Two simple cryosolutions were evaluated: 0.17 M sodium chloride containing a final concentration of 15% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) (cryosolution A) and 0.1 M sodium citrate containing a final concentration of 10% Me(2)SO (cryosolution B). Ultrastructural anomalies of the plasmatic and nuclear membranes of the sperm head were common and the severity of the cryoinjury differed significantly between the pre- and the postfreezing phases and between the two cryosolutions. In spermatozoa diluted with cryosolution A, during the prefreezing phase, the plasmalemma of 61% of the cells was absent or damaged compared with 24% in the fresh sample (P &lt; 0.001). In spermatozoa diluted with cryosolution B, there was a pronounced increase in the number of cells lacking the head plasmatic membrane from the prefreezing to the postthawed stages (from 32 to 52%, P &lt; 0.01). In both cryosolutions, damages to nuclear membrane were significantly higher after freezing (cryosolution A: 8 to 23%, P &lt; 0.01; cryosolution B: 5 to 38%, P &lt; 0.001). With cryosolution A, the after-activation motility profile confirmed a consistent drop from fresh at the prefreezing stage, whereas freezing and thawing did not affect the motility much further and 50% of the cells were immotile by 60-90 s after activation. With cryosolution B, only the postthawing stage showed a sharp drop of motility profile. This study suggests that the different phases of the cryoprocess should be investigated to better understand the process of sperm damage.</AbstractText><CopyrightInformation>Copyright 2001 Elsevier Science.</CopyrightInformation></Abstract><AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Taddei</LastName><ForeName>A R</ForeName><Initials>AR</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>Dipartimento di Scienze Ambientali, Universit&#xe0;

However, the J-editing approaches have difficulty in discriminating between compounds with similar J-constant as, for example, different glucose metabolites. In such cases, it is almost impossible to get J-edited images of a single-compound distribution, since the various molecules are distinguishable only via their chemical shift. In a recent application of J-editing to high-resolution spectroscopy, it has been shown that a more efficient chemical selectivity could be obtained by utilizing the larger chemical shift range of (13)C. This has been made by introducing frequency-selective (13)C pulses that allow a great capability of indirect chemical separation. Here a double-resonance imaging approach is proposed, based on both J-editing and (13)C chemical shift editing, which achieves a powerful chemical selectivity and is able to produce full maps of specific chemical compounds. Results are presented on a multicompartments sample containing solutions of glucose and lactic and glutamic acid in water.</AbstractText><CopyrightInformation>Copyright 2001 Academic Press.</CopyrightInformation></Abstract><AuthorList CompleteYN="Y"><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Casieri</LastName><ForeName>C</ForeName><Initials>C</Initials><AffiliationInfo><Affiliation>INFM and Department of Physics, University of L'Aquila, I-67100 L'Aquila, Italy.</Affiliation></AffiliationInfo></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Testa</LastName><ForeName>C</ForeName><Initials>C</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Carpinelli</LastName><ForeName>G</ForeName><Initials>G</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Canese</LastName><ForeName>R</ForeName><Initials>R</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>Podo</LastName><ForeName>F</ForeName><Initials>F</Initials></Author><Author ValidYN="Y"><LastName>De Luca</LastName><ForeName>F</ForeName><Initials>F</Initials></Author></AuthorList><Language>eng</Language><PublicationTypeList><PublicationType UI="D016428">Journal Article</PublicationType></PublicationTypeList></Article><MedlineJournalInfo><Country>United States</Country><MedlineTA>J Magn Reson</MedlineTA><NlmUniqueID>9707935</NlmUniqueID><ISSNLinking>1090-7807</ISSNLinking></MedlineJournalInfo></MedlineCitation><PubmedData><History><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="pubmed"><Year>2001</Year><Month>11</Month><Day>9</Day><Hour>10</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="medline"><Year>2001</Year><Month>11</Month><Day>9</Day><Hour>10</Hour><Minute>1</Minute></PubMedPubDate><PubMedPubDate PubStatus="entrez"><Year>2001</Year><Month>11</Month><Day>9</Day><Hour>10</Hour><Minute>0</Minute></PubMedPubDate></History><PublicationStatus>ppublish</PublicationStatus><ArticleIdList><ArticleId IdType="pubmed">11700088</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="doi">10.1006/jmre.2001.2429</ArticleId><ArticleId IdType="pii">S1090-7807(01)92429-2</ArticleId></ArticleIdList></PubmedData></PubmedArticle></PubmedArticleSet>
