A combination of gas chromatography (GC) and chemometrics was evaluated for its ability to differentiate between apple juice samples on the basis of apple variety and applied heat treatment. The heat treatment involved exposure of 15 mL juice samples for 30 s in a 900 W domestic microwave oven. The chromatographic results were subjected to two chemometric procedures: (1) partial least squares (PLS) regression and (2) linear discriminant analysis (LDA) applied to principal component (PC) scores. The percent correct classification of samples were obtained from PLS and LDA in terms of separation on the basis of apple variety and applied heat treatment. PLS gave the highest level of correct classification of the apple juice samples according to both variety and heat treatment, 92.5% correct classification in each case. When LDA was performed on the PC scores obtained from GC analysis, 87.5% and 80% of samples were correctly classified according to apple variety used and applied heat treatment, respectively.

Background: Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (NS) is the most prevalent glomerular disease in children. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is synthesized in response to diverse stress factors like infections and oxidative stress. We aimed to evaluate serum and urine levels of HSP70 in children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) and to assess changes in HSP70 levels with prednisolone treatment.

Tumor-associated human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs), particularly isoforms hCA IX and hCA XII, are overexpressed in hypoxic regions of solid tumors and play a crucial role in regulating pH homeostasis, promoting cancer cell survival and enhancing invasiveness. These enzymes have emerged as promising therapeutic targets in cancer treatment, including photothermal therapy (PTT). PTT is a minimally invasive technique that uses light-absorbing agents to convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat, effectively inducing localized hyperthermia and promoting cancer cell apoptosis.

This study investigated the impacts of hot water treatment (HWT) at 50°C or 25°C for 5 min and high-temperature ethylene (HTE) exposure at varying temperatures (20°C, 30°C, or 35°C) and durations (24, 48, or 72 h) on the postharvest quality and antioxidant properties of mature green tomatoes (MG). Color changes, physicochemical characteristics, antioxidant compounds, and overall antioxidant ability were assessed. HWT increased β-carotene levels and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) while preserving color metrics, despite later HTE exposure.

Obesity poses a global health challenge, demanding a deeper understanding of adipose tissue (AT) and its mitochondria. This study describes the role of the mitochondrial protein Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ/DnaJC15) in orchestrating brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis. Here we show how MCJ expression decreases during obesity, as evident in human and mouse adipose tissue samples.

Blood stasis-heat syndrome is one of the common syndromes of ischemic stroke, which is manifested as syndromes of blood stasis and heat during the pathological progression of patients with ischemic stroke, but there is a lack of systematic research on its biological essence. Thromboinflammation reaction is a newly proposed pathological mechanism highly associated with thrombosis and inflammatory reaction, and it refers to the fact that under the mediation of von Willebrand factor(vWF) and the kallikrein-kinin system, thrombosis and inflammatory reaction interact with each other. Activation of T cells and neutrophils further aggravates thrombosis and worsens the pathological progression of ischemic stroke.
