The influence of hyperoxia on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (CBFVMCA) in human volunteers

Conflicting results reported on the effects of hyperoxia on cerebral hemodynamics have been attributed mainly to methodical and species differences. In the present study contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) perfusion measurement was used to analyze the influence of hyperoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) = 1.0) on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) in awake, normoventilating volunteers (n = 19). Furthermore, the experiment was repeated in 20 volunteers for transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) measurement of cerebral blood flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (CBFV(MCA)). When compared to normoxia (FiO2 = 0.21), hyperoxia heterogeneously influenced rCBV (4.95 +/- 0.02 to 12.87 +/- 0.08 mL/100g (FiO2 = 0.21) vs. 4.50 +/- 0.02 to 13.09 +/- 0.09 mL/100g (FiO2 = 1.0). In contrast, hyperoxia diminished rCBF in all regions (68.08 +/- 0.38 to 199.58 +/- 1.58 mL/100g/min (FiO2 = 0.21) vs. 58.63 +/- 0.32 to 175.16 +/- 1.51 mL/100g/min (FiO2 = 1.0)) except in parietal and left frontal gray matter. CBFV(MCA) remained unchanged regardless of the inspired oxygen fraction (62 +/- 9 cm/s (FiO2 = 0.21) vs. 64 +/- 8 cm/s (FiO2 = 1.0)). Finding CBFV(MCA) unchanged during hyperoxia is consistent with the present study's unchanged rCBF in parietal and left frontal gray matter. In these fronto-parietal regions predominantly fed by the middle cerebral artery, the vasoconstrictor effect of oxygen was probably counteracted by increased perfusion of foci of neuronal activity controlling general behavior and arousal.     

Discovery of ( ±)-3-(1 H -pyrazol-1-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5 H -[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4- b ][1,3,4] thiadiazine derivatives with promising in vitro anticoronavirus and antitumoral activity

A new series of (?±)-(3-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-7-yl)(phenyl)methanones were efficiently synthesized starting from 4-amino-5-hydrazinyl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol 1, acetyl acetone 2, various aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes 3 and phenacyl bromides 4. All the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their antiviral and antitumoral activity. It was shown that subtle structural variations on the phenyl moiety allowed to tune biological properties toward antiviral or antitumoral activity. Mode-of-action studies revealed that the antitumoral activity was due to inhibition of tubulin polymerization.

Accuracy and precision of a laser-spectroscopy approach to the analysis of δ²H and δ¹⁸O in human urine

The isotope ratio analysis of body water often involves large sample numbers and lengthy sample processing. Here we demonstrate the ability of isotope ratio infrared spectroscopy (IRIS) to rapidly and accurately analyse the isotope ratios of water in urine. We analysed water extracted from human urine using traditional isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and compared those values with IRIS-analysed extracted water and un-extracted urine. Regression analyses for δ2H and δ1?O values between (1) extracted water analysed via IRMS and IRIS and (2) urine and extracted water analysed via IRIS were significant (R2=0.99). These results indicate that cryogenic distillation of urine was not required for an accurate estimate of the isotopic composition of urine when using IRIS.

Laser activity at 1.18, 1.07, and 0.97 microm in the low-phonon-energy hosts KPb2Br5 and RbPb2Br5 doped with Nd3+

For the first time to the authors' knowledge, laser activity has been achieved in low-phonon-energy, moisture-resistant bromide host crystals, neodymium-doped potassium lead bromide (Nd3+:KPb2Br5) and rubidium lead bromide (Nd3+:RbPb2Br5; RPB). Laser activity at 1.07 microm was observed for both crystalline materials. Laser operation at the new wavelengths 1.18 and 0.97 microm that resulted from the 4F5/2 + 2H9/2 - 4IJ transitions (J=13/2 and J=11/2) in Nd:RPB was achieved in a solid-state laser material. Rare-earth-doped MPb2Br5 (M=K, Rb) is a promising candidate for long-wavelength infrared applications because of its low phonon frequencies and other favorable features. In principle, Nd3+:MPb2Br5 has high potential for laser operation at new wavelengths as well as for the achievement of short-wavelength lasing as a result of upconversion.     

Quantitative assessment of Gd-DTPA contrast agent from signal enhancement: an in-vitro study

Quantitative determination of in-vivo gadolinium diethylenetriamine-pentaacid (Gd-DTPA) concentration is attractive in various studies involving perfusion, tracer kinetics and permeability constants. Using a 1.5 T clinical system and a 7 T small-bore system, we evaluated a method for absolute determination of Gd-DTPA concentrations in plasma solutions. Different solutions of Gd-DTPA and (99m)Tc-DTPA were mixed in human plasma and concentrations in the range of 0-5.0 mmol/l (1.5 T system) or 0-3.0 mmol/l (7 T system) of Gd-DTPA were divided into thirteen tubes. All MRI measurements were carried out using conventional sequences (SE, FLASH and GRASS). The MR measured intensity was converted to Gd-DTPA concentration by mathematical interpretation of the sequences. All MRI sequences showed, that the measured concentrations of Gd-DTPA revealed a slight non-linear difference compared with the calculated Gd-DTPA concentrations determined by the plasma (99m)Tc-DTPA using gamma counting. This non-linearity was most pronounced at high Gd-DTPA concentrations, suggesting that the discrepancy could be a result of an increased plasma relaxivity at higher concentrations. Adjustment of measured Gd-DTPA concentration was therefore performed using a selected power function, A[Gd-DTPA](a), which yielded the best linear relationship. Regression analysis showed that the scaling constant (A) varied from 0.11 to 97.45 and the power constant (a) varied from 0.83 to 1.6. Based on these constants, the MRI measured concentrations of Gd-DTPA did not differ from the calculated concentrations of Gd-DTPA obtained from reference measurements of (99m)Tc-DTPA. In the 1.5 T system, a linear relationship (r(2) > or = 0.95) was demonstrated in the range of 0-5.0 mmol/l Gd-DTPA, and in the 7 T system, a linear relationship (r(2) > or = 0.92) was demonstrated in the range of 0-3.0 mmol/l Gd-DTPA. Additionally, the effect of signal-to-noise on measured concentrations of Gd-DTPA was simulated using MR data of the mixed solutions of Gd-DTPA in plasma and the analytical expression of the pulse sequences. The simulations showed that the concentrations were most sensitive to noise in the GRASS sequence. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a novel approach to quantify accurately the Gd-DTPA concentration directly from MRI signal data using different routine sequences.

同位素质谱法对土壤反硝化酶活性的测定研究

在评价硝化抑制剂的作用效果时, 需要确认此硝化抑制剂对反硝化过程有无影响。而对此过程的确认是通过反硝化酶活性(denitrifying enzyme activity, 简写为DEA)的测定来实现的。采用加入同位素标记底物结合同位素质谱仪来测定新型硝化抑制剂3,4-二甲基吡唑磷酸盐作用下的反硝化酶活性。结果表明, 此新型方法能够较准确的测定培养体系中的N₂O的浓度,与气相色谱法的测定结果具有良好的相关性(MS_N2O=-0.45+1.03GC_N2O,R2=0.995)。通过测定15N₂O和15N₂的丰度能够较好的区分2种反硝化酶活性(硝酸还原酶和N₂O还原酶), 且克服了传统测定中需要加入乙炔作为酶抑制剂的弊端。对DMPP作用下土壤反硝化酶的测定表明,DMPP对反硝化酶无显著影响, 说明DMPP在使用中不会影响土壤中的反硝化过程。

A Biophysical Study of Ru(II) Polypyridyl Complex,Properties and its Interaction with DNA

Mononuclear Ru(II)Polypyridyl complexes of type [Ru(A)₂BPIIP] (ClO₄)₂.2H₂O, where BPIIP?=?2-(3-(4-bromophenyl)isoxazole-5-yl)-1 H-imidazo [4,5-f] [1, 10] phenanthroline and A?=?bpy?=?bipyridyl (1), phen?=?1,10 Phenanthroline (2), dmb?=?4, 4' -dimethyl 2, 2'- bipyridine (3) & dmp?=?4,4'-dimethyl-1,10 –Ortho Phenanthroline (4), were synthesized and their antibacterial activity were examined. The synthesized complexes were characterized and their interaction with DNA was studied using Computational and Biophysical methods (Absorption, emission methods, and viscosity). Molecular modelling studies were carried out for molecular geometry and electronic properties (Frontier molecular orbital HOMO—LUMO). The electrostatic potential surface contours for the complexes were analysed to give their nucleophilic level of sensitivity. The study reveals that the Ru(II) Polypyridyl complexes bind to DNA preponderantly by intercalation. The results recommend that the phen and dmp complex have more effective binding ability than the bpy and dmb, indicating the role of the ancillary ligand in determining their specificity for DNA binding. Further molecular docking studies suggested an octahedral geometry and bind to DNA by preferential binding to Guanine. The docking study additionally sustains the binding constant data acquired with the absorption and emission techniques.The results reveal that the nature of the ancillary Ligand plays a considerable role for the intercalation of the Ru(II) polypyridyl complex to DNA, which subsequently influences the antibacterial activity. Biological studies conducted on Gram‐Negative (E.coli and K.pneumonia) and Gram-Positive (S. aureus and E. faecalis) bacteria establish that complex 1 and 2 were considerably active against S. aureus and E. coli.

     

Central to peripheral sound propagation in excised lung

The time it takes audible sound to travel from the trachea to the pleura in five intact, excised horse lungs and one dog lung inflated with several gases was measured. Regression estimates of sound speed at total lung capacity (TLC) using straight line distance from the carina to the pleura are: helium, 775 +/- 60.5 m/s (means +/- 95% confidence limits); air, 282 +/- 23.5; carbon dioxide, 219 +/- 25.5; sulfur hexafluoride, 142 +/- 43.5. With the exception of sulfur hexafluoride, these speeds are 15%-20% less than the free-field speed of sound in each gas. Total airway length did not predict time delay any better or worse than straight line distance, but the high correlation between these two predictors (r = 0.94) prevents showing either to be the more predictive. In one lung, airway length was partitioned according to airway diameter. A regression using partitioned airway lengths significantly improved time delay prediction (p less than 0.001) over an unpartitioned model. Sound speed in the trachea equals free-field sound speed. Sound speed in air-filled airways 1 to 25 mm in diameter equals 268 +/- 44 m/s. We conclude that the first sound to reach the surface travels in the airways for at least 90% of the distance, spending at least 87% of the total travel time there.     

Collision-induced vibrational energy transfer: K2[1(1) sigmau+ (nu'=2)]+He, H2-->K2[1(1) sigmau+(nu'=1,3)]+He, H2

Collisional energy transfer processes K2[1(1) sigmau+ (nu'=2)]+He, H2-->K2[1(1) sigmau+(nu'=1,3)]+He, H2 were studied by laser induced fluorescence under gas cell conditions. During the experiments, the cell temperature was kept constant at 420K. The buffer gas pressure was varied over the range from 40 to 250 Pa, Kz molecules were irradiated with pulses of radiation from an OPO laser, populating K2[1(1) sigmau+ (nu'=2)] by photon absorption. The resulting fluorescence included the direct component emitted in the decay of the optically excited state and the sensitized components arising from collisionally populated states. The decay signal of time-resolved fluorescence from 1(1) sigmau+ (nu'=2)]-->1(1) sigmag+(nu"=0) transition was monitored. In the early period after excitation, only very little population in states v'= 1 or 3 had yet accumulated, the rate of collisional activation to the state nu'=2 was negligible. The decay curve of the nu' = 2-->nu" = 0 was treated as a single exponential function. From the measurement of the time-resolved fluorescence, the semilog plot was shown. The slope yielded the effective lifetime of the nu' = 2--> nu' = 0 transition. Based on the Stern-Volmer equation, the radiative lifetime (36 +/- 7) ns was obtained. The total cross sections for deactivation of 1(1) sigmau1 (nu'=2) state by means of collisions with He and H2 are (3.0 +/- 0.5) x 10(-16) cm2 and (6.4 +/- 1.2) x 10(-15) cm2, respectively. The radiative lifetimes of 1(1) sigmau+(nu' = 1,3) states can also be determined through time-resolved fluorescence in pure K vapor. The time-integrated intensities of 1(1)sigmau+(nu' = 1,2,3)-->1(1) sigmag+(nu"=0) transition at different He or Hz pressure were measured. The ratio of fluorescence intensities versus 1/P(He, H2) can be fitted by a straight line. The slopes yield the cross sections sigma(nu'=2-->nu'=1) = (1.4 +/- 0.5) x 10(-16) cm2 and (3.2 +/- 1.0) x 10(-15) cm2; sigma(nu'=2-->nu'=3)= (1.2 +/- 0.4) x 10(-16) cm2 and (2.6 +/- 0.9) x 10(-15) cm2 for He and H2, respectively. Cross sections for the effective quenching of the nu' = 1,2,3 states were also determined. To our knowledge, the cross-sections for these processes are reported for first time.     

Probabilistic model for fluences and peak fluxes of solar energetic particles.

The model is intended for calculating the probability for solar energetic particles (SEP), i.e., protons and Z=2-28 ions, to have an effect on hardware and on biological and other objects in the space. The model describes the probability for the > or = 10 MeV/nucleon SEP fluences and peak fluxes to occur in the near-Earth space beyond the Earth magnetosphere under varying solar activity. The physical prerequisites of the model are as follows. 1. The occurrence of SEP is a probabilistic process. 2. The mean SEP occurrence frequency is a power-law function of solar activity (sunspot number). 3. The SEP size (taken to be the > or = 30 MeV proton fluence size) distribution is a power-law function within a 10(5)-10(11) proton/cm2 range. 4. The SEP event particle energy spectra are described by a common function whose parameters are distributed log-normally. 5. The SEP mean composition is energy-dependent and suffers fluctuations described by log-normal functions in separate events.
