Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study on the Functional Connectivity of Amygdalar Subregions in Patients with Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain by CHEN Xiaolin, LIU Hong, GAO Zhen, WU Mengjiao, FAN Cheng, JIANG Zheng

“…ObjectiveTo observe the resting-state functional connectivity changes of amygdalar subregions as well as relationship with pain intensity and negative emotion states in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).MethodsA total of 31 patients with CNLBP (CNLBP group) and 31 healthy control population (healthy control group) with age and gender matched were recruited in the community around Pingshan campus of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to perform clinical evaluation and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. Pain visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain intensity; Beck depression inventory-Ⅱ (BDI-Ⅱ), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) and fear avoidance beliefs questionnaires (FABQ) were used to evaluate the negative emotion states; Brain imaging data was preprocessed by using CONN 20.b toolbox, three subregions of bilateral amygdala [centromedial (CM), laterobasal (LB) and superficial (SF) areas] were chosen as the regions of interest via using SPM Anatomy 2.2b toolbox, and whole brain functional connectivity was calculated for each subject. …”

Hydrogen interaction in bulk fluids for geological storage application using NMR by Sidi Mamoudou, Son Dang, Chandra Rai

“…Similarly, hydrocarbons—including dodecane, dead oil, and wax—showed no evidence of hydrogen dissolution under NMR, as only free-phase hydrogen signals (1–20 ms) were detected. However, visual observations of gas bubbles in dead oil suggest physical hydrogen trapping rather than true molecular dissolution, indicating hydrogen retention in a discrete gas phase without full integration into the liquid phase. …”
