Selected ⁶⁸Ga-siderophores versus ⁶⁸Ga-colloid and ⁶⁸Ga-citrate: biodistribution and small animal imaging in mice.

Background: (68)Ga-triacetylfusarinine C (TAFC) and (68)Ga-ferrioxamine E (FOXE) show great potential to be used as highly sensitive and selective tracers for Aspergillus infection imaging. Here we report on a comparison of the ex vivo biodistribution and small animal imaging of (68)Ga-TAFC and (68)Ga-FOXE versus (68)Ga-colloid and (68)Ga-citrate as unspecific control in mice.

Methods: The radiochemical purity of tested (68)Ga labelled tracers was determined by RP-HPLC or ITLC-SG.

[Another mechanism of décollement].

The cause of décollement is usually considered to be tangential brute blunt force impacting the body surface especially in case of hitting or running-over injury of the pedestrian's body by a car. The term rolling effect or rolling mechanism is used as well. The dissociation of tissue layers with other epiphenomenon occurs.

[The correlation of results of breath analysers and laboratory blood examinations of blood-ethanol concentration (Czech and Slovak study)].

The target of this study was to compare the results of breath analysers and "lege artis" laboratory blood examinations when determining alcohol levels. This was then used to determine whether any differences exist between the two methods, and how large these differences are. 610 cases from 11 workplaces in the Czech Republic and Slovakia were analysed.

Cold acclimation of the Arabidopsis dgd1 mutant results in recovery from photosystem I-limited photosynthesis.

We compared the thylakoid membrane composition and photosynthetic properties of non- and cold-acclimated leaves from the dgd1 mutant (lacking >90% of digalactosyl-diacylglycerol; DGDG) and wild type (WT) Arabidopsis thaliana. In contrast to warm grown plants, cold-acclimated dgd1 leaves recovered pigment-protein pools and photosynthetic function equivalent to WT. Surprisingly, this recovery was not correlated with an increase in DGDG.
