Non-Coding RNA in Schwann Cell and Peripheral Nerve Injury: A Review.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) can result in severe disabilities, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life and potentially endangering their lives. Therefore, understanding the potential molecular mechanisms that facilitate the regeneration of damaged nerves is crucial. Evidence indicates that Schwann cells (SCs) play a pivotal role in repairing peripheral nerve injuries. Previous studies have shown that RNA, particularly non-coding RNA (ncRNA), plays a crucial role in nerve regeneration, including the proliferation and dedifferentiation of SCs. In this review, the individual roles of ncRNA in SCs and PNI are analyzed. This review not only enhances the understanding of ncRNA's role in nerve injury repair but also provides a significant theoretical foundation and inspiration for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Improving the Oxidation Resistance of Phenolic Resin Pyrolytic Carbons by In Situ Catalytic Formation of Carbon Nanofibers via Copper Nitrate.

Phenolic resin pyrolytic carbons were obtained by catalytic pyrolysis of phenolic resin at 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, and 800 °C for 3 h in an argon atmosphere using copper nitrate as a catalyst precursor. The effects of copper salts on the pyrolysis process of phenolic resin as well as the structural evolution and oxidation resistance of phenolic resin pyrolytic carbons were studied. The results showed that copper oxide (CuO) generated from the thermal decomposition of copper nitrate was reduced to copper (Cu) by the gas generated from the thermal decomposition of the phenolic resin. Carbon nanofibers with tapered structures were synthesized by Cu catalysis of pyrolysis gas at 500-800 °C. The catalytic pyrolysis of phenolic resin with Cu increased the graphitization degree and reduced the pore volume of the phenolic resin pyrolytic carbons. The combined action improved the oxidation resistance of phenolic resin pyrolytic carbons.

Tetrachloromaxamycins: Divergent Total Synthesis and Initial Assessments.

Divergent total syntheses of binding pocket and peripherally modified tetrachlorovancomycins, a non-native synthetic glycopeptide, and their evaluation are disclosed. Central to the approach is the synthesis of a single late-stage intermediate that bears a residue 4 thioamide ([Ψ[C(═S)NH]Tpg4]tetrachlorovancomycin (3), LLS 15 steps, 14% overall) as a precursor to either of two key pocket modifications and their pairing with any combination of two peripheral modifications conducted without protecting groups. A stereochemical simplification achieved by the addition of two aryl chlorides removes two synthetically challenging atropisomer centers in native glycopeptides and streamlines the synthesis. Key features include in a convergent epimerization-free thioacylation of the AB ring system amine with an N-thioacylbenzotriazolyl DE tetrapeptide (85%) followed by simultaneous room-temperature SNAr macrocyclizations of the CD and DE ring systems (96%). The approach provided 3 from which [Ψ[C(═N)NH]Tpg4]tetrachlorovancomycin (4) and [Ψ(CH2NH)Tpg4]tetrachlorovancomycin (5) were prepared in a single-step and bear binding pocket modifications that convey dual d-Ala-d-Ala/d-Lac ligand binding to overcome vancomycin resistance. The newest maxamycin members are disclosed, bearing two additional peripheral modifications that introduce two independent synergistic MOAs that do not rely on native ligand binding for activity. Ligand binding properties of pocket-modified tetrachlorovancomycins 3-5, antibacterial activity of a key compound series, and PK assessments of two tetrachloromaxamycins are reported.

FeTiO3 has emerged as an interesting semiconductor photocatalyst in organic synthesis. We herein describe a visible-light-induced semiheterogeneous strategy for the synthesis of 3-(2-oxoethyl)indolin-2-ones with moderate to good yields and good functional group compatibility using recyclable FeTiO3 as a photocatalyst and NHPI as a redox catalyst.

IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis associated with essential thrombocythemia: A case report.

BACKGROUND: The complexity of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related diseases and their potential connection to hematologic malignancies remains unclear. This article provided a review of the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (SC) and essential thrombocythemia (ET), along with an analysis of relevant literature to enhance comprehension of this disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 56-year-old male was admitted to two hospitals with deteriorating jaundice and pruritus prior to hospitalization. Beyond our expectations, the patient was first diagnosed with IgG4-SC and ET with the Janus kinase 2 V617F mutation. Interestingly, the administration of acetate prednisone significantly resulted in improvements in both IgG4-SC and ET. Clinicians need to pay attention to immune disorders and inflammation as they contribute to the development of various disease phenotypes. CONCLUSION: When IgG4-SC is suspected without histopathological evidence, diagnostic therapy and long-term regular follow-up can lead to positive treatment outcomes. Clinicians should be mindful of the potential presence of concurrent hematologic diseases in patients with immune disorders.

Tuning transition metals layered-electroplated on bimetallic MxCu1-x crystallites (M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Zn) to boost ammonia yield in electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate wastewaters.

Nitrate-containing wastewaters have been recognized as an important source for recovering valuable ammonia. This work targets integrating a series of transition metals (M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Zn) onto Cu crystallites through a layered-plating method. The strategy to promote the nitrate reduction reaction (NO3-RR) involves tuning M surfaces in specific ratios for the hydrogenation of nitrogenous species on MxCu1-x electrodes. Electrochemical analysis and operando Raman spectra identified that a solid-state Cu2O-to-Cu0 transition acted as the primary mediator, while its high corrosion resistance protected the M metals or metal oxides from inactivation in nitrate-to-ammonia pathways. Among bimetals, FeCu was the best combination, with the order of performance in constant potential electrolysis, Fe0.36Cu0.64 > Ni0.73Cu0.27 > Co0.34Cu0.66 > Zn0.64Cu0.36. The collaboration of Cu and M in deoxygenating nitrate and subsequently hydrogenating NOx at respective overpotentials is key to enhancing ammonia yield. Nitrate removal (96 %), NH3 selectivity (93 %), and Faradaic efficiency (92 %) were optimized on Fe0.36Cu0.64 electrode at -0.6 V (vs. RHE). A steady yield as high as 14,080 µg h-1 mg-1 was achieved at 30 mA cm-2 using a real water sample (NO3- ∼ 500 mg-N L-1, pH 4) as the input stream, continuously operated for 96 h.

Comprehensive analysis of risk factors for flap necrosis in free flap reconstruction of postoperative tissue defects in oral and maxillofacial tumors.

Free flap reconstruction for postoperative tissue defects in oral and maxillofacial tumors is a critical component of reconstructive surgery. Identifying risk factors for flap necrosis is essential for improving surgical outcomes and patient quality of life. A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent free flap reconstruction between January 2020 and December 2023. Patients were included if they had comprehensive medical records and at least a six-month follow-up. We excluded those with a history of flap necrosis, uncontrolled systemic diseases, non-adherence to postoperative care, or concurrent malignancy treatments. Data on demographics, comorbidities, flap characteristics, and operative details were collected and analyzed using univariate analysis and logistic regression tests. Univariate analysis did not find a significant correlation between flap necrosis and factors such as hyperlipidemia, lymph node metastasis, or flap type. However, diabetes mellitus, oral infections, and albumin levels below 35 g/L were significantly associated with flap necrosis. Multivariate logistic regression showed diabetes mellitus increased the odds of flap necrosis by approximately ninefold, and oral infection increased it by over tenfold. Diabetes mellitus, oral infection, and low albumin levels are significant risk factors for flap necrosis in free flap reconstruction after oral and maxillofacial surgery. Prompt identification and management of these factors are crucial to mitigate the risk of flap necrosis.

The median effective concentration of epidural ropivacaine with different doses of dexmedetomidine for motor blockade: an up-down sequential allocation study.

Study objective: Recent studies have shown that dexmedetomidine can be safely used in peripheral nerve blocks and spinal anesthesia. Epidural administration of dexmedetomidine produces analgesia and sedation, prolongs motor and sensory block time, extends postoperative analgesia, and reduces the need for rescue analgesia. This investigation seeks to identify the median effective concentration (EC50) of ropivacaine for epidural motor blockade, and assess how incorporating varying doses of dexmedetomidine impacts this EC50 value. Design: Prospective, double-blind, up-down sequential allocation study. Setting: Operating room, post-anesthesia care unit, and general ward. Interventions: One hundred and fifty patients were allocated into five groups in a randomized, double-blinded manner as follows: NR (normal saline combined with ropivacaine) group, RD0.25 (0.25 µg/kg dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine) group, RD0.5 (0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine) group, RD0.75 (0.75 µg/kg dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine) group, RD1.0 (1.0 µg/kg dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine) group. The concentration of epidural ropivacaine for the first patient in each group was 0.5%. Following administration, the patients were immediately placed in a supine position for observation, and the lower limb motor block was assessed every 5 min using the modified Bromage score within 30 min after drug administration. According to the sequential method, the concentration of ropivacaine in the next patient was adjusted according to the reaction of the previous patient: effective motor block was defined as the modified Bromage score > 0 within 30 min after epidural administration. If the modified Bromage score of the previous patient was >0 within 30 min after drug administration, the concentration of ropivacaine in the next patient was decreased by 1 gradient. Conversely, if the score did not exceed 0, the concentration of ropivacaine in the next patient was increased by 1 gradient. The up-down sequential allocation method and probit regression were used to calculate the EC50 of epidural ropivacaine. Measurements: Adverse events, hemodynamic changes, demographic data and clinical characteristics. Main results: The EC50 of epidural ropivacaine required to achieve motor block was 0.677% (95% CI, 0.622-0.743%) in the NR group, 0.624% (95% CI, 0.550-0.728%) in the RD0.25 group, 0.549% (95% CI, 0.456-0.660%) in the RD0.5 group, 0.463% (95% CI, 0.408-0.527%) in the RD0.75 group, and 0.435% (95% CI, 0.390-0.447%) in the RD1.0 group. The EC50 of the NR group and the RD0.25 group were significantly higher than that of the RD0.75 and the RD1.0 groups, and the EC50 of the RD0.5 group was significantly higher than that of the RD1.0 group. Conclusion: The EC50 of epidural ropivacaine required to achieve motor block was 0.677% in the NR group, 0.624% in the RD0.25 group, 0.549% in the RD0.5 group, 0.463% in the RD0.75 group, and 0.435% in the RD1.0 group. Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant for ropivacaine dose-dependently reduce the EC50 of epidural ropivacaine for motor block and shorten the onset time of epidural ropivacaine block. The optimal dose of dexmedetomidine combined with ropivacaine for epidural anesthesia was 0.5 µg/kg.

Analysis of chloroplast genome structure and phylogeny of the traditional medicinal of Ardisia crispa (Myrsinaceae).

Ardisia crispa(Myrsinaceae) is an ethnomedicine with horticultural and important medicinal values. Its morphology is complex, and its identification is difficult. We analyse the chloroplast genome characteristics and phylogenetic position of A. crispa to provide basic research data for the identification of A. crispa species and resource conservation. This study assemble and annotate the chloroplast genome of A. crispa and to compare it with the chloroplast genome within Ardisia. The A. crispa chloroplast genome is 156,785 bp in length, with a typical quadripartite structure containing 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes; a total of 59 SSRs sites were identified, and the codon preference of this chloroplast genome is greater in A/U than in G/C, and leucine is the amino acid with the highest frequency of use. The chloroplast genomes of the nine Ardisia species are conserved in gene content and number, with more stable boundaries and less variation. In the phylogenetic tree, A. crispa is clustered on a branch with A. crispa var dielsii, and is closely related to A. mamillata and A. pedalis. In this study, we constructed and analyzed the chloroplast genome structure of A. crispa, and conducted phylogenetic analysis using the whole chloroplast genome sequence data of Ardisia plants, which is of great significance in understanding the genetic basis of A. crispa and adaptive evolution in Ardisia plants, and this will lay the foundation for the future research on A. crispa resource conservation and species identification.

Silicon photocathode functionalized with osmium complex catalyst for selective catalytic conversion of CO2 to methane.

Solar-driven CO2 reduction to yield high-value chemicals presents an appealing avenue for combating climate change, yet achieving selective production of specific products remains a significant challenge. We showcase two osmium complexes, przpOs, and trzpOs, as CO2 reduction catalysts for selective CO2-to-methane conversion. Kinetically, the przpOs and trzpOs exhibit high CO2 reduction catalytic rate constants of 0.544 and 6.41 s-1, respectively. Under AM1.5 G irradiation, the optimal Si/TiO2/trzpOs have CH4 as the main product and >90% Faradaic efficiency, reaching -14.11 mA cm-2 photocurrent density at 0.0 VRHE. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the N atoms on the bipyrazole and triazole ligands effectively stabilize the CO2-adduct intermediates, which tend to be further hydrogenated to produce CH4, leading to their ultrahigh CO2-to-CH4 selectivity. These results are comparable to cutting-edge Si-based photocathodes for CO2 reduction, revealing a vast research potential in employing molecular catalysts for the photoelectrochemical conversion of CO2 to methane.

Orientation selectivity mapping in the visual cortex.

The orientation map is one of the most well-studied functional maps of the visual cortex. However, results from the literature are of different qualities. Clear boundaries among different orientation domains and blurred uncertain distinctions were shown in different studies. These unclear imaging results will lead to an inaccuracy in depicting cortical structures, and the lack of consideration in experimental design will also lead to biased depictions of the cortical features. How we accurately define orientation domains will impact the entire field of research. In this study, we test how spatial frequency (SF), stimulus size, location, chromatic, and data processing methods affect the orientation functional maps (including a large area of dorsal V4, and parts of dorsal V1) acquired by intrinsic signal optical imaging. Our results indicate that, for large imaging fields, large grating stimuli with mixed SF components should be considered to acquire the orientation map. A diffusion model image enhancement based on the difference map could further improve the map quality. In addition, the similar outcomes of achromatic and chromatic gratings indicate two alternative types of afferents from LGN, pooling in V1 to generate cue-invariant orientation selectivity.

Lactate Contributes to Remote Ischemic Preconditioning-Mediated Protection Against Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Facilitating Autophagy via the AMPK-Mammalian Target of Rapamycin-Transcription Factor EB-Connexin 43 Axis.

Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) exerts a protective role on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury by the release of various humoral factors. Lactate is a common metabolite in ischemic tissues. Nevertheless, little is known about the role lactate plays in myocardial I/R injury and its underlying mechanism. This investigation revealed that RIPC elevated the level of lactate in blood and myocardium. Furthermore, AZD3965, a selective monocarboxylate transporter 1 inhibitor, and 2-deoxy-d-glucose, a glycolysis inhibitor, mitigated the effects of RIPC-induced elevated lactate in the myocardium and prevented RIPC against myocardial I/R injury. In an in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation model, lactate markedly mitigated hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cell damage in H9c2 cells. Meanwhile, further studies suggested that lactate contributed to RIPC, rescuing I/R-induced autophagy deficiency by promoting transcription factor EB (TFEB) translocation to the nucleus through activating the AMPK-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway without influencing the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-Akt pathway, thus reducing cardiomyocyte damage. Interestingly, we also found that lactate up-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of connexin 43 (CX43) by facilitating the binding of TFEB to CX43 promoter in the myocardium. Functionally, silencing of TFEB attenuated the protective effect of lactate on cell damage, which was reversed by overexpression of CX43. Further mechanistic studies suggested lactate facilitated CX43-regulated autophagy via the AMPK-mTOR-TFEB signaling pathway. Collectively, our research demonstrates that RIPC protects against myocardial I/R injury through lactate-mediated myocardial autophagy via the AMPK-mTOR-TFEB-CX43 axis.

Rational Regulation of Optimal Oxygen Vacancy Concentrations on VO2 for Superior Aqueous Zinc-Ion Battery Cathodes.

VO2 with its special tunnel structure and high theoretical capacity is an ideal candidate for cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs). However, the slow kinetics and structural instability due to the strong electrostatic interactions between the host structure of VO2 and Zn2+ hinder its application. Defect engineering is a well-recognized strategy for improving the intrinsic ion-electron dynamics and structural stability of this material. However, the preparation of oxygen vacancies poses significant difficulties, and it is challenging to control their concentration effectively. Excessive or insufficient vacancy concentration can have a negative effect on the cathode material. Herein, we propose electrode materials with controlled oxygen vacancies prepared in situ on carbon nanofibers (CNF) by a simple, one-step hydrothermal process (Ov-VO2@CNF). This method can balance the adsorption energy and migration energy barrier easily, and we maximized the adsorption energy of Zn2+ while minimizing the adsorption energy barrier. Notably, the Ov2-VO2@CNF electrode delivered a high specific capacity (over 450 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1) and excellent cycle stability (318 mAh g-1 at 5 A g-1 capacity after 2000 cycles with a capacity retention of 85%). This rational design of precisely regulated defect engineering provides a way to obtain advanced electrode materials with excellent comprehensive properties.

Effect of negative remodeling of the side branch ostium on the efficacy of a two-stent strategy for distal left main bifurcation lesions: an intravascular ultrasound study.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether negative remodeling (NR) detected by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) of the side branch ostium (SBO) would affect in-stent neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) at the one-year follow-up and the clinical outcome of target lesion failure (TLF) at the long-term follow-up for patients with left main bifurcation (LMb) lesions treated with a two-stent strategy. METHODS: A total of 328 patients with de novo true complex LMb lesions who underwent a 2-stent strategy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment guided by IVUS were enrolled in this study. We divided the study into two phases. Of all the patients, 48 patients who had complete IVUS detection pre- and post-PCI and at the 1-year follow-up were enrolled in phase I analysis, which aimed to analyze the correlation between NR and in-stent NIH at SBO at the 1-year follow-up. If the correlation was confirmed, the cutoff value of the remodeling index (RI) for predicting NIH ≥ 50% was analyzed next. The phase II analysis focused on the incidence of TLF as the primary endpoint at the 1- to 5-year follow-up for all 328 patients by grouping based on the cutoff value of RI. RESULTS: In phase I: according to the results of a binary logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the RI cutoff value predicting percent NIH ≥ 50% was 0.85 based on the ROC curve analysis, with a sensitivity of 85.7%, a specificity of 88.3%, and an AUC of 0.893 (0.778, 1.000), P = 0.002. In phase II: the TLR rate (35.8% vs. 5.3%, P < 0.0001) was significantly higher in the several NR (sNR, defined as RI ≤ 0.85) group than in the non-sNR group. CONCLUSION: The NR of LCxO is associated with more in-stent NIH post-PCI for distal LMb lesions with a 2-stent strategy, and NR with RI ≤ 0.85 is linked to percent NIH area ≥ 50% at the 1-year follow-up and more TLF at the 5-year follow-up.

Targeting erythroid progenitor cells for cancer immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint blockade therapy, represents a major milestone in the history of cancer therapy. However, the current response rate to immunotherapy among cancer patients must be improved; thus, new strategies for sensitizing patients to immunotherapy are urgently needed. Erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs), a population of immature erythroid cells, exert potent immunosuppressive functions. As a newly recognized immunosuppressive population, EPCs have not yet been effectively targeted. In this review, we summarize the immunoregulatory mechanisms of EPCs, especially for CD45+ EPCs. Moreover, in view of the regulatory effects of EPCs on the tumor microenvironment, we propose the concept of EPC-immunity, present existing strategies for targeting EPCs, and discuss the challenges encountered in both basic research and clinical applications. In particular, the impact of existing cancer treatments on EPCs is discussed, laying the foundation for combination therapies. The aim of this review is to provide new avenues for improving the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy by targeting EPCs.

Performance of Prehospital ECG and Impact on Prehospital Service Time: Comparison between EMT-II and EMT-P Teams.

Background: Prehospital electrocardiogram (PHECG) shortens door-to-balloon time in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. However, it may increase the prehospital service time, thus offsetting the benefits gained. The performance of PHECG could be influenced by the proficiency of the emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Objectives: To investigate whether there are differences in the performance of PHECG between EMT-II and EMT-paramedics (EMT-P). Methods: This prospectively designed, retrospectively analyzed study of PHECG was conducted in Taipei from February 2019 to April 2021. Comparisons were made between EMT-II and EMT-P teams. The primary outcomes were the acceptance of PHECG suggestions and prehospital service time. The secondary outcomes were gender disparities in the primary outcomes. Results: A total of 2,991 patients were included, of whom 2,617 received PHECG. For the primary outcomes, the acceptance of PHECG was higher in those approached by EMT-P (99.6% vs. 71.5%, p < 0.001). The scene time and scene-to-hospital time showed no significant differences. For gender disparities, the acceptance of PHECG in female patients was significantly lower in those approached by EMT-II (59.3% vs. 99.2%, p < 0.001). The scene time and scene-to-hospital time were generally longer in the female patients, especially in the younger and middle age groups. Compared to EMT-P, both were significantly longer in the female patients approached by EMT-II. Conclusions: The acceptance of PHECG was lower in those approached by EMT-II, especially in females. Although there were generally no significant differences between EMT-II and EMT-P, the scene time and scene-to-hospital time were significantly longer in female patients, especially in those aged < 75 years approached by EMT-II.

Electroacupuncture activates the peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor pathway to improve the phenotype of cerebral palsy.

AIM: This study explores the efficacy of electroacupuncture (EA) in treating cerebral palsy (CP) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) pups, specifically CP animal models, and its molecular mechanisms. METHODS: Gait analysis and Y-maze were used to detect the improvement of motor ability and cognitive function of CP rats after EA treatment. Transcription sequencing was used to determine the key pathway for EA to improve the symptoms of CP. PPAR agonists were used to verify the causal relationship between the pathway and the improvement of CP phenotype. RESULTS: The motor ability and cognitive function of CP pups were improved after EA treatment. The results of transcriptome sequencing suggest that the improvement of CP phenotype may be caused by the activation of PPAR pathway. PPAR pathway is widely activated in the epithelium of CP pups treated with EA, which is verified by qPCR. Rosiglitazone (Ros), a PPAR agonist, can improve CP phenotype while activating PPAR pathway, which proves the causal relationship between PPAR pathway activation and CP phenotype improvement. CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated behavioral improvements and enhanced cognitive functions in CP models after EA treatment by activating PPAR pathway, suggesting new perspectives for CP rehabilitation, and providing theoretical support for acupuncture treatment of CP.

Structural and sensory characteristics of ultrasonic assisted wet-heating Maillard reaction products of Giant salamander protein hydrolysates.

BACKGROUND: Chinese giant salamander protein hydrolysates (CGSPH) are beneficial to human health as a result of their high content of amino acids and peptides. However, the formation of bitter peptides in protein hydrolysates (PHs) would hinder their application in food industry. The ultrasound assisted wet-heating Maillard reaction (MR) is an effective way to improve the flavor of PHs. Thus, the effect of ultrasonic assisted wet-heating MR on the structure and flavor of CGSPH was investigated in the present study. RESULTS: The results indicated that the ultrasound assisted wet-heating MR products (MRPs) exhibited a higher degree of graft and more significant changes in the secondary and tertiary structures of CGSPH compared to traditional wet-heating MRPs. Moreover, ultrasound assisted wet-heating MR could significantly increase the content of small molecule peptides and reduce the content of free amino acids of CGSPH, which resulted in more significant changes in flavor characteristics. The changed in flavor properties after MR (especially ultrasound assisted wet-heating MRPs) were mainly manifested by a significant reduction in bitterness, as well as a significant increase in the content of aromatic aldehyde ester compounds such as furan-2-carbaldehyde, butanal, benzaldehyde, furfural, etc. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound assisted wet-heating MR between CGSPH and xylose could be a promising way to improve the sensory characteristics of CGSPH. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
