DNA as a Genetic Template02:05

DNA as a Genetic Template

27.9K
Two structural features of the DNA molecule provide a basis for the mechanisms of heredity: the four nucleotide bases and its double-stranded nature. The Watson-Crick model of double-helical DNA structure, proposed in 1952, drew heavily upon the X-ray crystallography work of researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins jointly received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in 1962. Franklin was, controversially, excluded from the prize for...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement

264
Body:Bioavailability is a critical factor in determining a drug's effectiveness. It refers to the proportion of a drug that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and is, as a result, able to have an active effect. Enhancing bioavailability is essential for drugs with poor solubility, as it can significantly impact their therapeutic efficacy. Various methods are employed to increase the solubility of drugs, thereby enhancing their bioavailability.Micronization and nanonization are...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Permeability Enhancement

210
Body:After oral administration, poor permeability often limits the rate at which drugs are absorbed through the intestinal epithelium. Enhancing drug permeability is crucial for effective therapy, and several strategies have been developed to overcome this challenge.One effective strategy involves the use of lipid-based formulations. These formulations enhance dissolution and solubility, targeting physiological mechanisms to increase drug absorption. This includes stimulating bile salt...

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Stability Enhancement and GI Retention

224
Body:Improving a drug's stability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is paramount for enhancing its bioavailability and therapeutic effectiveness. Various strategies are employed to protect the drug from the harsh gastric milieu and to ensure its release and absorption at the desired site within the GI tract.Polymer coatings are one such method used to shield drugs from the stomach's acidic environment. By preventing premature drug release, these coatings improve the bioavailability of unstable...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Nuclear Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Positron Emission Tomography/Magnetic Resonance (PET/MR) imaging offers advanced brain research capabilities.
  • Accurate attenuation correction is crucial for quantitative PET imaging, but MR-based methods present challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel template-enhanced zero-echo-time (ZTE) attenuation correction method for PET/MR scanners.
  • To assess the impact of this new method on PET quantitation accuracy in brain imaging.

Main Methods:

  • 30 subjects underwent PET/CT and subsequent PET/MR scans.
  • Two attenuation maps were generated using ZTE: standard and template-enhanced.
  • CT data served as the gold standard for comparison.

Main Results:

  • The template-enhanced ZTE method achieved a PET bias of -0.9% ± 0.9%, compared to -1.4% ± 1.1% for the standard ZTE method.
  • Absolute bias was reduced from 1.6% ± 0.9% to 1.1% ± 0.7% with the new method.
  • Statistically significant bias reduction was observed in multiple brain regions, including frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, and insula.

Conclusions:

  • Co-registration of anatomical templates to ZTE data is feasible in clinical settings.
  • The template-enhanced ZTE method effectively improves segmentation-based attenuation correction performance.
  • This advancement holds promise for more accurate quantitative PET/MR brain research.
