Ultrasound treatment significantly accelerated hydrolysis by creating cavitation, which increases local pressure and temperature, leading to faster reaction rates. The optimal condition was a 30-minute treatment at 90 °C with 6 M hydrochloric acid. The 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl chloride derivatization was best performed at pH 9.0 using borate buffer, ethanol as the organic solvent, and a 5-minute derivatization time with a 5 mM concentration. The method’s analytical performance, validated according to FDA guidelines, showed excellent selectivity, specificity, linearity (r<sup>2</sup> > 0.999), accuracy (recovery between 80–118 %), and precision (RSD<10.9). The analysis of 15 plant-based proteins revealed distinct amino acid profiles. Compared to traditional acid hydrolysis methods, the ultrasound-assisted approach demonstrated no significant difference in results (p-value > 0.05), confirming its reliability. The optimized ultrasound-assisted method is a reliable and efficient alternative for amino acid analysis, offering significant cost and time savings while maintaining high analytical performance. These findings are crucial for nutritional planning and developing functional foods to improve health outcomes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":442,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics Sonochemistry","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 107082"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142327222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review incorporated degradation information from 44 studies organizing data according to compound class and ionic strength to analyze the impact of inorganic salts on cavitation bubble dynamics, contaminant behavior, radical species generation, and contaminant degradation. Frequency and salt type were assessed for potential roles in contaminant degradation. The analysis showed that high intensity ultrasound was most beneficial to degradation in salt solutions. Unexpectedly, hydrophilic compounds showed marked enhancement with increasing ionic strength while many hydrophobic compounds did not benefit as greatly.

Renal carcinoma cell lines ACHN and TOS-1 were used in an <em>in vitro</em> study to analyze the impact of shock waves on two membrane glycosphingolipid antigens, MSGG and G1, respectively. Focused shock waves were generated using a partial spherical piezoceramic dish. Flow-cytometric analysis of treated cells immediately after 1,000 focused shock waves at 16 MPa overpressure showed a 29.4 % and 17.6 % decrease in MSGG and G1 antigens on the cell surfaces. In the immunostaining of glycosphingolipid fractions on thin-layer chromatography (TLC), both tumor markers were reduced by an average of 49.30 % (MSGG) and 57.08 % (G1). Immunoelectron microscopy images confirmed decrease in the cell membrane intensity immediately after shock waves because of the release of antigens into the extracellular spaces. The released antigens were primarily found on cell debris formed by shock waves and cavitation induced damage to the cell membrane. Theoretical analyses were performed to understand antigen release mechanisms. Moreover, the biophysical events that occurred following the interaction of a shock wave with a suspended cell were modeled and clarified. A novel model was used to calculate the tensile stresses following shock waves and to explain the deformations observed in scanning electron microscopy images. The release of tumor antigens by focused shock waves and inertial cavitation represents exciting prospects for advancing cancer care strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":442,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasonics Sonochemistry","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 107078"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142338677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The large eddy simulation method was employed to calculate the cavitation morphology under three different cavitation numbers. The method is highly consistent with the experimental results in simulating the small-scale detachment at the tail of unstable sheet cavitation and the large-scale shedding of cloud cavitation.
