    Abstract The analysis of complex mixtures is becoming increasingly important in various fields, such as nutrition, medicinal plants and metabolomics. The components contained in such complex mixtures are always characterized with diverse physiochemical properties that pose a major challenge during the optimization of various parameters using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (LC-MS). The parameter 'CE energy' that is normally set at a fixed value with a moderate range of CE spread during data-dependent acquisition (DDA) analysis, a prevalent approach for untargeted identification, often fails to generate sufficient MS/MS fragment ions for untargeted identification of components from complex mixtures. Here we developed a simple and generally applicable acquisition method named stepped MS(All) (sMS(All) ) in this study, aiming to obtain optimal MS/MS spectra for identification of chemically diverse compounds from complex mixtures. sMS(All) collects serial MS(All) scans acquired at low CE to gradually ramped-up high CE values in a cycle that conventional DDA scans cannot afford. The resultant MS/MS spectra of each compound were compared and evaluated among serial MS(All) scans, and the optimal spectra were used for identification. An untargeted data analysis strategy was then employed to analyze these optimal MS/MS spectra by searching common diagnostic ions and connecting the diagnostic ion families into a network via bridging components. This sMS(All) -based route enables identification of 71 natural products from a herbal preparation, whereas only 53 out of 71 compounds were identified using the classical DDA approach. Therefore, the sMS(All) -based approach is expected to find its wide applications for characterization of vastly diverse compounds with no priori knowledge from various complex mixtures.

    Abstract Background: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) in gastric cancer is a very important prognostic factor affecting long-term survival. Currently, several common imaging techniques are used to evaluate the lymph node status. However, they are incapable of achieving both high sensitivity and specificity simultaneously. In order to deal with this complex issue, a new evidential reasoning (ER) based model is proposed to support diagnosis of LNM in gastric cancer.
    Methods: There are 175 consecutive patients who went through multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) consecutively before the surgery. Eight indicators, which are serosal invasion, tumor classification, tumor enhancement pattern, tumor thickness, number of lymph nodes, maximum lymph node size, lymph node station and lymph node enhancement are utilized to evaluate the tumor and lymph node through CT images. All of the above indicators reflect the biological behavior of gastric cancer. An ER based model is constructed by taking the above indicators as input index. The output index determines whether LNM occurs for the patients, which is decided by the surgery and histopathology. A technique called k-fold cross-validation is used for training and testing the new model. The diagnostic capability of LNM is evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A Radiologist classifies LNM by adopting lymph node size for comparison.
    Results: 134 out of 175 cases are cases of LNM, and the remains are not. Eight indicators have statistically significant difference between the positive and negative groups. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the ER based model are 88.41%, 77.57% and 0.813, respectively. However, for the radiologist evaluating LNM by maximum lymph node size, the corresponding values are only 63.4%, 75.6% and 0.757. Therefore, the proposed model can obtain better performance than the radiologist. Besides, the proposed model also outperforms other machine learning methods.
    Conclusions: According to the biological behavior information of gastric cancer, the ER based model can diagnose LNM effectively and preoperatively.

    Abstract The characterization of herbal prescriptions serves as a foundation for quality control and regulation of herbal medicines. Previously, the characterization of herbal chemicals from natural medicines often relied on the analysis of signature fragment ions from the acquired tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) spectra with prior knowledge of the herbal species present in the herbal prescriptions of interest. Nevertheless, such an approach is often limited to target components, and it risks missing the critical components that we have no prior knowledge of. We previously reported a "diagnostic ion-guided network bridging" strategy. It is a generally applicable and robust approach to analyze unknown substances from complex mixtures in an untargeted manner. In this study, we have developed a standalone software named "Nontargeted Diagnostic Ion Network Analysis (NINA)" with a graphical user interface based on a strategy for post-acquisition data analysis. NINA allows one to rapidly determine the nontargeted diagnostic ions (NIs) by summarizing all of the fragment ions shared by the precursors from the acquired MS/MS spectra. A NI-guided network using bridging components that possess two or more NIs can then be established via NINA. With such a network, we could sequentially identify the structures of all the NIs once a single compound has been identified de novo. The structures of NIs can then be used as "priori" knowledge to narrow the candidates containing the sub-structure of the corresponding NI from the database hits. Subsequently, we applied the NINA software to the characterization of a model herbal prescription, Re-Du-Ning injection, and rapidly identified 56 herbal chemicals from the prescription using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight system in the negative mode with no knowledge of the herbal species or herbal chemicals in the mixture. Therefore, we believe the applications of NINA will greatly facilitate the characterization of complex mixtures, such as natural medicines, especially when no advance information is available. In addition to herbal medicines, the NINA-based workflow will also benefit many other fields, such as environmental analysis, nutritional science, and forensic analysis.
