An accurate and sensitive method for trace quantification of three biogenic amines in expired apple juice samples based on reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) with UV-visible detection is described. Biogenic amines including cadaverine, histamine, and tyramine, were converted to their acetylacetone derivatives in water-methanol medium. The proposed method involves a pre-column derivatization of species followed by RP-HPLC separation with Thermo Hypersil Gold reversed-phase column and UV detection at 315 nm. A flow rate of 0.9 mL min-1 was used in the proposed method. An efficient separation of biogenic amines was successfully performed in 11 min with a good resolution using 35:65% (v/v) acetonitrile-water mixture as the mobile phase. Detection limits of 0.03, 0.23, and 0.08 ∆g L-1 were obtained for cadaverine, histamine and tyramine, respectively. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the analysis of two different commercially available expired apple juice samples. Recovery rates between 98.78 and 102.12% were obtained with an RSD of 0.16-1.65% for the analysis of 20 mL of expired apple juice samples indicating that the recoveries of biogenic amines were very satisfactory.

Introduction: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is associated with poor quality of life and mortality in patients with tumors. In clinical practice, we observed that patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and concurrent heart disease exhibited a decrease in MPE volumes following treatment with β-receptor blockers for heart disease. Immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment was found to play a substantial role in the progression of MPE, and mainly attributed to tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).

The historical appreciation of tea dates back to ancient times, while technological limitations have long hindered in-depth exploration of its flavor complexity and functional attributes. This study investigated the effects of various teas on a traditional delicacy, "tea-flavored fish", using teas processed via traditional methods. Analysis of functional components revealed that processing and fermentation reduced catechin levels (186.

Background: Chronic post-thoracotomy pain (CPTP) is characterized by high incidence, long duration, and severity of pain. Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a brain region closely associated with chronic pain, and norepinephrine is involved in pain regulation. But the role of mPFC norepinephrine in CPTP and its possible mechanism is unclear.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is among the most common mental disorders worldwide and is characterized by dysregulated reward processing associated with anhedonia. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the first-line treatment for MDD; however, their onset of action is delayed. Recent reports have shown that serotonin neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) are activated by rewards and play a vital role in reward processing.

The co-existence and co-transmission of neuropeptides and small molecule neurotransmitters within individual neuron represent a fundamental characteristic observed across various species. However, the differences regarding their in vivo spatiotemporal dynamics and underlying molecular regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we develop a GPCR-activation-based (GRAB) sensor for detecting short neuropeptide F (sNPF) with high sensitivity and spatiotemporal resolution.
