The average free choline level was determined to be 14 mumol/L in peritoneal dialysates and 22 mumol/L in the plasma of 30 patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Daily choline loss via dialysate averaged 129 mumol with 32 mumol choline lost per dwell. Daily choline loss via the dialysate was positively correlated with plasma choline concentrations. Choline levels in dialysate during CAPD exceed plasma levels of choline 9 mumol/L in healthy individuals.

Phosphatidylcholine is a ubiquitous phospholipid. It contains a phosphocholine (PC) headgroup and polyunsaturated fatty acids that, when oxidized, form reactive oxidized phospholipids (PC-OxPLs). PC-OxPLs are pathogenic in multiple diseases and neutralized by anti-PC IgM antibodies.

Intravenously administered nanoparticles (NPs) often bind with plasma proteins, forming the protein corona that promotes rapid systemic clearance, a primary challenge in nanomedicine. In this study, we developed a pH- and GSH-sensitive "stealth" nanodelivery system, PTX@NPs-aPD1-IL, for sequential drug release. By using a biocompatible choline-based ionic liquid (IL) as the coating for NPs, the interaction and adsorption of NPs with serum proteins were reduced, achieving targeted delivery to the lung organ and increasing drug accumulation.

This study evaluated dynamics of antibodies in dogs treated for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL). Twenty-one dogs naturally infected by Leishmania spp. were grouped based on the treatment protocol: G1 (n=4) received allopurinol; G2 (n=10) allopurinol with miltefosine; and G3 (n=7) allopurinol, miltefosine and Leish-Tec® vaccine.

Gray mold is an important disease of crops and is widespread, harmful, difficult to control, and prone to developing fungicide resistance. Screening new fungicides is an important step in controlling this disease. Hydroxychloroquine is an anti-inflammatory and anti-malarial agent, which has shown marked inhibitory activity against many fungi in medicine.

Purpose To develop and evaluate the performance of NNFit, a self-supervised deep-learning method for quantification of high-resolution short echo-time (TE) echo-planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) datasets, with the goal of addressing the computational bottleneck of conventional spectral quantification methods in the clinical workflow. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 89 short-TE whole-brain EPSI/GRAPPA scans from clinical trials for glioblastoma (Trial 1, May 2014-October 2018) and major-depressive-disorder (Trial 2, 2022- 2023). The training dataset included 685k spectra from 20 participants (60 scans) in Trial 1.
