Structural Characteristics and Antioxidant Mechanism of Donkey-Hide Gelatin Peptides by Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

This study aimed to explore the structural characteristics and antioxidant mechanism of donkey-hide gelatin peptides. After hydrolysis and ultrafiltration treatment, five gelatin peptides with different molecular weights (MWs) were obtained. Amino acid analysis showed that gelatin peptides with different MWs contained a large number of amino acids, including G, P, E, N, A, and R, and differences were noted in the content of various amino acids. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism revealed that these gelatin peptides differed in terms of the peak strength of functional groups and number of secondary structures. Moreover, 26 pentapeptides/hexapeptides were identified. Among them, we investigated by molecular docking how PGPAP, which has the best antioxidant activity, may interact with the Keap1 protein. The results showed that the PGPAP-Keap1 complex had a stable conformation, and Arg415, Gly462, Phe478, and Tyr572 were the key residues involved in the binding of the peptide PGPAP to Keap1. Our results demonstrated that PGPAP could serve as a bioactive peptide with antioxidant activity.

Carbon nitride/positive carbon black anchoring PtNPs assembled byγ-rays as ORR catalyst with excellent stability.

Electrocatalytic performance of low-cost graphitic carbon nitride (CN) is greatly limited by its limited conductivity and small specific surface area. Herein, a simple and cost-effective idea to produce novel nanocomposite is constructed by the CN and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide functionalized carbon black (CB) anchored platinum nanoparticles as highly efficient oxygen reduction catalysts based on gamma irradiation. The assembled carbon nitride/positive carbon black anchoring PtNPs (Pt/CN2-CB+1) catalyst exhibits significantly improved specific surface area, high graphitization, and uniformly dispersed ultra-small platinum nanoparticles. For the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, the catalyst shows more positive onset-potential (0.93 V versus RHE) and larger diffusion limiting current density (5.65 mA cm-2) compared with benchmark Pt/C catalysts in alkaline medium. Moreover, the Pt/CN2-CB+1catalyst exhibits a small Tafel slope (92 mV dec-1). Besides, the catalyst was demonstrated the remarkable methanol tolerance and good long-term stability under working conditions. This work provides a new and effectiveγ-rays irradiation for synthesizing the carbon nitride catalysts for energy conversion and storage applications.

CCEPR is a novel clinical biomarker for prognosis and regulates cell proliferation through PCNA in osteosarcoma.

CCEPR (cervical carcinoma expressed PCNA regulatory lncRNA) has been found to be upregulated and enhance cell proliferation in human cancers. However, the role of CCEPR in osteosarcoma remains to be discovered. In this study, we found CCEPR expression was elevated in osteosarcoma tissue specimens and cell lines compared with adjacent normal tissue specimens and osteoblast cell line, respectively. Meanwhile, osteosarcoma patients with advanced stage or tumor size greater than 8 cm had higher expression of CCEPR than patients with early stage or tumor size less than or equal to 8 cm, respectively. Survival analysis suggested that osteosarcoma patients with high CCEPR expression had a worse overall survival rate than those with low CCEPR expression. The in vitro study indicated that CCEPR positively regulated proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression in osteosarcoma cells and silencing of CCEPR inhibited osteosarcoma cell proliferation through decreasing PCNA expression. In conclusion, CCEPR is a potential prognostic predictor and functions as oncogenic long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) to regulate cell proliferation via PCNA in osteosarcoma.

Microwave pretreatment effects on the aroma precursors, sensory characteristics and flavor profiles of fragrant rapeseed oil.

Microwave technology offers a rapid and uniform heating method. This study investigated how microwave pretreatment affects the aroma precursors and flavor of fragrant rapeseed oils (FROs). Microwave pretreatment led to decreased levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, sugars, protein-bound amino acids, and glucosinolates. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we identified 66 volatile compounds in the oil samples. Among these, based on odor activity values (OAV ≥ 1), we found 9 aldehydes, 1 ketone, 6 pyrazines, 1 isothiocyanate, and 7 nitriles as the key aroma-active compounds, contributing fatty-like, nutty-like, and pungent-like odors, respectively. The electronic nose results highlighted W5S and W1W as primary sensors for determining the flavor profiles of FROs. Notably, aroma-active pyrazines exhibited strong negative correlations with sucrose, cysteine, lysine, and isoleucine. This research provides essential insights for enhancing the aroma of FROs.

Influence of triacylglycerol structure on the formation of lipid oxidation products in different vegetable oils during frying process.

The deterioration of frying oil significantly affects the quality of fried foods, leading to the formation of harmful oxidation products. This study examined how triacylglycerol (TAG) degradation influences both non-volatile and volatile oxidation products in frying oils. The sn-1/3 position of unsaturated fatty acyl chains was key to TAG degradation during frying. After 32 h, soybean oil showed higher levels of polymerized TAG products, 2,4-decadienal, (E)-2-heptenal, (E,E)-conjugated dienes, 4-oxo-alkanals, and epoxides compared to other oils. Rapeseed oil, however, had higher levels of glycerol core aldehydes, (E,E)-2,4-alkadienals, and n-alkanals. Correlation analysis suggested that thermal oxidation was more pronounced in the unsaturated TAGs of soybean and rapeseed oils, likely due to their abundant free radicals and low short-chain fatty acid content. The polar compound composition of TAG heating systems further supported the above conclusions. These results provide a better understanding of oxidative degradation in frying oils, focusing on TAG profiles.

A tear-free and edible dehydrated vegetables packaging film with enhanced mechanical and barrier properties from soluble soybean polysaccharide blending carboxylated nanocellulose.

The aim of the study was to develop soybean polysaccharide (SSPS) -carboxylated nanocellulose (CNC) blending films with enhanced mechanical and barrier properties to be used as a tear-free and edible packaging materials. The films were formed by casting method, with CNC as the strengthening unit and glycerol as the plasticizer. The effect of CNC on structural and physical performances of the SSPS-CNC films were studied. SEM indicated that the film will stratify with excess CNC (10 %), but the film remains intact and compact. Incorporation of CNC into SSPS films did not change peak position in the XRD pattern significantly. Hydrogen bonds among SSPS, glycerol and CNC were indicated by the FTIR spectra. The compounding of CNC greatly lessened the light transmittance and hydrophilicity (CA increased from 55.42° to 70.67°), but perfected the barrier (WVP decreased from 3.595 × 10-10 to 2.593 × 10-10 g m-1 s-1 Pa-1) and mechanical properties (TS improved from 0.806 to 1.317 MPa). The results of packaging dehydrated vegetable indicated that the SSPS-8CNC film can effectively inhibit the packaged cabbage absorption water vapor. As a consequence, SSPS film perfected by CNC is hopeful to pack dehydrated vegetables in instant foods.

Effects of high hydrostatic pressure on physicochemical and functional properties of walnut (Juglans regia L.) protein isolate.

BACKGROUND: Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a good source of protein that has potential application in new product formation and fortification. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment (300-600 MPa 20 min) on physicochemical and functional properties of walnut protein isolate (WPI) using various analytical techniques at room temperature. RESULTS: The results showed significant modification of solubility, free sulfhydryl content and surface hydrophobicity with increased levels of HHP treatment, indicating partial denaturation and aggregation of proteins. Differential scanning calorimetry and fluorescence spectrum analyses demonstrated that HHP treatment resulted in gradual unfolding of protein structure. Emulsifying activity index was significantly (P < 0.05) increased after HHP treatment at 400 MPa, but significantly decreased (P < 0.05) relative to the untreated WPI with further increase in pressure. HHP treatment at 300-600 MPa significantly decreased emulsion stability index. Additionally, HHP-treated walnut proteins showed better foaming properties and in vitro digestibility. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that HHP treatment could be applied to modify the properties of walnut proteins by appropriate of pressure levels, which will help in using walnut protein as a potential food ingredient.

Factors affecting the physical properties of edible composite film prepared from zein and wheat gluten.

The effects of zein ratio, concentration of glycerol, liquid-solid ratio, ethanol concentration, pH and heat-treatment temperature on the properties of zein/wheat gluten composite films were researched. The results showed that elongation (E) increased with an increase in glycerol or ethanol concentrations, but it first increased and then decreased with increasing zein/wheat gluten ratio, heat-treatment temperature, pH and the ratio of liquid to solid; Tensile strength (TS) increased with the increase in heat-treatment temperature and pH, and decreased with the increase in glycerol or ethanol concentrations, and it reached a maximum value when the ratio of zein/wheat gluten was 20%, but had a minimum value when the ratio of liquid to solid was 8:1; Water Vapor Permeability (WVP) increased with an increase of glycerol concentration and the ratio of liquid to solid and ethanol concentration, but it decreased with increasing zein/wheat gluten ratio, heat treatment temperature, and pH of the film forming solution.

Effect of Steam Explosion on Structural Characteristics of ß-Conglycinin and Morphology, Chemical Compositions of Soybean Meal.

In this study, steam explosion was applied as a means to degrade ß-conglycinin. We investigated changes in morphology, the chemical composition of soybean meal, and the structural characteristics of ß-conglycinin. The results showed that steam explosion at 0.7 MPa for 8 min could effectively decrease the ß-conglycinin content of soybean meal while the histamine content was not increased. The structural characteristics of soybean meal proteins were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), circular dichroism (CD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Steam explosion caused the degradation of high weight proteins and reduced the band density of α', α, and ß subunits in ß-conglycinin. The micro-surface of soybean meal seemed to be in the cracked or puffed stage and the color became brown or dark after steam explosion. Steam explosion facilitated the dissolution of water-extractable arabinoxylans, which are 4.81 fold higher than that of native soybean meal. Phytic acid was exposed to the hydrothermal environment of the steam explosion process and consequently degraded by 12.95-24.69%. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of soybean meal extract was gradually increased from 20.70 to 33.71% with the rising of treated pressure from 0.3 to 0.7 MPa, which was 1.11-1.81 fold of native extract. The steam explosion may be a new modification technology that could decrease antigenicity, and steam-exploded soybean meal (0.7 MPa, 8 min) with lower ß-conglycinin and phytic acid content that could be widely used in food products.

Effect of soy protein hydrolysates incorporation on dough rheology, protein characteristic, noodle quality, and their correlations.

Soy protein hydrolysates (SPHs) have bioactive and nutritional functions that can be used as fortifier of noodles. The objective of this study is to explore the effect of SPHs on dough rheology and noodle quality. Two kinds of SPHs, with a hydrolysis degree of 4.43% (SPH4) and 7.47% (SPH7), were added to wheat flour at a ratio of 5:95 to make dough and noodles. The addition of SPHs decreased the gluten yield, gluten index, peak viscosity, final viscosity, and setback of flour paste. Dough stability decreased, but the extensibility increased because of the addition of SPHs. SPHs decreased the high molecular weight glutenin subunits and SDS-unextractable polymeric protein proportion, and the results of scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy also showed that the gluten network in SPH7 dough was more discontinuous than that in SPH4, suggesting a stronger negative effect of SPH7 on the formation of the gluten network compared to that of SPH4. The incorporation of SPHs decreased the hardness and springiness of cooked noodles but increased their cooking loss, protein loss, and water absorption. The correlation analysis showed that high molecular weight subunits and SDS-unextractable polymeric protein in SPH-fortified dough were positively correlated with the hardness, adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, resilience, force, and distance at break of noodles, and these texture properties of noodles were positively correlated with pasting, gluten, and farinographical properties of SPH-fortified flour. These results suggested that SPHs could improve some qualities of noodles, such as smoothness and cooking yield, and resist pasted starch aging. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Soy protein hydrolysates have many bioactive functions. This study demonstrated the feasibility of incorporating soy protein hydrolysates into wheat flour to prepare noodles. The addition of soy protein hydrolysates gives noodles smoother mouthfeel and increases the cooking yield. The addition of soy protein hydrolysates decreases the setback value of flour paste, suggesting that soy protein hydrolysates may help to resist starch aging, which is favorable for starch-containing foods such as precooked noodles. Thus, soy protein hydrolysates possess potential applications in noodle products.

Improving bioaccessibility and physicochemical property of blue-grained wholemeal flour by steam explosion.

Whole grain contains many health-promoting ingredients, but due to its poor bioaccessibility and processibility, it is not widely accepted by consumers. The steam explosion was exploited to modify the nutritional bioaccessibility and the physicochemical properties of wholemeal flour in this study. In vitro starch digestibility, in vitro protein digestibility of wholemeal flour, total flavonoids content, and total phenolics content of digestive juice were used to evaluate the bioaccessibility, and a significant variation (p < 0.05) was noted. Results showed that steam explosion enhanced the gastric protein digestibility ranged from 5.67 to 6.92% and the intestinal protein digestibility ranged from 16.77 to 49.12%. Steam-exploded wholemeal flour (0.5 MPa, 5 min) had the highest protein digestibility and rapidly digestible starch content. Compared with native flour, steam explosion (0.5 MPa, 5 min) contributed to a 0.72-fold and 0.33-fold increment of total flavonoids content and total phenolics content in digestible juice. Chemical changes of wholemeal flour, induced by steam explosion, caused the changes in the solvent retention capacity, rheological property of wholemeal flour, and altered the falling number (and liquefaction number). An increasing tendency to solid-like behavior and the gel strength of wholemeal flour was significantly enhanced by the steam explosion at 0.5 MPa for 5 min, while the gluten was not weakened. This study indicated that steam-exploded wholemeal flour (0.5 MPa, 5 min) could serve as a potential ingredient with the noticeable bioaccessibility and physicochemical properties in cereal products.

Physical properties, antioxidant capacity, and starch digestibility of cookies enriched with steam-exploded wheat bran.

Wheat bran-based food is rich in bioactive compounds, and steam explosion enhances the nutritional properties of wheat bran. This study examined the potential utilization of steam-exploded wheat bran (SWB) in cookie formulation. The influence of steam explosion on the chemical compounds in wheat bran and the effects of SWB on the physical properties, antioxidant capacity, and starch digestibility of cookies were investigated. The results showed that steam explosion facilitated the release of reducing sugar, flavonoids, phenolic substances, and amino acid nitrogen in wheat bran, thereby improving its nutritional properties. The reduction of sugar, total flavonoids, total phenolics, and amino acid nitrogen contents of wheat bran after steam explosion increased by 34.22, 183.02, 284.09, and 93.39%, respectively, compared with those of native wheat bran. Substitution of SWB for wheat flour mainly induced higher water, sodium carbonate, and sucrose solvent retention capacities, which were positively related to the spread ratio and hardness of cookies. The cookies with more SWB substitution (30-50%) expressed a higher spread ratio and harder texture than the others. The substitution of SWB caused changes in the antioxidant properties of cookies, which were related to the phenolic content. The cookies with SWB showed a higher DPPH radical scavenging activity (16.30-30.93%) than that of the control (14.74%). SWB might form a matrix barrier to hinder starch digestion, thus reducing the digestibility of cookies. The cookies enriched with 30-50% of the SWB exhibited greater physical properties and antioxidant capacity but lower starch digestibility than those of other cookies. The results will contribute to expanding the application range and improving the quality of bran-rich flour products.

Improving Antioxidative and Antiproliferative Properties Through the Release of Bioactive Compounds From Eucommia ulmoides Oliver Bark by Steam Explosion.

Eucommia ulmoides Oliver bark is a potential medicinal plant-based feedstock for bioactive products and possesses the effective functions of antioxidant and antitumor. Network pharmacology was employed to reveal the oxidative and free radical damage and cancer-related potential compounds of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver in this study. The result showed that quercetin might be the key compound to resist these two types of diseases. Then, the effect of steam explosion on the release of bioactive compounds and the antioxidative and antiproliferative properties of the extract from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver bark were investigated. Results showed that steam explosion at 0.7 MPa for 30 min significantly enhanced the total phenolic, total flavonoids, and quercetin content of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver bark. Reducing power and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl-hydrate (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of the steam-exploded extracting solution were 1.72 and 2.76 times of native. The antiproliferative activity to CT26 and HepG2 of the extract from steam-exploded Eucommia ulmoides Oliver bark (SEU) was higher than those of native-exploded Eucommia ulmoides Oliver bark (NEU). All these results suggested that steam explosion could be applied to release the bioactive compounds, thus enhanced the antioxidative and antiproliferative activities of medicinal and edible plant-based sources.

Effect of steam explosion on nutritional components, physicochemical and rheological properties of brown rice powder.

Brown rice powder is underutilized mainly due to its lower starch digestibility and poor processing performance. The present study investigated the potential of steam explosion on the improvement of nutritional and physicochemical characteristic in brown rice powder and rheological property of paste. Compared with native brown rice powder, steam explosion at 0.5 MPa for 7 min increased the water-extractable arabinoxylans (5.77%), reducing sugar content (21.04%), and iodine blue value (30.38%), which indicated steam explosion that destroyed the intact cells of brown rice. Later the crystalline structure of brown rice powder was destroyed into an amorphous structure by steam explosion. Steam explosion enhanced the degree of gelatinization (4.76~351.85%) and solvent retention capacity (SRC) of brown rice powder, compared with native sample. The effect on the intact cells and starch structure of brown rice caused the starch digestibility enhancement remarkable. Viscoelastic profiles confirmed that steam explosion weakened the paste strength and elasticity corresponded with hardness and cohesiveness by increasing the loss factor (tanδ). This work provided important information for brown rice powder modified by steam explosion (0.5 MPa, 7 min) with good nutritional property (nutrients and digestibility) and processability (SRC, textural, and rheological property). Steam exploded brown rice powder (0.5 MPa, 7 min) could serve as a potential ingredient widely used in food products.

Sourdough improves the quality of whole-wheat flour products: Mechanisms and challenges-A review.

Increasing the intake of whole-wheat flour (WWF) products is one of the methods to promote health. Sourdough fermentation is increasingly being used in improving the quality of WWF products. This review aims to analyze the effect of sourdough fermentation on WWF products. The effects of sourdough on bran particles, starch, and gluten, as well as the rheology, antinutritional factors, and flavor components in WWF dough/products are comprehensively reviewed. Meanwhile, sourdough fermentation technology has a promising future in reducing anti-nutritional factors and toxic and harmful substances in WFF products. Finally, researchers are encouraged to focus on the efficient strain screening and metabolic pathway control of sourdough for WWF products, as well as the use of bran pre-fermentation and integrated biotechnology to improve the quality of whole-wheat products. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the effect of sourdough fermentation technology on wholemeal products to promote WWF production.

Effect of soy proteins on characteristics of dough and gluten.

The object of this research was to compare the influence of different soy protein products on wheat dough and its gluten characteristics, including soy protein isolate (SPI), texturized soy protein (TSP) and hydrolyzed soy proteins (SPH), all of which with similar protein content. Addition of TSP could increase dough stability and gluten content, but gluten could not be detected when flour was fortified with SPH. During mixing, SPI tended to interact with SDS soluble wheat proteins, SPH tended to interact with SDS soluble and alcohol soluble wheat proteins, and TSP tended to interact with SDS soluble wheat proteins and TSP. A new protein component was observed from TSP fortified dough by SDS-PAGE. Disulfide bonds change confirmed the new linkage formation in blend dough. CLSM micrographs revealed that effect of SPI, SPH and TSP was different, and this difference was responsible for the change of gluten and dough characteristics.

Compared analysis of microbial diversity in donkey milk from Xinjiang and Shandong of China through High-throughput sequencing.

Donkey milk has received increasing attention from consumers and dairy industry because of its nutritional value, health benefits, and proximity to human milk. Microbial diversity in donkey milk has a great impact on its quality and safety, however, microbiota in donkey milk from the major donkey-breeding regions of China have not been well documented. In this study, bacterial communities in donkey milk from Yopurga County in Western China (XJ), and Dong'e County in Eastern China (SD) were determined using high-throughput sequencing. Major phyla identified in the two donkey milk groups consistently included Acinetobacter, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes but with very different abundance for each phylum. Prevelence of genera was found to be diverse between the two groups, with Macrococcus and Acinetobacter dominating in the XJ samples while Streptococcus, Pseudoclavibacter, and Pseudomonas being the most abundant ones in the XJ samples. Alpha diversity analysis showed that there was significant difference in richness between the two sample groups but no difference in bacterial community diversity or coverage. The presence of possible harmful bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in donkey milk in this study provides the microbial profiles of pathogens and spoilage bacteria that need to be controlled and proposes possible utilization of beneficial microbial resources for the future.

Unexpected gelation behavior of citrus pectin induced by monovalent cations under alkaline conditions.

Monovalent cations normally do not induce gel formation of high methoxyl pectin. Alkali (NaOH or KOH) solution is normally used for saponification of pectin, which is one of the steps for measuring degree of methoxylation. However, the present study found that the alkali (NaOH or KOH) added to high methoxyl pectin could lead to gel formation in a concentration-dependent manner, involving in monovalent cation, alkali and pectin. The gel strength of CPGs increased and the morphology structure became denser with the increase of monovalent cations and pectin concentration. It was also found that Na+ induced stronger gels as compared to those induce by K+, at the same alkaline and pectin condition. It suggested that de-esterification, charge screening, hydrogen bond changes, and electronic attraction could be responsible for the monovalent cation-induced pectin gelation under alkaline condition.

Interactions between soy protein hydrolyzates and wheat proteins in noodle making dough.

Soy protein hydrolyzate has been used as supplements in wheat flour to enhance the nutritional value of its products, but it may negatively affect the gluten properties simultaneously. In order to explore the mechanism of this effect, protein characteristics including disulfide bond, protein composition, intermolecular force of dough proteins, and atomic force microscope images of gluten were obtained. Results showed that disulfide bonds in dough increased when soy protein hydrolyzate was added, but glutenin macropolymer decreased. Atomic force microscope images showed that gluten were weakened by soy protein hydrolyzate. Based on these results, a model was developed to describe the interaction between soy protein hydrolyzates and wheat proteins: soy protein hydrolyzates linked with wheat proteins through disulfide bond, disrupted the glutenins polymerization, thus hindered gluten networks formation. The interaction between wheat proteins and soy protein hydrolyzates in noodle making dough could be described with this model reasonably.

[Experimental study on long-term prevention effect of chitosan electrospun membrane on cerebrospinal fluid leakage].

OBJECTIVE: To study the long-term prevention effect of self-developed chitosan electrospun membrane on cerebrospinal fluid leakage. METHODS: Twenty-five healthy adult New Zealand rabbits were selected to prepare the bilateral dural defect (0.8 cem x 0.8 cm in size) via midline incision of head. Defect of the right was repaired with chitosan electrospun membrane as the experimental group; defect of the left was not repaired as the control group. At 2-16 weeks after operation, one rabbit was sacrificed for the general observation of inflammatory response surrounding bone window and absorption of chitosan electrospun membrane; at 3 and 6 weeks after operation, 5 rabbits were sacrificed for sampling to observe histological change and collagen expression by_HE and Masson staining, and to measure the expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: No inflammatory reaction of swelling, exudation, and sppuration appeared in the skin and subcutaneous tissue after operation in 2 groups. There was no adhesion around the chitosan electrospun membrane, and new fiber membrane formed under the chitosan electrospun membrane in the experimental group; no cerebrospinal fluid leakage happened; the chitosan electrospun membrane was gradually degraded with time, and was completely absorbed at 16 weeks. There was uneven scar around the dural detect in control group. Histological observation showed less inflammatory cell infiltration in the experimental group, showing significant difference in the number of inflammatory cells compared with control group at 3, 6 weeks (P < 0.05); capillary, granulation tissue and collagen fiber massively proliferated; collagen fiber arranged in line, and there was a clear borderline between chitosan electrospurn membrane and adjacent collagen fiber. The immunohistochemical staining showed that there were high expressions of bFGF and EGFR in the experimental group, and low expressions of bFGF and EGFR in the control group. CONCLUSION: Chitosan electrospun membrane for dural defect of rabbit can effectively reconstruct the dura, and it has exact long-term prevention effect on cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
