Article Abstract

Walnut leaves are rich in phenolic components with antibiotic and antioxidative effects. However, few studies have reported the quantitative analysis of active components in walnut leaf. In this study, a novel method for quantifying the active components in walnut leaves was developed by combining ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) with quantitative analysis of multi-components by a single marker (QAMS). In total, 13 bioactive components were analyzed by a single marker, quercetin. To evaluate the accuracy of this method, an auxiliary quantification method with 13 reference standards was established and validated. The standard method differences (SMDs) of the quantification results between QAMS and the auxiliary method were lower than 20%, indicating that the QAMS method can accurately determine the active components in walnut leaves. This method can provide a reference to address the absence of reference standards for analyzing other foods and herbs.

Background And Aims: We explored whether changes in serum proteomic profiles differed between participants with distinct brain aging trajectories, and whether these changes were influenced by dietary intervention.

Methods: In this secondary analysis of the 18-month DIRECT PLUS trial, 294 participants were randomized to one of three arms: 1) Healthy dietary guidelines (HDG); 2) Mediterranean (MED) diet (+440 mg/day polyphenols from walnuts); or 3) low red/processed meat green-MED diet (+1240 mg/day polyphenols from walnuts, Mankai plant, and green tea). We measured 87 serum proteins (Olink-CVDII).

Background: Tissue-based inguinal hernia repairs (IHRs), such as the Shouldice technique, are an acceptable alternative to mesh-based repairs in appropriately selected patients; however, they are often thought to be more painful than tension free repairs in the early postoperative period. We aimed to compare short-term pain and quality of life (QoL) between the Shouldice and Lichtenstein techniques for IHR.

Methods: The Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC) database was queried for patients who underwent open IHR between January 2017 and April 2023.
