Micro-electrochemical probe mass spectrometry (μECP-MS) is demonstrated as a method for the direct profiling of chemical composition of bulk alloy samples without tedious sample pretreatment. The spatial distribution of Zn and Cu components of a Cu/Zn alloy sample was successively identified by scanning the electrolysis potential from -0.6 V to 0.6 V. The lateral resolution of alloy chemical profiling was ≤10 μm, and the depth resolution was ≤0.5 nm. Besides metal components, the method also allows the simultaneous detection of organic molecules on the sample surface. The limit of detection for Rhodamine B, Zn, and Cu depositions was 4.47, 9.58, and 24.25 ag per μm, respectively. The method is particularly useful for high-throughput (<2 min per single run) quality monitoring of industrial parts and conductive materials of irregular geometries, such as alloy, microchips, solder side, etc.

Introduction: The liver is essential for both the body's removal of waste materials and the metabolism of nutrients, it is critical for sustaining general health. However, a number of factors, including viral infections, immune system malfunctions, cancer, alcohol intake, and drug toxicity, are contributing to the rising prevalence of liver problems. Alternative approaches to liver disease treatment are being investigated due to the potential limitations of conventional medical treatments.

The traditional use of plants of the Cinnamomum genus dates back to traditional Eastern medicine for millennia and they have also been used in Western integrative medicine practices, especially for their anti-inflammatory activity. In the context of chemical diversity, the absolute majority of species in this genus have cinnamaldehyde as the majority component, which in turn holds the title of the active ingredient, whose biological effect profile has already been demonstrated in numerous experiments in acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. In this context, the objective of this research was to investigate how cinnamaldehyde can influence inflammatory phenomena.

Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can potently inhibit inflammation yet there is a lack of understanding about the impact of donor characteristics on the efficacy of EVs. The goal of this study was to determine whether the sex and age of donor platelet-derived EVs (PEV) affected their ability to inhibit viral myocarditis.
Methods: PEV, isolated from men and women of all ages, was compared to PEV obtained from women under 50 years of age, which we termed premenopausal PEV (pmPEV).
