A prospective randomized study was performed to investigate the effect of surface coating with covalently endpoint-attached heparin (Carmeda Bio Active Surface) and reduced general heparinization on haematological indices and complement C5 activation. Care was taken to optimize the rheological design of the system using centrifugal pump and a closed system without venting or machine suction. Twenty patients scheduled for aortocoronary bypass grafting (EF > 0.5) participated in the study. Ten patients were randomized to be treated with heparin-coated equipment (CBAS) and reduced i.v. heparin (1.5 mg.kg-1) while 10 patients treated with identical but noncoated equipment and full heparinization (3 mg.kg-1) served in a Control group. A vacuum suction was used to collect the blood from the operating field and it was autotransfused at weaning from extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Blood samples were obtained from the venous (precircuit) and arterial (postcircuit) side. We used a new and very specific method for detection of C5a based on monoclonal antibodies. The concentration of C5a was low in both groups during the operation but a significant increase was seen on days 1 and 2. In the Control group there was an increase from 10.2 ng.ml-1 +/- 1.2 to 27.5 ng.ml-1 +/- 4.8 on day 2 and in the CBAS group from 10.7 ng.ml-1 +/- 1.2 to 35.6 ng.ml-1 +/- 11.6 on day 2 (NS between groups). The granulocytes and total leukocyte count increased at the end of ECC and was maintained at the elevated level throughout the study period. The amount of free haemoglobin was high in the autotransfused blood in both groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

: Despite the known impact of propofol and remifentanil on hemodynamics and patient outcomes, there is a lack of comprehensive quantitative analysis, particularly in surgical settings, considering the influence of noxious stimuli. The aim of this study was to develop a quantitative semi-mechanistic population model that characterized the time course changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) due to the effects of propofol, remifentanil, and different types of noxious stimulation related to the clinical routine. : Data from a prospective study were used; the study analyzed the effects of propofol and remifentanil general anesthesia on female patients in physical status of I-II according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA I-II) undergoing gynecology surgery.

Shenhua compound, composed of ginseng, hawthorn and sophora flower, has been shown to improve hyperlipidemia. However, the main ingredients, their metabolic pathways in vivo, and pharmacokinetic characteristics. In this study, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF) was used to qualitatively analyze the main ingredients in ethanol extract of Shenhua compound and to investigate the metabolites in serum, bile, feces, and urine of rats following oral administration.

Article Synopsis
- Sulfadimethoxine (SDM), a common veterinary drug, poses potential risks to human health, leading to the need for efficient detection methods.
- A novel biosensor was developed using a dual recognition mode that combines inner filter effect (IFE) and innovative materials to identify SDM in aquatic samples quickly and sensitively.
- This biosensor demonstrated an effective detection range (0.5-1000 ng/mL) with a low limit of detection (0.13 ng/mL) and high recovery rates (88.41-96.78%) in tested water samples, highlighting its potential for practical use.

Bile acid (BA) is one of the main active components of bile and has multiple isomers, the structure or content of its isomers often changes due to diseases and other health problems; thus, the accurate detection of BA isomers is very important. In this study, two groups of BA isomers of glycine-conjugated BAs and taurine-conjugated BAs were simultaneously separated and quantitatively analyzed by ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS). Especially, baseline mobility separation between the isomers was achieved by the formation of binary complexes via simple interaction with spiramycin (SPM), for which a separation resolution (R) of 1.

Article Synopsis
- Some biomarkers like C-reactive protein (CRP), smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SmMHC), and D-dimer (D-D) can help diagnose acute aortic dissection (AAD), but traditional measurement methods are complicated and costly.
- A new smartphone-based multichannel magnetoelastic (ME) immunosensing device was developed to make monitoring of these biomarkers easier and more accessible for patients, allowing for real-time self-examination.
- The device showed high sensitivity and accuracy in detecting protein levels compared to advanced lab equipment, making it a promising tool for AAD diagnosis.
