This study aimed to compare biogenic amines (BAs), volatile nitrosamines (VNAs) and chemical properties of Chinese smoked-cured bacon (Larou) from industrial and artisanal sources. The results indicated that nitrite residues were low in artisanal Larou, whereas the salt content was relatively high in all samples. The family-made Larou accumulated high levels of BAs and probably present a health risk. Additionally, phenylethylamine exceeded 30 mg/kg in 4 out of 5 industrial Larou samples, whereas, 9 VNAs concentrations were low and unlikely to induce adverse health effects on consumers. Principal component analysis revealed that the industrial Larou products had similar safety properties in terms of BAs and VNAs content when compared to the family-made samples. Correlation analysis indicated that BAs and VNAs were significantly correlated with free amino acids, , pH and NaCl, respectively. This study suggests that the quality of Larou needs to be further improved by reducing salt and BAs content.

Blepharospasm (BSP) is a common focal movement disorder linked to the basal ganglia and plasma catecholamines (CAs). This study aimed to analyze clinical characteristics of BSP patients and explore the relationship with plasma CAs. Clinical characteristics, clinician-rated scales, and plasma CAs were recorded, including dopamine (DA), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT), and the 3-MT/DA ratio.

Gastrin is secreted following a rise in gastric pH, leading to gastric acid secretion. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG), a bariatric surgery where 80% of the gastric corpus is excised, presents a challenge for gastric pH homeostasis. Using histology, and single-cell RNA sequencing of the gastric epithelium in 12 women, we observed that SG is associated with an increase in a sub-population of acid-secreting parietal cells that overexpress respiratory enzymes and an increase in histamine-secreting enterochromaffin-like cells (ECLs).

Background: Reliable and selective detection of dopamine is crucial for the early diagnosis of various diseases. Transition metal based-nanozymes have shown great promise in the field of colorimetric detection of dopamine due to their remarkable stability and exceptional catalytic efficiency. However, these transition metal-based nanozymes typically function through a chromogenic reaction that relies on additional organic substrates, such as 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, to generate a detectable signal.

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.
