Article Abstract
The implications of retained strain on and degradation behavior as well as cytocompatibility of the Mg-4Zn-0.5Ca-0.8Mn alloy is comprehensively studied. The retained strain is induced in homogenized specimens by hard-plate hot forging (HPHF) at a temperature (523 K) lower than the recrystallization temperature of the alloy. The retained strain generated during deformation process deteriorated the corrosion response of the deformed alloy as compared to its homogenized counterpart. The strained area of deformed specimen with high dislocation density promoted defect generation (oxygen vacancies) in the film and facilitated preferential migration of ions, consequently leading to formation of a nonuniform product film with low protectiveness. In addition to strain magnitude, the distribution of retained strain also influenced the product film properties in the deformed specimens. An even distribution of retained strain improved the uniformity of the product film to certain extent by providing greater film coverage, resulting in higher film resistance. After 24 h of immersion, the protectiveness of the film was further improved in this specimen due to annihilation of defects through homogeneous ionic migration, which led to the development of a uniform and stable film that restricted further ionic diffusion. The dissolution of Zn(OH) into Zn ions was promoted at lower pH, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity in the specimen with the lowest degradation. Besides, the specimen with stable product film not only minimized the rate of further degradation but also served as an interface for new bone growth, as evident from studies.

The high prevalence and drug resistance of superficial fungal infections (SFIs) pose a serious global public health challenge, urgently necessitating the development of novel antifungal drugs with unique structures and novel targets. Evodiamine derivatives are promising antifungal drug leads, yet they suffer from suboptimal activity and unclear action mechanisms. In this study, a series of N(14)-phenyl evodiamine derivatives were designed, synthesized and tested for their biological activities.

The hop plant is gaining interest in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries due to its abundance of secondary metabolites. However, branches and leaves, despite their antioxidant potential, are typically discarded. To valorize these components as functional ingredients they were dried, milled into hop powder (HP), and used to enrich bread.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus poses a continuing global public health threat due to its outbreaks in poultry farms and zoonotic transmission from birds to humans. In the quest of effective therapeutics against H5N1 infection, antibodies with broad neutralizing activity have attracted significant attention. In this study, we employed a phage display technique to select and identify VHH antibodies with specific neutralizing activity against H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) from an immune llama-derived antibody library.
