Fig. 3. DWSI of rat brain using (a) DW-EPSI and (b) DW-LSEPSI. The left images show NAA maps and the right graphs show average spectra in the red rectangles in the left images. Yellow lines in the left images show edges of a rat head. (c) ADC map of NAA using DW-LSEPSI. Color represents ADC value. Fig. 1. Sequence diagram of DW-LSEPSI.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of growth regulator NAA on in vitro shoot proliferation, rooting, and plantlet establishment. Among the different concentrations of NAA, the best increase in shoot weight (0.25 g) and shoot number (8.83) were observed from 0.1 mg/I NAA. The highest shoot length (2.60 cm), number of leaves (4.83), number of roots (5.15), and root length (...

Broussonetia papyrifera is an important ecological and economic tree species. The sexual reproduction of B. not only has a low germination rate, but also requires high environmental conditions. Therefore, asexual propagation using tissue culture can effectively improve the efficiency papyrifera. In this study, leaves budded shoots were used as explants, different concentrations plant growth reg...

To establish an efficient plant regeneration system of Cassia mimosoides, the 10-day-old seedlings were used as explants for inducing lateral buds. Results showed that addition BA and NAA different ratios on basis 1/2 MS could effectively induce production By adding additional elements, it was found growth buds longer stronger medium + 3.0 mg/l 0.1 4.0 Gln or 1.0 AgNO3. Meanwhile, cutting with ...

Effects of foliar spray NAA, 2, 4-D and urea on fruit yield quality Citrus limon (L.) Burm. cv. Assam lemon was studied. Nine treatments were imposed in RBD for two seasons (summer winter). Among the T6 (NAA @ 20 ppm + 2,4-D 1% urea) maximum pulp content (81.58 g/fruit), juice (40.47 ml/fruit), reducing sugar (0.51%) ascorbic acid (48.56 mg/100 g) recorded. Whereas, TSS (9.88%), total (1.66%) w...

Neuroglial tumors contain both neuronal and glial elements and are the slowest growing CNS tumors, we report our experience in MR proton single voxel and CSI spectroscopy in 6 neuroglial tumors: gangliocytoma(1), gangliogliomas(4) and DIG(1), all classified as favorable low grade WHO grade I tumors. These tumors all have good prognoses but are rare entities, with the commonest, gangioglioma, re...

PURPOSE To investigate the correlates of a clinical therapeutic response by using the parameters measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy after the administration of atypical antipsychotics. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-five antipsychotic-naïve first-episode patients with schizophrenia were monitored for 12 months. The patients were evaluated using (1)H magnetic resonance spectroscop...

[1] Recent findings indicate that ENSO may modulate the strength of the Indian monsoons by altering the meridional tropospheric temperature gradient between Asia and the equatorial Indian Ocean. Here we show that during northern hemisphere summertime El Niño events both colder upper tropospheric temperatures and increased vorticity anomalies are observed within the North African-Asian (NAA) jet...

Reduced N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) levels have been reported in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in patients with schizophrenia using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. However, it is unclear whether this NAA reduction predates the illness onset and is reported in subjects at-risk for developing schizophrenia (HRS). The aim of this study was to assess NAA levels in the PFC in HRS. We hypothesized...
