A sensitive method for the post-column detection of thiamine (T) and its phosphate esters is described. The procedure is based on the on-line photolysis of the analytes into photoproducts which have a strong enhancing effect on the CL permanganate-luminol reaction. The complete separation of the thiamines was obtained on a RP-amide C(16) column in isocratic elution with an analysis time of less than 7 min. Under the optimum conditions, analytical curves, based on standard solutions, were linear over the range 10-1000 nM for thiamine and 100-2000 nM for its mono- and di-phosphate esters. Intra- and inter-day precision values of less than 1.14% relative standard deviation (RSD) (n=10) and 1.86% RSD (n=15), respectively, were obtained. The method was successfully applied to the determination of the thiamines in pharmaceutical preparations and baby foods.

Lung cancer is one of the most harmful cancers in the world, endangering the lives and health of many people. Although there are various methods to treat lung cancer at present, but lung cancer is asymptomatic in the early stages and has a high recurrence rate after late treatment which make it difficult to cure with conventional treatments. Drug combinations for the treatment of lung cancer have been used in many clinical studies.

Elucidating metabolic pathways through genomic analysis in highly heavy metal-resistant strains.

December 2024

Research Laboratory of Environmental Sciences and Sustainable Development, LR18ES32, University of Sfax, Tunisia.

The annotated and predicted genomes of five archaeal strains (AS1, AS2, AS8, AS11 and AS19), isolated from Sfax solar saltern sediments (Tunisia) and affiliated with , were performed by RAST webserver (Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology) and NCBI prokaryotic genome annotation pipeline (PGAP). The results showed the ability of strains to use a reduced semi-phosphorylative Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose degradation and an Embden-Meyerhof one for gluconeogenesis. They could use glucose, fructose, glycerol, and acetate as sole source of carbon and energy.

Introduction: Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI), a critical sequela of systemic inflammation, often progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome, conferring high mortality. Although UMI-77 has demonstrated efficacy in mitigating lung injury in sepsis, the molecular mechanisms underlying its action have not yet been fully elucidated.

Methods: This study aimed to delineate the mechanism by which UMI-77 counteracts sepsis-induced ALI using comprehensive transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses.

Atherosclerosis is the main pathogenic factor of various cardiovascular diseases. During the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, macrophages play a major role, mainly by secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines and taking in lipids to form foam cells. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is an antagonist of the P2Y6 receptor, which is overexpressed on macrophages during atherosclerosis and facilitates the lipid phagocytosis of macrophages.

Article Synopsis
  • Cough variant asthma (CVA) is a common condition causing chronic cough, but its complex nature and unclear biological mechanisms make treatment challenging.
  • A study analyzed the sputum metabolome of CVA patients, finding alterations in metabolic pathways linked to arginine, purine, and pyrimidine metabolism that could be improved with anti-asthmatic medication.
  • Specific metabolites, like dipeptides and thiamine phosphate, were identified as potential biomarkers for both diagnosing CVA and predicting treatment responses, suggesting issues with mitochondrial energy metabolism may play a role in CVA's development.
