The relaxation rates (1 / T 1 and 1 / T 2) in cysts have already been analyzed in terms of materials such as albumin, cholesterol, manganese, iron, and copper. However, the relaxivities of these materials have not been determined yet. In this work, five sets containing the ions, albumin, and cholesterol were prepared by addition of increasing concentration of one material to each set. The relaxation times in these sets were measured by MRI, and the relaxation rates were fitted versus concentrations. The slopes of the fits were used as relaxivities. The (r 1, r 2) values of manganese, iron, and copper in mM−1 s−1, and those of albumin and cholesterol in (g/dl)−1 s−1 were found to be (32.64, 89.77), (0.31, 1.19), (0.5, 1.479), (0.01, 0.066) and (0.03, 0.458), respectively. The r 2/r 1 ratio ranged from 2.75 to 15.27. Manganese is an efficient relaxer, but iron and copper are poor ones. Albumin and cholesterol are efficient relaxers for only T 2. The contribution of water associated with native manganese of the cystic fluid to T 1 was 0.268 s−1, whereas those of water associated with native manganese, albumin, cholesterol, and iron to T 2 were 0.736, 0.185, 0.092, and 0.076 s−1, respectively. The other contributions were much smaller than 0.076 s−1. Manganese is most likely the compound altering T 1-weighted images between different jaw cysts, whereas manganese and albumin are most likely the compounds altering the T 2-weighted images. Present data suggest that such alterations may be used to separate jaw cysts from other jaw masses. The high r 2/r 1 suggests that T 2 is a more convenient parameter than T 1 for diagnostic use. This work is a part of the PhD thesis of U. Nezih Yilmaz supervised by R. Guner.  相似文献

Proton two‐dimensional time domain nmr involving T1, T, T1D, and T2 measurements was applied to hydrated polyglycine powders. The results were analyzed for magnetization exchange and found to be consistent with a general three‐site (glycine–water–glycine) exchange model. The intrinsic glycine and water proton relaxation parameters as well as the three exchange rates were obtained. Estimates of correlation times for water molecule motion at hydration sites are presented. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biopoly 50: 630–640, 1999  相似文献

Summary The effects of various convective and temperature regimes on heat production, evaporative heat loss, and thermal resistance were studied in deer mice,Peromyscus maniculatus. Heat production (measured as oxygen consumption) increased with increasing wind speed (V) and decreasing ambient temperature (T a), except atT a=35°C which was thermoneutral for allV from 0.05 through 3.75 m/s. Evaporative water loss ( ) increased with increasingT a, but wind had little effect on except at highT a. In the absence of forced convection, the animals' total resistance to heat transfer (r t) was high and stable atT a below thermoneutrality. However, at highV ther t increased steadily with decreasingT a. Although deer mice rarely experience high wind speeds in natural microhabitats, the convective regime is nevertheless important in determining rates of heat loss, and must be considered in studies of ecological energetics.Symbols and Abbreviations A animal surface area - HP n net metabolic heat production - EHL evaporative heat loss - MHP metabolic heat production - r t total resistance to heat transfer - r ext external resistance component of rt - RQ respiratory quotient - pc p volumetric specific heat of air - T a ambient temperature - t b body temperature - t e operative, or equivalent blackbody temperature of the environment - T sk skin temperature - T es standard operative temperature - V wind speed - oxygen consumption - carbon dioxide production - evaporative water loss  相似文献

A new technique – Z-spectrum Analysis Provides Proton Environment Data (ZAPPED) – was used to map cross-relaxing free and restricted protons in nine healthy subjects plus two brain tumor patients at 3T. First, MT data were acquired over a wide symmetric range of frequency offsets, and then a trio of quantitative biomarkers, i.e., the apparent spin-spin relaxation times (T2,f, T2,r) in both free and restricted proton pools as well as the restricted pool fraction Fr, were mapped by fitting the measured Z-spectra to a simple two-Lorentzian compartment model on a voxel-by-voxel basis. The mean restricted exchangeable proton fraction, Fr, was found to be 0.17 in gray matter (GM) and 0.28 in white matter (WM) in healthy subjects. Corresponding mean values for apparent spin-spin relaxation times were 785 µs (T2,f) and 17.7 µs (T2,r) in GM, 672 µs (T2,f) and 23.4 µs (T2,r) in WM. The percentages of Ff and Fr in GM are similar for all ages, whereas Fr shows a tendency to decrease with age in WM among healthy subjects. The patient ZAPPED images show higher contrast between tumor and normal tissues than traditional T2-weighted and T1-weighted images. The ZAPPED method provides a simple phenomenological approach to estimating fractions and apparent T2 values of free and restricted MT-active protons, and it may offer clinical useful information.  相似文献

TheT 1 andT 2 relaxation times of water protons in two cell types in culture derived from Syrian hamster fetuses (normal primary or secondary fetal cells vs BP6T tumor cells derived from the normal cells transformed by carcinogens) were measured at 7.05 Tesla magnetic field (proton frequency =300 MHz). TheT 1/T 2 ratios and the correlation time, τ c , calculated from theT 1/T 2 ratio of cellular water protons, are significantly different in these two fibroblastic cell types of the same biological origin and with similar morphologies and growth rates in culture.  相似文献

Multi-proton spin-echo images were collected from cold-acclimated winter wheat crowns (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Cappelle Desprez at 400 MHz between 4 and ?4 °C. Water proton relaxation by the spin-spin (T2) mechanism from individual voxels in image slices was found to be mono-exponential. The temperature dependence of these relaxation rates was found to obey Arrhenius or absolute rate theory expressions relating temperature, activation energies and relaxation rates, Images whose contrast is proportional to the Arrhenius activation energy (Ea), Gibb's free energy of activation (ΔG?), and the entropy of activation (ΔS?) for water relaxation on a voxel basis were constructed by post-image processing. These new images exhibit contrast based on activation energies rather than rules of proton relaxation. The temperature dependence of water proton T2 relaxation rates permits prediction of changes in the physical state of water in this tissue over modest temperature ranges. A simple model is proposed to predict the freezing temperature kof various tissue in wheat crowns. The average Ea and ΔH? for water proton T2 relaxation over the above temperature range in winter wheat tissue were ?6.4 ± 14.8 and ?8.6 ± 14.8kj mol?1, respectively. This barrier is considerably lower than the Ea for proton translation in ice at 0°C, which is reported to be between 46.0 and 56.5 kj mol?1  相似文献

The dormant cysts of Artemia undergo cycles of hydration-dehydration without losing viability. Therefore, Artemia cysts serve as an excellent intact cellular system for studying the dynamics of water-protein interactions as a function of hydration. Deuterium spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times of water in cysts hydrated with D2O have been measured for hydrations between 1.5 and 0.1 g of D2O per gram of dry solids. When the relaxation rates (I/T1, I/T2) of 2H and 17O are plotted as a function of the reciprocal of hydration (1/H), an abrupt change in slope is observed near 0.6 g of D2O (or H2 17O)/gram of dry solids, the hydration at which conventional metabolism is activated in this system. The results have been discussed in terms of the two-site and multisite exchange models for the water-protein interaction as well as protein dynamics models. The 2H and 17O relaxation rates as a function of hydration show striking similarities to those observed for anisotropic motion of water molecules in protein crystals.

It is suggested here that although the simple two-site exchange model or n-site exchange model could be used to explain our data at high hydration levels, such models are not adequate at low hydration levels (<0.6 g H2O/g) where several complex interactions between water and proteins play a predominant role in the relaxation of water nuclei. We further suggest that the abrupt change in the slope of I/T1 as a function of hydration in the vicinity of 0.6 g H2O/g is due to a change in water-protein interactions resulting from a variation in the dynamics of protein motion.

Categorical data on n patients are classified according to the results on an initial clinical test T, and also with respect to a subsequent and definitive diagnosis D. In this paper the sensitivity (=), specificity (=) and predictive values (=v) are discussed with reference to the tetrachoric correlation model based on the bivariate normal density (e.g. PEARSON, 1901; KENDALL and STUART, 1972, II, p. 317). The result of HAMDAN (1970) concerning the equivalence of the tetrachoric rt and the maximum likelihood estimate of the correlation coefficient is utilized in this paper to obtain a test of significance concerning rt, and also the relation between the tetrachoric function w and the relative risk ψ for the 2X2 table.  相似文献

The aim of this work was to study the effect of the type of substituent of the cellulose ethers and the molecular mass on the state and dynamics of water in the respective hydrogels to specify the quantity of adsorbed water on the polymers or, more explicitly, to calculate the average number of water molecules bound to a polymer repeating unit (PRU).1H NMR relaxation experiments were performed on equilibrated systems of cellulose ether polymers (HEC, HPC, HPMC K4M, and HPMC K100M) with water. In particular, the water proton spinlattice (T 1) and spin-spin (T 2) relaxation times were measured in these systems at room temperature. The observed proton NMRT 1 andT 2 of water in hydrogels at different cellulose ether concentrations at room temperature were shown to decrease with increasing polymer concentration. The relaxation rate 1/T 1 is sensitive to the type of polymer substituent but insensitive to the polymer molecular mass. The rate 1/T 2 appears much less influenced by the polymer substitution. The procedure developed for calculating the amount of water bound per PRU, based on the analysis of theT 1 andT 2 data, shows that this amount is the largest for HPC followed by HEC, HP MC K4M, and HPMC K100M. The results correlate well with the degree of hydrophilic substitution of the polymer chains. This NMR analysis deals with a single molecular layer of adsorbed water for the investigated cellulose ether polymers at all concentrations, while the rest of the water in the hydrogel is bulk-like. Therefore, the mesh size of polymer network in the view of a single molecular layer is not effectively changed.  相似文献

The synthesis and T1 and T2 relaxivities of the Cr(III)-(NH2)-Sar-cage complex is reported. An outer-sphere relaxation mechanism is postulated for the relaxivity of the complex. Tissue distribution studies in mice using a [57Co]cobalt analogue as a radioactive tracer showed that the complex is excreted rapidly in the urine. Some renal uptake of the complex is seen. Appreciable uptake of labelled cage complex was observed in 3-methylcholanthrene induced murine rhabdomyosarcoma.  相似文献

To estimate the net rate of translocation in leaves of a larch stand, a new approach based on the summation method was proposed and given by a compartment model. The difference between the rate of translocation into and out of leaf biomass, namely, the net translocation rate (ΔT r t), was usually expressed by the difference between the growth rate of leaf biomass and the surplus production rate provided that the rate of leaf loss due to leaffall and grazing can be considered negligible. The rate, ΔT r t in a 19-yr-old larch stand, showed characteristic changes; it was positive from early April to late May, but after that it was negative until leaffall in late October. Our results confirmed that for the growth phase of positive ΔT r t translocation of assimilate stored in non-photosynthetic organs was indispensable for the growth. To quantify this, the ratio of ΔT r t to growth rate of leaf biomass was proposed.  相似文献

The proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation of all six amides of deferriferrichrome and of various alumichromes dissolved in hexadeutero-dimethylsulfoxide have been investigated at 100, 220, and 360 MHz. We find that, depending on the type of residue (glycyl or ornithyl), the amide proton relaxation rates are rather uniform in the metal-free cyclohexapeptide. In contrast, the 1H spinlattice relaxation times (T1's) are distinct in the Al3+-coordination derivative. Similar patterns are observed in a number of isomorphic alumichrome homologues that differ in single-site residue substitutions, indicating that the spin-lattice relaxation rate is mainly determined by dipole-dipole interactions within a rigid molecular framework rather than by the specific primary structures. Analysis of the data in terms of 1H—1H distances (r) calculated from X-ray coordinates yields a satisfactory linear fit between T1-1 and Σr-6 at the three magnetic fields. Considering the very sensitive r-dependence of T1, the agreement gives confidence, at a quantitative level, both on the fitness of the crystallographic model to represent the alumichromes' solution conformation and on the validity of assuming isotropic rotational motion for the globular metallopeptides. An extra contribution to the amide proton T1-1 is proposed to mainly originate from the 1H-14N dipolar interaction: this was supported by comparison with measurements on an 15N-enriched peptide. The nitrogen dipolar contribution to the peptide proton relaxation is discussed in the context of {1H}—1H nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) studies because, especially at high fields, it can be dominant in determining the amide proton relaxation rates and hence result in a decreased effectiveness for the 1H—1H dipolar mechanism to cause NOE's. From the slope and intersect values of T1-1 vs. Σr-6 linear plots, a number of independent estimates of τr, the rotational correlation time, were derived. These and the field-dependence of the T1's yield a best estimate <τr> ≈ 0.37 ns, in good agreement with 0.38 ns [unk] <τr> [unk] 0.41 ns, previously determined from 13C and 15N spin-lattice relaxation data.  相似文献

The longitudinal proton magnetic relaxation times T1 were measured for ferri (met)-and carbonmonoxy-bovine haemoglobin and equine myoglobin in 0.1 M KH2PO4 aqueous solutions near pH 6 at 5°C and 35°C from 1.5- to 60-MHz Larmor frequencies. It is concluded that the correlation time τC for the dipole–dipole interaction of electron and nuclear spins is in fact the electron (ferric) spin relaxation time τS being close to 1.5 × 10?10 sec for both metHb and metMb at 5°C. At 35°C the paramagnetic relaxation rates are not determined solely by the relaxation of protons exchanging from the haem pocket with bulk solvent. Hence, τC at 35°C cannot be calculated from the dispersion data obtained at this temperature. The relevance of this for the determination of interspin distances r is discussed.  相似文献

The conformation and dynamic structure of single-stranded poly(inosinic acid), poly(I), in aqueous solution at neutral pH have been investigated by nmr of four nuclei at different frequencies: 1H (90 and 250 MHz), 2H (13.8 MHz), 13C (75.4 MHz), and 31P (36.4 and 111.6 MHz). Measurements of the proton-proton coupling constants and of the 1H and 13C chemical shifts versus temperature show that the ribose is flexible and that base-base stacking is not very significant for concentrations varying from 0.04 to 0.10M in the monomer unit. On the other hand, the proton T1 ratios between the sugar protons, T1 (H1′)/T1 (H3′), indicate a predominance of the anti orientation of the base around the glycosidic bond. The local motions of the ribose and the base were studied at different temperatures by measurements of nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) of protonated carbons, the ratio of the proton relaxation times measured at two frequencies (90 and 250 MHz), and the deuterium quadrupolar transverse relaxation time T2. For a given temperature between 22 and 62°C, the 13C-{1H} NOE value is practically the same for seven protonated carbons (C2, C8, C1′, C2′, C3′, C4′, C5′). This is also true for the T1 ratio of the corresponding protons. Thus, the motion of the ribose–base unit can be considered as isotropic and characterized by a single correlation time, τc, for all protons and carbons. The τc values determined from either the 13C-{1H} NOE or proton T1 ratios, T1(90 MHz)/T1(250 MHz), and/or deuterium transverse relaxation time T2 agree well. The molecular motion of the sugar-phosphate backbone (O-P-O) and the chemical-shift anisotropy (CSA) were deduced from T1 (31P) and 31P-{1H} NOE measurements at two frequencies. The CSA contribution to the phosphorus relaxation is about 12% at 36.4 MHz and 72% at 111.6 MHz, corresponding to a value of 118 ppm for the CSA (σ = σ∥ ? σ?). Activation energies of 2–6 kcal/mol for the motion of the ribose–base unit and the sugarphosphate backbone were evaluated from the proton and phosphorus relaxation data.  相似文献

The length to weight ratio (LWR) was used to estimate populations of four fish species sampled on the Amazon coast of the state of Maranhão, Brazil. The fishes were sampled in 2018 and 2019 by artisanal coastal fishing, using gillnets (0.20–0.60 mm). The parameters a and b of the equation WT = a LTb were estimated. The obtained LWRs were WT = 0.06LT2.93, (r2) = .989 for Oligoplites saliens; WT = 0.061LT2.57, (r2) = .982 for Peprilus crenulatus; WT = 0.014LT2.80, (r2) = .985 for Bagre bagre; and WT = 0.035LT3.21, (r2) = .981 for Nebris microps.  相似文献

Thermoregulatory sweating [total body (m sw,b), chest (m sw,c) and thigh (m sw,t) sweating], body temperatures [oesophageal (T oes) and mean skin temperature (T sk)] and heart rate were investigated in five sleep-deprived subjects (kept awake for 27 h) while exercising on a cycle (45 min at approximately 50% maximal oxygen consumption) in moderate heat (T air andT wall at 35° C. Them sw,c andm sw,t were measured under local thermal clamp (T sk,1), set at 35.5° C. After sleep deprivation, neither the levels of body temperatures (T oes,T sk) nor the levels ofm sw, b,m sw, c orm sw, t differed from control at rest or during exercise steady state. During the transient phase of exercise (whenT sk andT sk,1 were unvarying), them sw, c andm sw, t changes were positively correlated with those ofT oes. The slopes of them sw, c versusT oes, orm sw, t versusT oes relationships remained unchanged between control and sleep-loss experiments. Thus the slopes of the local sweating versusT oes, relationships (m sw, c andm sw, t sweating data pooled which reached 1.05 (SEM 0.14) mg·cm–2·min–1°C–1 and 1.14 (SEM 0.18) mg·cm–2·min–1·°C–1 before and after sleep deprivation) respectively did not differ. However, in our experiment, sleep deprivation significantly increased theT oes threshold for the onset of bothm sw, c andm sw, t (+0.3° C,P<0.001). From our investigations it would seem that the delayed core temperature for sweating onset in sleep-deprived humans, while exercising moderately in the heat, is likely to have been due to alterations occurring at the central level.  相似文献

A simple and sensitive flow injection–chemiluminescence (FI–CL) method has been developed for the determination of puerarin, based on the fact that puerarin can greatly inhibit CL of the luminol–H2O2–haemoglobin system. The inhibition of CL intensity was linear to the logarithm of the concentration of puerarin in the range 0.08–10.0 μg/mL (r2 = 0.9912). The limit of detection was 0.05 μg/mL (3σ) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for 1.0 μg/mL (n = 11) of puerarin solution was 1.4%. Coupled with solid‐phase extraction (SPE) as the sample pretreatment, the determination of puerarin in biological samples and a preliminary pharmocokinetic study of puerarin in rats were performed. The recoveries for plasma and urine at three different concentrations were 89.2–110.0% and 91.4–104.8%, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of puerarin in plasma of rat coincides with the two‐compartment open model. The T1/2α, T1/2β, CL/F, VZ/F, AUC(0 – t), MRT(0 – ∞), Tmax and Cmax were 0.77 ± 0.21 h, 7.55 ± 2.64 h, 2.43 ± 1.02 L/kg/h, 11.40 ± 3.45 L/kg, 56.67 ± 10.65 mg/h/L, 5.04 ± 2.78 h, 1.00 ± 0.35 h and 19.70 ± 4.67 μg/mL, respectively.

Stress-relaxation Properties of the Avena Coleoptile Cell Wall   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Changes in the cell wall properties of Avena coleoptile segments were studied under various conditions by stress-relaxation analysis. Rheological models consisting of four or an infinite number of Maxwell viscoelastic components were used. The stress-relaxation parameters of these models, t1, to, T, Gi and stress/strain ratio, were determined. The following results were obtained. 1. The 1/T1 increased and stress/strain ratio decreased with the age of the coleoptiles. Decapitation caused a decrease in l/t1. 2. Auxin increased I/T1 but decreased to and stress/strain ratio within 5 minutes after application. 3. Treatment with a fungal β-l,3-glucanase increased 1/T1 both in living and methanol-killed, pronase-treated coleoptiles. Cellulase did not cause the changes observed in the parameters of the isolated cell wall of the coleoptile segments. This held true for all treatments (with and without auxin, killed and pronase-treated). The results obtained suggest that auxin primarily causes a partial degradation of the non-cellulosic physaccharide components of the cell wall.  相似文献

Virus-like particles are powerful platforms for the development of functional hybrid materials. Here, we have grown a cross-linked polymer (cross-linked aminoethyl methacrylate) within the confines of the bacteriophage P22 capsid (P22–xAEMA) and functionalized the polymer with various loadings of paramagnetic manganese(III) protoporphyrin IX (MnPP) complexes for evaluation as a macromolecular magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent. The resulting construct (P22–xAEMA–MnPP) has r 1,particle = 7,098 mM?1 s?1 at 298 K and 2.1 T (90 MHz) for a loading of 3,646 MnPP molecules per capsid. The Solomon–Bloembergen–Morgan theory for paramagnetic relaxivity predicts conjugating MnPP to P22, a supramolecular structure, would result in an enhancement in ionic relaxivity; however, all loadings experienced low ionic relaxivities, r 1,ionic, ranging from 1.45 to 3.66 mM?1 s?1, similar to the ionic relaxivity of free MnPP. We hypothesize that intermolecular interactions between neighboring MnPP molecules block access of water to the metal site, resulting in low r 1,ionic relaxivities. We investigated the effect of MnPP interactions on relaxivity further by either blocking or exposing water binding sites on MnPP. On the basis of these results, future design strategies for enhanced r 1,ionic relaxivity are suggested. The measured r 2,ionic relaxivities demonstrated an inverse relationship between loading and relaxivity. This results in a loading-dependent r 2/r 1 behavior of these materials indicating synthetic control over the relaxivity properties, making them interesting alternatives to current magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.  相似文献
