The first example of the use of (195)Pt PGSE diffusion data (D values) to recognize the solvent dependence of aggregation of the hexachloroplatinate dianion in Na(2)PtCl(6) (1) and in H(2)PtCl(6) (2) is reported. In water, the ions are separated; however, in methanol the D values suggest ion pairing and/or aggregation. Additional (1)H and (31)P diffusion data for organometallic Pt complexes trans-PtX(Aryl)(L)(2) (where L = PEt(3) or PPh(3)) and Pt(C(7)H(4)O(2))(L(1))(L(2)) (where L(1) and L(2) = a variety of ligand types) reveal that phenyl phosphines afford relatively large hydrodynamic radii r(h). The presence of a substituent on the aryl ligand of PtX(Aryl)(L)(2) does not markedly affect the D values, whereas a substituent of similar size added to a PPh(3) group in Pt(C(7)H(4)O(2))(L(1))(L(2)) markedly changes both D and r(h) values. There is only a small concentration dependence of the D values in PtX(Aryl)(L)(2) on changing from 2 to 10 mM.

Diffusion time effects over the adult lifespan indicates persistent zone-specific microstructural alterations in the human prostate with aging.
Magn Reson Med
December 2024
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate microstructural changes in the aging adult prostate by comparing the effects of varying diffusion times using diffusion MRI, and to provide an age-related benchmark for future prostate cancer studies.
Methods: The prostates of normal male volunteers (n = 70, 19-69 years) were scanned at 3 T with an oscillating gradient spin echo (OGSE: 6 ms), pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE: 40 ms) and pulsed gradient stimulated echo (PGSTE: 100 ms), and anatomical T-weighted image. Volume and mean diffusivity (MD) were measured in the peripheral (PZ) and transition zones (TZ), which were assessed versus age.
Diffusion of Peptides and Small Molecules Encapsulated in Lipidic Cubic Phases by Band-Selective Excitation Short Transient H PGSE NMR.
J Phys Chem Lett

In model membrane systems, such as lipidic cubic phases (LCPs), H NMR spectra are dominated by resonances from water and lipid molecules. The measurement of translational diffusion of peptides/molecules encapsulated in LCPs using conventional H pulsed-gradient spin-echo (PGSE) NMR is, therefore, immensely difficult due to the dynamic range caused by the intense resonance(s) from the surrounding environment. The present study reports the use of a band-selective short transient PGSE sequence, avoiding the perturbation of both hydration water and lipids, for measuring the diffusion of molecules encapsulated within the lipid bilayer and the aqueous channels of LCPs.

Article Synopsis
- Accurately fitting models for diffusion MRI is challenging due to complex formulas, noise, and limited data, motivating the introduction of a Bayesian methodology for improved microstructural fitting in the IMPULSED model.
- A retrospective study involved 69 pediatric patients with various gliomas, utilizing advanced imaging techniques to collect data on tumor characteristics.
- The Bayesian method showed significantly improved accuracy in fitting key microstructural parameters compared to the traditional NLLS method while maintaining similar diagnostic performance for differentiating tumor grades.
Normal Brain and Brain Tumor ADC: Changes Resulting From Variation of Diffusion Time and/or Echo Time in Pulsed-Gradient Spin Echo Diffusion Imaging.

Objectives: Increasing gradient performance on modern magnetic resonance imaging scanners has profoundly reduced the attainable diffusion and echo times for clinically available pulsed-gradient spin echo (PGSE) sequences. This study investigated how this may impact the measured apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), which is considered an important diagnostic marker for differentiation between normal and abnormal brain tissue and for therapeutic follow-up.
Materials And Methods: Diffusion time and echo time dependence of the ADC were evaluated on a high-performance 3 T magnetic resonance imaging scanner.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers used NMR spectroscopy to study lipid digestion without extracting substances, allowing real-time monitoring of lipolysis with the help of guinea pig pancreatic lipase-related protein 2 (GPLRP2).
- They focused on the digestion of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) mixed with bile salt, noting that lipolysis was complete, resulting in the release of fatty acids.
- The study revealed changes in micelle size during digestion, providing insights into how galactolipids are broken down for better absorption in the intestine.
