This study presents an application of ultrasonic technology in the high voltage liquid insulation domain towards the reduction of pour point of vegetable oil samples for the utilization of vegetable oils as liquid insulation in cold climate areas on power transformers. Pour point reduction has been achieved by processing the vegetable oil samples by using ultrasonic treatment process with 100 W and 30 kHz ultrasonic waves for various exposure times of 15, 30, 45 and 60 min. Edible vegetable oils such as sunflower oil, palm oil, sesame oil and non edible vegetable oils such as honge oil, neem oil and punna oil are considered as two categories of vegetable oils for this experimental investigation. this website Ultrasonic treatment process results in the reduction of pour point of vegetable oils to meet out the standard value of pour point for liquid insulation as per IEEE Standard C57.147, 2018. A significant reduction in pour point temperature of vegetable oil samples have been obtained with an increased exposure time. The obtained variations in pour point after exposure with ultrasonic waves may be due to the possible changes in crystallization kinetics of fatty acids components of vegetable oil samples due to energy input of ultrasonic waves. The experimental results have given a way towards the positive encouragement and development with ultrasonic treatment for achieving low pour point vegetable oils as liquid insulation in power transformers for applications on cold climatic areas.Single cell protein (SCP) provides an alternative protein source to partially replace the conventional agricultural resources and support the increased nutritional needs. Inexpensive feeding source is one of the key limiting factors for the expansion of SCP production. The present study examined the valorization of biogas derived from the anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge and the discarded effluent as nutrients source to produce SCP using methanotrophic bacteria. Results indicated that the mixed methanotrophic culture can grow well on the pasteurized AD supernatant and biogas, succeeding in promising dry weight (DW) yield (0.66 ± 0.01 g-DW/g-CH4 and 11.54 ± 0.12 g-DW/g-NH4+). Methylomonas (56.26%) and Methylophilus (24.60%) spp. were the two main representatives of the mixed culture. The produced dried biomass had a protein content higher than 41% w/w, including essential amino acids like histidine, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, threonine and lysine. The cultivated SCP shows potential utilization as protein source for animal diets.This study focused on the non-grain biorefining of Jerusalem artichoke (JA) for exopolysaccharide (EPS) efficient production by using Bacillus velezensis LT-2. Results showed that LT-2 could directly utilize JA tuber power (JATP) for EPS production, and its EPS yield reached 11.47 ± 0.33 g/L in the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) mode. Furthermore, the SSF mode shortened the fermentation period by 26.67% and reduced the fermentation cost by 79.41% due to the improved substrate utilization and the avoidance of inhibition effects of a high fructose concentration. Transcriptome sequencing results showed that inulin could accelerate nucleotide-sugars biosynthesis, induce EPS synthetic gene cluster transcription, and strengthen the electron transport respiratory chain and the transporter systems, thereby ensuring EPS efficient synthesis. This work exhibited a productive non-grain and environmentally friendly fermentation strategy for EPS biosynthesis, which promoted the JA industry development and created new prospects for high-value industrial products biosynthesis by using JATP.The effect of excess sludge and food waste feeding ratio on the co-composting process was explored using 5% bagasse biochar as an additive and conditioner. Results showed that when the mass ratio was 11, nitrogen fixation ability was the strongest and ammonia nitrogen increment in the pile reached 2.31 mg/g. The increase in excess sludge content/food waste ratio during composting was conducive to the accumulation of H2O-P, BD-P, HCl-P, NaOH-P and NaOH85-P. When the ratio of excess sludge to food waste mass was 11, the relative abundance of Firmicutes was the largest in the compost, which corresponded to 72.77% at the phylum level. Food waste mass was more beneficial to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and to the metabolic activities related to membrane transport. Considering the fungal content, Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were maximum, with relative abundance of 69.53% and 20.91%, respectively, at the mass ratio of 11.The electricity production of microbial electrochemical system can be substantially strengthened by coupling with a reverse electrodialysis stack which extracts energy from salinity gradient, therefore provides a possible way for value-added products in cathode without external energy input. Here, a microbial reverse-electrodialysis CO2 reduction cell (MRECC) was developed and successfully utilized to drive CO2-to-formate conversion on a Bi/Cu cathode. Results confirmed the optimal anodic COD load and cathodic CO2 flow rate to be 1 g NaAc L-1 and 10 mL min-1. MRECC could yielded 143.5 ± 8.1 mg L-1 of formate with total energy efficiency of 4.6 ± 0.9% and coulombic efficiency of 46.4 ± 2.4%. Increasing or decreasing anode or cathode load impaired MRECC performance from economic and environmental viabilities. MRECC provided a promising platform for simultaneous CO2 reduction and value-added chemicals production by using sustainable energy from wastewaters.
Treatment of pediatric status epilepticus (SE) remains challenging as up to 50 % of patients are refractory to conventional anti-seizure medications. The glycolytic intermediate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), has been reported to exert significant anticonvulsant effects in both adult animals and in in vitro models of seizures. This study aims to examine FBP efficacy in controlling seizures in a rat model of juvenile SE.

Sprague Dawley rats (P11-P17) were injected with pilocarpine (300 mg/kg, i.p.) to induce SE, which was monitored by video-electroencephalography (v-EEG). Thirty minutes into SE, FBP was administrated (500 or 1000 mg/kg, i.p.). v-EEG recording was continued for ∼60 additional minutes to assess the anticonvulsant effect of FBP, compared with vehicle (saline) treatment.

SE consistently occurred in rat pups 10-15 min after pilocarpine injection and persisted over the 90-min recording period. Neither saline nor a lower dose of FBP (500 mg/kg) treatment stopped behavioral and electrographic seizures. At higher doses (1000 mg/kg), FBP terminated SE in ∼15 min in 60 % (6 of 10) of the rat pups.

The endogenous glycolytic metabolite, FBP, promptly suppresses ongoing seizure activity and represents a potential alternative metabolic therapy to improve the treatment of SE in the juvenile age range.

The objectives of this study were to 1) examine medical records from one medium-sized dietary clinic as an example of data being collected clinically, 2) identify data limitations, and then 3) create standardized data collection forms with the long-term goals of improving clinical care and facilitating multicenter data analysis.

A retrospective chart review was conducted at the Dietary Therapies for Epilepsy Clinic at Children's National Medical Center (CNMC) in Washington, D.C. Patients who initiated dietary therapy between 2015 and 2018 were assessed. Categorical variables were examined via Chi Square or Fisher's Exact tests and continuous variables were assessed via an independent t-test or Mann-Whitney U test, depending on normality.

Forty-two patients underwent dietary therapy initiation during this time period, but only 26 had follow-up visit data. Of these patients, 54% reported non-seizure symptom improvement(s), and only 16 had quantitative seizure frequency information available, with 63% beins clinics.
The results suggest limitations with the clinical data currently being collected. Medium-sized clinics may not see enough patients to study specific epilepsy populations. Standardized patient forms could target these issues, thereby improving clinical care and expanding research opportunities. Future research can test these forms for clinical use and as a collection tool for larger scale research across clinics.
To explore the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of miR-30c in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (CI/R) injury.

in vivo, miR-30c mimic was transfected before the rats were treated with CI/R injury, and the neurological damage was evaluated. The expression of miR-30c was analyzed by RT-PCR.The area of cerebral infarction and pathological damage in CI/R rats were detected by TTC, H&E, Nissl and TUNEL staining. The expression of SOX9, BNDF and NT-3 were analyzed by immunofluorescence and western blot. The target relationship between SOX9 and miR-30c was analyzed by dual- luciferase reporter assay. in vitro, miR-30c mimic, SOX9 mimic and negative control were transfected before the OGD/R model of HT22 was established. CCK8 and flow cytometry were used to analyze the effect of miR-30c on the cell viability and apoptosis of HT22 cells in OGD/R condition. The protein expression of SOX9, BNDF and NT-3 were analyzed by immunofluorescence and western blot.

The expression of miR-30c in the CI/R rats w in vivo and in vitro by targeting SOX9.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the main causes of physical disabilities in childhood. There is evidence that CP children display high levels of stress, which could interfere with learning processes and interpretation of relevant sensory information during motor skills acquisition and socialization.

This study aims to compare basal levels of stress biomarkers (cortisol and alpha-amylase) of healthy children (HC) and children with CP, and to investigate whether a physical therapy session using the neurodevelopmental technique (NDT) interferes with these levels.

A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 86 children (HC n = 45 and CP n = 41) with matching age, sex, socioeconomic status, and sampling time. Salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase levels were measured by means of electrochemiluminescence and spectrophotometry methods. A single saliva sample was collected in the HC group to determine basal levels. For CP group three samples were collected a first sample was taken 20-30 min prior to the intervention, while two post-intervention samples were collected (5 and 20 min) to evaluate individual changes in salivary stress biomarkers.

Higher basal cortisol concentration was found in CP children when compared to HC group. Moreover, CP children showed a significant reduction in cortisol levels 20 min after NDT intervention. No significant differences were observed in alpha-amylase values.

Present results show that CP causes alteration in basal cortisol values at childhood and suggest that CP children respond to environmental regulatory factors such as NDT, in attempt to reduce stress.
