Surface treatment on PLA substrates by atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) for polymerization of dual RGD-peptides were investigated. Peptide-modified surfaces have been highlighted as the most promising approach to improve the integration of implants into surrounding bones. By varying the RF power, PLA substrates treated by APPJ process have a tendency to form a hydrophobic surface. The effects on the proliferation and differentiation of MG63 cells were evaluated and osteocalcin (OCN) expression was analyzed using RT-PCR. The water contact angle of the W/APPJ process PLA was approximately 54% of that of the W/O APPJ process PLA substrates. W/APPJ process significantly increased cell proliferation, improved the functionality of the material without using a complicated procedure. We believe that pretreatment using the APPJ processes and dual RGD grafting can be more appropriate than traditional surface modification methods, with more potential for application to bone materials.

This study examines the microbial community composition, metabolite characteristics, and the relationship between the two during the fermentation process of Yi traditional fermented liquor. Yi traditional fermented foods have a profound historical and cultural background, with significant ethnic characteristics. As a case in point, Yi traditional fermented liquor is typically prepared using local plants or traditional Chinese herbs as fermentation substrates and undergoes a lengthy fermentation process, resulting in a fermented beverage that is reputed to have beneficial effects on human health.

Background: Tacrolimus is a substrate of CYP 3A5; to reduce the rate of liver injury and rejection in liver transplant (LT) recipients, it is feasible to optimize the administration of tacrolimus by adding CYP gene polymorphism.
Methods: We divided 151 LT recipients randomly into an optimization group and a control group. All were tested routinely for clinical indicators such as FK506 trough concentration and biochemistry, and their complications and survival were observed.

Sulfate (SO) is a pivotal inorganic anion with essential roles in mammalian physiology. NaS1, a member of solute carrier 13 family and divalent anion/sodium symporter family, functions as a Na-sulfate cotransporter, facilitating sulfate (re)absorption across renal proximal tubule and small intestine epithelia. While previous studies have linked several human disorders to mutations in the gene, its transport mechanism remains unclear.

Due to their excellent properties, blue CsPbBr quantum dots show great promise for full-colour display and lighting applications. This study used acetonitrile, a polar solvent, to post-treat CsPbBr quantum dots, resulting in a blue shift to 453 nm. To enhance stability, these quantum dots were encapsulated within the pore structure of mesoporous silica.
