Article Abstract

An analytical assay based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) technique for absolute quantification of vancomycin in complexed biological matrix was developed in this study. Reversed phase column with gradient elution was chosen for chromatographic separation of vancomycin and internal standard (IS) norancomycin. Sample pretreatment was performed by micro-solid phase extraction (μ-SPE) with Oasis® MAX μElution Plate (I.D., 30 μm). Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transition was chosen for monitoring of the analytes. For vancomycin, mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of the MRM transition was 725.3→144.1; For norvancomycin, m/z of the MRM transition was 718.3→144.2. The running time was 3 minutes for each sample. The UHPLC-MS/MS method showed a good linear relationship (R≥0.995) in the concentration range of 0.5-100 μg/mL. The intra- and inter-day accuracies (relative error, RE) are within the range of -3.44 %-1.50 % and precisions are between 3.48 % and 10.19 %. μ-SPE could enrich the analytes and decrease the endogenous interferences, thereby improving the selectivity and sensitivity of the method. The analytical assay is selective, accurate and reproducible. The assay was successfully applied to therapeutic drug monitoring of vancomycin in clinical application.

The barriers for uptake of artificial intelligence in hepatology and how to overcome them.

Artificial intelligence (AI) methods in hepatology have proliferated since the mid-2010s, with numerous publications and some regulatory approvals. Yet, adoption of AI methods in real-world clinical practice and clinical research remains limited. Despite clear benefits of using AI to analyze complex data types in hepatology, such as histopathology, radiology images, multi-omics and more recently, natural language patient data, there are still substantial barriers and challenges to its integration into routine clinical workflows.

The occurrence of isomeric dihydroflavone and chalcone, two important subfamilies of flavonoid class, extensively happens in herbal medicines. However, identical MS/MS spectra make the identity confirmation a tough job, the complexity will be further boosted in biological samples. Inspired by that isomers possess distinct inherent physicochemical parameters, optimal collision energy (OCE), which is positively correlated with the bond dissociation energies (BDEs), was evaluated towards differentiating isomeric dihydroflavone and chalcone.

Introduction: Targeted quantitative proteomics is vital for accurate protein measurement in biological samples. Techniques like Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM or SRM) and Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM), often used with isotopically-labeled internal standards, provide absolute quantification and represent the current gold standard. However, developing and validating assays for individual proteins remains labor-intensive.

Purpose: True real-time cardiac MRI (CMR), necessary for capturing live cardiac dynamics and imaging irregular cardiac rhythms, remains challenging. In this article, we move toward real-time CMR in multiple reconstruction frameworks via strategies to predict cardiac motion, improve computational efficiency, reduce artifacts, and preserve spatial resolution.

Theory And Methods: A published predictive signal model (PMOT) for imaging irregular cardiac dynamics was modified (mPMOT) to enable efficient computation of state-transition matrices for predicting cardiac motion, as training PMOT is computationally expensive.
