Abstract
BACKGROUND Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in human brains, playing a role in the pathogenesis of various psychiatric disorders. Current methods have some non-neglectable shortcomings and noninvasive and accurate detection of GABA in human brains is long-term challenge. PURPOSE To develop a pulse sequence capable of selectively detecting and quantifying the 1 H signal of GABA in human brains based on optimal controlled spin singlet order. STUDY TYPE Prospective. SUBJECTS/PHANTOM A phantom of GABA (pH = 7.3 ± 0.1) and 11 healthy subjects (5 females and 6 males, body mass index: 21 ± 3 kg/m2 , age: 25 ± 4 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE 7 Tesla, 3 Tesla, GABA-targeted magnetic resonance spectroscopy (GABA-MRS-7 T, GABA-MRS-3 T), magnetization prepared two rapid acquisition gradient echoes sequence. ASSESSMENT By using the developed pulse sequences applied on the phantom and healthy subjects, the signals of GABA were successfully selectively probed. Quantification of the signals yields the concentration of GABA in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) in human brains. STATISTICAL TESTS Frequency. RESULTS The 1 H signals of GABA in the phantom and in the human brains of healthy subjects were successfully detected. The concentration of GABA in the dACC of human brains was 3.3 ± 1.5 mM. DATA CONCLUSION The developed pulse sequences can be used to selectively probe the 1 H MR signals of GABA in human brains in vivo. EVIDENCE LEVEL 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY STAGE: 1.

Abstract
PURPOSE The signals of glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) are often significantly overlapped in routine 1 H-MR spectra of human brain in vivo. Selectively probing the signals of Glu and Gln in vivo is very important for the study of the metabolisms in which Glu and Gln are involved. METHODS The Glu-/Gln- targeted pulse sequences are developed to selectively probe the signals of Glu and Gln. The core part of the Glu-/Gln- targeted pulse sequences lies on the preparation of the nuclear spin singlet orders (SSOs) of the five-spin systems of Glu and Gln. The optimal control method is used to prepare the SSOs of Glu and Gln with high efficiency. RESULTS The Glu-/Gln- targeted pulse sequences have been applied on phantoms to selectively probe the signals of Glu and Gln. Moreover, in the in vivo experiments, the signals of Glu and Gln in human brains of healthy subjects have been successfully probed separately. CONCLUSION The developed Glu-/Gln- targeted pulse sequences can be used to distinguish the 1 H-MR signals of Glu and Gln in human brains in vivo. The optimal control method provides an effective way to prepare the SSO of a specific spin system with high efficiency and in turn selectively probe the signals of a targeted molecule.

Abstract
Selectively probing specific molecules in complex mixtures with nuclear magnetic resonance promises new insights into molecular structures or molecular interaction. Such a study often can be further facilitated when two or more objects in chemical moieties of interest can be precisely targeted. Herein, we proposed a novel method to implement the multiple-targeting signal selection by optimal control of the spin singlets of two or more targeted spin systems from one or more molecules. This method can endow the conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic resonance image (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectrum (MRS) with the multiple-targeting signal selectivity to selectively probe several targeted molecules and/or chemical groups simultaneously.

Abstract
Most current approaches applied for the essential identification of adulteration in edible vegetable oils are of limited practical benefit because they require long analysis times, professional training, and costly instrumentation. The present work addresses this issue by developing a novel simple, accurate, and rapid identification approach based on the magnetic resonance relaxation fingerprints obtained from low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements of edible vegetable oils. The relaxation fingerprints obtained for six types of edible vegetable oil, including flaxseed oil, olive oil, soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, and sunflower oil, are demonstrated to have sufficiently unique characteristics to enable the identification of the individual types of oil in a sample. By using principal component analysis, three characteristic regions in the fingerprints were screened out to create a novel three-dimensional characteristic coordination system for oil discrimination and adulteration identification. Univariate analysis and partial least squares regression were used to successfully quantify the oil adulteration in adulterated binary oil samples, indicating the great potential of the present approach on both identification and quantification of edible oil adulteration.

Abstract
Schistosoma mansoni adult worm antigens were tested for cross-reactions with sera obtained from patients infected with S. japonicum. The sera consistently recognized a doublet of bands, in immunoblots, which had molecular weights of approximately 31 and 32 kilodaltons (kD). This reaction was found to be markedly reduced with sera of patients who had received chemotherapy and who had a low risk of reinfection. Sera obtained from uninfected persons or from patients infected with other parasites never reacted with the antigen doublet. Schistosoma japonicum-infected mice produced antibodies during prepatency which predominantly recognized antigens of this molecular weight range in immunoblots performed with S. mansoni or S. japonicum proteins. Sera from S. mansoni-infected patients with a high specificity for the diagnostic S. mansoni-antigen cross-reacted with a corresponding component also in S. japonicum worms. Immunofluorescence assays performed with sera of schistosomiasis japonica patients confirmed earlier results localizing the diagnostic 31/32 kD antigens in the gut of S. mansoni. These cross-reacting 31/32 kD S. mansoni protein antigens may be applied for the immunodiagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.
