Uterine positioning during hysterotomy repair is controversial, with both in situ and externalized approaches commonly performed. Despite many published trials, clinical equipoise remains. This meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA) summarizes studies comparing both techniques.

A systemic search for randomized controlled trials comparing in situ with externalized hysterotomy repair during cesarean delivery was performed. The primary outcomes were estimated blood loss (EBL) and surgical duration. Secondary outcomes were need for blood transfusion, incidence of endometritis, hospital length of stay, intra-operative hypotension, return of bowel function, intra-operative vomiting, intra-operative pain, and need for postoperative analgesia. Cochrane methodology was used to assess risk of bias. Data are presented as mean difference/standardized mean difference or odds ratio/risk difference with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Nineteen studies enrolling 20 739 patients were included. VBIT-12 solubility dmso Estimated blood ing a potentially inconclusive result. In situ repair may be associated with less breakthrough postoperative analgesia requirement and faster return of bowel function.The prostaglandin (PG) transporter SLCO2A1 regulates PGE2 signaling and interacts with many drugs, and SLCO2A1 defects is associated with PG metabolic disorders. This study aimed to characterize a non-metabolic phenolsulfonphthalein (PSP) transport mediated by SLCO2A1. PSP uptake by HEK293 cells expressing human SLCO2A1 (HEK/2A1 cells) was pH-independent and saturable with a Km value of 54.5 ± 9.5 μM PGE2 competitively inhibited PSP uptake with a Ki of 257.3 ± 22.8 nM. When PSP was intravenously (i.v.) injected, concentration-time curve showed a biphasic response. In Slco2a1-deficient (-/-) mice, AUCinf tented to decrease and the central distribution volume (V1) significantly increased, compared to wild-type (wt) counterparts. Intriguingly, Slco2a1-deficiency significantly reduced a ratio of tissue-to-plasma concentration in the lungs at 15 min after i.v. injection, suggesting that SLCO2A1 limits tissue distribution of PSP. In conclusion, these results prove that PSP is a potential surrogate for monitoring SLCO2A1 function, providing a new concept for diagnostics for the genetic diseases caused by defects in SLCO2A1 gene.This study aimed to clarify the application possibility of the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology on the fabrication of jigs for a flexural test of dental composite resins (CRs). Three types of jigs were prepared to carry out three-point bending tests; 3D printed jig including support rollers, 3D printed jig with stainless-steel support rollers, and stainless-steel jig and stainless-steel support rollers. An FDM 3D printer with polylactic acid filament was used to produce 3D printed jigs. For evaluation of flexural strength, two types, packable and flowable, of composite resins were selected to prepare specimens. Three-point bending tests were performed using a universal testing machine. Then flexural strength and flexural elastic modulus were calculated. Specimen preparation and three-point bending test were conducted according to the ISO 40492019. All experiments were repeated 20 times. Flexural strength and flexural elastic modulus of packable CR were significantly larger than those of flowable. However, there were no significant differences among the jigs in both results. Consequently, FDM technology could be applied to fabricate jigs for the flexural test of CRs, and the mechanical properties could be evaluated as accurately as a stainless-steel jig.Water is the most abundant component in fresh fruit and vegetables and its distribution and hydrogen bonding state in cells has a significant influence on food processing. In the current study, an improved method based on our earlier studies was developed to directly visualize the spatial distribution of content and hydrogen bonding state of water in apple and potato cells for the first time and the difference in water distribution in these cells was compared. Additionally, based on the distribution images of content and hydrogen bonding state of water in different regions in apple and potato tissues, the total water and free water contents, and the hydrogen bonding state of free water were quantified and compared with those obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance and Marinchik methods, demonstrating that the method could be successfully used for quantifying the content and hydrogen bonding state of water in fruit and vegetable cells.This study aimed to examine the effects of sugarcane polyphenol and fiber (Phytolin + Fiber) on gut microbiota, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production and phenolic metabolites production using in vitro digestion and fermentation model. Microbial profiling by 16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyze the pig faecal microbiota profile. SCFAs were identified and quantified by GC-FID, and phenolic metabolites were characterized by LC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS. The results showed that Phytolin + Fiber exert synergistic effects on the pig gut microbiota by increasing the relative abundances of Lactobacillus and Catenibacterium, and decreasing the relative abundances of Mogibacterium, Dialister, and Escherichia-Shigella. Phytolin + Fiber also significantly increased the total SCFAs production, particularly the propionic and butyric acids. Production of phenolic metabolites related to major polyphenols in Phytolin were tentatively identified. These results suggest that Phytolin + Fiber could be beneficial to human colon health given the similarities between pig and human intestine in terms of physiology and microbiome.Natural polyacetylenes occur in food and herbal plants, have a wide range of bioactivities, and are recognized as important nutraceuticals. Stipuol is a natural polyacetylene present in the edible plant Panax notoginseng. The present study was aimed to study interactions of rac-stipuol and its enantiomers with human serum albumin (HSA) using multi-spectroscopic, molecular modeling and microscale thermophoresis. Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence spectra manifest that the fluorescence quenching mechanism is mainly static in type. The bindings of (S)-stipuol, (R)-stipuol, rac-stipuol lead to some microenvironmental and slight conformational changes of HSA. Competitive ligand displacement experiments and molecular modeling studies revealed that stipuol enantiomers bind to HSA at subdomain III (site IIA). The calculated values of Ka and Kd showed that (R)-stipuol had a stronger binding affinity than (S)-stipuol. The results are informative for use of stipuol as a nutraceutical to improve human health.Foods contaminated with hazardous compounds, could pose potential risks for human health. To date, there is still a big challenge in accurate identification. In this study, a novel data-dependent acquisition (DDA) approach, based on a combination of inclusion list and exclusion list, was proposed to acquire more effective MS/MS spectra. This strategy was successfully applied in a large-scale screening survey to detect 50 mycotoxins in oats, 155 veterinary drugs in dairy milk, and 200 pesticides in tomatoes. Compared with traditional acquisition modes, this new strategy has higher detection rate, particularly at ultra-low concentration by eliminating background influence, thereby generating the MS/MS spectra for more potential hazardous materials instead of matrix interference. Additionally, the obtained MS/MS spectra are simpler and more likely to be traced back than DIA. Moreover, this new strategy would be more comprehensively applied in food safety monitoring with the improvement of HRMS and post-acquisition techniques.Pea proteins have gained significant interest in recent years. The objective of this study was to enhance pea protein functional properties through enzymatic and/or conjugation modifications and understand the physicochemical properties of the modified proteins. Molecular changes of the proteins were characterized, and protein functionality, in vitro digestibility, and sensory properties were analyzed. The proteins crosslinked with transglutaminase showed significantly improved water holding capacity (5.2-5.6 g/g protein) compared with the control pea protein isolate (2.8 g/g). The pea proteins conjugated with guar gum showed exceptional emulsifying capacity (EC) and stability (ES) of up to 100% compared with the control protein (EC of 58% and ES of 48%). Some sequentially modified pea proteins, such as transglutaminase crosslinking followed by guar gum conjugation had multiple functional enhancement (water holding, oil holding, emulsifying, and gelation). The functionally enhanced pea proteins had comparable sensory scores as the control protein.Red wine is a very complex medium in which condensed tannins undergo many modifications during winemaking and bottle ageing. These reactions have an impact on the organoleptic properties. This work aimed to highlight tannins evolution related to wine evolution by studying three vintages of Syrah wines. An accelerated oxidation was also undertaken in order to evaluate the ability of this oxidation to imitate natural evolution. After chemical depolymerization of the tannins, the monitoring of 6 types of markers at two oxidation levels was investigated. An evolution of the tannin oxidation state during ageing evidenced by the increase of the markers of the second oxidation level was observed. In the 2018 oxidized wine sample, the first oxidation level markers were similar to the 2014 vintage but the second oxidation level markers were higher than other vintages, indicating a more advanced state of tannin oxidation.Inspired by the salt-in effect, the potential use of protein-glutaminase (PG) to increase the intrinsic charges of chicken breast myofibrillar proteins (CMPs) for enhanced water solubility was tested. The degree of deamidation (DD) and solubility of CMPs increased with PG reaction time. Over 60% of CMPs were soluble in water under a DD of 6.5% due to specific conversion of glutamine to glutamic acid. PG deamidation could remarkably increase the net charge of CMPs with a merit in maintaining most of the amino acid and protein subunit compositions. Such a high electrostatic repulsion exerted a transformation of β-sheet into α-helix, unfolded the structure to expose hydrophobic residues, and allowed the dissociation of myofibril and release of subunits (myosin, actin or their oligomers), leading to a stable colloidal state. This work may foster the engineering advances of protein micro-modification in the tailor manufacture of muscle protein-based beverages.Glycerol core aldehydes (GCAs) are toxins widely formed in oils at high temperature. This study investigated the effects of frying time, temperature, and Fe3+ content on the GCAs formation in high-oleic sunflower oil. The results showed that the GCAs (8-oxo, 9-oxo, 10-oxo-8, 11-oxo-9) concentrations increased with time following the pseudo-first-order kinetics. Frying at 160 °C without Fe3+ and at 180 °C with 0.0005 mol·L-1 Fe3+ yielded the lowest and highest total GCA content. The concentrations of GCAs (8-oxo) and GCAs (9-oxo) or GCAs (10-oxo-8) and GCAs (11-oxo-9) changed similarly with different frying temperature and Fe3+ concentration. The major GCAs was GCAs (9-oxo) (40-70%), which also had the highest formation rate (5.42 × 10-4 mg·g-1·h-1). However, GCA (10-oxo-8) and GCAs (11-oxo-9) with similar proportion (ca. 10-20%) and GCAs (8-oxo) made up the least proportions ( less then 10%).
