Acid soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin soluble collagen (PSC) were extracted from scale of spotted golden goatfish (Parupeneus heptacanthus) with the yields of 0.46% and 1.20% (based on dry weight basis), respectively. Both ASC and PSC were characterised as type I collagen, containing α1 and α2 chains. β and γ components were also found in both collagens. Based on FTIR spectra, the limited digestion by pepsin did not disrupt the triple helical structure of collagen. ASC and PSC contained glycine (336-340 residues/1000 residues) as the major amino acid and had imino acids of 186-189 residues/1000 residues. Maximal transition temperatures (Tmax) were 41.58 and 41.01°C for ASC and PSC, respectively. From zeta potential analysis, net charge of zero was found at pH 4.96 and 5.39 for ASC and PSC, respectively. Both collagens exhibited high solubility in acidic pH (2-4) and were soluble in the presence of NaCl at concentration up to 20 and 30g/l for ASC and PSC, respectively.

A 16-year-old boy was diagnosed from multiple sclerosis (MS) after suffering from paresthesia in upper limbs and VI cranial nerve paresis. Corticosteroids and fingolimod were started. After 13 months a worsening of liver biochemical tests (LBT) was noticed: ALP 787 U/L, GGT 737 U/L, AST 195, ALT 321, Bi 0.

Marine collagen is gaining more attraction than terrestrial collagen because it is free of zoonotic disease and religious constrain. In this study, we aimed to investigate and compare the physicochemical properties and functional characteristics of acid-soluble collagen (ASC-MF) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC-MF) extracted from scales of Megalonibea fusca. ASC-MF and PSC-MF were evaluated in terms of yield, collagen type, amino acid composition, thermal stability, microstructure, cytotoxicity, and other physicochemical parameters.

Natural single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) such as proteins have inspired research into the formation and application of synthetic SCNPs. Although the latter can mimic general aspects of the self-assembly behavior of their biological counterparts, these systems remain relatively understudied. In this respect, a systematic series of amphiphilic statistical copolymers (ASC) of different molecular weights, with a hydrophilic comonomer (methacrylic acid) and varying hydrophobic comonomer to encompass methacrylates of different hydrophobicity, are synthesized.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the pattern of spheroidal degeneration of cornea (SDC) and its association with other eye diseases at the anterior segment clinic (ASC) in Menelik II Tertiary Referral Hospital.
Methods: A hospital-based prospective descriptive study was conducted at ASC, in Menelik II Tertiary Referral Hospital, from May 2021 to September 2022. All enrolled patients meeting the inclusion criteria were selected and assessed with a structured questionnaire.

Article Synopsis
- Autoimmune liver disease (AILD) includes autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis (ASC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and this study investigated the characteristics of AILD that starts in childhood over time.
- A review of pediatric cases from 1992 to 2023 showed that the onset of these diseases occurs at progressively older ages, with specific lab tests like gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and ALP/AST ratios being useful for diagnosing sclerosing cholangitis.
- After an average follow-up of nearly six years, a notable number of patients (33%) experienced serious liver complications, underscoring the long-term challenges
