AI Article Synopsis

  • Researchers developed a method to create stable isotope-labeled internal standards needed for accurate DNA modification analysis using mass spectrometry.
  • The synthesis process involves converting [C,N]-2'-deoxythymidine into [C,N]-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine and further oxidizing it to form various derivatives.
  • Optimized protocols were also established for oxidizing [C,N]-thymine into several compounds, enhancing the potential for precise quantitative analysis in DNA studies.

Article Abstract

Reliable quantitative analysis of DNA modification using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry requires stable isotope-labeled internal standards. Only some of them are commercially available. Here we present a method allowing for the synthesis of [C,N]-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine from [C,N]-2'-deoxythymidine. We also describe an approach for the oxidation of [C,N]-5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine and [C,N]-2'-deoxythymidine with NaSO, leading to the generation of [C,N]-5-formyl-2'-deoxycytidine, [C,N]-5-carboxy-2'-deoxycytidine or [C,N]-5-(hydroxymethyl)-2'-deoxyuridine, correspondingly. Moreover, we provide optimized protocols for the oxidation of [C,N]-thymine to [C,N]-5-hydroxymethyluracil, [C,N]-5-formyluracil, and [C,N]-5-carboxyuracil using NaSO.

Aims: Structured clinical interviewing is considered the gold standard in psychiatric diagnosis. The Diagnostic Assessment Research Tool (DART) is a novel modularized, non-copywritten, semi-structured interview; however, no studies have examined the psychometric properties of its alcohol use disorder (AUD) module. The primary aims of this study were to: (i) validate the factor structure of the DART AUD module and (ii) examine measurement invariance across several key demographic and subgroup factors.

Background: Whether diabetic retinopathy (DR) can predict kidney disease progression in individuals with diabetes remains unclear. Furthermore, there are only a limited number of studies investigating the association between DR and kidney outcomes classified according to baseline kidney function and albuminuria status. Here, we examined the association of DR with kidney disease progression in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Importance: The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) reports multiple indicators of hospital surgical performance, including hospital risk-standardized 30-day readmission rates (RSRRs). Currently, most routinely reported measures do not include readmissions that occur outside VHA hospitals. The impact of readmissions outside the VHA on hospital RSRR is not known.
