Abstract
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women after lung cancer. The first-line treatment of metastatic breast cancer in premenopausal women relies on tamoxifen. The development of tamoxifen resistance is not fully understood. In this study, capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector was developed to monitor the changes in lactate and pyruvate levels in supernatant media of three models of developed MCF-7 tamoxifen-resistant cells and correlate these metabolites changes with lactate dehydrogenase genes expression and glucose consumption. The electrophoretic separation was achieved under reversed electroosmotic flow conditions. The linear ranges were 0.15-5 and 0.01-1 mM with a correlation coefficient of 0.9966 and 0.9971 and the limits of detection were 0.01 and 0.02 μM for lactate and pyruvate, respectively. Inter- and intrarun accuracy were in the range of 96.88-105.94% with precision (CV, %) of ≤7.35%. The method was completely validated and the results were in agreement with those obtained using the lactate and glucose assay kits. The results revealed a significant increase in both lactate and pyruvate production in the three tamoxifen-resistant MCF-7 cells models compared to control cells. This increase was correlated with the increase of lactate dehydrogenase genes expression and the increase of glucose consumption.

Abstract
A new MCE method for the determination of oxalic, citric, glycolic, lactic, and 2- and 3-hydroxybutyric acids, indicators of some metabolic and neurological diseases, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was developed. MCE separations were performed on a PMMA microchip with coupled channels at lower pH (5.5) to prevent proteins interference. A double charged counter-ion, BIS-TRIS propane, was very effective in resolving the studied organic acids. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) ranging from 0.1 to 1.6 μM were obtained with the aid of contact conductivity detector implemented directly on the microchip. RSDs for migration time and peak area of organic acids in artificial and CSF samples were <0.8 and <9.7%, respectively. Recoveries of organic acids in untreated CSF samples on the microchip varied from 91 to 104%. Elimination of chloride interference, a major anionic constituent of CSF, has been reached by two approaches: (i) the use of coupled channels microchip in a column switching mode when approximately 97-99% of chloride was removed electrophoretically in the first separation channel and (ii) the implementation of micro-SPE with silver-form resin prior to the MCE analysis, which selectively removed chloride from undeproteinized CSF samples.

Abstract
Metabolic profiling has received increasing recognition as an indispensable complement to genomics and proteomics for probing biological systems and for clinical applications. (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is widely used in the field but is challenged by spectral complexity and overlap. Improved and simple methods that quantitatively profile a large number of metabolites are sought to make further progress. Here, we demonstrate a simple isotope tagging strategy, in which metabolites with carboxyl groups are chemically tagged with (15)N-ethanolamine and detected using a 2D heteronuclear correlation NMR experiment. This method is capable of detecting over 100 metabolites at concentrations as low as a few micromolar in biological samples, both quantitatively and reproducibly. Carboxyl-containing compounds are found in almost all metabolic pathways, and thus this new approach should find a variety of applications.

Abstract
Organic acids in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are potential diagnostic markers for neurological diseases and metabolic disorders. A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the direct analysis, i.e., without any sample preparation, of six organic acids in CSF was developed. A capillary coating consisting of a triple layer of charged polymers (polybrene-dextran sulfate-polybrene) was used in combination with a negative separation voltage, providing fast and efficient analysis of acidic compounds. Separation conditions, such as background electrolyte (BGE) concentration and pH were optimized, and the influence of albumin and sodium chloride was systematically studied using a set of test compounds. With injection volumes of ca. 44 nL, plate numbers of up to ca. 150,000 were obtained with a BGE of 200 mM sodium phosphate (pH 6.0). It appeared that high sodium chloride concentrations in the sample hardly affected the peak width and shape of the organic acids, most probably due to transient isotachophoresis effects occurring in the sample zone. Adverse effects of CSF proteins, which frequently compromise the CE performance, could be effectively minimized by the triple layer coating in combination with rinses of 0.1 M hydrochloric acid. Overall, the developed CE system allowed direct injections of CSF samples, yielding good separation efficiencies and stable migration times (RSDs<2%) for organic acids. Validation of the method with artificial and real CSF samples showed good linear responses (r>0.99), and LODs for the organic acids were in the range of 2-8 microg/mL when applying UV detection. RSDs for migration times and peak areas were <2% and <7%, respectively. The applicability of the CE system is shown for the determination of organic acids in CSF samples.

Abstract
Sepsis causes brain dysfunction. Because neurotransmission requires high ascorbate and low dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA) concentrations in brain extracellular fluid, the effect of septic insult on ascorbate recycling (i.e., uptake and reduction of DHAA) and export was investigated in primary rat and mouse astrocytes. DHAA raised intracellular ascorbate to physiological levels but extracellular ascorbate only slightly. Septic insult by lipopolysaccharide and interferon-gamma increased ascorbate recycling in astrocytes permeabilized with saponin but decreased it in those with intact plasma membrane. The decrease was due to inhibition of the glucose transporter (GLUT1) that translocates DHAA because septic insult slowed uptake of the nonmetabolizable GLUT1 substrate 3-O-methylglucose. Septic insult also abolished stimulation by glutamate of ascorbate export. Specific nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors and nNOS and iNOS deficiency failed to alter the effects of septic insult. Inhibitors of NADPH oxidase generally did not protect against septic insult, because only one of those tested (diphenylene iodonium) increased GLUT1 activity and ascorbate recycling. We conclude that astrocytes take up DHAA and use it to synthesize ascorbate that is exported in response to glutamate. This mechanism may provide the antioxidant on demand to neurons under normal conditions, but it is attenuated after septic insult.

Abstract
This review article addresses the different capillary electrophoretic methods that are being used for the study of both short-chain organic acids (including anionic catecholamine metabolites) and fatty acids in biological samples. This work intends to provide an updated overview (including works published until November 2004) on the recent methodological developments and applications of such procedures together with their main advantages and drawbacks. Moreover, the usefulness of CE analysis of organic acids to study and/or monitor different diseases such as diabetes, new-borns diseases or metabolism disorders is examined. The use of microchip devices and CE-MS couplings for organic acid analysis is also discussed.

Abstract
A capillary zone electrophoresis method was optimised to analyse low-molecular-mass organic acids for the purpose of monitoring diabetes in rat plasma. The method included acetoacetic, 2-hydroxybutyric, lactic and uric acids. A variation in the background electrolyte allowed us to measure pyruvic acid in the same sample. Conditions have been optimised for measuring a large number of plasma samples corresponding to control and diabetic rats. Samples were mixed with acetonitrile (1:1, v/v) to precipitate proteins, centrifuged, diluted and injected. Tropic acid was chosen as an adequate internal standard. Separation was developed with reversed voltage by using a column cartridge pre-treated with polyacrylamide. Two electrophoretic buffers were employed: 0.150 M H3PO4 made up pH 6.20 with NaOH and 0.3 mM CaCl2 for acetoacetic, hydroxybutyric, lactic and uric acids, and 200 mM phosphate-10 mM acetate pH 4.0 for pyruvic acid, both with direct detection at 200 nm. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy and precision and the limits of quantification were calculated. The method was successfully applied to analyse these organic acids in control and diabetic animals. Acetoacetic and hydroxybutyric acids were clearly increased in diabetic rats, meanwhile no statistically significant difference has been found with the other acids.

Abstract
Animal studies have provided substantial evidence for a key role of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide and its related compounds in the complex pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis. However, there is little information on changes in the redox status in human meningitis. In the present study, we evaluated the redox status and oxidative stress in the central nervous system of children with meningitis. Oxidant and antioxidant activities were assessed from cerebrospinal fluid levels of acrolein-lysine adducts (a marker of lipid peroxidation), nitrite (a marker of nitric oxide production) and bilirubin derivatives (a marker of antioxidant activity of bilirubin). All these markers were several times higher in children during the early phase of bacterial meningitis compared with those of children without meningitis and patients with aseptic meningitis. In the bacterial meningitis group, the levels of bilirubin derivatives correlated significantly with those of acrolein-lysine adducts and nitrite. Acrolein-lysine adducts and nitrite decreased significantly as the patients started to respond to treatment but bilirubin derivatives remained elevated. In conclusion, our data indicate the enhancement of both oxidant and antioxidant activities in the central nervous system of children with early bacterial meningitis, but not in those with aseptic meningitis. Clinical and laboratory improvement may be associated with a decrease in oxidant activities in the central nervous system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study reactive nitrogen species-mediated oxidative brain damage and antioxidant defenses in patients with acute bacterial meningitis. METHODS Nitrotyrosine (a widely used marker for the formation of reactive nitrogen species, such as peroxynitrite) and the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal were detected by immunohistochemistry in brain specimens obtained at autopsy. CSF concentrations of nitrotyrosine were quantified by ELISA. CSF and serum concentrations of ascorbic acid, uric acid, and its oxidation product allantoin were determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography. RESULTS Tyrosine nitration was strongly increased during meningitis. It was most evident in inflammatory cells and blood vessels in the subarachnoid space. The same cell types stained positive for the lipid peroxidation marker 4-hydroxynonenal, suggesting that reactive nitrogen species contribute to oxidative brain damage during meningitis. High CSF nitrotyrosine concentrations were associated with an unfavorable outcome according to the Glasgow Outcome Score. In the CSF, the increase of nitrotyrosine was accompanied by a depletion of the antioxidant ascorbic acid and an increased oxidation of the natural peroxynitrite scavenger uric acid to allantoin. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that oxidative stress due to reactive nitrogen species and altered antioxidant defenses are involved in the pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis in humans.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the suitable separation techniques used to analyze drugs or metabolites in complicated sample matrices such as plasma, serum and urine. It sometimes requires only a simple process of sample pretreatment, deproteinization, dilution or extraction for biological fluids, otherwise no pretreatment is necessary. Various metabolic disorders concerning the compounds which possess carboxyl groups such as organic acids have been monitored by CE. Drug metabolism in the body can be monitored by the same technique. Recent publications suggest the feasibility of an automated system for diagnosis based on CE technique.

Abstract
Since its introduction, capillary electrophoresis has diversified, spreading out into different specialized fields covering solutions for almost any analytical questions arising in research laboratories. In the context of clinical chemistry, results must be provided at low costs and in a clinically relevant time frame; however, the attributes which have made capillary electrophoresis such a successful tool in basic research are identical to those attracting clinical laboratories: speed (more efficient, less labor-intensive), low costs (minimal buffer consumption), small sample volume (reduced blood collection volume from patient), increased selectivity (determination of multiple solutes in one run), and versatility (detection of analytes over the wide range of molecular masses and chemical composition). Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that there are still some drawbacks at this stage to be solved in the near future, such as lack of sensitivity for many clinical applications or the constraint to measure in a sequential mode. The aim of this survey is to familiarize clinical chemists, as well as chemists, with a short introduction to capillary electrophoresis, followed by chapters reviewing prominent fields of applications and the latest developments in clinical chemistry.

Abstract
The use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for clinically relevant assays is attractive since it often presents many advantages over contemporary methods. The small-diameter tubing that holds the separation medium has led to the development of multicapillary instruments, and simultaneous sample analysis. Furthermore, CE is compatible with a wide range of detectors, including UV-Vis, fluorescence, laser-induced fluorescence, electrochemistry, mass spectrometry, radiometric, and more recently nuclear magnetic resonance, and laser-induced circular dichroism systems. Selection of an appropriate detector can yield highly specific analyte detection with good mass sensitivity. Another attractive feature of CE is the low consumption of sample and reagents. However, it is paradoxical that this advantage also leads to severe limitation, namely poor concentration sensitivity. Often high analyte concentrations are required in order to have injection of sufficient material for detection. In this regard, a series of devices that are broadly termed 'analyte concentrators' have been developed for analyte preconcentration on-line with the CE capillary. These devices have been used primarily for non-specific analyte preconcentration using packing material of the C18 type. Alternatively, the use of very specific antibody-containing cartridges and enzyme-immobilized microreactors have been demonstrated. In the current report, we review the likely impact of the technology of capillary electrophoresis and the role of the CE analyte concentrator-microreactor on the analysis of biomolecules, present on complex matrices, in a clinical laboratory. Specific examples of the direct analysis of physiologically-derived fluids and microdialysates are presented, and a personal view of the future of CE in the clinical environment is given.

Abstract
The application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the analysis of small molecules in clinical research is growing steadily. Initial studies have dealt with separations of standards or compounds in clean matrices. However, later studies dealt with analysis of those compounds in serum, urine or tissues. Great progress has been accomplished in three areas of clinical interest: organic acids, amino acids and drug analysis. The analysis of these compounds by capillary electrophoresis has several distinct advantages: high resolution, simplicity, versatility and especially low operating costs. In many cases, the sample can be injected directly without complex pretreatment. Most of the described methods have been validated for their precision, linearity and accuracy. In forensic toxicology, the CE has been used for drug identification and as a complementary analytical method.

Abstract
Capillary zone electrophoresis with indirect UV detection was found to be suitable for the determination of organic acids in serum. Serum can be analysed directly without any deproteination in a capillary coated with linear polyacrylamide. With 10 mM epsilon-aminocaproic acid-10 mM mandelic acid (pH 3.8) as the operational electrolyte, anions such as pyruvate, phosphate, citrate, malate, acetoacetate and lactate can be determined in 12 min. In quantitative analysis, the calibration line for lactate is linear over the range 0-10 mM. The detection limit for citrate was 8 microM. The effect of the chloride concentration on the migration times of minor peaks is discussed. The potential of the method was demonstrated by analysing sera from several critically ill children.

Abstract
In this review, tagging techniques with reagents used for ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), fluorescent (FL), chemiluminescent (CL) and electrochemical detection (ED) for higher carboxylic acids in HPLC are evaluated in terms of the tagging reactions, handling, flexibility, stability of the reagents and the corresponding derivatives, sensitivity and selectivity. Emphasis is given to the applications of these tagging techniques to biologically important carboxylic acids of relatively high molecular mass including free fatty acids, prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes etc. Some typical examples are described. Although RIA and GC-MS are powerful techniques for the highly sensitive determination of carboxylic acids, tagging for these techniques is not included in this review because recent progress in tagging methods has been mainly concerned with HPLC detection.
