Effects of different cooking methods on proximate composition, digestion characteristics, and antioxidant activity of Lentinus edodes.

Lentinus edodes (SM) are highly appreciated by the food industry together with consumers for nutrition and flavour. It is hypothesized the results of our study can indicate to the suitable cooking method for maximal nutrient retention, this study investigated the effects of six cooking methods on the proximate composition, digestive properties, and antioxidant activities of SM in vitro simulated digestion. The results revealed that the ash and protein contents of cooked samples were reduced excluding steaming and roasting, and likewise minerals during deep-frying and boiling (e.g., Mg from 1080.07 to 629.03 mg/kg, deep-frying). A conspicuous rise in fat and energy was found in deep-frying and stir-frying. Steaming retained more reducing sugar (3.80 mg/mL). Roasting improved bioaccessibility of most amino acids (e.g., 82.61%, Asp). Using oil as a medium was associated with higher antioxidant activities using water. Steaming and roasting were better for preserving the nutrient composition of cooked Lentinus edodes.

[Influence of hOCT1 polymorphism on imatinib mesylate effectiveness in chronic myelogenous leukemia patients].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between hOCT1 polymorphism and imatinib mesylate (IM) effectiveness in chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML) patients, and to provide for the clinical individual personalized therapy. METHODS: Fifty-three CML and 23 non-CML patients were enrolled in this study. Blood or bone marrow samples were collected. Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the polymorphisms gene segment of hOCT1-P283L, R287G and M408V and their frequencies were statistically analysed. With clinical outcomes, the correlation between hOCT1 polymorphism and IM effectiveness in CML was analyzed. RESULTS: (1) For 74 Han Chinese, the allele frequencies of hOCT1-P283L, R287G and M408V were 39.86%, 29.05% and 45.27%, respectively. (2) The genotypes of hOCT1-P283L, R287G and M408V in 2 Tibetan Chinese were CC, CC, AG and CC, CG, AG, respectively. (3) In the CML patients with IM optimal response, the frequencies of 283T and 287G allele were predominant (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in the frequency distribution of hOCT1-M408V genotype and allele among the 3 different response groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: (1) Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (cSNP) P283L, R287G and M408V were found in the hOCT1 gene from 76 Chinese. (2) hOCT1 gene polymorphism is associated with the long-term molecular response of CML patients received IM therapy, indicating that the polymorphisms of hOCT1-283T, 287G may be good predictors for IM response. (3) There is no correlation between the polymorphisms of hOCT1-P283L, R287G, M408V and secondary IM resistance in CML patients.
