MRI acquisition on three sheep ex vivo hearts was performed at 9.4T/30cm with a seven-element RF coil. 3D FLASH with an isotropic resolution of 150µm and 3D spin-echo DTI at 600µm were performed. Tensor analysis, angles extraction and segments divisions were performed on both volumes. A 3D FLASH allows for visualization of the detailed structure of the left and right ventricles. The helix angle determined using DTI and STI exhibited a smooth transmural change from the endocardium to the epicardium. Both the helix and transverse angles were similar between techniques. Sheetlet organization exhibited the same pattern in both acquisitions, but local angle differences were seen and identified in 17 segments representation. This study demonstrated the feasibility of high-resolution MRI for studying the myocyte and myolaminar architecture of sheep hearts. We presented the results of STI on three whole sheep ex vivo hearts and demonstrated a good correspondence between DTI and STI.

Many studies have found that abundant microbes inhabit Ophiocordyceps sinensis and perform important functions for their host. In this study, our objective was to reveal the microbial communities that inhabit C. militaris and analyze their potential functions. High-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA and ITS genes was used to compare the diversity and composition of the bacterial and fungal communities
