Rapid and precise method for the determination of 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha), an essential marker of the oxidative stress, in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) was developed. The protocol consisted of stable isotope dilution, immunoseparation combined with selective and sensitive LC-ESI-MS/MS operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The imprecision of the developed method was below 8.8%, the parameter of mean inaccuracy was determined as <9.6% (0-250pg of 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha)/ml EBC). The limit of detection (LOD) was 1 pg/ml EBC and limit of quantification (LOQ) 5 pg/ml EBC. A significant difference in 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) content between the group of asbestosis patients and healthy volunteers was found.

Objective: The pathophysiology of delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is not fully elucidated. The lack of accurate diagnostic tools increases the probability of delayed diagnosis and timely treatment. The authors assessed the relationship of 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (F2-IsoP) and oxidative stress biomarkers, nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), with DCI after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).

Thromboxane A (TXA), a prothrombotic factor that induces platelet aggregation and thrombosis, acts as a vasoconstrictor by activating TXA receptors (TP receptors). TXA is extremely unstable and metabolizes into three major metabolites: 2,3-dinor thromboxane B (2,3-dinor-TXB), 11-dehydro TXB(11-dh-TXB), and 11-dehydro-2,3-dinor TXB(11-dh-2,3-dinor-TXB). 8-Iso-prostaglandin F(8-iso-PGF), a prostaglandin-like compound widely considered the best biomarker of oxidative stress, can also activate TP receptors.

Pathological myopia (PM) is associated with ocular morbidities that cause blindness. PM often occurs in eyes with high myopia (HM) while they are distinctly different. Identifying the differences in metabolites and metabolic pathways between patients with PM and HM may provide information about the pathogenesis of PM, which is currently unknown.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how exposure to cadmium (Cd) affects lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), revealing a clear link between higher blood Cd levels and decreased lung performance over time.
  • - It found that for every 1-ppb increase in blood Cd, patients experienced significant declines in key lung function measures like forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1).
  • - The research suggests that oxidative stress, indicated by elevated serum 8-iso-prostaglandin F2 alpha levels, may play a role in the harmful effects of Cd on lung function in those with COPD.

Background: Oral cancer has a high worldwide incidence and mortality rate showing an upward trend year by year, predominantly occurring in emerging countries. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the main types of oral cancer, accounting for more than 90% of all cases in oral cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 8-iso-Prostaglandin F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2α) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α as biomarkers in the early carcinogenesis of erosive oral lichen planus (EOLP) by measuring their levels in the blood of patients with EOLP and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
