The test-retest reliability of two-dimensional (2D) correlated spectroscopy (COSY) was studied on a whole-body 1.5T MRI scanner. Single-voxel localized 2D proton spectra were recorded in vitro as well as in vivo using a recently implemented localized chemical shift correlated spectroscopic (L-COSY) sequence. A total of 40 in vitro and 40 human brain (10 volunteers, four times each) 2D L-COSY spectra were recorded. The coefficients of variation (CVs) of selected brain metabolites (raw volume integrals) recorded in 10 healthy volunteers were less than 9% for creatine, choline, and N-acetyl aspartate, and less than 17% for myo-inositol, glutamine/glutamate, aspartate, and threonine/lactate. The 2D metabolite ratios and the raw volume integrals of 2D diagonal and cross peaks in healthy human brain were very well reproduced. The intraclass correlation coefficients were greater than 0.4 (P < 0.05) for the major metabolites, indicating that the 2D peak volumes were stable enough within individuals to detect reliable differences between normal subjects.

In the post-large era, various COVID-19 sequelae are getting more and more attention to health problems. Although the mortality rate of the COVID-19 infection is now declining, it is often accompanied by new clinical sequelae with different symptoms such as fatigue after infection, loss of smell. The degree of age, gender, virus infection seems to be weakly correlated with clinical symptoms.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a persistent neurodevelopmental disorder affecting brains of children. Mounting evidences support the associations between gut microbial dysbiosis and ASD, whereas detailed mechanisms are still obscure.

Methods: Here we probed the potential roles of gut microbiome in ASD using fecal metagenomics and metabolomics.

Clinically heterogeneous spectrum and molecular phenotypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remain to be comprehensively elucidated. This exploratory multi-omics study investigated the serum molecular profiles of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), in association with elevated fecal calprotectin and disease activity states. The serum proteome, metabolome, and lipidome of 75 treated IBD patients were profiled.

Rationale: Exhaled breath can be used for early warning of disease, with organic nitrogen compounds, including triethylamine (TEA), being linked to various medical conditions. Surface ionization ion mobility spectrometry (SI-IMS) facilitates the direct detection of TEA in exhaled breath. However, the presence of multiple ionization products of TEA poses challenges for both quantitative and qualitative analyses.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing nucleic acids due to its exceptional sensitivity and specificity. This study rigorously investigates not only the impact of polyA strands of different lengths (, 5, 10, 15, and 20 adenine bases) but also their distinct grafting strategy (SH at 5' and NH at 5' end) on the SERS signal of DNA strand using synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on graphene oxide sheets (GO-AuNPs). By comparing the thiol vs amine bonding onto the GO-AuNP nanoplatform, we found a strong correlation between the adenine peak intensity at 732 cm and the strand length for both grafting methods (SH at 5' end or NH at 5' end).
