A quantitative assessment of liver metabolites during jaundice using three dimensional phosphorus chemical shift imaging

Phosphorus metabolites in the jaundiced rat liver were studied by three-dimensional phosphorus chemical shift imaging (CSI). Animals were studied at 1, 2, and 3 weeks post-ligation of the common bile duct. Quantitation of metabolites was performed using an external standard. Metabolite T(1) values were assessed in CSI experiments on normal untreated animals. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to measure adenine nucleotides in a separate group of jaundiced rats. 3D-CSI did not detect significant changes in NTP in jaundiced animals relative to baseline controls. At two and three weeks post bile duct ligation, pH was significantly elevated. HPLC data comparing ATP levels to baseline controls also detected no change except for elevated ATP detected on Day 21. (31)P NMR chemical shift imaging may be used to assess liver metabolites under conditions of stress such as jaundice. However, absolute quantitation requires careful attention to many factors including point spread function, correct T(1) values, and adequate signal-to-noise ratio.     

Feasibility of using limited-population-based average R10 for pharmacokinetic modeling of osteosarcoma dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging data

Retrospective analyses of clinical dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI studies may be limited by failure to measure the longitudinal relaxation rate constant (R₁) initially, which is necessary for quantitative analysis. In addition, errors in R₁ estimation in each individual experiment can cause inconsistent results in derivations of pharmacokinetic parameters, K^trans and v_e, by kinetic modeling of the DCE-MRI time course data. A total of 18 patients with lower extremity osteosarcomas underwent multislice DCE-MRI prior to surgery. For the individual R₁ measurement approach, the R₁ time course was obtained using the two-point R₁ determination method. For the average R₁₀ (precontrast R₁) approach, the R₁ time course was derived using the DCE-MRI pulse sequence signal intensity equation and the average R₁₀ value of this population. The whole tumor and histogram median K^trans (0.57±0.37 and 0.45±0.32 min⁻¹) and v_e (0.59±0.20 and 0.56±0.17) obtained with the individual R₁ measurement approach are not significantly different (paired t test) from those (K^trans: 0.61±0.46 and 0.44±0.33 min⁻¹; v_e: 0.61±0.19 and 0.55±0.14) obtained with the average R₁₀ approach. The results suggest that it is feasible, as well as practical, to use a limited-population-based average R₁₀ for pharmacokinetic modeling of osteosarcoma DCE-MRI data.     

Solitary wave solutions to nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics

This paper obtains solitons as well as other solutions to a few nonlinear evolution equations that appear in various areas of mathematical physics. The two analytical integrators that are applied to extract solutions are tan–cot method and functional variable approaches. The soliton solutions can be used in the further study of shallow water waves in (1+1) as well as (2+1) dimensions.     

A birdcage resonator for intracavitary MR imaging

An intracavitary probe for magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis has been developed that takes advantage of the “inside-out” spatial characteristics of a birdcage resonator. The probe consists of an eight-leg, birdcage resonator in a low-pass configuration operating in receive-only mode. The resonator circuit is mounted on a solid rod, is encased in Teflon^®, and has been used to obtain detailed images of pelvic anatomy in a male canine. The approximate cylindrical symmetry of the external sensitivity profile of this type of circuit, employed in an intracavitary application, demonstrates the potential superiority of this type of probe design over single-loop intracavitary coils. Axial, coronal, and sagittal MR images, obtained with 8 and 16 cm fields of view, are presented to illustrate the advantages of this type of intracavitary probe compared with conventional body-coil images. The prototype described in this report has been designed for clinical use in human subjects and is currently undergoing testing to determine its efficacy in the evaluation of rectal, prostate, and gynecologic pathology.     

An analysis of the intrinsic resonance offset dependence of magnetization generated by stimulated echo pulse sequences for noncoupled spins.

It is demonstrated that the basic radiofrequency pulse train used to generate stimulated echoes (90x-tau TE-90x-tau TM-90x-tau TE-Acq.) is in general characterized by strong amplitude and phase modulations of the transverse magnetization as a function of the resonance offset. Two dephasing techniques which eliminate the modulations are investigated both theoretically and experimentally, and a simple formula is derived for calculating the relative modulation across a spectrum as a function of gradient strength and duration, echo delay, and spectral linewidth.     

Rotational absorption spectrum of methylene fluoride in the 20–100 cm region

The pure rotational spectrum of CH₂F₂ was recorded in the 20–100 cm⁻¹ spectral range and analyzed to obtain rotation and centrifugal distortion constants. Analysis of the data yielded rotation constants: A = 1.6392173 ± 0.0000015, B = 0.3537342 ± 0.00000033, C = 0.3085387 ± 0.00000027, τ_aaaa = −(7.64 ± 0.46) × 10⁻⁵, τ_bbbb = −(2.076 ± 0.016) × 10⁻⁶, τ_cccc = −(9.29 ± 0.12) × 10⁻⁷, T₁ = (4.89 ± 0.20) × 10⁻⁶, and T₂ = −(1.281 ± 0.016) × 10⁻⁶cm⁻¹.
