    Abstract The effects of postharvest ripening of corn on the mechanisms of starch and protein interactions were investigated using molecular dynamics and several chemical substances. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) treatment all significantly affected the starch content, molecular weight of proteins, relative crystallinity, pasting characteristics and dynamic viscoelasticity in samples before and after postharvest ripening. In the corn that had not undergone postharvest ripening, there were also significant electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds between starch and protein. In addition, molecular dynamics had demonstrated that the forces between starch and protein in corn were mainly hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interaction, and hydrogen bonds. Compared with zein, corn glutelin was more tightly bound to starch. The binding energy of starch to both proteins was reduced in after postharvest-ripened corn. This study laid a rationale for investigating the change mechanism of corn postharvest ripening quality and improving processing property and edible quality of corn.

    Abstract Objective: This survey aimed to better comprehend the factors influencing patient response to insomnia treatment.
    Methods: We conducted an online survey. A total of 1,395 patients completed the questionnaire at baseline. Insomnia, anxiety and depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder assessment (GAD-7) and 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), respectively. A total of 488 patients completed at least two surveys (baseline and monthly surveys thereafter) and reported that the online CBT was effective at the 1-year follow-up. The 488 patients were divided into three groups: the rapid (treatment effective at 4 weeks), intermediate (4-16 weeks), and delayed-response group (over 16 weeks).
    Results: Analysis of the demographic characteristics of the 488 patients did not reveal significant sex differences among the three groups (
    Conclusion: Many factors affected the efficiency of insomnia treatment. Male sex, junior school education, and a high PSQI score predicted delayed response to insomnia treatment.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated the impact of fluctuating water levels on the distribution of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in soil and sediments at a historical Pb-Zn smelting site along the Xiangjiang River. Despite the high pH levels (7 to 11) in the study area, which generally inhibits heavy metal solubility, we found that regular changes in water levels still affect Pb-Zn movement. Soil analysis revealed distinct redox zones within the unconfined aquifer, as shown by the variable Fe/Mn and Ce/Ce* ratios. Advanced techniques such as Mn K-edge XAFS, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and TOF-SIMS indicated persistent Fe-Mn redox cycling and highlighted the presence of Pb and Zn-rich manganese oxides near sulfur-bearing minerals. These findings suggest that acidic microzones produced by the oxidation of sulfur-bearing minerals become "refuges" for microbial and heavy metal activity. Considering that sulfur-containing minerals are widespread waste types in nonferrous metal smelting sites, these findings are instructive for a better understanding of the transformation mechanisms of heavy metal ions in nonferrous metal smelting-polluted environments and for guiding pollution remediation strategies.

    Abstract Soluble dietary fiber (SDF), which is a component of dietary fibers exhibit many physiological functions, biological activity, and good gel forming ability. In this study, extraction of SDF from corn bran was evaluated using twin-screw extrusion and ultrasonic treatment and the combinations of the respective methods with dual enzyme hydrolysis. The monosaccharide compositions, molecular weight, physicochemical properties, and structural and functional characteristics were determined. The results showed that ultrasonic and twin-extrusion treatments significantly increased the SDF content from 2.42 to 4.58 and 6.54%, respectively. Dual enzyme hydrolysis further increased the SDF content. Modification treatment changed the monosaccharide composition, improved physicochemical and functional properties, such as water and oil holding capacity, nitrite adsorption, and antioxidative ability. In conclusion, physical modification combined with enzyme treatment distinctly improved the extraction yield, physicochemical and functional properties of SDF. Therefore, the modified SDF is suitable as a functional food additive.

    Abstract In this study, the effects of various concentrations (1%, 2%, 3%, 5%) soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) from corn bran on the pasting, rheological, and thermal properties and the microstructure of corn starch (CS) are investigated. The findings show that the addition of dietary fiber inhibits the short‐term retrogradation of starch and decreases the relaxation time of weakly bound water. The SDF and IDF reduce endothermic enthalpy from 11.79 to 8.81 and 8.80 (J g⁻¹), respectively (p < 0.05). The addition of SDF significantly inhibits the gelatinization of starch (p < 0.05), which reduces viscosity during CS pasting. In addition, 5% of SDF significantly (p < 0.05) reduces the wavenumber ratio value (1047 cm–¹/1022 cm–¹) from 0.906 to 0.861 and decreases the strength of the CS gel from 653.29 to 75.66. The CS‐SDF gel shows a sheet‐like network structure, while in the CS‐IDF gel, IDF is embedded in a network structure. This research further expands the understanding of the interaction between dietary fiber and starch during processing and allows the improvement of high dietary fiber product quality.
