The column temperature was controlled at 30°C.

In this study, our objective was to develop an enzyme-assisted extraction method for the precise measurement of vitamin K and its derivatives. Our methodology involved mixing 450 µL of serum samples with 50 µL of an internal standard and 50 µL of a lipase enzyme solution. Following vortexing, the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 15 min to activate the enzymes. The enzyme reaction was subsequently quenched with a mixture of 250 µL of methanol and 1 mL of hexane, followed by centrifugation at 12,000 <i>g</i> for 5 min. The upper phase was collected, concentrated using a concentrator device, and dissolved in a 100 µL solution of methanol/acetone/isopropanol (7:1:1, v/v/v) for analysis. Spectrum analysis was performed using the open-source MZmine 3 software, and a reference interval was established using the Python programming language on the Google Colab platform. The developed method for measuring vitamin K and its derivatives exhibited limit of detection and limit of quantitation values of 0.005 and 0.01 ng/mL, respectively.

High-performance liquid chromatography of quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) combined with multivariate statistical techniques was used to detect the s in serum from septic mice. Fifty male mice were divided into two groups, including the sham group (<i>n</i> = 7) and the CLP-induced sepsis group (<i>n</i> = 43). Animals were sacrificed at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-CLP and then serum were collected for metabolomic analysis. Multivariate regression analysis was carried out through MetaboAnalyst 5.0, including principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), to identify the s and screen out the related differential metabolites. Besides, the KEGG pathway analysis was used to analyze the related metabolic pathways in which the identified metabolites were involved. Based on the fold change (FC > 2.0 or <0.5), variable important in projection (VIP > 1.2), and <i>P</i> value (<i>P</i> < 0.05), we found 26, 17, 21, and 17 metabolites in septic mice at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days post-CLP, respectively, compared with that of the sham group.

The present study was focused on developing and validating a rapid, selective, and sensitive method to quantify 11 bisphenols from the fish feed with dispersive solid-phase extraction, which was cleaned by an optimized amount of activated carbon spheres and silylated by N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoro acetamide and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

The clustering approach recognizes unique breathograms and \"breathprints\" signatures that clearly reflect the specific gastric condition of an individual person. The method can selectively distinguish the breath of peptic ulcer and other gastric dysfunctions like dyspepsia, gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease patients from the exhaled breath of healthy individuals with high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, the clustering method exhibited a reasonable power to selectively classify the early-stage and high-risk gastric conditions with/without ulceration, thus opening a new non-invasive analytical avenue for early detection, follow-up, and fast population-based robust screening strategy of gastric complications in the real-world clinical domain.</p>","PeriodicalId":12007,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mass Spectrometry","volume":"29 3","pages":"192-199"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9689204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particular attention is paid to the significance of loss of the substituent, X, from the 2-position, via a rearrangement that is sometimes known as a proximity effect, which has been reported for a range of radical-cations, but is shown in this work to be especially important for ionised cinnamamides. When X is in the 2-position of the aromatic ring, [M - X]⁺ is formed to a far greater extent than [M - H]⁺; in contrast, when X is in the 3-position or 4-position, [M - H]⁺ is generally much more important than [M - X]⁺. Parallel trends are found in the spectra of XYC₆H₃CH=CHCONH₂: the signal for [M - X]⁺ dominates that for [M - Y]⁺ when X is in the 2-position and Y in the 4-position or 5-position, irrespective of the nature of X and Y. Further insight is obtained by studying the competition between expulsion of X^· and alternative fragmentations that may be described as simple cleavages. Loss of ^·NH₂ results in the formation of a substituted cinnamoyl cation, [XC₆H₄CH=CHCO]⁺ or [XYC₆H₃CH=CHCO]⁺; this process competes far less effectively with the proximity effect when X is in the 2-position than when it is in the 3-position or 4-position. Additional information has been obtained by investigating the competition between formation of [M - H]⁺ by the proximity effect and loss of CH₃^· by cleavage of a 4-alkyl group to give a benzylic cation, [R¹R²CC₆H₄CH=CHCONH₂]⁺ (R¹, R² = H, CH₃).</p>","PeriodicalId":12007,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mass Spectrometry","volume":"29 2","pages":"75-87"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10068410/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9246388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
