Background: Chronic gingivostomatitis in cats (FCGS) is a moderately to severely painful condition, potentially caused by inadequate immune response to oral antigenic stimulation. Salivary peptidome analysis can identify inflammatory protein mediators and pathways involved in oral mucosal immune activation and may indicate potential therapeutic options for FCGS.
Objective: Evaluate the diversity and abundance of salivary peptides in cats with FCGS using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and nanoscale liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano LC-MS/MS).

Hemoglobin and red blood cells (erythrocytes) have been studied extensively from the perspective of life and biomedical sciences. However, no analysis of hemoglobin and red blood cells from the perspective of chemical thermodynamics has been reported in the literature. Such an analysis would provide an insight into their structure and turnover from the aspect of biothermodynamics and bioenergetics.

We report a novel mutation on α2-globin gene leading to an elongated α-chain. This novel frameshift mutation was detected in a 13-year-old boy from Balkh province, Afghanistan. DNA analysis identified an insertion of thymine (T) at codon 132 [:c.

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic degenerative bone metabolic disease that primarily affects older adults, leading to chronic pain and disability that affect patients' daily activities. Electroacupuncture (EA) is a commonly used method for the treatment of chronic pain in clinical practice. Previous studies indicate that the endocannabinoid system is involved in EA analgesia, but whether endocannabinopeptide VD-hemopressin (α) and RVD-hemopressin (α) derived from hemoglobin chains are involved in EA analgesia is unclear.

Introduction: Thalassemia and haemoglobinopathies are relatively common among Malaysians. One of the rare haemoglobinopathies reported is Haemoglobin (Hb) Arya, which occurs due to substitution of aspartic acid at residue 47 of the alpha chain by asparagine. Here, we report the detection of Hb Arya in a Malaysian family, which was detected incidentally during family screening.
