The dynamic or glass transition in biomolecules is important to their functioning. Also essential is the transition between the protein native state and the unfolding process. To better understand these transitions, we use Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to study the vibrational bending and stretching modes of hydrated lysozymes across a wide temperature range. We find that these transitions are triggered by the strong hydrogen bond coupling between the protein and hydration water. More precisely, we demonstrate that in both cases the water properties dominate the evolution of the system. We find that two characteristic temperatures are relevant： in the supercooled regime of confined water, the fragile-to-strong dynamic transition occurs at TL, and in the stable liquid phase, T＊ 315 ± 5 K characterizes the behavior of both isothermal compressibility KT（T, P） and the coefficient of thermal expansion ap（T, P）.

The development of more sensitive diagnostic tools allowing an early-stage and highly efficient medical imaging of tumors remains a challenge. Magnetic nanoparticles seem to be the contrast agents with the highest potential, if properly constructed. Therefore, in this study, hybrid magnetic nanoarchitectures were developed using a new amphiphilic inulin-based graft copolymer (INU-LAPEG-FA) as coating material for 10-nm spinel iron oxide (magnetite, Fe3O4) superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPION). Folic acid (FA) covalently linked to the coating copolymer in order to be exposed onto the nanoparticle surface was chosen as the targeting agent because folate receptors are upregulated in many cancer types. Physicochemical characterization and in vitro biocompatibility study was then performed on the prepared magnetic nanoparticles. The improved targeting and imaging properties of the prepared FA-SPIONs were further evaluated in nude mice using 7-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). FA-SPIONs exhibited the ability to act as efficient contrast agents in conventional MRI, providing a potential nanoplatform not only for tumor diagnosis but also for cancer treatment, through the delivery of anticancer drug or locoregional magnetic hyperthermia.

We study the dynanfics of the first hydration shell of lysozyme to determine the role of hydra- tion water that accompanies lysozyme thermal denaturation. We use nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to investigate both the translational and rotational contributions. Data on proton self-diffusion and reorentational correlation time indicate that the kinetics of the lysozyme fold- ing/unfolding process is controlled by the dynamics of the water molecules in the first hydration shell. When the hydration water dynamics change, because of the weakening of the hydrogen bond network, the three-dimensional structure of the lysozyme is lost and denaturation is triggered. Our data indicates that at temperatures above approximately 315 K, water behaves as a simple liquid and is no longer a good solvent.

Several studies have compared prostate-specific antigen （PSA） kinetics in men with and without cancer, but there has been no adequate analysis of the longitudinal variation in PSA. The aim of this study was to assess the fluctuations in PSA in a cohort of elderly men in an attempt to define a physiological pattern of PSA kinetics. We searched a specific cohort of patients aged 〉 75 years and with PSA value 〈 2.0 ng mL^-1. A history of all PSA values over the past 10 years was compiled for each patient to create a database of patients fitting the following criteria：（1） minimum of five PSA measurements, （2） over at least 5 years. Exclusion criteria were：（1） PSA 〈 0.2 ng mL^-1 at each measurement and （2） having had more than one PSA test per year. In all, 1 327 patients （mean age： 78.52 years） fit the inclusion criteria. The mean variation from the first to the last PSA test was 0.05 ± 0.43, with a mean follow-up of 6.79 ± 1.71 years. Over the same period, the mean fluctuation from the lowest to the highest PSA value was 0.04 ± 0.55 （P = 0.925）. The mean annual PSA velocity （PSAV） was calculated by dividing the mean variation from the first to the last PSA test by the number of years of observation for each patient and was set at 0.0104 ± 0.1050. Concluding, in a large-scale cohort of elderly individuals considered healthy and evaluated for a considerable follow-up, the average annual PSAV as well as the average fluctuation from the lowest to the highest PSA value are insignificant.

The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy and reliability of 2 optical chlorophyll meters:FieldScout CM 1,000 NDVI and Yara N-Tester, in predicting neutral detergent fibre(NDF), acid detergent fibre(ADF), acid detergent lignin(ADL), acid detergent insoluble nitrogen(ADIN) and in vitro ruminal organic matter degradability(IVOMD) of 3 tropical grasses. Optical chlorophyll measurements were taken at 3 stages(4, 8 and 12 weeks) of regrowth in Brachiaria hybrid, and Megathyrsus maximus and at 6 and 12 weeks of regrowth in Paspalum atratum(cv. Ubon). Optical chlorophyll measurements showed the highest correlation(r = 0.57 to 0.85) with NDF concentration. The FieldScout CM 1,000 NDVI was better than the Yara N-Tester in predicting NDF(R^2 = 0.70) and ADF(R^2 = 0.79) concentrations in Brachiaria hybrid and NDF(R^2 = 0.79) in M. maximus. Similarly, FieldScout CM 1,000 NDVI produced better estimates of 24 h IVOMD(IVOMD_(24 h)) in Brachiaria hybrid(R^2 = 0.81) and IVOMD_(48 h) in Brachiaria hybrid(R^2 = 0.65) and M. maximus(R^2 = 0.75). However, these prediction models had relatively low concordance correlation coefficients, i.e., CCC >0.90, but random errors were the main source of bias. It was,therefore, concluded that both optical chlorophyll meters were poor and unreliable predictors of ADIN and ADL concentrations. Overall, the FieldScout CM 1,000 NDVI shows potential to produce useful estimates of IVOMD_(24h) and ADF in Brachiaria hybrid and IVOMD_(48 h) and NDF concentrations in M. maximus.
