چکیده
AIM To use high field proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR) to characterise the low molecular weight metabolite composition of neonatal and fetal urine in relation to gestational age and perinatal outcome. METHODS The first urine passed by two neonatal groups, six full term and five preterm infants with normal renal function, was analysed by 1H NMR and compared with fetal urine from 14 cases with obstructive uropathy. RESULTS The mean ratios of taurine, myo-inositol, and trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) to creatinine were 4.3, 10.1, and 14.1 times higher, respectively, in the preterm group when compared with those of the full term group. Fetal obstructive uropathy was characterised by glycosuria, amino and organic aciduria, regardless of gestational age (13-30 weeks). CONCLUSIONS Samples of the first urine passed--that is, urine produced in fetal life--by normal preterm infants are useful controls for cases of obstructive uropathy detected in the third trimester. 1H NMR will become a clinically useful tool for monitoring renal development and abnormalities in utero.

Analysis of Cerebrospinal Fluid in Diagnosis of Bacterial Meningitis; Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: A Systematic Review
Background: Analysis of biofluids provides a unique window into the biochemical status of a living organism since the composition of a given biofluid will be modulated according to the level of function of the cells that are intimately concerned with its manufacture and secretion. One of the most successful approaches to biofluid analysis has been the application of NMR spectroscopy. Objective...
متن کاملCerebral energy metabolism in isovaleric acidaemia.
A newborn infant with an acute metabolic encephalopathy caused by isovaleric acidaemia had severe impairment of cerebral energy metabolism. This was detected by phosphorus and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. After treatment she made excellent clinical recovery, her spectroscopic abnormalities resolved, and she was neurologically normal at the age of 1 year.

The utility of biomarkers in hepatocellular carcinoma: review of urine-based 1H-NMR studies – what the clinician needs to know
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common malignancy, the third most common cause of cancer death, and the most common primary liver cancer. Overall, there is a need for more reliable biomarkers for HCC, as those currently available lack sensitivity and specificity. For example, the current gold-standard biomarker, serum alpha-fetoprotein, has a sensitivity of roughly only 70%. Ca...
