Published: August 2024

This study aims to develop and characterize cheese whey edible film with egg white addition as an environmentally friendly packaging. Whey, a byproduct of the cheese-making process, is rich in nutrients but has not been optimally utilized. This study uses a randomized block design with 4 treatments: no egg white addition (control), and the addition of 1.5%, 3%, and 4.5% egg white, each with 5 repetitions. The results show that the addition of egg white significantly increases the thickness, solubility time, water vapor transmission rate and protein content (p < 0.05) but has no significant effect on water content (p > 0.05). The thickness of the edible film ranges from 0.149 to 0.242 mm, solubility time from 53 to 109 seconds, water vapor transmission rate from 4.91 to 7.04 g/mm²/day, moisture content from 16.85% to 21.10%, protein content from 4.62% to 9.57%, and elongation from 30.55% to 36.90%. Based on research, adding B (1.5%) to egg whites produces the best treatment. This study demonstrates that the combination of whey and egg white can produce edible films with good physical and chemical characteristics, which can be used as an alternative packaging for food products, reducing plastic usage, and increasing the economic value of whey and egg white as waste products.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
During breast cancer treatment, approximately half of the patients are prescribed psychotropic medication, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Escitalopram oxalate is an SSRI used as an antidepressant.

Objectives
In this study, by creating a breast cancer microenvironment with THP-1, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer co-culture models were created.

Methods
MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and THP-1 cell lines to determine the concentration range of the cytotoxic effect of escitalopram oxalate MTS and MTT test were used. IC50 values were determined by the xCELLigence real-time cell analysis (RTCA) system. Apoptotic activities and cytokine levels were determined by flow cytometry.

Results
In the xCELLigence real-time analysis made according to the results, the IC50 value of escitalopram oxalate was measured as 13.7 μM for MCF-7 and 10.9 μM for MDA-MB-231. The IC50 value was measured as 54.6 μM for MCF-7 and 58.4 μM for MDA-MB-231 in xCELLigence analysis with tamoxifen. According to the MTS test results, the IC50 value of tamoxifen for THP-1 was 92.03 μM and the IC50 value for escitalopram oxalate was 95.32 μM. In the co-culture model, the immunological effects of escitalopram oxalate on MCF-7 cells were 2.8%, 11.1%, 15.6%, 10.6%, and 12.1% for interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α, respectively, while MDA effects on MB-231 cells, respectively, were 2.1%, 15.9%, 16.2%, 8.8%, and 11.8%.

Abstract

Introduction
This study aimed to investigate the potential causal effects of plasma metabolites on skin cancer (SC) risk through a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Skin cancer, including melanoma and non-melanoma types, is a prevalent malignancy worldwide, necessitating the identification of novel biomarkers for early detection and prevention.

Materials and Methods
We utilized genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from 8,299 individuals of European ancestry in the Canadian Longitudinal Study of Aging (CLSA) cohort, encompassing 1,400 metabolites. The analysis also incorporated GWAS data from FinnGen, including 20,951 SC patients and 287,137 controls of European ancestry. The association between metabolites and SC risk was assessed using the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method, complemented by sensitivity analyses such as MR-Egger and MR-PRESSO tests.

Results
The results revealed significant associations between 78 unique metabolites and SC risk. Among these, 42 metabolites were associated with a significant increase in SC risk, while 36 metabolites were linked to a significant reduction in SC risk.

Conclusions
This study highlights novel blood metabolites that are closely related to SC risk, emphasizing their potential importance in prioritizing metabolic features for SC mechanistic research. Further evaluation of these metabolites in SC risk assessment could lead to new insights into SC prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract

Background
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) prostheses have better hemodynamics compared to surgical prostheses, with a lower incidence of prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM). Nonetheless, the effects of PPM have been controversial regarding clinical impact. This study aims to determine the short-term impact of PPM on cardiac function and the effect of PPM on mid-term outcome in patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI with balloon-expandable valves.

Methods
One hundred sixty consecutive patients (76.5±7.4 years, 85 men) were enrolled and examined before and 30 days after TAVI, by comprehensive echocardiogram (speckle tracking echocardiography and strain analysis). Patients were divided according to measured PPM (PPMM) into PPMM group: indexed effective orifice area (EOAi)≤0.85 cm2/m2 (n=64), and No-PPMM group: EOAi>0.85 cm2/m2 (n=96). Predictors and predictive value of PPMM were analyzed based on the primary endpoint, 3-year all-cause mortality.

Results
Impaired LA function was independently associated with PPMM after TAVI (global LA strain - OR 0.92, p = 0.022). Three-year mortality was higher in the PPMM group (23.4% vs. 10.4% in the No-PPMM group, p=0.026).

Conclusions
Our study revealed significantly worse impairment of LA function in patients with PPMM compared to those without PPMM on short-term follow-up, which correlated with 3-year mortality.
