A method was established for the simultaneous detection of 12 prohibited veterinary drugs, including -receptor agonists, nitrofuran metabolites, nitroimidazoles, chlorpromazine, and chloramphenicol, in pig urine. The sample was pretreated by enzymolysis, acid hydrolysis/derivatization, and liquid-liquid extraction combined with solid-phase extraction. Detection was performed using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS).

The aim of the present study was to identify potential candidate blood indicators of doxorubicin-induced heart failure. The gene expression profiles of GSE40447 and GSE9128 microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) using the R/Limma package or GEO2R.

However, the prognostic value of TG/HDL-C ratio in revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) patients remains unclear. We examined the association between TG/HDL-C ratio and clinical outcome of revascularized STEMI patients in the Chinese population.
