文摘Oat milk has gained widespread consumer acceptance for its creamy texture,β-glucan content,and environmental sustainability.However,its relatively low protein content(typically 2-3 g/serving)presents a nutritional limitation,largely due to poor protein solubility.This study investigated how processing conditions influence protein content and functional stability in oat-based systems by applying two treatments:(1)α-amylase enzymatic hydrolysis,and(2)pH-shifting(from pH 7 to 12 and back)with mild heating(50℃for 10 or 30 min).Oat protein solutions were formulated from two sources:oat flour(OF)and oat protein isolate(OPI).Results suggests that α-amylase pretreatment effectively reduced starch-driven viscosity in OF,facilitating better sample handling and centrifugation.Following pH-shifting and heat treatment,both OF and OPI solutions showed significantly improved protein solubility,with protein content increased from 2.0 to~6.5 g/serving.These changes were accompanied by reduced precipitation,smaller particle sizes,and more negative zeta potential values,indicating enhanced colloidal stability.SDS-PAGE analysis revealed the presence of low-molecular-weight protein fractions,supporting increased solubilization.Fluorescence microscopy confirmed the formation of smaller,more uniformly dispersed particles in treated samples compared to controls.However,noticeable darkening or browning occurred under high-pH heating,indicating potential challenges in color control.The findings provide useful information for future industrial applications and product innovation in the plant-based beverage sector.

文摘A novel T-type specimen enabled the separation of the thermal and athermal contributions of electropulsing treatment(EPT)in pretwinned AZ31 Mg alloy.The combination of T-type geometry and carefully selected EPT conditions equalized the thermal contributions at two distinct locations(J70-C and J77-D)in a thermally stable regime,which isolated the athermal effect in J70-C.The results were verified using finite element analysis.Although the athermal EPT contribution did not alter the fundamental microstructural evolution mechanisms,the evolution rate increased significantly.As a result,the J70-C region exhibited faster grain growth,annihilation of twin boundaries,reduction of low-angle grain boundaries,dislocation annihilation,and static recrystallization compared to its counterpart,as further supported by the microhardness trends.These results were interpreted in light of the additional driving force by the athermal EPT contribution,which accelerated the strain-induced boundary migrations beyond Joule heating alone.The proposed T-type specimen methodology offers a robust framework for decoupling the thermal and athermal effects in macroscale EPT processes.

文摘Rural domestic sewage treatment is critical for environmental protection.This study defines the spatial pattern of villages from the perspective of rural sewage treatment and develops an integrated decision-making system to propose a sewage treatment mode and scheme suitable for local conditions.By considering the village spatial layout and terrain factors,a decision tree model of residential density and terrain type was constructed with accuracies of 76.47%and 96.00%,respectively.Combined with binary classification probability unit regression,an appropriate sewage treatment mode for the village was determined with 87.00%accuracy.The Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP),combined with the Technique for Order Preference(TOPSIS)by Similarity to an Ideal Solution model,formed the basis for optimal treatment process selection under different emission standards.Verification was conducted in 542 villages across three counties of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,focusing on the standard effluent effect(0.3773),low investment cost(0.3196),and high standard effluent effect(0.5115)to determine the best treatment process for the same emission standard under different needs.The annual environmental and carbon emission benefits of sewage treatment in these villages were estimated.This model matches village density,geographic feature,and social development level,and provides scientific support and a theoretical basis for rural sewage treatment decision-making.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of direct-acting antivirals(DAAs)in patients with chronic hepatitis C,assess changes in liver function and hepatic fibrosis following treatment,and identify independent predictors of treatment failure.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included patients who received DAA therapy at Hospital Kuala Lumpur between January 2020 and December 2023.Sustained virologic response(SVR)was assessed at least 12 weeks post-treatment by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction for hepatitis C virus(HCV)RNA.Demographic,clinical,and laboratory data were collected and analyzed.Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of treatment failure.Results:A total of 335 patients in the study.The overall SVR rate was 89%.After achieving SVR,significant improvements were observed in liver enzyme levels and non-invasive liver fibrosis scores,whereas the overall Model for End-Stage Liver Disease(MELD)scores remained unchanged.Significant independent predictors of treatment failure included non-compliance with DAA therapy[adjusted odds ratio(aOR)68.3;95%confidence interval(95%CI)16.3-285.0;P<0.001],treatment with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir(aOR 6.1;95%CI 1.4-26.5;P=0.015),MELD score of 10-15(aOR 4.6;95%CI 1.1-18.2;P=0.031),HCV genotype 3 infection(aOR 4.5;95%CI 1.1-17.6;P=0.031),and elevated serum total bilirubin level(aOR 1.1;95%CI 1.0-1.1;P=0.003).Conclusions:DAA therapy yielded a high SVR rate,and treatment failure was strongly associated with non-adherence to therapy and advanced liver disease.These findings underscore the necessity of adherence support,early diagnosis,and individualized clinical management to optimize treatment outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

文摘Laser welding is a highly promising joining method for Al alloys.However,certain limitations such as elevated thermal input and keyhole instability are associated with its application in medium-thickness aluminium alloy plates.To address these issues,circular oscillating laser welding combined with post-weld heat treatment was employed to improve the formation quality and mechanical properties of the welds.The effects of the frequency of circular oscillating laser on the forming quality,microstructure,and properties of the welds were analyzed.At an oscillation frequency of 200 Hz,the grain size in the weld zone was reduced compared to single laser welding,and the maximum tensile strength of the weld was observed to reach(264.96±1.33)MPa,representing approximately 61.19%of the base metal.Following the post-weld heat treatment of"solid solution and artificial aging",the grain boundary segregation was diminished.Nanoscale precipitated phases are present in the weld zone.Furthermore,the tensile strength was augmented to(386.35±5.65)MPa,representing approximately 89.23%of the strength of the base metal.The results of this study can provide a theoretical basis and technological reference for the circular oscillating laser welding of medium-thickness 2219-T 6 aluminium alloy plates.

文摘Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is linked to memory formation in the adult brain,with new neurons in the hippocampus exhibiting greater plasticity during their immature stages compared to mature neurons.Abnormal adult hippocampal neurogenesis is closely associated with cognitive impairment in central nervous system diseases.Targeting and regulating adult hippocampal neurogenesis have been shown to improve cognitive deficits.This review aims to expand the current understanding and prospects of targeting neurogenesis in the treatment of cognitive impairment.Recent research indicates the presence of abnormalities in AHN in several diseases associated with cognitive impairment,including cerebrovascular diseases,Alzheimer's disease,aging-related conditions,and issues related to anesthesia and surgery.The role of these abnormalities in the cognitive deficits caused by these diseases has been widely recognized,and targeting AHN is considered a promising approach for treating cognitive impairment.However,the underlying mechanisms of this role are not yet fully understood,and the effectiveness of targeting abnormal adult hippocampal neurogenesis for treatment remains limited,with a need for further development of treatment methods and detection techniques.By reviewing recent studies,we classify the potential mechanisms of adult hippocampal neurogenesis abnormalities into four categories:immunity,energy metabolism,aging,and pathological states.In immunity-related mechanisms,abnormalities in meningeal,brain,and peripheral immunity can disrupt normal adult hippocampal neurogenesis.Lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function disorders are significant energy metabolism factors that lead to abnormal adult hippocampal neurogenesis.During aging,the inflammatory state of the neurogenic niche and the expression of aging-related microRNAs contribute to reduced adult hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive impairment in older adult patients.Pathological states of the body and emotional disorders may also result in abnormal adult hippocampal neurogenesis.Among the current strategies used to enhance this form of neurogenesis,physical therapies such as exercise,transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation,and enriched environments have proven effective.Dietary interventions,including energy intake restriction and nutrient optimization,have shown efficacy in both basic research and clinical trials.However,drug treatments,such as antidepressants and stem cell therapy,are primarily reported in basic research,with limited clinical application.The relationship between abnormal adult hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive impairment has garnered widespread attention,and targeting the former may be an important strategy for treating the latter.However,the mechanisms underlying abnormal adult hippocampal neurogenesis remain unclear,and treatments are lacking.This highlights the need for greater focus on translating research findings into clinical practice.

文摘Mitophagy is closely associated with the pathogenesis of secondary spinal cord injury.Abnormal mitophagy may contribute significantly to secondary spinal cord injury,leading to the impaired production of adenosine triphosphate,ion imbalance,the excessive production of reactive oxygen species,neuroinflammation,and neuronal cell death.Therefore,maintaining an appropriate balance of mitophagy is crucial when treating spinal cord injury,as both excessive and insufficient mitophagy can impede recovery.In this review,we summarize the pathological changes associated with spinal cord injury,the mechanisms of mitophagy,and the direct and indirect relationships between mitophagy and spinal cord injury.We also consider therapeutic approaches that target mitophagy for the treatment of spinal cord injury,including ongoing clinical trials and other innovative therapies,such as use of stem cells,nanomaterials,and small molecule polymers.Finally,we highlight the current challenges facing this field and suggest potential directions for future research.The aim of our review is to provide a theoretical reference for future studies targeting mitophagy in the treatment of spinal cord injury.
