Puerarin is a flavonoid known as natural antioxidant found in the root of Pueraria robata. Its antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory effects have attracted attention potential functional ingredient various bioindustries. However, puerarin has limited bioavailability owing to its low lipid solubility stability. Acylation proposed synthesis method overcome this limitation. In study, lipase-catalyzed acylation acyl donors was performed, enzymatic synthetic condition optimized. Under...

Two Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented bacteria designated PSD1-4T and PHA3-4T, isolated from two sand-dune plant species inhabiting coastal areas in Tae-an, Korea, were subjected to taxonomic investigation. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that both isolates should be placed the genus Chryseobacterium of family Flavobacteriaceae. The phenotypic properties strains also consistent with their classification into this genus. levels similarity between strain other 95.2-97.2%; those PHA3-4T...

Objective To assess the prognostic roles of BAP1, PBRM1, pS6, PTEN, TGase2, PD-L1, CA9, PSMA, and Ki-67 tissue biomarkers in localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods Patients who underwent a nephrectomy during 1992–2015 had primary specimen their kidney tumor were included. The nine immunohistochemically stained on microarrays RCC, semi-quantitative H-score, including intensity score, was used to grade sample. Cox proportional hazards model evaluate markers significant for overall...
