- Multiple models of human metabolism have been reconstructed, but each represents only a subset of our knowledge. Here we describe Recon 2, a community-driven, consensus 'metabolic reconstruction', which is the most comprehensive representation of human metabolism that is applicable to computational modeling. Compared with its predecessors, the reconstruction has improved topological and functional features, including similar to 2x more reactions and similar to 1.7x more unique metabolites. Using Recon 2 we predicted changes in metabolite biomarkers for 49 inborn errors of metabolism with 77% accuracy when compared to experimental data. Mapping metabolomic data and drug information onto Recon 2 demonstrates its potential for integrating and analyzing diverse data types. Using protein expression data, we automatically generated a compendium of 65 cell type-specific models, providing a basis for manual curation or investigation of cell-specific metabolic properties. Recon 2 will facilitate many future biomedical studies and is freely available at http://humanmetabolism.org/.

- ObjectiveTo evaluate whether defective placentation disorders, i.e. pre-eclampsia, stillbirth, small for gestational age (SGA), and spontaneous preterm birth, are associated with risk of retained placenta. DesignPopulation-based cohort study. SettingSweden. PopulationPrimiparous women in Sweden with singleton vaginal deliveries between 1997 and 2009 at 32-41weeks of gestation (n=386607), without placental abruption or infants with congenital malformations. MethodsRisks were calculated as odds ratios (ORs) by unconditional logistic regression with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) after adjustments for maternal, delivery, and infant characteristics. Main outcome measureRetained placenta, defined by the presence of both a diagnostic code (of retained placenta) and a procedure code (for the manual removal of the placenta). ResultsThe overall rate of retained placenta was 2.17%. The risk of retained placenta was increased for women with pre-eclampsia (adjusted OR, aOR, 1.37, 95%CI 1.21-1.54), stillbirth (aOR1.71, 95%CI 1.28-2.29), SGA birth (aOR1.47, 95%CI 1.28-1.70), and spontaneous preterm birth (32-34weeks of gestation, aOR2.35, 95%CI 1.97-2.81; 35-36weeks of gestation, aOR1.55, 95%CI 1.37-1.75). The risk was further increased for women with preterm pre-eclampsia (aOR1.69, 95%CI 1.25-2.28) and preterm SGA birth (aOR2.19, 95%CI 1.42-3.38). There was no association between preterm stillbirth (aOR1.10, 95%CI 0.63-1.92) and retained placenta, but the exposed group comprised only 15 cases. ConclusionsDefective placentation disorders are associated with an increased risk of retained placenta. Whether these relationships indicate a common pathophysiology remains to be investigated.
