Regional alterations in bone microstructure, muscle, and fat of the knee following anterior cruciate ligament rupture: a laboratory study in rabbit model

To investigate the temporal alterations in bone, muscle, and fat tissues in an anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) rabbit model. A total of 24 male New Zealand White rabbits underwent ACLT in the right knee. The animals were euthanized at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks post-ACLT...

Yeast Protein-Derived Peptides Protect against Ethanol-Induced Acute Gastric Mucosal Injury: Isolation, Identification, and Potential Mechanisms

Abstract Ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury (AGMI) is intrinsically linked to oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and compromised mucosal defense. This study aimed to isolate bioactive peptides from yeast protein (YP) and elucidate these in vitro protective mechanisms a...

Screen-detected health conditions among students in grade 1–9: findings from Timor-Leste’s first nationwide school-based screening program

Systematic health data on school-aged children in Timor-Leste have been lacking. The School-Based Primary Health Care Package screened students in Grade 1–9 nationwide in 2025. We describe the conditions detected and assess how far the estimates reflect variation between screener...

Synergistic Flotation Mechanism of Apatite Using LauricAcid-Lauryl Alcohol Combined Collector

Abstract To investigate the synergistic effect of fatty alcohols on the flotation performance of fatty acid collectors, a novel combined collector comprising lauric acid and lauryl alcohol was prepared. Flotation results of apatite indicated that the combined collector with 30% l...
