Active whey protein/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose edible films incorporated with cinnamaldehyde: Characterization, release kinetics and application to Mongolian cheese preservation
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Mar 21:131061. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131061. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEdible films with modulated release of antimicrobial agents are important for food preservation. Herein, antimicrobial edible films were prepared using whey protein (WP) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HM) as polymer matrix materials and cinnamaldehyde (CIN) as antimicrobial agent. The mass ratios of WP and HM were 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 and 0/100. The release kinetics of CIN through the film was studied, applying the Fickian model, power law and Weibull model. The films were also characterized by physical and...

Epidemiological investigation of Cryptosporidium in children with diarrhea in middle Inner Mongolia, China
Acta Trop. 2024 Mar 20:107177. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107177. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCryptosporidia (Cryptosporidium) is a protozoan that is widely parasitic in the intestinal cells of humans and animals, and it is also an important zoonotic parasite. However, there is no epidemiological investigation on Cryptosporidium spp. infection in infants with diarrhea of Inner Mongolia, the largest livestock region in China. To investigate the prevalence of Cryptosporidium, 2435 fresh fecal samples were collected from children with diarrhea in Inner Mongolia Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. Molecular charact...

Comparative analysis of the gut bacteria and fungi in migratory demoiselle cranes (Grus virgo) and common cranes (Grus grus) in the Yellow River Wetland, China
This study provided a research basis for the protection of cranes. Indeed, a better understanding of the gut microbiota is very important for the conservation and management of wild birds, as it not only helps us to understand their life history and related mechanisms, but also can hinder the spread of pathogenic microorganisms.

Serum metabolomics analysis combined with network pharmacology reveals possible mechanisms of postoperative cognitive dysfunction in the treatment of Mongolian medicine Eerdun Wurile basic formula
This study analyzed the endogenous metabolites and metabolic pathways in the serum of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats gavaged with the Eerdun Wurile basic formula (EWB) using metabolomics methods and network pharmacology to explore the possible mechanism of action of the EWB in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). SD rats were divided into the basic formula group, which received the EWB, and the control group, which received equal amounts of distilled water. The blood was collected from the abdominal aorta and analyzed for metabolite profiles using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (U...

Unraveling genomic diversity and positive selection signatures of Qaidam cattle through whole-genome re-sequencing
Anim Genet. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.1111/age.13417. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTQaidam cattle are a typical Chinese native breed inhabiting northwest China. They bear the characteristics of high cold and roughage tolerance, low-oxygen adaptability and good meat quality. To analyze the genetic diversity of Qaidam cattle, 60 samples were sequenced using whole-genome resequencing technology, along with 192 published sets of whole-genome sequencing data of Indian indicine cattle, Chinese indicine cattle, North Chinese cattle breeds, East Asian taurine cattle, Eurasian taurine cattle and European taurine cattle as controls. It w...
