Introduction
Natural products from culture collections have enormous impact in advancing discovery programs for metabolites of biotechnological importance. These discovery efforts rely on the metabolomic characterization of strain collections.Objective
Many emerging approaches compare metabolomic profiles of such collections, but few enable the analysis and prioritization of thousands of samples from diverse organisms while delivering chemistry specific read outs.Method
In this work we utilize untargeted LC–MS/MS based metabolomics together with molecular networking to inventory the chemistries associated with 1000 marine microorganisms.Result
This approach annotated 76 molecular families (a spectral match rate of 28 %), including clinically and biotechnologically important molecules such as valinomycin, actinomycin D, and desferrioxamine E. Targeting a molecular family produced primarily by one microorganism led to the isolation and structure elucidation of two new molecules designated maridric acids A and B.Conclusion
Molecular networking guided exploration of large culture collections allows for rapid dereplication of know molecules and can highlight producers of uniques metabolites. These methods, together with large culture collections and growing databases, allow for data driven strain prioritization with a focus on novel chemistries.2.

Introduction
Metabolomics is a well-established tool in systems biology, especially in the top–down approach. Metabolomics experiments often results in discovery studies that provide intriguing biological hypotheses but rarely offer mechanistic explanation of such findings. In this light, the interpretation of metabolomics data can be boosted by deploying systems biology approaches.Objectives
This review aims to provide an overview of systems biology approaches that are relevant to metabolomics and to discuss some successful applications of these methods.Methods
We review the most recent applications of systems biology tools in the field of metabolomics, such as network inference and analysis, metabolic modelling and pathways analysis.Results
We offer an ample overview of systems biology tools that can be applied to address metabolomics problems. The characteristics and application results of these tools are discussed also in a comparative manner.Conclusions
Systems biology-enhanced analysis of metabolomics data can provide insights into the molecular mechanisms originating the observed metabolic profiles and enhance the scientific impact of metabolomics studies.3.

Introduction
Collecting feces is easy. It offers direct outcome to endogenous and microbial metabolites.Objectives
In a context of lack of consensus about fecal sample preparation, especially in animal species, we developed a robust protocol allowing untargeted LC-HRMS fingerprinting.Methods
The conditions of extraction (quantity, preparation, solvents, dilutions) were investigated in bovine feces.Results
A rapid and simple protocol involving feces extraction with methanol (1/3, M/V) followed by centrifugation and a step filtration (10 kDa) was developed.Conclusion
The workflow generated repeatable and informative fingerprints for robust metabolome characterization.4.

Introduction
Since health insurance is compulsory in the Netherlands, the centrally registered medical claims data might pose a unique opportunity to evaluate quality of (cardiac) care on a national level without additional collection of data. However, validation of these claims data has not yet been assessed.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Methods
National claims data (‘national registry’) were compared with data collected by patient records reviews in four representative hospitals (‘validation registry’). In both registries, we extracted the national diagnosis codes for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction of 2012 and 2013. Additionally, data on medication use at one year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was extracted from the Dutch pharmacy information systems and also validated by local patient records reviews. The data were compared at three stages: 1) validation of diagnosis and treatment coding; 2) validation of the hospital where follow-up has taken place; 3) validation of follow-up medical treatment after 365 days.Results
In total, 3,980 patients (‘national registry’) and 4,014 patients (‘validation registry’) were compared at baseline. After one-year follow-up, 2,776 and 2,701 patients, respectively, were evaluated. Baseline characteristics, diagnosis and individual medication were comparable between the two registries. Of all 52,672 AMI patients in the Netherlands in 2012 and 2013, 81% used aspirin, 76% used P2Y12 inhibitors, 85% used statins, 82% used beta-blockers and 74% angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II antagonists. Optimal medical treatment was achieved in 49% of the patients with AMI.Conclusion
Nationwide routinely collected claims data in patients with an acute myocardial infarction are highly accurate. This offers an opportunity for use in quality assessments of cardiac care.5.

Introduction
Metabolomics is an emerging approach for early detection of cancer. Along with the development of metabolomics, high-throughput technologies and statistical learning, the integration of multiple biomarkers has significantly improved clinical diagnosis and management for patients.Objectives
In this study, we conducted a systematic review to examine recent advancements in the oncometabolomics-based diagnostic biomarker discovery and validation in pancreatic cancer.Methods
PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies published before September 2017. We examined the study designs, the metabolomics approaches, and the reporting methodological quality following PRISMA statement.Results and Conclusion
The included 25 studies primarily focused on the identification rather than the validation of predictive capacity of potential biomarkers. The sample size ranged from 10 to 8760. External validation of the biomarker panels was observed in nine studies. The diagnostic area under the curve ranged from 0.68 to 1.00 (sensitivity: 0.43–1.00, specificity: 0.73–1.00). The effects of patients’ bio-parameters on metabolome alterations in a context-dependent manner have not been thoroughly elucidated. The most reported candidates were glutamic acid and histidine in seven studies, and glutamine and isoleucine in five studies, leading to the predominant enrichment of amino acid-related pathways. Notably, 46 metabolites were estimated in at least two studies. Specific challenges and potential pitfalls to provide better insights into future research directions were thoroughly discussed. Our investigation suggests that metabolomics is a robust approach that will improve the diagnostic assessment of pancreatic cancer. Further studies are warranted to validate their validity in multi-clinical settings.6.

Purpose
To evaluate the efficiency of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in addition to topical voriconazole in cases with mycotic keratitis.Design
Retrospective case series in a tertiary university hospital.Participants
CXL was performed on 13 patients with mycotic keratitis who presented poor or no response to topical voriconazole treatment.Methods
The clinical features, symptoms, treatment results and complications were recorded retrospectively. The corneal infection was graded according to the depth of infection into the stroma (from grade 1 to grade 3). The visual analogue scale was used to calculate the pain score before and 2 days after surgery.Main Outcome Measures
Grade of the corneal infection.Results
Mean age of 13 patients (6 female and 7 male) was 42.4 ± 17.7 years (20–74 years). Fungus was demonstrated in culture (eight patients) or cytological examination (five patients). Seven of the 13 patients (54%) were healed with topical voriconazole and CXL adjuvant treatment in 26 ± 10 days (15–40 days). The remaining six patients did not respond to CXL treatment; they initially presented with higher grade ulcers. Pre- and post-operative pain score values were 8 ± 0.8 and 3.5 ± 1, respectively (p < 0.05).Conclusions
The current study suggests that adjunctive CXL treatment is effective in patients with small and superficial mycotic ulcers. These observations require further research by large randomized clinical trials.7.

Introduction
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a clinically heterogeneous disease, which necessitates a variety of treatments and leads to different outcomes. Only some CRC patients will benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).Objectives
An accurate prediction of response to NACT in CRC patients would greatly facilitate optimal personalized management, which could improve their long-term survival and clinical outcomes.Methods
In this study, plasma metabolite profiling was performed to identify potential biomarker candidates that can predict response to NACT for CRC. Metabolic profiles of plasma from non-response (n?=?30) and response (n?=?27) patients to NACT were studied using UHPLC–quadruple time-of-flight)/mass spectrometry analyses and statistical analysis methods.Results
The concentrations of nine metabolites were significantly different when comparing response to NACT. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve value of the potential biomarkers was up to 0.83 discriminating the non-response and response group to NACT, superior to the clinical parameters (carcinoembryonic antigen and carbohydrate antigen 199).Conclusion
These results show promise for larger studies that could result in more personalized treatment protocols for CRC patients.8.

Background
Cord blood lipids are potential disease biomarkers. We aimed to determine if their concentrations were affected by delayed blood processing.Method
Refrigerated cord blood from six healthy newborns was centrifuged every 12 h for 4 days. Plasma lipids were analysed by liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy.Results
Of 262 lipids identified, only eight varied significantly over time. These comprised three dihexosylceramides, two phosphatidylserines and two phosphatidylethanolamines whose relative concentrations increased and one sphingomyelin that decreased.Conclusion
Delay in separation of plasma from refrigerated cord blood has minimal effect overall on the plasma lipidome.9.

Background
Centrifugation is an indispensable procedure for plasma sample preparation, but applied conditions can vary between labs.Aim
Determine whether routinely used plasma centrifugation protocols (1500×g 10 min; 3000×g 5 min) influence non-targeted metabolomic analyses.Methods
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) data were evaluated with sparse partial least squares discriminant analyses and compared with cell count measurements.Results
Besides significant differences in platelet count, we identified substantial alterations in NMR and HRMS data related to the different centrifugation protocols.Conclusion
Already minor differences in plasma centrifugation can significantly influence metabolomic patterns and potentially bias metabolomics studies.10.

Introduction
Endometrial cancer (EC) is associated with metabolic disturbances including obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Identifying metabolite biomarkers for EC detection has a crucial role in reducing morbidity and mortality.Objective
To determine whether metabolomic based biomarkers can detect EC overall and early-stage EC.Methods
We performed NMR and mass spectrometry based metabolomic analyses of serum in EC cases versus controls. A total of 46 early-stage (FIGO stages I–II) and 10 late-stage (FIGO stages III–IV) EC cases constituted the study group. A total of 60 unaffected control samples were used. Patients and controls were divided randomly into a discovery group (n?=?69) and an independent validation group (n?=?47). Predictive algorithms based on biomarkers and demographic characteristics were generated using logistic regression analysis.Results
A total of 181 metabolites were evaluated. Extensive changes in metabolite levels were noted in the EC versus the control group. The combination of C14:2, phosphatidylcholine with acyl-alkyl residue sum C38:1 (PCae C38:1) and 3-hydroxybutyric acid had an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) (95% CI)?=?0.826 (0.706–0.946) and a sensitivity?=?82.6%, and specificity?=?70.8% for EC overall. For early EC prediction: BMI, C14:2 and PC ae C40:1 had an AUC (95% CI)?=?0.819 (0.689–0.95) and a sensitivity?=?72.2% and specificity?=?79.2% in the validation group.Conclusions
EC is characterized by significant perturbations in important cellular metabolites. Metabolites accurately detected early-stage EC cases and EC overall which could lead to the development of non-invasive biomarkers for earlier detection of EC and for monitoring disease recurrence.12.

Background
A trend of stage-by-stage increase in tumorsphere (TS) formation from glioma samples has been reported. Despite this trend, not all surgical specimens give rise to TSs, even World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV gliomas. Furthermore, it has been reported that differences in overall survival of primary glioblastoma patients depends on the propensity of their tumors to form TSs. However, the weights of fresh specimens vary from one surgical isolate to the next.Methods
Accordingly, we evaluated the relationship between the weights of surgical specimens in WHO grade IV gliomas with the capacity to isolate TSs. Thirty-five fresh WHO grade IV glioma specimens were separated into two groups, based on whether they were positive or negative for TS isolation, and the relationship between TS isolation and weight of surgical specimens was assessed.Results
We observed no significant difference in the weights of surgical samples in the two groups, and found that the optimal weight of specimens for TSs isolation was 500 mg.Conclusion
Thus, contrary to our expectations, the ability to isolate TSs from WHO grade IV glioma specimens was not related to the weight of fresh specimens.13.

Introduction
In patients with obstructive jaundice, biliary drainage sometimes fails to result in improvement. A pharmaceutical-grade choleretic herbal medicine, Inchinkoto (ICKT), has been proposed to exert auxiliary effects on biliary drainage; however, its effects are variable among patients.Objectives
The aim of this study is to explore serum biomarkers that are associated with pharmaceutical efficacy of ICKT.Methods
Obstructive jaundice patients who underwent external biliary decompression were enrolled (n?=?37). ICKT was given orally 3 times a day at daily dose of 7.5 g. Serum and bile samples were collected before, 3 h after, and 24 h after ICKT administration. The concentrations of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and total bile acid in bile specimens were measured. Metabolites in serum samples were comprehensively profiled using LC–MS/MS and GC–MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic analysis of major ICKT components was also performed.Results
ICKT administration significantly decreased serum ALT and increased bile volume after 24 h. The serum concentrations of ICKT components were not well correlated with the efficacy of ICKT. However, the ratio of 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid to arachidonic acid and the ratio of glutaric acid to niacinamide, exhibited good performance as biomarkers for the efficacy of ICKT on bile flow and ALT, respectively. Additionally, comprehensive correlation analysis revealed that serum glucuronic acid was highly correlated with serum total bilirubin, suggesting that this metabolite may be deeply involved in the pathogenesis of jaundice.Conclusions
The present study indicates that ICKT is efficacious and provides candidates for predicting ICKT efficacy. Further validation studies are warranted.14.
Objectives
To explore therapeutic effects of conditioned medium from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on nasal mucosa radiation damage both in vivo and in vitro.Results
The mucus cilia clearance time (7 and 30 days), degree of mucosal edema (7, 30, 90 and 180 days), cilia coverage (180 days) of concentrated conditioned medium group improved compared with radiotherapy control group. The proliferation and migration abilities of irradiated and non-irradiated nasal epithelial cells significantly increased after culture in bronchial epithelial cell growth medium (BEGM) containing 10% conditioned medium of hUC-MSCs compared to cells cultured in BEGM alone.Conclusions
Soluble factors secreted by hUC-MSCs may promote nasal epithelial cell proliferation and migration. Intranasal administration of hUC-MSC conditioned medium effectively repairs nasal mucosa radiation damage.15.
Background
The protein encoded by the gene ybgI was chosen as a target for a structural genomics project emphasizing the relation of protein structure to function.Results
The structure of the ybgI protein is a toroid composed of six polypeptide chains forming a trimer of dimers. Each polypeptide chain binds two metal ions on the inside of the toroid.Conclusion
The toroidal structure is comparable to that of some proteins that are involved in DNA metabolism. The di-nuclear metal site could imply that the specific function of this protein is as a hydrolase-oxidase enzyme.16.

Introduction
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders believed to have a multifactorial basis. Presently, diagnosis is based on behavioral and developmental signs in children before the age of 3 and no reliable clinical biomarkers are available for early detection.Objectives
This study aimed to biochemically profile the cerebellum from post-mortem human brain from ASD sufferers (n = 11) and compare their profiles to that of age-matched controls (n = 11) with no known brain disorder.Methods
Using liquid chromatography combined with LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry we detected 14,328 features in ESI+ mode in polar extracts of post-mortem brain.Results
Of these only 37 were found to be statistically significantly different between ASD and controls (p < 0.05; fdr < 0.05). A panel of four features had a predictive power of 96.64 %, following statistical cross validation, for ASD detection. This model produced an AUC = 0.874 (CI 0.768–0.944) and a Fisher’s exact score of p = 4.50E?29.Conclusion
Whilst at this time we were unable to chemically identify the four features of interest we believe that this study underscores the potential value of high resolution metabolomics for the study of ASD. Further characterization of the polar metabolome of post mortem ASD brains could lead to the identification of potential biomarkers and novel therapeutics for the disease. The development of accurate biomarkers could assist in the early detection of ASD and promote early intervention strategies to improve outcome.17.

Introduction
Poultry is one of the most consumed meat in the world and its related industry is always looking for ways to improve animal welfare and productivity. It is therefore essential to understand the metabolic response of the chicken to new feed formulas, various supplements, infections and treatments.Objectives
As a basis for future research investigating the impact of diet and infections on chicken’s metabolism, we established a high-resolution proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolic atlas of the healthy chicken (Gallus gallus).Methods
Metabolic extractions were performed prior to 1H-NMR and 2D NMR spectra acquisition on twelve biological matrices: liver, kidney, spleen, plasma, egg yolk and white, colon, caecum, faecal water, ileum, pectoral muscle and brain of 6 chickens. Metabolic profiles were then exhaustively characterized.Results
Nearly 80 metabolites were identified. A cross-comparison of these matrices was performed to determine metabolic variations between and within each section and highlighted that only eight core metabolites were systematically found in every matrice.Conclusion
This work constitutes a database for future NMR-based metabolomic investigations in relation to avian production and health.18.

Introduction
Persons living with HIV (PLWH) are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events than uninfected persons. Current risk-stratification methods to define PLWH at highest risk for CVD events are lacking.Methods
Using tandem flow injection mass spectrometry, we quantified plasma levels of 60 metabolites in 24 matched pairs of PLWH [1:1 with and without known coronary artery disease (CAD)]. Metabolite levels were reduced to interpretable factors using principal components analysis.Results
Factors derived from short-chain dicarboxylacylcarnitines (SCDA) (p?=?0.08) and glutamine/valine (p?=?0.003) were elevated in CAD cases compared to controls.Conclusion
SCDAs and glutamine/valine may be valuable markers of cardiovascular risk among persons living with HIV in the future, pending validation in larger cohorts.20.
