Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of refining, cationic starch addition, and cellulosic nanofibers (CNF) generated from old corrugated containers (OCC) on the physical properties of recycled paper. The results showed that refining and the interaction between cationic starch and CNF significantly improved the tensile index (TI). The addition of CNF and cationic starch also increased the retention of the pulp stock, without greatly affecting the drainage rate. This study suggests that CNF from OCC can be combined with cationic starch to improve the properties of recycled paper.

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.
