Laser desorption mass spectra of malto-oligomers, including starch, have been obtained using Fourier transform mass spectrometry. Fragmentations of these oligomers have been examined after doping with metal salts to obtain cation-attachment ions. Doping starch with NaCl, KBr and Ag2O results in analogous cation-attachment oligosaccharide fragment ions for all three metal ions. A distinct and unusual fragmentation pattern is observed for the larger oligomers.

Background: Diarrhea caused by non-O1/O139-group e (NOVC) tends to be mild and can be readily overlooked. In this report, a NOVC strain designated XXM was isolated from the blood of a 68-year-old male undergoing surgical treatment for a bile duct malignancy in October 2023.
Methods: XXM was identified through a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS).

Polymer-based organic electrodes for rechargeable batteries are attractive due to their design flexibility, sustainability, and environmental compatibility. Unfortunately, waste management of conventional polymer materials typically involves incineration, which emits greenhouse gases. Consequently, degradable polymers should be ideal candidates for future green batteries.

In this study, we employed platinum-assisted surface-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) (Pt-SALDI-MSI) to detect and visualize the spatial distribution of antioxidant additives and organic dyes in polystyrene films undergoing photodegradation. In traditional matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), matrix-derived ion peaks often obscure signals from low-molecular-weight analytes. Pt-SALDI-MSI, which utilizes inorganic nanoparticles instead of an organic matrix, enables the interference-free analysis of low-molecular-weight compounds, thereby addressing the limitation of traditional MALDI-MS.

A 46-year-old woman on peritoneal dialysis (PD) had cloudy peritoneal dialysis effluent that had persisted for 10 days by the time she visited our hospital. The white blood cell count in the effluent was elevated to 1500/μL, leading to a diagnosis of peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis. The effluent cleared within two days with treatment using cefazolin and ceftazidime, and the white blood cell count dropped to 0/μL by day 6.

Triclocarban (TCC) is a common antimicrobial agent that has been widely used in medical care. Given the close association between TCC treatment and metabolic disorders, we assessed whether long-term treatment to TCC at a human-relevant concentration could induce nephrotoxicity by disrupting the metabolic levels in a mouse model. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) was applied to investigate the alterations in the spatial distributions and abundances of TCC, endogenous and exogenous metabolites in the kidney after TCC treatment.
