This work examines the impact of frying (180 °C) French fries on the degradation of fatty acids and tocopherols in rapeseed oil, with a particular focus on the formation and adsorption of gamma-tocopheryl quinone on the surface of French fries. Gamma-tocopheryl quinone has a cytotoxic effect, and long-term exposure may alter DNA. It was found that gamma-tocopheryl quinone formed 1.2 times faster than alpha-tocopheryl quinone during pan-frying French fries. Addition of French fries also accelerated the hydrolysis of fatty acids, leading to a 1.3-fold increase in the rate of tocopherol degradation compared to heating pure oil. A new finding of this study is that gamma-tocopheryl quinone is the dominant oxidation product adsorbed onto the surface of French fries during frying, with its content being 1.5 times higher than that of alpha-tocopheryl quinone. The study highlights the need to reconsider using oils rich in gamma-tocopherol for frying to minimise health risks.

Objectives: Among critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) who lack emergent indications for renal replacement therapy (RRT), a strategy of preemptive RRT initiation does not lead to improved outcomes. However, for patients with persistent AKI and without urgent indications for RRT, the safety of prolonged delays in RRT initiation is unclear. We sought to assess the association between progressively longer delays in RRT initiation and clinical outcomes.

Background: Although premature aging is a significant concern in adult survivors of childhood cancer, little is known about the role of diet in premature aging in this vulnerable population. Therefore, we examined whether dietary patterns specific to childhood cancer survivors are associated with premature aging.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 2904 adult survivors of childhood cancer (mean age = 31 years, SD = 8 years) in the St.

Fermented vegetables are traditionally produced using the endogenous microorganisms present in raw ingredients. While the diversity of bacteria and fungi in fermented vegetables has been relatively well studied, phage communities remain largely unexplored. In this study, we collected twelve samples of fermented cabbage, carrot, and turnip after fermentation and analyzed the microbial and viral communities using shotgun and viral metagenomic approaches.
