Solutions of oligohemoglobins (OHb) with middle molecular mass 100 x 10(3) = 400 x 10(3), obtained after polycondensation of hemoglobin with glutaric aldehyde as well as oligohemoglobin modified with pyridoxal-5-phosphate, were studied in vivo and in vitro (plethoric administration, isovolemic metabolic substitution, hemorrhagic shock; at a dose of 0.5-1.8 g/kg of body mass; dogs, rabbits, rats). With increase of the OHb molecular mass period of its circulation in blood was elevated; blood plasma protected OHb from autooxidation; half-life of OHb was about 12-18 hrs in isovolemic metabolic substitution and in hemorrhagic shock and about 5 hrs--in plethoric administration. During circulation molecular mass selection of OHb occurred, where low molecular fraction decreased and high molecular fraction--accumulated; sign and value of human erythrocyte charge were similar both in OHb solutions with concentration up to 5% and in physiological solution.

Cells are subjected to dynamic mechanical environments which impart forces and induce cellular responses. In age-related conditions like pulmonary fibrosis, there is both an increase in tissue stiffness and an accumulation of senescent cells. While senescent cells produce a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), the impact of physical stimuli on both cellular senescence and the SASP is not well understood.

Ethylene glycol dinitrate (EGDN) is a nitrate ester explosive widely used in military ordnance and missile systems. This study investigates the decomposition dynamics of the EGDN cation using a comprehensive approach that combines femtosecond time-resolved mass spectrometry (FTRMS) experiments with electronic structure and molecular dynamics computations. We identify three distinct dissociation time scales for the metastable EGDN cation of approximately 40-60 fs, 340-450 fs, and >2 ps.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain, contributing to neurodegeneration. This study investigates lipid alterations within these plaques using a novel, label-free, multimodal approach. Combining infrared (IR) imaging, machine learning, laser microdissection (LMD), and flow injection analysis mass spectrometry (FIA-MS), we provide the first comprehensive lipidomic analysis of chemically unaltered Aβ plaques in post-mortem human AD brain tissue.

Neonatal health is dependent on early risk stratification, diagnosis, and timely management of potentially devastating conditions, particularly in the setting of prematurity. Many of these conditions are poorly predicted in real-time by clinical data and current diagnostics. Umbilical cord blood may represent a novel source of molecular signatures that provides a window into the state of the fetus at birth.
