CE with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D) was used to determine waste products of the nitrogen metabolism (ammonia and creatinine) and of biogenic inorganic cations in samples of human urine. The CE separation was performed in two BGEs, consisting of 2 M acetic acid + 1.5 mM crown ether 18-crown-6 (BGE I) and 2 M acetic acid + 2% w/v PEG (BGE II). Only BGE II permitted complete separation of all the analytes in a model sample and in real urine samples. The LOD values for the optimized procedure ranged from 0.8 microM for Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) to 2.9 microM for NH(4)(+) (in terms of mass concentration units, from 7 microg/L for Li(+) to 102 microg/L for creatinine). These values are adequate for determination of NH(4)(+), creatinine, Na(+), K(+), Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) in real urine samples.

Development and validation of a machine learning-based model to predict survival in patients with cirrhosis after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

Background: Although numerous prognostic scores have been developed for patients with cirrhosis after Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement over years, an accurate machine learning (ML)-based model remains unavailable. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a ML-based prognostic model to predict survival in patients with cirrhosis after TIPS placement.
Methods: In this retrospective study in China, patients diagnosed with cirrhosis after TIPS placement from 2014 to 2020 in our cohort were included to develop a ML-based model.

Background/aims: Liver transplantation is a life-saving approach in some cases of mushroom poisoning, which is one of the important causes of acute liver failure. However, debate continues regarding the timing of liver transplantation. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the results of patients who underwent liver transplantation due to mushroom poisoning.

A large literature exists on the biochemistry, chemistry, metabolism, and clinical importance of the α-keto acid analogues of many amino acids. However, although glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in human tissues, and transamination of glutamine to its α-keto acid analogue (α-ketoglutaramate; KGM) was described more than seventy years ago, little information is available on the biological importance of KGM. Herein, we summarize the metabolic importance of KGM as an intermediate in the glutamine transaminase - ω-amidase (GTωA) pathway for the conversion of glutamine to anaplerotic α-ketoglutarate.

The presence of ammonia nitrogen in water has a significant impact on the serum and spleen of fish, potentially leading to changes in substances such as proteins in the serum while also causing damage to the immune function of the spleen. To investigate the effects of ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) stress on juvenile yellowfin tuna (), this study established three NH-N concentrations, 0, 5, and 10 mg/L, denoted as L0, L1, and L2, respectively. Serum and spleen samples were collected at 6, 24, and 36 h.

A 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments was used to investigate the interactive effects of dietary macronutrient composition (high-starch, low-fat, low-fiber [HsLFF] diet or low-starch, high-fat, high-fiber [LsHFF] diet) and N source (soybean meal [SBM] or partially replaced by slow-release urea [SRU]) on lactation performance, rumen fermentation, N utilization efficiency, nutrient digestibility, blood metabolites, and feeding behavior in cows. A replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design was used involving 12 multiparous Holstein cows (milk yield of 40.5 ± 5.
