A rapid, specific, and sensitive method based on quick polar pesticide extraction and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry with an Orbitrap analyzer was evaluated. Usually, pesticides were analyzed individually using derivatization or ion-pairing techniques and detection by ion chromatography. We identified and simultaneously quantified 6 highly polar compounds (glyphosate, aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), phosphonic acid, fosetyl-Al, chlorate, and perchlorate) in 83 processed fruits and vegetables as well as 15 infant foods. Isotopically labeled internal standards O-perchlorate, O-chlorate, and CN-glyphosate were applied to quantify five polar compounds and to compensate for any factor affecting the recovery rates. Only AMPA was quantified using a standard addition approach to compensate for matrix effects. This analytical methodology is fast and reliable, and it is also able to satisfy the strict requirements of infant food analysis.

Head trauma from blast exposure is a growing health concern, particularly among active military personnel, and is considered the signature injury of the Gulf War. However, it remains elusive whether fundamental differences exist between blast-related traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and TBI due to other mechanisms. Considering the importance of lipid metabolism associated with neuronal membrane integrity and its compromise during TBI, we sought to find changes in lipidomic profiling during blast or blunt (Stereotaxically Controlled Contusison-SCC)-mediated TBI.

People with DS are at high risk to develop Alzheimer's disease dementia (AD) (Lott & Head, 2001).

Increased CYP450-sEH metabolites are associated with worse cognition in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and greater white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in patients with stroke. We examined whether the relationship between linoleic acid (LA)-derived CYP450-sEH metabolites (oxylipins) and small vessel disease (SVD) markers differ across diabetes status.

Despite its high incidence, the pathophysiological mechanisms of IVDD remain incompletely understood.
Objective: This study aimed to identify metabolomic alterations in IVDD patients and explore the key metabolic pathways and metabolites involved in its pathogenesis.
Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Metabolic Link Between Histone H3K27 Demethylase UTX and Neurodevelopment.

Ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat on chromosome X (UTX) is a chromatin modifier responsible for regulating the demethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), which is crucial for human neurodevelopment. To date, the impact of UTX on neurodevelopment remains elusive. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of UTX on neurodevelopment through untargeted metabolomics based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS).
