The specific mechanism underlying the effect of changes in brain iron content on the development of RBD secondary to PD remains unclear. 27 PD patients with secondary RBD (PD-RBD), 24 PD patients without RBD (PD-RBD), and 32 healthy controls (HCs) were included. Paramagnetic susceptibility was isolated using APART-QSM. The QSM and paramagnetic susceptibility (χ) values of the whole brain and subcortical nuclei were compared among groups. The diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Compared with PD-RBD, PD-RBD patients presented a lower χ value in the left middle temporal gyrus. The QSM and χ values of bilateral substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) were increased in both groups. The diagnostic performance of the combined index of χ values was superior to that of the QSM value or the single index. In conclusion, paramagnetic susceptibility isolated from QSM is helpful for iron quantification and exploring the mechanism of PD-RBD.

In this study, a novel riboflavin-mediated nanoscale zero-valent iron/peracetic acid system (RF/nZVI/PAA) was constructed to increase the removal of norfloxacin. Under the optimal conditions (PAA=10 mg/L, nZVI=20 mg/L, RF= 1 mg/L, and initial pH =4), complete norfloxacin removal was achieved within 30 min, accompanied by a 70 % mineralization rate. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy combined with quenching experiments quantitatively identified hydroxyl radical, carbon-centered radical, and singlet oxygen as the predominant reactive oxidative species (ROS) responsible for norfloxacin removal, with contributions of 42 %, 44 %, and 10 %, respectively.

Purpose: -separation is an advanced quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) method that is designed to generate paramagnetic ( ) and diamagnetic ( ) susceptibility maps, reflecting the distribution of iron and myelin in the brain. However, vessels have shown artifacts, interfering with the accurate quantification of iron and myelin in applications. To address this challenge, a new vessel segmentation method for -separation is developed.

Ternary actinide compounds allow for a range of oxidation states and a rich but often not well-known chemistry. Here, a BaO-deficient plutonium-containing perovskite with a composition close to BaPuO has been obtained via solid state synthesis. The compound was characterised using X-Ray Diffraction from room temperature up to 1473 K, revealing two phase transitions and ordered Ba-deficiency.

Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs), identified using susceptibility-sensitive sequences, are established prognostic imaging markers for multiple sclerosis (MS). However, susceptibility-sensitive sequences are not yet routinely performed in many clinical centers. We aim to investigate an imaging feature observed on conventional T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences, termed "FLAIR hyper-rim", and explore its association with PRLs.

Objectives: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) has been used to classify chronic white matter lesions (WMLs) in multiple sclerosis (MS), which exhibit varying myelin and iron content. Compared to QSM, subvoxel-QSM can further differentiate susceptibility alterations arising from demyelination and iron accumulation. This study aims to evaluate the performance of subvoxel-QSM in classifying chronic WMLs in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and explore their heterogeneity.
