Background: As neuropeptide Y is associated with endothelial dysfunction, this study explored the relationship between neuropeptide Y and acute myocardial infarction.
Methods: We included 128 acute myocardial infarction cases and 62 controls. Using the SYNTAX scoring system, the acute myocardial infarction group was sub-grouped into "SYNTAX ≤ 22," "SYNTAX = 23-32," and "SYNTAX ≥ 33.
Two-dimension graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with high and low serum protein binding profiles (high/low hard-bound protein corona/HC) are used in this study as model materials and screening tools to investigate the underlying roles of the protein corona on nanomaterial toxicities . We proposed that the biocompatibility/nanotoxicity of GO is protein corona-dependent and host immunity-dependent. The hypothesis was tested by injecting HC GO nanosheets in immunocompetent ICR/CD1 and immunodeficient NOD- mice and performed histopathological and hematological evaluation studies on days 1 and 14 post-injection.

A gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(GC-MS) method was established for the simultaneous determination of eleven volatile components in Cinnamomi Oleum and the chemical pattern recognition was utilized to evaluate the quality of essential oil obtained from Cinnamomi Fructus medicinal materials in various habitats. The Cinnamomi Fructus medicinal materials were treated by water distillation, analyzed using GC-MS, and detected by selective ion monitoring(SIM), and the internal standards were used for quantification. The content results of Cinnamomi Oleum from various batches were analyzed by hierarchical clustering analysis(HCA), principal component analysis(PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) for the statistic analysis.

In the present study, the excretion of four active components(qingyangshengenin, deacylmetaplexigenin, baishouwu benzophenone, and scopoletin) in Cynanchum auriculatum extract in the urine and feces of normal and functional dyspepsia(FD) rats was investigated. Rats were divided into a normal group and an FD model group. The FD model was induced by oral administration of ice hydrochloric acid combined with irregular feeding.
