Fungal Community Succession and Volatile Compound Changes during Fermentation of Laobaigan from Chinese Hengshui Region.

To investigate the core fungal community succession and its effects of volatile compound production during different stages (D-1, D-2, D-3, E-4, E-5, and E-6) of Hengshui Laobaigan , high-throughput sequencing (HTS) was carried out, accompanied by the identification and quantification of the volatile flavor compounds using headspace solid-phase coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). HTS results demonstrated that the fungal community of stage D-1 was similar to that of E-4 after adding , while the richness and diversity of the fungal community were most prominent at stage E-6. Moreover, the addition of at the beginning of fermentation resulted in a significant increase in the relative abundances of the fungal community at the genus level, setting the stage for the production of volatile compounds.

Optimization of an Artificial Solid Electrolyte Interphase Formed on an Aluminum Anode and Its Application in Rechargeable Aqueous Aluminum Batteries.

Electrochemical cells that incorporate aluminum (Al) as the active material have become increasingly popular due to the advantages of high energy density, cost-effectiveness, and superior safety features. Despite the progress made by research groups in developing rechargeable Al//MO (M = Mn, V, etc.) cells using an aqueous Al trifluoromethanesulfonate-based electrolyte, the reactions occurring at the Al anode are still not fully understood.

Idebenone-loaded wound dressings promote diabetic wound healing through downregulation of Il1b, Nfkb genes and upregulation of Fgf2 gene.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are overproduced in diabetic wounds and retard the healing response. Considering the antioxidative function of idebenone, its exogenous administration may quench excessive ROS and promote diabetic wound healing. In the current study, idebenone was loaded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) /calcium alginate scaffolds at three different concentrations of 1 w/w%, 2 w/w%, and 3 w/w%.
