A HPLC method for determination of trans-resveratrol concentrations in rat plasma was developed. Plasma samples were treated with acetonitrile to deposit proteins. The analysis used a Hypersil ODS(2) C(18) column (5 microm, 4.6 mm x 250 mm) and methanol/distilled water as the mobile phase (flow-rate=1 mL/min). The UV detection wavelength was 303 nm, and chlorzoxazone was used as the internal standard. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.02-40 microg/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9997. This concentration range corresponds well with the plasma concentrations of resveratrol in pharmacokinetic studies. There was 98.7%, 91.3% and 84.4% recovery from 0.02, 0.4 and 40 microg/mL plasma samples respectively. The R.S.D. of intra- and inter-day assay variations were all less than 12%. This HPLC assay is a quick, precise and reliable method for the analysis of resveratrol in pharmacokinetic studies.

Tendon injuries present significant medical, social, and economic challenges globally. Despite advancements in tendon injury repair techniques, outcomes remain suboptimal due to inferior tissue quality and functionality. Tissue engineering offers a promising avenue for tendon regeneration, with biocompatible scaffolds playing a crucial role.

Fluorine is a strong oxidizing element and excessive intake can have harmful effects, particularly on the body's calcified tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated a link between miRNA and fluorosis. This study aimed to evaluate the time-dose-effect relationship of miR-200c-3p in plasma, urine and cartilage of rats with drinking water fluorosis, and to explore its potential as a biomarker.

Background: Impaired interstitial fluid drainage in the brain is indicated by the presence of perivascular β-amyloid (Aβ) deposits and is attributed to alterations in contractility and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The brain microvasculature in Alzheimer disease (AD) accumulates amyloid-forming amylin secreted from the pancreas. Here, we tested the hypothesis that cerebrovascular amylin deposits perturbs cerebral Aβ efflux by impairing cerebral vasodilation.
