Background: Rare studies focused on the tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) findings for the primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) in the neonates in China mainland. In this study, we aim to analyze the gene mutation spectrum of PCD in Fujian Province in China mainland.
Methods: Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) samples used in this study were selected from 95,453 cases underwent neonatal screening between May 2015 and February 2020. SLC22A5 gene sequencing was performed on the neonates and their parents with C0 level of less than 8.8 μmol/L.
Results: Ten patients (male: 7; female: 3) were finally included in this study. Among these patients, nine were neonates, and one was maternal decline of C0 of less than 8.8 μmol/L. The maternal case showed two types of mutations of SLC22A5 including c.760C>T(p.R254*) and c.1400C>G(p.S467C). The other nine neonates showed compound mutations involving nine types in 18 sites, among which two mutations [i.e., c.37G>T(p.E13*) and c.694A>G(p.T232A)] were novel that had never been reported before. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that c.37G>T(p.E13*) was a pathogenic mutation, while the c.694A>G (p.T232A) was considered to be likely pathogenic.
Conclusion: MS/MS screening on PCD contributed to the early diagnosis and screening. In addition, SLC22A5 gene mutation analysis contributed to the PCD screening.

This study introduces novel cospray-dried (Co-SD) formulations of simvastatin, a Nrf2 activator ROCK inhibitor, with l-carnitine as molecular mixtures in various molar ratios for targeted pulmonary inhalation aerosol delivery in pulmonary hypertension, optimized for excipient-free dry powder inhalers (DPIs). The two components were spray-dried at various molar ratios by using different starting feed solution concentrations and process parameters. In addition to comprehensive physicochemical characterization, in vitro aerosol dispersion performance as DPIs using two FDA-approved DPI devices with different shear stress properties, in vitro viability as a function of dose on 2D human pulmonary cellular monolayers and on 3D small airway epithelia human primary cultures at the air-liquid interface (ALI), and in vitro transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) at the ALI were conducted.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe cardio-pulmonary vascular disease, involves complex molecular mechanism especially during the pathological process of pulmonary vascular remodeling, brings a significant challenge to clinical treatment and thus resulting in high mortality rates. Classic Traditional Chinese medicine formula, Zhishi Xiebai Guizhi Decoction (ZXGD), holds therapeutic potential for PH. In present study, we sought to explore therapeutic potential of ZXGD against PH in rats.

Primary carnitine deficiency may mimic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and be mistakenly attributed to genotype-negative sarcomeric protein dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Although rare, timely diagnosis may have significant implications on management and should prompt testing of family members.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% of the global population and leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Hemodialysis is a common treatment for ESRD, but patients often have low carnitine levels, leading to dyslipidemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of mortality. This study aimed to assess the effects of L-carnitine on lipid profiles in adult hemodialysis patients.

Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic eukaryotes responsible for CO fixation and primary production in aquatic ecosystems. The cosmopolitan marine diatom can form seasonal blooms in coastal areas and interact with various microorganisms, including the parasitic oomycete . This unicellular eukaryote is mainly present in the northern hemisphere as an obligate parasite of the genus Understanding the interplay of abiotic factors such as temperature and biotic factors like parasitism on algal physiology is crucial as it dictates plankton community composition and is especially relevant during environmental changes and warming events.
