Normothermic Machine Perfusion Improves Outcomes for Donation After Cardiac Death Allografts With Extended Donor Warm Ischemia Time.

Introduction: Donation after circulatory death (DCD) allografts are underutilized in liver transplantation (LT) due to increased risk of complications. These risks stem from ischemic injury sustained during the total donor warm ischemia time (tDWIT), historically limited to 30 min. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) can mitigate these risks and facilitate LT of DCD grafts with extended tDWIT.

A novel self-ratiometric fluorescent sensor of sodium alginate hydrogel bead doping with coumarin derivative with extremely acidic pH visual monitoring of fruit juice freshness.

The slight acidic pH changes during food storage and transportation are often difficult to detect in a timely and accurate manner. There is also an urgent need to establish a portable, accurate, and low interference detection method for real-time monitoring of the quality changes of fresh juice that already has its own color. In this paper, a self-ratiometric fluorescent sensor (DCCA/SA bead) was prepared by combining a modified coumarin and sodium alginate (SA), and was used for the extreme pH monitoring of fluorescent by naked eye colorimetry.

The characterization of fucoidan‑sodium caseinate electrostatic complexes with application for pH-triggered release: Microstructure and digestive behavior.

This study was aimed at enhancing the stability of the medium internal phase emulsion by modulating the electrostatic interaction between fucoidan (FUC) and sodium caseinate (NaCS). Firstly, the macro and microstructure of FUC-NaCS electrostatic complexes with the mass ratio of ranged from 0.01: 2 to 4: 2 were examined at pH 3.

Microbial-type terpene synthases significantly contribute to the terpene profile of glandular trichomes of the fern Dryopteris fragrans (L.).

Ferns, known for their adaptability and widespread presence, form a diverse group of plants. However, the mechanisms underlying terpenoid production, which are often linked to plant adaptation, are not well understood in ferns. Here, we report that Dryopteris fragrans (D.

Toxic effects of combined exposure to carbamazepine and triclosan on adult zebrafish (Danio rerio): Insights into acute mortality, neurotransmitters, biochemical response, and histopathology.

As two representative pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PCPPs), carbamazepine (CBZ) and triclosan (TCS) are frequently detected in aquatic ecosystems worldwide, but their toxicological interactions remain unclear. This work evaluated the combined toxicity of CBZ and TCS to zebrafish (Danio rerio) in terms of acute mortality, biochemical response, and histopathology. The results showed that the 96-h acute toxicity interaction of CBZ and TCS fitted well to the concentration addition (CA) model, suggesting an additive effect.
