Enantioselectivity Effects in Clinical Metabolomics and Lipidomics

Metabolomics and lipidomics have demonstrated increasing importance in underlying biochemical mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of diseases to identify novel drug targets and/or biomarkers for establishing therapeutic approaches for human health. Particularly, bioactive metabolites and lipids have biological activity and have been implicated in various biological processes in physiological conditions. Thus, comprehensive metabolites, and lipids profiling are required to obtain further advances in understanding pathophysiological changes that occur in cells and tissues. Chirality is one of the most important phenomena in living organisms and has attracted long-term interest in medical and natural science. Enantioselective separation plays a pivotal role in understanding the distribution and physiological function of a diversity of chiral bioactive molecules. In this context, it has been the goal of method development for targeted and untargeted metabolomics and lipidomic assays. Herein we will highlight the benefits and challenges involved in these stereoselective analyses for clinical samples.

Crack Damage in Polymers and Composites: A Review

Polymer-based materials are extensively used in various applications such as aircrafts, civilian structures, oil and gas platforms and electronics. They are, however, inherently damage prone and over time, the formation of cracks and microscopic damages influences the thermo-mechanical and electrical properties, which eventually results in the total failure of the materials. This paper provides an overview of the principal causes of cracking in polymer and composites and summarizes the recent progress in the development of non-destructive techniques in crack detection. Furthermore, recent progress in the development of bio-inspired self-healing methods in autonomic repair is discussed.     

Analytical strategies to determine antibiotic residues in fish

The accelerated growth of aquaculture has resulted in a series of harmful effects to human health. The widespread and unrestricted use of antibiotics in this industry, to prevent bacterial infections, leads to remaining amounts in the aquatic environment. This has resulted in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in aquaculture environments, in the increase in antibiotic resistance in fish pathogens as well as in the transfer of these resistance determinants to human pathogens. Moreover, the use of large amounts of antibiotics may lead to the presence of residual antibiotics in fish tissue and fish products. Fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, penicillins, sulphonamides and other antibiotics, exhibiting activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, are widely used for the treatment and prevention of diseases in fish. An extended and comprehensive review on the recent analytical methodologies concerning antibiotic residues in fish reported in the literature is provided in the present article. Emphasis is given on sample preparation regarding isolation and purification, chromatographic conditions and method validation according to legislation. Results of published assays are comparatively presented and criticised.     

Limitations of current proteomics technologies

Application of proteomics technologies in the investigation of biological systems creates new possibilities in the elucidation of biopathomechanisms and the discovery of novel drug targets and early disease markers. A proteomic analysis involves protein separation and protein identification as well as characterization of the post-translational modifications. Proteomics has been applied in the investigation of various disorders, like neurological diseases, and the application has resulted in the detection of a large number of differences in the levels and the modifications of proteins between healthy and diseased states. However, the current proteomics technologies are still under development and show certain limitations. In this article, we discuss the major drawbacks and pitfalls of proteomics we have observed in our laboratory and in particular during the application of proteomics technologies in the investigation of the brain.     

核酸碱基互变异构体的结构、稳定性及其物理化学性质

核酸碱基是DNA及RNA分子的重要组成部分, 在基因遗传信息的传递方面起着主导作用. 核酸碱基存在多种互变异构体, 它们在DNA及RNA分子中主要以最稳定的异构体形式存在, 但是在气相或凝聚相中也有少量的其他异构体形式存在. 核酸碱基的稀有互变异构体往往能够引起碱基对的错配对, 这可能会导致DNA及RNA分子形成不规则的结构, 并进一步导致DNA或RNA双螺旋的自发突变. 因此, 对核酸碱基的互变异构体进行系统的研究, 有助于人们深入认识DNA和RNA分子的结构和性质. 国际上有很多研究小组已经通过实验和理论对核酸碱基互变异构体的结构、相对能量及其性质进行了研究. 本文对文献中有关核酸碱基互变异构体的实验和理论研究进行了综述. 在对前人研究进行归纳总结的基础上, 我们利用密度泛函计算对核酸碱基的互变异构体进行了排序, 得到的最优异构体结构参数和相对能量与实验值相比较为一致. 此外, 因为核酸碱基的物理化学性质可以为生物、化学、材料等方面的研究提供重要的基础性信息, 因此我们还对它们的电子亲和能、电离能、质子亲和能等研究进行了总结.     

Environmental aspects of tributyltin

The tributyltin species, the active ingredient in some antifouling paint formulations, is perhaps the most acutely toxic chemical to aquatic organisms ever deliberately introduced to water. It has been demonstrated to have an adverse effect on shellfish in France and England, and as a consequence the use of tributyltin-containing antifouling paints has been restricted in these countries. Other countries have banned the use of tributyltin-containing antifouling paints or are contemplating restrictions. This article reviews such environmental aspects of tributyltin as methods of analysis, toxicity, environmental occurrence, persistence and fate. Tributyltin concentrations in many locations may be high enough to cause chronic toxicity or harmful effects in some aquatic organisms, and in some locations the tributyltin concentrations may be high enough to be acutely toxic to some organisms. Biological degradation of tributyltin in water and sediment appears to be the most important factor limiting the persistence of tributyltin in aquatic environments. To some degree, then, the persistence of tributyltin in aquatic environments depends upon the nature of the ecosystem. Tributyltin exhibits low-to-medium persistence in water and moderate persistence in sediment. A summary is given of the regulatory status of tributyltin in some countries, and recommendations are made for further research.     

Versican undergoes specific alterations in the fine molecular structure and organization in human aneurysmal abdominal aortas

Versican is the major matrix proteoglycan in aortic wall and participates in various biological functions of the tissue. In the present study the molecular characteristics of versican isolated from normal human aorta as well as those of versican expressed in aneurysmal aortic tissue were examined. Versican was isolated by combined anion-exchange and gel permeation chromatography and was further characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. In both tissues versican is exclusively substituted with chondroitin sulfate chains, in contrast to other human tissues where both chondroitin and dermatan sulfate chains are attached onto versican core proteins. Except for the significant decrease in the concentration of versican in the aneurysmal tissue, this PG undergoes specific alterations in the aneurysmal tissue. The molecular size of versican isolated from diseased tissue is decreased with a simultaneous increase in the ratio of glycosaminoglycan to protein in this tissue. The latter reflect the extensive fragmentation of versican in the diseased tissue and most probably the generation of shorter peptides enriched to glycosaminoglycan chains. Although the size of chondroitin sulfate chains is identical in both versican preparations, a significant increase in the percentage of 6-sulfated disaccharides is observed in chondroitin sulfate chains of versican in aneurysmal aortas, which is accompanied by decrease in 4-sulfated and non-sulfated units.
