Investigating the Effect of High-Voltage Electrostatic Field (HVEF) Treatment on the Physicochemical Characteristics, Bioactive Substances Content, and Shelf Life of Tomatoes.

This study evaluated the ability of a high-voltage electrostatic field (HVEF) treatment to extend the shelf life of tomatoes. Tomatoes were exposed to HVEF treatment for different lengths of time, and the physicochemical properties of tomatoes and bioactive compounds were monitored during 28 days of storage at 4 °C. The results indicated that the quality parameters of tomatoes were better maintained during storage by the HVEF treatment relative to the control treatment, extending their shelf life by 14-28 days.

Effectiveness, safety and indications of acute normovolemic haemodilution in total knee arthroplasty.

Unlabelled: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most cost-effective, and potent method for the treatment of end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Acute normovolemic haemodilution (ANH) can effectively replace the need for allogeneic transfusions due to the high amount of bleeding during TKA. However, more studies are needed to prove the efficacy and safety of ANH and to clarify its indications in the field of knee replacement.

Anatomic characteristics of shoulder based on MRI accurately predict incomplete rotator cuff injuries in patients: relevance for predictive, preventive, and personalized healthcare strategies.

Background And Pppm-related Working Hypothesis: In the diagnosis of incomplete rotator cuff injuries (IRCI), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound examination often have false-positive and false-negative results, while arthroscopy is expensive, invasive, and complex. From the strategy of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM), shoulder anatomical characteristics based on MRI have been demonstrated to accurately predict IRCI and their clinical applicability for personalized prediction of IRCI.

Aims: This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on anatomical features of the shoulder on MRI to identify IRCI for PPPM healthcare strategies.

Identification and Characterization of Peptides from Bovine Collagen Hydrolysates that Promote Myogenic Cell Proliferation.

In this study, bovine collagen hydrolysate was purified via a series of chromatograms, and the peptides with the highest activity for promoting myoblast proliferation were identified by LC-MS-MS. It was demonstrated that the peptide GDAGPGPAGPAGPGPIG (hydroxylation) could promote C2C12 proliferation (+18.5% ± 0.
