Ultrasonic relaxation spectra were determined for lower vicinal and terminal alkanediols at ambient pressure and a temperature of 298.15 K. The ultrasound absorption measurements were made by means of the standard pulse technique for 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, and 1,5-pentanediol within the frequency range of 5-300 or 10-300 MHz. Relaxation processes were observed for all compounds except 1,2-ethanediol. The relaxation regions were dependent on both the carbon chain length and the position of hydroxyl groups. In addition, the terminal diols showed lower absorption than the adequate vicinal diols did. The results are discussed in terms of molecular structure and molecular interactions, as well as compared with the behavior of adequate lower 1-alkanols. A comparison with classical absorption is also made. The results are discussed in term of shear viscosity relaxation.

Background: Patients with essential hypertension have a high risk of muscle mass and strength decline. Ultrasound is a promising method for assessing sarcopenia. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between ultrasound and shear-wave elastography (SWE) features, and muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance, and to assess the clinical applicability of ultrasound in the diagnosis of sarcopenia in patients with essential hypertension.

Background: Several chemical studies described the physiological efficacy of 1,4- dihydropyridines (DHPs). DHPs bind to specific sites on the α1 subunit of L-type calcium channels, where they demonstrate a more pronounced inhibition of Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle compared to myocardial tissue. This selective inhibition is the basis for their preferential vasodilatory action on peripheral and coronary arteries, a characteristic that underlies their therapeutic utility in managing hypertension and angina.

Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a technique that quantifies tissue stiffness by assessing the speed of shear waves propagating after being excited by acoustic radiation force. SWE allows the quantification of elastic tissue properties and serves as an adjunct to conventional ultrasound techniques, aiding in tissue characterization. To capture this transient propagation of the shear wave, the ultrasound device must be able to reach very high frame rates.

Enhanced Antimicrobial Efficiency of Gold Nanoclusters via Improved Sonodynamic Activity and Out-Membrane Crossing Capacity.

Department of Oral Implantology, School and Hospital of Stomatology, Jilin University, Changchun 130021, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy (SDT) shows potential in clinical settings due to its safety, noninvasiveness, and lack of resistance issues, but finding efficient sonodynamic sensitizers is challenging.
  • Researchers have introduced gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) as promising sonodynamic sensitizers, demonstrating significant antimicrobial effectiveness for infected wound treatment.
  • The combination of l-arginine (Arg) and 6-azido-2-thiothymidine (ATT) with Au NCs enhances their structural strength and increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, resulting in a dramatic reduction of microbial viability inside bacterial cells.

Recent 15N R1ρ-relaxation studies have shown that proteins in the solid state undergo slow, low amplitude global motion in the sub-millisecond time range. This range is at the edge of the time window for R1ρ experiments and, therefore, the motional parameters obtained by this method are not precise or reliable. In this paper, we present a 2H stimulated echo study of this type of molecular dynamics.
