We present a general scheme for metabolite quantification from a two-dimensional (2D) (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment of body fluids observed in natural abundance. The scheme of quantification from 2D HSQC spectra consists of measurement of relaxation parameters of proton resonances, such as T(1) and T(2) of the metabolites and (1)H-(13)C heteronuclear J-coupling for accurate quantification. The measured cross-peak volume from 2D HSQC NMR spectra is multiplied by a calculated correction factor (which depends upon two-dimensional NMR experimental parameters and relaxation parameters) to measure accurate quantification of the metabolite. The correction factor is theoretically derived from the solution of the Bloch equation and product operator formalism. The accuracy of the scheme is tested on a solution containing a mixture of amino acids of known concentration. For human urine samples, the accuracy of the method for measuring the concentration of various metabolites was tested with spike-in experiments. The scheme is general in nature and can be applied to any other body fluid samples for metabonomic studies. We also test the measured cross-peak volume of various metabolites from 2D (1)H-(13)C HSQC NMR spectra of human urine samples for clustering analysis with scatter plots, making the scheme complete for metabolic profiling.

Universidade Federal do Maranhão, Departamento de Medicina I, São Luís, MA, Brazil.
Objective: To analyze the prevalence of prenatal tests of pregnant women and factors associated with variation in this prevalence in the years of the Brazilian National Health Survey 2013 and 2019.
Method: A cross-sectional study, carried out with women who underwent prenatal care, interviewed in the Brazilian National Health Survey 2013 (n = 1,851) and 2019 (n = 2,729).
Results: The most prevalent tests were urine and blood, and the least prevalent were syphilis and HIV.
Ventral versus dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty for non-traumatic proximal bulbar urethral strictures in sexually active men: erectile and urinary functions.

Urology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.
Purpose: To compare the erectile and urinary functions of ventral and dorsal onlay buccal mucosal graft (BMG) urethroplasty in the management of proximal bulbar urethral strictures (PBUS) in sexually active men.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively included patients with primary non-traumatic PBUS who were treated with (BMG) urethroplasty at our department between March 2019 and March 2023 either ventral or dorsal approaches. Patients were assessed at 3- and 12-months postoperatively for urinary and erectile functions.
Predictive value of Bladder EpiCheck in detecting residual tumor before second TUR for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
World J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, 34200, Turkey.
Purpose: As Bladder EpiCheck (BE) is a promising urinary biomarker for diagnosis and follow up of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), there are no studies evaluated this tool for second transurethral resection (TUR) indication. We aim to evaluate the performance of BE in predicting residual tumor before second TUR in NMIBC and its effects on clinical decision making.
Methods: A total of 50 patients who were diagnosed with NMIBC and indicated for a second TUR were included in the study prospectively.
Background: Childhood obesity and the rate of its spread is a serious threat to the reproductive health of the nation, especially among boys, being a background for delaying sexual development and further disrupting fertility.
Aim: To study the peculiarities of the ratio of the level of leptin and a number of toxic and essential chemical trace elements in biological environments in adolescent boys aged 13-14 years with obesity and delayed sexual development.
Materials And Methods: Three groups of adolescents aged 13-14 years were studied and formed: the main ones - with constitutional exogenous obesity of 1-2 degrees (1-20 boys without secondary signs of puberty; 2 - 24 boys with 2-4 stages of puberty according to Tanner) and comparisons (3 - 15 boys with normal body weight and without deviations in puberty).

Sulfur-containing small molecules, mainly including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (HS), are crucial biomarkers, and their levels in different body locations (living cells, tissues, blood, urine, saliva, ) are inconsistent and constantly changing. Therefore, it is highly meaningful and challenging to synchronously and accurately detect them in complex multi-component samples without mutual interference. In this work, we propose a steric hindrance-regulated probe, NBD-2FDCI, with single excitation dual emissions to achieve self-adaptive detection of four analytes.
