<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The effects of ultrasound application on the brining kinetics of Chinese cabbage leaves was evaluated at different NaCl concentrations (10, 15, and 20%) of the brine, and its influence on textural properties and salt distribution was also investigated. To identify the effects of these two factors on water and NaCl fluxes, the kinetics of transport was analyzed by taking the diffusion theory into account. The results showed that NaCl concentration and ultrasound application significantly affected moisture and NaCl transport. Based on Fick’s equation, the NaCl effective diffusivities were enhanced upon ultrasound application during the brining process, increasing from 147.09 to 812.22%. With regard to the textural properties, a higher content of NaCl resulted in lower textural profile values. Moreover, ultrasound application significantly increased the cabbage hardness. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray mapping images showed the intensification of NaCl transport brought about by ultrasound application and by the increase in NaCl content, which confirms the results of the modeling analysis. Therefore, ultrasound could be a potential technology for accelerating the brining process of cabbage. These results have direct implications for the quality management of kimchi products.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Ultrasound technique was applied to improve the brining rate of Chinese cabbage. </LI> <LI> Mass transfer and salting kinetics were compared at different salting concentrations. </LI> <LI> Ultrasound could significantly increase the salting rate and textural qualities. </LI> <LI> A homogenous distribution of NaCl was observed when ultrasound was applied. </LI> <LI> Ultrasound could be a potential technology for accelerating brining process. </LI> </UL> </P>

Multiple genetic studies have confirmed association of 8q24 variants with susceptibility to prostate cancer (PCa). As PCa risk SNPs may also influence disease outcome, we studied here eight 8q24 risk alleles, and evaluated their role in PCa clinical covariates in northern Chinese men. Blood samples and clinical information were collected from ethnically Chinese men from Northern China with histologically-confirmed PCa (n=289) and from age-matched normal controls (n=288). Eight 8q24 SNPs were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-high- resolution melting analysis in 577 subjects. We examined the prevalence distribution of 8q24 risk alleles and analyzed the associations between the risk allele and PCa and clinical covariates to infer their impact on aggressive PCa. Three of the eight SNPs were associated with PCa risk in northern Chinese men, including rs16901966 (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.01-1.70, p=0.042), rs1447295 (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.09-1.98, p=0.011) and rs10090154 (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.14-2.12, p=0.005). Haplotype analysis based association with the risk alleles revealed significant differences between cases and controls (OR 1.43, 95%CI 0.99-2.06, p=0.049). The risk alleles rs16901966, rs1447295 and rs10090154 were associated with age at diagnosis and tumor stage as compared with controls, while rs16901966 was associated with aggressive PCa (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.01-2.03, p=0.042). The evidence for 8q24 SNPs with PCa risk in northern Chinese men showed rs16901966, rs1447295 and rs10090154 at 8q24 (region 1, region 2) to be strongly associated with PCa and clinical covariates. The three SNPs at 8q24 could be PCa susceptible genetic markers in northern Chinese men.

Previous studies have established that sole probiotics or fibre could be used to relieve colitis. However, few studies evaluated the synergistical effect of fibre and probiotics in treating colitis. This study, examined the effect of alginate, one of the commonest biomaterials and dietary fibre, and/or probiotics on the gut barrier in colitis mice. A synergistical effect was found between alginate and probiotics in colitis. Dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS), a chemical toxic substance, was used to induce colitis model. Body weight, oxidative stress, inflammatory factors, gut barrier, intestinal morphology and the apoptosis of intestine epithelial cells were analyzed. A combination of probiotics and alginate was used to analyze their synergistic effect. The results showed that the combination of alginate and probiotics had a better therapeutic effect on colitis than using them individually, and they protected the gut barrier from DSS induced oxidative stress. The combination exhibited a greater ability in reducing pro-inflammatory factors and protecting the gut barrier from further damage. The synergistic effect of alginate and probiotics provides a great prospect for biotherapy in bowel diseases and oral drug delivery system.

Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) is one of the important members of the antioxidant enzyme family. It can catalyze the reduction of hydroperoxides with glutathione to protect cells against oxidative damage. Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) can be converted into seleniumcontaining single-chain variable fragment (Se-scFv) by chemical modification of the hydroxyl groups in scFv, thus Se-scFv possesses GPX activity and becomes a prodrug. To improve the expression of scFv and simplify its purification steps, Single-protein production (SPP) system was used to express scFv and chemical modification was used to synthesize Se-scFv. Therefore, we must construct a new scFv-WCD1-lessACA gene, which can express its mRNA not containing any ACA sequences and express its amino acid sequence of target protein (scFv) being same to scFv-WCD1. In this way, the scFv-WCD1-lessACA can be only expressed in SPP system and no other background proteins in the cells could be expressed. The expression results showed that high level of scFv-WCD1-lessACA synthesis was at least sustained for 96 h in the virtual absence of background protein synthesis. Then, selenocysteine (Sec) was incorporated into the scFv-WCD1-lessACA by chemical modification and resulted in Se-scFv-WCD1-lessACA. The enzymatic characteristics of Se-scFv-WCD1-lessACA were determined. GPX activity was 2,563 U/μmol,its binding constant for GSH was 0.687 ×105/mol. Moreover,Se-scFv-WCD1-lessACA was confirmed to have a strong antioxidant ability to protect mitochondria against oxidative damage induced by Vc/Fe2+ (mitochondrial damage model),suggesting that Se-scFv-WCD1-lessACA has potential application for protection of mitochondrial damage induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Time-encoded imagers (TEI) are important class of instruments to search for potential radioactive sources to prevent illicit transportation and trafficking of nuclear materials and other radioactive sources. The energy of the radiation cannot be known in advance due to the type and shielding of source is unknown in practice. However, the response function of the time-encoded imagers is related to the energy of neutrons or gamma-rays. An improved image reconstruction method based on MLEM was proposed to correct for the energy induced response difference. In this method, the count vector versus time was first smoothed. Then, the preset response function was adaptively corrected according to the measured counts. Finally, the smoothed count vector and corrected response were used in MLEM to reconstruct the source distribution. A one-dimensional dual-particle time-encode imager was developed and used to verify the improved method through imaging an AmeBe neutron source. The improvement of this method was demonstrated by the image reconstruction results. For gamma-ray and neutron images, the angular resolution improved by 17.2% and 7.0%; the contrast-to-noise ratio improved by 58.7% and 14.9%; the signal-to-noise ratio improved by 36.3% and 11.7%, respectively.

<P>The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of drying temperature (50–70°C) and drying time (3–5 h) on the physical properties and quality of squid-laver snack (SLS) using response surface methodology combined with a synthetic evaluation method to optimize the drying process conditions. Moisture content, water activity, color (<SUP>L⁎</SUP>, <SUP>a⁎</SUP>, <SUP>b⁎</SUP>), shear force, and overall acceptability were evaluated as responses. Increased drying times and higher temperatures significantly reduced the moisture content and water activity of SLS from 9.07% to 4.76% and 0.136 to 0.056, respectively (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the <SUP>L⁎</SUP> and <SUP>a⁎</SUP> values under different drying conditions. The quadratic effect of temperature and time was observed for the <SUP>b⁎</SUP> value and overall acceptability of SLS. For shear force, a quadratic and interaction term for drying temperature and time on shear force was observed. In conclusion, the recommended optimal hot air-drying conditions for SLS are temperature and time of 70°C and 3 h, respectively.</P>

<P>The temporal-spatial structures of plasma flows and turbulence around tearing mode islands are presented. The experiments were performed using Langmuir probe arrays in the edge plasmas of J-TEXT tokamak. The correlation analyses clearly show that the flows have similar structures of <I>m</I>/<I>n</I> = 3/1 as the magnetic island does (<I>m</I> and <I>n</I> are the poloidal and toroidal mode numbers, respectively). The sign of the potential fluctuations for the flows inverses and the powers significantly reduce at <I>q</I> = 3 surface. Approaching to the last closed flux surface for the magnetic islands, the radially elongated flow structure forms. The flows are concentrated near separatrix and show quadrupole structures. The turbulence is concentrated near X-point and partly trapped inside the magnetic islands.</P>
