Article Abstract
A study of size exclusion and enrichment of proteins employing strong cation-exchange diol silica restricted access material (SCX-RAM) under saturation conditions is presented. Experiments were carried out with bacitracin, protamine, ribonuclease, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin as individual proteinaceous analytes as well as comprehensive binary mixtures and with human urine samples. Protein size dependent capacity features of the SCX-RAM column was observed. Bacitracin demonstrated the highest capacity followed by protamine while adsorption capacities of both ribonuclease and lysozyme were found smaller by a factor of 10. Applying binary protein samples occurring displacement effects were apparent: proteins with strong cationic properties displaced those already adsorbed by the bonded cation-exchange ligands. Bacitracin was displaced in all binary mixture experiments in particular by protamine. Furthermore, the binary mixtures displayed increased adsorption for some proteins due to complex formation. Lysozyme and ribonuclease showed double capacity values when paired with bacitracin. Both phenomena, displacement and enhanced adsorption occurred in the saturated state and led to changes in the urine composition during sample preparation. Injecting urine samples the relative proportions of fractions changed from 4 up to more than 20 times, due to the differences of the protein adsorption capacities on the SCX-RAM column. Analysing urine samples the SCX-RAM column provided extensive long-term stability.

Objectives: To investigate the mechanism of (QJZ) for ameliorating renal damage in MRL/lpr mice.
Methods: With 6 female C57BL/6 mice as the normal control group, 30 female MRL/lpr mice were randomized into model group, QJZ treatment groups at low, moderate and high doses, and prednisone treatment group (6). After 8 weeks of treatment, the mice were examined for 24-h urine protein, creatinine and albumin levels, serum levels of IgG, complement 3 (C3), C4, anti-dsDNA, interferon γ (IFN‑γ) and interleukin 17 (IL-17).

Background: Determination of the estradiol hormone in urine is crucial for evaluating congenital adrenal hyperplasia, certain hormone-producing ovarian tumors, polycystic ovary syndrome, liver disease, pregnancy, and infertility. On the other hand, steroid hormones can have destructive effects on the environment, animals, and the endocrine system of humans. Consequently, accurately measuring this hormone's concentration in trace amounts is essential for environmental safety and human health.

Background: This study characterized the urinary pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of linezolid (LNZ) in critically ill patients with renal impairment and nosocomial multidrug-resistant Gram-positive urinary tract infections (UTIs). The aim was to address therapeutic challenges arising from limited treatment options and uncertain urinary excretion, to establish optimized dosing strategies.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in ICU patients with renal impairment.

Background: Endometriosis diagnosis is challenging due to non-specific symptoms that overlap with other gynaecological conditions. This study proposes a non-invasive Machine Learning (ML) ‒ based urine test using Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy for rapid, high-throughput screening.
Methods: A total of 302 symptomatic patients presenting with pelvic pain and MRI referral indications were recruited.

Synthetic cathinones (SCs) are drugs of abuse that act on the central nervous system, producing psychoactive effects similar to those of amphetamines. Their greater accessibility compared with the traditional amphetamine-type stimulants has contributed to their increasing popularity in recent years. The analysis of SCs in biological samples is essential for documenting their consumption.
