Scheme of quality control process based on analytical techniques for monitoring hemolysis in serum/plasma samples. * The visual assessment of potential blood hemolysis (rupturing of erythrocytes) was performed according to the following scale: −, no discernable hemolysis (serum/plasma color is pale yellow or yellow)—sample suitable for further processing; +/−, suspected hemolysis (serum/plasma color is pale pink)—sample may be suitable for further processing but requires additional confirmation by spectrophotometric technique and optionally qPCR-based approach. +/++/+++, low, medium, or high degree of hemolysis (serum/plasma tinted red in varying degrees)—sample is not suitable for further processing; refrain from carrying out further procedure. # Spectrophotometric analysis based on oxyhemoglobin absorbance measurements at λ = 414 nm and at λ = 385 nm (as a lipemia indicator) using NanoDrop 2000c spectrophotometer with cuvette module (100 µL) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) [15]. Range: Hemolysis score (HS): HS < 0.057—non-hemolyzed plasma/serum specimens; HS > 0.057 hemolyzed plasma/serum samples. § Quantification RT-PCR method based on hsa-miR-451a and hsa-miR-23a-3p expression levels [16]. miRNA-based hemolysis indicator formula: ΔCt (miR-23a–miR-451). Range: ΔCt > 5—possible erythrocyte miRNA contamination; ΔCt > 7–8 or more—high risk of blood hemolysis.

The influence of mRNA splicing and alternative splicing on gene expression. Left panel: Schematic of pre-mRNA splicing and the different forms of alternative splicing. Splicing of pre-mRNA can result in the expression of the full encoded protein or (n) number of protein isoforms produced as a result of alternative splicing. Right panel: Schematic of RNA editing’s potential to alter gene expression. Editing of the pre-mRNA by adenosine or cytidine deaminases can result in single amino acid substitutions to the protein, alter splice site selection (promoting alternatively spliced mRNAs and protein isoforms), or both.

Overall presentation of different causes of angioedema classified by pathophysiology mechanisms, focusing on bradikinergic or BK-mediated angioedema (BK-AE) and drug-induced forms [3,47,109]. * Hereditary angioedema (HAE) with C1-INH deficiency with low antigenic and functional C1-INH levels (HAE-1, 85% of cases), HAE due to C1-INH dysfunction (HAE-2, 10% of cases) characterized by normal or elevated antigenic but low functional C1-INH levels, and HAE with normal C1-INH (HAE-nC1-INH, 5% of cases) due to various gene mutations. ** Acquired forms of BK-AE include drug-induced AE, such as AE induced by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), AE due to acquired C1-INH deficiency (AAE-C1-INH), and acquired idiopathic non-histaminergic AE. *** Mast cell-mediated angioedema (MC-AE) includes allergic IgE-mediated reactions (such as AE with anaphylaxis), nonallergic non-IgE-mediated reactions (such as AE due to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or infections), AE in chronic inducible urticaria or chronic spontaneous urticaria (sometimes referred to as idiopathic histaminergic acquired AE). The diversity of mediators involved in MC-AE is reflected also by the fact that patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria may respond to treatment with omalizumab but not to H1 antihistamines.

T2 FLAIR brain MRI of patient 1 at initial presentation demonstrated hyperintensities involving the brainstem, left frontal, parietal, and temporal cortex (A, B). T2 FLAIR brain MRI after admission to our hospital and suffering from status epilepticus demonstrated hyperintensities involving the left frontal cortex and bilateral temporo-parietal cortex (C, D). Repeat T2 FLAIR brain MRI three weeks after immunotherapy initiation showed improvement in the bilateral temporo-parietal cortex (E, F). There were no obvious lesions on images seven months after the initial treatment (G, H). Axial T2 FLAIR brain MRI of patient 2 at initial presentation demonstrated hyperintensities involving the left temporal, parietal, and occipital cortex (I, J). T2 FLAIR brain MRI ten days after immunotherapy initiation was normal (K, L). T2 FLAIR brain MRI after disease relapse demonstrated multiple hyperintensities, in keeping with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis involving the bilateral thalamus, basal ganglia, and right centrum semiovale (M, N).

Spectrophotometer analysis of ascorbic acid (AA) impact on pyocyanin (Pyo) absorbance. Ascorbic acid (acidic pH) showed immediate hyperchromic and hypsochromic shifts of pyocyanin absorbance peak at 385 nm and 695 nm, respectively. In the presence of neutralised ascorbic acid, the change was gradual and was more prominent at later hours. The bottom centre and right-end graphs show a summary of the hyperchromic shift and hypsochromic shift of pyocyanin absorbance peak at 385 and 695 nm in the presence of ascorbic acid over time.

1H-NMR analysis of the impact of ascorbic acid (AA) on pyocyanin in the pyocyanin aromatic region. The aromatic part of pyocyanin showed precise modulation in its characteristic NMR signals upon forming a complex with ascorbic acid at both acidic and physiological pH. Main y after 72 h of formation of new peaks at 8.1 ppm and disappearance of pyocyanin peaks around 6.2 and 6.4 ppm refer towards the construction of new species or a pyocyanin-ascorbic acid adduct.

Pyocyanin incubated with ascorbic acid (AA) for 2 and 72 h in the presence of acidic or neutral pH showed a drastic reduction in pyocyanin recovery. (A) The impact is higher and faster with acidic ascorbic acid than with its buffered version. *Indicates the differences are statistically significant (p < 0.05) compared to pyocyanin 50 μM. All experiments were conducted with n = 3 replicates. (B) Circular dichroism shows pyocyanin and phenazine intercalate with DNA, as evident by the hyperchromic effect observed at pyocyanin peaks at 220 nm and 280 nm. (C) Fluorescent spectroscopy analysis showing ascorbic acid inhibits pyocyanin binding to DNA. EtBr displacement method demonstrates pyocyanin displaces EtBr and binds with DNA (empty circle) and fluorescent intensity down to 305 (left panel). In the presence of AA, the Pyo-AA complex hinders pyocyanin binding to DNA with a fluorescent value raised to 425 (right panel).

Impact of ascorbic acid (AA) and furanone-30 (Fu-30) and combination of both on P. aeruginosa quorum sensing. MH602 was used to study the effects of the lasR system (left hand side), whereas PAO1 was used to study rhlA (centre) and pqsR (right hand side). Fu-30 showed a decline in the production of GFP up to 8 h and the addition of AA alone showed considerable declines in GFP production at all time points. The combination of AA with Fu-30 showed the most decrease in the activity of all three QS systems, especially at AA 20 mM + Fu-30 20 μM. All experiments were conducted in triplicate. *Indicates p < 0.05 in comparison to the control, **indicates p < 0.05 in comparison to the Fu-30 alone and ***p < 0.05 in comparison to the AA alone, #indicates p < 0.05 comparison between increasing concentration of Fu-30 alone and ##p < 0.05 comparison between increasing concentration of AA alone.
