- INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to assess the feasibility of diagnosing early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by measuring selected metabolic biomarkers. METHODS: We compared the metabolic profile of patients with RA with those of healthy controls and patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsoA). The metabolites were measured using two different chromatography-mass spectrometry platforms, thereby giving a broad overview of serum metabolites. The metabolic profiles of patient and control groups were compared using multivariate statistical analysis. The findings were validated in a follow-up study of RA patients and healthy volunteers. RESULTS: RA patients were diagnosed with a sensitivity of 93 % and a specificity of 70 % in a validation study using detection of 52 metabolites. Patients with RA or PsoA could be distinguished with a sensitivity of 90 % and a specificity of 94 %. Glyceric acid, D-ribofuranoise and hypoxanthine were increased in RA patients, whereas histidine, threonic acid, methionine, cholesterol, asparagine and threonine were all decreased when compared with healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS: Metabolite profiling (metabolomics) is a potentially useful technique for diagnosing RA. The predictive value was irrespective of the presence of antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (ACPA).

- PURPOSE: The aim was to compare postprandial lipid, insulin and vitamin D responses after consumption of three otherwise identical meals served either with baked herring, pickled herring or with baked, minced beef. METHODS: Seventeen healthy, overweight men (mean age 58 years, BMI 26.4-29.5 kg/m2) consumed standardized lunches together with baked herring, pickled herring or baked, minced beef on three occasions in a crossover design. Blood samples were taken just before and up to 7 h after the meal. The postprandial response was measured as serum concentrations of triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol and lipoproteins (LDL, HDL and VLDL), insulin, 25-OH vitamin D and plasma fatty acid composition. RESULTS: There was no difference in postprandial lipid responses between the two herring meals, whereas a slower TG clearance was observed after the baked, minced beef meal. The 150 g servings of baked and pickled herring provided 3.3 and 2.8 g of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA), respectively, which was reflected in a substantial postprandial increase in plasma LC n-3 PUFA levels. The pickled herring contained 22 % sugar and consequently gave a higher insulin response compared with the other two meals. CONCLUSIONS: Both pickled and baked herring are good sources of LC n-3 PUFA in the diet, but the presence of sugar in pickled herring should be taken into consideration, especially if large amounts are consumed. The faster postprandial TG clearance after a meal with baked herring compared with baked beef supports previous studies on the beneficial effects of herring on cardiovascular health.

- H 335/25, a 4-amino quinoline, belongs to a new class of reversible gastric acid pump inhibitors. A potential advantage of such drugs over the irreversible proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is better control over the effect-time profile. Dose escalation studies were performed to characterize the effect on acid secretion in dogs (n=24) and healthy male subjects (n=12). The effect-time profile was delayed compared to the concentration-time profile. A model-based approach, using non-linear mixed effects modelling, was applied to quantify and elucidate the mechanism for the delayed effect. Three different models were investigated: (1) a slow equilibration preceding the formation of drug-enzyme complex, modelled by an effect-compartment, (2) a slow equilibration between free drug, free enzyme and drug-enzyme complex, described by a kinetic binding model, and (3) a delay between enzyme inhibition and the measured response, described by an indirect response model. Model 2 was shown to be superior to models 1 and 3, for both dog and human data. The dissociation rate constant, k(off), was estimated to be 0.85 and 0.88 h and the calculated equilibration constant, K(d), was 160 and 250 nM in dog and man, respectively. Simulations of the predicted time-course of the effect beyond the 4-5-h observation period was similar for the three models.

The structure-function relationship for alumina supported platinum during the formation of ammonia from nitrogen oxide and hydrogen in the presence of oxygen

- We study the structure-function relationship of alumina supported platinum during the formation of ammonia from nitrogen oxide and dihydrogen by employing in situ X-ray absorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Particular focus has been directed towards the effect of oxygen on the reaction as a model system for emerging technologies for passive selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides. The suppressed formation of ammonia observed as the feed becomes net-oxidizing is accompanied by a considerable increase in the oxidation state of platinum as well as the formation of surface nitrates and the loss of NH-containing surface species. In the presence of (excess) oxygen, the ammonia formation is proposed to be limited by weak interaction between nitrogen oxide and the oxidized platinum surface. This leads to a slow dissociation rate of nitrogen oxide and thus low abundance of the atomic nitrogen surface species that can react with the adsorbed hydrogen species. In this case the consumption of hydrogen through the competing water formation reaction and decomposition/oxidation of ammonia are of less importance for the net ammonia formation.

- We study the structure-function relationship of alumina supported platinum during forma- tion of ammonia from nitrogen oxide and dihydrogen by employing in situ X-ray absorption and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy. Particular focus is directed towards the effect of increased levels of oxygen on the reaction as a model system for emerging technologies for passive selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides. The suppressed formation of ammo- nia observed as the feed becomes net-oxidizing is accompanied by a considerable increase in the oxidation state of platinum as well as enhanced formation of surface nitrates and loss of NH-containing surface species. In the presence of (excess) oxygen, the ammonia formation is proposed to be limited by the weak interaction between nitrogen oxide and the oxidized platinum surface. This leads to slow dissociation rate of nitrogen oxide and thus low abun- dance of atomic nitrogen surface species that can react with adsorbed hydrogen atoms. In this case the consumption of hydrogen through the competing water formation reaction and decomposition/oxidation of ammonia are of less importance for the net ammonia formation.

- A feedback model was developed to describe the tolerance and oscillatory rebound seen in non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) plasma concentrations following intravenous infusions of nicotinic acid (NiAc) to male Sprague-Dawley rats. NiAc was administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 min (0, 1, 5 or 20 μmol kg(-1) of body weight) or over 300 min (0, 5, 10 or 51 μmol kg(-1) of body weight), to healthy rats (n = 63), and serial arterial blood samples were taken for measurement of NiAc and NEFA plasma concentrations. Data were analyzed using nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NONMEM). The disposition of NiAc was described by a two-compartment model with endogenous turnover rate and two parallel capacity-limited elimination processes. The plasma concentration of NiAc was driving NEFA (R) turnover via an inhibitory drug-mechanism function acting on the formation of NEFA. The NEFA turnover was described by a feedback model with a moderator distributed over a series of transit compartments, where the first compartment (M (1)) inhibited the formation of R and the last compartment (M ( N )) stimulated the loss of R. All processes regulating plasma NEFA concentrations were assumed to be captured by the moderator function. The potency, IC (50), of NiAc was 45 nmol L(-1), the fractional turnover rate k ( out ) was 0.41 L mmol(-1) min(-1) and the turnover rate of moderator k ( tol ) was 0.027 min(-1). A lower physiological limit of NEFA was modeled as a NiAc-independent release (k ( cap )) of NEFA into plasma and was estimated to 0.032 mmol L(-1) min(-1). This model can be used to provide information about factors that determine the time-course of NEFA response following different modes, rates and routes of administration of NiAc. The proposed model may also serve as a preclinical tool for analyzing and simulating drug-induced changes in plasma NEFA concentrations after treatment with NiAc or NiAc analogues.
