RESUMO

Hypothyroidism has been found to have an effect on the nutritional composition of human milk during pregnancy. This study aims to explore the combined influence of rheological properties, macronutrient content, particle size, and the zeta potential of milk fat globules, as well as the composition of milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) proteins on the quality of human milk in gestational hypothyroidism. The study revealed that human milk from the group with hypothyroidism during pregnancy (AHM) was less viscoelastic and stable when compared with normal pregnancy group human milk (NHM). Furthermore, the particle size and macronutrient content of NHM were found to be larger than that of AHM. In contrast, the zeta potential of AHM was greater than that of NHM. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE results disclosed that the composition of MFGM proteins in these 2 groups were generally the same, but the content of AHM was lower than that of NHM. In conclusion, this study confirms that hypothyroidism during pregnancy can have a significant effect on the quality of human milk.

RESUMO

Increased oxidative stress is one of the critical pathologies inducing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), characterized by retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell damage and death. The unbalanced acetylation and deacetylation of histones have been implicated in AMD pathogenesis or hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced cell damage. Therefore, strategies aimed at controlling the balance between acetylation and deacetylation may effectively protect RPE cells from oxidative damage. Artemisinin is an antimalarial lactone drug derived from Artemisia annua, with antioxidant activity known to modulate histone acetylation in the brain, but its effect on the retina is unknown. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether Artemisinin exerts a cytoprotective effect on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in RPE cells by regulating histone acetylation. We hypothesized that Artemisinin confers cytoprotection toward H2O2-induced apoptosis in RPE cells through this mechanism. In the present study, we found that Artemisinin at a sub-clinic dosage of 20 µM inhibited the H2O2-induced cell viability decrease and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) protein level decrease and attenuated the H2O2-induced decrease in the histone H4 lysine (Lys) 8 acetylation [Acetyl-H4 (Lys 8)] level in the retinal RPE cell line D407. As expected, histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin A at the concentration of 250 nM increased the Acetyl-H4 (Lys 8) level in D407 cells and attenuated the H2O2-induced cell viability decrease and apoptosis. Similar findings were obtained using adult RPE (ARPE)19 cells, another human RPE cell line, and primary human RPE cell cultures. In conclusion, these results confirmed our hypothesis and indicated that Artemisinin attenuated H2O2-induced apoptosis in apparent correlation with the increase in the Acetyl-H4 (Lys 8) level, which is associated with gene transcription and cell survival. By modulating histone acetylation, Artemisinin may restore the balance between acetylation and deacetylation and enhance the resistance and survival of RPE cells under oxidative stress. Our study provides novel mechanistic insights into the effect of Artemisinin on histone acetylation and apoptosis in RPE cells and supports the potential application of Artemisinin in the prevention and/or treatment of AMD.

RESUMO

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ligustrazine on levels of amino acid transmitters in the extracellular fluid of striatum following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. A microdialysis cannula guide was implanted into the right striatum. After recovery, animals underwent a sham operation or middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Those that developed cerebral ischemia after MCAO were randomized to receive propylene glycol salt water and ligustrazine respectively. Striatal fluid samples were collected from all animals at 15-min intervals after treatment and were subjected to HPLC analysis of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, taurine, and γ-amino butyric acid. Upon the last sample collection, animals were sacrificed and brain tissue specimens were collected for triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and NeuN staining. Compared with the sham operation, MCAO induced significant neurological deficits and increased striatal concentrations of the four neurotransmitters assessed in a time-dependent manner (P < 0.01). Ligustrazine effectively attenuated the detrimental effects of MCAO on the brain. These observations suggest that ligustrazine as a novel cerebral infarction-protective agent may have potential clinical implications for I/R-related brain damage.

RESUMO

The school bus is an important mode of transportation for school-age children, and safety-related issues are always the focus of public concern. Fatal hyperthermia occurring in school buses is an uncommon type of school bus-related injury. An internet search using Chinese internet search engines based on various combinations of keywords including 'vehicles', 'school bus', 'children or babies', 'hyperthermia or heat stroke' and 'death' was performed. Forty-seven cases of fatal hyperthermia in children which occurred in school buses were retrieved in the study. High ambient temperature, younger age and poor management were identified as risk factors. There is a lack of consensus regarding the legal nature and liability for fatal hyperthermia occurring in school buses. Pre-employment education should be focused on awareness of the dangers of leaving children alone in a school bus. Most importantly, the relevant legislation and regulations on school buses should be implemented. An internal alarm-raising system is recommended to avoid this kind of tragedy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To explore the neuroprotective mechanism of artemisinin against ischemic stroke from the perspective of NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis. METHODS: Serum metabolomics technology was used to analyze the serum samples of mice, and KEGG metabolic pathway was analyzed for the different metabolites in the samples. PIT model and OGD/R model were used to simulate ischemic stroke damage in vivo and in vitro. Hoechst 33342 staining, Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and TUNEL staining were used to detect the pyroptosis rate of cells. The contents of IL-1ß and IL-18 in PC12 cells and serum of mice were detected by ELISA. The expressions of NLRP3, ASC-1, Caspase-1 and TXNIP in PC12 cells and mouse brain tissue were detected by Western Blot. RESULTS: Serum metabolic profiles of animal models identified 234 different metabolites and 91 metabolic pathways. Compared with the Sham group and the Stroke+ART group, the KEGG pathway in the Stroke group was concentrated in the Necroptosis pathway associated with cell growth and death, and the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis pathway was activated in the Necroptosis pathway after ischemic stroke. The results of in vivo and in vitro experiments showed that pretreatment with 10 µM artemisinin reduced ROS production, decreased Δψm, reduced pyroptosis, maintained neuronal cell morphology, and down-regulated the contents of IL-1ß and IL-18 as well as the expression of key proteins of NLRP3, ASC-1, Caspase-1 and TXNIP(p<0.01). CONCLUSION: Artemisinin can reduce neuronal pyroptosis induced by ischemic stroke by inhibiting ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway.

RESUMO

Temperature fluctuations occurring during the cold chain logistics of salmon contribute to lipid oxidation. This study aimed to simulate cold chain interruption through freeze-thaw operations and evaluate the lipidomics data from salmon samples subjected to different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles by using rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) combined with an intelligent surgical knife (iKnife). The results indicated significant differences in the relative abundance of characteristic ions among the samples (p < 0.05). A total of 34 ions with variable importance for the projection values ≥1 were identified as potential biomarkers, including m/z 719.4233 ([PCC36:5-NH(CH3)3]-), m/z 337.3134 ([FAC22:1]-), m/z 720.4666 ([PEC35:6-H]-), m/z 309.2780 ([FAC20:1]-), m/z 777.4985 ([PCC40:4-NH(CH3)3]-), m/z 745.4421 ([PCC38:6-NH(CH3)3]-/[PEC38:6-NH3]-), m/z 747.4665 ([PCC38:5-NH(CH3)3]-/[PEC38:5-NH3]-), etc. The degree of lipid oxidation was found to be associated with the number of freeze-thaw cycles, exhibiting the most significant alterations in the relative abundance of lipid ions in the 8T samples. Additionally, sensory evaluation by the CIE-L*a*b* method and volatile analysis by headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated significant differences (p < 0.05) in color and odor among the salmon samples, with a correlation to the number of freeze-thaw cycles. The primary compounds responsible for alterations in salmon odor were aldehydes with lower odor thresholds. In summary, the iKnife-REIMS method accurately differentiated salmon muscle tissues based on varying levels of lipid oxidation, thus expanding the application of REIMS.

RESUMO

Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is the most widespread and harmful form of shellfish poisoning with high mortality rate. In this study, a combined desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ/MS) method was established for the detection of PSPs in urine. The method was optimized using a spray solution of methanol and water (1:1, v/v) containing 0.1 % FA, at a flow rate of 2.5 µL·min-1 and an applied voltage of 3 kV. The limit of detection (LOD) for PSPs detection by DESI-MS was in the range of 87-265 µg·L-1, which basically meets the requirements for the rapid screening of PSPs. The LOD for UPLC-QqQ/MS was in the range of 2.2-14.9 µg·L-1, with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 7.3-49.7 µg·L-1, thus fulfilling the quantitative demand for PSPs in urine. Finally, after spiking the urine samples of six volunteers with PSPs to a concentration of 100 µg·L-1, DESI-MS successfully and efficiently detected the positive samples. Subsequently, UPLC-QqQ/MS was employed for precise quantification, yielding results in the range of 84.6-95.1 µg·L-1. The experimental findings demonstrated that the combination of DESI-MS and UPLC-QqQ/MS enables high-throughput, rapid screening of samples and accurate quantification of positive samples, providing assurance for food safety and human health.

RESUMO

The authenticity of fish products has become a widespread issue in markets due to substitution and false labeling. Lipidomics combined with chemometrics enables the fraudulence identification of food through the analysis of a large amount of data. This study utilized ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-QE Orbitrap MS technology to comprehensively analyze the lipidomics of commercially available basa catfish and sole fish. In positive and negative ion modes, a total of 779 lipid molecules from 21 lipid subclasses were detected, with phospholipid molecules being the most abundant, followed by glycerides molecules. Significant differences in the lipidome fingerprinting between the two fish species were observed. A total of 165 lipid molecules were screened out as discriminative features to distinguish between basa catfish and sole fish, such as TAG(16:0/16:0/18:1), PC(14:0/22:3), and TAG(16:1/18:1/18:1), etc. This study could provide valuable insights into authenticating aquatic products through comprehensive lipidomics analysis, contributing to quality control and consumer protection in the food industry.

RESUMO

In this study, an enzymatic reaction was developed for synthesizing pure triacylglycerols (TAG) with a high content of palmitoleic acid (POA) using fish byproduct oil. The characteristics of synthesized structural TAGs rich in POA (POA-TAG) were analyzed in detail through ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography Q Exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry. Optimal conditions were thoroughly investigated and determined for reaction systems, including the use of Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435, 15 wt % lipase loading, substrate mass ratio of 1:3, and water content of 2.5 and 0.5 wt %, respectively, resulting in yields of 67.50 and 67.45% for POA-TAG, respectively. Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that TAG 16:1/16:1/20:4, TAG 16:1/16:1/16:1, TAG 16:1/16:1/18:1, and TAG 16:0/16:1/18:1 were the main variables in Lipozyme TL IM and Novozym 435 enzyme-catalyzed products under different water content conditions. Finally, the fate of POA-TAG across the gastrointestinal tract was simulated using an in vitro digestion model. The results showed that the maximum release of free fatty acids and apparent rate constants were 71.44% and 0.0347 s-1, respectively, for POA-TAG lipids, and the physical and structural characteristics during digestion depended on their microenvironments. These findings provide a theoretical basis for studying the rational design of POA-structural lipids and exploring the nutritional and functional benefits of POA products.

RESUMO

Larimichthys crocea (LYC) holds significant economic value as a marine fish species. However, inaccuracies in labeling its origin can adversely affect consumer interests. Herein, a laser assisted rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) and machine learning (ML) was developed for geographical authentication. When compared to iKnife, the LA demonstrated to be superior owing to reduced thermal damage to sample tissue, enhanced automation, and ease of use. Analysis of LYC from six distinct geographical origins across China revealed a total of 798 ions, which were then subjected to six classifiers to establish ML models. Following hyperparameter optimization and feature engineering, the Chi2(15%)-KNN model exhibited the highest training and testing accuracy, achieving 98.4 ± 0.9% and 98.5 ± 1.4%, respectively. This LA-REIMS/ML methodology offers a rapid, accurate, and intelligent solution for tracing the origin of LYC, thereby providing valuable technical support for the establishment of traceability systems in the aquatic product industry.

RESUMO

The illegal adulteration of non-dairy cream in milk fat cream during the manufacturing process of baked goods has significantly hindered the robust growth of the dairy industry. In this study, a method based on rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) lipidomics pattern recognition integrated with machine learning algorithms was established. A total of 26 ions with importance were picked using multivariate statistical analysis as salient contributing features to distinguish between milk fat cream and non-dairy cream. Furthermore, employing discriminant analysis, decision trees, support vector machines, and neural network classifiers, machine learning models were utilized to classify non-dairy cream, milk fat cream, and minute quantities of non-dairy cream adulterated in milk fat cream. These approaches were enhanced through hyperparameter optimization and feature engineering, yielding accuracy rates at 98.4-99.6%. This artificial intelligent method of machine learning-guided REIMS pattern recognition can accurately identify adulteration of whipped cream and might help combat food fraud.

RESUMO

Comprehensive screening for functional substances from natural resources is always a hot research topic. Eicosapentaenoic acid- (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-structured phospholipids (PLEPA/DHA) have versatile cardiovascular benefits as well as superior bioavailability. Herein, the abundance of PLEPA/DHA in 16 aquatic products was specifically and selectively screened using a recently developed precursor ion scan-driven hydrophilic interaction chromatography-mass spectrometry (PreIS-HILIC/MS) method with the fatty acyl moieties of EPA (m/z 301.6) and DHA (m/z 327.6) locked. The aim focused on the characteristics and differences in the varieties and contents of EPA/DHA-structured phosphatidylcholine (PCEPA/DHA) and EPA/DHA-structured phosphatidylethanolamine (PEEPA/DHA) molecular species. A total of 80 PLEPA/DHA molecules were identified in these natural sources, including 47 PCEPA/DHA and 33 PEEPA/DHA. After analysis, PC 16:0/20:5 and PC 16:0/22:6 are present in all aquatic products and at high levels. Antarctic krill was found to be the best resource of PLEPA/DHA in total (2574.69 µg·g-1), followed by mackerel (2330.11 µg·g-1), salmon (2109.91 µg·g-1), and Farrer's scallop (1883.59 µg·g-1), while abalone contained the lowest level of PLEPA/DHA (310.44 µg·g-1). Besides, sea cucumber and sea bass contained the highest contents of EPA-structured and DHA-structured ether phospholipids, respectively, which could be highly recommended as dietary sources of special functional phospholipids. Finally, the multiple discrepancies between the 16 aquatic products were revealed by multivariate statistical analysis. These findings improve the awareness of the composition and content of PLEPA/DHA contained in aquatic products, providing a reference for their integrated development.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the absorption characteristics and transportation mechanism Yangyin Tongnao granules in main effective fractions in Caco-2 cell model. METHOD: The safety concentrations of Yangyin Tongnao granules in main effective fractions in Caco-2 cells. A Caco-2 cell model was established to study the transport situations after the compatibility of Yangyin Tongnao granules in main effective fractions, and the content was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULT: P(app) of puerarin, ligustrazine and astragaloside were less than 1.0 x 10(-6) cm x s(-1), and their P(app) were hard to be close to atenolol. The oral absorption in descending order is shown as the following: puerarin, ligustrazine, astragaloside. After the compatibility between saponins and flavonoids, P(app) of astragaloside was improved obviously, which promoted the transport from apical (AP) to basolateral (BL); the compatibility of puerarin, ligustrazine and astragaloside showed a significant effect in the efflux of astragaloside and no change in the absorption transport of ligustrazine and puerarin at the same time. There is a great difference in bidirectional transport of representative component of each effective fraction, and P(app)(B --> A) was significantly greater than Papp(A --> B), which suggested that the efflux transport from BL side to AP side had an advantage in the three representative components of the three effective fractions in Caco-2 cell monolayer model. CONCLUSION: Astragaloside, ligustrazine and puerarin may be malabsorptive compounds, and the three compounds may be discharged by the transport protein in small intestine membrane.

RESUMO

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its binding proteins and receptors are widely expressed in the central nervous system (CNS), proposing IGF-1-induced neurotrophic actions in normal growth, development, and maintenance. However, while there is convincing evidence that the IGF-1 system has specific endocrine roles in the CNS, the concept is emerging that IGF-I might be also important in disorders such as ischemic stroke, brain trauma, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, etc., by inducing neuroprotective effects towards glutamate-mediated excitotoxic signaling pathways. Research in rodent models has demonstrated rescue of pathophysiological and behavioral abnormalities when IGF-1 was administered by different routes, and several clinical studies have shown safety and promise of efficacy in neurological disorders of the CNS. Focusing on the relationship between IGF-1-induced neuroprotection and glutamate-induced excitatory neurotoxicity, this review addresses the research progress in the field, intending to provide a rationale for using IGF-I clinically to confer neuroprotective therapy towards neurological diseases with glutamate excitotoxicity as a common pathological pathway.

RESUMO

Significant inroads have been achieved in our understanding of neuropathology with the discovery of the crosstalk between the nervous and immune systems. In the neuro-immune crosstalk, interleukin-15 (IL-15) and its receptors are essential mediators. The IL-15 system has been found to act on peripheral metabolism, including glucose, lipid and energy homeostasis. Nevertheless, whether it promotes neuropsychiatric disorders by affecting CNS metabolism remains unclear, warranting further exploration. Herein, we performed untargeted GC-MS metabolomics between Il-15rα mutant mice and wildtype mice. The results showed that Il-15rα mutation led to metabolic alternations in the cortex and hippocampus, some of which potentially exert detrimental effects on brain health. The identification of neurotransmitter (GABA and 5-hydroxytryptophan), energy (glycolysis and ketone bodies) and lipid (cholesterol and fatty acids) metabolism disorders corroborates the findings of previous studies on the IL-15 system. Moreover, anandamide and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate were novel potential candidates. These findings enhance our understanding of the IL-15 system and its interactions with neuropsychiatric disorders.

RESUMO

Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is an ancient chronic infectious disease and is still the leading cause of death worldwide due to a single infectious disease. MTB can achieve immune escape by interacting with host cells through its special cell structure and secreting a variety of effector proteins. Innate immunity-related pattern recognition receptors (PPR receptors) play a key role in the regulation of signaling pathways. In this review, we focus on the latest research progress on related signal transduction molecules in the interaction between MTB and the host. In addition, we provide new research ideas for the development of new anti-tuberculosis drug targets and lead compounds and provide an overview of information useful for approaching future tuberculosis host-oriented treatment research approaches and strategies, which has crucial scientific guiding significance and research value.

RESUMO

Minced shrimp is popular seafood due to its delicious flavor and nutritional value. However, the biological species of raw material of minced shrimp are not distinguished by naked eyes after processing. Thus, an in situ and real-time minced shrimp authentication method was established using iKnife rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) based lipidomics. The samples were analyzed under ambient ionization without any tedious preparation step. Seven economic shrimp samples were tested, whose phenotypes were used to develop a real-time recognition model. A total of 19 fatty acids and 45 phospholipid molecular species were efficiently identified and statistically analyzed by multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed that the seven shrimp species were well distinguished, and the most contributing ions at m/z 255.2, 279.2, 301.2, 327.2, 699.5, 742.5, etc., were revealed by variable importance in projection. The proposed iKnife REIMS showed excellent performance in minced shrimp authentication.

RESUMO

The price of mammalian milk from different animal species varies greatly due to differences in their yield and nutritional value. Therefore, the authenticity of dairy products has become a hotspot issue in the market due to the replacement or partial admixture of high-cost milk with its low-cost analog. Herein, four common commercial varieties of milk, including goat milk, buffalo milk, Holstein cow milk, and Jersey cow milk, were successfully profiled and differentiated from each other by rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) combined with chemometric analysis. This method was developed as a real-time lipid fingerprinting technique. Moreover, the established chemometric algorithms based on multivariate statistical methods mainly involved principal component analysis, orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis, and linear discriminant analysis as the screening and verifying tools to provide insights into the distinctive molecules constituting the four varieties of milk. The ions with m/z 229.1800, 243.1976, 257.2112, 285.2443, 299.2596, 313.2746, 341.3057, 355.2863, 383.3174, 411.3488, 439.3822, 551.5051, 577.5200, 628.5547, 656.5884, 661.5455, 682.6015, and 684.6146 were selected as potential classified markers. The results of the present work suggest that the proposed method could serve as a reference for recognizing dairy fraudulence related to animal species and expand the application field of REIMS technology.
