In order to investigate FeSO(4), ZnSO(4) (the two of main metal compositions of Shanghai PM(2.5) (particle matter with those aerodynamical diameter <2.5 microm)) effects on acute lung injury, six solutions contained PM(2.5) aerosol particles, FeSO(4), ZnSO(4) and their mixtures were instilled intratracheally into mouse lungs for experiment. By 2 days after instillation, the live mice were checked in vivo by synchrotron refractive index microradiography. In addition after extracted and examined by dissection, the right lobes of lung were fixed by formalin, then imaged by synchrotron microradiography again. Corresponding parts of those lung tissues were embedded in paraffin for histopathologic study. The synchrotron X-ray microradiographs of live mouse lung showed different lung texture changes after instilled with different toxic solutions. Hemorrhage points in lung were observed more from those mice instilled by FeSO(4) contained toxin solutions groups. Bronchial epithelial hyperplasia can be observed in ZnSO(4) contained solution-instilled groups from histopathologic analysis. It was found that the acute lung injury of mice caused by solution of PM(2.5)+FeSO(4)+ZnSO(4) was more serious than other toxin solutions. Results suggested that FeSO(4) mainly induced hemorrhage and ZnSO(4) mainly induced inflammation and bronchiolar epithelial hyperplasia in the early toxicological effects of PM(2.5).

Objectives: Phosphoryl oligosaccharides of calcium (POs-Ca) are a highly soluble calcium source and can keep the solubility of calcium and fluoride ions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcium (from POs-Ca) and fluoride ions penetrate into subsurface enamel lesions in vitro.
Design: Demineralized bovine enamel slabs were remineralizedin vitro for 24 h at 37 °C with artificial saliva (AS) containing POs-Ca and various fluoride concentrations (0-100 ppm), or AS containing different levels of POs-Ca adjusted to a Ca/P ratio of 0.

A compact and versatile induction furnace for in situ high-resolution synchrotron and laboratory hard X-ray microradiography and computed microtomography is described. The furnace can operate from 773 to 1723 K. Its programmable controller enables the user to specify multiple heating and cooling ramp rates as well as variable dwell times at fixed temperatures allowing precise control of heating and cooling rates to within 5 K.

Dental caries is the most prevalent disease encountered by people of all ages around the world. Chemical changes occurring in the oral environment during the caries process alter the crystallography and microstructure of dental enamel resulting in loss of mechanical function. Little is known about the crystallographic effects of demineralization and remineralization.

Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT)-a version of X-ray CT operating at high spatial resolution-has had a considerable success for the investigation of trabecular bone micro-architecture. Currently, there is a lot of interest in exploiting CT techniques at even higher spatial resolutions to assess bone tissue at the cellular scale. After recalling the basic principles of micro-CT, we review the different existing system, based on either standard X-ray tubes or synchrotron sources.

Plants have efficient water-transporting vascular networks with a self-recovery function from embolism, which causes fatal discontinuity in sap flow. However, the embolism-refilling process in xylem vessel is still unclear. The water-refilling processes in the individual xylem vessels of excised Arabidopsis roots were visualized in this study using synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique with high spatial resolution up to 1 μm per pixel and temporal resolution up to 24 fps.
