Effect Of Electron Beam Irradiation On Storage Of Areca Taro, Sun Da-Yang, Shang Fei-Fei, Pan Zhong-Tian, Xie Yu-Hua, Liu Yan, Deng Chun-Li, Song Mu-Bo, Duan Zhen-Hua

Food and Machinery

In this study, the areca taro was treated by high energy electron beam with irradiation dose of 0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7, and 1.0 kGy. The effects of different irradiation doses on areca taro storage and antioxidant enzymes were studied. The results showed that low-dose electron beam irradiation could significantly reduce the decay rate of areca taro and better control the germination, and had little effect on the hardness, color and sensory quality. Meanwhile, they could maintain the activities of peroxidase, glutathione reductase and catalase. Among them, 0.1~0.5 kGy could be used as a suitable dose for irradiation storage of areca taro.

Food and Machinery

Aimed at the problem of incomplete discharge and sprinkling of powder material packaging machine during high-speed packaging, the geneva mechanism with curved groove was applied to automatic packaging machine to realize variable-speed feeding. This mechanism could run at lower speed in unloading area and at higher speed in non-unloading area. Using the relationship of Pro/E software, the 3D parameterized model of the feeding device was established. The results showed that the maximum packaging speed of variable speed feeding could be increased by 35.6%, and the geneva mechanism with curved groove was suitable for higher speed packing.

Inhibitory Effect Of Eugenol On Providence Vermicola In Aquatic Products, Tursunay Turgun, Fan Wang, Long-Long Fu, Nurgul Rahman, Xiao-Li Liu

Food and Machinery

The inhibitory activity of eugenol was evaluated on Providence vermicola, which is a strain isolated from spoiled spicy crab product. The results showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.25 mg/mL. Compared with the control group, the cells of P. vermicola treated with MIC eugenol were severely deformed, and wrinkles appeared. The cell wall of P. vermicola treated with eugenol was destroyed, leading to the leakage of intracellular substances and higher extracellular soluble protein content. The enzyme activities of malic acid dehydrogenase (MDH) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) were reduced by 33.01% and 19.81%, respectively. The normal metabolic system …

Mitigation Of Salmonella On Food Contact Surfaces By Using Organic Acid Mixtures Containing 2-Hydroxy-4-(Methylthio) Butanoic Acid (Hmtba), Aiswariya Deliephan, Janak Dhakal, Bhadriraju Subramanyam, Charles G. Aldrich

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Contaminated surfaces can transmit pathogens to food in industrial and domestic food-handling environments. Exposure to pathogens on food contact surfaces may take place via the cross-contamination of pathogens during postprocessing activities. Formaldehyde-based commercial sanitizers in recent years are less commonly being used within food manufacturing facilities due to consumer perception and labeling concerns. There is interest in investigating clean-label, food-safe components for use on food contact surfaces to mitigate contamination from pathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella. In this study, the antimicrobial effects of two types of organic acid mixtures containing 2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid (HMTBa), Activate DA™ and Activate US WD-MAX™, …

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and associated increase in family care responsibilities resulted in unsustainable personal and professional workloads for infectious diseases (ID) faculty on the front lines. This was especially true for early-stage faculty (ESF), many of whom had caregiving responsibilities. In addition, female faculty, underrepresented in medicine and science faculty and particularly ESF, experienced marked declines in research productivity, which significantly impacts career trajectories. When combined with staffing shortages due to an aging workforce and suboptimal recruitment and retention in ID, these work-life imbalances have brought the field to an inflection point. We propose actionable recommendations and …

Improved Survival After Liver Transplantation For Patients With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (Hiv) And Hiv/Hepatitis C Virus Coinfection In The Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor And Direct-Acting Antiviral Eras, Nicole E Rich, Jihane N Benhammou, Aijaz Ahmed, Donghee Kim, Abbas Rana, John A Goss, Susanna Naggie, Tzu-Hao Lee, Fasiha Kanwal, George Cholankeril

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

BACKGROUND: People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with and without hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection had poor outcomes after liver transplant (LT). Integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs) and direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have changed the treatment landscape for HIV and HCV, respectively, but their impact on LT outcomes remains unclear.

METHODS: This retrospective analysis of adults with HIV monoinfection (n = 246) and HIV/HCV coinfection (n = 286) who received LT compared mortality in patients with HIV who received LT before versus after approval of INSTIs and in patients with HIV/HCV coinfection who received LT before versus after approval of DAAs. …

Efficacy And Safety Of Cardioprotective Drugs In Chemotherapy-Induced Cardiotoxicity: An Updated Systematic Review & Network Meta-Analysis, Ali Mir, Yasra Badi, Seif Bugazia, Anas Zakarya Nourelden, Ahmed Hashem Fathallah, Khaled Mohamed Ragab, Mohammed Alsillak, Sarah Makram Elsayed, Abdulrahman Ibrahim Hagrass, Sawyer Bawek, Mohamad Kalot, Zachary L. Brumberger

Internal Medicine Articles

BACKGROUND: Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy have an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. This limits the widespread use of lifesaving therapies, often necessitating alternate lower efficacy regimens, or precluding chemotherapy entirely. Prior studies have suggested that using common cardioprotective agents may attenuate chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. However, small sample sizes and conflicting outcomes have limited the clinical significance of these results.

HYPOTHESIS: A comprehensive network meta-analysis using updated and high-quality data can provide more conclusive information to assess which drug or drug class has the most significant effect in the management of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity.

METHODS: We performed a literature search for randomized controlled …

Resilience And Mental Health In College Students, Indyah Ferrouillet, Bemsimbom Nkuo, Daniel Ceccoli, Patrick J. Cooper

Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations

Research suggests a moderate incidence of depression, anxiety, and especially stress among college students (Ramon-Arbues et al., 2020). It is reasonable to believe that these mental health outcomes might be inversely correlated with resilience, the ability to adapt to new challenges.

In this study, we hypothesize an inverse correlation between resilience (as measured by the selfreported BRS-6) and stress, anxiety, and depression (as measured by the DASS-21). In other words, college students who feel resilient will experience greater mental health and wellness.

To replicate previous research that suggests these effects in females only (Ahmed & Julius, 2015), biological sex differences …

In this study, the in vitro digestion model was used for investigating the impacts of the application of Mono-, Di-glyceride (MDG) and phospholipid (PL) in the infant formula model emulsions on the bioaccessibility of lipophilic nutrients (vitamin D, carotenoids) contained in the formula. The addition of MDG/PL were found to significantly facilitate the micellization of lipophilic nutrients contained in the infant formula-based emulsion system at the simulated small intestine stage and led the digestion behavior more similar to human breast milk. The higher micellization rate resulted in higher absorption efficiency and higher bioavailability of liphophilic nutrients in the infant formula. …
