Effects of sugar beet pectin on the pasting, rheological, thermal, and microstructural properties of wheat starch.

The effects of addition of sugar beet pectin (SBP) on the pasting, rheological, thermal, and microstructural properties of wheat starch (WS) were investigated. Results revealed that SBP addition significantly increased the peak viscosity, trough viscosity, breakdown value, final viscosity, and setback value of WS, whereas decreased the pasting temperature. SBP raised the swelling power (from 13.

Effects of the degree of substitution of octenyl succinic anhydride on the physicochemical characteristics of adlay starch.

Impact of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) esterification on the structural, thermal, pasting, and emulsifying characteristics of adlay starch was investigated. The degree of substitution (DS) increased significantly from 0.008 to 0.

Effect of Moxibustion Instrument Combined with Intermediate Frequency Electrostatic Therapy on Pain and Joint Function in Elderly Patients with Cold-Dampness Knee Arthritis.

Objective: To explore the effect of a moxibustion instrument combined with intermediate frequency electrostatic therapy on pain and joint function in elderly patients with cold-dampness arthritis (KOA).

Method: 200 patients with cold-dampness KOA treated in our hospital from May 2019 to September 2021 were selected. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the observation group ( = 100) and control group ( = 100).

Effect of Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation Combined with Modified VTD Regimen on Elderly Patients with Multiple Myeloma and Its Influence on miRNA Cytokines.

Objective: To explore the effect of autologous stem cell transplantation combined with modified VTD regimen on elderly patients with multiple myeloma and its influence on miRNA cytokines.

Methods: The data of 42 elderly patients with multiple myeloma who were treated in our hospital from May 2010 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into the combined group (autologous stem cell transplantation combined with improved VTD scheme, = 25) and the control group (improved VTD scheme, = 17) according to different treatment schemes, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups was compared. The levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+, and Treg were measured in the two groups.
