Plasma and fractionated lipoproteins from 40 Lewis Lung Carcinoma grafted mice were tested from the first day up to the fatal issue by biochemical analyses and water suppressed 1H NMR spectroscopy. We have confirmed first, that the 1H NMR spectra of plasma lipoproteins are modified by the tumoral state and could provide a useful marker of the disease as long as they are used for individual follow-up with appropriate spectral parameters. Using fractionated lipoproteins we have demonstrated secondly, that the observed spectral modifications do not result from a specific cancer lipoprotein but from quantitatively modified ratio between Very Light Density Lipoproteins and High Density Lipoproteins.

Metabolic changes of thalamus assessed by H-MRS spectroscopy in patients of cervical spondylotic myelopathy following decompression surgery.

Objective: To assess the changes of thalamic metabolites before and after surgery in patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM) using Hydrogen Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (H-MRS) and to investigate its association with improvement in neurological function.
Methods: Forty-eight CSM patients who underwent cervical decompression surgery from December 2022 to June 2023 were included, and 33 healthy volunteers were recruited. All subjects underwent bilateral thalamic H-MRS scans before the surgical procedure, and subsequently again 6 months later.
Dissecting the biophysical mechanisms of oleate hydratase association with membranes.

This study investigates the dynamics of oleate hydratase (OhyA), a bacterial flavoenzyme from , and its interactions with lipid membranes, focusing on the factors influencing membrane binding and oligomerization. OhyA catalyzes the hydration of unsaturated fatty acids, playing a key role in bacterial pathogenesis by neutralizing host antimicrobial fatty acids. OhyA binds the membrane bilayer to access membrane-embedded substrates for catalysis, and structural studies have revealed that OhyA forms oligomers on membrane surfaces, stabilized by both protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions.

Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic intellectual disorder caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 (Hsa21) and presents with a variety of phenotypes. The correlation between the chromosomal abnormality and the resulting symptoms is unclear, partly due to the spectrum of impairments observed. However, it has been determined that trisomy 21 contributes to neurodegeneration and impaired neurodevelopment resulting from decreased neurotransmission, neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity.

2-Thiohydantoin derivatives, including different substitutions at N-1 and C-5 (5-methyl-, 5-isopropyl-, 1-acetyl-5-methyl-, and 1-acetyl-5-isopropyl-) (1-4, respectively), were synthesized by the known literature methods. In these synthetic pathways, it was reported that enantiomerically pure 2-thiohydantions were obtained in the absence of any solvent via the reaction of L-amino acids with thiourea (1&2) and via the reaction of L-amino acids with NHSCN and acetic anhydride (3&4). However, in this study, in contrary to the previous literature studies, racemic mixtures of 2-thiohydantoins were obtained although the same synthetic methods were used.

The purpose of this study was to measure T and T relaxation times of NAD proton resonances in the downfield H MRS spectrum in human brain at 7 T in vivo and to assess the propagation of relaxation time uncertainty in NAD quantification. Downfield spectra from eight healthy volunteers were acquired at multiple echo times to measure T relaxation times, and saturation recovery data were acquired to measure T relaxation times. The downfield acquisition used a spectrally selective 90° sinc pulse for excitation centered at 9.
