The perturbations of the gut microbiota and metabolites are closely associated with the progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, inconsistent findings across studies impede a comprehensive understanding of their roles in IBD and their potential as reliable diagnostic biomarkers. ...
INTRODUCTION: The extraction solvent mixtures were optimized for untargeted metabolomics analysis of microbial communities from two laboratory scale activated sludge reactors performing enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR).
OBJECTIVE: To develop a ...
Despite the growing popularity of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomics, no study has yet to systematically compare the performance of different data acquisition modes in the discovery of significantly altered metabolic features, which is an important task of untarget...
OBJECTIVE: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is associated with an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes to the mother and fetus. As yet, the metabolic profiles and the association of the clinical features remain obscure.
METHODS: Fifty sev...
BACKGROUND: Diarrhea is common in infants, particularly, children less than 2 years old. Intractable or protracted infancy diarrhea is typically associated with feeding intolerance and malabsorption that is lethal for newborns. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ba...
Objective: Most research reports on COVID-19 infections have focused on the correlation between the severity of the disease symptoms and immune deficits, while the mechanisms affecting the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 remain largely unknown. The study aimed to comprehensively analyze the differen...
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are crucial for drug metabolism, yet inter-individual variability in their activity remains a significant clinical challenge. Current phenotyping methods are often impractical or even impossible, particularly in forensic toxicology and vulnerable populations. This pr...
