This study investigated the potential of isochoric freezing to preserve tomatoes. Isochoric freezing is an emerging technology that preserves biological matter at subfreezing temperatures without any ice damage. Isochoric freezing was compared with freezing under isobaric conditions and with preservation techniques used in the food industry cold…[Read more]

The three-dimensional (3D) structures of Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules are essential to understanding their various and important biological functions. However, experimental determination of the atomic structures is laborious and technically difficult. The large gap between the number of sequences and the experimentally determined structures…[Read more]

small number of mothers in the survey on the practice of breast milk expression limited the full determination of the benefits of the education program for nurse-midwives.

The significant increases in the knowledge, attitude on care, and care implementation scores of the nurse-midwives suggest the beneficial effects of the education program.…[Read more]

Using RLZ-Graph, across all human chromosomes, we are able to reduce the disk space to store a genome graph on average by 40.7% compared to colored compacted de Bruijn graphs constructed by Bifrost under the default settings. ARS-1620 nmr The RLZ-Graph scales well in terms of running time and graph sizes with an increasing number of human genome…[Read more]

Mitochondrial morphology changes were observed in a dose-dependent fashion. The second part of the study involved applying the metal ion chelator TPEN after applying 50 µM zinc chloride along with 10 µM pyrithione. TPEN reduced zinc-induced abnormal mitochondrial morphology after zinc treatment. This present study supports that zinc overload may c…[Read more]

Intestinal microbiota imbalance was observed in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)‑positive patients with high ALT. The expression of miR‑192‑5p was significantly elevated in the feces, peripheral blood and intestinal mucosal tissue samples of HBsAg‑positive patients with high ALT along with decreased GLP‑1 mRNA and protein expression. Luciferas…[Read more]
