The physiochemical properties, structure characteristics, oxidation, and emulsifying properties of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) in low salt solution after treated by the ultrasound were investigated. The solubility, mean diameters, sulfhydryl content, and carbonyl contents of MPs after ultrasonic treatment increased, while the turbidity decreased. The surface hydrophobicity of MPs with 200 W-600 W treatment increased, but decreased at 800 W treatment. The circular dichroism analysis revealed that α-helix content increased, while β-sheet and random coil content decreased after ultrasonic treatment. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated the fluorescence intensities of MPs were increased after ultrasonic treatment. SDS-PAGE results showed more protein polymers due to myosin heavy chain (MHC) aggregation via disulfide bonds. Based on LC-MS/MS result, the myosin heavy chain was susceptible to oxidation, with monooxidation being the main oxidative modification. Finally, the emulsions stabilized by ultrasonically treated MPs, especially those treated at 800 W, exhibited decreased particle size, improved uniformity, and enhanced stability.

The focus of this work was to evaluate the differences between the thermal and mechanical effects generated by ultrasound waves on the properties of corn starch, which facilitate the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis for the generation of porous starches. The results showed that both the thermal and mechanical effects have the capacity to disorganize/alter the structure of starch, impacting on its properties. Characteristics such as particle size, pasting and thermal properties (peak viscosity 1400-1800 cp.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by dry skin, severe itching, redness, and inflammation. Its complex etiology, involving genetic, immunological, and environmental factors, necessitates innovative therapeutic approaches. This study investigates nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) formulated with traditional fermented coconut (Cocos nucifera L.

Tooth autotransplantation is widely used to replace congenitally missing teeth or teeth with irreversible damage. This case report presents a personalized ultrasonic osteotome that enables precise preparation, minimizes bone trauma, enhances the initial stability of the transplanted tooth, and contributes to a favorable prognosis. The procedure is as follows: a 25-year-old female patient presented with a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown on Tooth #19, which had detached due to severe decay, rendering the tooth unsalvageable.

Early diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is challenging because of its depth, which often leads to misdiagnosis during ultrasound examinations. The unique PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by significant fibrous tissue growth, and high interstitial pressure hinders drug penetration into tumors. Additionally, hypoxia and immune suppression within the tumor contribute to poor responses to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, ultimately leading to an unfavorable prognosis.

Background: This work intended to assess the disinfection efficacy of hypochlorous acid (HA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) disinfectants in disinfecting the dental unit waterlines (DUWL) during comprehensive oral treatment and explore their potential applications in the oral medical environment.
Methods: Firstly, AgNP solution was prepared and evaluated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscope (FE-TEM), and stability tests. Subsequently, 15 dental units were selected and randomly assigned to three groups, each receiving a different disinfection method.
