Article Abstract
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by three Lactic Acid Bacteria strains, SLT10, C7, and B3, were isolated using two methods: ethanol precipitation (EPS-ETOH) and ultrafiltration (EPS-UF) through a 10 KDa cut-off membrane. EPS recovery by ultrafiltration was higher than ethanol precipitation for SLT10 and C7. However, it was similar with both methods for B3. The monomer composition of the EPS fractions revealed differences in structures and molar ratios between the two studied methods. EPS isolated from SLT10 are composed of glucose and mannose for EPS-ETOH against glucose, mannose, and rhamnose for EPS-UF. EPS extracted from C7 and B3 showed similar composition (glucose and mannose) but different molar ratios. The molecular weights of the different EPS fractions ranged from 11.6±1.83 to 62.4±2.94 kDa. Molecular weights of EPS-ETOH fractions were higher than those of EPS-UF fractions. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis revealed a similarity in the distribution of the functional groups (O-H, C-H, C=O, -COO, and C-O-C) between the EPS isolated from the three strains.

Dialdehyde polysaccharides (DAPs) were prepared as tanning agents via periodate oxidation, intentionally omitting ethanol precipitation to maintain molecular weight polydispersity, thus optimizing tanning performance. However, the presence of formaldehyde in these DAPs compromised their environmental sustainability. This study systematically explored the impact of polysaccharide structures on formaldehyde formation in DAPs.

Background/objectives: A commonly taught principle when treating emergency department (ED) patients with acute alcohol intoxication is to give thiamine before dextrose to avoid precipitating Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE). We sought to evaluate the prevalence of WE among a national sample of veterans who presented to the ED with alcohol intoxication and who then received dextrose before thiamine.
Methods: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients presenting to all Veterans Affairs (VA) Emergency Departments (ED) over a 10-year period (2010-2019).
Biological Characteristics and Domestication of and the Antioxidant Activity of Its Cultivated Fruiting Bodies.

Single-factor and orthogonal experiments were conducted to investigate the biological characteristics of strains isolated from wild fruiting bodies collected in Tekes County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Building upon the optimal mycelial culture conditions identified, domestication cultivation studies were performed, including experiments to induce fruiting body formation. Liquid strains were inoculated into substrates to monitor developmental stages from primordia formation to mature fruiting bodies, with macroscopic characteristics recorded throughout the cultivation process.

While polysaccharides from Angelica sinensis (ASP) exhibit promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for wound healing, their efficacy in aqueous solution is transient. In this study, we extracted ASP and fractionated it via stepwise alcohol precipitation (ASP-30, ASP-50, ASP-70, ASP-80). The molecular weight, monosaccharide composition and antioxidant capacity of ASP in different graded ASP fractions were evaluated.

Many recent efforts toward sustainable polymer development use building blocks from renewable biomass feedstocks. However, issues arising from the processes used to extract starting materials from biomass are often overlooked, despite the safety and environmental hazards associated with energy-intensive separation processes and solvent utilization. Here, we describe a holistic approach toward using green solvents and processes to synthesize polyester thermosets from birch bark, a waste product from the paper and pulp industry.
