Identifying Spatial Neglect in Chronic Right Hemisphere Stroke Survivors Using the RHDBank Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: The Apples Test differentiated SN in a group of chronic right hemisphere stroke survivors. Using multiple measures from the CLQT seemed to capture a greater range of problems than clock drawing and paragraph reading tests alone. Therefore, the RHDBank test battery as a whole-and in part the CLQT, Apples Test, and Indented Paragraph Test-can detect certain subtypes of SN in the chronic deficit profile after RHD and is a starting point for diagnostic integration by speech-language pathologists.PMID:38181442 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00285 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Methylcellulose/chitosan nanofiber-based composites doped with lactoferrin-loaded Ag-MOF nanoparticles for the preservation of fresh apple
In this study, composite biopolymer films consisting of methylcellulose (MC) and chitosan nanofibers (ChNF) were fabricated, which contained lactoferrin (LAC)-loaded silver-metal organic framework (Ag-MOF) nanoparticles. The results indicated that the nanoparticles were uniformly distributed throughout the biopolymer films, which led to improvements in tensile strength (56.1 ± 3.2 MPa), thermal stability, water solubility, swelling index, water vapor barrier properties (from 2.2 ± 2.1 to 1.9 ± 1.9 × 10-11 g. m/m2. s. Pa), and UV-shielding effects. The Ag-MOF-LAC2% films also exhibited strong and long-lasting antibacter...

Biosynthesis of the phycocyanin β-subunit in Escherichia coli BL21 and its antioxidant activity and application in the preservation of fresh-cut apples
In this study, the biosynthesis of phycocyanin β-subunit (CpcB) in Escherichia coli BL21 was investigated, and its antioxidant activity and application in anti-browning of fresh-cut apples was explored. Four genes (cpcB, cpeS, hox1 and pcyA) involved in the biosynthesis of CpcB were cloned and transformed into E. coli BL21 by constructing recombinant plasmid pETDuet-5. The positive transformant was screened by ampicillin resistance. The analysis of SDS-PAGE and zinc fluorescence spectrum showed that CpcB was successfully expressed in E. coli BL21 with a molecular weight of 21 kDa. The purified CpcB had a maximum absorptio...

Application of combined treatment of peracetic acid and ultraviolet-C for inactivating pathogens in water and on surface of apples
In this study, a combined treatment of peracetic acid (PAA) and 280 nm Ultraviolet-C (UVC) - Light emitting diode (LED) was applied for inactivating foodborne pathogens in water and apples. The combined treatment of PAA (50 ppm) and UVC-LED showed synergistic inactivation effects against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in water. In mechanism analysis, PAA/UVC-LED treatment induced more lipid peroxidation, intracellular ROS, membrane, and DNA damage than a single treatment. Among them, membrane damage was the main synergistic inactivation mechanism of combination treatment. Cell rupture and shrink of bot...

Mechanism of procyanidins for health functionality by improving the intestinal environment
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2023 Dec 6:zbad174. doi: 10.1093/bbb/zbad174. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProcyanidins are one of the polyphenols consisting of multiple flavan-3-ols (e.g. epicatechin). They have a complex chemical structure, with the degree of polymerization and linked position of flavan-3-ols varying among various foods such as apples and chocolate. Physiological functional studies of procyanidins have investigated their mechanisms in cells and animals based on their antioxidant effects.
