Effects of Konjac Glucomannan/ε-Polylysine Hydrochloride/Ferulic Acid Composite Coating on the Freshness Preservation Performance and Flavor of Refrigerated Sea Bass Fillets.

Coating preservation has a remarkable effect on the preservation of aquatic products. This work prepared a composite coating using konjac glucomannan (KGM) as the film-forming matrix and ε-polylysine hydrochloride (ε-PL) and ferulic acid (FA) as the preservative. Three types of treated sea bass (KGM, KGM-ε-PL, and KGM-ε-PL-FA) and untreated sea bass were stored at 4 °C for 20 days to compare freshness changes under different treatment conditions.

Effects of Chronic Exposure to Microcystin-LR on the Gut Microbiota of Male Mice.

Increasing evidence indicates that environmental pollutants can change human gut microbiota. Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR), considered a major hazard to mammals, is one of the important contaminants. However, little is known about the long-term influence of MC-LR on gut microbial communities.

TRIM14 promotes cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis by suppressing PTEN in colorectal cancer.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most frequent and lethal malignancies worldwide. Although great advances have been made in the treatment of CRC, prognosis remains poor. Our previous study indicated that tripartite motif-containing 14 (TRIM14) was upregulated in CRC samples.

The protective role of montelukast against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Several drugs are effective in attenuating intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI); however little is known about the effect of montelukast. Fifty rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups: model group (operation with clamping), sham group (operation without clamping), and study group (operation with clamping and 0.2, 2 and 20 mg/kg montelukast pretreatment).
