High resolution NMR was applied to study biochemical changes of lipids in cod (Gadus morhua) gonads during 7 days storage at 4 degrees C. Changes were observed in the (13)C and (1)H resonances of cholesterol which were due to esterification of fatty acids at the hydroxyl position in roe and milt. Furthermore, the (13)C NMR spectra showed that the lipolytic changes in milt and roe where different. New resonances appeared during storage, due to formation of specific free fatty acids, with the corresponding changes in resonances of the esterified carbonyls and glycerols. The highly unsaturated n-3 fatty acids were hydrolysed from the sn-1 and sn-2 position of both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine in milt. The lipolytical changes in roe were less prominent compared to the changes in milt, however significant levels of sn-1-lysophospholipids was detected both in roe and milt. The current data demonstrate that high resolution NMR may be a suitable method to non-destructively study hydrolysis and esterification reactions occurring in heterogeneous marine lipids in a one step procedure.

We report a case of an elderly female with subacute submental neck swelling, dry cough, and a history of significant weight loss. Unexpectedly, a left submandibular chronic sialadenitis was noted on ultrasound of the neck, along with a thyroid nodule that, on biopsy, showed lymphocytic infiltration. High-resolution computed tomography of the lungs revealed multifocal irregular consolidations with lymphadenopathy, and possible infective causes, including tuberculosis, were ruled out after a thorough microbiological evaluation.

Objectives: To establish and optimize an incubation system with human liver microsomes and investigate the metabolites and possible metabolic pathways of mirtazapine.
Methods: Three major metabolites of mirtazapine were selected to optimize the incubation conditions of liver microsomes. The metabolites of mirtazapine were analyzed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) to identify the metabolites and metabolic pathways of mirtazapine.

Objectives: To explore the characteristic fragment ions, ion abundance ratios and mass spectrometry fragmentation rules of etomidate and its structural analogues by using gas chromatography-quadrupole/orbitrap mass spectrometry (GC-Q/Orbitrap MS) and liquid chromatography-linear ion trap quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry (LC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS) techniques, providing important data support for the identification and prediction of etomidate structural analogues.
Methods: GC-Q/Orbitrap MS and LC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS were used to analyze metomidate, etomidate, isopropoxate and propoxate, to obtain their GC high resolution mass spectra and LC high resolution mass spectra.
Results: Under the electron impact (EI) ion source mode, etomidate, metomidate and the other two analogues all produced their molecular ions and seven identical fragment ions ( 77.
