The development of green vegetable processing is still limited by the imperfect green protection now. Chlorophyll (Chl), the main pigment presented in green vegetables, was studied that the effects of NaCl on the stability of it, and the synergy of NaCl and high-pressure on Chl protection. Compared to the control, the retention of Chl was increased by 80.14% and the activation energy was 62.7% higher in 7.8% NaCl solution. When the pressure was 600 MPa with 7.8% NaCl, the synergy of NaCl and high-pressure increased the Chl retention by 100%. The restriction of NaCl to H2O provided Chl with a lower polarity environment and increased the contact between Chl molecules. And the fluorescence quenching confirmed the aggregation of Chls induced by high-pressure. This study explains the mechanism of green protection by NaCl and high-pressure, broadening the horizon for the development of color protection in vegetable processing.Monofloral safflower honey (MSH), produced from nectar of the medicinal Carthamus tinctorius L., has been shown with excellent nutritional value and biological activity. However, current MSH authenticity verification is insufficient. Herein, we fully characterized MSH from a metabolomic perspective and proposed a chemical marker for its authentication. Epacadostat Using palynological analysis, we confirmed the botanical origin of MSH. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS) was applied further to compare MSH/safflower components. MSH and safflowers shared 1297 tentatively identified compounds, of which safflomin A was identified as a reliable characteristic indicator. When applied to commercial non-safflower honeys, none tested safflomin A positive. Solid phase extraction coupled UHPLC/Q-TOF-MS method revealed the LOD and LOQ of safflomin A in MSH to be 0.006 and 0.02 mg/kg, respectively, with concentrations ranging from 0.86 to 3.91 mg/kg. Collectively, safflomin A can be applied as a chemical marker for fingerprinting the botanical origin of safflower honey.

Individual pharmacokinetic (PK) profiling in hemophilia A (HA) helps to individualize prophylaxis using population PK models (popPK). A specific popPK model for plasma-derived factor VIII containing von-Willebrand Factor (pdFVIII/VWF) was developed.

To compare standard versus PK-driven prophylaxis, using a generic or a specific popPK model for pdFVIII/VWF.

A prospective study conducted in HA patients in prophylaxis with pdFVIII/VWF (Fanhdi®) comparing three one-year study periods (1) standard prophylaxis, (2) PK-guided prophylaxis using a generic pdFVIII popPK model which described FVIII activity irrespective of FVIII concentrate, and (3) PK-guided prophylaxis with specific pdFVIII/VWF popPK model. PK parameters analyzed were half-life, trough levels (TL) at 24, 48 and 72h, and time to reach FVIII levels of 1, 2, 5% (T5%). Clinical outcomes were dose/kg, FVIII consumption, annualized bleeding rate (ABR), annualized joint bleeding rate (AJBR), spontaneous and traumatic bleeds.

Of the 30 analyzed patients, 28 had severe HA and the median age was 31.2. Fifteen patient's prophylaxis doses were PK-adjusted. After the generic PK-guided prophylaxis period, younger patients showed more joint bleeds, a shorter half-life, and lower TL48, TL72 and T5%. Using the specific pdFVIII/VWF popPK model compared with standard prophylaxis, a lower spontaneous AJBR was observed in the entire cohort and in patients aged >15years. Additionally, lower spontaneous ABR was reported in patients aged ≤15years comparing specific and generic models.

PK-guided prophylaxis with a specific pdFVIII/VWF popPK model allowed treatment individualization and improved bleeding control in routine clinical practice, especially in younger patients with short pdFVIII/VWF half-lives.

Coagulation and inflammatory parameters are mildly altered in children with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection, and laboratory evidence of a proinflammatory and procoagulant state has been noted in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). It is not clear whether this pediatric condition is related to thrombotic events. With this study we reviewed the literature for thrombotic complications in children with COVID-19 infection and MIS-C.

We searched the Medline PubMed Advanced Search Builder, Scopus, Web Of Science, and Google Scholar electronic databases (until 1 January 2021) using the medical subject headings (MeSH) terms and text words (their combinations and truncated synonyms) (THROMBOSIS OR THROMBOPHILIA) AND (CHILD OR CHILDREN OR INFANT) AND (COVID-19 OR SARS-CoV-2).

Inclusion criteria were children with COVID-19 or SARS-COV-2 infection. The search was limited to articles published in English. Exclusion criteria were reviews of published studies, studies published only as abstracts, leta high index of suspicion should be maintained in children with COVID-19 infection or MIS-C, particularly in those with comorbidities predisposing to thrombotic events.Congenital deficiency of tracheal rings in the cervical trachea is a rare anomaly and only one case has previously been reported in the literature (Wineland et al., 2017) [1]. Here we report a case in a newborn female transferred to our department at 11 weeks of age for management of stridor. The patent was successfully treated with a tracheal resection with an end to end anastomosis. Presentation of symptoms, endoscopic findings, surgical approach, histological findings, and literature review are described.

Fully automatic medical image segmentation has been a long pursuit in radiotherapy (RT). Recent developments involving deep learning show promising results yielding consistent and time efficient contours. In order to train and validate these systems, several geometric based metrics, such as Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), Hausdorff, and other related metrics are currently the standard in automated medical image segmentation challenges. However, the relevance of these metrics in RT is questionable. The quality of automated segmentation results needs to reflect clinical relevant treatment outcomes, such as dosimetry and related tumor control and toxicity. In this study, we present results investigating the correlation between popular geometric segmentation metrics and dose parameters for Organs-At-Risk (OAR) in brain tumor patients, and investigate properties that might be predictive for dose changes in brain radiotherapy.

A retrospective database of glioblastoma multiforme patients was stratified for planning difficulty, from which 12 cases were selected and reference sets of OARs and radiation targets were defined.
