Absolute rate constants for the reaction of NADH with thiyl free radicals derived from various sulphur-containing compounds of biological significance were measured by using the technique of pulse radiolysis. These and related reactions with phenoxyl free radicals are believed to occur through one-electron-transfer processes. Further evidence comes from studies with deuterated NADH. The results support the possibility that, in biochemical systems, thiols may act as catalysts linking hydrogen-atom and electron-transfer reactions.

The study presents two imported malaria cases with a history of travel to malaria-endemic areas and replied late response to treatment. In the blood preparations of the first case, dot-shaped nucleus structures were identified in the erythrocytes, which looked different from the classical erythrocytic forms. In the SD-Pf/Pan test, bands were obtained for both P.

Hemodynamic measurements such as cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) can provide useful information for the diagnosis and characterization of brain tumors. Previous work showed that arterial spin labeling (ASL) in combination with vasoactive stimulation enabled simultaneous non-invasive evaluation of both parameters, however this approach had not been previously tested in tumors. The aim of this work was to investigate the application of this technique, using a pseudo-continuous ASL (PCASL) sequence combined with breath-holding at 3 T, to measure CBF and CVR in high-grade gliomas and metastatic lesions, and to explore differences across tumoral-peritumoral regions and tumor types.

Photoimmunotherapy, which combines phototherapy with immunotherapy, exhibits significantly improved therapeutic effects compared with mono-treatment regimens. However, its use is associated with drawbacks, such as insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and uneven photosensitizer distribution. To address these issues, we developed a controllable, targeted nanosystem that enhances oxidative stress through multiple pathways, achieving synergistic photothermal, photodynamic, and immunotherapy effects for tumor treatment.

Background: The cryoinjury of semen during cryopreservation reduces sperm motility, constraining the application of artificial insemination (AI) in bovine reproduction. Some fertility markers, related to sperm motility before and after freezing have been identified. However, little is known about the biological mechanism through which freezing reduces sperm motility.
