The antioxidant capacity has been studied at a number of temperatures (25 °C, 37 °C), and the reaction half-life has been determined. The correlation of antioxidant capacity by a potentiometric assay with the Folin assay was R = 0.71; by a potentiometric assay with the DPPH assay was R = 0.67. Leader compounds have been identified. Graphical abstract.Ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPSFC/MS) has a great potential for the high-throughput lipidomic quantitation of biological samples; therefore, the full optimization and method validation of UHPSFC/MS is compared here with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS) in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) mode as the second powerful technique for the lipid class separation. First, the performance of six common extraction protocols is investigated, where the Folch procedure yields the best results with regard to recovery rate, matrix effect, and precision. Then, the full optimization and analytical validation for eight lipid classes using UHPSFC/MS and HILIC-UHPLC/MS methods are performed for the same sample set and applied for the lipidomic characterization of pooled samples of human plasma, human serum, and NIST SRM 1950 human plasma. The choice of appropriate internal standards (IS) for individual lipid classes has a key importance for reliable quantitative workflows illustrated by the selectivity while validation and the calculation of the quantitation error using multiple internal standards per lipid class. Validation results confirm the applicability of both methods, but UHPSFC/MS provides some distinct advantages, such as the successful separation of both non-polar and polar lipid classes unlike to HILIC-UHPLC/MS, shorter total run times (8 vs. 10.5 min), and slightly higher robustness. Various types of correlations between methods (UHPSFC/MS and HILIC-UHPLC/MS), biological material (plasma and serum), IS (laboratory and commercially mixtures), and literature data on the standard reference material show the intra- and inter-laboratory comparison in the quantitation of lipid species from eight lipid classes, the concentration differences in serum and plasma as well as the applicability of non-commercially available internal standard mixtures for lipid quantitation.BACKGROUND Nutritional support is considered essential for the outcome of paediatric critical illness. RGFP966 supplier There is a lack of methodologically sound trials to provide evidence-based guidelines leading to diverse practices in PICUs worldwide. Acknowledging these limitations, we aimed to summarize the available literature and provide practical guidance for the paediatric critical care clinicians around important clinical questions many of which are not covered by previous guidelines. OBJECTIVE To provide an ESPNIC position statement and make clinical recommendations for the assessment and nutritional support in critically ill infants and children. DESIGN The metabolism, endocrine and nutrition (MEN) section of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) generated 15 clinical questions regarding different aspects of nutrition in critically ill children. After a systematic literature search, the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) grading system was applied to assess the quality of the evidence, conducting meta-analyses where possible, to generate statements and clinical recommendations, which were then voted on electronically. Strong consensus (> 95% agreement) and consensus (> 75% agreement) on these statements and recommendations was measured through modified Delphi voting rounds. RESULTS The final 15 clinical questions generated a total of 7261 abstracts, of which 142 publications were identified relevant to develop 32 recommendations. A strong consensus was reached in 21 (66%) and consensus was reached in 11 (34%) of the recommendations. Only 11 meta-analyses could be performed on 5 questions. CONCLUSIONS We present a position statement and clinical practice recommendations. The general level of evidence of the available literature was low. We have summarised this and provided a practical guidance for the paediatric critical care clinicians around important clinical questions.BACKGROUND Patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) with prior lumbar spine fusion (LSF) are a high-risk group for instability with reported incidence of dislocation as high as 8.3% using fixed bearing femoral heads. Purpose of this study was to determine risk of post-operative instability in patients undergoing primary THA with a history of prior LSF using dual mobility acetabular cups. METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective study with 93 patients undergoing primary THA using a dual mobility cup with a prior history of instrumented LSF. There were 56 females and 47 males with an average age of 66 years (46-87) and average BMI of 30 with mean follow-up of 2.7 years (range 12-124 months). Surgical approach included posterior (63), direct lateral (15), anterior (11), and direct superior (4). Forty-four percent had one level lumbar fusion, 29% with two levels, and 15% with three or more levels fused. The primary outcome investigated was instability. RESULTS There were no cases of instability or prosthetic joint infection in this group of patients with prior lumbar spine fusion undergoing primary THA using a dual mobility cup. There was one intra-operative periprosthetic femur fracture and one case of aseptic acetabular cup loosening. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing THA with prior LSF are at increased risk for instability due to loss of normal spinopelvic relationship. The use of dual mobility cups in patients with prior LSF undergoing primary THA appears promising with no cases of instability in this high-risk group of patients.Proteasomes are highly abundant protein complexes that are responsible for most regulated protein degradation in cells under favorable growth conditions. When yeast cells are under nutritional stress, most proteasomes exit the nucleus and either accumulate in cytoplasmic condensates called proteasome storage granules (PSGs) or are directed to the vacuole by autophagy. Nitrogen starvation does not cause PSG formation but leads to degradation of proteasomes through the classical macroautophagy pathway. By contrast, carbon starvation or extended incubation in stationary phase results in both PSG formation and macroautophagy of proteasomes. Unexpectedly, we found that glucose limitation also causes proteasomes to be taken up directly into vacuoles by a microautophagy mechanism. Macro- and micro-autophagy occur in parallel in glucose-starved cells, and microautophagy appears biased toward aberrant or inactive proteasomes, leaving functional proteasomes to accumulate in PSGs. PSGs dissolve and proteasomes remobilize to the nucleus within minutes after glucose refeeding.
