Dual Functioning Thieno‐Pyrrole Fused BODIPY Dyes for NIR Optical Imaging and Photodynamic Therapy: Singlet Oxygen Generation without Heavy Halogen Atom Assistance

We discovered a rare phenomenon wherein a thieno‐pyrrole fused BODIPY dye (SBDPiR690) generates singlet oxygen without heavy halogen atom substituents. SBDPiR690 generates both singlet oxygen and fluorescence. To our knowledge, this is the first example of such a finding. To establish a structure–photophysical property relationship, we prepared SBDPiR analogs with electron‐withdrawing groups at the para‐position of the phenyl groups. The electron‐withdrawing groups increased the HOMO–LUMO energy gap and singlet oxygen generation. Among the analogs, SBDPiR688, a CF₃ analog, had an excellent dual functionality of brightness (82290 m ^?1 cm^?1) and phototoxic power (99170 m ^?1 cm^?1) comparable to those of Pc 4, due to a high extinction coefficient (211 000 m ^?1 cm^?1) and balanced decay (Φ_flu=0.39 and Φ_Δ=0.47). The dual functionality of the lead compound SBDPiR690 was successfully applied to preclinical optical imaging and for PDT to effectively control a subcutaneous tumor.     

基于PCAU-Net的快速多通道磁共振成像方法

多通道磁共振成像方法采用多个接收线圈同时欠采样k空间以加快成像速度,并基于后处理算法重建图像,但在较高加速因子时,其图像重建质量仍然较差．本文提出了一种基于PCAU-Net的快速多通道磁共振成像方法,将单通道实数U型卷积神经网络拓展到多通道复数卷积神经网络,设计了一种结构不对称的U型网络结构,通过在解码部分减小网络规模以降低模型的复杂度．PCAU-Net网络在跳跃连接前增加了1×1卷积,以实现跨通道信息交互．输入和输出之间利用残差连接为误差的反向传播提供捷径．实验结果表明,使用规则和随机采样模板,在不同加速因子时,相比常规的GRAPPA重建算法和SPIRiT重建方法,本文提出的PCAU-Net方法可高质量重建出磁共振复数图像,并且相比于PCU-Net方法,PCAU-Net减少了模型参数、缩短了训练时间．

Sequential paired covariance for improved visualization of mass spectrometry imaging datasets

Untargeted analyses in mass spectrometry imaging produce hundreds of ion images representing spatial distributions of biomolecules in biological tissues. Due to the large diversity of ions detected in untargeted analyses, normalization standards are often difficult to implement to account for pixel-to-pixel variability in imaging studies. Many normalization strategies exist to account for this variability, but they largely do not improve image quality. In this study, we present a new approach for improving image quality and visualization of tissue features by application of sequential paired covariance (SPC). This approach was demonstrated using previously published tissue datasets such as rat brain and human prostate with different biomolecules like metabolites and N-linked glycans. Data transformation by SPC improved ion images resulting in increased smoothing of biological features compared with commonly used normalization approaches.     

DCE-MRI参数联合IFIT1基因对腰椎间盘突出患者椎间盘退变程度的评估价值

探讨DCE-MRI参数及IFIT1基因对腰椎间盘突出症(LDH)患者椎间盘退变(IDD)程度的评估价值。随机选取确诊的66例LDH患者作为研究对象,根据改良Pfirrmann分级法将患者分为2组:轻中度IDD(Ⅰ~Ⅲ级)组(46例)和重度IDD(Ⅳ~Ⅴ级)组20例。通过DCE-MRI检查考察患者的K-trans值,采用日本骨科学会评分(JOA)评估腰椎功能,采用视觉模拟评分法(VAS)评估腰部疼痛,采用RT-PCR检测外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)中IFIT1的mRNA表达。轻中度IDD组的K-trans值显著低于重度IDD组。轻中度IDD组患者PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA相对表达量显著低于重度IDD组。K-trans值与PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平和VAS评分正相关,与JOA评分负相关(P<0.05)。PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平与VAS评分正相关,与JOA评分负相关(P<0.05)。K-trans值和PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平联合诊断重度IDD的AUC值、敏感性和特异性分别为0.991、91.3%和100.0%,AUC值和特异性均高于单独诊断。DCE-MRI检查中的K-trans值联合PBMC中的IFIT1 mRNA水平可用于LDH患者IDD程度的诊断。     

超声内镜联合CT门静脉成像技术对肝硬化GOV程度及疗效的评价

本研究探讨了超声内镜联合CT门静脉成像技术对肝硬化食管胃静脉曲张(GOV)程度及治疗效果的评价价值。选取72例肝硬化GOV患者为研究对象,根据食管静脉曲张套扎术(EVL)治疗效果分为良好组与不良组。结果发现,不良组总横断面表面积、胃左静脉、门静脉、脾静脉、肠系膜上静脉直径及门静脉长度均大于良好组,曲张静脉壁厚度小于良好组(P<0.05);总横断面表面积、胃左静脉、门静脉、脾静脉、肠系膜上静脉直径及门静脉长度与肝功能Child-Pugh分级、静脉曲张程度呈正相关,曲张静脉壁厚度与肝功能Child-Pugh分级、静脉曲张程度呈负相关(P<0.05);总横断面表面积、曲张静脉壁厚度/胃左静脉、门静脉、脾静脉、肠系膜上静脉直径及门静脉长度均为肝硬化GOV患者治疗效果的影响因素(P<0.05);超声内镜、CT门静脉成像参数联合预测肝硬化GOV患者治疗效果的AUC为0.857。可见,超声内镜、CT门静脉成像参数与肝硬化GOV程度、肝功能分级及EVL治疗效果密切相关,可为临床预测EVL治疗效果提供一定参考。     

Imaging Photodissociation Dynamics of MgO at 193 nm

In this work, we used time-sliced ion velocity imaging to study the photodissociation dynamics of MgO at \mbox{193 nm}. Three dissociation pathways are found through the speed and angular distributions of magnesium. One pathway is the one-photon excitation of MgO(X\begin{document}$^1\Sigma^+$\end{document}) to MgO(G\begin{document}$^1\Pi$\end{document}) followed by spin-orbit coupling between the G\begin{document}$^1\Pi$\end{document}, 3\begin{document}$^3\Pi$\end{document} and 1\begin{document}$^5\Pi$\end{document} states, and finally dissociated to the Mg(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_\textrm{u}$\end{document})+O(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_\textrm{g}$\end{document}) along the 1\begin{document}$^5\Pi$\end{document} surface. The other two pathways are one-photon absorption of MgO(A\begin{document}$^1\Pi$\end{document}) state to MgO(G\begin{document}$^1\Pi$\end{document}) and MgO(4\begin{document}$^1\Pi$\end{document}) state to dissociate into Mg(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_\textrm{u}$\end{document})+O(\begin{document}$^3$\end{document}P\begin{document}$_\textrm{g}$\end{document}) and Mg(\begin{document}$^1$\end{document}S\begin{document}$_\textrm{g}$\end{document})+O(\begin{document}$^1$\end{document}S\begin{document}$_\textrm{g}$\end{document}), respectively. The anisotropy parameters of the dissociation pathways are related to the lifetime of the vibrational energy levels and the coupling of rotational and vibronic spin-orbit states. The total kinetic energy analysis gives \begin{document}$D_0$\end{document}(Mg\begin{document}$-$\end{document}O)=21645\begin{document}$\pm$\end{document}50 cm\begin{document}$^{-1}$\end{document}.     

Analysis of hair components by nanoparticle-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging

Using a vertical hair-slice section, we compared the components of normal and damaged hair regions using two ionization methods, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and nanoparticle-assisted laser desorption/ionization (Nano-PALDI) mass spectrometry. Nano-PALDI is useful for small-molecule and high spatial resolution (5 μm) analyses due to the lack of noise. Thus, clear images were obtained from thin hair samples. In Nano-PALDI mass spectrometry imaging, cystine and 18-methyleicosanoic acid as endogenous hair components localized in the cuticle and cortex and cuticle of normal hair, respectively. In contrast, both components were absent in damaged hair.
