Article Abstract

Abnormally high deposition of iron can contribute to neurodegenerative disorders with cognitive impairment. Since previous studies investigating cognition-brain iron accumulation relationships focused on elderly people, our aim was to explore the association between iron concentration in subcortical nuclei and two types of memory performances in a healthy young population. Gender difference was found only in the globus pallidus. Our results showed that iron load characterized by R2* value on the MRI in the caudate and putamen was related to visual memory, while verbal memory was unrelated to iron concentration.

A novel magnetic nanostructured molecularly imprinted polymer probe (FeO@MIP) was developed for the continuous detection of Ti/Fe. The synthesis employed 50 nm FeO nanoparticles as the core matrix, with Ti and Fe serving as template molecules. Functional monomers α-methylacrylic acid (MAA) and acrylamide (AM) were used, along with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the crosslinking agent and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the polymerization initiator, utilizing a microwave-assisted procedure.

Background And Purpose: Several studies have shown changes in neurochemicals within the deep-brain nuclei of patients with psychosis. These alterations indicate a dysfunction in dopamine within subcortical regions affected by fluctuations in iron concentrations. Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is a method employed to measure iron concentration, offering a potential means to identify dopamine dysfunction in these subcortical areas.

While organic manure application effectively increases soil organic carbon (SOC) content, it may elevate greenhouse gas emissions. Crop straw, a widely available agricultural residue, enhances SOC through gradual decomposition. The effect of organic manure combined with crop straw on the organic carbon components of paddy soil is still unclear.
