Summary: In this research, PVP microfibers incorporated water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions were prepared. The W/O emulsions consisted of hexadecyl konjac glucomannan (HKGM, emulsifier), corn oil (oil phase), and purple corn anthocyanins (PCAs, water phase). The emulsions and microfibers were characterized using CLSM, SEM, FT-IR, Raman, and NMR spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that the addition of PCAs improved the water resistance, mechanical strength, antioxidation, and antibacterial activity of the microfiber films. The microfiber films also exhibited controlled release of PCAs, making them suitable for food packaging applications.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
