Nanomechanical characterization of soft nanomaterial using atomic force microscopy by Chi-Dat Lam, Soyeun Park

“…We comprehensively reviewed experimental techniques and fundamental mathematical models to investigate the mechanical properties, including elastic moduli and binding forces, of soft materials.To determine these mechanical properties, two-dimensional arrays of force-distance (f-d) curves are obtained through AFM indentation experiments using the force volume technique. For elasticity determination, models are divided into approach f-d curve-based models, represented by the Hertz model, and retract f-d curve-based models, exemplified by the Johnson-Kendall-Roberts and Derjaguin-Müller-Toporov models. …”

PET Quantification of Cerebral Oxygen Metabolism in Small Animals by Takashi Temma, Kazuhiro Koshino, Tetsuaki Moriguchi, Jun-ichiro Enmi, Hidehiro Iida

“…Since small animals such as rats are widely used to study various diseases including cerebral ischemia, cerebrovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases, the development of a noninvasive in vivo measurement method of cerebral oxygen metabolic parameters such as oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) as well as cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) has been a priority. Although positron emission tomography (PET) with 15O labeled gas tracers has been recognized as a powerful way to evaluate cerebral oxygen metabolism in humans, this method could not be applied to rats due to technical problems and there were no reports of PET measurement of cerebral oxygen metabolism in rats until an 15O-O2 injection method was developed a decade ago. …”
