Neurotransmitters (NTs) are essential for intercellular communication and primarily include monoamine, amino acid, and cholinergic NTs. These molecules play important roles in the body's stress response, motor coordination, neuronal communication, and homeostatic functions. Previous studies have shown that abnormal changes in NT levels are associated with various neurological disorders.

Methods: Databases and websites were systematically searched to obtain guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. Four independent reviewers used the Guideline Evaluation Tool (AGREE II) to evaluate the included guidelines.

Objectives: To fully assess the quality of the guidelines for the management of malignant pleural effusions (MPE) and ascites and reveal the heterogeneity of recommendations and possible reasons among guidelines.
Methods: A systematic search was performed in the database to obtain guidelines for the management of MPE and ascites. The AGREE IIGtool was used to assess the quality of these guidelines.
A sensitive approach for the simultaneous determination of tilmicosin, erythromycin ethylsuccinate and clindamycin was developed by CE coupled with electrochemiluminescence detection with ionic liquid. The parameters for CE, electrochemiluminescence detection and the effect of ionic liquid were investigated systematically. The three analytes were well separated and detected within 8 min.

Human serum albumin (HSA) was the most abundant protein in human plasma and has significant physiological function. In Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 7.4), water-soluble semiconductor CdSe quantum dots (QDs) reacted with HSA and the products resulted in a great enhancement of the intensity of resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) and second-order scattering (SOS).

The parameters related to separation and detection were investigated in detail. The four macrolides were well separated and detected within 6 min under the optimized conditions.

Gln was found to strongly inhibit the CL signal of the luminol-H(2)O(2)-CuSO(4) system in Na(2)B(4)O(7) solution. A new FI-CL method was developed for the determination of Gln.

Nested PCR and DNA sequencing were used to determine nef sequences in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a distribution of the viral sequences among subtype B, CRF_BC, and CRF_AE, with subtype B accounting for more than half of the genotypes.
