The electron spin resonance spectra of 16-doxyl stearic acid (16-SA) incorporated into synaptosomes mostly showed a fluid lipid component and a minor motionally-restricted component (MRC) of the molar fraction of 10-20%, measured at 0 degree C. At 10 mmol/l concentration, thioridazine (TRZ), chlorpromazine (CPZ), chlorprothixene (CPT), perphenazine (PFZ) and levopromazine (LPZ) raised the MRC m...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Colonoscopy is the preferred screening test for colorectal neoplasia; the fecal occult blood test (FOBT) detects neoplasias with low levels of sensitivity. Computed tomographic colonography detects neoplasias with high levels of sensitivity but involves exposure to radiation. We investigated whether magnetic resonance colonography (MRC) can be used to screen for colorectal ade...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance colonography (MRC) for its ability to detect and quantify inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting the colon. Endoscopically obtained histopathology specimens were used as the standard of reference. Materials and methods: Fifteen normal subjects and 23 patients with suspected IBD of the large b...

BACKGROUND Aging is associated with increased oxidative damage at multiple cellular and tissular levels. A decrease in mitochondrial function has repeatedly been advocated as a primary key event, especially on the basis of analysis of skeletal muscle mitochondria. However, some doubts on this issue have arisen when confounding variables (such as physical activity or smoking habit) have been tak...

We report the utility of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) using gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) in the diagnosis of bronchobiliary fistula associated with liver hydatid cyst. Contrast-enhanced MRC clearly delineated the leakage of contrast agent from the biliary duct and its communication with the bronchial tree. Providing functional information about physiologic or patho...

This paper summarizes ongoing work concerning micro-rotorcraft (MRC) – i.e., rotary-wing micro air vehicles (MAV) – research and development. Technology trends involving microelectronic miniaturization, vehicle autonomy systems, electric propulsion and power electronics are contributing to an ongoing revolution in MAV and MRC aerial vehicle concepts and applications. New vehicle configurations ...
