The levels of estrogens and/or their metabolites play important roles in carcinogenesis, reproductive function, and sexual development during perinatal and adolescence periods. The main purpose of this report was to investigate the applicability of high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) with electrospray ionization (ESI) and/or atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) for simultaneous detection of estrone (E1) and its six metabolites. Both positive and negative ionization modes in ESI and APCI were used to evaluate the signal responses of seven target analytes. Among the seven target analytes, five analytes, E1, 16alpha-hydroxyestrone, 2-methoxyestrone, 4-methoxyestrone, and 2-hydroxyestrone-3-methyl, produced signals with the best signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios in positive APCI-MS/MS mode, while the other two analytes, 2-hydroxyestrone and 4-hydroxyestrone, yielded the best S/N ratios in negative ESI-MS/MS mode. Based on the results of the evaluation, HPLC-APCI-MS/MS with switching between positive and negative modes was recommended for simultaneous detection of E1 and its six metabolites. The proposed analytical scheme was successfully applied in the analysis of cell culture medium of Human liver carcinoma cells treated with varying amounts of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifaceted process involving various mechanisms, with oxidative stress playing a crucial role in its development. Hypochlorite (HOCl) and cysteine (Cys) are indicators of oxidative stress in AKI pathophysiology, directly reflecting the degree of oxidative stress and disease severity. However, their exact mechanism of action in AKI pathophysiology remains unknown.

Pressure and temperature sensing simultaneously and independently is crucial for creating electronic skin that replicates complex sensory functions of human skin. Thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays with sensors have enabled cross-talk-free spatial sensing. However, the thermal dependence of charge transport in semiconductors has resulted in interference between thermal and pressure stimuli.

Colloidal crystal engineering enables the precise construction of structures with remarkable properties. However, the flexible and synergistic regulation of multiple properties of colloidal crystals remains a significant challenge. Here, we inspire from Brazilian opals to self-assemble polymer nanoparticles in the gaps of a single-layer opal substrate to fabricate large-scale binary colloidal crystals (BCCs).

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been recognized as the most reliable diagnostic tool. However, there is a need to develop multiplexed assays capable of analyzing multiple genes simultaneously to expand its application. To address this, a multiplexed RT-qPCR using a double emulsion (DE)-based carrier and a polymer microparticle reactor, termed primer-incorporated network tailored with Taqman probe (TaqPIN) is developed.

Introduction: Recurrent opportunistic infections are particularly common in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, these opportunistic infections have also been reported in HIV-negative patients, especially those with primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID), a condition that involves a large heterogeneous group of disorders arising from defects in immune system development and/or function.
Case: Here, we report a very rare case of recurrent opportunistic infections in a non-HIV-infected patient combined with mutations in complement component C6 and nuclear factor kB subunit 1 ().
