President-Elect Trump: Is the Past Prologue?

There is worldwide interest and concern over the pending US Presidency of Donald Trump. This article recounts the experience of the author and entrepreneur Merv Griffin with Trump in his business career and suggests clues for examining his exercise of the power of the Presidency. His choices for his cabinet and his advisers may well determine his success or failure. The evidence thus far is troubling.     

心肌缺血-致命性心动过缓血清代谢特征分析

目的探讨心肌缺血-致命性心动过缓大鼠血清代谢特征。方法制作心肌缺血-心动过缓-死亡(myocardial ischemia-bradycardia-sudden cardiac death,MI-B-SCD)大鼠模型,以假手术组为对照组,应用气相色谱质谱联用仪检测死后血清代谢谱,结合代谢组学策略分析血清代谢特征。结果 MI-B-SCD大鼠血清代谢轮廓与对照差异显著。与假手术组相比,MI-B-SCD大鼠血清赖氨酸、鸟氨酸、嘌呤、丝氨酸、丙氨酸、尿素、乳酸含量明显升高;琥珀酸、棕榈酸、酮己二酸、甘油醛、己烯二酸、辛二酸含量明显下降,其中多种差异代谢物之间存在相关性。结论 MI-B-SCD大鼠血清代谢显著改变,赖氨酸与嘌呤有较高的诊断MI-B-SCD价值,可望为心源性猝死的法医鉴定及临床防治提供参考。
