Detection of olive oil adulteration with vegetable oils by ultra‐performance convergence chromatography‐quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UPC2‐QTOF MS) coupled with multivariate data analysis based on the differences of triacylglycerol compositions
This manuscript reported the study of differentiating three different vegetable oils, including soybean oil, corn oil, and sunflower oil from olive oil by using UPC2‐QTOF MS and multivariate data analysis based on their differences in triacylglycerol compositions. After that, these three vegetable oils were adulterated to olive oil in 1%, 0.75%, and 0.5% (v/v), and the adulterated olive oil samples were differentiated from the pure olive oil using the similar analytical strategies but different data...

Overexpression of SikRbcs2 gene promotes chilling tolerance of tomato by improving photosynthetic enzyme activity, reducing oxidative damage, and stabilizing cell membrane structure
The excessive expression of SikRbcs2 can reduce the damage of low temperature to photosynthetic mechanism of tomato seedlings, maintain relatively stable photosynthesis, enhance the ability of ROS scavenging of tomato seedlings, maintain stable membrane structure, and improve cold tolerance of tomato. Abstract Red blood cell is a small subunit encoding 1, 5‐ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rubisco). It could control the catalytic activity of Rubisco and play an important role...

Fermentation Improves Calcium Bioavailability in Moringa oleifera leaves and Prevents Bone Loss in Calcium‐deficient Rats
The effect of different microorganisms on calcium content. Abstract Nowadays, there is an increasing demand of healthier plant calcium supplements. Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) are rich in calcium and thus are promising candidates for developing efficient calcium supplements. Here, using fermentation‐based approaches, we developed a Moringa oleifera leaf ferment (MOLF), which contents higher levels of calcium. The therapeutic potential of the MOLF was also examined both in vitro and in vivo....

Future of Diagnostic Computed Tomography: An Update on Physicochemical Properties, Safety, and Development of X-ray Contrast Media
Iodinated contrast media (CM) are utilized in approximately 40% of the 300 million computed tomography (CT) scans undertaken annually. This review focuses on the physicochemical properties and safety of iodinated CM, and the development of new x-ray CM, and it explores methods to optimize CT scanning parameters. It concludes that good x-ray CM should have high structural stability, hydrophilicity, and CT attenuation; low viscosity, osmolality, and protein binding; no metabolism and tissue accumulation;...

Suicidality in Childhood and Adolescence. Dtsch Arztebl Int. 2020 Apr 10;117(15):261-267 Authors: Becker M, Correll CU Abstract BACKGROUND: The suicide of minors in Germany is rare in absolute numbers: there were only 212 suicides among persons aged 10 to 20 in Germany in 2017. Nonetheless, in school surveys, 36.4-39.4% of those surveyed reported suicidal ideation, and 6.5-9% reported suicide attempts. Suicide among children and adolescents is thus a...

IBCC chapter & cast – Parenteral anticoagulants
Anticoagulation is ubiquitous in critical care.  Considering the use of DVT prophylaxis, the majority of critically ill patients will receive some form of anticoagulation during their ICU stay.  Anticoagulants are potentially high-risk medications, with relatively narrow therapeutic windows.  Thus, it's important to understand the pharmacology of various agents to select and monitor anticoagulation optimally.

Physical Activity for Bone Health: How Much and/or How Hard?
Purpose High-impact physical activity is associated with bone health, but higher volumes of lower intensity activity may also be important. The aims of this study were to: 1) investigate the relative importance of volume and intensity of physical activity accumulated during late adolescence for bone health at age 23; and 2) illustrate interpretation of the results. Methods This is a secondary analysis of data from the Iowa Bone Development Study, a longitudinal study of bone health...

The Menopause Alters Aerobic Adaptations to High-Intensity Interval Training
Introduction Post-menopausal women have lower resting cardiac function than pre-menopausal women, but whether the menopause influences maximal cardiac output and hence exercise capacity is unclear. It is possible that pre- and post-menopausal women achieve similar improvements in maximal aerobic capacity (V[Combining Dot Above] O2max) and cardiac output with exercise training via different regional left ventricular muscle function (“LV mechanics”), as suggested by in vitro and animal studies....

Repetition attenuates the influence of recency on recognition memory: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence
Abstract Studies of recognition memory often demonstrate a recency effect on behavioral performance, whereby response times (RTs) are faster for stimuli that were previously presented recently as opposed to more remotely in the past. One account of this relationship between performance and presentation lag posits that memories are accessed by serially searching backward in time, such that RT indicates the self‐terminating moment of such a process. Here, we investigated the conditions under which...

Electrogastrography for psychophysiological research: Practical considerations, analysis pipeline, and normative data in a large sample
Abstract Electrogastrography (EGG) is the noninvasive electrophysiological technique used to record gastric electrical activity by means of cutaneous electrodes placed on the abdomen. EGG has been so far mostly used in clinical studies in gastroenterology, but it represents an attractive method to study brain‐viscera interactions in psychophysiology. Compared to the literature on electrocardiography for instance, where practical recommendations and normative data are abundant, the literature on...

Tumour‐associated macrophages as a novel target of VEGI‐251 in cancer therapy
Abstract Tumour‐associated macrophages (TAMs), which possess M2‐like characters and are derived from immature monocytes in the circulatory system, represent a predominant population of inflammatory cells in solid tumours. TAM infiltration in tumour microenvironment can be used as an important prognostic marker in many cancer types and is a potential target for cancer prevention or treatment. VEGI‐251 not only is involved in the inhibition of tumour angiogenesis, but also participates in the regulation...

Focal adhesion kinase is activated by microtubule‐depolymerizing agents and regulates membrane blebbing in human endothelial cells
Abstract Microtubule‐depolymerizing agents can selectively disrupt tumor vessels via inducing endothelial membrane blebbing. However, the mechanism regulating blebbing is largely unknown. IMB5046 is a newly discovered microtubule‐depolymerizing agent. Here, the functions of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) during IMB5046‐induced blebbing and the relevant mechanism are studied. We found that IMB5046 induced membrane blebbing and reassembly of focal adhesions in human vascular endothelial cells. Both FAK...

Identification of circRNA and mRNA expression profiles and functional networks of vascular tissue in lipopolysaccharide‐induced sepsis
Abstract Sepsis is the most common cause of death in intensive care units. This study investigated the circular RNA (circRNA) and mRNA expression profiles and functional networks of the aortic tissue in sepsis. We established a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced rat sepsis model. High‐throughput sequencing was performed on the aorta tissue to identify differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs and mRNAs, which were validated by real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR). Bioinformatic...
