Ethanol intoxication leads to oxidative stress, which may be additionally enhanced by aging. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of green tea as a source of water-soluble antioxidants on the ability to prevent oxidative stress in aged rats sub-chronically intoxicated with ethanol. Two-, 12-, and 24-mo-old male Wistar rats were divided into 4 experimental groups: (1) control, (2) green tea, (3) ethanol, and (4) ethanol and green tea. Ethanol intoxication produced age-dependent decrease in the activity of serum superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and reductase and in levels of glutathione (GSH), vitamins C, E, and A, and beta-carotene. Changes in the serum antioxidative ability were accompanied by enhanced oxidative modification of lipid (increase in lipid hydroperoxides, malondiadehyde, and 4-hydroxynonenal levels) and protein (rise in carbonyl group levels). Green tea partially protected against changes in antioxidant enzymatic as well as nonenzymatic parameters produced by ethanol and enhanced by aging. Administration of green tea significantly protects cellular components such as lipids and proteins against oxidative modification. Results indicate that green tea effectively protects blood serum against oxidative stress produced by ethanol as well as aging.

Department of Food Science and Technology, Lahijan Branch, Islamic Azad University, Lahijan, Iran.
This research aimed to produce a multifunctional bread by adding hydrothermally processed rice bran (RB), green tea extract (GTE), and rosemary extract (RE). In the first step, hydrothermal processing was used to reduce the amount of phytic acid in RB, which decreased by 55 %. Based on the acrylamide amount, texture profile analysis, and color parameters, 3 % RB was selected as the optimum concentration in the bread formulation.

This paper addresses the low level of intelligence in tea processing equipment in Enshi Prefecture by designing an intelligent withering control system based on the STMicroelectronics 32-bit Microcontroller (STM32). This control system can achieve real-time monitoring of the withering environment and automate the control of heating and ventilation dehumidification modules. By integrating IoT technology, relevant users can view the tea production process via mobile devices, enabling intelligent and remote production operations.

Objective To evaluate the stain resistance and color stability of four Clear aligners (CA) brands against various beverages at different intervals, along with assessing the elaboration of cleaning agents. Methods In a strictly controlled lab environment, 48 CAs from four different companies (Invisalign, EON, Clear Cap, and K clear) were immersed for seven days in six different beverages based on their pH (Pepsi, orange juice, milk, coffee, and black tea), as well as a control solution (distilled water). The VITA Easy-Shade compact colorimeter used the Commission International lightening L*a*b* color scheme to evaluate the color change of the aligners at four intervals.

Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are crucial for the growth and development of hair follicles (HF). (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the primary catechin identified in green tea, which has antioxidant effects and regulates cell activity. This study demonstrates that EGCG could promote the proliferation of DPCs.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Dendrobium officinale in the treatment of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and to explore its regulating effect on immune function and oral microbiota by comparing immune-related factors and oral microbiota before and after the intervention.
Methods: We conducted a randomized double-blinded controlled trial in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. Sixty patients with nasopharyngeal cancer combined with radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis were randomly divided into a study group and control group, with 30 cases in each group The study group used compound vitamin B12 solution and Dendrobium tea drink, and the control group simply used compound vitamin B12 solution rinse.
