Abstract
The science related to biomaterials and tissue engineering accounts for a growing part of our knowledge. Surface modifications of biomaterials, their performance in vitro, and the interaction between them and surrounding tissues are gaining more and more attention. It is because we are interested in finding sophisticated materials that help us to treat or mitigate different disorders. Therefore, efficient methods for surface analysis are needed. Several methods are routinely applied to characterize the physical and chemical properties of the biomaterial surface. Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) techniques are able to measure the information about molecular composition simultaneously from biomaterial and adjacent tissue. That is why it can answer the questions connected with biomaterial characteristics and their biological influence. Moreover, this kind of analysis does not demand any antibodies or dyes that may influence the studied items. It means that we can correlate surface chemistry with a biological response without any modification that could distort the image. In our review, we presented examples of biomaterials analyzed by MSI techniques to indicate the utility of SIMS, MALDI, and DESI-three major ones in the field of biomaterials applications. Examples include biomaterials used to treat vascular system diseases, bone implants with the effects of implanted material on adjacent tissues, nanofibers and membranes monitored by mass spectrometry-related techniques, analyses of drug-eluting long-acting parenteral (LAPs) implants and microspheres where MSI serves as a quality control system.

Abstract
Hemodialysis is a life-sustaining therapy for millions of people worldwide. However, despite considerable technical and scientific improvements, results are still not fully satisfactory in terms of morbidity and mortality. The membrane contained in the hemodialyzer is undoubtedly the main determinant of the success and quality of hemodialysis therapy. Membrane properties influence solute removal and the interactions with blood components that define the membrane’s biocompatibility. Bioincompatibility is considered a potential contributor to several uremic complications. Thus, the development of more biocompatible polymers used as hemodialyzer membrane is of utmost importance for improving results and clinical patient outcomes. Many different surface-modified membranes for hemodialysis have been manufactured over recent years by varying approaches in the attempt to minimize blood incompatibility. Their main characteristics and clinical results in hemodialysis patients were reviewed in the present article.

Applications of multivariate analysis and unsupervised machine learning to ToF-SIMS images of organic, bioorganic, and biological systems. Biointerphases 2022; 17:020802.

Abstract
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging offers a powerful, label-free method for exploring organic, bioorganic, and biological systems. The technique is capable of very high spatial resolution, while also producing an enormous amount of information about the chemical and molecular composition of a surface. However, this information is inherently complex, making interpretation and analysis of the vast amount of data produced by a single ToF-SIMS experiment a considerable challenge. Much research over the past few decades has focused on the application and development of multivariate analysis (MVA) and machine learning (ML) techniques that find meaningful patterns and relationships in these datasets. Here, we review the unsupervised algorithms—that is, algorithms that do not require ground truth labels—that have been applied to ToF-SIMS images, as well as other algorithms and approaches that have been used in the broader family of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) techniques. We first give a nontechnical overview of several commonly used classes of unsupervised algorithms, such as matrix factorization, clustering, and nonlinear dimensionality reduction. We then review the application of unsupervised algorithms to various organic, bioorganic, and biological systems including cells and tissues, organic films, residues and coatings, and spatially structured systems such as polymer microarrays. We then cover several novel algorithms employed for other MSI techniques that have received little attention from ToF-SIMS imaging researchers. We conclude with a brief outline of potential future directions for the application of MVA and ML algorithms to ToF-SIMS images.

Distinct Solute Removal Patterns by Similar Surface High-Flux Membranes in Haemodiafiltration: The Adsorption Point of View. Blood Purif 2021; 51:38-46.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemodialysis (HD) allow depuration of uraemic toxins by diffusion, convection, and adsorption. Online haemodiafiltration (HDF) treatments add high convection to enhance removal. There are no prior studies on the relationship between convection and adsorption in HD membranes. The possible benefits conferred by intrinsic adsorption on protein-bound uraemic toxins (PBUTs) removal are unknown. METHODS Twenty-two patients underwent their second 3-days per week HD sessions with randomly selected haemodialysers (polysulfone, polymethylmethacrylate, cellulose triacetate, and polyamide copolymer) in high-flux HD and HDF. Blood samples were taken at the beginning and at the end of the treatment to assess the reduction ratio (RR) in a wide range of molecular weight uraemic toxins. A mid-range removal score (GRS) was also calculated. An elution protocol was implemented to quantify the amount of adsorbed mass (Mads) for each molecule in every dialyser. RESULTS All synthetic membranes achieved higher RR for all toxins when used in HDF, specially the polysulfone haemodialyser, resulting in a GRS = 0.66 ± 0.06 (p < 0.001 vs. cellulose triacetate and polyamide membranes). Adsorption was slightly enhanced by convection for all membranes. The polymethylmethacrylate membrane showed expected substantial adsorption of β2-microglobulin (MadsHDF = 3.5 ± 2.1 mg vs. MadsHD = 2.1 ± 0.9 mg, p = 0.511), whereas total protein adsorption was pronounced in the cellulose triacetate membrane (MadsHDF = 427.2 ± 207.9 mg vs. MadsHD = 274.7 ± 138.3 mg, p = 0.586) without enhanced PBUT removal. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Convection improves removal and slightly increases adsorption. Adsorbed proteins do not lead to enhanced PBUTs depuration and limit membrane efficiency due to fouling. Selection of the correct membrane for convective therapies is mandatory to optimize removal efficiency.

Strategies for asymmetrical triacetate dialyser heparin-free effective haemodialysis: the SAFE study. Clin Kidney J 2020; 14:1901-1907.

Abstract
Background In haemodialysis, maintaining patency of the extracorporeal circuit requires the use of anticoagulants. Although (low molecular weight) heparins are the mainstay, these are not well tolerated in all patients. Alternative approaches include saline infusion, citrate-containing dialysate, regional citrate anticoagulation or the use of heparin-coated membranes. Asymmetric cellulose triacetate (ATA) dialysers have a low degree of platelet contact activation and might be an alternative to heparin-coated dialysers. The aim of this study was to test the clotting propensity of ATA when used without systemic anticoagulation. Methods We performed a Phase II pilot study in maintenance dialysis patients. The ‘Strategies for Asymmetrical Triacetate dialyzer heparin-Free Effective hemodialysis’ (SAFE) study was a two-arm open-label crossover study. In Arm A, patients were dialysed using 1.9 m2 ATA membranes in combination with a citrate-containing dialysate (1 mM). In Arm B, the ATA membrane was combined with high-volume predilution haemodiafiltration (HDF) without any other anticoagulation. The primary endpoint was the success rate to complete 4 h of haemodialysis without preterm clotting. Secondary endpoints included time to clotting and measures of dialysis adequacy. Results We scheduled 240 dialysis sessions (120/arm) in 20 patients. Patients were randomized 1:1 to start with Arm A or B. All patients crossed to the other arm halfway through the study. A total of 232 (96.7%) study treatments were delivered. Overall, 23 clotting events occurred, 7 in Arm A and 16 in Arm B. The success rate in Arm A (ATA + citrate-containing dialysate) was 90.8/94.0% [intention to treat (ITT)/as treated]. The success rate in Arm B (ATA + predilution HDF) was 83.3/86.2% (ITT/as treated). Time to clotting was borderline significantly better in Arm A (Mantel-Cox log rank P = 0.05). Conclusion ATA dialysers have a low clotting propensity and both predilution HDF and a citrate-containing dialysate resulted in high rates of completed dialysis sessions.

Abstract
Adsorption properties of hemodialyzers are traditionally retrieved from diffusive treatments and mainly focused on inflammatory markers and plasma proteins. The possible depurative enhancement of middle and high molecular weight solutes, as well as protein-bound uremic toxins by adsorption in convective treatments, is not yet reported. We used discarded plasma exchanges from uremic patients and out-of-date erythrocytes as a novel in vitro uremic precursor matrix to assess removal and adsorption patterns of distinct material and structure but similar surface hemodialyzers in hemodialysis and on-line hemodiafiltration treatments. We further related the obtained results to the possible underlying membrane pore blocking mechanisms. Convection improved removal but slightly enhanced adsorption in the cellulosic and synthetic dialyzers tested. The polymethylmethacrylate hemodialyzer obtained the highest extracted ([Formula: see text]) and adsorbed ([Formula: see text]) mass values when submitted to hemodiafiltration for all molecules analyzed including albumin ([Formula: see text] g, [Formula: see text] mg), whereas the polyamide membrane obtained substantial lower results even for this molecule ([Formula: see text] g, [Formula: see text] mg) under the same treatment parameters. Hemodiafiltration in symmetric and enlarged pore hemodialyzers enhances removal and adsorption by internal pore deposition (intermediate pore-blocking) for middle and high molecular weight toxins but leads to substantial and deleterious albumin depuration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current methods to identify, classify, and predict tumor behavior mostly rely on histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular determinants. However, better predictive markers are required for tumor diagnosis and evaluation. Due, in part, to recent technological advancements, metabolomics and lipid biomarkers have become a promising area in cancer research. Therefore, there is a necessity for novel and complementary techniques to identify and visualize these molecular markers within tumors and surrounding tissue. RECENT FINDINGS Since its introduction, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has proven to be a powerful tool for mapping analytes in biological tissues. By adding the label-free specificity of mass spectrometry to the detailed spatial information of traditional histology, hundreds of lipids can be imaged simultaneously within a tumor. MSI provides highly detailed lipid maps for comparing intra-tumor, tumor margin, and healthy regions to identify biomarkers, patterns of disease, and potential therapeutic targets. In this manuscript, recent advancement in sample preparation and MSI technologies are discussed with special emphasis on cancer lipid research to identify tumor biomarkers. CONCLUSION MSI offers a unique approach for biomolecular characterization of tumor tissues and provides valuable complementary information to histology for lipid biomarker discovery and tumor classification in clinical and research cancer applications.

Abstract
Solvent-free synthesis encourages the design of processes and products that reduce the use and generation of hazardous chemicals. Given the importance of developing greener methodologies, we sought to determine the factors influencing the reaction temperature required for solvent-free, enzymatic synthesis of sugar esters such as trehalose (TRE) esters, using Novozyme 435 as the enzyme catalyst. The use of lauric acid (La) and ethyl laurate (LaEt) as acyl donors did not affect the activation temperature for the generation of trehalose diesters (TDEs), despite the differences in corresponding by-products (water and ethanol). However, when glucose (GLU) and La were employed as reaction substrates as a comparison, glucose monoester (GME) generation readily occurred at much lower temperatures than with the TRE esters, even without a water collection device. Moreover, when the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the sugar substrates increased, a higher reaction temperature was required. These results suggest that while the activation temperature of the reaction did not correlate with the boiling point of the by-product, it did correlate with the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the trehalose substrates. Thus, our work demonstrates the importance of the physical state of amorphous matrices in determining the optimal reaction temperature of a solvent-free sugar synthesis.

Theoretical modeling of membrane transport is an important tool which provides researchers with a quantification of the complex phenomena involved in dialysis. In the paper, we present a dense review of the most successful theoretical approaches to the description of transport across the polymeric membrane wall as well as the cell⁻polymer surface interaction, and refer to the corresponding experimental methods while studying these phenomena in dialyzing filters.

Abstract
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was employed to analyse cellulose viscose fibres treated with different chitosan-based solutions. The analysis reports several new features in the TOF-SIMS spectra for systems with various forms of chitosan-treated surfaces. The characteristic positive ion TOF-SIMS signals for chitosan are reported at m/z 147.90, 207.07, and 221.09, and characteristic signals for trimethyl chitosan are present at m/z 58.03 and 102.09. Furthermore, new fragments were suggested to characterise acetylated chitosan molecules. The relative surface concentrations of different species were obtained based on the specific signal ratios (originating from a specific fragment and cellulose). SIMS imaging was then performed in order to investigate the surface distribution of chitosan, trimethyl chitosan, and Na-containing nanoparticles. In order to perform TOF-SIMS imaging, the above-mentioned characteristic signals were employed and m/z 22.99 was used for Na nanoparticles.

Abstract
PURPOSE The artificial membrane inside the haemodialyzer is the main determinant of the quality and success of haemodialysis therapy. The performances of haemodialysis membranes are highly influenced by the interactions with plasma proteins, which in turn are related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the membrane material. The present cross-over study is aimed to analyse the haemodialysis performance of a newly developed asymmetric cellulose triacetate membrane (ATA) in comparison to the conventional parent symmetric polymer (CTA). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In four chronic non diabetic haemodialysis patients, the protein constituents of the adsorbed material from the filters after the haemodialysis session, and the proteins recovered in the ultrafiltrate during the session, are identified using a bottom-up shotgun proteomics approach. RESULTS The ATA membrane shows a lower protein adsorption rate and a lower mass distribution pattern of the proteinaceous material. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE By highlighting the differences between the two haemodialysis filters in terms of adsorbed proteins and flow through, it is demonstrated the higher biocompatibility of the novel ATA membrane, that fulfils the indications for the development of more performant membranes and may represent a step forward for the treatment of patients on chronic haemodialysis.
