“…Previous surfaceactive phospholipid research in peritoneal dialysis ( 46 ) was focused on the correlation between PC and peritoneal function, such as changes of PC in peritoneal surface or dialysate and recovery of destroyed peritoneum by PC replenishment through intraperitoneal, intravenous, and oral administration. Combined with our research, there are two reasons for the focus: 1 ) PC was the major class both in rat peritoneal surface ( 33 ) and dialysate ( 47 ), which means even a small proportion of PC altered by some stimulation could be enough to be detected. It is reasonable that these changes are not crucial but detectable by traditional analytical approaches; and 2 ) previous detection methods, such as TLC and 1D LC-MS ( 5,33,47 ), cannot determine LpPL molecular species, let alone the discovery of their changes.…”
