Because of the clinical significance of carotid atherosclerosis, the search for novel biomarkers has become a priority. The aim of the present study was to compare the protein secretion profile of the carotid atherosclerotic plaque (CAP, n = 12) and nonatherosclerotic mammary artery (MA, n = 10) secretomes. We used a nontargeted proteomic approach that incorporated tandem immunoaffinity depletion, iTRAQ labeling, and nanoflow liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. In total, 162 proteins were quantified, of which 25 showed statistically significant differences in secretome levels between carotid atherosclerotic plaque and nondiseased mammary artery. We found increased levels of neutrophil defensin 1, apolipoprotein E, clusterin, and zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein in CAP secretomes. Results were validated by ELISA assays. Also, differentially secreted proteins are involved in pathways such as focal adhesion and leukocyte transendothelial migration. In conclusion, this study provides a subset of identified proteins that are differently expressed in secretomes of clinical significance.

Aim: To discover new salivary biomarkers to diagnose periodontitis and evaluate the impact of age and smoking on predictive capacity.
Material And Methods: Saliva samples were collected from 44 healthy periodontal individuals and 41 with periodontitis. Samples were analysed by sequential window acquisition of all theoretical mass spectra (SWATH-MS), and proteins were identified by employing the UniProt database.
Influence of maternal nutrition and one-carbon metabolites supplementation on bovine antimicrobial peptides in fetal and maternal tissues.

Introduction: Maternal nutrition during pregnancy critically influences offspring development and immune function. One-carbon metabolites (OCM) are epigenetic modifiers that may modulate antimicrobial peptide (AMP) expression, which is vital for innate immunity. This study investigated the effects of maternal nutrient restriction and OCM supplementation on mRNA expression of AMP in fetal and maternal lung, mammary gland, and small intestine of beef cattle.

Purpose: Adalimumab (ADA) is a systemic biological treatment option approved for the treatment of noninfectious uveitis (NIU); however, up to 40% of patients do not respond to the drug, either in a primary or secondary manner. Here, we evaluated the proteomic profile of patients with NIU who fail to ADA to identify proteins implicated in intraocular inflammation, as well as potential biomarkers for treatment response and novel therapeutic targets.
Methods: Cross-sectional observational study of patients with NIU under ADA treatment for six or more months.
Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis: Optimal Tests to Differentiate From Flares.

Objective: Diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) is challenging, as features of IA flares can mimic infection. We aimed to cross-sectionally determine if the optimal tests to diagnose PJI in osteoarthritis were present in patients with IA flares.
Methods: We enrolled patients from October 2020 to July 2022 in 3 groups: (a) PJI-total joint arthroplasty patients undergoing revision for infection, (b) IA Flare-IA patients with a flaring native joint, and (c) IA Aseptic-total joint arthroplasty patients with IA undergoing aseptic arthroplasty revision.
