Quality evaluation and lipidomics analysis of salted duck egg yolk under low-salt pickling process.

Lipids play an important role in the salting process of duck eggs. In this research, the low-salt pickling process was employed to salt duck eggs, and the quality parameters, fatty acids and lipidomics were analyzed. The low-salt pickling process maintained the quality of the salted duck egg yolk, and can be regard as a healthy alternative to the traditional curing process. After salting, levels of saturated fatty acid (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acid (MFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) were increased by 57.77%, 41.59%, and 23.20%, respectively. The lipidomics data showed significant differences in 39 lipids in the phospholipid family during the low-salt pickling process of egg yolk (p < 0.05), in which lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) were defined as differential lipid after low-salt pickling, and the levels of LPC and LPE were increased. Thus, phospholipids might be responsible for the unique quality of salted duck egg yolk.

Effects of antihypertensive drugs on renal function after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty / 药学实践杂志

Objective To evaluate the effects of antihypertensive drugs on renal function after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 193 patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and took antihypertensive drugs regularly. Those patients were admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital during January 2020 to December 2020. The patients were divided into ACEI/ARB group, β-blockers, calcium channel blockers and hydration control group. All patients received routine hydration during the perioperative period. The changes of serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) and endogenous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) before and after operation were compared. Results The incidence of CIN was 0% in four groups. Compared with the preoperative, there was no significant change in Scr and Ccr in every group. Except for the hydration control group, the BUN levels in three treated groups were reduced after postoperative. Specifically, the BUN reduction in β-blockers group has statistically significant difference compared to the hydration control group and CCB group. In addition, eGFR levels were significantly reduced in the β-blockers group. Preoperative Scr and Ccr levels in patients with high blood pressure (SBP≥140 or DBP≥90) were significantly different from the patients with normal blood pressure (SBP<140 and DBP<90). Conclusion The use of ACEI/ARB and CCB before percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty had no effect on renal function in the short term. β-blockers can slightly reduce renal function, especially in patients with high blood pressure, who should receive special attention.
