Amygdalin and exercise training exert a synergistic effect in improving cardiac performance and ameliorating cardiac inflammation and fibrosis in a rat model of myocardial infarction.

This study investigated the effects of amygdalin (AMY, a cyanogenic glycoside widely distributed in the fruits and seeds of plants) on cardiac performance and ventricular remodeling in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). We also investigated whether the combination of AMY with exercise training (ExT) has a beneficial synergistic effect in treating MI rats. MI was induced by the ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in male SD rats.

Spatial-temporal features-based EEG emotion recognition using graph convolution network and long short-term memory.

. Emotion recognition on the basis of electroencephalography (EEG) signals has received a significant amount of attention in the areas of cognitive science and human-computer interaction (HCI). However, most existing studies either focus on one-dimensional EEG data, ignoring the relationship between channels, or only extract time-frequency features while not involving spatial features.

Cardioprotective effects of sinomenine in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model.

Background: Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) play an imperative role in the expansion of cardiovascular disease. Sinomenine (SM) has been exhibited to possess antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties. The aim of the study was scrutinized the cardioprotective effect of SM against I/R injury in rat.

A critical review on energy recovery and non-hazardous disposal of oily sludge from petroleum industry by pyrolysis.

This review systematically reports the pyrolysis of oily sludge (OS) from petroleum industry in regards to its dual features of the energy recovery potential and the environmental risks. The petroleum hydrocarbons are the nonbiodegradable fractions in OS that possess hazardous properties, i.e.

Hazardous elements flow during pyrolysis of oily sludge.

Oily sludge (OS) is a hazardous waste and pyrolysis is a promising technology to achieve energy recovery and non-hazardous disposal simultaneously. However, the distribution of hazardous elements, including N/S/Cl and heavy metals, in pyrolytic products possibly causes secondary pollution. This study conducted a systematic research on hazardous elements flow during OS pyrolysis under variant temperature.
