Increased Levels of hsa-miR-199a-3p and hsa-miR-382-5p in Maternal and Neonatal Blood Plasma in the Case of Placenta Accreta Spectrum.

Despite the increasing number of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cases in recent years, its impact on neonatal outcomes and respiratory morbidity, as well as the underlying pathogenetic mechanism, has not yet been extensively studied. Moreover, no study has yet demonstrated the effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroid therapy (CT) for the prevention of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in newborns of mothers with PAS at the molecular level. In this regard, microRNA (miRNA) profiling by small RNA deep sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR was performed on 160 blood plasma samples from preterm infants (gestational age: 33-36 weeks) and their mothers who had been diagnosed with or without PAS depending on the timing of the antenatal RDS prophylaxis.

Thin Films of BaM Hexaferrite with an Inclined Orientation of the Easy Magnetization Axis: Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties.

Thin (~50 nm thick) BaM hexaferrite (BaFeO) films were grown on (1-102) and (0001) cut α-AlO (sapphire) substrates via laser molecular beam epitaxy using a one- or two-stage growth protocol. The advantages of a two-stage protocol are shown. The surface morphology, structural and magnetic properties of films were studied using atomic force microscopy, reflected high-energy electron diffraction, three-dimensional X-ray diffraction reciprocal space mapping, powder X-ray diffraction, magneto-optical, and magnetometric methods.

Aging and Pathological Conditions Similarity Revealed by Meta-Analysis of Metabolomics Studies Suggests the Existence of the Health and Age-Related Metapathway.

: The incidence of many diseases increases with age and leads to multimorbidity, characterized by the presence of multiple diseases in old age. This phenomenon is closely related to systemic metabolic changes; the most suitable way to study it is through metabolomics. The use of accumulated metabolomic data to characterize this phenomenon at the system level may provide additional insight into the nature and strength of aging-disease relationships.

Clinical metabolomics: current state and prospects in Russia.

Using analytical technologies it is possible now to measure the entire diversity of molecules even in a small amount of biological samples. Metabolomic technologies simultaneously analyze thousands of low-molecular substances in a single drop of blood. Such analytical performance opens new possibilities for clinical laboratory diagnostics, still relying on the measurement of only a limited number of clinically significant substances.

Application of clinical blood metabogram for diagnosis of early-stage Parkinson's disease: a pilot study.

In terms of time, cost, and reproducibility of clinical laboratory tests, a mass spectrometric clinical blood metabogram (CBM) enables the investigation of the blood metabolome. Metabogram's components provide clinically relevant information by describing related groups of blood metabolites connected to humoral regulation, the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and amines, lipid intake into the organism, and liver function. For further development of the CBM approach, the ability of CBM to detect metabolic changes in the blood in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD) was studied in this work.

Linking Clinical Blood Metabogram and Gut Microbiota.

Recently, a clinical blood metabogram was developed as a fast, low-cost and reproducible test that allows the implementation of metabolomics in clinical practice. The components of the metabogram are functionally related groups of blood metabolites associated with humoral regulation, the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates and amines, lipid intake into the organism, and liver function, thereby providing clinically relevant information. It is known that the gut microbiota affects the blood metabolome, and the components of the blood metabolome may affect the composition of the gut microbiota.

Synthesis and Study of Organic Nanostructures Fabricated by Inclusion of 2-Methylbenzimidazole Molecules in Nanotubes of Chrysotile Asbestos, Mesoporous Silica, and Nanopores of Borate Glasses.

New organic nanostructures were synthesized by introducing 2-methylbenzimidazole (MBI) molecules from a melt, gas phase, or alcoholic solution into nanosized voids of borate porous glasses (PG), nanotubes of chrysotile asbestos (ChA), and mesoporous silica (MS). The incorporation of MBI into borate glasses with different pore sizes is accompanied by the appearance of several phases formed by nanocrystallites which have a MBI crystal structure, but somewhat differ in lattice parameters. The size of some crystallites significantly exceeds the size of nanopores, which indicates the presence of long-scale correlations of the crystal structure.

Clinical Blood Metabogram: Application to Overweight and Obese Patients.

Recently, the concept of a mass spectrometric blood metabogram was introduced, which allows the analysis of the blood metabolome in terms of the time, cost, and reproducibility of clinical laboratory tests. It was demonstrated that the components of the metabogram are related groups of the blood metabolites associated with humoral regulation; the metabolism of lipids, carbohydrates, and amines; lipid intake into the organism; and liver function, thereby providing clinically relevant information. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the relevance of using the metabogram in a disease.

Current State and Future Perspectives on Personalized Metabolomics.

Metabolomics is one of the most promising 'omics' sciences for the implementation in medicine by developing new diagnostic tests and optimizing drug therapy. Since in metabolomics, the end products of the biochemical processes in an organism are studied, which are under the influence of both genetic and environmental factors, the metabolomics analysis can detect any changes associated with both lifestyle and pathological processes. Almost every case-controlled metabolomics study shows a high diagnostic accuracy.

Blood Plasma Metabolome Profiling at Different Stages of Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Early diagnostics significantly improves the survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which is the prevailing type of adult kidney cancer. However, the absence of clinically obvious symptoms and effective screening strategies at the early stages result to disease progression and survival rate reducing. The study was focused on revealing of potential low molecular biomarkers for early-stage RCC.

Potential Plasma Metabolite Biomarkers of Diabetic Nephropathy: Untargeted Metabolomics Study.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the specific complications of diabetes mellitus and one of the leading kidney-related disorders, often requiring renal replacement therapy. Currently, the tests commonly used for the diagnosis of DN, albuminuria (AU) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR), have limited sensitivity and specificity and can usually be noted when typical morphological changes in the kidney have already been manifested. That is why the extreme urgency of the problem of early diagnosis of this disease exists.
