This case report documents the development of a targeted mass spectrometry assay that accurately measures nisin levels in human urine following oral ingestion.</p><p><strong>Case presentation: </strong>Nisin ZP was orally ingested by a 59-year-old healthy white female then LC-MS/MS methodology was used to detect its excretion in human urine over time over 2 days. Briefly, 20 grams of nisin were ingested in two doses of 10 grams/150 ml of water. Sterile urine was then collected over 2 days. Urine was centrifuged to precipitate insoluble material followed by filtration through a 10 kilodalton molecular weight cutoff membrane. The filtrate was then concentrated by lyophilization, desalted, and then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. After online fractionation using C18 reversed-phase chromatography, the sample was electrosprayed into a Thermo Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer. Data was acquired using a parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) strategy focused on the +5 charge states of nisin. Extracted ion chromatograms for MS/MS fragments corresponding to those charge states were generated using the skyline algorithm and used for quantitation of nisin. Western blotting was also used to evaluate the presence of nisin in the urine samples.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Orally ingested nisin can be detected early in human urine after oral ingestion. Mass spectrometry data revealed that nisin was detected in urine samples 4-20 hours after the first ingestion and up to 14 hours after the second ingestion, indicating a potentially fast turnover and excretion of nisin in the human body. In line with the mass spectrometry data, immunoblotting data validated the findings, further supporting the notion of a fast turnover and excretion of nisin.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>We successfully applied the LC-MS/MS method to analyze nisin in urine obtained after oral administration of therapeutic doses of nisin. To the best of our knowledge, this constitutes the first report of nisin's detection following human oral ingestion and its presence in urine after excretion.</p>","PeriodicalId":72280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of clinical and medical case reports","volume":"9 2","pages":"38-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12439769/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The therapeutic approaches for these patients remain controversial, and most standard approaches include a combination of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and, recently, radiation. Unfortunately, overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) remain dreary. This case report will discuss an adult patient with mediastinal GZL treated as first line with chemotherapy approaches; after an initial lack of response, we decided for a strategy with the anti PD-1 blockade Nivolumab as bridge to the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The patient obtained a complete response before the HSCT maintaining this result after the HSCT with temporary grade I and II GVHD, suggesting the important role of the checkpoint inhibitor in this setting of patients. Clinical trials, with larger groups of patients, and longer follow-up are needed to better define safety and prognostic impact of anti PD1 and subsequent allogeneic HCT for the treatment of GZL.","PeriodicalId":72280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of clinical and medical case reports","volume":"2017 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69344313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AI has grown exponentially, and its systems have made their way into the anesthesia field. The purpose of this review is to explore how the practice of anesthesiology in the gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy suite changed with AI. Current AI anesthesia systems in the endoscopy suite include open and closed loop anesthesia delivery systems. The most widely used open loop system is the target-controlled infusion (TCI). During TCI, a drug is given automatically using a pump controlled by a computer. The aim is to achieve a chosen target plasma concentration, based on the hypothesis that the pharmacological effect is proportional to the drug’s plasma concentration. Closed loop systems regulate the drug’s dosage by checking a controlling parameter such as the patient himself in patient-maintained sedation, or the bispectral index in computer-assisted personalized sedation. As such, the closed loop system regulates the dose according to continuous feedback from the patient. Recent innovations in AI include machine learning and deep learning models that may have future applications in the endoscopy suite. Machine learning models look for patterns in vast amounts of data to draw conclusions. Deep learning models gain the ability to learn new information that they were not “explicitly programmed” to learn and make changes to their function based on that new information. Although the future of AI in anesthesia and the GI endoscopy suite seems bright, one must always keep in mind its shortcomings.","PeriodicalId":72280,"journal":{"name":"Archives of clinical and medical case reports","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69344463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
