Investigation on taste characteristics and sensory perception of soft-boiled chicken during oral processing based on electronic tongue and electronic nose

The sensory perception of food is a dynamic process,which is closely related to the release of flavor substances during oral processing.It’s not only affected by the food material,but also subjected to the individual oral environment.To explore the oral processing characteristics of soft-boiled chicken,the sensory properties,texture,particle size,viscosity,characteristic values of electronic nose and tongue of different chicken samples were investigated.The correlation analysis showed that the physical characteristics especially the cohesiveness,springiness,resilience of the sample determined oral processing behavior.The addition of chicken skin played a role in lubrication during oral processing.The particle size of the bolus was heightened at the early stage,and the fluidity was enhanced in the end,which reduced the chewing time to the swallowing point and raised the aromatic compounds signal of electronic nose.But the effect of chicken skin on chicken thigh with relatively high fat content,was opposite in electronic nose,which had a certain masking effect on the perception of umami and sweet taste.In conclusion,fat played a critical role in chicken oral processing and chicken thigh had obvious advantages in comprehensive evaluation of soft-boiled chicken,which was more popular among people.

The activation of adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase inhibits the migration of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells by targeting Claudin-1 via epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Background:The role of Claudin-1 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC)metastasis needs further clarification,particularly its impact on cell migration.Herein,our study aims to investigate the role of Claudin-1 in TSCC cell migration and its underlying mechanisms.Methods:36 TSCC tissue samples underwent immunohistochemical staining for Claudin-1.Western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses were conducted to evaluate Claudin-1 expression and distribution in TSCC cells.Claudin-1 knockdown cell lines were established using short hairpin RNA transfection.Migration effects were assessed through wound healing assays.Furthermore,the expression of EMTassociated molecules was measured via western blotting.Results:Claudin-1 expression decreased as TSCC malignancy increased.Adenosine monophosphate–activated protein kinase(AMPK)activation led to increased Claudin-1 expression and membrane translocation,inhibiting TSCC cell migration and epithelial–mesenchymal transition(EMT).Conversely,Claudin-1 knockdown reversed these inhibitory effects on migration and EMT caused by AMPK activation.Conclusions:Our results indicated that AMPK activation suppresses TSCC cell migration by targeting Claudin-1 and EMT pathways.

Current Research Status of MicroRNAs in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is the most invasive type of oral malignant tumor, posing a serious threat to human life and health. Its pathogenesis is complex and has a high degree of malignancy. Recurrence and metastasis often lead to poor prognosis. MicroRNAs are a type of single stranded small molecule RNA with only 18 - 25 nucleotides, which can regulate the expression of various genes and participate in the occurrence and development of tumors. Studies have found that microRNA expression profiling can serve as a reliable and stable biological indicator for early diagnosis and prognosis of tumors. This article provides a review of the research status of MicroRNAs in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AR113 alleviates microbiota dysbiosis of tongue coating and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.However,information on stroke-related tongue coating microbiome(TCM)is limited,and whether TCM modulation could benefit for stroke prevention and rehabilitation is unknown.Here,TCM from stroke patients(SP)was characterized using molecular techniques.The occurrence of stroke resulted in TCM dysbiosis with significantly reduced species richness and diversity.The abundance of Prevotella,Leptotrichia,Actinomyces,Alloprevotella,Haemophilus,and TM7_[G-1]were greatly reduced,but common infection Streptococcus and Pseudomonas were remarkably increased.Furthermore,an antioxidative probiotic Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AR113 was used for TCM intervention in stroke rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R).AR113 partly restored I/R induced change of TCM and gut microbiota with significantly improved neurological deficit,relieved histopathologic change,increased activities of antioxidant enzymes,and decreased contents of oxidative stress biomarkers.Moreover,the gene expression of antioxidant-related proteins and apoptosis-related factors heme oxygenase-1(HO-1),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2),NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO-1),and Bcl-2 was significantly increased,but cytochrome C,cleaved caspase-3,and Bax were markedly decreased in the brain by AR113 treatment.The results suggested that AR113 could ameliorate cerebral I/R injury through antioxidation and anti-apoptosis pathways,and AR113 intervention of TCM may have the application potential for stroke prevention and control.

Molecular signaling in cancer stem cells of tongue squamous cell carcinoma:Therapeutic implications and challenges

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is the seventh most common cancer worldwide with high mortality rates.Amongst oral cavity cancers,tongue carcinoma is a very common and aggressive oral cavity carcinoma.Despite the implementation of a multimodality treatment regime including surgical intervention,chemo-radiation as well as targeted therapy,tongue carcinoma shows a poor overall 5-year survival pattern,which is attributed to therapy resistance and recurrence of the disease.The presence of a rare population,i.e.,cancer stem cells(CSCs)within the tumor,are involved in therapy resistance,recurrence,and distant metastasis that results in poor survival patterns.Therapeutic agents targeting CSCs have been in clinical trials,although they are unable to reach into therapy stage which is due to their failure in trials.A more detailed understanding of the CSCs is essential for identifying efficient targets.Molecular signaling pathways,which are differentially regulated in the CSCs,are one of the promising targets to manipulate the CSCs that would provide an improved outcome.In this review,we summarize the current understanding of molecular signaling associated with the maintenance and regulation of CSCs in tongue squamous cell carcinoma in order to emphasize the need of the hour to get a deeper understanding to unravel novel targets.

Evaluation of Holstein cows with different tongue‑rolling frequencies:stress immunity,rumen environment and general behavioural activity

Background The tongue-rolling behaviour of cows is regarded as an outward sign of stressed animals in a low welfare status.The primary aim of this observational study was to evaluate the association between the frequency of tongue-rolling behaviour and its physiological function.The secondary aim was to explore the relationship between general activities and the frequency of tongue-rolling behaviour of cows.A total of 126 scan sampling behavioural observations were collected over 7 d on 348 Holstein cows with the same lactation stage in the same barn.The tongue-rolling frequency was defined as the number of tongue-rolling observations as a percentage to the total observations per individual cow.According to their tongue-rolling frequency,the cows were grouped into the CON(no tongue-rolling),LT(frequency 1%),MT(frequency 5%),and HT(frequency 10%)groups.Six cows from each group were randomly selected for sampling.Serum samples,rumen fluid,milk yield,and background infor-mation were collected.The general behaviour data during 72 continuous hours of dairy cows,including eating time,rumination time,food time(eating time+rumination time),and lying time,were recorded by the collar sensor.Results Cortisol(P=0.012),γ-hydroxybutyric acid(P=0.008),epinephrine(P=0.030),and dopamine(P=0.047)levels were significantly higher in tongue-rolling groups than in the CON group.Cortisol levels and tongue-rolling frequency had a moderate positive correlation(linearly r=0.363).With the increase in tongue-rolling frequency,the rumen pH decreased first and then increased(P=0.013),comparing to the CON group.HT cows had significantly less food time than CON cows(P=0.035).The frequency of tongue-rolling had a moderate negative relationship with rumination time(r=-0.384)and food time(r=-0.492).Conclusions The tongue-rolling behaviour is considered as a passive coping mechanism,as the stress response in cows with high tongue-rolling frequency increased.Food intake and rumination activities were all closely related to the occurrence of tongue-rolling behaviour.

Mortal condition in an unusual localization,analysis of isolated tongue and tongue base abscesses

BACKGROUND Tongue abscess(TA)is a very rare clinical condition and its treatment is very important.Surgical drainage is at the forefront in the treatment.Our study includes patients with tongue and tongue base abscesses.AIM To discuss the clinical and laboratory findings of these patients emphasizing the underlying causes and treatment options with the largest patient series in the English literature.METHODS We included patients with isolated TA who applied to our clinic between January 1,2020 and January 1,2023.Those who lack the recorded data,those who are not between the ages of 18-66,those who have not undergone surgery-interventional procedure,and those who have infection and/or abscess in another place were excluded from the study.RESULTS There were two female(18%)and nine male(82%)patients in our series consisting of 11 patients.Their ages ranged from 18 to 66,and the mean±SD was 48.63±16.3.Considering the localization of the abscess,three anterior abscesses(27%),two lateral abscesses(18%),and six abscesses at the base of the tongue(54%)were detected.CONCLUSION Tongue abscesses can cause acute upper airway obstruction and respiratory collapse.It may be necessary to act quickly for the tracheotomy procedure and this procedure can usually be performed under local anesthesia as intubation cannot be achieved.When we encounter an abscess in an unexpected organ,difficulties may be encountered in the management of the patient.

[Objectives]This study was conducted to investigate the effect of interferon regulatory factor on the invasion and migration of tongue squamous carcinoma cells. [Methods]The expression level of IRF1 in tongue squamous carcinoma tissues was detected by real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Plasmids for overexpression and knockdown of IRF1 were constructed. The effects of overexpression and knockdown of IRF1 on the proliferation, invasion and migration of Tca8113 cells were examined in Tca8113 cells. [Results] IRF1 expression was abnormally reduced in tongue squamous carcinoma tissues, and both real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry showed significantly lower expression than that of paraneoplastic controls. The overexpression and knockdown plasmids of IRF1 were successfully constructed. Growth curve assays showed that overexpression of IRF1 inhibited the proliferation of Tca8113 cells, while knockdown of IRF1 promoted the proliferation of Tca8113 cells. Scratch assay showed that overexpression of IRF1 inhibited the migration of Tca8113 cells, while knockdown of IRF1 promoted the migration of Tca8113 cells. Transwell assay showed that overexpression of IRF1 inhibited the invasion of Tca8113 cells, while knockdown of IRF1 promoted the invasion of Tca8113 cells. [Conclusions] In the development of tongue squamous carcinoma, IRF1 functions as an anti-oncogene, and the expression level of IRF1 was reduced in tongue squamous carcinoma tissues.

Diagnostic accuracy of the tongue blade test combined with clinical signs to detect maxillary and mandibular fractures in the emergency department

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of clinical signs combined with the tongue blade test(TBT) to detect maxillary and mandibular fractures.METHODS: A cross-sectional study enrolled patients with maxillary and mandibular injuries in the emergency department. Physical examination and the TBT were performed, followed by radiological imaging(facial X-ray or computed tomography [CT]). The diagnostic accuracy was calculated for individuals and a combination of clinical findings at predicting maxillary and mandibular fractures.RESULTS: A total of 98 patients were identified, of whom 31.6% had maxillary fractures and9.2% had mandibular fractures. The combination of malocclusion, tenderness on palpation and swelling with positive TBT had 100% specificity to detect maxillary and mandibular fractures. In the absence of malocclusion, the combination of tenderness on palpation and swelling with positive TBT produced a specificity of 97.8% for maxillary fracture and a specificity of 96.2% for mandibular fracture. A clinical decision tool consisting of malocclusion, tenderness on palpation, swelling and TBT revealed a specificity of 100% and a positive predictive value of 100%.CONCLUSION: The clinical decision tool is potentially useful to rule out mandibular fractures,thus preventing unnecessary radiation exposure.

Simulated Annealing with Deep Learning Based Tongue Image Analysis for Heart Disease Diagnosis

Tongue image analysis is an efficient and non-invasive technique to determine the internal organ condition of a patient in oriental medicine,for example,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),Japanese traditional herbal medicine,and traditional Korean medicine(TKM).The diagnosis procedure is mainly based on the expert’s knowledge depending upon the visual inspec-tion comprising color,substance,coating,form,and motion of the tongue.But conventional tongue diagnosis has limitations since the procedure is inconsistent and subjective.Therefore,computer-aided tongue analyses have a greater potential to present objective and more consistent health assess-ments.This manuscript introduces a novel Simulated Annealing with Transfer Learning based Tongue Image Analysis for Disease Diagnosis(SADTL-TIADD)model.The presented SADTL-TIADD model initially pre-processes the tongue image to improve the quality.Next,the presented SADTL-TIADD technique employed an EfficientNet-based feature extractor to generate useful feature vectors.In turn,the SA with the ELM model enhances classification efficiency for disease detection and classification.The design of SA-based parameter tuning for heart disease diagnosis shows the novelty of the work.A wide-ranging set of simulations was performed to ensure the improved performance of the SADTL-TIADD algorithm.The experimental outcomes highlighted the superior of the presented SADTL-TIADD system over the compared methods with maximum accuracy of 99.30%.

Recurrence of unilateral angioedema of the tongue:A case report

BACKGROUND Angioedema is a disorder characterized by edema of the face,lips,tongue,and extremities due to increased vascular permeability.Angioedema of the tongue usually occurs bilaterally,and the incidence of unilateral angioedema of the tongue is rare.This study reports a rare case of unilateral angioedema of the tongue with no identifiable cause and repeated recurrence even after discontinuation of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 65-year-old woman with pre-existing hypertension and hyperlipidemia and had been receiving 20 mg/d of lisinopril.She was diagnosed with angioedema due to unilateral swelling of the tongue.No airway obstruction was observed,and the symptoms improved following the administration of 0.3 mg of epinephrine intramuscularly and 125 mg of methylprednisolone intravenously.Although lisinopril was discontinued,unilateral angioedema of the tongue continued to recur every 2-5 mo,with the symptoms improving following the administration of prednisolone and an antihistamine.Daily oral administration of 500 mg of tranexamic acid after dinner prevented the recurrence of angioedema.CONCLUSION Careful monitoring and identification of the underlying mechanism play a crucial role in the treatment of angioedema.
