A novel chitinolytic enzyme-producing bacterium Chitiniphilus sp. LZ32 was isolated. Non-pretreated Housefly larvae powder (HLP) was used as an adsorbent to purify chitinolytic enzymes. The optimal conditions for hydrolysis of HLP by purifying enzymes chitinolytic enzymes were investigated. HPLC and MALDI-TOF analyses indicated that HLP enzymatic hydrolyzates mainly contain N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and hetero-chitooligosaccharides (COS) composed of GlcN and GlcNAc. The hetero-chitooligosaccharides (COS) had a degree of polymerization (DP) in the 2-6 range. The maximum production of COS was 158.3μg/mL after 72h of incubation. Maximum pentamer (51.2μg/mL) and hexamer concentrations (36.1μg/mL) were achieved at hydrolysis times of 72 and 84h, respectively. Antioxidant activities of purified COS products (PCOS) from different hydrolysis times were investigated in vitro. PCOS produced by hydrolysis times of 72h (PCOS-72) exhibited the strongest hydroxyl-scavenging ability and reducing power. These results indicate the potential of Chitiniphilus sp. LZ32 for COS production using HLP.

Research into antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is currently at an inflection point due to recent clinical impact. ADC biotransformation analysis is key for understanding the structural integrity of ADCs in vivo and is a critical aspect of drug development, especially at the lead selection stage. Data analysis of biotansformed products is hindered by the manual and time-consuming analyte identification process oftentimes taking days to weeks.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Zexie decoction on vestibular and auditory function in guinea pigs with endolymphatic hydrolysis induced by desmopressin. Methods: Sixty guinea pigs were randomly and evenly divided into four groups, each group has 15 guinea pigs: normal control group, DDAVP group, DDAVP modeling combined with Zexie Decoction group, and DDAVP combined with Double Zexie group. At 7 and 14 days, bone-conducted cervical vestibular evoked myogenic potential tests, auditory brainstem responses, and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions were conducted on each group of guinea pigs to evaluate their vestibular and auditory function quantitatively.

This study used Xinjiang native "medicinal and food dual-use" resource mulberries as raw material, and optimized the extraction process of mulberries anthocyanins by enzyme-ultrasound-assistance through the establishment of a response surface model (RSM) and deep neural network model (DNN). A single-factor-Box-Behnken experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of pectinase dosage, enzymatic hydrolysis time, ultrasonic temperature, ultrasonic time, solvent concentration, and solid-liquid ratio on the extraction rates of total anthocyanins (TAC), and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside (C3R) two anthocyanin compounds, and the comprehensive evaluation index was used as a reference to obtain the optimal extraction conditions. The results show that both the RSM and DNN models could predict accurately, but by comparing the coefficient of determination (R) of the two models, it was found that the DNN model (R = 0.

Both dietary and endogenous reactive carbonyl species, such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO), react with proteins to generate advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which contribute to metabolic diseases. However, accurately determining individual AGEs in biological samples remains challenging due to the lack of standardized methods. In this study, we optimized and detailed procedures for AGE digestion using enzyme cocktails and separation and detection via high-resolution LC-MS/MS.
