Article Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) represents a heterogeneous group of cognitive disturbances at high risk of dementia. The amnestic subtype (aMCI) might be a prodromal state of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study is the identification, by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS), of modifications in brain metabolites able to detect subjects with aMCI at risk of conversion towards AD. Twenty-five subjects with aMCI and 29 normal elderly were enrolled; they underwent a comprehensive clinical and instrumental assessment, a cerebral 1H MRS scan to measure N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), myo-inositol (mI) and creatine (Cr) in the paratrigonal white matter, bilaterally. After 1 year, 5 MCI subjects became demented (progressive MCI, pMCI). Their baseline levels of metabolites were compared with those evaluated in stable MCI (sMCI) and in controls. We observed a significant difference of the NAA/Cr ratio between pMCI (1.48+/-0.08) and sMCI (1.65+/-0.12) and between pMCI and controls (1.63+/-0.16) in the left hemisphere, suggesting that this metabolic alteration can be detected before the clinical appearance of dementia.

To investigate the genetic determinants of fat distribution across anatomical sites and their implications for health outcomes. We analyzed neck-to-knee MRI data from the UK Biobank ( = 37,589) to measure fat at various locations and used Mendelian randomization to assess effects on 26 obesity-related diseases and 94 biomarkers from FinnGen and other consortia. We identified genetic loci associated with 10 fat depots: abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue ( = 2 loci), thigh subcutaneous adipose tissue (25), thigh intermuscular adipose tissue (15), visceral adipose tissue (7), liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) (8), pancreas PDFF (11), paraspinal adipose tissue (9), pelvic bone marrow fat (28), thigh bone marrow fat (27), and vertebrae bone marrow fat (5).

Background: Diniconazole (DCZ) is a poorly water-soluble triazole fungicide. However, the water solubility of DCZ can be significantly enhanced by inclusion complexation with cyclodextrins. In order to improve the properties and bioavailability of pesticide fungicides DCZ, a new system of nanofibers was prepared by electrospinning and cyclodextrin encapsulation.

Pu-erh raw tea (PRT), a post-fermented tea, is prized for its complex flavor profile and health-promoting properties. While extended storage enhances its sensory attributes, the decade-scale metabolic dynamics underpinning flavor evolution remain unexplored. This study comprehensively characterized non-volatile metabolomic profiles and flavor changes in PRT across a 10-year storage period (2012-2023).

A novel medium-current (up to 20 mA), low normalized beam emittance (<1 π mm mrad) electron cyclotron resonance microwave H+ ion source has been developed at the Center for Energy Research in Budapest, Hungary. This high-stability design targets an energy ripple below 1% while delivering a continuous or pulsed proton beam with adjustable pulse duration (0.1-10 ms) and frequency (0.

The dynamics of the different constituents of the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (HmimCl) is investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance including chlorine relaxometry, line shape analysis, and proton-detected diffusometry, as well as frequency-dependent shear mechanical measurements. This combination of techniques is useful to probe the individual motions of the anions and the cations, and the sample's overall flow response. The 35Cl- dynamics appears to be close to the structural (or α-) relaxation as seen by rheology.
