RESUMEN
Precise early diagnosis and staging are conducive to improving the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC) patients. However, due to intrusive inspections and limited sensitivity, the prevailing diagnostic methods impede precisely large-scale screening. In this work, we reported a high-throughput serum metabolic patterns (SMP) screening strategy based on covalent organic frameworks-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (hf-COFsLDI-MS) for early diagnosis and staging of CRC and GC. Notably, 473 high-quality SMP were extracted without any tedious sample pretreatment and coupled with multiple machine learning algorithms; the area under the curve (AUC) value is 0.938 with 96.9% sensitivity for early CRC diagnosis, and the AUC value is 0.974 with 100% sensitivity for early GC diagnosis. Besides, the discrimination of CRC and GC is accomplished with an AUC value of 0.966 for the validation set. Also, the screened-out features were identified by MS/MS experiments, and 8 metabolites were identified as the biomarkers for CRC and GC. Finally, the corresponding disordered metabolic pathways were revealed, and the staging of CRC and GC was completed. This work provides an alternative high-throughput screening strategy for CRC and GC and highlights the potential of metabolic molecular diagnosis in clinical applications.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), along with its progressive forms nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and NASH fibrosis, has emerged as a global health crisis. However, the absence of robust screening and risk evaluation tools contributes to the underdiagnosis of NAFLD. Herein, we reported a multichannel nanogenerator-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) platform for early screening and risk evaluation of NAFLD. Specifically, titanium oxide nanosheets (TiNS) and covalent-organic framework nanosheets (COFNS) were employed as nanogenerators with excellent optical properties and exhibited efficient desorption/ionization during the LDI-MS process. Only â¼0.025 µL of serum without pretreatments and separation, serum metabolic fingerprints (SMFs) can be extracted within seconds. Notably, integrated SMFs from TiNS and COFNS significantly improved diagnostic performance and achieved the area under the curve (AUC) values of 1.000 with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity for the validation sets of global diagnosis, early diagnosis, high-risk NASH, and NASH fibrosis evaluation. Additionally, four biomarker panels were identified, and their diagnostic AUC values were more than 0.944. Ultimately, key metabolic pathways indicating the change from simple NAFLD to high-risk NASH and NASH fibrosis were uncovered. This work provided a noninvasive and high-throughput screening and risk evaluation strategy for NAFLD healthcare management, thus contributing to the precise treatment of the NALFD.
