Exploring how papaya juice improves meat tenderness and digestive characteristics in Wenchang chickens.

Wenchang chicken meat, used as the primary ingredient, was combined with papaya juice in different proportions for pickling and stewing. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of papain in papaya juice on the tenderness, structure and digestive characteristics of chicken meat. Compared with that in the control group, the tenderness of Wenchang chicken meat decreased and the protein solubility increased with the increase in papaya juice concentration.

Pathoimmunological analyses of fatal E11 infection in premature infants.

E11 causes acute fulminant hepatitis in newborns. We investigated the pathological changes of different tissues from premature male twins who died due to E11 infection. The E11 expression level was higher in the liver than in other tissues.

Comparative flavor precursors and volatile compounds of Wenchang chickens fed with copra meal based on GC-O-MS.

In the Wenchang chicken (WC) feeding process, copra meal is often added to improve chicken quality. To determine the effect of feeding with copra meal on the flavor formation of WCs, the experimental subjects were fed with 4.5 % and 7.

L-Selenocysteine induced HepG-2 cells apoptosis through reactive oxygen species-mediated signaling pathway.

Background: Currently, Liver cancer is the fifth most common tumor and the second most important reason for cancer-related death in the world. However, there are still many limitations of the clinical treatment of liver cancer, and new treatment options are clearly needed. Fortunately, studies have shown that L-Selenocysteine has a certain effect on cancer.

Positive adnexal or uterine serosal involvement in stage IIIC endometrial cancer is an adverse factor for recurrence.

Objectives: Clinical and pathological significance of stage IIIC endometrial cancer is unclear. Our study was designed to determine the risk of recurrence among patients with stage IIIC endometrial cancer according to different pathological findings.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with FIGO IIIC endometrial carcinoma (n = 48) treated in our institution between 1996 and 2005.
