Article Synopsis
  • * This study analyzes the lipid profiles from menstrual blood samples of women with and without endometriosis to identify specific lipid markers that could aid in diagnosis.
  • * Key findings reveal that certain lipids, such as specific ceramides and cardiolipins, are altered in women with endometriosis, and two particular lipids showed promising diagnostic accuracy with 81% sensitivity and 85% specificity.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in women with pronounced stages of precancerous lesions. Accurate differential diagnosis of such lesions is one of the primary challenges of medical specialists, which is vital to improving patient survival. The aim of this study was to develop and test an algorithm for the differential diagnosis of cervical lesions based on lipid levels in scrapings from the cervical epithelium and cervicovaginal canal.

A dramatic increase in cervical diseases associated with human papillomaviruses (HPV) in women of reproductive age has been observed over the past decades. An accurate differential diagnosis of the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and the choice of the optimal treatment requires the search for effective biomarkers with high diagnostic and prognostic value. The objective of this study was to introduce a method for rapid shotgun lipidomics to differentiate stages of HPV-associated cervix epithelium transformation.

A novel atmospheric pressure thermal ionization (APTI) ion source was developed for the analysis of liquid samples. The feasibility of the ion source was demonstrated on peptides using two configurations-assisted by hot wire or hot surface. Microalloyed molybdenum, used as a thermal ion- emitter, notably facilitated the formation of multiply-charged ions, but fragmentation products were still observed.
