A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay, a radioimmunoassay (RIA), an enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) and a fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) method for assaying serum gentamicin were compared in terms of accuracy and precision. Spiked human serum samples in the range of 0-11.6 mg.1(-1) gentamicin were used in all the tests. Regression analysis and analysis of variance were performed. The Performance Index (PI) was used to qualify the different methods. Other aspects of performance were also compared: simplicity, speed, cost, application in relation to workload. After extensive statistical evaluation the FIA method gives the best results.

The effect of aspirin on lumbar degeneration: an imaging-based study.
Front Surg
December 2024
Department of Spine Surgery, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei, China.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate how aspirin influences lumbar degeneration by analyzing the effect of aspirin on patients with low back pain (LBP) and concurrent atherosclerosis.
Methods: Using 1:1 nearest neighbor matching based on propensity score matching (PSM), 73 patients who regularly took aspirin were assigned to the aspirin group, while another 73 patients who did not take aspirin formed the control group. Radiographs were used to measure lumbar lordosis (LL) and intervertebral height index (IHI).
Utilization of Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and High-Resolution Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry to Characterize Therapeutically Relevant Peptides with Asparagine Deamidation and Isoaspartate.
Anal Chem
December 2024
MOBILion Systems, Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania 19317, United States.
Rapid identification of asparagine (Asn) deamidation and isoaspartate (Asp) in proteins remains a challenging analytical task during the development of biological therapeutics. For this study, 46 therapeutically relevant peptides corresponding to 13 peptide families (13 unmodified peptides and 33 modified peptides) were obtained; modified peptides included Asn deamidation and isoAsp. The peptide families were characterized by three methods: reversed-phase ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (RP-UHPLC-MS); flow injection analysis high-resolution ion mobility-mass spectrometry (FIA-HRIM-MS); and shortened gradient RP-UHPLC-HRIM-MS.

Orthopedics Department, The First College of Clinical Medical Science, China Three Gorges University, Yichang, China.
Study Design: Retrospective Case-Control Study.
Background: There have been some previous studies on the risk factors associated with lumbar spondylolisthesis, but there are few studies on the risk factors for disease progression in mild degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS). To analyze the risk factors associated with aggravation of spondylolisthesis in patients with grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis and construct a prediction model.
Non-operative Versus Operative Management of Perianal Abscess in Infants: A 10-year Retrospective Study at Two Centres in the United Kingdom.
J Pediatr Surg
December 2024
Department of Paediatric Surgery, Southampton Children's Hospital, University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, Southampton, UK.
Background: Perianal abscess (PA), with or without fistula-in-ano (FIA) is common in infants. Treatment options include incision and drainage under general anaesthesia or non-operative treatments, such as antibiotics and/or aspiration under local anaesthetic, which avoid the risks of surgery. Current management is based on surgeon preference due to a poor underlying evidence base.

Industrialization has led to environmental pollution with various hazardous chemicals including pollution with metals. In this regard, the development of highly efficient analytical methods for their determination has received considerable attention to ensure public safety. Currently, scientists are paying more and more attention to the automation of analytical methods, since it permits fast, accurate, and sensitive analysis with minimal exposure of analysts to hazardous substances.
