Tobacco smoke contains many carcinogens which can lead to DNA methylation. Glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) are detoxifying enzymes, and the effects of the genes GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 on cigarette smoke-induced methylated adducts have not been elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the association of the GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genes and N7-methylguanine (N7-MeG) adducts in smokers. Urinary N7-MeG concentrations were measured by using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 112 smokers and 89 non-smokers, and GSTM1, GSTT1, and GSTP1 genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction. Smokers had higher N7-MeG concentrations than did non-smokers (3238+/-305 ng/mg creatinine [standard error] vs. 2386+/-153 ng/mg creatinine; P=0.01). Higher N7-MeG concentrations were observed with the GSTM1 null genotype than with the GSTM1 non-null genotype (3230+/-292 ng/mg creatinine vs. 2336+/-153 ng/mg creatinine; P=0.007), particularly in smokers (3775+/-483 ng/mg creatinine vs. 2468+/-228 ng/mg creatinine; P=0.02). However, the GSTT1 and GSTP1 genotypes were not associated with urinary N7-MeG concentrations. Therefore, the susceptible GSTM1 genotype may modulate the concentrations of N7-MeG adducts in the DNA of smokers.

Reliable and sensitive analytical platform to assess dietary exposure of pigs to mycotoxins and explore potential urinary biomarkers.

A reliable and sensitive analytical platform is proposed for the assessment of pig exposure to mycotoxins through the consumption of commercial feed. A total of 48 naturally contaminated feed and 55 urine samples collected from eight Spanish farms were analyzed using a fast and simple methodology based on solid-liquid extraction (SLE) or liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME). High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used for the targeted analysis of 27 mycotoxins from different families in both matrices achieving limits of quantification in a range of 0.

Purpose: Cisplatin (CDDP) induces acute kidney injury (AKI) as a side effect during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Urinary vanin-1 excretion may increase during CDDP treatment. We investigated whether urinary vanin-1 is an early biomarker for CDDP-induced AKI.

Article Synopsis
- Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a pressing global issue, and while urine drug screenings help monitor treatment responses, they typically provide only yes/no results, complicating comparisons between studies due to varying analytical cutoffs.
- This study analyzed data from a 31-week trial involving 428 participants to compare the efficacy of CAM2038 (subcutaneous buprenorphine) to daily sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone, using quantitative urine drug tests to evaluate different cutoffs for opioid detection.
- Results showed that higher cutoff values led to more pronounced differences in treatment effectiveness favoring CAM2038, suggesting that quantitative urinalysis can offer
Urinary Nephrin: A Potential Biomarker of Early Glomerular Injury in a Cohort of Pregnant Women Attending Routine Antenatal Care Services.

Glomerular injury may occur during pregnancy as a consequence of systemic disease and pregnancy-related medical complications. While urinary nephrin has been shown to provide early identification of preeclampsia (PE) in high-risk pregnancies, the role of urinary nephrin in determining glomerular injury in pregnant women is yet to be explored. This study aimed to investigate the use of urinary nephrin as a predictor for early glomerular injury in a study conducted at the Townville University Hospital.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the natural history of menstrual pain in young girls without pelvic issues, focusing on the role of progesterone and various risk factors over time.
- Participants provided urine samples and filled out menstrual diaries to assess pain and hormonal levels.
- Results indicated that older gynecologic age and higher progesterone levels were linked to increased menstrual pain, suggesting that progesterone may play a significant role in this condition.*
