Abstract
Background Elevated circulating vaspin levels is linked with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. The genetic basis of the association between vaspin rs2236242 and T2DM and obesity is still being investigated. We executed a meta-analysis to evaluate the magnitude of effect caused by vaspin rs2236242 on T2DM and obesity. Methods We searched Pubmed, Embase, MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for relevant articles published up to 19 February 2022. Data were extracted and summary estimates of the association between vaspin rs2236242 and T2DM and obesity were assessed. Odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) were used to measure the effect. Results This meta-analysis included 2206 cases and 2715 controls in the T2DM cohort, meanwhile 271 cases and 444 controls in the obesity cohort. The pooled estimates revealed no link between vaspin rs2236242 and T2DM, but allele-A was significantly higher in the controls of the obesity cohort, showing that this single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has a reduced obesity risk effect. Sensitivity analysis revealed no studies that would modify the estimates or the heterogeneity. Begg and Mazumdar's and Egger's tests indicated no substantial publication bias. Conclusion Our meta-analysis provides evidence of significant association between vaspin rs2236242 and reduced risk of obesity but not T2DM.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The impact of urine calcium on kidney, bone, and cardiovascular systems in osteoporosis is not well-known. In this 7-year-follow-up study, high urine calcium did not affect kidney function but increased risk of kidney stones, while low urine calcium increased cardiovascular diseases. Maintaining normal urine calcium is beneficial for bone health. PURPOSE Hypercalciuria is common in patients with osteoporosis. However, the long-term effect of urinary calcium excretion (UCaE) on patients' health is not well-examined. The current study aims to assess the impact of UCaE on kidney, bone, and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with bone biopsy proven osteoporosis. METHODS Longitudinal study of all patients with osteoporosis who underwent bone biopsy and 24-h urine collection between 2008 and 2015 in the University of Kentucky. DXA scans, serum markers, kidney function, and cardiovascular events were recorded until last clinic visit in 2021. Exclusion criteria were secondary osteoporosis or conditions that might substantially impact UCaE. The significant results in univariate analysis were confirmed in multi-variable regression models involving clinically important covariates that might impact patients' outcomes. RESULTS Study included 230 patients with mean follow-up of 7.2 ± 2.9 years. The mean age was 61 years, and the mean eGFR at baseline was 85 ± 19 ml/min/1.73 m2. Low bone turnover (LBT) was present in 57% and high bone turnover (HBT) in 43% of patients. Hypercalciuria was found in one-third of patients with no difference between LTB and HTB. UCaE correlated positively with eGFR but did not affect the rate of eGFR decline over time. Higher UCaE predicted kidney stones development. We observed U-shaped effect of UCaE on bone health. Hypercalciuria predicted loss of BMD at all sites, but also hypocalciuria was associated with higher loss in total hip BMD. Upper limb fractures were the most observed fractures, and their incidence was higher in patients with hyper- or hypo-calciuria. Lower UCaE independently predicted development of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). CONCLUSION UCaE correlated with eGFR but it did not affect the change of eGFR over time. Patients with normal UCaE had lower incidence of upper limb fractures and less reduction in BMD. Low UCaE predicted MACE and CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are neoplasms with neuroectodermal (Schwann cell) differentiation that is typically benign and cured by surgical excision. These tumors characteristically display strong expression of S-100 protein. Similar tumors without expression of S-100 protein are called “S-100 negative granular cell tumors.” The few reported cases of S-100 negative GCT in the oral cavity describe indolent clinical behavior. We report a case of a 49-year-old male with recurrent S-100 negative GCT in the oral cavity.
Methods/Case Report
The patient presented initially with a mass in the hard palate, which was resected and diagnosed as an S-100 negative GCT. One year later, the patient developed severe epistaxis and anemia (hemoglobin 7.2 g/dL). A large tumor of the hard palate was the source of bleeding. It was resected and diagnosed as recurrent S-100 negative GCT. Histologically, this tumor consists of small nests of epithelioid to spindled cells with moderately abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm, round central nuclei with vesicular chromatin and distinct eosinophilic nucleoli, and significant mitotic activity. The cells are immunoreactive for SOX10 and negative for S-100, melan-A, keratin AE1/AE3, p40, synaptophysin, smooth muscle actin, desmin, and myogenin.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
N/A
Conclusion
S-100 negative GCTs are rare, and only a few case reports describe their involvement in the oral cavity. We report this case because of its rarity and aggressive clinical behavior. Recognition of this entity and its potential for locally aggressive growth is important. Management of this tumor by complete excision seems advisable.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Malignant gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET) is a rare soft tissue tumor arising in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract. The GNET was first described as an osteoclast rich tumor of the gastrointestinal tract with features resembling clear cell sarcoma, with only few cases reported in the literature.
Methods/Case Report
We report a case of a 71-year-old man with a past medical history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and benign prostatic hyperplasia presented with complaints of dyspnea, dizziness, fatigue, black stools, and a recent syncopal episode. Laboratory testing revealed anemia (HB 5.4 g/dL). Esophagogastroduodenoscopy demonstrated a submucosal gastric mass. An abdominal CT scan confirmed a 7.8 cm mass along the gastric cardia and fundus.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
Biopsy rendered a gastrointestinal neuroectodermal tumor (GNET). Microscopically, the tumor cells were spindle with eosinophilic cytoplasm and arranged in fascicules. They were positive for CD56, CD99, and Fli-1, synaptophysin, and negative for chromogranin, TTF-1, SMA, desmin, CD34, EMA, pan-cytokeratin, and lymphoid markers. Two months later, further imaging confirmed metastasis to the liver and spleen. GNETs typically arise within the muscularis propria of the gastrointestinal tract and often extend into the submucosa and subserosa.
Conclusion
The most important differential of GNET is the clear cell sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract (CCS-GI). Both share similar morphological as well as molecular features and show S100 positivity; however, the lack of melanocytic differentiation in GNET distinguishes it from CCS-GI. Both typically show rearrangements of the EWSR1 gene, with t(12;22) (q13;q12) EWSR1-ATF1 or t(2;22)(q34;q12) EWSR1-CREB1 fusions. Pathologists should be aware of GNET diagnostic entity due to its aggressive behavior and high rate of recurrence and mortality even after complete resection.

Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most reported cancers that can lead to death. Despite the advances in diagnosis and treatment procedures, the possibility of cancer recurrences is still high in many cases. With that in consideration, researchers from all over the world are showing interest in the unique features of Graphene oxide (GO), such as its excellent and versatile physicochemical properties, to explore further its potential and benefits towards breast cancer cell treatment. In this study, the cell viability and electrical response of GO, in terms of resistivity and impedance towards the breast cancer cells (MCF7) and normal breast cells (MCF10a), were investigated by varying the pH and concentration of GO. Firstly, the numbers of MCF7 and MCF10a were measured after being treated with GO for 24 and 48 h. Next, the electrical responses of these cells were evaluated by using interdigitated gold electrodes (IDEs) that are connected to an LCR meter. Based on the results obtained, as the pH of GO increased from pH 5 to pH 7, the number of viable MCF7 cells decreased while the number of viable MCF10a slightly increased after the incubation period of 48 h. Similarly, the MCF7 also experienced higher cytotoxicity effects when treated with GO concentrations of more than 25 µg/mL. The findings from the electrical characterization of the cells observed that the number of viable cells has corresponded to the impedance of the cells. The electrical impedance of MCF7 decreased as the number of highly insulating viable cell membranes decreased. But in contrast, the electrical impedance of MCF10a increased as the number of highly insulating viable cell membranes increased. Hence, it can be deduced that the GO with higher pH and concentration influence the MCF7 cancer cell line and MCF10a normal breast cell.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Preoperative OGD in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, has been a subject for debate for decades. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pathology pick up rate in routine preoperative endoscopy in patients undergoing Gastric Bypass surgery (LRYGB) in our unit.
Method
Retrospective review of patients’ records who underwent LRYBG in our unit from February 2009 to March 2020. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of symptoms prior to bariatric surgery: Group A (Asymptomatic) and Group B (Symptomatic). Data from prospectively kept electronic OGD reports, CLO test results, histology reports and the changes in management plan were collected and analysed.
Results
114 patients were included in the analysis, 85 (74.56%) were in group A and 29 in group B. OGD detected pathology in 34 patients in group A and 21 in group B (p = 0.004). Those included hiatus hernia (HH) (17.65% group A, 44.83% group B, p = 0.006); stomach ulcer (7.06% group A, 3.45% group B, p = 0.676), H.pylori infection (12.86% group A, 29.41% group B). This led to change of management in 22 patients in group A and 12 of group B (p = 0.157) excluding PPI prescription. Those changes included H.pylori eradication (10.59% group A, 17.24% group B, p = 0.153), HH repair (3.53% group A, 24.14% group B, p = 0.002). There was no cancellation or change in bariatric surgery offered in both groups.
Conclusions
Preoperative OGD has only significantly impacted the bariatric patient’s pathway in symptomatic patients. However, in Asymptomatic patients, OGD could be replaced by cheaper and non-invasive alternatives.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Choledocholithiasis (CDL) is a common clinical entity and can lead to serious complications, such as pancreatitis or ascending cholangitis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is generally the first-line procedure for definitive management of CDL. ERCP has well-established adverse events. Given the risks, patients can be stratified by likelihood of finding CDL on ERCP, thus potentially avoiding an unnecessary procedure in low probability patients. There are three commonly used criteria for this – the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) 2010 criteria, the ASGE 2019 criteria, and the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) 2019 criteria. These criteria use a mixture of biliary imaging, clinical condition, and liver biochemistry to stratify patients into low, intermediate, and high probability for CDL.
Aims
To test the performance characteristics of the ASGE 2010, ASGE 2019, and ESGE 2019 criteria for probability of CDL on a real-world sample.
Methods
We identified all adult patients who had ERCP done at our local centre for suspected CDL between 2012/01/01 and 2018/10/07. A sample of 1000 cases were chosen. We obtained the patients’ pre-procedural liver biochemistries, pre-procedural imaging in the preceding 6 months, and their ERCP reports. We used a semi-automated algorithm to determine confirmation of CDL. We inferred clinical gallstone pancreatitis using the surrogate of serum lipase at or greater than three times upper limit of normal. We could not capture clinical ascending cholangitis from the collected data. We stratified each patient according to the three guidelines and calculated their performance characteristics.
Results
After manually reviewing visits with incomplete ERCP or repeat ERCP, we analyzed 879 ERCP visits. There were 622 with stone or sludge found on ERCP. The performance characteristics of the high-probability and intermediate-probability criteria of the three guidelines are listed in the table below.
Conclusions
Our results for the 2010 ASGE guidelines high probability patients are in keeping with previous validation studies. There have been only one validation study each of the 2019 ASGE guidelines and the 2019 ESGE guidelines, and our results are different in sensitivity and negative predictive value. Future directions in refining these risk stratification tools are needed, and our project in ongoing in assessing the additional value of trends in liver biochemistry.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies have demonstrated that many graduating trainees may not have all of the skills needed to independently practice endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) safely and effectively. As a part of competency-based learning curriculum development, it is essential to provide formative feedback to trainees and ensure they acquire the knowledge and skills for independent practice.
Aims
To assess the performance of advanced endoscopy trainees across Canada using the Canadian Direct Observation of Procedural Skills (CanDOPS) ERCP assessment tool. Procedural items evaluated include both technical (cannulation, sphincterotomy, stone extraction, tissue sampling, and stent placement) and non-technical (leadership, communication and teamwork, judgment and decision making) skills.
Methods
We conducted a prospective national multi-centre prospective study. Advanced endoscopy trainees with at least two years of gastroenterology training or five years of general surgery in North America and minimal experience performing ERCPs (less than 100 ERCP procedures) were invited to participate. The CanDOPS tool was used to measure every fifth ERCP performed by trainees over a 12-month fellowship training period. ERCPs were evaluated by experienced staff endoscopists at each study site under standard clinical protocol. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analyses were used to generate learning curves.
Results
The data from five Canadian sites and 11 trainees participated in the study. A total of 261ERCP evaluations were completed. Median number of evaluations by site and trainee was 49 (IQR 31–76) and 15 (IQR 11–45). Median number of cases trainees performed prior to their ERCP training was 50 (IQR 25–400). There was a significant improvement in almost all scores over time, including selective cannulation, sphincterotomy, biliary stenting and all non-technical skills (P<0.01). CUSUM analyses using acceptable and unacceptable failure rates of 20% and 50% demonstrated trainees achieved competency for most measures in their final month of their training. Competency in tissue sampling was not achieved within a one-year training period.
Conclusions
This is the first ERCP performance evaluation tool that examines multiple technical and non-technical aspects of the procedure. Although trainee ERCP skills do improve during their training period, there exists a notable variability in time to competency for the different skills measured using the CanDOPS tool. Large prospective research is required to determine if competency is achieved using more stringent definitions of ERCP competency and to determine factors associated with reaching competency.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a promising alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO). Recent small randomized controlled trials comparing EUS-BD with ERCP suggest that EUS-BD achieves a similar technical success rate and safety profile while potentially being associated with lower rates of stent dysfunction However, its application in clinical practice has been impeded by various undefined barriers.
Aims
To evaluate the current practice of EUS-BD and the determinants for its clinical implementation in MDBO.
Methods
An online survey was generated using Google Forms. Five endoscopy societies have distributed the survey as of October 10th, 2019. Survey questions measured participant characteristics, EUS-BD in different clinical scenarios, and potential barriers to implementation. Descriptive statistics were calculated using frequencies, chi-square statistics were used for inferential analysis, and a standard step-wise multivariable analysis was performed to identify independent variables for and against the use of EUS-BD.
Results
To date, 102 physicians have participated in the survey (response rate 7.97%). The majority of participants are from North America (39.2%), Asia (31.4%), and Europe (19.6%). Most participants are gastroenterologists with formal therapeutic endoscopy training (66.7%), though only 28.4% have received EUS-BD training. In unresectable cancer, 85.1% of respondents favoured EUS-BD over percutaneous biliary drainage following ERCP failure (p<0.0001), while in borderline resectable disease, 72.3% preferred EUS-BD. On multivariable analysis, male gender, formal training in EUS-BD, and unresectable cancer were independent variables for the use of EUS-BD. Conversely, independent discouraging factors for EUS-BD included fear of adverse events, limited high-quality data, lack of local expertise, and inadequate access to EUS technology.
Conclusions
In this international survey, it appears that EUS-BD is gaining traction, especially in the setting of unresectable disease following ERCP failure. However, barriers to implementation include the lack of high-quality data, fear for adverse events, limited experts in the field, and inadequate access to EUS technology. This suggest the need for high-quality clinical trials, increased endoscopist training in this field, and further technology development in EUS-BD in order to increase its uptake in clinical practice.

Abstract
Today’s high-resolution mass spectrometers (HRMS) allow bioanalysts to perform untargeted/global determinations that can reveal unexpected compounds or concentrations in a patient’s sample. This could be performed for preliminary diagnosis attempts when usual diagnostic processes and targeted determinations fail. We have evaluated an untargeted diagnostic screening (UDS) procedure. UDS is a metabolome analysis that compares one sample (e.g., a patient) with control samples (a healthy population). Using liquid chromatography (LC)-HRMS full-scan analysis of human serum extracts and unsupervised data treatment, we have compared individual samples that were spiked with one xenobiotic or a higher level of one endogenous compound with control samples. After the use of different filters that drastically reduced the number of metabolites detected, the spiked compound was eventually revealed in each test sample and ranked. The proposed UDS procedure appears feasible and reliable to reveal unexpected xenobiotics (toxicology) or higher concentrations of endogenous metabolites. HRMS-based untargeted approaches could be useful as preliminary diagnostic screening when canonical processes do not reveal disease etiology nor establish a clear diagnosis and could reduce misdiagnosis. On the other hand, the risk of overdiagnosis of this approach should be reduced with mandatory biomedical interpretation of the patient’s UDS results and with confirmatory targeted and quantitative determinations.

Abstract
Due to the introduction of newer, more efficacious treatment options, there is a pressing need for policy makers and public health officials to develop or adapt national hepatitis C virus (HCV) control strategies to the changing epidemiological landscape. To do so, detailed, country-specific data are needed to characterize the burden of chronic HCV infection. In this study of 17 countries, a literature review of published and unpublished data on HCV prevalence, viraemia, genotype, age and gender distribution, liver transplants and diagnosis and treatment rates was conducted, and inputs were validated by expert consensus in each country. Viraemic prevalence in this study ranged from 0.2% in Hong Kong to 2.4% in Taiwan, while the largest viraemic populations were in Nigeria (2 597 000 cases) and Taiwan (569 000 cases). Diagnosis, treatment and liver transplant rates varied widely across the countries included in this analysis, as did the availability of reliable data. Addressing data gaps will be critical for the development of future strategies to manage and minimize the disease burden of hepatitis C.

Abstract
Factors influencing the morbidity and mortality associated with viremic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection change over time and place, making it difficult to compare reported estimates. Models were developed for 17 countries (Bahrain, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Colombia, Croatia, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Ghana, Hong Kong, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Qatar and Taiwan) to quantify and characterize the viremic population as well as forecast the changes in the infected population and the corresponding disease burden from 2015 to 2030. Model inputs were agreed upon through expert consensus, and a standardized methodology was followed to allow for comparison across countries. The viremic prevalence is expected to remain constant or decline in all but four countries (Ethiopia, Ghana, Jordan and Oman); however, HCV-related morbidity and mortality will increase in all countries except Qatar and Taiwan. In Qatar, the high-treatment rate will contribute to a reduction in total cases and HCV-related morbidity by 2030. In the remaining countries, however, the current treatment paradigm will be insufficient to achieve large reductions in HCV-related morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) epidemic was forecasted through 2030 for 17 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, and interventions for achieving the Global Health Sector Strategy on viral hepatitis targets-"WHO Targets" (65% reduction in HCV-related deaths, 90% reduction in new infections and 90% of infections diagnosed by 2030) were considered. Scaling up treatment and diagnosis rates over time would be required to achieve these targets in all but one country, even with the introduction of high SVR therapies. The scenarios developed to achieve the WHO Targets in all countries studied assumed the implementation of national policies to prevent new infections and to diagnose current infections through screening.

Abstract
Worldwide, some 240 million people have chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV), with the highest rates of infection in Africa and Asia. Our understanding of the natural history of HBV infection and the potential for therapy of the resultant disease is continuously improving. New data have become available since the previous APASL guidelines for management of HBV infection were published in 2012. The objective of this manuscript is to update the recommendations for the optimal management of chronic HBV infection. The 2015 guidelines were developed by a panel of Asian experts chosen by the APASL. The clinical practice guidelines are based on evidence from existing publications or, if evidence was unavailable, on the experts' personal experience and opinion after deliberations. Manuscripts and abstracts of important meetings published through January 2015 have been evaluated. This guideline covers the full spectrum of care of patients infected with hepatitis B, including new terminology, natural history, screening, vaccination, counseling, diagnosis, assessment of the stage of liver disease, the indications, timing, choice and duration of single or combination of antiviral drugs, screening for HCC, management in special situations like childhood, pregnancy, coinfections, renal impairment and pre- and post-liver transplant, and policy guidelines. However, areas of uncertainty still exist, and clinicians, patients, and public health authorities must therefore continue to make choices on the basis of the evolving evidence. The final clinical practice guidelines and recommendations are presented here, along with the relevant background information.

Abstract
Increased susceptibility of diabetics to melioidosis, a disease caused by the Burkholderia pseudomallei bacterium is believed to be attributed to dysfunction of the innate immune system. However, the underlying mechanism of the innate susceptibility is not well-understood. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) plays an important role in the innate inflammatory response caused by bacterial pathogens. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of GSK3β inhibition by LiCl on levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; and the activity of transcription factor NF-κB in B. pseudomallei-infected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) derived from diabetic-induced and normal Sprague Dawley rats. In addition, the effects of LiCl on intracellular bacterial counts were also investigated. Infection of PBMC from diabetic and normal rats with B. pseudomallei resulted in elevated levels of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-12 and IL-10) and phosphorylation of NF-κB in both cell types. Intracellular bacterial counts decreased with time in both cell types during infection. However bacterial clearance was less prominent in diabetic PBMC. Burkholderia pseudomallei infection also caused inactivation (Ser9 phosphorylation) of GSK3β in normal PBMC, an effect absent in infected diabetic PBMC. Inhibition of GSK3β by LiCl lowered the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-12) in both normal and diabetic PBMC. Similarly, phosphorylated NF- κB (pNF-κB) levels in both cell types were decreased with LiCl treatment. Also, LiCl was able to significantly decrease the intracellular bacterial count in normal as well as diabetic PBMC. Interestingly, the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in both normal and diabetic PBMC were further elevated with GSK3β inhibition. More importantly, GSK3β in infected diabetic PBMC was inactivated as in their non-diabetic counterparts upon LiCl treatment. Taken together, our results suggest that inhibition of dysregulated GSK3β in diabetic PBMC resulted in the inactivation of NF-κB and modulation of inflammatory cytokine levels. This is evidence that dysregulation of GSK3β is a contributing factor in the molecular basis of innate dysfunction and susceptibility of diabetic host to melioidosis infection.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We aimed to evaluate long-term treatment outcomes and toxicity profile of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in Saudi women with uterine cancers. METHODS AND MATERIALS Medical records of patients with histopathologically proven uterine cancers were reviewed and identified those who received PORT (45-50.4 Gy in 25-28 fractions) followed by vaginal brachytherapy (15-20 Gy in 3 to 4 sessions) after total abdominal hystrectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAHBSO) in our center between August 2007 and April 2012. Data regarding the safety profile, locoregional control (LRC) or distant metastases control (DMC) and overall survival (OS) rates were analyzed. RESULTS Median follow-up period was 60 months (range, 12-70) for 89 patients. Predominant histological type was endometrial (59 patients), followed by carcinosarcoma (17 patients) and leiomyosarcoma (13 patients). Median age at time of diagnosis was 57.6, 56 and 51.1 years for endometrial, carcinosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma respectively. LRC rates were 80.9%, 87.1% and 100% for leiomyosarcoma, carcinosarcoma and endometrial carcinoma respectively (p 0.4). DMC rates were 69.3%, 45% and 16.3% for endometrial, leiomyosarcoma and carcinosarcoma respectively (p 0.0001). Five-year OS rates were 71.1%, 60% and 16.3% for endometrial, leiomyosarcoma and carcinosarcoma respectively (p 0.001). Coxproportional hazard ratio model showed body mass index, FIGO stage, lymphovascular invasion in endometrial carcinoma, tumor size in leiomyosarcoma and histology in carcinosarcoma important prognostic factors for LRC. Acute grade 3 and 4 proctitis/enteritis seen only in 4 patients (4.5%) and late toxicities were minimal. CONCLUSION PORT in Saudi women with uterine cancers showed better LRC, DMC and OS rates with minimal toxicity.

Abstract
A novel low temperature crystallization process called eutectic freeze crystallization (EFC) can produce both salt(s) and ice from a reverse osmosis (RO) stream by operating at the eutectic temperature of a solution. The EFC reject stream, which is de-supersaturated with respect to the scaling component, can subsequently be recycled back to the RO process for increased water recovery. This paper looks at the feasibility of using EFC to remove calcium sulfate from an RO retentate stream and compares the results to recovery rates at 0 and 20 °C. The results showed that there was a greater yield of calcium sulfate obtained at 0 °C as compared with 20 °C. Operation under eutectic conditions, with only a 20% ice recovery, resulted in an even greater yield of calcium sulfate (48%) when compared with yields obtained at operating temperatures of 0 and 20 °C (15% at 0 °C and 13% at 20 °C). The theoretical calcium recoveries were found to be 75 and 70% at 0 and 20 °C respectively which was higher than the experimentally determined values. The EFC process has the added advantage of producing water along with a salt.

Abstract
During recent years, a rising interest from consumers and various governmental organizations towards the quality of food has continuously been observed. Human intervention across the different stages of the food supply chain can lead to the presence of several types of chemical contaminants in food-based products. On a normal daily consumption basis, some of these chemicals are not harmful; however, for those that present a risk to consumers, legislation rules were established to specify tolerance levels or in some cases the total forbiddance of these specific contaminants. Hence, the use of appropriate analytical tools is recommended to properly identify chemical contaminants. In that context, mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques coupled or not to chromatography offer a vast panel of features such as sensitivity, selectivity, quantification at trace levels, and/or structural elucidation. Because of the complexity of food-based matrices, sample preparation is a crucial step before final detection. In the present manuscript, we review the contribution and the potentialities of MS-based techniques to ensure the absence of chemical contaminants in food-based products.

Abstract
An all-optical generation of a microwave carrier at 21 GHz that incorporates a double-Brillouin frequency shifter is presented. The frequency shift of approximately 21 GHz is achieved by generating the second-order Brillouin Stokes signal from the Brillouin pump. This is accomplished through the circulation and isolation of its first-order Stokes signal in the optical fiber. The Brillouin pump signal is heterodyned with its second-order Brillouin Stokes signal at a high-speed photodetector, and the output beating frequency is equal to the offset between these two signals. The generated microwave carrier is measured at 21.3968 GHz, and the carrier phase noise as low as -58.67 dBc/Hz is achieved.

Abstract
A comprehensive analytical LC-MS(/MS) platform for low weight biomarkers molecule in biological fluids is described. Two complementary retention mechanisms were used in HPLC by optimizing the chromatographic conditions for a reversed-phase column and a hydrophilic interaction chromatography column. LC separation was coupled to mass spectrometry by using an electrospray ionization operating in positive polarity mode. This strategy enables us to correctly retain and separate hydrophobic as well as polar analytes. For that purpose artificial model study samples were generated with a mixture of 38 well characterized compounds likely to be present in biofluids. The set of compounds was used as a standard aqueous mixture or was spiked into urine at different concentration levels to investigate the capability of the LC-MS(/MS) platform to detect variations across biological samples. Unsupervised data analysis by principal component analysis was performed and followed by principal component variable grouping to find correlated variables. This tool allows us to distinguish three main groups whose variables belong to (a) background ions (found in all type of samples), (b) ions distinguishing urine samples from aqueous standard and blank samples, (c) ions related to the spiked compounds. Interpretation of these groups allows us to identify and eliminate isotopes, adducts, fragments, etc. and to generate a reduced list of m/z candidates. This list is then submitted to the prototype MZSearcher software tool which simultaneously searches several lists of potential metabolites extracted from metabolomics databases (e.g., KEGG, HMDB, etc) to propose biomarker candidates. Structural confirmation of these candidates was done off-line by fraction collection followed by nanoelectrospray infusion to provide high quality MS/MS data for spectral database queries.

Abstract
A nitroimidazole, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was tested to extract four 5-nitroimidazoles (i.e., dimetridazole (DMZ), ipronidazole (IPZ), metronidazole (MNZ), and ronidazole (RNZ)) and three of their metabolites (i.e., DMZOH, IPZOH, and MNZOH) from egg powder samples. Various MIP templates were produced, and their selectivity was assessed on nitroimidazole standard solutions using liquid chromatography coupled with ultraviolet detection. The optimal cleanup was then used for the extraction of nitroimidazole in egg powder samples, and their quantification was achieved by isotope dilution LC-ESIMS/MS. The sample preparation entails a solubilization of the samples with water and acetonitrile followed by a MISPE cleanup step before LC-ESIMS/MS analysis. Data acquisition was achieved using selected reaction monitoring, and quantification was done with five deuterated analogues (i.e., DMZ- d(3), RNZ- d(3), IPZ- d(3), DMZOH- d(3), and IPZOH- d(3)). DMZOH- d(3) was used to quantify MNZ and MNZOH since they do not have their corresponding internal standards. The method was validated according to the European Union criteria by spiking experiments at concentration levels of 1, 2, and 3 microg/kg. At these three levels and for compounds having their own internal standards, acceptable performance data were obtained, with internal standard corrected recoveries ranging from 91 to 111%, and decision limits (CCalpha) and detection capabilities (CCbeta) were below 0.34 and 0.39 microg/kg, respectively.

Abstract
We report the first successful use of hepatocyte transplantation as a bridge to subsequent auxiliary partial orthotopic liver transplantation (APOLT) in a child antenatally diagnosed with severe ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency. A total of 1.74 x 10(9) fresh and cryopreserved hepatocytes were administered intraportally into the liver over a period of 6 months. Immunosuppression was with tacrolimus and prednisolone. A sustained decrease in ammonia levels and a gradual increase in serum urea were observed except during episodes of sepsis in the first 6 months of life. The patient was able to tolerate a normal protein intake and presented a normal growth and neurological development. APOLT was successfully performed at 7 months of age. We conclude that hepatocyte transplantation can be used in conjunction with APOLT as an effective treatment for severe OTC-deficient patients, improving neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Abstract
The antioxidant potential of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) extracts was studied. Different plant organs, including seeds, stems, leaves, and sepals, were analyzed with respect to their water-soluble antioxidant capacity, lipid-soluble antioxidant capacity, and tocopherol content, revealing that roselle seeds are a good source of lipid-soluble antioxidants, particularly gamma-tocopherol. Roselle seed oil was extracted and characterized, and its physicochemical parameters are summarized: acidity, 2.24%; peroxide index, 8.63 meq/kg; extinction coefficients at 232 (k(232)) and 270 nm (k(270)), 3.19 and 1.46, respectively; oxidative stability, 15.53 h; refractive index, 1.477; density, 0.92 kg/L; and viscosity, 15.9 cP. Roselle seed oil belongs to the linoleic/oleic category, its most abundant fatty acids being C18:2 (40.1%), C18:1 (28%), C16:0 (20%), C18:0 (5.3%), and C19:1 (1.7%). Sterols include beta-sitosterol (71.9%), campesterol (13.6%), Delta-5-avenasterol (5.9%), cholesterol (1.35%), and clerosterol (0.6%). Total tocopherols were detected at an average concentration of 2000 mg/kg, including alpha-tocopherol (25%), gamma-tocopherol (74.5%), and delta-tocopherol (0.5%). The global characteristics of roselle seed oil suggest that it could have important industrial applications, adding to the traditional use of roselle sepals in the elaboration of karkade tea.

Abstract
A comparison was made between electrospray, atmospheric pressure chemical and atmospheric pressure photospray ionizations to evaluate the MS/MS responses of standard sulfonamides and honey spiked samples. The sample preparation entails an acidic hydrolysis followed by a liquid/liquid extraction. Full method validation was realised by LC-APPI-MS/MS. Decision limit and detection capability were calculated for each analyte (at 50 microg/kg) and ranged between 53.6 and 56.9 and 57.5 and 63.2 microg/kg, respectively. Limits of detection and of quantification ranged, respectively, at 0.4-4.5 and 1.2-15.0 microg/kg. Precursor ion scan experiments of m/z 92 were also carried out as a survey experiment, linked with an enhanced product ion scan experiment to potentially identified additional sulfonamides via a library search.
