Contribution of mono- and co-culture of Pseudomonas paralactis, Acinetobacter MN21 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia to the spoilage of chill-stored lamb.

Exploring the contribution of common microorganisms to spoilage is of great significance in inhibiting spoilage in lamb. This work investigated the extent of protein degradation and profile changes of free amino acids (FAAs), free fatty acids (FFAs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in lamb caused by single- and co-culture of the common aerobic spoilage bacteria, P. paralactis, Ac.

Effects of different cold chain logistics modes on the quality and bacterial community succession of fresh pork.

The connection and temperature control of cold chain links are key to ensuring meat quality. Considering the practical production of cold chain logistics in China, this study investigated the impact of various cold chain logistics modes (including warehousing, transportation, and sales conditions) at different temperature settings (7 °C, 4 °C, and - 1 °C), modeled in the laboratory, on the quality and bacterial community succession of pork. The pork quality was evaluated by pH, water holding capacity, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), total viable count (TVC) and myowater status.

Zein and tannic acid hybrid particles improving physical stability, controlled release properties, and antimicrobial activity of cinnamon essential oil loaded Pickering emulsions.

Pickering emulsion loading essential oil has demonstrated a promising strategy as delivery system in food preservation, but localization in stability and antimicrobial activity limits application. In this study, Pickering emulsions co-loaded with tannic acid and cinnamon essential oil (ZTC) have been developed based on zein and tannic acid complexes (ZT) mediated interfacial engineering. Fourier transform infrared, fluorescence spectroscopy, and molecular docking results indicated tannic acid altered the structural of zein.

Identification of safe channels for screws in the anterior pelvic ring fixation system.

Background: Minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fracture using anterior ring internal fixator system is increasing gradually, and the way to insert the fixation screws in the fixation system is the key technical points of the method. However, there have been few studies on insertion of fixation screws for the anterior pelvic ring internal fixator system.

Objective: To identify safe channels for fixation screws in the anterior pelvic fixator system and provide the anatomical basis for insertion of fixation screws in clinical operation.

Dynamic changes of bacteria and screening of potential spoilage markers of lamb in aerobic and vacuum packaging.

Microorganisms proliferate, consume nutrients, and produce many undesired metabolites, which are the main reason for the spoilage of fresh meat. Screening spoilage markers is of great significance for characterizing the freshness of fresh meat. At present, there are few studies on the volatile spoilage markers (VSMs) of lamb and their relationship with bacteria.

Effects of Different Storage Temperatures on the Physicochemical Properties and Bacterial Community Structure of Fresh Lamb Meat.

This study was aimed to compare the physicochemical properties and bacterial community structure of tray-packaged fresh lamb meat under different storage temperatures, such as 4°C (chilling), -1.5°C (supercooling), -4°C (superchilling) and -9°C (sub-freezing). The total viable counts (TVC), total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), bacterial diversity and metabolic pathways were investigated.

Enrichment of Wee1/CDC2 and NF-κB Signaling Pathway Constituents Mutually Contributes to CDDP Resistance in Human Osteosarcoma.

Purpose: Osteosarcoma (OS) universally exhibits heterogeneity and cisplatin (CDDP) resistance. Although the Wee1/CDC2 and nuclear factor кB (NF-κB) pathways were reported to show abnormal activation in some tumor cells with CDDP resistance, whether there is any concrete connection is currently unclear. We explored it in human OS cells.

Three-dimensional printing of patient-specific plates for the treatment of acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral plate disruption.

Background: Complicated acetabular fractures comprise the most challenging field for orthopedists. The purpose of this study was to develop three-dimensional printed patient-specific (3DPPS) Ti-6Al-4 V plates to treat complicated acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral plate (QLP) disruption and to evaluate their efficacy.

Methods: Fifty patients with acetabular fractures involving QLP disruption were selected between January 2016 and June 2017.

Comparative biomechanical testing of customized three-dimensional printing acetabular-wing plates for complex acetabular fractures.

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) printing of an acetabular wing-plate is a new minimally invasive surgical technique for complex acetabular fractures.

Objectives: To investigate the biomechanical stability of 3D printing acetabular wing-plates. The results were compared with 2 conventional fixation systems.

Biomechanics of Anterior Ring Internal Fixation Combined with Sacroiliac Screw Fixation for Tile C3 Pelvic Fractures.

BACKGROUND Despite the development of minimally invasive techniques for pelvic fractures, performing minimally invasive surgery for Tile C3 pelvic fractures remains challenging. Thus, we propose use of anterior ring internal fixation combined with sacroiliac screw fixation for Tile C3 pelvic fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A normal pelvic finite element model (model 1) was established.

The application of lateral-rectus approach on toddlers' unstable pelvic fractures.

Background: Pelvic fractures are rare in toddlers but are often associated with other injuries that make treatment difficult. Conservative treatment has been used with moderate success, but it is unclear if surgical correction could confer additional benefits and improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to report authors' experience using the lateral-rectus approach (LRA) for surgical correction of unstable pelvic fractures in two toddlers.

Evidence of the genetic diversity and clonal population structure of Oenococcus oeni strains isolated from different wine-making regions of China.

Studies of the genetic diversity and population structure of Oenococcus oeni (O. oeni) strains from China are lacking compared to other countries and regions. In this study, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) methods were used to investigate the genetic diversity and regional evolutionary patterns of 38 O.
