The applicability of coupled reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-NMR spectroscopy for the detection and identification of paracetamol (N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide) and its sulfate, glucuronide and N-acetylcysteinyl metabolites in the unprocessed biological fluids, human urine, rat urine and rat bile, is investigated. Analysis of these samples was performed by gradient HPLC elution and directly coupled 500 MHz 1H NMR spectroscopy detection using a combination of one- and two-dimensional NMR methods in stopped-flow mode. The stopped-flow approach is demonstrated to be an efficient technique for identification of drug metabolites which have, for example, a UV-chromophore. Stopped-flow HPLC analysis with NMR detection is a viable technique and halting the chromatographic process several times during a run has a negligible effect on the separation and NMR characterization. The post-acquisition data processing method of 'quantified maximum entropy' is shown to provide a means of improving the quality of spectra for minor components, thus aiding NMR resonance assignments.

The presence of pesticide residues in textiles poses a risk to human health. We established a robust and high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of 115 pesticide residues in textiles. In this study, we evaluated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry conditions and sample extraction methods, including separation performance of different columns, mass conditions, extraction solvent, and extraction time.

Background: Endogenous sex hormones in postmenopausal women have been associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the association between endogenous sex hormones and the revised Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (rFSRP) in postmenopausal women.
Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study on the Vara-Skövde cohort, a Swedish population-based study for longitudinal surveillance of the development and progress of type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Urinary proteomics is emerging as a potent tool for detecting sensitive and non-invasive biomarkers. At present, the comparability of urinary proteomics data across diverse liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) platforms remains an area that requires investigation. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of urinary proteome across multiple LC-MS platforms.

Background And Aims: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized notably by gut microbial dysbiosis and insufficient dietary fiber intake. This study aims to investigate the effect of dietary fiber placebo-controlled intervention in patients suffering from AUD during a three-week period of alcohol withdrawal, in order to discover microbial-derived metabolites that could be involved in metabolic and behavioral status.
Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was performed with 50 AUD patients supplemented with inulin (prebiotic dietary fiber) or maltodextrin (placebo) during 17 days.

Benzophenone derivatives (BPs), as synthetic chemicals widely used in personal care products, have drawn increasing attention due to their potential health risks. However, monitoring BPs in biological samples remains challenging due to their complex matrices and the deficiency in sensitivity and selectivity in current methods. Herein, a method combining hierarchically flower-like hollow covalent organic frameworks (HFH-COFs) with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was established for the enrichment and detection of BPs in serum samples.
