Effects Of Glycosylation Combined With Tannic Acid Modification On The Emulsification Properties Of Molten Globule Egg White Protein, Wan Jun, Zhang Xiaoqin, Deng Bowen, Ai Minmin, Xie Zhequan

Food and Machinery

［Objective］ This study aimed to develop a modification method to stabilize emulsions using molten -globule state egg white protein (MGEWP ).［Methods］ MGEWP was prepared through partial denaturation of egg white protein via pH induction.The synergistic effects of D-xylose and tannic acid on the emulsifying properties of MGEWP were analyzed.［Results］］ Increasing tannic acid concentration significantly elevated the turbidity and browning degree of D-xylose glycosylated MGEWP (X-MGEWP ) (P<0.05).Tannic acid facilitated the unfolding of X -MGEWP,exposing free sulfhydryl and active groups,which enhanced molecular flexibility,apparent viscosity,storage modulus and loss modulus (P<0.05).However,under extreme pH value treatment,the active groups of MGEWP were passivated,inhibiting the Maillard reaction with D-xylose.As a result,there was no significant difference in emulsification properties between glycosylated X -MGEWP and untreated MGEWP (P>0.05).The addition of tannic acid enhanced the emulsifying activity of X -MGEWP obviously (P<0.05),and it was dose -dependent with tannic acid concentration.［Conclusion］ The synergistic modification of MGEWP with D-xylose/tannic acid represents a promising method for enhancing the emulsifying properties of MGEWP,offering potential applications in emulsion stabilization.

Allostatic Load And Incident Dementia Among Older Adults In The United States, Mohammed Usman Kabeto

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Allostatic load (AL), the cumulative physiological burden of chronic stress, is a significant health problem, and it has been associated with adverse health outcomes, including cognitive functioning. There is a paucity of literature examining associations between AL and incident dementia in the United States. This quantitative study used data from the United States Health and Retirement Study cohort (2016-2020) to examine the association between AL quartile and incident dementia among participants who were aged 56 and older at baseline.

Soil Contamination By Environmentally Persistent Free Radicals And Dioxins Following Train Derailment In East Palestine, Oh, Myron L. Lard, Sarah E. Eichler, Peng Gao, Kuldeep Singh, Joseph D. Ortiz, Robert L. Cook, Slawomir Lomnicki, Stephania A. Cormier, Jennifer Richmond-Bryant

Division of Basic Science Faculty Publications

The Norfolk Southern train derailment on February 3, 2023, in East Palestine, Ohio, prompted concerns about the health impacts from the chemical spills and open-air combustion. We hypothesize that the combustion of chemicals, including vinyl chloride, in the presence of transition-metal oxides from the train, tracks, and soil minerals were conducive to the formation of hazardous byproducts including environmentally persistent free radicals (EPFRs), dioxins, and furans. We also hypothesize that these harmful byproducts of combustion have a shared origin and thus will have elevated concentrations in soil samples collected close to the derailment site when compared to concentrations in background …

Multiple myeloma is a clonal plasma cell (PC) dyscrasia that arises from precursors and has been studied utilizing approaches focused on CD138+ cells. By combining single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) with scB-cell receptor sequencing (scBCR-seq), we differentiate monoclonal/neoplastic from polyclonal/normal PCs and find more dysregulated genes, especially in precursor patients, than we would have by analyzing bulk PCs. To determine whether this approach can identify oncogenes that contribute to disease pathobiology, mitotic arrest deficient-2 like-1 (MAD2L1) and S-adenosylmethionine synthase isoform type-2 (MAT2A) are validated as targets with drug-like molecules that suppress myeloma growth in preclinical models. Moreover, functional studies show a …

Approximately 30% of patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) undergo transformation to a chemo-refractory blastic phase (BP-CMML). Seeking novel therapeutic approaches, we profiled blast transcriptomes from 42 BP-CMMLs, observing extensive transcriptional heterogeneity and poor alignment to current acute myeloid leukemia (AML) classifications. BP-CMMLs display distinctive transcriptomic profiles, including enrichment for quiescence and variability in drug response signatures. Integrating clinical, immunophenotype, and transcriptome parameters, Random Forest unsupervised clustering distinguishes immature and mature subtypes characterized by differential expression of transcriptional modules, oncogenes, apoptotic regulators, and patterns of surface marker expression. Subtypes differ in predicted response to AML drugs, validated ex vivo in …

Lynch syndrome (LS), caused by inherited mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes, including MSH2, carries a 60% lifetime risk of developing endometrial cancer (EC). Beyond hypermutability, mechanisms driving LS-associated EC (LS-EC) remain unclear. We investigated MSH2 loss in EC pathogenesis using a mouse model (PR-Cre Msh2LoxP/LoxP, abbreviated Msh2KO), primary cell lines, human tissues, and human EC cells with isogenic MSH2 knockdown. By 8 months, 58% of Msh2KO mice developed endometrial atypical hyperplasia (AH), a precancerous lesion. At 12-16 months, 50% of Msh2KO mice exhibited either AH or ECs with histologic similarities to human LS-ECs. Transcriptomic profiling of EC from Msh2KO …

Natural And Bioengineered Extracellular Vesicles In Diagnosis, Monitoring And Treatment Of Cancer, Xin Luo, Kathleen M Mcandrews, Raghu Kalluri

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell derived nanovesicles which are implicated in both physiological and pathological intercellular communication, including the initiation, progression, and metastasis of cancer. The exchange of biomolecules between stromal cells and cancer cells via EVs can provide a window to monitor cancer development in real time for better diagnostic and interventional strategies. In addition, the process of secretion and internalization of EVs by stromal and cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) can be exploited for delivering therapeutics. EVs have the potential to provide a targeted, biocompatible, and efficient delivery platform for the treatment of cancer and other …
