Analysis of Platelet Morphological Parameters as Clinical Risk Stratification in Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Background: Platelet activation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Platelet morphological parameters, including MPV, PDW, and P-LCR, are emerging as biomarkers for predicting the severity of ACS and prognosis.

Aims: This study aims to assess the relationship between these parameters and coronary severity and to evaluate their predicting adverse outcomes.

Giant KASH proteins and ribosomes synergistically establish cytoplasmic biophysical properties .

Unlabelled: Understanding how cells control their biophysical properties during development remains a fundamental challenge. While cytoplasmic macromolecular crowding affects multiple cellular processes in single cells, its regulation in living animals remains poorly understood. Using genetically encoded multimeric nanoparticles for rheology, we discovered that tissues maintain distinct cytoplasmic biophysical properties that differ from those observed across diverse systems, including bacteria, yeast species, and cultured mammalian cells.

A double cross-linked film based on carboxymethyl chitosan binding with L-cysteine/ oxidized konjac glucomannan with slow-release of nisin for food preservation.

In order to address the issue of food contamination by microorganisms and effectively harness the antibacterial properties of nisin, we attempted to incorporate nisin into natural polymer films while addressing its inherent instability. An antibacterial food packaging film based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CCS) binding with L-cysteine (CYS) and oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKG) was developed through both Schiff base reaction and addition reaction of thiol aldehyde. To analyze the effect of addition reaction of thiol aldehyde on the CCS-CYS/OKG films' physicochemical properties, the CCS-CYS was prepared with different CYS combination rates, which were further used to fabricate composite films.

SLC13A2 promotes hepatocyte metabolic remodeling and liver regeneration by enhancing de novo cholesterol biosynthesis.

Metabolic requirements of dividing hepatocytes are prerequisite for liver regeneration after injury. In contrast to transcriptional dynamics during liver repair, its metabolic dependencies remain poorly defined. Here, we screened metabolic genes differentially regulated during liver regeneration, and report that SLC13A2, a transporter for TCA cycle intermediates, is decreased in rapid response to partial hepatectomy in mice and recovered along restoration of liver mass and function.

Rapid determination of etomidate and its structural analogues in e-liquid by probe electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Etomidate and its structural analogues, which have anesthetic effects, are classified as controlled psychotropic drugs. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have become more and more popular. With the increase of adding etomidate and its analogues to electronic liquids (e-liquids), there is a trend of abuse, which is a tough problem urgently need to be solved.
