Flavor Substances and Determination of Key Odor Biomarkers.

Jinhua ham is a traditional cured meat food in China. For a long time, its grade has mainly been evaluated by the human nose through the three-sticks method, which is highly subjective and is not conducive to establishing evaluation standards through odor markers. In this paper, we analyzed the well-graded Grade I-III hams provided by Jinzi Ham Co.

Mechanism of action of resolvin D1 in inhibiting the progression of aortic dissection in mice.

Background: To investigate the protective effect of resolvin D1 (RvD1) on aortic dissection (AD) in mice and explore the related mechanisms.

Methods: Mice were randomly divided into a blank group, model group, and RvD1 group. The RvD1 and model groups were administered 0.

Synthesis, optical properties and cytotoxicity of meso-heteroatom substituted IR-786 analogs.

Eight near-infrared heptamethine cyanines have been successfully synthesized based on IR 786 with oxygen, sulfur and amine moieties at the central position. These dyes show diverse optical properties resulting from different substitutions. Particularly, the heptamethine dyes with amine moieties have larger Stokes shifts and higher quantum yields of fluorescence.
