Citrus is the first tree crop in terms of fruit production. The colour of Citrus fruit is one of the main quality attributes, caused by the accumulation of carotenoids and their derivative C30 apocarotenoids, mainly β-citraurin (3-hydroxy-β-apo-8'-carotenal), which provide an attractive orange-reddish tint to the peel of oranges and Mandarins. Though carotenoid biosynthesis and its regulation h...

CONTEXT Pre- and post-Frey procedure data assessing quality of life in South African patients with painful chronic pancreatitis were compared using two instruments of measure. OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the post-Frey procedure quality of life and to evaluate which of the two instruments was most appropriate in such patients. METHODS A prospective, observational, longitudinal st...

Quality of life breast cancer, QLQ-C30.

Iris florentina, Iris gemanica, Iris pallida, Irones, Irißorental Rhizomes o f Iris pallida and Iris florentina contain — increasing on storage — violet-like smelling C )4-ketones (irones 1 a—c) which develop by oxidative degradation of C3!-triterpenoids. The structure of these precursors is reported as well as the structure of respective C30-homologues. The unusual C3j-structures may derive bi...

Background The study was conducted on a population of 74 patients undergoing surgery for rectal adenocarcinoma with 5-year follow-up. The aim is to evaluate the survival and Quality of Life (QoL) in two groups of patients: Y group with age <60 years and E group with age ≥ 60 years. QoL was determined by administration of C30 Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ C30) and the module ColoRectal-29 (...

A series of C30 branched isoprenoid hydrocarbons with a cyclobotryococcane skeleton were identified in the Florida Coastal Everglades Ecosystem. Nine such C30 alkenes were detected and identified as five-membered ring monocyclic hydrocarbons with an identical parent structure of 7,11-cyclobotryococcane based on their mass spectra and hydrogenation behavior. Previous reports have suggested Botry...

This application report describes how to develop a real-time system for producing lung sound spectrographs and other analyses using the Texas Instruments (TITM) TMS320C30 (C30) digital signal processor (DSP). The C30 floating point processor, hosted by a PC with a 486 DX2 processor (or better) is written entirely in the C language. With this real time system, analog input can be captured direct...

Carotenoids could be divided into C30 carotenoids and C40 carotenoids. The immune functions of C40 carotenoids had been extensively researched, while those of C30 carotenoids still remain unclear. In this study, the immune functions of a biosynthetic C30 carotenoid, 4,4'-diaponeurosporene (Dia), were identified on dendritic cells (DCs). DCs treated with 1 μM Dia for 24 h showed morphologic and ...
