Article Abstract
Introduction: Accurately estimating bone perfusion and metabolism using [F]NaF kinetics from shorter scan times could help address concerns related to patient comfort, motion, and throughput for PET scans. We examined the impact of changing the PET scan duration on the accuracy of [F]NaF kinetic parameters in the knee.
Methods: Both knees of twenty participants with and without osteoarthritis were scanned using a hybrid PET-MRI system (53 ± 13 years, BMI 25.9 ± 4.2 kg/m, 13 female). Seventeen participants were scanned for 54 ± 2 min, and an additional three participants were scanned for 75 min. Patlak and Hawkins kinetic parameters ( , , extraction fraction) were assessed using 50- or 75-minutes of scan data as well as for scan durations that were retrospectively shortened. The error of the kinetic uptake parameters was calculated in bone regions throughout the knee.
Results: The mean error of Patlak , Hawkins , , and extraction fraction was less than 10% for scan durations exceeding 30 min and decreased with increasing scan duration.
Conclusions: The length of dynamic data acquisition can be reduced to as short as 30 min while retaining accuracy within the limits of reproducibility of Hawkins kinetic uptake parameters.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

Escalating concentrations of norfloxacin (NFX) in surface and wastewaters demand sustainable remediation strategies. In this study, dual-functional hydrochars were synthesized from argan nut shells (ArNS) via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC), with process conditions optimized by varying temperature (150-200 °C) and residence time (2-6 h). Among the materials, H1:5@150-4-prepared at 150 °C for 4 h with a biomass-to-water ratio of 1:5-exhibited the best performance, achieving a monolayer NFX adsorption capacity of 27.

Background: Glutamine is an important metabolic substrate in many aggressive tumors, with comparable importance to glucose metabolism. Utilizing human breast cancer mouse xenograft models, we studied the kinetics of the PET imaging agent, L-5-[C]-glutamine ([C]glutamine or [C]GLN) a biochemical authentic substrate for glutamine metabolism, to further characterize the metabolism of glutamine and downstream labeled metabolites. Studies were performed with and without inhibition of the enzyme, glutaminase (GLS), the first step in glutamine catabolism that generates glutamate, and key target for therapy directed to glutamine-metabolizing cancers.

Bioremediation offers a sustainable strategy for mitigating heavy metal contamination in soil, but is often constrained by slow removal kinetics, limited uptake efficiency, and high implementation costs. This study investigates dried mycelium membranes, rich in surface-bound proteins and high surface area, as a promising biosorbent for in situ Pb(II) remediation in urban soils. Untreated mycelium membranes buried in soil achieved Pb(II) removal efficiencies of ∼70 % and ∼40 % at initial lead soil concentrations of 100 mg/kg and 1500 mg/kg, respectively, within eight days.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation. This study aimed to use the sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) targeted tracer [F]TZ4877 with PET/CT to assess synovial inflammation in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse model. [F]TZ4877 and [F]FDG PET/CT imaging were performed on RA ( = 6) and control ( = 6) mice.
