Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSeparation, Purification and Anti-aging Activity of Tobacco PolysaccharidesMengyue Huang, Jingwu Song, Shuaishuai Chang et al.To separate tobacco polysaccharides and investigate their antioxidant and anti-aging properties, crude tobacco polysaccharides were extracted from raw tobacco using hot water, followed by purification through DEAE-52 cellulose column chromatography. The molecular weight and monosaccharide composition of the isolated polysaccharides were analyzed using HPGPC and HPLC. The antioxidant activities of these tobacco polysaccharides were tested using DPPH, ABTS, hydroxyl radicals … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2025 · 5,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Papillomavirus Genotypes in the Korean Older Adult Population Running Head: HPV Genotypes in Korean Older AdultsJieun Hwang, Hee Seung Song et al.In older populations, Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections are likely to reactivate owing to immunocompromised, thereby increasing the risk of cervical and other cancers. However, research on HPV infection in older adults is limited and data on the sex- and age-specific distribution of high-risk HPV types are lacking. Thus, to increase the level of evidence on the extension of cervical cancer … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2024 · 5,007 accessesView PDFCite
