[18F]Fluoropropyl-TZTP (FP-TZTP) is a subtype-selective muscarinic cholinergic ligand with potential suitability for studying Alzheimer's disease. Positron emission tomography studies in isofluorane-anesthetized rhesus monkeys were performed to assess the in vivo behavior of this radiotracer. First, control studies (n = 11) were performed to characterize the tracer kinetics and to choose an appropriate model using a metabolite-corrected arterial input function. Second, preblocking studies (n = 4) with unlabeled FP-TZTP were used to measure nonspecific binding. Third, the sensitivity of [18F]FP-TZTP binding to changes in brain acetylcholine (ACh) was assessed by administering physostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, by intravenous infusion (100 to 200 microg x kg(-1) x h(-1)) beginning 30 minutes before tracer injection (n = 7). Tracer uptake in the brain was rapid with K1 values of 0.4 to 0.6 mL x min(-1) x mL(-1) in gray matter. A model with one tissue compartment was chosen because reliable parameter estimates could not be obtained with a more complex model. Volume of distribution (V) values, determined from functional images created by pixel-by-pixel fitting, were very similar in cortical regions, basal ganglia, and thalamus, but significantly lower (P < 0.01) in the cerebellum, consistent with the distribution of M2 cholinergic receptors. Preblocking studies with unlabeled FP-TZTP reduced V by 60% to 70% in cortical and subcortical regions. Physostigmine produced a 35% reduction in cortical specific binding (P < 0.05), consistent with increased ACh competition. The reduction in basal ganglia (12%) was significantly smaller (P < 0.05), consistent with its markedly higher AChE activity. These studies indicate that [18F]FP-TZTP should be useful for the in vivo measurement of muscarinic receptors with positron emission tomography. 相似文献

The differential diagnosis of all patients with altered mental status must include drug toxicity. In particular, intentional or unintentional overdosing and/or poisoning are common emergency department presenting complaints. A comprehensive approach to managing these patients must incorporate aggressive information gathering, a careful physical examination looking for toxic syndromes, and diagnostic testing. Proper decontamination is the key to effective management, as is the use of specific antidotes when indicated. 相似文献

Probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum L4 and strain Leuconostoc mesenteroides LMG 7954 were applied for the controlled fermentation of cabbage heads. The parameters of the controlled and spontaneous fermentations, including antimicrobial effect of cabbage brines obtained at the end of both fermentations, were monitored. To check out the influence of starter culture strains, 10 randomly chosen lactic acid bacteria, isolated at the end of controlled cabbage heads fermentation were identified by API 50 CHL test, and the presence of the probiotic culture was confirmed by Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis. The starter cultures applied for cabbage heads fermentation allowed lowering of NaCl concentrations from 4.0% to 2.5% (w/v), considerably accelerated fermentation process by 14 d, and improved the product quality. The produced sauerkraut heads are considered probiotic product as viable probiotic cells count in final product was higher than 10(6) colony-forming units (CFU) per gram of product. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The results of this research could be applied in the production of fermented cabbage heads with added functional (probiotic) value and with lower NaCl concentration with expected shortened fermentation time. This could not only be of economic but also of ecological importance. 相似文献

We have developed three biochemical probes to determine if they are sensitive probes of early biochemical change in a tumor. All three probes appear to have the appropriate properties for in vivo imaging, but must now be evaluated as probes for the sensitive detection of changes in early malignant disease. 相似文献

Three different modes of sample excitation in X-ray emission spectroscopy were used in trace element analysis of coal and coal ash: proton beam, Mo X-ray tube and radioactive sources 57Co and 109Cd. The results of analysis are presented and methods and their possibilities are compared in order to indicate the most appropriate technique for the particular purpose. 相似文献

Chloroquine (CQ) is an antimalarial drug known to inhibit autophagy flux by impairing autophagosome–lysosome fusion. We hypothesized that autophagy flux altered by CQ has a considerable influence on the lipid composition of endothelial cells. Thus, we investigated endothelial responses induced by CQ on human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1). HMEC-1 cells after CQ exposure were measured using a combined methodology based on label-free Raman and fluorescence imaging. Raman spectroscopy was applied to characterize subtle chemical changes in lipid contents and their distribution in the cells, while the fluorescence staining (LipidTox, LysoTracker and LC3) was used as a reference method. The results showed that CQ was not toxic to endothelial cells and did not result in the endothelial inflammation at concentrations of 1–30 µM. Notwithstanding, it yielded an increased intensity of LipidTox, LysoTracker, and LC3 staining, suggesting changes in the content of neutral lipids, lysosomotropism, and autophagy inhibition, respectively. The CQ-induced endothelial response was associated with lipid accumulation and was characterized by Raman spectroscopy. CQ-induced autophagosome accumulation in the endothelium is featured by a pronounced alteration in the lipid profile, but not in the endothelial inflammation. Raman-based assessment of CQ-induced biochemical changes offers a better understanding of the autophagy mechanism in the endothelial cells. 相似文献

The objective of this study was the evaluation of different fibres (bamboo, acacia, potato or citrus) addition on texture, rheological and sensory properties of acid casein processed cheese sauces. Fibres used in production of sauces had an impact on the texture, viscosity, viscoelastic and sensory properties. The largest increase in viscosity was observed in products with addition of potato fibre, which have good water holding and adsorption capacity. Processed cheese sauce with the addition of citrus fibre was characterised by the highest values in general, and the increase of this feature in the tested samples was regular. Adhesiveness was the highest in products with 1% addition of every fibre. The lowest values of viscosity single shear, G′ and G″ moduli, among all tested, had sauces with acacia fibre. Moreover, they had the most thin liquid consistency, which was different from preferred one. 相似文献

This article describes a combined theoretical-experimental investigation of the processes that drive axial instabilities in solid propellant rocket motors. In this study, the solid propellant flame has been simulated by a premixed flat flame that has been stabilized on the porous side-wall of a duct. The driving processes have been investigated by studying the interaction of the premixed flame with an axial acoustic field. Using experimentally determined acoustic pressures, burner surface admittances, and steady-state flame temperature distributions as input data, the developed model was used to determine the characteristics of the velocity field in the flame region under a variety of test conditions. The predicted velocity field was then compared with LDV velocity measurements to check the validity of the model and determine the flame driving. These studies reveal that the investigated flame responds to the presence of an axial acoustic field by producing an oscillatory velocity component, ν′, normal to the duct wall, that can drive or damp the acoustic field. Comparison of the measured data with the model predictions reveal satisfactory agreement. These studies also showed that driving and damping of the acoustic field occur simultaneously in different regions of the flame. The net effect of the flame upon the acoustic field depends upon the relative magnitudes of these opposing tendencies. It is also shown that the flame driving depends upon the acoustic admittance of the side-wall surface and the frequency of the acoustic field. 相似文献

This paper investigates the particular problem of matrices appearing during the modeling of Integrated Circuits with Finite Integration Technique (FIT) method. We present the key points of FIT approach followed by an illustration of the structure and the properties of the FIT-type matrix. A novel algorithm SMark is proposed, which focuses on fill-ins number reduction. The main idea of SMark is the concept of a dual architecture—symbolic and numeric factorization. 相似文献
