    Abstract This study examined the effect of vitrectomy combined with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling on foveal displacement in 42 eyes with idiopathic macular hole (IMH). A retrospective analysis was conducted to measure various macular hole parameters before surgery, including basal diameter, minimum diameter, hole height, and areas affected by traction such as macular hole area (MHA), macular hole cystoid space area (MHCSA), macular hole retinal area (MHRA), and total area (TA). The results showed a postoperative shift of the fovea towards the optic disc in all cases. Notably, the extent of foveal displacement was significantly linked to the preoperative basal diameter (r

    Abstract A macular hole (MH), particularly an idiopathic macular hole (IMH), is a common cause of central vision loss. Risk factors for nonidiopathic MH include high myopia, cystoid macular edema, inflammation, and trauma. MH is primarily diagnosed using slit-lamp microscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Half of the patients with stage I MHs are treated conservatively and may show spontaneous resolution. The main treatment methods for MHs currently include vitrectomy and stripping of the internal limiting membrane (ILM). However, in some patients, surgery does not lead to anatomical closure. In this review, we summarize the factors influencing the anatomical closure of MHs and analyze the potential underlying mechanisms.

    Abstract Solid tumors such as prostate cancer (PCa) commonly develop an acidic microenvironment with pH 6.5-7.2, owing to heterogeneous perfusion, high metabolic activity, and rapid cell proliferation. In preclinical prostate cancer models, disease progression is associated with a decrease in tumor extracellular pH, suggesting that pH imaging may reflect an imaging biomarker to detect aggressive and high-risk disease. Therefore, we developed a hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI method to image the tumor extracellular pH (pH

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to develop and demonstrate the in vivo feasibility of a 3D stack-of-spiral balanced steady-state free precession(3D-bSSFP) urea sequence, interleaved with a metabolite-specific gradient echo (GRE) sequence for pyruvate and metabolic products, for improving the SNR and spatial resolution of the first hyperpolarized
    Methods: A metabolite-specific bSSFP urea imaging sequence was designed using a urea-specific excitation pulse, optimized TR, and 3D stack-of-spiral readouts. Simulations and phantom studies were performed to validate the spectral response of the sequence. The image quality of urea data acquired by the 3D-bSSFP sequence and the 2D-GRE sequence was evaluated with 2 identical injections of co-hyperpolarized [1-
    Results: Simulations and phantom studies demonstrated that 3D-bSSFP sequence achieved urea-only excitation, while minimally perturbing other metabolites (<1%). An animal study demonstrated that compared to GRE, bSSFP sequence provided an ∼2.5-fold improvement in SNR without perturbing urea or pyruvate kinetics, and bSSFP approach with a shorter spiral readout reduced blurring artifacts caused by J-coupling of [
    Conclusion: The 3D-bSSFP urea sequence with a stack-of-spiral acquisition demonstrated significantly increased SNR and image quality for [

    Abstract Background: Vertebral discitis-osteomyelitis (VDO) is a devastating infection of the spine that is challenging to distinguish from noninfectious mimics using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. We and others have developed novel metabolism-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers for detecting living Staphylococcus aureus and other bacteria in vivo, but their head-to-head performance in a well-validated VDO animal model has not been reported.
    Methods: We compared the performance of several PET radiotracers in a rat model of VDO. [11C]PABA and [18F]FDS were assessed for their ability to distinguish S aureus, the most common non-tuberculous pathogen VDO, from Escherichia coli.
    Results: In the rat S aureus VDO model, [11C]PABA could detect as few as 103 bacteria and exhibited the highest signal-to-background ratio, with a 20-fold increased signal in VDO compared to uninfected tissues. In a proof-of-concept experiment, detection of bacterial infection and discrimination between S aureus and E coli was possible using a combination of [11C]PABA and [18F]FDS.
    Conclusions: Our work reveals that several bacteria-targeted PET radiotracers had sufficient signal to background in a rat model of S aureus VDO to be potentially clinically useful. [11C]PABA was the most promising tracer investigated and warrants further investigation in human VDO.

    Abstract Purpose: The balanced steady-state free precession sequence has been previously explored to improve the efficient use of nonrecoverable hyperpolarized
    Methods: Simulations were performed to evaluate the spectral response of the MS-3DSSFP sequence. Thermal
    Results: Simulations, phantom, and in vivo studies demonstrate that the MS-3DSSFP sequence achieved spectrally selective excitation on lactate while minimally perturbing other metabolites. Compared with MS-GRE sequences, the MS-3DSSFP sequence showed approximately a 2.5-fold SNR improvement for lactate imaging in rat kidneys, prostate tumors in a mouse model, and human kidneys.
