The prognostic burn index (PBI) was significantly correlated with PT-INR and APTT. We also found a significant correlation between the serum lactate and the PT-INR, APTT, and PBI.

Acute coagulopathy of burn patients might be present on arrival to the hospital before fluid replacement which is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality.

The erastin-induced ferroptotic cell death appears to be caused by cysteine as well as glutathione depletion. Cysteine is an essential substrate for sulfane sulfur producing systems in cells, generating persulfides that function as intracellular antioxidants and intermediates in iron-sulfur cluster production. Therefore, we examined whether botanical sulfane sulfur donors such as diallyl trisulfide (DATS) and dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) prevent ferroptotic cell death in HT1080 cells treated with erastin. As a result, DMTS (20 μM) and DATS (10 μM) rescued the erastin-treated HT1080 cells by 69.6% and 91.6%, respectively. Furthermore, DMTS-containing squeeze of cabbage (2.0 g/L) and DATS-containing squeeze of garlic (0.07 g/L) rescued the erastin-treated HT1080 cells by 76.5% and almost 100%, respectively. In conclusion, the ingestion of trisulfides may bring about increased resistance to ferroptotic cell death in vivo.This study investigated the correlations of α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), including glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO) and diacetyl (DA), formed in coffee prepared under various roasting and brewing methods. The levels of α-DCs in Brazilian coffee beans (Coffea arabica) ranged from 28.3 to 178 μg/mL. Concentration ranges of GO, MGO and DA were 1.31-6.57, 25.5-159 and 1.50-12.9 μg/mL, respectively. The level of α-DCs increased with high roasting temperature, long roasting time, small coffee bean particles, mineral water and espresso brewing. In correlation analysis, the roasting temperature-time showed strong negative correlations with α-DCs in espresso (-0.886) and cold-brew coffee (-0.957). In espresso coffee, there was a strong negative correlation between the α-DCs and coffee bean particle size (-0.918).The aim was to determine inhibition of human α-amylase activity by (poly)phenols using maltoheptaoside as substrate with direct chromatographic product quantification, compared to hydrolysis of amylose and amylopectin estimated using 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid. Colivelin mouse Acarbose exhibited similar IC50 values (50% inhibition) with maltoheptaoside, amylopectin or amylose as substrates (2.37 ± 0.11, 3.71 ± 0.12 and 2.08 ± 0.01 µM respectively). Epigallocatechin gallate, quercetagetin and punicalagin were weaker inhibitors of hydrolysis of maltoheptaoside ( quercetagetin, with minimal interference using maltoheptaoside as substrate. The main inhibition mechanism of epigallocatechin gallate and punicalagin was through complexation with starch, especially amylose, whereas only quercetagetin additionally binds to the α-amylase active site. Interference is minimised using maltoheptaoside as substrate with product detection by chromatography, potentially allowing assessment of direct enzyme inhibition by almost any compound.Thermally accelerated oxidative degradation of wolfberry pulp was kinetically monitored using model-free and model-based approaches. Kinetic calculations were performed based on simultaneous thermal analysis measurements in an air at four different heating rates. From kinetic analysis, new developed mechanistic scheme which is responsible for wolfberries anti-oxidative behavior was proposed. It was found that thermo-oxidative process proceeds through multiplestep mechanism including sum of two independent reaction sets, via consecutive and competitive steps. It was established that rutoside degradation pathway to flavonol through hydrolysis reaction is rate-determining step of considered process. Furthermore, it was found that key flavonol compound degraded by competitive reactions mechanism forming such kinetic branches, which lead to compounds responsible for wolfberries antioxidant activity. It was established that flavonol oxidative cleavage reaction and oxidative polymerization are main chemical routes which are very important in a complex antioxidant mechanism for scavenging free radicals in wolfberries oxidative stress response.The effect of grilling using three charcoal types (white, black, and extruded charcoal) on the formation of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in three types of meat (beef loin, pork belly, and chicken thigh) was evaluated. Meats were grilled using a standardized technique until an internal temperature of 71-75 °C was reached. The limits of quantitation, relative recoveries, and precisions of the PAH analyses using GC/MS were 0.03-0.31 μg/kg, 73.5-120.5%, and 0.54-5.02%, respectively. Meats grilled using extruded charcoal showed the highest levels of PAHs (p less then 0.0001) among the different charcoals. Additionally, higher levels of 4 PAHs were found in pork belly than beef loin and chicken thigh meat, due to its high fat content (p less then 0.0001). The effects of charcoal and meat types showed a high coefficiency (p less then 0.0001). These results indicated that the combination of white charcoal and low-fat meat could reduce PAHs formation in charcoal-grilled meat.In this study, oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by citrus fiber were prepared and characterized. We found that citrus fiber can produce stable gel-like, surfactant-free O/W emulsions with microscale droplet sizes at fiber concentrations upon 2% (W/V) using 25% (V/V) oil. The interfacial framework, citrus fiber partition between the continuous phase and state of the droplets of emulsions were visualized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), confirming that in addition to Pickering stabilization, the citrus fiber-based network also contributed to stabilization of the emulsions. The citrus fiber-stabilized emulsion is typical non-Newtonian fluid and its interfacial viscosity is not influenced obviously by changing pH from 2 to 10, ionic strength of NaCl from 0.00 to 1.00 mol/L or temperature from -20 to 70 °C. The acquired findings in this study show that citrus fiber can fabricate Pickering emulsions with excellent stability and solve the problem of resource waste during the pectin produce process.
