Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) and colon adenocarcinoma (CAC) are the most common gastrointestinal cancer subtypes, with a high incidence and mortality. Numerous studies have shown that its occurrence and progression are significantly related to abnormal DNA methylation, especially CpG island methylation. However, little is known about the application of DNA methylation in GAC and CAC. The methylation profiles were accessed from the Cancer Genome Atlas database to identify promoter methylation-based cancer subtypes and signatures for GAC and CAC. Six hypo-methylated clusters for GAC and six hyper-methylated clusters for CAC were separately generated with different OS profiles, tumor progression became worse as the methylation level decreased in GAC or increased in CAC, and hypomethylation in GAC and hypermethylation in CAC were negatively correlated with microsatellite instability. Additionally, the hypo- and hyper-methylated site-based signatures with high accuracy, high efficiency and strong independence can separately predict the OS of GAC and CAC patients. By integrating the methylation-based signatures with prognosis-related clinicopathologic characteristics, two clinicopathologic-epigenetic nomograms were cautiously established with strong predictive performance and high accuracy. Our research indicates that methylation mechanisms differ between GAC and CAC, and provides novel clinical biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of GAC and CAC.

Unlabelled: The pathogenesis of most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome is not clearly defined. There are some aspects of the disease that suggest a potential effect of genetic predispositions. Mutations (variants) within the genes encoding various subtypes of collagen synthesis, oligomerisation in the endoplasmic reticulum and inactivation of reactive oxygen species may be involved in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome.

In this study, hot water treatment (WT), ultrasonic treatment (UT), ultrasonic-sodium hydroxide treatment (UST), ultrasonic-enzyme treatment (UET), and ultrasonic-microwave treatment (UMT) were used to treat sweet potatoes. The structural, physicochemical, and functional properties of the extracted soluble dietary fibres (SDFs) were named WT-SDF, UT-SDF, UST-SDF, UET-SDF, and UMT-SDF, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal properties, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis were employed.

Gum Arabic underwent enzymatic modification with curcumin oxidation products, prompting self-assembly in water at lower concentrations than native gum Arabic, which was fully soluble. The resulting particles displayed a narrow size distribution, suggestive of a micellization mechanism akin to Critical Micellization Concentration (CMC) in surfactants or Critical Aggregation Concentration (CAC) in polymers. Accurately determining CAC is vital for utilizing polymers in molecule encapsulation, but precise measurement is challenging, requiring multiple techniques.

This study evaluates the structural, physicochemical, functional and rheological properties of papaya dietary fibers (DFs) extracted by alkaline, water and combination of water/wet ball milling. The particle size of DF subjected to water/wet ball milling (WB-DF) was considerably reduced compared to DF extracted by water (W-DF) or alkaline (AL-DF) methods. WB-DF in comparison AL-DF increased the water holding capacity (WHC) by 4.

In recent years, there has been a widespread utilization of composite materials, particularly in critical sectors such as aircraft manufacturing, where errors can have significant consequences. This has generated a need for effective protection of composite materials both during and after production. Detecting internal damage in composite materials, which is often visually imperceptible, becomes crucial and can be assessed using non-destructive testing methods.
