TL;DR: A review of the recent findings on mycotoxins in food and feed, with emphasis on aflatoxins, fumonisins, ochratoxins and zearalenone, is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used column chromatography and two rapid-measuring devices (Ebro FOM 310 and Testo 270) to measure the total polar compounds and acid values in both soybean oil and palm olein.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the correlations of components in TTO with its anti-acne activities and skin irritation and found that a concentration less than 5% is more suitable and safer for treating acne than higher concentrations.

TL;DR: In this paper, formaldehyde was derived from 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate free and reversibly bound formaldehyde in 10 squid and squid products.

TL;DR: Both acute and chronic MA use can lead to extreme paranoia, anxiety, and depression, and following discontinuation of MA use, cognitive deficits and anhedonia can persist for months.

TL;DR: The results showed that the blood glucose levels in the diabetic mice were significantly reduced by PCE-C from 15.32 ± 4.38 mM to 5.77 ±-1.46 m mM.

TL;DR: A longterm survey of aflatoxin levels in various kinds of peanut products in Taiwan were surveyed during the recent decade as mentioned in this paper, showing that aflatoxins are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic compounds that contaminate various types of foods and feedstuffs.

TL;DR: Data from a recent randomized controlled comparison of both medications show better treatment retention with methadone but reduced illicit opioid use early in treatment with buprenorphine.

TL;DR: Results of a randomized clinical trial have now confirmed that antiretroviral therapy markedly decreases HIV transmission risk, and Mathematical models and population-based ecologic studies suggest that further expansion of antireTroviral coverage within current guidelines can play a major role in controlling the spread of HIV.

TL;DR: The decreasing trend of heroin users who have been detected and arrested could be due to the introduction of medical treatments and harm reduction approaches for drug users, resulting in fewer drug users being arrested, and there has been an increasing trend in both ATS users and seizures.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the determination of clenbuterol (CLB) concentration in bovine liver by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the antioxidant properties of Ocimum gratissimum extract (OGE) and evaluated its cytoprotective activity against hydrogen peroxide-induced toxicity in human HepG2 cells.

TL;DR: Solid-state fermentation using A. oryzae NCH 42 improves the utilization of extraction residues of Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) and shows that fermentation enhanced the release of functional ingredients from the extracts.

TL;DR: The raw materials of a variety of herbal medicines were measured using nondestructive near-infrared spectroscopy with soft independent modeling of class analogy to build up the classification model and adulterated samples could be eliminated by the analysis of the model.

TL;DR: A growing number of studies during the past two decades show dynamic and still evolving twin epidemics of SUDs and HIV in Vietnam, including a shift from consumption of opium to heroin and amphetamine-type stimulants, the concurrent use of drugs and the increasing embrace by the government of internationally recognized effective responses.

TL;DR: Results showed that eight sea- horse species were present in the Taiwan TCM market and Knysna seahorse (Hippocampus capensis) has an endangered status according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List.

TL;DR: In this paper, smoke condensates from three major smoking ingredients used for traditional Chinese smoked large yellow croaker and chicken were obtained in a laboratory and seven main peaks were detected using chemical standards and 73 compounds were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

TL;DR: In this paper, Wu et al. found that SNPs on CYP2B6 were associated with plasma S-methadone concentration, SNPs in the liver CYtochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes that are involved with the metabolism of methadone are associated with withdrawal symptom scores.

TL;DR: It is revealed that chronic fructose intake may facilitate IR and oxidative damage, which could be eradicated by improved antioxidant status, and C. javanica treatment significantly improved the antioxidant enzyme activities, including superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutATHione reductase in the liver.

TL;DR: This study discovered that Sanguisorba officinalis extract (SOE) has anti-HIV-1 properties and demonstrates SOE as a novel and specific entry inhibitor, which sheds light on the discovery of anti-hiv-1 drugs from traditional herbal medicines.

TL;DR: It is predicted that ketamine and “designer drugs”, such as phenylalkylamines and synthetic cannabinoids, might remain popular among drug users in Taiwan from 1999 to 2011.

TL;DR: The PBS extracts of G. amansii gel activated the macrophage by enhancing the production of immune mediators, whereas the ethanol extracts showed anti-inflammatory activities by suppressing the cytokine production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages.

TL;DR: In this article, the volatile components of calamondin peel or whole fruit were identified by direct injection coupled with gas chromatography-flame ionization detector, and the results showed that hot water treatment increased the yields of essential oils from both peel and whole fruit.

TL;DR: Increased botulism FBDOs in 2001–2010 had been effectively controlled and reduced after governmental policy intervention, however, natural toxin-associated FBD Os are of concern as they can be fatal, especially the outbreaks associated with eating pufferfish by mistake.

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to review the current status of drug use and HIV/AIDS prevention for drug users in China and provide scientific evidence for HIV/ AIDS prevention and control in drug users.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rapid flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method was established for the determination of doxorubicin, which was based on the phenomenon that the intensity of the reaction between K 3 Fe(CN) 6 and luminol in alkaline solution could be strongly enhanced by DOXORUBICIN.

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of ivabradine in various chromatographic systems was evaluated using thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and the Soczewinski-Snyder equation.
