The field of dynamic nuclear polarization has undergone tremendous developments and diversification since its inception more than 6 decades ago. In this review we provide an in-depth overview of the relevant topics involved in DNP-enhanced MAS NMR spectroscopy. This includes the theoretical description of DNP mechanisms as well as of the polarization transfer pathways that can lead to a uniform or selective spreading of polarization between nuclear spins. Furthermore, we cover historical and state-of-the art aspects of dedicated instrumentation, polarizing agents, and optimization techniques for efficient MAS DNP. Finally, we present an extensive overview on applications in the fields of structural biology and materials science, which underlines that MAS DNP has moved far beyond the proof-of-concept stage and has become an important tool for research in these fields.

Uvaol attenuates TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition in human alveolar epithelial cells by modulating expression and membrane localization of β-catenin.

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process in which epithelial cells change into mesenchymal cells with fibroblast-like characteristics. EMT plays a crucial role in the progression of fibrosis. Classical inducers associated with the maintenance of EMT, such as TGF-β1, have become targets of several anti-EMT therapeutic strategies.

Background: This study aimed to comprehensively assess the global, regional, and national burden of esophageal cancer (EC) attributable to inadequate vegetable and fruit intake from 1990 to 2019 and explore the potential impact of existing dietary intervention programs on EC prevention.
Methods: Using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019) database, we conducted descriptive analyses stratified by age, sex, Socio-demographic Index (SDI), and regional levels. Temporal trends were assessed using linear regression models, and cluster analysis was employed to explore burden patterns across different GBD regions.
The rotation method for correcting renal depth in the determination of glomerular filtration rate using Tc-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-based renal dynamic imaging in patients with hydronephrosis.

Background: Kidney depth significantly affects the accuracy of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) measurement, and hydronephrosis-induced morphological changes further challenge its estimation through traditional formulas. This study evaluated the rotation method's efficacy in correcting kidney depth and depth difference during Tc-99m diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) renal dynamic imaging for GFR assessment.
Methods: This study analyzed 66 individuals treated at First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University with unilateral hydronephrosis between January 2022 and June 2023.
Methods for tissue perfusion assessment after Dellon decompression of tarsal tunnels in diabetic neuropathy: key to effective management-a narrative review.
Quant Imaging Med Surg

Division of Plastic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background And Objective: Diabetic neuropathy significantly elevates the risk of foot ulceration and lower-limb amputation, underscoring the need for precise assessment of tissue perfusion to optimize management. This narrative review explores the intricate relationship between sympathetic nerves and tissue perfusion in diabetic neuropathy, highlighting the important role of autonomic neuropathy in blood flow dynamics and subsequent compromises in tissue perfusion. The consequences extend to the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy and related foot complications.

Department of Nuclear Medicine, First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University.
Objectives: To investigate the effects of selenium on functional and histopathological changes and mRNA expression levels of insulin-like growth factors 1 and 2 (IGF-1 and -2) and aquaporins 4 and 5 (AQP-4 and -5) in 131I-induced damaged rat parotid glands.
Methods: Rats were divided into three groups: iodotherapy-with-selenium, iodotherapy-only, and control. Rats in the iodotherapy-with-selenium group were intragastrically administered 131I on the first day and selenomethionine through drinking water.
