The analysis of the phenolic profile in the walnut pellicle (WP) and its exploitability can help to promote the valorization of the industrial waste from walnut production. Three forms of 33 monomeric phenols in WPs were quantified based on our previously established LC-MS/MS method. The levels of protocatechuic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in the WPs were the highest, exceeding 400 μg/g. Antioxidant tests revealed that all three phenolic forms of WPs were effective antioxidants (IC: 2.12-35.05 µg/mL). The findings also revealed that drying temperature had a substantial type-dependent effect on phenolics and their antioxidant ability in WPs. KEGG enrichment analysis found that drying method has the greatest impact on WPs phenols in six metabolic pathways. Besides, 11 active substances in WPs were identified by a compound-targeted activity screening approach, indicating that WPs could be used as a natural antioxidant source in the development of medical and nutraceutical products.

The role of sulfidated zero-valent iron in enhancing anaerobic digestion of waste activated sludge.

J Environ Manage

January 2025

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Chemical Pollution and Environmental Safety & MOE Key Laboratory of Theoretical Chemistry of Environment, School of Environment, South China Normal University, Guangzhou, 510006, China; Institute of Science and Technology Innovation Co., Ltd., South China Normal University, Qingyuan, 511517, China. Electronic address:

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) has been confirmed in enhancing methane production by improving interspecies electron transfer during anaerobic digestion (AD) of waste activated sludge (WAS). In this study, we suppose that sulfidated zero-valent iron (S-ZVI), a semiconductor material, has better property of electron transfer in AD process. Based on two-phase anaerobic digestion process, nitrite and S-ZVI were used separately for improving acidogenic phase and methanogenic phase of anaerobic sludge digestion.

Background: Whey protein's biochemical properties make it an ideal nutritional supplement for patients with cancer, especially in perioperative care. Thus, the present study aims to assess the efficacy of whey protein supplementation (WPS) compared to standard care in enhancing postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing comprehensive surgical staging for gynecological cancer.

Methods: In an open-label, randomized controlled trial conducted at Rajavithi Hospital between November 28, 2023 and July 8, 2024, 61 patients scheduled for comprehensive surgical staging were enrolled.

January 2025

From the Department of Radiology, Duke University Hospital, 2301 Erwin Rd, Box 3808, Durham, NC 27701 (B.W.T., K.R.K., B.C.A., S.P.T., D.E.K., B.H., M.R.B., D.M., E.S., E.A.); Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics (N.F., S.M., A.E.) and Department of Medical Physics (W.P.S., E.S., E.A.), Duke University, Durham, NC.

Background Detection of hepatic metastases at CT is a daily task in radiology departments that influences medical and surgical treatment strategies for oncology patients. Purpose To compare simulated photon-counting CT (PCCT) with energy-integrating detector (EID) CT for the detection of small liver lesions. Materials and Methods In this reader study (July to December 2023), a virtual imaging framework was used with 50 anthropomorphic phantoms and 183 generated liver lesions (one to six lesions per phantom, 0.

While the pulmonary effects of regular waterpipe smoking (R-WPS) are well-defined, the impact of occasional waterpipe smoking (O-WPS) on the lungs remains less established. This study investigated the pulmonary toxicity and underlying mechanisms of O-WPS versus R-WPS following 6 months of exposure, focusing on histopathology, inflammation in the lung, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and plasma, as well as oxidative stress, genotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in lung homogenates. Exposure to both O-WPS and R-WPS resulted in significant histological changes, including increased numbers of alveolar macrophages and lymphocytes, as well as interstitial fibrosis.
