A new noninvasive, nonradioactive approach for glucose imaging using spin hyperpolarization technology and stable isotope labeling is presented. A glucose analog labeled with (13)C at all six positions increased the overall hyperpolarized imaging signal; deuteration at all seven directly bonded proton positions prolonged the spin-lattice relaxation time. High-bandwidth (13)C imaging overcame the large glucose carbon chemical shift dispersion. Hyperpolarized glucose images in the live rat showed time-dependent organ distribution patterns. At 8 s after the start of bolus injection, the inferior vena cava was demonstrated at angiographic quality. Distribution of hyperpolarized glucose in the kidneys, vasculature, and heart was demonstrated at 12 and 20 s. The heart-to-vasculature intensity ratio at 20 s suggests myocardial uptake. Cancer imaging, currently performed with (18)F-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET), warrants further investigation, and glucose imaging could be useful in a vast range of clinical conditions and research fields where the radiation associated with the FDG-PET examination limits its use.

It remains unclear why unilateral proximal carotid artery occlusion (UCAO) causes benign oligemia in mice, yet leads to various outcomes (asymptomatic-to-death) in humans. We hypothesized that inhibition of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) both transforms UCAO-mediated oligemia into full infarction and expands pre-existing infarction. Using 900 mice, we i) investigated stroke-related effects of UCAO with/without intraperitoneal administration of the NOS inhibitor (NOSi) N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, 400 mg/kg); ii) examined the rescue effect of the NO-donor, molsidomine (200 mg/kg at 30 minutes); and iii) tested the impact of antiplatelet medications.

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), a rare pediatric soft tissue neoplasm, predominantly develops in late childhood and adolescence with no discernible gender bias. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) stems from mesenchymal cells and may develop most frequently in the trunk, extremities, and head/neck areas, while occurrences in the pelvic cavity are less frequent. The manifestation is typically characterized by a high rate of aggressive metastasis and a poor overall survival prognosis.

Dysfunctional tumor vasculature, hypoxia, and an immunosuppressive microenvironment are significant barriers to effective cancer therapy. Autophagy, which is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis and apoptosis resistance, is primarily triggered by hypoxia and nutrient deprivation, conditions prevalent in dysfunctional tumor vessels due to poor circulation. However, the role of autophagy in dysfunctional tumor endothelial cells and its impact on treatment and the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain poorly understood.
