Lack of clinically specific biomarkers has impeded the diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) and limited understanding of pathogenesis for OA has also restrained the enhancement of therapeutic measures. In the study, plasma untargeted metabolomics of twelve OA patients and twenty healthy controls (HC) were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/Q-TOF-MS). The differential metabolites (DMs) between OA and HC were evaluated by multivariate analysis and Bayes discriminant analysis was employed to discover potential diagnosis biomarkers. Meanwhile a transcriptomic dataset GSE55235 was downloaded from GEO database to explore the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between OA and HC by R/Bioconductor project. Finally, an integrative analysis of DMs and DEGs was performed to investigate the possible molecular mechanisms of OA. As a result, a panel of three metabolites including succinic acid, xanthurenic acid and L-tryptophan was revealed to potentially act as biomarker for the diagnosis of OA. Furthermore, the integrated analysis of metabolomics and transcriptomics showed the top three enrichment in the T cell receptor signaling pathway, Fc epsilon RI (FcεRI) signaling pathway, and thermogenesis, explaining the inflammation, joint destruction and energy metabolism disorders in OA.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication challenges, and repetitive behaviors. Despite extensive research, the molecular mechanisms underlying these neurodevelopmental abnormalities remain elusive. We integrated microscale brain gene expression data with macroscale MRI data from 1829 participants, including individuals with ASD and typically developing controls, from the autism brain imaging data exchange I and II.

The development of a newly fabricated ion-selective electrode (ISE) solid-contacted type for the determination of prucalopride succinate represents a significant advancement in analytical chemistry, particularly in the context of green chemistry principles. The optimization process involved numerous trials to ensure the selection of a cation exchanger and ionophore that offer high sensitivity and selectivity for prucalopride succinate. Through these optimization trials, sodium tetrakis was identified as the most suitable cation exchanger, while calix [8] arene demonstrated the highest affinity towards prucalopride succinate as the ionophore.

Aims: Previous studies have shown that eGDR and TyG, as indicators of insulin resistance (IR), were key risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study further explored the relationship between eGDR change and new-onset CVD, and compared the predictive value of eGDR change, eGDR and TyG.
Materials And Methods: A total of 2895 participants without CVD at baseline from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were included, using K-means clustering and cumulative eGDR to measure eGDR change between 2012 and 2015.

Recent genomic studies have allowed the subdivision of intracranial ependymomas into molecularly distinct groups with highly specific clinical features and outcomes. The majority of supratentorial ependymomas (ST-EPN) harbor ZFTA-RELA fusions which were designated, in general, as an intermediate risk tumor variant. However, molecular prognosticators within ST-EPN ZFTA-RELA have not been determined yet.

Background: Congenital anomalies (CAs) encompass a wide spectrum of structural and functional abnormalities during fetal development, commonly presenting at birth. Identifying the cause of CA is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Using a target-gene approach, genetic variants could be found in certain CA patients.
