Magnetic resonance (MR) images were correlated with matched histologic sections of a resected ischemic necrotic femoral head and neck. Preoperative radiographs had revealed Stage 3 ischemic necrosis. Preoperative MR images disclosed foci of abnormally low signal intensity alternating with normal-appearing foci of high signal intensity. Surgical resection of the femoral head and neck was followed by MR imaging and pathologic sectioning, fixation, and staining, enabling the individual sections to be compared with the postoperative MR slices. A subchondral focus of diminished signal intensity was shown to represent saponified fat and consisted of a transudate of proteinaceous material with probable calcifications. The subjacent region of normal, high signal intensity represented "mummified" fat. The next lower stratum of diminished signal intensity was composed of fibrous and vascular tissues and histiocytic infiltrates that had extensively or completely replaced the fatty marrow.

Pathophysiological Significance of α-Synuclein in Sympathetic Nerves: In Vivo Observations.

Background And Objectives: Lewy body diseases (LBDs) such as Parkinson disease (PD) feature increased deposition of α-synuclein (α-syn) in cutaneous sympathetic noradrenergic nerves. The pathophysiologic significance of sympathetic intraneuronal α-syn is unclear. We reviewed data about immunoreactive α-syn, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, a marker of catecholaminergic fibers), and the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) in skin biopsies from control participants and patients with PD, the related LBD pure autonomic failure (PAF), the non-LBD synucleinopathy multiple system atrophy (MSA), or neurologic postacute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (neuro-PASC).

The fluorescence detection of amino compounds and the evaluation of their content in environmental samples are vital, not only for assessing food quality but also for studying soil organic matter. Here, we present the synthesis and application of a novel fluorescent probe, 4-(9-acridone)benzylmethyl carbonochloride (APE-Cl), for detecting amino compounds via a chloroformate reaction with fluorescence detection. The complete derivatization reaction of APE-Cl with amino compounds can be accomplished in aqueous acetonitrile within 5 min at room temperature, using 0.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury is a physiological disruption often caused by trauma, leading to severe physical and psychological effects, including irreversible impairment and disability. Cervical injuries, particularly between C1 and C8, are the most severe, potentially causing diaphragm paralysis and requiring mechanical ventilation. Reduced respiratory muscle strength not only affects respiratory function but also significantly impacts voice, speech, and communication, which are crucial for quality of life.

We synthesized and spectroscopically investigated monolayer (ML) C on the topological insulator (TI) BiTe. This C/BiTe heterostructure is characterized by an excellent translational order in a novel (4 × 4) C superstructure on a (9 × 9) cell of BiTe. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of C/BiTe reveals that ML C accepts electrons from the TI at room temperature, but no charge transfer occurs at low temperatures.
