The potential effect of porcine plasma protein hydrolysates (PPPH) on the long-term retrogradation of corn starch (CS) was investigated. The differential scanning calorimetry results showed that PPPH significantly reduced the retrogradation enthalpies (ΔHr) of CS (P<0.05), obviously decreased the crystallization rate constant (k), and enhanced the Avrami exponent (n) (P<0.05). Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance analysis demonstrated that the spin-spin relaxation time (T) remarkably increased with increasing PPPH concentration during storage at 4°C for 28days (P<0.05). The X-ray diffraction results revealed that the relative crystallinity of retrograded CS decreased from 13.04% to 8.73% with the addition of PPPH. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that the addition of PPPH led to a decrease in hydrogen bonds within starch. The results demonstrated that the addition of PPPH apparently played a crucial role in retarding the long-term retrogradation of CS.

Background: Many studies reported the influence of infants' gut microbiota on atopic dermatitis (AD) postnatally, yet the role of maternal gut microbiota and plasma metabolites in infants' AD remains largely unexplored.
Methods: Sixty-three pregnant mother-infants were enrolled and followed after childbirth in Guangzhou, China. Demographic information, maternal stool and plasma samples, and records for infants' AD were collected.

Recently, interest in eco-friendly techniques for producing antibacterial food packaging films has surged. Within this context, plasma polymerization is emerging as a promising approach for applying degradable antibacterial coatings on various plastic films. This research therefore employs an atmospheric pressure aerosol-assisted plasma deposition technique to create polyethylene glycol (PEG)-like coatings embedding zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) of varying sizes on polyethylene (PE) substrates.

Pigeons and certain other avian species produce a milk-like secretion in their crop sacs to nourish offspring, yet the detailed processes involved are not fully elucidated. This study investigated the crop sacs of 225-day-old unpaired non-lactating male pigeons (MN) and males initiating lactation on the first day after incubation (ML). Using RNA sequencing, ribosome profiling, and single-cell transcriptome sequencing (scRNA-seq), we identified a significant up-regulation of genes associated with ribosome assembly and protein synthesis in ML compared to MN.

Heparin is a highly valuable active pharmaceutical ingredient, typically derived from porcine intestinal mucosa. Traditionally, various commercial resins have been used as adsorbents for heparin extraction; however, there has been growing interest in exploring more cost-effective adsorbents in recent years to improve heparin recovery. Zeolites, a typical aluminosilicate known for their high surface area, porosity, and thermal stability, were selected for evaluation in this study.

Biomarkers for ischemic stroke (IS) are yet to fulfill clinical requirements. This study used non-targeted metabolomics to investigate differential metabolites and metabolic pathways in plasma and brain tissue following IS, with the aim of identifying new potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Twelve Tibetan miniature pigs were randomly assigned to a model- or sham-operation group.
