Adhesion formation after abdominal and pelvic operations remains a challenging problem. Role of adjuvant barriers have been studied but there is no comparative study between liquid paraffin and hyaluronic acid as a barrier method. Hence, we planned to compare the effectiveness of 0.4 % hyaluronic acid and liquid paraffin in the prevention of postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions in rats. This prospective, randomized and controlled study was conducted in 60 adult Wistar albino rats. Surgical trauma by caecal abrasion and 1 g talcum powder was used in the rat model to induce adhesion formation. After trauma, 3 ml normal saline was instilled in the peritoneal cavity in control group ( = 20), 3 ml liquid paraffin was instilled in experimental group A ( = 20) and 3 ml 0.4 % hyaluronic acid was instilled in experimental group B ( = 20). Two weeks after laparotomy, repeat laparotomy was performed and the adhesions were scored according to Zuhlke classification. Liquid paraffin and hyaluronic acid both reduce the extent and grade of adhesions both macroscopically ( = 0.018, = 0.017) and microscopically ( = 0.019, = 0.019) respectively. Although there was significant reduction in adhesions by hyaluronic acid at certain specific sites as compared with liquid paraffin, its overall effectiveness in preventing postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions is not significantly different from liquid paraffin ( = 0.092, = 0.193) respectively. The presence of liquid paraffin and hyaluronic acid in the peritoneal cavity reduce postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions significantly in rats. However, there is no overall significant difference in the effectiveness of two groups. Dosage and safety of these chemicals in human beings remains to be established.

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) provides a rapid and nondestructive method for biological plasma analysis, offering unparalleled sensitivity and specificity. However, most current studies predominantly employ the drop-cast method, where liquid samples are dried on the SERS substrate for spectral recording. While effective, this method is both time-consuming and inconsistent.

Article Synopsis
- Emerging contaminants in edible oils, particularly peanut oil, are analyzed using FT-NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics.
- The study found that the PLS-DA classifier successfully distinguished between normal and contaminated samples with an impressive 100% classification accuracy, identifying specific contaminants like diesel and lubricating oil with similar precision.
- Quantitative analysis showed that SVR provided high prediction accuracy for diesel, white mineral oil, and lubricating oil, while PLSR also performed well for kerosene and engine oil, highlighting NIR spectroscopy as a reliable method for ensuring edible oil safety.
The ability to bring spatial resolution to omics studies enables a deeper understanding of cell populations and interactions in biological tissues. In the case of proteomics, single-cell and spatial approaches have been particularly challenging, due to limitations in sensitivity and throughput relative to other omics fields. Recent developments at the level of sample handling, chromatography, and mass spectrometry have set the stage for proteomics to be established in these new disciplines.

Mass spectrometry-based investigation of the heterogeneous glycoproteome from complex biological specimens is a robust approach to mapping the structure, function, and dynamics of the glycome and proteome. Sampling whole wet tissues often provides a large amount of starting material; however, there is a reasonable variability in tissue handling prior to downstream processing steps, and it is difficult to capture all the different biomolecules from a specific region. The on-slide tissue digestion approach, outlined in this protocol chapter, is a simple and cost-effective method that allows comprehensive mapping of the glycoproteome from a single spot of tissue of 1 mm or greater diameter.
