Targeted metabolomics requires accurate and precise quantification of candidate biomarkers, often through tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis. Differential isotope labeling (DIL) improves mass spectrometric (MS) analysis in metabolomics by derivatizing metabolites with two isotopic forms of the same reagent. Despite its advantages, DIL-liquid chromatographic (LC)-MS/MS can result in substantial increase in workload when fully validated quantitative methods are required. To decrease the workload, we hypothesized that single point calibration or relative quantification could be used as alternative methods. Either approach will result in significant saving in resources and time. To test our hypothesis, six urinary metabolites were selected as model compounds. Urine samples were analyzed using a fully validated multipoint dansyl chloride-DIL-LC-MS/MS method. Samples were reprocessed using single point calibration and relative quantification modes. Our results demonstrated that the performance of single point calibration or relative quantification was inferior, for some metabolites, to multipoint calibration. The lower limit of quantification failed in the quantification of ethanolamine in most of participant samples using single point calibration. In addition, its precision was not acceptable in one participant during serine and ethanolamine quantification. On the other hand, relative quantification resulted in the least accurate data. In fact, none of the data generated from relative quantification for serine was comparable to that obtained from multipoint calibration. Finally, while single point calibration showed an overall acceptable performance for the majority of the model compounds, we cannot extrapolate the findings to other metabolites within the same analytical run. Analysts are advised to assess accuracy and precision for each metabolite in which single point calibration is the intended quantification mean.

An approach for monitoring temperature on fruit surface by means of thermal point cloud.

Authors:
Nikos Tsoulias Sven Jörissen Andreas Nüchter

MethodsX 2022 26;9:101712. Epub 2022 Apr 26.

Department of Informatics VII-Robotics and Telematics, Julius-Maximilians-University Würzburg, Würzburg 97074, Germany.

Heat and excessive solar radiation can produce abiotic stresses during apple maturation, resulting fruit quality. Therefore, the monitoring of temperature on fruit surface (FST) over the growing period can allow to identify thresholds, above of which several physiological disorders such as sunburn may occur in apple. The current approaches neglect spatial variation of FST and have reduced repeatability, resulting in unreliable predictions. Read More

Development and Validation of a Nomogram Based on Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index to Predict Surgical Site Infection Among Gynecologic Oncology Patients.

Authors:
Zhihui Chen Mingchen Zhong Ziqin Xu Qing Ye Wenwen Xie Shengchun Gao Le Chen Lidan Qiu Jiaru Jiang Hongmei Wu Xiuyang Li Haihong Wang

Front Nutr 2022 27;9:864761. Epub 2022 Apr 27.

Department of Infection Control, Wenzhou People's Hospital, Wenzhou, China.

Background: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a commonly used method to assess nutritional risk for predicting potential surgical site infections (SSI) in cancer patients. This study aims to create and verify a simple nomogram and a dynamic web-based calculator for predicting the risk of SSI among gynecologic oncology patients.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation was conducted on patients who were admitted into a tertiary hospital in China with confirmed diagnosis of gynecologic cancer between 01 August 2017 and 30 November 2021. Read More

Responsivity of Fractal Nanoparticle Assemblies to Multiple Stimuli: Structural Insights on the Modulation of the Optical Properties.

Multi-responsive nanomaterials based on the self-limited assembly of plasmonic nanoparticles are of great interest due to their widespread employment in sensing applications. We present a thorough investigation of a hybrid nanomaterial based on the protein-mediated aggregation of gold nanoparticles at varying protein concentration, pH and temperature. By combining Small Angle X-ray Scattering with extinction spectroscopy, we are able to frame the morphological features of the formed fractal aggregates in a theoretical model based on patchy interactions.

Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO.

Accurate and repeatable assessments of three-dimensional (3D) skeletal morphology are critical to interpretations of vertebrate functional anatomy. In skeletal specimens, these goals can be accomplished using in-silico models derived from 3D laser scan, photogrammetry, or computed tomography (CT) data. Assessments of skeletal morphology in living subjects, especially humans, are more challenging and are often either cost-prohibitive (e. Read More

Background: Communication is essential to establish patient-caregivers relationship in the intensive care unit. Intubated patients are not able to speak because the tracheal tube prevents vocalization. Use of communication tools such as eye tracking device could improve communication with intubated patients.
