DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF TRANSVERSE RELAXATION TIME OF INTERMOLECULAR MULTIPLE QUANTUM COHERENCES IN NMR

A one-dimensional NMR method is presented for measuring the transverse relaxation time, T_2,n, of intermolecular multiple quantum coherences (IMQCs) of coherence order n in highly polarized spin systems. The pulse sequence proposed in this paper effectively suppresses the effects of radiation damping, molecular diffusion, inhomogeneity of magnetic field, and variations of dipolar correlation distance, all of which may affect quantitation of T_2,n. This pulse sequence can be used to measure not only IMQC transverse relaxation time T_2,n(n>1) quickly and directly, but also the conventional transverse relaxation time. Experimental results demonstrate that the quantitative relationship between T_2,n(n≥1) and T₂ is T_2,n≈T₂/n. These results will be helpful for understanding the fundamental properties and mechanisms of IMQCs.     

弧形核磁共振传感器设计及其在复合绝缘子老化状态检测中的应用

硅橡胶复合绝缘子具有憎水性、强度高和重量轻等优势,被广泛应用于电力系统,然而,目前尚没有准确有效的方法来检测硅橡胶复合绝缘子的老化状态．许多学者对复合绝缘子伞裙的老化状态开展了相关研究,但目前尚未有对复合绝缘子芯棒护套老化状态的研究报道．针对这一问题,该文设计了一种能够测量弧形表面样品的核磁共振（NMR）传感器,并应用于芯棒护套老化状态的检测．首先,对产生主磁场（B⁰）的磁体结构进行了设计及优化,使得主磁场的分布具有和芯棒护套一样的曲率．其次,设计并优化了一种可弯曲的螺线线圈作为射频线圈．最后,用该传感器测量了3种在220 kV输电线路上挂网运行了不同年限的复合绝缘子的芯棒护套．采用CPMG脉冲序列激励样品,并得到横向弛豫衰减曲线,然后对横向弛豫衰减曲线做拉普拉斯逆变换获得横向弛豫时间（T₂）谱．T₂谱显示,随着运行年限的增长,复合绝缘子芯棒护套的T₂会减小．因此,从T₂谱中提取的T^{2,long mean}可以作为一个衡量复合绝缘子芯棒护套老化状态的参数．

T2 relaxation time histograms in multiple sclerosis

An accurate measurement of the transverse relaxation time T₂, and the histogram of T₂ in the brain parenchyma can be accomplished in vivo using a multi-echo magnetic resonance imaging sequence. An estimate of the error in the T₂ measurement is derived using copper sulfate doped water phantoms. Correction factors are calculated and applied to the signal intensity of each voxel prior to the in vivo T₂ evaluation. These corrected T₂ are in good agreement with the theoretical values calculated from copper sulfate concentrations. This technique is then applied to calculate T₂ histograms of the brain. The population studied was composed of normal volunteers and multiple sclerosis patients. The corrected T₂ histogram method discriminates the normal control population from the MS population, and also discriminates between relapsing-remitting patients and primary progressive or secondary progressive patients. Moreover using this approach we are able to detect in MS patients a global shift of the T₂ of the white mater toward higher values. The results of this study showed that the method is easy to implement and may be used to characterize MS pathology.

Selection of pulse sequences producing maximum tissue contrast in magnetic resonance imaging

The importance of spin density [N(H)] and spin-lattice (T₁) and spin-spin (T₂) relaxation in the characterization of tissue by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is clearly recognized. This work considers which optimized pulse sequences provide the best tissue discrimination between a given pair of tissues. The effects of tissue spin density and machine-imposed minimum rephasing echo times (TE_MIN) for achieving maximum signal tissue contrast are discussed. A long TE_MIN sacrifices T₁-dependent contrast in saturation recovery (SR) and inversion recovery (IR) pulse sequences so that spin-echo (SE) becomes the optimum sequence to provide tissue contrast, due to T₂ relaxation. Pulse sequences providing superior performance may be selected based on spin density and T₁ and T₂ ratios for a given pair of tissues. Selection of the preferred pulse sequence and interpulse delay times to produce maximum tissue contrast is strongly dependent on knowledge of tissue spin densities as well as T₁ and T₂ characteristics. As the spin density ratio increases, IR replaces SR as the preferred sequence and SE replaces IR and SR as the pulse sequence providing superior contrast. To select the optimal pulse sequence and interpulse delay times, an accurate knowledge of tissue spin density, T₁ and T₂ must be known for each tissue.

THE APPLICATION OF HIGH RESOLUTION SOLID STATE NMR IN ADSORPTION SYSTEMS

High resolution solid state NMR techniques(such as MAS,CP/MAS andCRAMPS)were employed to study the nature of organic molecules adsorbed onporous solids. A magic angle spinning system was achieved for sealed samples with a spinning speed from 2KHz to 4.2KHz.Using this technique,high resolution ~1HMAS spectra of organic molecules and H_2S adsorbed on charcoal were obtained.EXperimental results suggest that for high coverage of adsorbed organic molecules,the spectral lines were resolved very well.But for low coverage,the spectrallines could not be separated completely.As the organic molecules condensed in     

Multicomponent water proton transverse relaxation and T2-discriminated water diffusion in myelinated and nonmyelinated nerve

The influence of compartmental boundaries on water proton transverse relaxation and diffusion measurements was investigated in three distinct excised nerves, namely, the non-myelinated olfactory nerve, the Schwann cell myelinated trigeminal nerve, and the oligodendrocyte myelinated optic nerve of the garfish. The transverse relaxation decay curves were multiexponential and their decomposition yielded three primary components with T₂ values 30–50, 150, and 500 ms, which were subsequently assigned to water protons in the myelin, axoplasm, and interaxonal compartments. The short T₂ component was absent in the non-myelinated olfactory nerve, but present in both myelinated nerves and thus provides supporting evidence for the use of quantitative T₂ measurements to measure the degree of myelination. The signal contribution of each T₂ component to the apparent diffusion coefficient measurements was varied by incrementing the spin-echo time with a preparatory CPMG train of radiofrequency pulses. The apparent diffusion coefficient and its anisotropy were shown to be independent of the spin-echo time over the range of 70 to 450 ms.
