Convenient Heme Nanorod Modified Electrode for Quercetin Sensing by Two Common Electrochemical Methods.

Quercetin (Qu) is one of the most abundant flavonoids in the human diet. High concentrations of Qu can easily cause adverse effects and induce inflammation, joint pain and stiffness. In this study, Heme was used as a sensitive element and deposited and formed nanorods on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the detection of Qu.

Cross-cultural disparities of subjective sleep parameters and their age-related trends over the first three years of human life: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Changes in nighttime sleep consolidation and daytime discontinuation have been observed in early life. Yet information about societal or cultural factors remains scant for implementing sleep recommendations. We aimed to provide pooled estimates of subjective sleep duration, number of nightwakings and sleep timing; to describe their age-related trends; and to determine potential cross-cultural disparities between predominantly-Asian (PA) and predominantly-Caucasian (PC) regions during the first three years of life.

[Effects of captopril on myocardial tissue energy metabolism and inflammation in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy].

Objective: To study the protective mechanism of captopril in diabetic cardiomyopathy by means of DNA microarray.

Methods: Rat models of diabetic cardiomyopathy were divided into test and control groups (n=5), and the rats in the test group were given oral captopril (1.5 mg/kg b.
