Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies were carried out on gamma-irradiated europium-doped yttrium borate samples in the temperature range 300–600 K. TSL studies showed the presence of two glow peaks, a relatively weaker one at 390 K and an intense one at around 550 K. Room-temperature EPR spectrum of irradiated samples revealed the formation of two hole trapped radicals, namely, BO32− and O2−. Temperature variation studies showed drastic reduction in the EPR signal intensities of these radicals around 390 and 550 K indicating thermal destruction of O2− and BO32− radicals, respectively. The observed TSL emission is caused by the recombination of thermally released holes from O2− and BO32− radical ions with electrons. The energy released in electron-hole recombination process is used for the excitation of Eu3+ ion resulting in TSL glow peaks. TSL emission studies confirmed that Eu3+ acts as luminescent center for both the peaks.

Regulation of the use of ionizing radiation for treating food products and agricultural raw materials in Russia in 2017 suggests a wide dissemination of radiation technologies in the food industry, but manufacturers of food products processed by ionizing radiation do not indicate on the label the relevant information. Because of this, the identification of the domestic consumer market of food products processed by ionizing radiation will reduce the number of violations of requirements of state standard State standards (GOST) 33800-2016 “Production of food irradiated. General labeling requirements”. To determine whether irradiation of food raw materials and foodstuff, used the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), with each of the food products treated by ionizing radiation has its own characteristic EPR spectrum. In this regard, the aim of the research is to identify the dependence of the parameters of the EPR spectrum from meat, fish and poultry treated with ionizing radiation. Samples of bone tissue (SBT) meat, fish and poultry were subjected to radiation treatment with a linear electron accelerator model UELR-10-10С2 with energies up to 10 MeV. Studies of samples were carried out on the portable automated EPR spectrometer brand Labrador Expert X-band. Found that despite treatment samples of bone tissue with the same dose of ionizing radiation (12 kGy), the EPR signal depends on the type of vertebrates, the structure of the tissue sample, and other factors. Bone samples of beef and pork have a higher sensitivity to irradiation. Recorded a steady correlation between increasing the area of the EPR signal parameters: amplitude is of 0.99, the width of the peak signal, respectively 0,979 (the degree of strength of statistical relationships Chedoke very high). Processing of the obtained results of the EPR spectrum provides a high degree of confidence (p≤0.05) to identify how previously non-irradiated and radiation-processed various meats, fish and poultry.

The measurement of hemoglobin-nitric oxide (NO) adduct (HbNO) in whole blood by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method seems relevant for the assessment of systemic NO levels. However, ceruloplasmin and unknown radical species overlap the same magnetic field as that of HbNO. To reveal the EPR spectrum of HbNO, we then introduced the EPR signal subtraction method, which is based on the computer-assisted subtraction of the digitized EPR spectrum of HbNO-depleted blood from that of sample blood using the software. Rats were treated with Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 120 mg · kg–1 · day–1) for 1 wk to obtain HbNO-depleted blood. When this method was applied to the analysis of untreated fresh whole blood, the five-coordinate state of HbNO was observed. HbNO concentration in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats was augmented (change in [HbNO] = 1.6–5.5 μM) by infusion of l-arginine (0.2–0.6 g/kg) but not d-arginine. Using this method, we attempted to evaluate the effects of temocapril on HbNO dynamics in an l-NAME-induced rat endothelial dysfunction model. The oral administration of l-NAME for 2 wk induced a serious hypertension, and the HbNO concentration was reduced (change in [HbNO] = 5.7 μM). Coadministration of temocapril dose dependently improved both changes in blood pressure and the systemic HbNO concentration. In this study, we succeeded in measuring the blood HbNO level as an index of NO by the EPR HbNO signal subtraction method. We also demonstrated that temocapril improves abnormalities of NO dynamics in l-NAME-induced endothelial dysfunction rats using the EPR HbNO signal subtraction method.

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method was used to determine the concentration of the antitumor agent Triapine in BEAS-2B cells when Triapine was bound to iron (Fe). Knowledge of the concentration of Fe-Triapine in tumor cells may be useful to adjust the administration of the drug or to adjust iron uptake in tumor cells. An EPR spectrum is obtained for Fe(3+)-Triapine, Fe(3+)(Tp)2+, in BEAS-2B cells after addition of Fe(3+)(Tp)2+. Detection of the low spin signal for Fe(3+)(Tp)2+ shows that the Fe(3+)(Tp)2+ complex is intact in these cells. It is proposed that Triapine acquires iron from transferrin in cells including tumor cells. Here, it is shown that iron from purified Fe-transferrin is transferred to Triapine after the addition of ascorbate. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the EPR method has been used to determine the concentration of an iron antitumor agent in cells.

Abstract Sapwood sawdust from southern pine was treated with micronized copper (MC) under various conditions and the mobilized copper(II) (Cumob) concentrations were determined in the treated wood by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The spectral parameters for the copper sulfate (CuSO4)-treated sapwood and those of the MC-treated sapwood were very similar. A linear correlation was found between the intensities of copper (Cu) EPR spectra and those of Cu energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy in a series of CuSO4-treated sapwood reference samples. Thus, the EPR signal intensities could be reliably correlated to the mass of reacted Cu present using this calibration curve. The amount of the Cumob in sawdust treated by MC suspensions increased during the first 2–3 days after the initial treatment and then reached a maximum during the 7-day monitoring period. In the case of the treatment with MC alone or MC azole, an increased MC concentration led to an elevated amount of Cu (to a maximum of ∼0.23% Cu) solubilized by the sapwood. If the wood was treated with MC quat, the Cumob initially increased, but at higher concentrations the Cumob content decreased, due to the interference by the quat cobiocide on the acid reaction between the wood and the basic Cu carbonate. An examination of commercially-treated wood confirmed the laboratory observations.
