We utilized these naturally occurring VOCs in an adapted culture method to detect differences in culturing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with and without Staphylococcus epidermidis and Aspergillus fumigatus contaminations. The VOC emissions from the cell cultures were extracted and measured from the culture flask headspace using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated Twisters, which were subjected to thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS) analysis. In our initial time points of 1 and 2 h, we detected VOC signatures that differentiated the cultures earlier than traditional plating techniques or visualization methods. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) models were built to differentiate the analytes from the CHO cells and S. epidermidis- and A. fumigatus-inoculated CHO cultures. A total of 41 compounds with a variable importance in projection (VIP) score greater than 1 was obtained across the models. Similarly, based on the PLS regression analyses to predict the cell concentration of S. epidermidis (R² = 0.891) and A. fumigatus (R² = 0.375), 15 and 20 relevant compounds were putatively identified, respectively; two known compounds overlapped between the two microbes.

Symptoms can range from mild to severe and typically appear 2-14 days after virus exposure. While vaccination has significantly reduced the incidence of severe complications, strategies for the identification of new biomarkers to assess disease severity remains a critical area of research. Severity biomarkers are essential for personalizing treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes. This study aimed to identify sex-specific biomarkers for COVID-19 severity in a Chilean population (n = 123 female, n = 115 male), categorized as control, mild, moderate, or severe. Data were collected using clinical biochemistry parameters and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and lipidomics to detect alterations in plasma cytokines, metabolites, and lipid profiles related to disease severity. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to select significant characteristic features for each group. The results revealed distinct biomarkers for males and females. In males, COVID-19 severity of was associated with inflammation parameters, triglycerides content, and phospholipids profiles. For females, liver damage parameters, triglycerides content, cholesterol derivatives, and phosphatidylcholine were identified as severity biomarkers. For both sexes, most of the biomarker combinations evaluated got areas under the ROC curve greater than 0.8 and low prediction errors. These findings suggest that sex-specific biomarkers can help differentiate the levels of COVID-19 severity, potentially aiding in the development of tailored treatment approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":462,"journal":{"name":"Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142875974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Information on the nature and the quality of the biomass or biofuel is important in order to support the optimization of their combustion with respect to realizing higher efficiencies and lower emissions during energy production. Three reference materials were produced by a collaborative approach among national metrology institutes and designated institutes within the scope of the EMPIR project: BIOFMET. The project was aimed to establish advanced traceable measurement standards for the determination of the calorific value, impurities, and other parameters such as density, kinematic viscosity, moisture, and ash. This paper presents the sampling and processing methodology, homogeneity, stability, characterization campaign, the assignment of property values, and their associated uncertainties in compliance with ISO 17034 for biofuel reference materials: biodiesel, wood pellet powder, and wood pellet. Parameters of interest in biodiesel reference material-UME BIOFMET CRM 01 are gross calorific value (GCV), density, viscosity, and mass fractions of Ca, K, Mg, Na, P, and S elements. Parameters to be certified in wood pellet powder reference material-UME BIOFMET CRM 02 are GCV, moisture, ash, and mass fractions of Al, Cr, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, S, and Zn elements. Parameters to be certified in the wood pellet reference material-UME BIOFMET CRM 03 are GCV and moisture. The homogeneity and stability of the materials were assessed in accordance with ISO 33405. The materials were characterized by interlaboratory comparison studies among competent metrology institute and designated institute laboratories. Assigned values and uncertainties of the certified values were calculated in accordance with ISO 33405, and uncertainties include characterization, homogeneity, and stability components. The developed CRMs are intended to be used for the development and validation of measurement procedures for the determination and quality control/assurance purposes of the quality parameters for biofuels. It should be emphasized that the UME BIOFMET CRM 01-Biodiesel CRM is the first biodiesel reference material certified for calorific value. Among the developed wood CRMs, the pellet form, UME BIOFMET CRM 03, was found to be more stable than the powder one, UME BIOFMET CRM 02, for the moisture parameter.

Enzymatic methods are not widely used in this field despite their selectivity and mild conditions. Therefore, we present here a proof of concept for new spectrophotometric enzymatic assays of fCN. These are based on the hydrolysis of fCN affording the readily detectable NADH. fCN is hydrolyzed either in one step by cyanide dihydratase (CynD) or in two steps by cyanide hydratase (CynH) and formamidase (AmiF). An advantage of the latter route is the higher activity of CynH and AmiF compared to CynD. In both cases, the resulting formate is then transformed by an NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH). The NADH thus formed is quantified colorimetrically using a known method based on a reduction of a tetrazolium salt (WST-8) with NADH. The developed assays of fCN are selective except for formic acid interference, proceed under mild conditions, and, moreover, fCN is detoxified during the reactions. The assays proceeded in a microtiter plate format. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were lower for the three-enzyme (CynH-AmiF-FDH) method (7.00 and 21.2 µmol/L, respectively) than for the two-enzyme (CynD-FDH) method (10.7 and 32.4 µmol/L, respectively).
