SSA-ZP on Scalp Seborrheic Dermatitis: Regulating Sebum Levels and Scalp Barrier.

Background: The occurrence of scalp seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is closely related to the production of sebum and scalp barrier function. Supramolecular salicylic acid has the keratolytic and anti-inflammatory properties, and zinc pyrithione is an antifungal drug delivered as a microparticle to skin epithelia.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of 2% supramolecular salicylic acid (SSA) combined with 0.

Surface-immobilized cross-linked cationic polyelectrolyte enables CO reduction with metal cation-free acidic electrolyte.

Electrochemical CO reduction in acidic electrolytes is a promising strategy to achieve high utilization efficiency of CO. Although alkali cations in acidic electrolytes play a vital role in suppressing hydrogen evolution and promoting CO reduction, they also cause precipitation of bicarbonate on the gas diffusion electrode (GDE), flooding of electrolyte through the GDE, and drift of the electrolyte pH. In this work, we realize the electroreduction of CO in a metal cation-free acidic electrolyte by covering the catalyst with cross-linked poly-diallyldimethylammonium chloride.

Quality improvement of tilapia fillets by light salting during repeated freezing-thawing: Contribution of structural rearrangement and molecular interactions.

The present study evaluated the effects and underlying mechanisms of light salting on quality properties of tilapia fillets during repeated freezing-thawing. Light salting was found to improve water-holding capacity and decelerated texture softening in tilapia fillets during repeated freezing-thawing. Instead of tissue distortion and heterogeneous aggregates in control groups, light salting promoted myofibril disassembly and formation of an ordered protein network with the solubilized myofibrillar proteins.

Lazy random walks for superpixel segmentation.

We present a novel image superpixel segmentation approach using the proposed lazy random walk (LRW) algorithm in this paper. Our method begins with initializing the seed positions and runs the LRW algorithm on the input image to obtain the probabilities of each pixel. Then, the boundaries of initial superpixels are obtained according to the probabilities and the commute time.
