This paper presents the preparation and characterization of composite membranes based on chitosan (Chi), sulfonated ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (sEPDM), and polypropylene (PPy), and designed to capture hydrogen sulfide. The Chi/sEPDM/PPy composite membranes were prepared through controlled evaporation of a toluene dispersion layer of Chi:sEPDM 1;1, , deposited by immersion and under a slight vacuum (100 mmHg) on a PPy hollow fiber support. The composite membranes were characterized morphologically, structurally, and thermally, but also from the point of view of their performance in the process of hydrogen sulfide sequestration in an acidic media solution with metallic ion content (Cu, Cd, Pb, and/or Zn). The operational parameters of the pertraction were the pH, pM, matrix gas flow rate, and composition. The results of pertraction from synthetic gases mixture (nitrogen, methane, carbon dioxide) indicated an efficient removal of hydrogen sulfide through the prepared composite membranes, as well as its immobilization as sulfides. The sequestration and the recuperative separation, as sulfides from an acid medium, of the hydrogen sulfide reached up to 96%, decreasing in the order: CuS > PbS > CdS > ZnS.

Exposure to a choline-deficient diet during pregnancy and lactation alters the liver transcriptome profile in offspring of dams with fatty liver.
Clin Nutr ESPEN
January 2025
University of Medical Sciences, Department of Histology and Embryology, Poznań, Poland.
Background & Aims: The developmental origin of health and disease hypothesis shows that early adverse exposures can have lifelong health effects. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the impact of choline intake during pregnancy and/or lactation on gene expression profiles in the liver of 24-day-old male rat offspring from dams with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods: Phenotypic characteristic, histological examination and global transcriptome pattern of liver tissue specimens obtained from offspring of dams suffering from fatty liver, provided with proper choline intake during pregnancy and lactation (NN), fed a choline-deficient diet during both periods (DD), deprived of choline only during pregnancy (DN), or only during lactation (ND), was performed.
Crosslinked Versus Non-Crosslinked Resorbable Collagen Membranes for Periodontal Regeneration: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Non-Inferiority Clinical Trial.
J Periodontal Res

Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the results of combination therapy involving bone grafting and two different resorbable collagen membranes in 1-, 2- and 3-wall infrabony defects.
Methods: A total of 174 patients with infrabony defects (≥ 7 mm periodontal probing depth) were randomized to receive deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) with either a native porcine non-crosslinked collagen membrane (N-CM, control, n = 87) or a novel porcine crosslinked collagen membrane (C-CM, test, n = 87). Clinical parameters, including periodontal probing depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival recession (GR), were recorded at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks.

Background: Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a noncancerous, benign tumor of soft tissue with an unidentified origin. Occurrences of abnormalities on the palm are less frequently documented.
Case Report Presentation: A 47-year-old East Asian woman presented with a palm tumor on her left knuckle that had been present for 4 months.
Patterns of variations in lipid molecular profile during larval development of red king crab, Paralithodes camtschaticus, and Japanese mitten crab, Eriocheir Japonica.

A.V. Zhirmunsky National Scientific Center of Marine Biology, Far Eastern Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Palchevskogo 17, Vladivostok, 690041, Russia.
Article Synopsis
- The red king crab and Japanese mitten crab are important for both their nutritional value and ecological research.
- A study focused on the changes in lipid profiles during the crabs' embryonic and larval stages, highlighting how triacylglycerols disappeared in early larvae but reappeared later with different compositions.
- The research revealed species-specific demands for polyunsaturated fatty acids, which could guide better diet selection in aquaculture practices.
Efficient degradation of corn straw at low temperature using a novel co-cultured consortium LHWA.

College of Biological Engineering, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266045, China.
Article Synopsis
- Straw degradation is slow in cold environments, but a consortium of bacteria and fungi, named LHWA, was developed to enhance this process.
- Under 4 °C, this consortium achieved a 55.52% straw weight loss in liquid fermentation after 30 days and 58.36% in solid fermentation after 60 days.
- Transcriptomic analysis indicated that B. cereus, part of the consortium, enhances cold resistance by modifying cell membrane fluidity and increasing cold stress response proteins.
