Article Synopsis
  • Toxoplasma gondii is a significant protozoan parasite affecting human and animal health, and there's limited knowledge on metabolic changes through non-invasive biofluid analysis.
  • Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and statistical methods, researchers analyzed urine from mice infected with T. gondii to identify alterations in metabolites.
  • The study found over 2000 metabolites in infected mice, revealing distinct metabolic profiles that highlight changes in amino acid and fatty acid metabolism, providing insights into toxoplasmosis pathogenesis and potential treatment improvements.

Objective: To explore the effects of trimetazidine therapy on left ventricular (LV) function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: A total of 106 patients with unstable angina pectoris underwent successful elective PCI were randomly assigned to standard therapy group (control, n = 55) or trimetazidine group (n = 51, 60 mg trimetazidine loading dose prior to PCI followed by 20 mg Tid after PCI on top of standard therapy). cTnI level was measured before and at 16-18 hours after PCI.

Virus isolate G2 was isolated from tomato plants showing leaf curl symptoms in Guangdong. The complete nucleotide sequence of G2 DNA-A was determined to be 2744 nucleotides encoding six potential ORFs, with two (AV1 and AV2) in virus sense and four (AC1, AC2, AC3 and AC4) in complementary sense. G2 DNA-A has a typical characteristics of Begomovirus genome organization.
