Article Abstract
Background: Sphingolipidoses are rare inherited metabolic diseases belonging to lysosomal diseases. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust method to accelerate the diagnosis of these sphingolipidoses using dried blood spots and plasma.
Method: We employed high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-HRMS) to analyze 6 lysosphingolipids (GlcSph/Psychosine, LysoGb3, LysoSM, LysoSM509, LysoGM1, and LysoGM2) on dried blood spots and plasma samples. The method was used to measure the lysosphingolipid levels in a group of 30 control subjects and 204 samples from patients with sphingolipidoses (61 dB and 143 plasma) including Fabry, Gaucher, GM2 Gangliodosis, Niemann-Pick type A/B, and Niemann-Pick type C.
Results: The developed multiplex LC-HRMS method demonstrated linearity, precision, and quantification performances particularly for GlcSph/Psychosine and LysoGb3 on samples including controls and patients with sphingolipidoses. LysoSM showed recovery variability, wherease LysoGM1 and LysoGM2 showed higher matrix effect.
Conclusion: Our study presents a high-resolution mass spectrometry method along with the established cutoff values, providing a valuable tool for targeted screening, accurate diagnosis, and monitoring sphingolipidoses. Furthermore, DBS showed reliable results that lay the path to a broader adoption for screening these diseases.

Neonicotinoid insecticides residuals pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Imidaclothiz, as a novel neonicotinoid pesticide, the metabolic mechanisms in aquatic environments was unclear. This study investigated the degradation characteristics of imidaclothiz in both pure and actual water, and analyzed the photodegradation and hydrolysis metabolites of imidaclothiz in aquatic environments and assessed their toxicity.

Plastics are widely used materials composed of polymers and various additives to achieve specific properties. Their composition is often highly complex, particularly in post-consumer plastic waste. As mechanical recycling faces increasing limitations, chemistry-driven strategies are attracting growing interest to improve plastic recovery.

Nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds (NHCs), widely present in industrial wastewater, pose significant environmental and health risks, yet their identification and characterization remain poorly understood. Herein, we developed a diagnostic fragment list comprising 20 nitrogen-containing fragments for NHCs, by integrating chemical information from Pubchem with the NIST mass spectral library. Leveraging this list, we employed a diagnostic fragment-assisted nontarget screening approach and identified 151 NHCs in iron and steel industry wastewater.

Structural proteomics has undergone a profound transformation, driven by the convergence of advanced experimental methodologies and computational innovations. Cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, including cross-linking MS (XL-MS), hydrogen-deuterium exchange MS (HDX-MS), and limited proteolysis MS (LiP-MS), now enable unprecedented insights into protein topology, conformational dynamics, and protein-protein interactions. These methods, complemented by affinity purification (AP), co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), proximity labeling (PL), and spatial proteomics techniques, have expanded our ability to characterize the structural proteome at a systems-wide scale.
