Comparison of chitosan and gelatin-based films and application to antimicrobial coatings enriched with grapefruit seed extract for cherry tomato preservation.

Unlabelled: Bio-based single, composite, and bilayer edible films were developed based on chitosan and gelatin, including grapefruit seed extract (GSE) as an antimicrobial agent. The physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of films were analyzed, and it was found that compounding and laminating two polymers could enhance their physicochemical properties. The composite film was strong, endurable, and flexible compared with the single ones.

Synergistic antimicrobial effect and mode of action of palmarosa oil-loaded nanoemulsion and citric acid against .

Unlabelled: The synergistic antimicrobial activity of palmarosa oil (, PO)-loaded nanoemulsion (PO-NE) and citric acid (CA) against the major pathogen for soft-rot disease, was evaluated. The combination of PO-NE and CA (PO-NE + CA) significantly improved the storage stability of PO-NE at 30 °C. Compared to the anti- activity of alone, PO-NE + CA reduced the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by 1/4 and 1/2, respectively.

Analysis of Characteristics and Risk Factors of Patients with Single Gastric Cancer and Synchronous Multiple Gastric Cancer among 14,603 Patients.

Background/aims: Synchronous multiple gastric cancer (SMGC) accounts for approximately 6% to 14% of gastric cancer (GC) cases. This study aimed to identify risk factors for SMGC.

Methods: A total of 14,603 patients diagnosed with GC were prospectively enrolled.

Anti-Salmonella polyvinyl alcohol coating containing a virulent phage PBSE191 and its application on chicken eggshell.

The use of antibiotics in the food industry is avoided due to the increase of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, the bacteriophage is emerging as an alternative agent. Here, we characterized the Salmonella Enteritidis phage PBSE191 and applied it to a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film.

Outcomes of acute kidney injury patients with and without cancer.

Incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients with cancer is increasing, but there have been few studies on AKI in patients with cancer. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in a South Korean tertiary care hospital. A total of 2211 consecutive patients (without cancer 61.
