Aim: This paper develops the previous studies on the transfer processes and biochemical reaction kinetics involved in the lipids biodegradation.
Material And Methods: The experiments were carried out in 10 1(8 1 working volume) laboratory bioreactor with computer-controlled and recorded Parameters. The basket was placed centered around the stirrer and was filed with Bacillus sp. cells immobilized in alginate. The optimum impellers combination was found to be of two Rushton turbines, the superior one placed outside the basket and the other inside the basket at its inferior extremity.
Results: In the investigated case, the influences of the substrate internal diffusion on physical and biochemical processes have been quantified by means of the Biot number, Thiele modulus and reduction factor lambda. Compared to the system with free bacterial cells, biochemical processes rate is reduced inside the biocatalyst particle for about 150 - 200 times, this effect being more important than in the case of the bioreactor with mobile bed of immobilized yeast cells.
Conclusions: The utilisation of immobilized biocatalysts offers many advantages, but allows the unfolding of the internal diffusion of substrate or product, with negative effect on the overall biochemical process evolution.

Psychosocial moderators of the association between pain intensity and physical function in people with systemic sclerosis.

Background: Pain is a prevalent symptom of systemic sclerosis. While previous studies have demonstrated a correlation between higher pain intensity and lower physical function in individuals with systemic sclerosis, the potentially moderating effect of psychosocial factors on the association has yet to be explored.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from a fatigue self-management trial for adults with systemic sclerosis.

The mechanically-activated ion channel PIEZO1 is critical to numerous physiological processes, and is activated by diverse mechanical cues. The channel is gated by membrane tension and has been found to be mobile in the plasma membrane. We employed single particle tracking (SPT) of endogenous, tdTomato-tagged PIEZO1 using Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy in live cells.

Multiple receptor analysis-based DNA molecular computation has been developed to mitigate the off-target effect caused by nonspecific expression of cell membrane receptors. However, it is quite difficult to involve nanobodies into molecular computation with programmed recognition order because of the "always-on" response mode and the inconvenient molecular programming. Here we propose a spatial segregation-based molecular computing strategy with a shielded internal computing layer termed DNA nano-phage (DNP) to program nanobody into DNA molecular computation and build a series of kinetic models to elucidate the mechanism of microenvironment-confinement.

Purpose: Sex hormones affect development and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). This study aimed to compare the sex hormone receptor expression between control and GC, and to evaluate its correlation with patient characteristics.
Materials And Methods: 110 patients (74 with GC, 36 controls) underwent immunohistochemistry (IHC) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for estrogen receptors (ERs) α and β and androgen receptor (AR).

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted healthcare workers (HCWs) worldwide, necessitating an understanding of its effects on their health and functional capacity. This study utilized the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and pulmonary function test (PFT) to evaluate post-infection recovery of HCWs, and analyzed the results in relation to comorbidities, symptoms, and healthcare admission.
Methods: HCWs who previously tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 were recruited, and the 6MWT and PFT were conducted.
