Interfacial Properties and Structure of Emulsions and Foams Co-Stabilized by Span Emulsifiers of Varying Carbon Chain Lengths and Egg Yolk Granules.

Interfacial properties significantly influence emulsifying and foaming stability. We here explore the interfacial behavior of egg yolk granules (EYGs) combined with various Span emulsifiers (Span 20, 40, 60, 80) to assess their solution properties, interface dynamics, and effects on emulsifying and foaming stability. The results unveiled that as the Span concentration increased, particle size decreased from 7028 to 1200 nm, absolute zeta potential increased from 4.

A new technique for the obliterative urethral strictures.

There have been a troublesome problem to treat with obliterative urethral strictures, the challenge is how to reduce wound of surgery and improve therapeutic success rates. In this study, we reported single-hospital institution case-series including 97 patients with obliterative urethral strictures were enrolled with "three lines lie within one imaginary plane (TLLWOIP)" to treat with patients with the obliterative urethral strictures. Perioperative variables and success rates were evaluated.
