Fresh mechanically deboned meat (MDM) is usually claimed as high-quality ingredient on dry pet food recipes and this aspect may positively influence consumer choice. It is important to determine the scientifically sustainability of this claim and to assess the microbiological safety of MDM inclusion in dry pet food. Objectives were 1) to evaluate…[Lees meer]

Furthermore, N-PAHs were able to transform to their corresponding O-PAHs, while other derivatives were not. It indicated that N-PAHs are more vulnerable to photooxidation in the environment. 85% of O- and N-PAHs were detected with particle matter below 2.5 μm suggesting their easier bioaccessibility. More than 90% of compounds with four and more…[Lees meer]

DPBF-assays indicated that carbonate and phosphate ions decreased the generation of singlet oxygen of both flavins. Both microorganisms could be easily inactivated by at least one PS with up to 6 log10 steps of cell counts in low ion concentrations. Using the constant radiation exposure of 0.72 J cm-2, the inactivation efficacy decreased somewhat…[Lees meer]

f backs documented the greatest relative distance (73.2 ± 8.0 m·min-1; p = 0.005), with the back three reported to cover the greatest distances walking (1,169 ± 178 m; p = 0.001) and at high-speed distances (353 ± 175 m; p = 0.002). The back three also recorded the greatest mean MV (7.2 ± 0.4 m·s-1; p = 0.000). This is the first study in the North…[Lees meer]

Our findings suggest that FABP4-mediated macrophages may promote proliferation and migration phenotypes in NB cells through deactivating NF-κB-IL1α pathway by ubiquitinating ATPB. This study reveals the pathologic and biologic role of FABP4-mediated macrophages in NB development and exhibits a novel application of targeting FABP4 in macrophages f…[Lees meer]

24, p=0.04).

Dexamethasone therapy was associated with significant reduction of EAT inflammation in COVID-19 patients, whereas SAT showed no changes. Anti-inflammatory therapies targeting visceral fat may be helpful in COVID-19 diseases.

Photo-degradation of organic semiconductors remains as an obstacle preventing their durable practice in optoelectronics. Herein, we disclose that volume-conserving photoisomerization of a unique series of acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) acts as a surrogate towards their subsequent photochemical reaction. Among A-D-A…[Lees meer]
