Lipids are relevant during the seed aging process, for which it is pertinent to choose an extraction method that does not alter their nature. Thus, three methods were applied to extract lipids from chia seeds: one used as reference (Soxhlet) and two at room temperature using hexane/ethanol (COBio) and hexane/isopropanol (COHar). The fatty acid composition and the tocopherol content of the oils were analyzed. Also, their oxidative status through the peroxide index, conjugated dienes and trienes, and malondialdehyde were determined. Besides, biophysical techniques, such as DSC and FT-IR, were applied. The extraction yield was not affected by the extraction method, while the fatty acid composition presented slight differences. Despite the high content of PUFAs, the oxidation level was low in all cases, especially in COBio, associated with the high content of α-tocopherol. DSC and FT-IR outcomes coincided with those obtained by conventional studies, resulting in efficient and fast characterization tools.

The phytochemical profile of various plant species reveals that some compounds possess notable antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. In this study we investigated for the first time, the antioxidant activity (FRAP, DPPH and TAC), total phenolic contents and total flavonoid contents of Delile ex Godr flowers extracts (-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol) as well as their antimicrobial activity. The results obtained showed that the methanol extract contained the highest content of total phenolics (346.

Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent medical condition showing an increasing incidence rate in various populations over recent years. Long-term hypertension increases the risk of the occurrence of hypertensive nephropathy (HTN), which is also a health-threatening disorder. Given that very little is known about the pathogenesis of HTN, this study was designed to identify disease biomarkers, which enable early diagnosis of the disease, through the utilization of high-throughput untargeted metabolomics strategies.

Artificial intelligence (AI), with advantages such as automatic feature extraction and high data processing capacity and being unaffected by fatigue, can accurately analyze images obtained from colonoscopy, assess the quality of bowel preparation, and reduce the subjectivity of the operating physician, which may help to achieve standardization and normalization of colonoscopy. In this study, we aimed to explore the value of using an AI-driven intestinal image recognition model to evaluate intestinal preparation before colonoscopy. In this retrospective analysis, we analyzed the clinical data of 98 patients who underwent colonoscopy in Nantong First People's Hospital from May 2023 to October 2023.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and marker recognition algorithms can offer an efficient and non-intrusive means of tracking animal positions. As such, they have become important tools for invertebrate behavioral research. Both approaches require fixing a tag or marker to the study organism, and so it is useful to quantify the effects such procedures have on behavior before proceeding with further research.
