Fabrication and characterization of non-diary whipped creams: Influence of oleogel.

Non-dairy whipped creams (NDWC) are a typical food emulsion system and are gaining popularity among consumers. Oleogels as reasonable alternatives to trans and saturated fats in foods show great potential application in NDWC. Effects of different proportions of oleogel (30 %-70 %) as base oil on the crystallization behavior, appearance, interface and rheological properties of NDWC were evaluated.

Quantitative Evaluation of Improvement of Tear Trough With a Non-Cross-Linked Sodium Hyaluronic Compound: A Three-Dimensional and MRI Analysis.

Background: Tear trough deformities are indicative of aging, progressively manifesting as pronounced infraorbital hollows. Although hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are favored for their safety and efficacy, quantifiable evidence of their effect of action still remains insufficient.

Aims: To investigate the efficacy of non-cross-linked HA compound in tear trough enhancement.

ZmEREB25 transcription factor mediates transactivation of core starch synthetic genes in maize endosperm via interaction with ZmARF27.

Starch, as the primary storage material in maize endosperm, is essential in determining yield and quality. Although the starch biosynthetic pathway in maize has been well-documented, the transcriptional network underlying endosperm starch synthesis remains elusive. Through a comprehensive co-expression analysis, we screened an endosperm-preferential AP2/ERF transcription factor ZmEREB25, which exhibited a strong correlation with the expression pattern of starch biosynthetic genes in maize endosperm.

Preliminary surgical outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transrectal specimen extraction: a propensity score matching study of 120 cases (with video).

Background: Compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has many advantages. Laparoscopic right colectomy with transvaginal specimen extraction has been reported, but the safety and feasibility of transrectal specimen extraction in male patients with ascending colon cancer remain to be verified. This study aimed to preliminarily evaluate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with transrectal specimen extraction.

Pathological and perioperative outcomes of extracorporeal versus intracorporeal anastomosis in laparoscopic transverse colon cancer resection: retrospective multicentre study.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the pathological and perioperative outcomes of extracorporeal versus intracorporeal anastomosis after laparoscopic transverse colon cancer resection.

Methods: In this retrospective study, patients from seven institutions in China who underwent laparoscopic resection of transverse colon cancer between 2019 and 2021 were selected and included. Either extended right hemicolectomy or transverse colectomy/extended left hemicolectomy was performed.

Modified serial techniques "ASTRO" facilitated laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for ultralow-lying rectal cancer in obese male patients: how we do it (with video).

Background: Laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LaTME) is a technically challenging for ultralow-lying rectal cancer in obese male patients. Herein, we introduced modified serial techniques "ASTRO" to facilitate LaTME, and the short-term outcomes were presented.

Methods: A prospective study (NCT05067413) was conducted between December 2020 and January 2022.

ICSDA: a multi-modal deep learning model to predict breast cancer recurrence and metastasis risk by integrating pathological, clinical and gene expression data.

Breast cancer patients often have recurrence and metastasis after surgery. Predicting the risk of recurrence and metastasis for a breast cancer patient is essential for the development of precision treatment. In this study, we proposed a novel multi-modal deep learning prediction model by integrating hematoxylin & eosin (H&E)-stained histopathological images, clinical information and gene expression data.

Surgical outcomes and sexual function after laparoscopic colon cancer surgery with transvaginal versus conventional specimen extraction: A retrospective propensity score matched cohort study.

Background: Natural orifice specimen extraction has been shown to reduce postoperative pain and wound complications, and provide better cosmetic outcome. However, whether transvaginal specimen extraction affects sexual function remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the short-term outcomes, sexual function, cosmetic outcomes and prognosis after colon cancer surgery with transvaginal specimen extraction.

Comparison of the short-term outcomes between intracorporeal isoperistaltic and antiperistaltic totally stapled side-to-side anastomosis for right colectomy: A retrospective study on 214 consecutive patients.

Background: Totally laparoscopic right colectomy has been demonstrated to be safe and feasible. Two manners of anastomosis, namely, antiperistaltic and isoperistaltic stapled side-to-side anastomosis, have been described before. However, research concerning the influence of different peristaltic orientations on anastomosis is rare and, if there is, included relatively small cases without long-term outcomes.

Cell Type-Specific Gene Expression of Alpha 5 Subunit-Containing Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Subtype A Receptors in Human and Mouse Frontal Cortex.

Converging evidence suggests that deficits in somatostatin (SST)-expressing neuron signaling contributes to major depressive disorder. Preclinical studies show that enhancing this signaling, specifically at α5 subunit-containing γ-ami-nobutyric acid subtype A receptors (α5-GABARs), provides a potential means to overcome low SST neuron function. The cortical microcircuit comprises multiple subtypes of inhibitory γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurons and excitatory pyramidal cells (PYCs).

Understanding the Adsorption of PFOA on MIL-101(Cr)-Based Anionic-Exchange Metal-Organic Frameworks: Comparing DFT Calculations with Aqueous Sorption Experiments.

To examine the effects of different functionalization methods on adsorption behavior, anionic-exchange MIL-101(Cr) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were synthesized using preassembled modification (PAM) and postsynthetic modification (PSM) methods. Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) adsorption results indicated that the maximum PFOA adsorption capacity was 1.19 and 1.
