RESUMEN
To assess the effectiveness of carrageenan oligosaccharides (COs) in enhancing superchilling storage of crayfish, the physicochemical features of muscle and protein abundance in the refrigerated sample (RS), superchilled sample (SS) and COs soaked superchilled sample (CS) were evaluated. Microstructural and SDS-PAGE analyses suggested that CS exhibited fewer pores, with a microstructure and protein subunits distribution more similar to RS. Tandem Mass Tags quantitative proteomic analysis revealed 66 up-regulated differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) in the CS vs. SS batch, including myosin light chain 2, neural cadherin, integrin beta, lectin-like protein, toll-1, reticulon-1, and moesin/ezrin/radixin homolog 1, which facilitate cells adhesion and maintain membrane/cytoskeleton integrity. Eukaryotic Clusters of Orthologous Groups results confirmed that COs treatment increased the stability of crayfish myofibrillar proteins by up-regulating DAPs, which were concentrated in functional categories such as "posttranslation modification, protein turnover, chaperones", "signal transduction mechanisms", "energy production and conversion", and "cytoskeleton".

The variety of enzyme-based biological preservatives is limited. This study evaluated the effects of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) on the quality of crayfish during refrigerated storage by measuring the pH, total volatile basic nitrogen, trimethylamine, and microbial contamination in crayfish muscle simulation system. The results revealed that 0.3% GSH-Px (CK3) not only suppressed the degradation of nitrogenous substances but also decreased the contamination levels of total viable, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonas counts (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the populations of Lactococcus, Aeromonas, and Massilia differed in the CK3 group compared to the other groups (P < 0.05) at the end of the storage (day 15). Moreover, the principal coordinate analysis showed that the colony composition of CK3 stored for 15 days was similar to that of the control group stored for 10 days. Therefore, GSH-Px exhibits antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria and has good application potential in freshwater aquatic product preservation.
RESUMEN
To examine the safety of Chinese traditional fermented fish products (CTFPs) available on the Chinese market, nitrite, nitrate, biogenic amines (BAs) and volatile N-nitrosamines (VNAs) content in 33 commercial CTFPs from different provinces was investigated. The mean content of nitrite and nitrate wase 0.63 and 749.5 mg/kg, respectively. Concerning the occurrence of BAs, the accumulation in all CTFPs samples remained at low levels, whereas only in one sample from Guangxi the histamine content exceeded the critical level (50 mg/kg). In addition, six types of VNAs, including N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), N-nitrosoethylmethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine, N-nitrosomorpholine and N-nitrosodiphenylamine, were detected in a high number of samples. The NDMA content in 36.4% of the samples and the total VNAs content in about 63.6% of the samples were unacceptable. Principal component analysis indicated that the accumulation of NDMA and total VNAs was closely related with the content of histamine, tyramine and nitrate.

The study aims to explore potential mechanisms of YiSui NongJian formula (YSNJF) in treating myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) by network pharmacology-based strategy. Active compounds and corresponding potential therapeutic targets of YSNJF were harvested by utilizing the database of TCMSP (Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology) and BATMAN-TCM (Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine). MDS targets were adopted from GeneCard, KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes), TTD (Therapeutic Target Database), DrugBank, and DisGeNet. Then a network of YSNJF- compounds-target-MDS network was harvested. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was then generated by the Sting database and subjected to Cytoscape software to harvest major and core targets network by topological analysis. Genes from the core targets network were further subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis to figure out potential targeting pathways. Finally, a compounds-targets-pathways network was generated by Cytoscape. A total of 210 active compounds and 768 corresponding potential therapeutic targets were harvested from ingredients of YSNJF. MDS was shown to have 772 potential treating targets with 98 intersected targets corresponding to 98 active compounds in YSNJF. Topological analysis revealed that 15 targets formed the core PPI network. Further, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that those core targets were mainly enriched on cell cycle- and immune-related pathways. The present study revealed that therapeutic effects of YSNJF on MDS might be achieved through regulating cell cycle- and immune-related pathways.
