Fatty liver disease (FLD) is reversible disease and can be treated, if it is identified at an early stage. However, if diagnosed at the later stage, it can progress to an advanced liver disease such as cirrhosis which may ultimately lead to death. Therefore, it is essential to detect it at an early stage before the disease progresses to an irreversible stage. Several non-invasive computer-aided...

Wastewater samples collected from two sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Guangzhou, China were acidified, solid-phase extracted (SPE) with Oasis HLB cartridges, followed by instrumental measurement by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with a diode array UV detector (DAD) and a fluorescence detector (FLD) for the occurrence and fate of antimicrobial compounds sulfadiazine (SDZ...

KEYWORD: bisphenol A; immune-affinity column; high-performance liquid chromatography ABSTRACT: A rapid and sensitive method using immuno-affinity columns (IACs) as sample purification procedure and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) tandem fluorescence detector (FLD) for detection has been developed for the determination of bisphenol A (BPA) in beer. The limit of detection (LOD) is 0...

Major types of internal can coatings used for food and beverages are made from synthetic polymers known as epoxy-based resins, mainly based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE). The migration components to is a concern safety. multiresidue method was developed the identification quantification six bisphenols, BADGE its derivatives, cyclo-di-BADGE in sixteen canned samples HPLC-FLD. showed ex...

This paper presents a validation test of the flux-limited diffusion (FLD) approximation for radiation hydrodynamics in the intermediate optical depth regime. We use an implementation of FLD in the ZEUS-2D astrophysical fluid dynamics code and the results of a set of laser-driven radiative shock experiments. One-dimensional simulations are performed to explore grid spacing and time step converge...

This paper investigates the association between a range of corporate governance mechanisms and forward-looking disclosure (FLD) in a low information environment: the Chinese stock markets. It finds that the implementation of certain monitoring and control mechanisms, such as financial expertise on audit committees and independent directors on the board of directors, can improve the extent of FL...

Alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are representative types of fatty liver disease (FLD) and have similar histologic features. In this study, we aimed to compare the associations of the two FLD types with hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DL). A nationwide survey investigating FLD status included 753 Japanese subjects (median age 5...

abstract: in this study, an analytical method is developed to determine 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in olive and refined pomace olive oils using hplc coupled with a fluorescence detector. the standardised method of ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction consisted of liquid–liquid extraction with organic solvent and purification on c18 and florisil bonded-phase cartridges was modi...

A comprehensive evaluation of the recently developed Fraunhofer line depth (FLD) and laser-induced saturation pulse (FLD-LISP) method was conducted to measure chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) parameters of the quantum yield of photosystem II (ΦPSII), non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), and the photosystem II-based electron transport rate (ETR) in three plant species including paprika (C3 plant), ...
