In order to clarify the effects of extrusion treatment on the processing properties of extrudates, providing a theoretical basis for the production of gluten-based extrudates with favorable sensory quality. This study examined the effects of various extrusion temperatures on the rheological properties of wheat gluten-peanut oil complexes (WPE) and…[Read more]

Despite a constantly growing body of evidence that support RV longitudinal strain evaluation in the majority of CV patients, its assessment has not become the part of the routine echocardiographic examination in the majority of echocardiographic laboratories. The aim of this clinical review was to summarize the current data about the predictive…[Read more]

In this study, the 3-quinuclidinone reductase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AtQR) was modified by site-directed mutagenesis. And we further obtained a saturation mutant library in which the residue 197 was mutated. A single-point mutation converted the wild enzyme that originally had no catalytic activity in reduction of ethyl…[Read more]

The knowledge gained from the interaction between CSCs and various immune cells will provide insight into the mechanisms by which tumors evade immune surveillance. In conclusion, CSC-targeted immunotherapy emerges as a novel immunotherapy strategy against cancer by disrupting the interaction between immune cells and CSCs in the TME.The essential…[Read more]

We further discuss the resulting legal, social and ethical implications and concerns and propose future actions intended to improve the legal framework. We believe that stimulating such discussions throughout the scientific and professional community will result in the advancement of DNA profiling and databasing in a future European Union member…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend laparoscopic cholecystectomy be offered for patients with acute cholecystitis except those deemed as high risk. Few studies have examined the impact of frailty on outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the association of frailty with…[Read more]

Limitations were found regarding characterization and classification of hepatic and renal tumorous lesions.Image quality revealed mostly minor diagnostic limitations for the mobile device, mean 2.9 (SD -0.300) and was excellent or with only minor diagnostic limitations for conventional high-end ultrasound, mean 3.25 (SD -0.438).

Due to its…[Read more]

We report on nanosecond-long, gate-dependent valley lifetimes of free charge carriers in monolayer WSe2, unambiguously identified by the combination of time-resolved Kerr rotation and electrical transport measurements. While the valley polarization increases when tuning the Fermi level into the conduction or valence band, there is a strong…[Read more]

Radiomics and deep learning have recently gained attention in the imaging assessment of various liver diseases. Recent research has demonstrated the potential utility of radiomics and deep learning in staging liver fibroses, detecting portal hypertension, characterizing focal hepatic lesions, prognosticating malignant hepatic tumors, and…[Read more]
