Salidroside rescues hypoxic cardiomyocytes by regulating the EGLN1/HIF‑1α pathway.

Myocardial infarction is characterized by oxygen deficiency caused by arterial flow restriction. Salidroside (SAL) protects against myocardial damage via antioxidant production and inhibition of apoptosis. The present study aimed to investigate potential rescue mechanism of SAL on hypoxic cardiomyocytes.

Enhancing cider quality through co-fermentation with acid protease and esterase-producing Metschnikowia species and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Background: To date, cider production has primarily relied on Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Introducing novel non-Saccharomyces yeasts can enhance the diversity of cider properties. Among these, the Metschnikowia genus stands out for its ability to produce hydrolytic enzymes that may impact the sensorial and technological properties of cider.

A modified Carpentier classification in transcatheter edge-to-edge repair for mitral regurgitation.

Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common heart valve disease, and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been recommended as a therapy for severe MR patients by guidelines. The classic Carpentier classification used to guide surgical mitral valve repair but is inadequate for mitral TEER (M-TEER). We herein proposed a new modified Carpentier classification named after "type + segment," which is suitable for M-TEER.

Improving thermal conductivity of Al/SiC composites by post-oxidization of reaction-bonded silicon carbide preforms.

High thermal conductivity aluminium-based silicon carbide (Al/SiC) composites were successfully fabricated through post-oxidization of reaction-bonded silicon carbide preforms (RS preforms), utilizing vacuum pressure infiltration technology. The study investigated the regulation of interfacial reactions in conventional sintering and reaction sintering. Conventional sintering introduced a large amount of SiO, which negatively impacted the thermal conductivity of the Al/SiC composite, but the reaction sintering not.

The effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 3-19 and Pediococcus pentosaceus 18-1 on preventing the accumulation of biogenic amines and promoting the production of volatile organic compounds during sour meat fermentation.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are frequently used in meat fermentation, and mixed stater cultures are reported to perform better than single ones. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 3-19 and Pediococcus pentosaceus 18-1 were chosen from 28 sour-meat-origin strains to examine the effects of single and combined inoculation on sour meat quality. Natural fermentation was used as a control to investigate changes in pH, water activity (a), amino acid nitrogen (AN), texture, microbial diversity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during fermentation.

High internal phase emulsions gel ink for direct-ink-writing 3D printing of liquid metal.

3D printing of liquid metal remains a big challenge due to its low viscosity and large surface tension. In this study, we use Carbopol hydrogel and liquid gallium-indium alloy to prepare a liquid metal high internal phase emulsion gel ink, which can be used for direct-ink-writing 3D printing. The high volume fraction (up to 82.

Molecular mechanism of saturated aldehyde oxidation: A DFT insight into volatiles forming from decanal thermal oxidation.

Decanal is one of the main products of lipid oxidation. It has been shown that decanal can oxidize to form volatiles with shorter carbon chains during heating, but the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, volatile compounds formed in the decanal thermal oxidation were verified using thermal-desorption cryo-trapping combined with GC-MS.

Novel microbial fermentation for the preparation of iron-chelating scallop skirts peptides-its profile, identification, and possible binding mode.

Iron chelating peptides have been widely utilized as iron supplements due to their excellent absorption capacity, However, the high cost and cumbersome manufacturing process of these peptides significantly limit their industrial application. In this study, fermentation was used for the first time to prepare iron chelating peptides. Bacillus altitudinis 3*1-3 was selected as the most suitable strain from 50 strains.

Comparison of downsizing strategy (HANGZHOU Solution) and standard annulus sizing strategy in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement: Rationale and design of a randomized clinical trial.

Background: There has not been a consensus on the prothesis sizing strategy in type 0 bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Modifications to standard annular sizing strategies might be required due to the distinct anatomical characteristics. We have devised a downsizing strategy for TAVR using a self-expanding valve specifically for patients with type 0 bicuspid AS.

Monitoring the yeasts ecology and volatiles profile throughout the spontaneous fermentation of Taggiasca cv. table olives through culture-dependent and independent methods.

Taggiasca table olives are typical of Liguria, a Northwestern Italian region, produced with a spontaneous fermentation carried out by placing the raw drupes directly into brine with a salt concentration of 8-12 % w/v. Such concentrations limit the development of unwanted microbes and favor the growth of yeasts. This process usually lasts up to 8 months.

Mechanism of thermal oxidation into volatile compounds from (E)-4-decenal: A density functional theory study.

Unsaturated aliphatic aldehyde oxidation plays a significant role in the deep oxidation of fatty acids to produce volatile chemicals. Exposing the oxidation process of unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes is crucial to completely comprehend how food flavor forms. In this study, thermal desorption cryo-trapping in conjunction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to examine the volatile profile of (E)-4-decenal during heating, and 32 volatile compounds in all were detected and identified.

Production optimization of food functional factor ergothioneine in wild-type red yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa DL-X01.

Background: Ergothioneine (EGT) is a high-value food functional factor that cannot be synthesized by humans and other vertebrates, and the low yield limits its application.

Results: In this study, the optimal fermentation temperature, fermentation time, initial pH, inoculum age, and inoculation ratio on EGT biosynthesis of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa DL-X01 were optimized. In addition, the effects of three key precursor substances - histidine, methionine, and cysteine - on fungal EGT synthesis were verified.

Inoculation of Yarrowia lipolytica promotes the growth of lactic acid bacteria, Debaryomyces udenii and the formation of ethyl esters in sour meat.

Yarrowia lipolytica N12 and A13 with high lipase activity obtained by mutagenesis were inoculated into sour meat, and their effects on physicochemical properties, microbial community succession, free amino acids, and volatile compounds of sour meat were investigated. Inoculation fermentation increased the contents of free amino acids observably, rapidly reduced pH, promoted the accumulation of total acids, decreased 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values. In addition, the addition of Y.
