During the last decades, persistent tris(2,3,5,6-tetrathiaaryl)methyl radicals (TAMs) have attracted much attention due to their applications in oximetry, EPR tomography, and as spin labels in pulsed dipolar EPR spectroscopy. Recently, researchers proposed to use TAM radicals as spin labels and/or a partner for photoinduced spin labels. Thus, the questions of their photochemical stability and mechanism of degradation under UV irradiation have become relevant and important. In this study, steady-state photolysis and flash photolysis of TAM radicals were investigated. A detailed mechanism of TAM phototransformations was proposed and confirmed by NMR, gel permeation chromatography, and mass-spectrometric analyses of the products.

Mixtures of two phospholipids (PLs) with different main phase transition temperatures were investigated. Host PLs (HPLs) were represented by DMPC, DPPC, DSPC, and DMPE. The admixed PL was the spin-labeled phosphatidylcholine 5-PC(1-palmitoyl-2-(5-doxylstearoyl)phosphatidylcholine), with a unique opportunity to monitor the properties and the local environments of all admixed PL molecules using saturation recovery EPR methods.

Background: Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a noninvasive brain perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that has not been assessed in dogs with meningoencephalitis of unknown origin (MUO).
Hypothesis/objectives: Assess brain perfusion changes characteristics before and after medical treatment, and investigate the role of ASL perfusion in the diagnosis and prognosis of MUO in dogs.
Animals: Thirty-one dogs with presumed MUO.
Alterations in hippocampal somatostatin interneurons, GABAergic metabolism, and ASL perfusion in an aged male mouse model of POCD aggravated by sleep fragmentation.

Sleep fragmentation (SF) is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Given the critical roles of somatostatin (SST) interneurons, associated gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic neurotransmitters, and hippocampal perfusion in sleep-related cognition, this study examined changes in these mechanisms in preoperative SF affecting POCD induced by anesthesia/surgery in aged male mice. The Morris water maze (MWM), novel object recognition (NOR), and Y maze tests were utilized to evaluate POCD.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (ASL) and six different diffusion MRI models to differentiate between solid benign and malignant renal tumors.
- The research analyzed data from 89 patients with renal tumors, looking at various parameters from ASL and six diffusion models, with results indicating that the stretched exponential model (SEM) performed best for distinguishing clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) from other types.
- Ultimately, combining ASL with various diffusion models significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy, particularly in identifying ccRCC.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate how well a radiomics signature from arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging can predict and detect kidney damage in diabetic patients and to find imaging risk factors for early renal injury.
- The research involved three groups: healthy volunteers, diabetic individuals with mild kidney issues (microalbuminuria), and patients with severe diabetic nephropathy, using advanced MRI techniques to analyze kidney texture features.
- A variety of machine learning models were employed to create predictive tools that can identify early kidney injury and monitor its progression, linking the radiomics features to biological indicators of kidney health.
