Abstract
The application of most chemical fixatives, such as formalin, in the anatomic pathology laboratory requires safety training and hazardous chemical monitoring due to the toxicity and health risks associated with their use. Consequently, the use of formalin has been banned in most applications in Europe; the primary exception is its use in the histology laboratory in lieu of a suitable and safer alternative. Glyoxal based solutions, several of which are available commercially, are the most promising alternative fixatives, because they are based on a mechanism of fixation similar to that of formalin. Unlike formalin, however, glyoxal based solutions do not dissociate from water and therefore do not require ventilation measures such as a fume hood. A primary barrier to the adoption of commercially available glyoxal based solutions is their low pH, which can produce undesirable morphological and antigenic tissue alterations; however, a recently available neutral pH glyoxal product (glyoxal acid free) (GAF) has been developed to mitigate the challenges of low pH. We compared the morphology and histochemistry among tissues fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, a commercially available acidic glyoxal product (Prefer), and GAF. Tissues fixed in formalin and Prefer exhibited similar morphology and staining properties; tissues fixed with 2% GAF exhibited deleterious effects.

Abstract
Hardwood kraft lignin from the pulping industry is burned or discarded. Its valorization was conducted by subjecting fractionation, amination with ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, and monoethanolamine, and crosslinking with formaldehyde or glyoxal to obtain bio-based wood adhesives. Acetone-soluble and insoluble hardwood kraft lignin were prepared and subjected to amination and then crosslinking. Fourier transform infrared, 13C NMR, 15N NMR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results revealed successful amination with amide, imine, and ether bonds and crosslinking of all samples. Hardwood kraft lignin aminated with diethylenetriamine/ethylenediamine and crosslinked using glyoxal exhibited excellent results in comparison with samples crosslinked using formaldehyde. Acetone-insoluble hardwood kraft lignin aminated and crosslinked using diethylenetriamine and formaldehyde, respectively, exhibited excellent adhesion strength with plywood, satisfying the requirements of the Korean standards. The amination and crosslinking of industrial waste hardwood kraft lignin constitute a beneficial valorization method.

Abstract
α-Ketoaldehydes play versatile roles in the ubiquitous natural processes of protein glycation. However, leveraging the reactivity of α-ketoaldehydes for biomedical applications has been challenging. Previously, the reactivity of α-ketoaldehydes with guanidine has been harnessed to design probes for labeling Arg residues on proteins in an aqueous medium. Herein, a highly effective, broadly applicable, and operationally simple protocol for stapling native peptides by crosslinking two amino groups through diverse imidazolium linkers with various α-ketoaldehyde reagents is described. The use of hexafluoroisopropanol as a solvent facilitates rapid and clean reactions under mild conditions and enables unique selectivity for Lys over Arg. The naturally occurring GOLD/MOLD linkers have been expanded to encompass a wide range of modified glyoxal-lysine dimer (OLD) linkers. In a proof-of-concept trial, these modular stapling reactions enabled a convenient two-round strategy to streamline the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of the wasp venom peptide anoplin, leading to enhanced biological activities.

Abstract
α-Dicarbonyl compounds, such as glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), are a series of chemical hazards that exist in vivo and in vitro, posing a threat to human health. We aimed to explore the scavenging effects on GO/MGO by synephrine (SYN) alone or in combination with neohesperidin (NEO). First, through LC-MS/MS, we confirmed that both SYN and NEO could effectively remove GO and form GO adducts, while NEO could also clear MGO by forming MGO adducts, and its ability to clear MGO was stronger than that of GO. Second, a synergistic inhibitory effect on GO was found when SYN and NEO were used in combination by using the Chou-Talalay method; on the other hand, SYN could promote NEO to clear more MGO, although SYN could not capture MGO. Third, after synthesizing four GO/MGO-adducts (SYN-GO-1, SYN-GO-3, NEO-GO-7, and NEO-MGO-2) and identifying their structure through NMR, strict correlations between the GO/MGO-adducts and the GO/MGO-clearance rate were found when using SYN and NEO alone or in combination. Furthermore, it was inferred that the synergistic effect between SYN and NEO stems from their mutual promotion in capturing more GO by the quantitative analysis of the adducts in the combined model. Finally, a study was conducted on flowers of Citrus aurantium L. var. amara Engl. (FCAVA, an edible tea) rich in SYN and NEO, which could serve as an effective GO and MGO scavenger in the presence of both GO and MGO. Therefore, our study provided well-defined evidence that SYN and NEO, alone or in combination, could efficiently scavenge GO/MGO at high temperatures, whether in the pure form or located in FCAVA.

Abstract
Glyoxal is a highly reactive aldehyde widely present in common diet and environment and inevitably generated through various metabolic pathways in vivo. Glyoxal is easily produced in diets high in carbohydrates and fats via the Maillard reaction, carbohydrate autoxidation, and lipid peroxidation, etc. This leads to dietary intake being a major source of exogenous exposure. Exposure to glyoxal has been positively associated with a number of metabolic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. It has been demonstrated that polyphenols, probiotics, hydrocolloids, and amino acids can reduce the content of glyoxal in foods via different mechanisms, thus reducing the risk of exogenous exposure to glyoxal and alleviating carbonyl stresses in the human body. This review discussed the formation and metabolism of glyoxal, its health hazards, and the strategies to reduce such health hazards. Future investigation of glyoxal from different perspectives is also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, a new biocomposite magnetic adsorbent (magnetic glyoxal-chitosan Schiff base/organically modified montmorillonite (MCTS-GOX/OMMT)) was synthesized and employed for the adsorption of reactive blue 19 dye (RB19) from aqueous environment. The physicochemical properties of the MCTS-GOX/OMMT were confirmed by using various characterization techniques such as BET, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, VSM, and pHpzc. The adsorption key variables were statistically optimized via Box-Behnken design (BBD) And accordingly the best operational conditions to achieve maximum RB19 removal were recorded at MCTS-GOX/OMMT dosage = 0.1 g/0.1 L, solution pH = 4, and working temperature = 25 °C. The adsorption process for RB19 appeared to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic and the Langmuir isotherm models, according to the findings of the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium investigations. The maximum adsorption capacity of the MCTS-GOX/OMMT towards RB19 was 122.3 mg/g, demonstrating its preferable adsorption capability. The successful development of this novel magnetic bioadsorbent with excellent adsorption ability towards organic dyes and efficient separation ability opens possibilities for its practical application in wastewater treatment and dye removal processes.

Abstract
Herein, a highly efficient and sustainable adsorbent of cross-linked chitosan-glyoxal/algae biocomposite (CHT-GLX/ALG) adsorbent was developed through an innovative hydrothermal cross-linking method. The CHT-GLX/ALG biocomposite was characterized using several complementary analytical methods that include CHN-O, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and pHpzc. This new adsorbent, named CHT-GLX/ALG, was utilized for the adsorption of a cationic dye (methyl violet 2B; MV 2B), from synthetic wastewater. The optimization of the dye adsorption process involved key parameters is listed: CHT-GLX/ALG dosage (from 0.02 to 0.1 g/100 mL), pH (from 4 to 10), and contact time (from 20 to 180 min) that was conducted using the Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal adsorption conditions for the highest decolorization efficiency of MV 2B (97.02 %) were estimated using the statistical model of the Box-Behnken design. These conditions include a fixed adsorbent dosage of 0.099 g/100 mL, pH 9.9, and a 179.9 min contact time. The empirical data of MV 2B adsorption by CHT-GLX/ALG exhibited favorable agreement with the Freundlich isotherm model. The kinetic adsorption profile of MV 2B by CHT-GLX/ALG revealed a good fit with the pseudo-second-order model. The maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for MV 2B by CHT-GLX/ALG was estimated at 110.8 mg/g. The adsorption of MV 2B onto the adsorbent can be attributed to several factors, including electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged surface of CHT-GLX/ALG and the MV 2B cation, as well as n-π and H-bonding. These interactions play a crucial role in facilitating the effective adsorption of MV 2B onto the biocomposite adsorbent. Generally, this study highlights the potential of CHT-GLX/ALG as an efficient and sustainable adsorbent for the effective removal of organic dyes.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO) are toxic α-dicarbonyl compounds that undergo reactions with amine containing molecules such as proteins and amino acids and result in the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This study aimed at investigating the reactivity of arginine (Arg) or dimethylarginine (SDMA or ADMA) with MGO or GO. The solutions of arginine and MGO or GO were prepared in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) and incubated at 37 °C. Direct electrospray ionization-high-resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS) analysis of the reaction mixture of Arg and MGO revealed the formation of Arg-MGO (1:1) and Arg-2MGO (1:2) products and their corresponding dehydrated products. Further liquid chromatography (LC)-MS analyses revealed the presence of isomeric products in each 1:1 and 1:2 product. The [M + H]+ of each isomeric product was subjected to MS/MS experiments for structural elucidation. The MS/MS spectra of some of the products showed a distinct structure indicative fragment ions, while others showed similar data. The types of products formed by the arginines with GO were also found to be similar to that of MGO. The importance of the guanidine group in the formation of the AGEs was reflected in similar incubation experiments with ADMA and SDMA. The structures of the products were proposed based on the comparison of the retention times and HRMS and MS/MS data interpretation, and some of them were confirmed by drawing analogy to the data reported in the literature.

Abstract
The gold-standard fixative for immunohistochemistry is 4% formaldehyde; however, it limits antibody access to target molecules that are buried within specialized neuronal components, such as ionotropic receptors at the postsynapse and voltage-gated ion channels at the axon initial segment, often requiring additional antigen-exposing techniques to detect their authentic signals. To solve this problem, we used glyoxal, a two-carbon atom di-aldehyde. We found that glyoxal fixation greatly improved antibody penetration and immunoreactivity, uncovering signals for buried molecules by conventional immunohistochemical procedures at light and electron microscopic levels. It also enhanced immunosignals of most other molecules, which are known to be detectable in formaldehyde-fixed sections. Furthermore, we unearthed several specific primary antibodies that were once judged to be unusable in formaldehyde-fixed tissues, allowing us to successfully localize so far controversial synaptic adhesion molecule Neuroligin 1. Thus, glyoxal is a highly effective fixative for immunostaining, and a side-by-side comparison of glyoxal and formaldehyde fixation is recommended for routine immunostaining in neuroscience research.

Abstract
Among the highly oxygenated species formed in situ in the atmosphere, α-dicarbonyl compounds are the most reactive species, thus contributing to the formation of secondary organic aerosols that affect both air quality and climate. They are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and are easily transferred to the atmospheric aqueous phase due to their high solubility. In addition, α-dicarbonyl compounds are toxic compounds found in food in biochemistry studies as they can be produced endogenously through various pathways and exogenously through the Maillard reaction. In this work, we take advantage of the high reactivity of α-dicarbonyl compounds in alkaline solutions (intramolecular Cannizzaro reaction) to develop an analytical method based on high performance ion chromatography. This fast and efficient method is suitable for glyoxal, methylglyoxal and phenylglyoxal which are detected as glycolate, lactate and mandelate anions respectively, with 100% conversion at pH > 12 and room temperature for exposure times to hydroxide ranging from 5 min to 4 h. Diacetyl is detected as 2,4-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethyl-5-oxohexanoate due to a base-catalysed aldol reaction that occurs before the Cannizzaro reaction. The analytical method is successfully applied to monitor glyoxal consumption during aqueous phase HO∙-oxidation, an atmospherically relevant reaction using concentrations that can be observed in fog and cloud water. The method also reveals potential analytical artifacts that can occur in the use of ion chromatography for α-hydroxy carboxylates measurements in complex matrices due to α-dicarbonyl conversion during the analysis time. An estimation of the artifact is given for each of the studied α-hydroxy carboxylates. Other polyfunctional and pH-sensitive compounds that are potentially present in environmental samples (such as nitrooxycarbonyls) can also be converted into α-hydroxy carboxylates and/or nitrite ions within the HPIC run. This shows the need for complementary analytical measurements when complex matrices are studied.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of fructo-, inulin-, and galacto-oligosaccharides (FOS, IOS, and GOS) on forming the Maillard reaction products such as browning, α-dicarbonyl compounds, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs). The model solutions at pH 6.8 containing each carbohydrate (mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides) and whey protein were incubated at 50 °C for 8 weeks. In the IOS model, sugars of DP3 or larger were significantly decreased at 4 weeks, whereas at 6 weeks in the FOS model. The residual amount of GOS after 8 weeks was higher than FOS and IOS; however, a large amount of 3-deoxyglucosone was formed compared to the other models. Nε-Carboxymethyllysine (CML) concentrations in oligosaccharide models were about half of those in monosaccharide and lactose models. The highest concentrations of glyoxal- and methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolones 3 (G-H3 and MG-H3) were observed in the IOS model, indicating the involvement of fructose units linked by β-2 → 1 bonds. G-H3 and MG-H3 quantification could be a useful indicator to reflect the modification of an arginine residue by fructose if used acid-hydrolysis for AGE analysis. CML, G-H3, and MG-H3 were considerably formed even in the FOS model, which has no reducing terminal site, suggesting that degradation products of oligosaccharides probably participated in the formation of AGEs.

Abstract
Short-chained α-hydroxycarbonyl compounds such as glycolaldehyde (GA) and its oxidized counterpart glyoxal (GX) are known as potent glycating agents. Here, a novel fluorescent lysine-lysine cross-link 1-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)-3-(5-amino-5-carboxy-pentylamino)pyridinium salt (meta-DLP) was synthesized and its structure unequivocally proven by 1H NMR, 13C-NMR attached proton test, and 2D NMR. Further characterization of chemical properties and mechanistic background was obtained in comparison to the known monovalent protein modification 2-ammonio-6-(3-oxidopyridinium-1-yl)hexanoate (OP-lysine). Identification and quantitation in various sugar incubations with N2-t-Boc-lysine revealed a novel alternative formation pathway for both advanced glycation end products (AGEs) by the interplay of both carbonyl compounds, GA and GX, which was confirmed by isotope labeling experiments. The concentration of pyridinium AGEs was about 1000-fold lower compared to the well-established N6-carboxymethyl lysine. However, pyridinium AGEs were shown to lead to the photosensitized generation of singlet oxygen in irradiation experiments, which was verified by the detection of 3,3'-(naphthalene-1,4-diyl)-dipropionate endoperoxide. Furthermore, meta-DLP was identified in hydrolyzed potato chip proteins by collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry after HPLC enrichment.

Abstract
In this study, formaldehyde-free bioresin adhesives were synthesised from lignin and tannin, which were obtained from softwood bark. The extraction was done via organosolv treatment and hot water extraction, respectively. A non-volatile, non-toxic aldehyde, glyoxal, was used as a substitute for formaldehyde in order to modify the chemical structure of both the lignin and tannin. The glyoxal modification reaction was confirmed by ATR–FTIR spectroscopy. Three different resin formulations were prepared using modified lignin along with the modified tannin. The thermal properties of the modified lignin, tannin, and the bioresins were assessed by DSC and TGA. When the bioresins were cured at a high temperature (200 °C) by compression moulding, they exhibited higher thermal stability as well as an enhanced degree of cross-linking compared to the low temperature-cured bioresins. The thermal properties of the resins were strongly affected by the compositions of the resins as well as the curing temperatures.

Abstract
The mammalian cell nucleus contains different types of membrane-less nuclear bodies (NBs) consisting of proteins and RNAs. Microscopic imaging has been widely applied to study the organization and structure of NBs. However, current fixation methods are not optimized for such imaging: When a fixation method is chosen to maximize the quality of the RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), it often limits the labeling efficiency of proteins or affects the ultrastructure of NBs. Here, we report that addition of glyoxal (GO) into the classical paraformaldehyde (PFA) fixation step not only improves FISH signals for RNAs in NBs via augmented permeability of the fixed nucleus and enhanced accessibility of probes, but also largely preserves protein fluorescent signals during fixation and immunostaining. We also show that GO/PFA fixation enables the covisualization of different types of nuclear bodies with minimal impact on their ultrastructures under super-resolution microscopy.

Abstract
The use of arylglyoxal as starting material in Passerini and Ugi reactions affords β-ketoamides. This has allowed to study keto-enol tautomerism in these systems and assess the way in which the presence of acyloxy or aminoacyl groups bound to the C2 position affects such tautomerism, and to investigate the reactivity of both the enol and carbonyl forms. In this work we also prove the versatility of the Passerini reaction, since depending on the conditions to which the corresponding adducts are subjected different products of synthetic interest can be obtained.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose, which can result in the modification of serum proteins. The modification of a protein by glucose, or glycation, can also lead to the formation of advanced glycated end-products (AGEs). One protein that can be modified through glycation and AGE formation is human serum albumin (HSA). In this study, immunoextraction based on polyclonal anti-HSA antibodies was used with high-performance affinity microcolumns to see how AGE-related modifications produced by glyoxal (Go) and methylglyoxal (MGo) affected the binding of HSA to several first- and second-generation sulfonylureas, a class of drugs used to treat type II diabetes and known to bind to HSA. With this approach, it was possible to use a single platform to examine drug interactions with several preparations of HSA. Each applied protein sample could be used over 20-50 experiments, and global affinity constants for most of the examined drugs could be obtained in less than 7.5 min. The binding constants measured for these drugs with normal HSA gave good agreement with global affinities based on the literature. Both Go- and MGo-related modifications at clinically relevant levels were found by this method to create significant changes in the binding by some sulfonylureas with HSA. The global affinities for many of the drugs increased by 1.4-fold or more; gliclazide and tolazamide had no significant change with some preparations of modified HSA, and a small-to-moderate decrease in binding strength was noted for glibenclamide and gliclazide with Go-modified HSA. This approach can be adapted for the study of other drug-protein interactions and alternative modified proteins by altering the antibodies that are employed for immunoextraction and within the affinity microcolumn.

Abstract
A simple method for extraction of high quality RNA from cells that have been fixed, stained and sorted by flow cytometry would allow routine transcriptome analysis of highly purified cell populations and single cells. However, formaldehyde fixation impairs RNA extraction and inhibits RNA amplification. Here we show that good quality RNA can be readily extracted from stained and sorted mammalian cells if formaldehyde is replaced by glyoxal—a well-characterised fixative that is widely compatible with immunofluorescent staining methods. Although both formaldehyde and glyoxal efficiently form protein-protein crosslinks, glyoxal does not crosslink RNA to proteins nor form stable RNA adducts, ensuring that RNA remains accessible and amenable to enzymatic manipulation after glyoxal fixation. We find that RNA integrity is maintained through glyoxal fixation, permeabilisation with methanol or saponin, indirect immunofluorescent staining and flow sorting. RNA can then be extracted by standard methods and processed into RNA-seq libraries using commercial kits; mRNA abundances measured by poly(A)+ RNA-seq correlate well between freshly harvested cells and fixed, stained and sorted cells. We validate the applicability of this approach to flow cytometry by staining MCF-7 cells for the intracellular G2/M-specific antigen cyclin B1 (CCNB1), and show strong enrichment for G2/M-phase cells based on transcriptomic data. Switching to glyoxal fixation with RNA-compatible staining methods requires only minor adjustments of most existing staining and sorting protocols, and should facilitate routine transcriptomic analysis of sorted cells.

Abstract
2-Acetylthiazole possesses a nutty, cereal-like and popcorn-like aroma and a low odor threshold, and this compound has been identified in some processed foods, while the formation pathway of 2-acetylthiazole has not been clearly elucidated. Here, a model reaction of d-glucose and l-cysteine was constructed to investigate the formation pathway of 2-acetylthiazole. l-Cysteine, d-glucose and the corresponding intermediates, namely, dicarbonyl compounds (DCs), were involved in the formation of 2-acetylthiazole and detected by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), high-performance ion chromatography (HPIC) and HPLC, respectively. The carbon module labeling (CAMOLA) technique revealed that the C-4 and C-5 of 2-acetylthiazole were derived from the carbons of glucose. The potential of glyoxal, which is degraded by glucose, to form 2-acetylthiazole was revealed for the first time. A novel route to form 2-acetylthiazole by the reaction of glyoxal and methylglyoxal produced by d-glucose with H2S and NH3 produced by l-cysteine was proposed.

Abstract
Reactive carbonyl species (RCSs) including one carbon formaldehyde (FA) and dicarbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO) are produced during demethylase reactions and various glucose metabolic pathways respectively. Elevation of the RCSs concentrations in cells is due to abnormal DNA damage, glycation adducts with macromolecules that lead to various neurotoxic diseases. Hence, regular monitoring of these RCSs with an easy tool is of utmost interest. However, conventional methods such as chromatography and mass spectrometry for the detection of these species are not so economically viable. These issues were well addressed by the non-invasive reactivity-based fluorescence techniques. However, tedious synthesis, only specific to either mono aldehyde is limited to detect multiple RCSs in physiologies by synthesized fluorophores. An alternative, simple small molecules are widely applied as commercial biomarkers such as terephthalate and 2,3-diaminonaphthalene (NAP) for hydroxy radical (OH·) and nitric oxide (NO) respectively. Herein, we report an analogue of NAP, 1,8-diamino naphthalene (DAN) is an efficient chemosensor for highly sensitive detection of FA, MGO and GO with minimum detection limits of 0.95-3.97 μM. Surprisingly, DAN shows a "turn on" response towards RCSs but remaining silent towards NO which are exactly opposite to commercial probe NAP. Exogenous RCSs imaging in vitro cancerous cells shows the efficacy of the probe and its potential application for RCSs monitoring in cancer cells, generation of toxic byproducts.

Abstract
A large portion of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) cannot be absorbed in the upper gut and therefore may be further decomposed and utilized by colonic microbiota (CM). This work reported the stability of UV-absorbent MRPs, fluorescent MRPs and peptide-bound N(ε)-(carboxymethyl)-lysine (CML) in high molecular weight (HMW, >10 kDa), medium molecular weight (MMW, 1-10 kDa), and low molecular weight (LMW, <1 kDa) gastrointestinal digests of glyoxal-glycated casein in the presence of CM. Fluorescent MRPs showed high stability, whereas UV-absorbent MRPs may be partially decomposed. A higher depletion rate of CML was found in the LMW fraction (38.7%) than in the MMW (21.7%) and HMW (9.6%) fractions. The 16S rRNA sequencing results revealed both beneficial and detrimental changes in CM composition induced by the glycated fractions. Generation of short-chain and branched-chain fatty acids in fermentation solutions with glycated fractions was significantly suppressed compared with that in fermentation solution with unglycated digests. This work revealed the possible interplay between peptide-bound MRPs and CM.

Abstract
Free amino residues react with α-dicarbonyl compounds (DCs) contributing to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Phenolic compounds can scavenge DCs, thus controlling the dietary carbonyl load. This study showed that high-molecular weight cocoa melanoidins (HMW-COM), HMW bread melanoidins (HMW-BM), and especially HMW coffee melanoidins (HMW-CM) are effective DC scavengers. HMW-CM (1 mg/mL) scavenged more than 40% DCs within 2 h under simulated physiological conditions, suggesting some physiological relevance. Partial acid hydrolysis of HMW-CM decreased the dicarbonyl trapping capacity, demonstrating that the ability to react with glyoxal, methylglyoxal (MGO), and diacetyl was mainly because of polyphenols bound to macromolecules. Caffeic acid (CA) and 3-caffeoylquinic acid showed a DC-scavenging kinetic profile similar to that of HMW-CM, while mass spectrometry data confirmed that hydroxyalkylation and aromatic substitution reactions led to the formation of a stable adduct between CA and MGO. These findings corroborated the idea that antioxidant-rich indigestible materials could limit carbonyl stress and AGE formation across the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Food-derived glycated phospholipids is potentially hazardous to human health. However, there are few studies on the effects of lipids on the formation of glycated phospholipids. In this work, two model systems were established: (1) a model system including 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (PE), glucose, and Fenton reagent and (2) a model system including PE, glucose, and five kind of vegetable oils. The contents of carboxymethyl-PE, carboxyethyl-PE, Amadori-PE, hydroxyl radical (OH•), glyoxal, and methylglyoxal were determined with high-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. The results of the first model system showed that OH• oxidized glucose to produce glyoxal and methylglyoxal, which then reacted with PE to form carboxymethyl-PE and carboxyethyl-PE. OH• also oxidized Amadori-PE to form carboxymethyl-PE. The results of the second model system showed that vegetable oils with higher number of moles of carbon-carbon unsaturated double bond in vegetable oil per kilogram could produce more OH•, which promote the formation of carboxymethyl-PE and carboxyethyl-PE by oxidizing glucose and oil. We elucidated the effects of oils on the formation of glycated phospholipids in terms of OH• and intermediates. This work will contribute to better understanding the formation mechanism of glycated phospholipids with oil.

Abstract
α-Dicarbonyls are reactive intermediates formed during Maillard reactions and carbohydrate degradation. The formation of seven α-dicarbonyls was characterized in solutions containing dairy related carbohydrates (galactose, glucose, lactose, and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)) during incubations at 40 and 50 °C with and without Nα-acetyl-l-lysine at pH 6.8 for up to 2 months. The concentrations of α-dicarbonyls in samples of monosaccharides with Nα-acetyl-l-lysine were found to be 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) > 3-deoxygalactosone (3-DGal) > glyoxal > glucosone, galactosone > methylglyoxal > diacetyl. The presence of Nα-acetyl-l-lysine resulted in up to 100-fold higher concentrations of C6 α-dicarbonyls but lesser formation of glyoxal in the monosaccharide-containing models compared to what was observed in the absence of Nα-acetyl-l-lysine. Galactose incubated with Nα-acetyl-l-lysine generated the highest concentrations of 3-DGal (up to 130 μM), glyoxal (up to 100 μM), and methylglyoxal (up to 9 μM) compared to the other carbohydrates during incubation. Surprisingly, 3-DG (1500 μM) and 3-DGal (80 μM) were formed at levels of 2 orders of magnitude higher in solutions of GOS in the absence of Nα-acetyl-l-lysine as compared to the other carbohydrates at 40 °C, while GOS generated the lowest levels of glyoxal. GOS are widely used as an ingredient in various types of foods products, and it is therefore of importance to consider the risk of generating high levels of the reactive C6 α-dicarbonyl, 3-DG, in these types of products. This study contributes to the understanding of major α-dicarbonyl formation as affected by the presence of primary amines in GOS-, lactose-, and galactose-containing solutions under moderate heating in liquid foods.

Abstract
Blood sampling by the dried blood spot (DBS) technique has become commonly applied in newborn screening. It is often used for analysis of small molecules, such as metabolites. Recently, DBS sampling has been applied for quantification of post-translational protein modifications. Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are two simple oxoaldehydes released from glycated proteins in the Maillard reaction. They are widely distributed in the environment (e.g. cigarette smoke) and found in foods and beverages. Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are shown to react with biomolecules including DNA and proteins. In this laboratory, we previously identified the sites of modification by these two oxoaldehydes in human hemoglobin and found that the extents of modification at certain sites of lysine and arginine residues are significantly higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients than in nondiabetic individuals. In this study, we examine the stability of these modifications of hemoglobin stored on DBS cards at room temperature or 4 °C in the ambient air. After hemoglobin was extracted from the DBS cards, it was digested by trypsin and analyzed by nanoflow liquid chromatography coupled with nanospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The results show that the extents of all these PTMs are stable within 14 and 21 days when stored on DBS at room temperature and at 4 °C, respectively. Extraction of globin from DBS cards is mostly advantageous for hemolytic blood samples. This assay is sensitive as only a quarter of a DBS card containing ca. 12 μL of blood is required. Thus, it is practically useful to measure the extents of glyoxal- and methylglyoxal-induced hemoglobin modifications from DBS cards.

Abstract
Highly reactive intermediates of the Maillard reaction, such as glycolaldehyde and glyoxal, are precursors in the modification and cross-linking of proteins. Therefore, we investigated ribonuclease A modified by glycolaldehyde and glyoxal, separately. For the first time, various protein species derived by these aldehydes were successfully separated by ion-exchange chromatography and gel permeation chromatography. Highly cross-linked ribonuclease A was obtained in glycolaldehyde incubations. In contrast, glyoxal predominantly led to modified monomeric protein species. These results were verified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing. Quantitation of mono- and bivalent protein modifications of the isolated protein species led to a positive correlation between the degree of protein modification and the change of the isoelectric point and molecular weight, respectively. Glycolaldehyde is easily oxidized to glyoxal. However, significantly lower levels of bivalent glyoxal modifications were detected in glycolaldehyde versus glyoxal incubations (glyoxal-lysine dimer, 1.58 ± 0.02 versus 2.86 ± 0.04 mmol/mol of phenylalanine; glyoxal-lysine amide, 2.7 ± 0.1 versus 5.6 ± 0.1 mmol/mol of phenylalanine). In addition, a novel glycolaldehyde-specific lysine-lysine cross-link was identified and putatively assigned as 1-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl)-4-(5-amino-5-carboxypentyl-amino)pyridinium salt.

Abstract
RATIONALE Methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO) are known to be at high levels in humans with diabetes. They react with amine-containing proteins and amino acids to form advanced glycation end products, however, their reactivity with other amine-containing metabolites, such as neurotransmitters, has not been explored. In this study, we aimed at studying the reactivity of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) with MGO or GO, which may alter the metabolic function of 5-HT. METHODS Stock solutions of 5-HT, MGO and GO were made in PBS buffer at pH 7.4 and 5-HT was incubated with MGO or GO at different concentrations. The reactions were also performed at physiological concentrations. The reaction mixtures collected at different incubation times were analyzed by direct ESI-HRMS, LC/MS and LC/MS/MS to detect/characterize the products. Agilent 6545 Q-TOF and Agilent 6420 triple quadrupole mass spectrometers were used for the study, and LC separations were performed on a C18 column. RESULTS The direct ESI-HRMS data of the reaction mixtures showed formation of three and four reaction products when 5-HT was reacted with MGO and GO, respectively. All the products showed dominant [M + H]+ ions. The products were characterized by HRMS, LC/MS/MS and literature reports on similar compounds. The products can easily be identified by LC/MS based on the accurate mass values together with retention time information. The MS/MS of the reaction products showed structure-indicative fragment ions. CONCLUSIONS 5-HT reacts with one or two MGO/GO to form a set of reaction products. The reaction between 5-HT and MGO or GO was faster at higher concentrations of MGO/GO (<10 min), and the same products were found even at physiological concentrations (<48 h). The LC/MS/MS (SRM) method can be used to screen the reaction products when present at low levels.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO) are attracting considerable attention because of their role in the onset of diabetes symptoms. Therefore, to comprehend the molecular fundamentals of their pathological actions is of the utmost importance. In this study, the molecular interactions between resveratrol (RES) and human serum albumin (HSA) and the ability of the stilbene to counteract the oxidative damage caused by pathological concentrations of MGO and GO to the human plasma protein, was assessed. The oxidation of Cys34 in HSA as well as the formation of specific protein semialdehydes AAS (α-aminoadipic), GGS (γ-glutamic) and the accumulation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) was investigated. Resveratrol was found to neutralize both α-dicarbonyls by forming adducts detected by HESI-Orbitrap-MS. This antioxidant action was manifested in a significant reduction of AGEs. However, RES-α-dicarbonyl conjugates oxidized Cys34 and lysine, arginine and/or proline by a nucleophilic attack on SH and ε-NH groups in HSA. The formation of specific semialdehydes in HSA after incubation with GO and MGO at pathological concentrations was reported for the first time in this study, and may be used as early and specific biomarkers of the oxidative stress undergone by diabetic patients. The pro-oxidative role of the RES-α-dicarbonyl conjugates should be further investigated to clarify whether this action leads to positive or harmful clinical consequences. The biological relevance of human protein carbonylation as a redox signaling mechanism and/or as a reflection of oxidative damage and disease should also be studied in future works.

Abstract
Proteins continually undergo spontaneous oxidation reactions, which lead to changes in structure and function. The quantitative assessment of protein oxidation adducts provides information on the level of exposure to reactive precursor compounds with a high oxidizing potential and reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present work, we introduce N6-(2-hydroxyethyl)lysine as a novel marker based on the ratio of glycolaldehyde and its oxidized form glyoxal. The high analytical potential was proven with a first set of patients undergoing hemodialysis versus healthy controls, in comparison with well-established parameters for oxidative stress. In vitro experiments with N1- t-BOC-lysine and N1- t-BOC-arginine enlightened the mechanistic relationship of glycolaldehyde and glyoxal. Oxidation was strongly dependent on the catalytic action of the ε-amino moiety of lysine. Investigations on the formation of N6-carboxymethyl lysine revealed glycolaldehyde-imine as the more reactive precursor, even though an additional oxidative step is required. As a result, a novel and very effective alternative mechanism was unraveled.

Abstract
Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is the most commonly used fixative for immunostaining of cells, but has been associated with various problems, ranging from loss of antigenicity to changes in morphology during fixation. We show here that the small dialdehyde glyoxal can successfully replace PFA Despite being less toxic than PFA, and, as most aldehydes, likely usable as a fixative, glyoxal has not yet been systematically tried in modern fluorescence microscopy. Here, we tested and optimized glyoxal fixation and surprisingly found it to be more efficient than PFA-based protocols. Glyoxal acted faster than PFA, cross-linked proteins more effectively, and improved the preservation of cellular morphology. We validated glyoxal fixation in multiple laboratories against different PFA-based protocols and confirmed that it enabled better immunostainings for a majority of the targets. Our data therefore support that glyoxal can be a valuable alternative to PFA for immunostaining.

Abstract
Elucidation of the folded structures that RNA forms in vivo is vital to understanding its functions. Chemical reagents that modify the Watson-Crick (WC) face of unprotected nucleobases are particularly useful in structure elucidation. Dimethyl sulfate penetrates cell membranes and informs on RNA base-pairing and secondary structure but only modifies the WC face of adenines and cytosines. We present glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and phenylglyoxal as potent in vivo reagents that target the WC face of guanines as well as cytosines and adenines. Tests on rice (Oryza sativa) 5.8S rRNA in vitro read out by reverse transcription and gel electrophoresis demonstrate specific modification of almost all guanines in a time- and pH-dependent manner. Subsequent in vivo tests on rice, a eukaryote, and Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, respectively, showed that all three reagents enter living cells without prior membrane permeabilization or pH adjustment of the surrounding media and specifically modify solvent-exposed guanine, cytosine, and adenine residues.

Abstract
Short-chained carbonyl species such as glycolaldehyde and its oxidized pendant glyoxal are highly reactive Maillard agents, leading to the formation of protein modifications. These advanced glycation endproducts have gained considerable interest as they have been linked to various pathologies in vivo. The ability of transketolase to use glycolaldehyde as a substrate suggested the possibility to modulate carbonyl-driven Maillard reactions. Model incubations with recombinant transketolase A from Escherichia coli in the presence of bovine serum albumin and glycolaldehyde indeed led to a decrease in glycolaldehyde concentrations paralleled by the enzymatic conversion to erythrulose. As a result, reversibly protein-bound glycolaldehyde and the major final endproduct N6-carboxymethyl lysine were significantly reduced by approximately 50%, respectively. Glycolaldehyde is easily oxidized to glyoxal in the presence of amines and oxygen. In the presence of transketolase, the lower amounts of glycolaldehyde therefore also strongly suppressed the formation of glyoxal specific arginine modifications, measured as 5-(2-imino-5-oxo-1-imidazolidinyl)norvaline after acid hydrolysis.

Abstract
Tissue fixation in phosphate buffered formalin (PBF) remains the standard procedure in histopathology, since it results in an optimal structural, antigenic and molecular preservation that justifies the pivotal role presently played by diagnoses on PBF-fixed tissues in precision medicine. However, toxicity of formaldehyde causes an environmental concern and may demand substitution of this reagent. Having observed that the reported drawbacks of commercially available glyoxal substitutes of PBF (Prefer, Glyo-fix, Histo-Fix, Histo-CHOICE, and Safe-Fix II) are likely related to their acidity, we have devised a neutral fixative, obtained by removing acids from the dialdehyde glyoxal with an ion-exchange resin. The resulting glyoxal acid-free (GAF) fixative has been tested in a cohort of 30 specimens including colon (N = 25) and stomach (N = 5) cancers. Our results show that GAF fixation produces a tissue and cellular preservation similar to that produced by PBF. Comparable immuno-histochemical and molecular (DNA and RNA) analytical data were obtained. We observed a significant enrichment of longer DNA fragment size in GAF-fixed compared to PBF-fixed samples. Adoption of GAF as a non-toxic histological fixative of choice would require a process of validation, but the present data suggest that it represents a reliable candidate.

Abstract
This work reports the influence of glyoxal (GO)-derived glycation on the gastrointestinal enzymatic hydrolysis of β-lactoglobulin and β-casein. Reduced digestibility of glycated proteins was found in both gastric and intestinal stage. Distribution of Maillard reaction products in digests with different molecular weight ranges was investigated subsequently. The colorless and brown MRPs largely presented in the digests smaller than 20 kDa. However, the resistance of fluorescent advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to enzymatic hydrolysis gradually increased during glycation, rendering fluorescent AGEs largely present in the digests larger than 20 kDa. No free N (ε)-carboxymethyllysine (CML) was detected in digests. The relative amount of CML in digests larger than 1 kDa was higher than that of Lys, demonstrating the hindrance of CML to enzymatic hydrolysis. This study highlights the resistance of GO-derived AGEs to digestive proteases via blockage of tryptic cleavage sites or steric hindrance, which is a barrier to the absorption of dietary AGEs.

Abstract
Isoprene epoxydiol (IEPOX), glyoxal, and methylglyoxal are ubiquitous water-soluble organic gases (WSOGs) that partition to aerosol liquid water (ALW) and clouds to form aqueous secondary organic aerosol (aqSOA). Recent laboratory-derived Setschenow (or salting) coefficients suggest glyoxal's potential to form aqSOA is enhanced by high aerosol salt molality, or "salting-in". In the southeastern U.S., aqSOA is responsible for a significant fraction of ambient organic aerosol, and correlates with sulfate mass. However, the mechanistic explanation for this correlation remains elusive, and an assessment of the importance of different WSOGs to aqSOA is currently missing. We employ EPA's CMAQ model to the continental U.S. during the Southern Oxidant and Aerosol Study (SOAS) to compare the potential of glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and IEPOX to partition to ALW, as the initial step toward aqSOA formation. Among these three studied compounds, IEPOX is a dominant contributor, ∼72% on average in the continental U.S., to potential aqSOA mass due to Henry's Law constants and molecular weights. Glyoxal contributes significantly, and application of the Setschenow coefficient leads to a greater than 3-fold model domain average increase in glyoxal's aqSOA mass potential. Methylglyoxal is predicted to be a minor contributor. Acid or ammonium - catalyzed ring-opening IEPOX chemistry as well as sulfate-driven ALW and the associated molality may explain positive correlations between SOA and sulfate during SOAS and illustrate ways in which anthropogenic sulfate could regulate biogenic aqSOA formation, ways not presently included in atmospheric models but relevant to development of effective control strategies.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has identified α-dicarbonyl compounds, the reactive intermediates generated during Maillard reaction, as the potential factors to cause protein glycation and the development of chronic diseases. Therefore, there is an urgent need to decrease the levels of reactive dicarbonyl compounds in foods. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of quercetin, a major dietary flavonoid, and its major mono- and di-MGO adducts on the formation of dicarbonyl compounds, such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO), in a lysine/glucose aqueous system, a model system to reflect the Maillard reaction in food process. Our result indicated that quercetin could efficiently inhibit the formation of MGO and GO in a time-dependent manner. Further mechanistic study was conducted by monitoring the formation of quercetin oxidation and conjugation products using LC-MS/MS. Quercetin MGO adducts, quercetin quinones, and the quinones of quercetin MGO adducts were detected in the system, indicating quercetin plays a dual role in inhibiting the formation of MGO and GO by scavenging free radicals generated in the system and trapping of MGO and GO to form MGO adducts. In addition, we prepared the mono- and di-MGO quercetin adducts and investigated their antioxidant activity and trapping capacity of MGO and GO. Our results indicated that both mono- and di-MGO quercetin adducts could scavenge the DPPH radical in a dose-dependent manner with >40% DPPH scavenged by the MGO adducts at 10 μM, and the di-MGO quercetin adduct could further trap MGO to generate tri-MGO adducts. Therefore, we demonstrate for the first time that quercetin MGO adducts retain the antioxidant activity and trapping capacity of reactive dicarbonyl species.

Abstract
The role of metal (especially) iron ions has been postulated to play a prominent role in protein glycation, suggesting antiglycating effectiveness of metal chelators. However, this rule may not apply to all model glycation systems. We found that metal chelators are not effective in prevention of glycation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in vitro, and there is no correlation between the antiglycating effects of 32 compounds and their iron chelation activity as measured with the ferrozine test. These data indicate that the glycation of BSA in vitro is iron-independent and is not a proper system to study the role of metals in protein glycation.

Abstract
After suspensions of micellar casein or nonmicellar sodium caseinate had been heated, respectively, in the presence and absence of glucose for 0-4 h at 100 °C, glycation compounds were quantitated. The formation of Amadori products as indicators for the "early" Maillard reaction were in the same range for both micellar and nonmicellar caseins, indicating that reactive amino acid side chains within the micelles are accessible for glucose in a comparable way as in nonmicellar casein. Significant differences, however, were observed concerning the formation of the advanced glycation end products (AGEs), namely, N(ε)-carboxymethyllysine (CML), pyrraline, pentosidine, and glyoxal-lysine dimer (GOLD). CML could be observerd in higher amounts in nonmicellar casein, whereas in the micelles the pyrraline formation was increased. Pentosidine and GOLD were formed in comparable amounts. Furthermore, the extent of protein cross-linking was significantly higher in the glycated casein micelles than in the nonmicellar casein samples. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy showed that glycation has no influence on the size of the casein micelles, indicating that cross-linking occurs only in the interior of the micelles, but altered the surface morphology. Studies on glycation and nonenzymatic cross-linking can contribute to the understanding of the structure of casein micelles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical evidence supports the relationship between carbonyl stress and type II diabetes and its related pathologies. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the major dicarbonyl compound involved in carbonyl stress. Efforts are therefore being made to find dietary compounds from natural sources that could exert an MGO trapping response. RESULTS The in vitro MGO trapping capacity of six red and seven white grape skin extracts (GSE) obtained from winemaking by-products was investigated. Methanolic GSE exhibited a promising MGO trapping capacity that was higher in red GSE (IC50 2.8 mg mL(-1)) when compared with white GSE (IC50 3.2 mg mL(-1)). The trapping ability for red GSE correlated significantly with total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity. However, no correlations were observed for white GSE, which suggests that other compounds were involved in the trapping activity. CONCLUSION GSE may be considered a natural source of carbonyl stress inhibitors, thus opening up its possible utilization as a nutraceutical ingredient. Further investigations are required to understand the mechanism involved in the carbonyl trapping ability of red and white grape skin samples and their relationship with glycation.

Abstract
A new kind of glyoxal-urea-formaldehyde molecularly imprinted resin (GUF-MIR) was synthesized by a glyoxal-urea-formaldehyde (GUF) gel imprinting method with 4,4'-dichlorobenzhydrol as a dummy template. The obtained GUF-MIR was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and applied as a selective adsorbent of miniaturized pipet tip solid-phase extraction (PT-SPE) for the separation and extraction of three organochlorine pesticides (dicofol (DCF), dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethane (DDD), and tetradifon) in spinach samples. The proposed pretreatment procedures of spinach samples involved only 5.0 mg of GUF-MIR, 0.7 mL of MeOH-H2O (1:1, v/v) (washing solvent), and 0.6 mL of cyclohexane-ethyl acetate (9:1, v/v) (elution solvent). In comparison with other adsorbents (such as silica gel, C18, NH2-silica gel, and neutral alumina (Al2O3-N)), GUF-MIR showed higher adsorption and purification capacity for DCF, DDD, and tetradifon in aqueous solution. The average recoveries at three spiked levels ranged from 89.1% to 101.9% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤ 7.1% (n = 3). The presented GUF-MIR-PT-SPE method combines the advantages of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), GUF, and PT-SPE and can be used in polar solutions with high affinity and selectivity to the analytes in complex samples.

Abstract
Knowledge about Setschenow salting constants, KS, the exponential dependence of Henry's Law coefficients on salt concentration, is of particular importance to predict secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation from soluble species in atmospheric waters with high salt concentrations, such as aerosols. We have measured KS of glyoxal and methylglyoxal for the atmospherically relevant salts (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3, NaNO3, and NaCl and find that glyoxal consistently "salts-in" (KS of -0.16, -0.06, -0.065, -0.1 molality(-1), respectively) while methylglyoxal "salts-out" (KS of +0.16, +0.075, +0.02, +0.06 molality(-1)). We show that KS values for different salts are additive and present an equation for use in atmospheric models. Additionally, we have performed a series of quantum chemical calculations to determine the interactions between glyoxal/methylglyoxal monohydrate with Cl(-), NO3(-), SO4(2-), Na(+), and NH4(+) and find Gibbs free energies of water displacement of -10.9, -22.0, -22.9, 2.09, and 1.2 kJ/mol for glyoxal monohydrate and -3.1, -10.3, -7.91, 6.11, and 1.6 kJ/mol for methylglyoxal monohydrate with uncertainties of 8 kJ/mol. The quantum chemical calculations support that SO4(2-), NO3(-), and Cl(-) modify partitioning, while cations do not. Other factors such as ion charge or partitioning volume effects likely need to be considered to fully explain salting effects.

Abstract
Bioactive aldehydes are among main factors of proteins postsynthetic modifications, which are the cause and consequence of many diseases. Comparative study of some aldehydes modifying action on gelatin was carried out in vitro. Gelatin samples (20 mM) were incubated with: ribose, deoxyribose, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, formaldehyde, acrolein (20 mM each) and their combinations in 0.1 M Naphosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.02% sodium azide at 37 °C in the dark for 30 days. We investigated the fluorescent properties of these samples and their molecular weight distribution by electrophoresis. It has been revealed that formed adducts had different fluorescence spectra. According to fluorescence intensity these aldehydes were put in order: formaldehyde < methylglyoxal < acrolein <ribose < deoxyribose < glyoxal. The electrophoresis results showed fragments of gelatin molecular weight redistribution. By this index, the aldehydes rating was as follows: ribose < deoxyribose < acrolein < glyoxal < formaldehyde < methylglyoxal. Comparison of these two ratings indicates that aldehydes with a lower ability to form fluorescent adducts have higher ability to form intermolecular crosslinks. Therefore, the traditional clinical fluorescent test of a patients' skin surface for collagen crosslinks determination has to be verified by other tests for proteins postsynthetic modifications.

Abstract
The rate constant for the reaction of the hydrated glyoxyl radical (CH(OH)2-C(OH)2(·) with O2 has been determined as k(298) K = (1.2 ± 0.3) × 10(9) L mol(-1) s(-1) at pH 4.8. This experimental value is considerably higher than a widely used estimated value of about k = 1 × 10(6) L mol(-1) s(-1). As the aqueous phase conversion of glyoxal is of wide interest for aqSOA formation, we suggest that the newly determined rate constant should be applied in multiphase models. The formation of the dimerization product tartaric acid has as well been studied. This product is found, however in significant yields only when the oxygen content of the solution is reduced. The formation of dimers from the recombination of alkyl radicals in the atmospheric aqueous phase should hence be treated with great care. Finally, the reactions of the free radicals OH, NO3, and SO4(-) with glyoxal have been investigated and rate constants of k(298) K (OH) = (9.2 ± 0.5) × 10(8) L mol(-1) s(-1), k(298) K (SO4(-)) = (2.4 ± 0.2) × 10(7) L mol(-1) s(-1) and k(298) K (NO3) = (4.5 ± 0.3) × 10(6) L mol(-1) s(-1) were obtained.

Abstract
Methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO) not only are endogenous metabolites but also exist in exogenous resources, such as foods, beverages, urban atmosphere, and cigarette smoke. They have been identified as reactive dicarbonyl precursors of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which have been associated with diabetes-related long-term complications. In this study, quercetin, a natural flavonol found in fruits, vegetables, leaves, and grains, could effectively inhibit the formation of AGEs in a dose-dependent manner via trapping reactive dicarbonyl compounds. More than 50.5% of GO and 80.1% of MGO were trapped at the same time by quercetin within 1 h under physiological conditions. Quercetin and MGO (or GO) were combined at different ratios, and the products generated from this reaction were analyzed with LC-MS. Both mono-MGO and di-MGO adducts of quercetin were detected in this assay using LC-MS, but only tiny amounts of mono-GO adducts of quercetin were found. Additionally, di-MGO adducts were observed as the dominant product with prolonged incubation time. In the bovine serum albumin (BSA)-MGO/GO system, quercetin traps MGO and GO directly and then significantly inhibits the formation of AGEs.

Abstract
Reactions of carbonyl compounds in cloudwater produce organic aerosol mass through in-cloud oxidation and during postcloud evaporation. In this work, postcloud evaporation was simulated in laboratory experiments on evaporating droplets that contain mixtures of common atmospheric aldehydes with ammonium sulfate (AS), methylamine, or glycine. Aerosol diameters were measured during monodisperse droplet drying experiments and during polydisperse droplet equilibration experiments at 75% relative humidity, and condensed-phase mass was measured in bulk thermogravimetric experiments. The evaporation of water from a droplet was found to trigger aldehyde reactions that increased residual particle volumes by a similar extent in room-temperature experiments, regardless of whether AS, methylamine, or glycine was present. The production of organic aerosol volume was highest from droplets containing glyoxal, followed by similar production from methylglyoxal or hydroxyacetone. Significant organic aerosol production was observed for glycolaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and formaldehyde only at elevated temperatures in thermogravimetric experiments. In many experiments, the amount of aerosol produced was greater than the sum of all solutes plus nonvolatile solvent impurities, indicating the additional presence of trapped water, likely caused by increasing aerosol-phase viscosity due to oligomer formation.

Abstract
Glyoxal-derived advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are formed in physiological systems affecting protein/peptide function and structure. These AGEs are generated during aging and chronic diseases such as diabetes and are considered arginine glycating agents. Thus, the study of glyoxal-derived AGEs in lysine residues and amino acid competition is addressed here using acetylated and non-acetylated undecapeptides, with one arginine and one lysine residue available for glycation. Tandem mass spectrometry results from a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer showed glycated species at both the arginine and lysine residues. One species with the mass addition of 116.01096 Da is formed at the arginine residue. A possible structure is proposed to explain this finding (Nδ-[2-(dihydroxymethyl)-2H,3aH,4H,6aH-[1,3]dioxolo[5,6-d]imidazolin-5-yl]-L-ornithine-derived AGE). The second species corresponded to intramolecular crosslink involving the lysine residue and its presence is checked with ion-mobility mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Ozonated secondary effluents (SEs) from municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWTPs) have been found to cause developmental retardation of fish embryos. This study explored the potential cause of the embryo toxicity formed in ozonated SEs by exposing Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) (d-rR) embryos to ozonated SE from a MWTP in Tianjin, China. The increase of ozone dose from 0.26 to 0.96 mg O3/mg DOC0 (consumed ozone per initial DOC), which produced total aldehyde (mixture of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and glyoxal) from 41.5 to 114.7 μg/L, resulted in an increase in the percentage of deformed larvae from 2.2% to 24.1%. Increases in larval deformity and embryo mortality were also observed in ozonated SEs from other MWTPs. The exposure experiment using the mixture aldehyde solution showed that the production of aldehydes could explain approximately 13.6% of larval deformity caused by ozonation of SEs. Pilot experimental results in Tianjin and Beijing, China showed that biofiltration as a post-treatment technology was effective in removing the aldehydes as well as reducing embryo toxicity caused by ozonation.

Abstract
The ability of human serum albumin to capture unbound copper under different clinical conditions is an important variable potentially affecting homeostasis of this element. Here, we propose a simple procedure based on size-exclusion chromatography with on-line UV and nitrogen microwave-plasma atomic-emission spectrometry (MP-AES) for quantitative evaluation of Cu(II) binding to HSA upon its glycation in vitro. The Cu-to-protein molar ratio for non-glycated albumin was 0.98 ± 0.09; for HSA modified with glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), oxoacetic acid (GA), and glucose (Glc), the ratios were 1.30 ± 0.22, 0.72 ± 0.14, 0.50 ± 0.06, and 0.95 ± 0.12, respectively. The results were confirmed by using ICP-MS as an alternative detection system. A reduced ability of glycated protein to coordinate Cu(II) was associated with alteration of the N-terminal metal-binding site during incubation with MGO and GA. In contrast, glycation with GO seemed to generate new binding sites as a result of tertiary structural changes in HSA. Capillary reversed-phase liquid chromatography with electrospray-ionization quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry enabled detection and identification of Cu(II) coordinated to the N-terminal metal-binding site (Cu(II)-DAHK) in all tryptic digests analyzed. This is the first report confirming Cu(II)-DAHK species in HSA by means of high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, and the first report on the use of MP-AES in combination with chromatographic separation.

Abstract
The reactive uptake of glyoxal by atmospheric aerosols is believed to be a significant source of secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Several recent laboratory studies have been performed with the goal of characterizing this process, but questions remain regarding the effects of photochemistry on SOA growth. We applied GAMMA (McNeill et al. Environ. Sci. Technol. 2012, 46, 8075-8081), a photochemical box model with coupled gas-phase and detailed aqueous aerosol-phase chemistry, to simulate aerosol chamber studies of SOA formation by the uptake of glyoxal by wet aerosol under dark and irradiated conditions (Kroll et al. J. Geophys. Res. 2005, 110 (D23), 1-10; Volkamer et al. Atmos. Chem. Phys. 2009, 9, 1907-1928; Galloway et al. Atmos. Chem. Phys. 2009, 9, 3331- 306 3345 and Geophys. Res. Lett. 2011, 38, L17811). We find close agreement between simulated SOA growth and the results of experiments conducted under dark conditions using values of the effective Henry's Law constant of 1.3-5.5 × 10(7) M atm(-1). While irradiated conditions led to the production of some organic acids, organosulfates, and other oxidation products via well-established photochemical mechanisms, these additional product species contribute negligible aerosol mass compared to the dark uptake of glyoxal. Simulated results for irradiated experiments therefore fell short of the reported SOA mass yield by up to 92%. This suggests a significant light-dependent SOA formation mechanism that is not currently accounted for by known bulk photochemistry, consistent with recent laboratory observations of SOA production via photosensitizer chemistry.

Abstract
Non-enzymatic modification of proteins in hyperglycemia is a major proposed mechanism of diabetic complications. Specifically, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) derived from hyperglycemia-induced reactive carbonyl species (RCS) can have pathogenic consequences when they target functionally critical protein residues. Modification of a small number of these critical residues, often undetectable by the methodologies relying on measurements of total AGE levels, can cause significant functional damage. Therefore, detection of specific sites of protein damage in diabetes is central to understanding the molecular basis of diabetic complications and for identification of biomarkers which are mechanistically linked to the disease. The current paradigm of RCS-derived protein damage places a major focus on methylglyoxal (MGO), an intermediate of cellular glycolysis. We propose that glyoxal (GO) is a major contributor to extracellular matrix (ECM) damage in diabetes. Here, we review the current knowledge and provide new data about GO-derived site-specific ECM modification in experimental diabetes.

Abstract
Protein's postsynthetic modifications are a cause and a consequence of many diseases. Endogenous aldehydes are one of the main factors of these modifications formation. The human albumin's modification under some aldehydes influence in in vitro experiment has been investigated. Human albumin (20 mM) was incubated with following aldehydes: ribose, glyoxal, methylglyoxal and formaldehyde (20 mM each) and their combinations in 0.1 M Na-phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) with 0.02% sodium azide at 37 degrees C in the dark for up to 30 days. We have determined the fluorescent properties of the samples, the content of protein's carbonyl groups and the redistribution of protein's molecular weight. The following ratings of aldehydes from the lowest to the highest effect have been obtained. Fluorescent albumin adducts formation: formaldehyde, methylglyoxal, ribose, glyoxal; carbonylation of the protein: ribose, formaldehyde, glyoxal, methylglyoxal; polymerization of albumin--the formation of intermolecular crosslinks: ribose, methylglyoxal, glyoxal, formaldehyde. The results indicate that these aldehydes have different capability for protein's modifications. For example, formaldehyde, having the lowest ability to form fluorescent adducts, shows the highest ability to form protein's intermolecular crosslinks. Therefore, methods and parameters in order to evaluate the protein postsynthetic modification intensity have to be chosen correctly according to carbonyl stress peculiarity in order to evaluate the protein's postsynthetic modification intensity.
