Identification of Novel Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis of Atherosclerosis Using High-Resolution Metabolomics.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a metabolic disorder and the pre-stage of several cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, stroke, and angina pectoris. Early detection of AS can provide the opportunity for effective management and better clinical results, along with the prevention of further progression of the disease. In the current study, an untargeted and targeted metabolomic approach was used to identify possible metabolic signatures that have altered levels in AS patients.

Dissipation pattern and safety assessment of fenazaquin and metaflumizone in butterbur ().

This study was conducted to investigate the residual behavior and safety assessment of fenazaquin and metaflumizone in butterbur. The samples were periodically harvested, extracted using QuEChERS method, and determined by LC-MS/MS. The linearity of matrix-matched calibration curve was ≥0.

Residues and Safety Assessment of Cyantraniliprole and Indoxacarb in Wild Garlic ().

In this study, the residual behavior and safety of cyantraniliprole and indoxacarb applied to wild garlic () were investigated. Samples were harvested after treatments of 0, 3, 7, and 14 days, then were prepared and extracted following the QuEChERS method and analyzed by UPLC-MS/MS. The linearity ( ≥ 0.

Residual characteristics and safety assessment of the insecticides spiromesifen and chromafenozide in lettuce and perilla.

This study was performed to investigate the residual characteristics, safety assessment, and pre-harvest interval (PHI) of spiromesifen and chromafenozide in lettuce (Latuca sativa L.) and perilla (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton) leaves.

Occurrence and Concentration of Chemical Additives in Consumer Products in Korea.

As the variety of chemicals used in consumer products (CPs) has increased, concerns about human health risk have grown accordingly. Even though restrictive guidelines and regulations have taken place to minimize the risks, human exposure to these chemicals and their eco-compatibility has remained a matter of greater scientific concern over the years. A major challenge in understanding the reality of the exposure is the lack of available information on the increasing number of ingredients and additives in the products.
