Article Synopsis
- RDEB is a hereditary skin disorder causing blistering and malnutrition, and metabolomics is being explored to understand its disease mechanisms.
- The study analyzed plasma metabolomes of 10 RDEB patients and 10 healthy controls, revealing downregulated amino acids linked to disease severity and dysregulated metabolites related to specific metabolic pathways.
- Limitations of the study include the small sample size and the potential unrepresentativeness of using only a single time-point blood sample for analysis.
The nutrient and related databases are essential for calculating intake values in epidemiological studies. To suit our research needs, we have developed an integrated management system not only for processing individual dietary questionnaires including 24-hour recalls, food records and Chinese food frequency questionnaires (CFFQ), but also for maintaining and tracking updated food composition databases. The recall and record calculation system (Normal University Food and Nutrient Calculation System: NUCAL system) considers date of recall/record, number of days and meal separations.
