[Risk analysis of serum chemical residues for metabolic associated fatty liver disease based on exposome-lipidome wide association study].

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a common liver disease with a prevalence of up to 25%; it not only adversely affects human health but also aggravates the economic burden of society. An increasing number of studies have suggested that the occurrence of chronic noncommunicable diseases is affected by both environmental exposures and genetic factors. Research has also shown that environmental pollution may increase the risk of MAFLD and promote its occurrence and development.

Metabolomics acts as a powerful tool for comprehensively evaluating vaccines approved under emergency: a CoronaVac retrospective study.

Introduction: To control the COVID-19 pandemic, great efforts have been made to realize herd immunity by vaccination since 2020. Unfortunately, most of the vaccines against COVID-19 were approved in emergency without a full-cycle and comprehensive evaluation process as recommended to the previous vaccines. Metabolome has a close tie with the phenotype and can sensitively reflect the responses to stimuli, rendering metabolomic analysis have the potential to appraise and monitor vaccine effects authentically.

Identification and Validation of TRIM25 as a Glucose Metabolism Regulator in Prostate Cancer.

Prostate cancer (PCa) malignant progression is accompanied with the reprogramming of glucose metabolism. However, the genes involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism in PCa are not fully understood. Here, we propose a new method, DMRG, which constructs a weighted differential network (W-K-DN) to define the important metabolism-related genes.

Full Collision Energy Ramp-MS Spectrum in Structural Analysis Relying on MS/MS.

Albeit frequently being overlooked, MS spectrum variation against collision energy (CE) implies auxiliary structural clues for / values. Online energy-resolved MS (ER-MS) provides the opportunity to acquire the trajectory of ion intensity against CE for any fragment ion of interest, thus exactly offering the desired momentum to empower the conventional MS spectrum at a certain CE forward to a full-CE ramp MS spectrum (FCER-MS). Efforts were made here to construct an FCER-MS spectrum and to evaluate its potential toward structural analysis.

[Isomeric discrimination of kaempferol versus luteolin by online energy-resolved mass spectrometry].

Isomers are widely distributed in Chinese herbal medicines,and can be discriminated by energy-resolved mass spectrometry( ER-MS). However,ER-MS was performed through direct injection of reference compounds with syringe pump,which encountered a significant technical barrier for high-throughput and automated measurements. Herein,online ER-MS was conducted using LC-MS platform,and a pair of isomers,kaempferol vs luteolin,were employed as a case study to illustrate and assess the utility of online ER-MS for isomeric discrimination.

Confirmative Structural Annotation for Metabolites of ()-7,3'-Dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-8-methylflavane, A Natural Sweet Taste Modulator, by Liquid Chromatography-Three-Dimensional Mass Spectrometry.

Flavonoids occupy the largest family of natural products and possess a broad spectrum of health benefits. Their metabolites are sometimes the truly effective molecules . It is still challenging, however, to unambiguously identify flavonoid metabolites using conventional LC-MS/MS.

[Identification of active components in Longxue Tongluo Capsules against ischemic brain injury based on component-activity relationship].

Ten fractions(A-J) were prepared by separation of Longxue Tongluo Capsules(LTC) by using silica gel column chromatography and orthogonal experimental design,showing similar chemical profiles with different abundances of peaks.These ten samples were assessed with UHPLC-QE OrbitrapHRMS for 97 common peaks.For the pharmacological activity experiment,three kinds of in vitro cell models including lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced BV-2 microglial cells NO release model,oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)-treated HUVEC vascular endothelial cells injury model,and OGD/R-treated PC-12 nerve cells injury model were employed to evaluated the bioactivity of each fraction.

Benzophenone glycosides from the pericarps of S. C. Huang.

Two new benzophenone glycosides, aquilarisides A () and B (), together with six known analogues () were isolated from the pericarps of S. C. Huang.

LC-MS-guided isolation of anti-inflammatory 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone dimers from Chinese agarwood (Aquilaria sinensis).

Fifteen previously undescribed 2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone dimers, along with two known analogues were isolated from Chinese agarwood (Aquilaria sinensis) by a LC-MS-guided fractionation procedure. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and spectrometric data (1D and 2D NMR, IR, and HRESIMS). The isolated compounds exhibited significant inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.
