Effects of different strains fermentation on nutritional functional components and flavor compounds of sweet potato slurry.

In this paper, we study the effect of microbial fermentation on the nutrient composition and flavor of sweet potato slurry, different strains of , and were employed to ferment sweet potato slurry. After 48 h of fermentation with different strains (10% inoculation amount), we compared the effects of several strains on the nutritional and functional constituents (protein, soluble dietary fiber, organic acid, soluble sugar, total polyphenol, free amino acid, and sensory characteristics). The results demonstrated that the total sugar level of sweet potato slurry fell significantly after fermentation by various strains, indicating that these strains can utilize the nutritious components of sweet potato slurry for fermentation.

Wheat embryo globulin nutrients ameliorate d-galactose and aluminum chloride-induced cognitive impairment in rats.

Wheat embryo globulin nutrient (WEGN), with wheat embryo globulin (WEG) as the main functional component, is a nutritional combination that specifically targets memory impairment. In this study, we explored the protective role of WEGN on Alzheimer's disease (AD)-triggered cognitive impairment, neuronal injury, oxidative stress, and acetylcholine system disorder. Specifically, we established an AD model via administration of d-galactose (d-gal) and Aluminum chloride (AlCl) for 70 days, then on the 36th day, administered animals in the donepezil and WEGN (300, 600, and 900 mg/kg) groups with drugs by gavage for 35 days.

Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial resection of the renal pelvis for urothelial carcinoma: A case report.

Background: The standard treatment of transitional cell carcinoma of the upper urinary tract consists of radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff removal, which can be performed either in open or laparoscopy or robot-assisted laparoscopy. Treatment of chronic renal insufficiency patients with upper urothelial tumor is in a dilemma. Urologists weigh and consider the balance between tumor control and effective renal function preservation.

[Interval of ≤2 weeks between 12-core prostate biopsy and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy does not affect perioperative parameters or surgical outcomes].

Objective: To determine whether a short interval (≤2 weeks) between 12-core prostate biopsy and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) affects perioperative parameters and the outcome of surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study included 102 cases of prostate cancer treated by LRP after 12-core prostate biopsy from January 2012 to December 2016. Based on the interval between prostate biopsy and LRP, we divided the patients into three groups: ≤2 wk (n = 35), >2－6 wk (n = 21), and >6 wk (n = 46).

[Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer found in transurethral resection of the prostate: Report of 14 cases].

Objective: To sum up the experience in the treatment of prostate cancer found in transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) by laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP).

Methods: Fourteen patients found with prostate cancer during TURP underwent LRP in our hospital between 2011 and 2016. We reviewed our experience in the treatment and analyzed the clinical and follow-up data.

Molecular Design, Structural Analysis and Antifungal Activity of Derivatives of Peptide CGA-N46.

Chromogranin A (CGA)-N46, a derived peptide of human chromogranin A, has antifungal activity. To further research the active domain of CGA-N46, a series of derivatives were designed by successively deleting amino acid from both terminus of CGA-N46, and the amino acid sequence of each derivative was analyzed by bioinformatic software. Based on the predicted physicochemical properties of the peptides, including half-life time in mammalian reticulocytes (in vitro), yeast (in vivo) and E.

Optimization of the Expression Conditions of CGA-N46 in Bacillus subtilis DB1342(p-3N46) by Response Surface Methodology.

CGA-N46 is a small antifungal-derived peptide and consists of the 31st-76th amino acids of the N-terminus of human chromogranin A. Polycistronic expression of recombinant CGA-N46 in Bacillus subtilis DB1342 was used to improve its production, but the yield of CGA-N46 was still low. In the present study, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize culture medium composition and growth conditions of the engineered strain B.
