## Abstract A proton NMR relaxation and pulsed field gradient selfโdiffusion study of water in fibrin gels, plasma, and blood clots has been performed with special emphasis on the effect of the solโgel and shrinkage transitions. Deuteron NMR in fibrin gels was also studied to supplement the proton

Abstract
The waterโsuppressed proton NMR spectra of plasma from healthy controls and cancer patients have been recorded along with the highโdensity lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride (TG) levels in the plasma. The dependence of the average of methylene and methyl resonance linewidths on the HDL/TG ratio is demonstrated. It is shown that the deranged lipoprotein levels caused by the presence of cancer lead to the serological test for cancer proposed by Fossel. The work provides the formation for a complete understanding of the proposed serological test for cancer. However, the wide variation in lipoprotein composition in the plasma from both healthy adults and cancer patients means that the serological test proposed by Fossel cannot be used as a screen for cancer. ยฉ 1990 Academic Press, Inc.

Intensity modulated 31P NMR spectra were obtained using the pulse sequence published by Patt and Shoolery. This attached proton test (APT) technique for signal assignment could be applied to systems with long-range heteronuclear couplings in P- 0-C--H fragments. In a model system derived from the al
