introduction: foreign body ingestion is common among children and more common in boys and in children under the age of 3. it can present with a wide variety of symptoms like dysphagia and drooling or symptoms related to the upper aerodigestive tract.   case report: a 20-month-old male presented with refractory croup and poor feeding since 2 weeks. bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy was performed du...

Homogenate extraction method was applied to fast extraction of polysaccharides from loquat leaves. Factors which affected extraction yield were investigated and optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that optimum technological conditions were as follows: ratio of liquid to material, 25 ml: 1g; extraction time, 100 s; and pH of extracting solvent, 11. Under optimum condi...

In this study, the bioactive compounds of loquat fruit (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) skin and pulp extracted by two extraction methods (solvent and ultrasound-assisted) with three solvents (ethanol, water and ethanol-water) were compared to supercritical fluid extraction. The antioxidant activities of skin and pulp extracts were evaluated and compared to tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) using 2...

To compare and investigate the phenolic compounds in peel flesh of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) evaluate their ability to protect against alcohol-induced liver oxidative stress, we employed a combination ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) qualitatively quantitatively analyze 22 phenolics 2 terpenoid extracts (extraction with 95% ethanol). Amo...

Phytophthora parasitica, being able to attack a wide variety of plants, is a very important plant pathogen in Taiwan. It has been shown that isolates of P. parasitica from tobacco, dieffenbachia, and loquat differed significantly from other isolates in morphology and pathogenicity and were recognized as “atypical” types of the fungus. In the current study, a partial sequence of the reverse tran...

ss as: Sa t bark. Abstract Biosorption of nickel ions from aqueous solutions by modified loquat bark waste (MLB) has been investigated in a batch biosorption process. The biosorbent MLB was characterized by FTIR analysis. The extent of biosorption of Ni(II) ions was found to be dependent on solution pH, initial nickel ions concentration, biosorbent dose, contact time, and temperature. The exper...

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) is a subtropical fruit, with some cultivars such as 'Luoyangqing' (LYQ) susceptible to chilling injury (CI), while others such as 'Baisha' (BS) are resistant. Although loquats are non-climacteric, modulation of ethylene has an effect on ripening-related post-harvest CI. Therefore the role of ethylene signalling in the development of CI was investigated in fru...

Abstract Background and objectives Skin defects are one of the primary problems that occur in post-harvest grading processing loquats. The loquats with skin will lead to loquat being easily destroyed during transportation storage, which cause risk other infected, affecting selling price loquat. Materials Methods In this paper, a method combining band radio image improved three-phase level set s...
