Unlabelled: Background - Alcohol is the most abused substance in Western society, resulting in major economic losses and negative health consequences. Therefore, there is a need for a selective and robust detection method for alcohol consumption in various clinical and forensic settings. This study aimed to validate a mass spectrometry method for quantifying phosphatidylethanol (PEth) and perform retrospective data analysis from the patient population of a national reference laboratory.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), crucial mediators in cell-to-cell communication, are implicated in both homeostatic and pathological processes. Their detectability in easily accessible peripheral fluids like saliva positions them as promising candidates for non-invasive biomarker discovery. However, the lack of standardized methods for salivary EVs isolation greatly limits our ability to study them.

The dispersion of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in suspensions determines the quality of the CNC-reinforced composites. Before being mixed into the composite matrix, stable suspensions must maintain a well-dispersed state, requiring proper design strategies to prevent agglomeration and precipitation. Considering the volume fraction, aspect ratio, and zeta potential, this paper proposes a coarse-grained model to simulate CNC clustering and an experimental program to observe accelerated precipitation of CNCs.

Bile acids (BAs), not only promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and regulate the metabolism of multiple substances but also have a potential role as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in a variety of diseases such as cholestasis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and diabetes mellitus. Here, a rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of 50 BAs was developed and validated. Sample preparation included internal standard spiking, followed by protein precipitation, centrifugation, solvent evaporation, and reconstitution.
