The phenolic compounds of 'Green Gage' (GG) plums ( Prunus domestica L.), "Rainha Claudia Verde", from a 'protected designation of origin' (PDO), in Portugal, were quantified in both flesh and skin tissues of plums collected in two different orchards (GG-V and GG-C). Analyzes of phenolic compounds were also performed on another GG European plum obtained in France (GG-F) and two other French plu...

Gellan gum (GG) has been used to prepare polymeric carriers with prolonged retention on the eye surface for topical ocular drug delivery. In this work, GG was chemically modified short poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) chains that were expected have minimal adhesion mucosal tissues (mucoadhesion). The choice of synthetic procedure, solvents, and reagents dictated by biocompatibility materials p...

We study the double-gluon hybrid states with quark-gluon contents $\bar q gg$ ($q=u/d$) and s gg$. construct twelve currents various quantum numbers, five of which are found to be zero due some internal symmetries between two gluon fields. use rest seven perform QCD sum rule analyses. Especially, masses exotic number $J^{PC} = 2^{+-}$ calculated $M_{|\bar gg;2^{+-}\rangle} 2.26^{+0.20}_{-0.25}$...

Abstract Trichlorotrifluoroethane (C 2 Cl 3 F , CFC-113) is a long-lived ozone-depleting substance (ODS) regulated under the Montreal Protocol and potent greenhouse gas (GHG). Production consumption of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were phased out after 2007 in China, while unexpected increases CCl (CFC-11) emissions from eastern China 2012 inferred atmospheric observations. However, concentration...

We justify the feasibility of substituting a photon leg by a neutrino current in the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian to obtain an effective Lagrangian for the process gn→ggn and its crossed reactions. We establish the link between these processes and the four-photon scattering in both the standard model and the effective theory. As an application, we compute the processes gn→ggn and gg→gnn̄ , give t...

Abstract One million cases of skin wounds, either closed or open necessitate wound treatments to improve the quality life. In this study, gellan gum biopolymer (Ag@TiO 2 NRs/GG) hydrogel film with Ag loaded TiO nanorods was fabricated for healing dressing. The performance Ag@TiO WR/GG tested in vitro and vivo investigate its ability regenerate tissue. FTIR, XRD, SEM were used examine physical c...

Variants of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) generated by virus passage in GMK-AH1 cells in the presence of the sulfated oligosaccharide PI-88 were analyzed. Many of these variants were substantially resistant to PI-88 in their initial infection of cells and/or their cell-to-cell spread. The major alteration detected in all variants resistant to PI-88 in the initial infection of cells was a ...

Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a multifunctional cytokine which plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of cancer. To date, several studies have investigated associations between IL-17A -197G>A (rs2275913) polymorphism and digestive cancer risk, but the results remain conflicting. We here aimed to confirm the role of this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in susceptibility to dig...

In this paper, we propose a novel mixed-effects model for longitudinal changes of systolic blood pressure (SBP) over time that can estimate the joint effect of multiple sequence variants on SBP after accounting for familial correlation and the time dependencies within individuals. First we carried out agenome-wide association study (GWAS) using chromosome 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)...

OBJECTIVE Discordances between HbA1c and other measures of glycemic control are common in clinical practice and remain unexplained. We developed a measure of discordance between HbA1c and fructosamine (FA) (glycosylated serum proteins) to conduct a systematic evaluation. We termed this the glycosylation gap (GG) and sought to determine its relationship to diabetic nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN...
