A 9-year-old healthy girl visited the general practitioner with a recurring purple discoloration of the skin around the mouth without any other complaints. She was diagnosed with factitious purpura due to a vacuum that was caused by creating a negative pressure through placement of a plastic cup around the mouth.

Exploration of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Production Potential of Photosynthetic Microbes: A Sustainable Source of Bioplastic.
Recent Pat Biotechnol
December 2024
Department of Zoology, University of Education, Bank Road Campus, Lahore, Pakistan.
Introduction: The present study examined Polyhydroxy butyrate production (PHB) potential of different photosynthetic microbes such as Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus obliquus and Rhodobacter capsulatus-PK under different nutrient conditions. Biodegradable bioplastics, such as Poly-β-hydroxybutyrates (PHB), derived from these microbes provide a sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based nondegradable plastics.
Background: As the demand for clean and sustainable alternatives rises, bio-plastic is gaining attention as a viable substitute to conventional plastics.
Purple Tea (Camellia sinensis var. assamica) Leaves and Obesity Management: A Review of 1,2-Di-Galloyl-4,6-Hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-Glucose's (GHG) Potential Health Benefits, and Future Prospects.

Article Synopsis
- Purple tea contains bioactive compounds like caffeine, catechins, and a unique compound called GHG, which shows promise in helping manage obesity by potentially reducing BMI and body weight.
- A systematic literature review was conducted, yielding 246 articles, with 173 retained, to examine the effects of GHG on obesity through mechanisms such as inhibiting fat absorption and preventing fat formation.
- Current findings suggest that consuming purple tea extracts rich in GHG can lead to notable reductions in BMI and body weight, along with additional metabolic benefits, though further research is necessary to confirm optimal dosage and long-term effects.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based pH-responsive color indicators were developed using red cabbage anthocyanin (Anth) copigmented with gelatin and gallic acid (GA). The indicator prepared with gelatin and GA (GA/gelatin/Anth/PVA) was highly resistant to light exposure. GA/gelatin/Anth/PVA exhibited distinct color changes in pH 2-11 buffer solutions and stable color indication in acidic and neutral solid systems (pH 2 and 7) at 97% relative humidity.

Membrane proteins (MPs) play important roles in various cellular processes and are major targets for drugs. Solubilization of MPs is often needed for structural and biophysical studies. For high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, there is a size limit of the sample (<100 kDa), and a high thermal stability at an increased temperature is required.
