Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI

505
Introduction: MRI and CT scans are crucial advancements in medical imaging techniques, playing a vital role in diagnosing conditions related to the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Each scan serves distinct purposes, targets specific areas, and requires unique nursing duties.
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Area of Science:

  • Nanotechnology
  • Materials Science
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Lipid-based nanosystems are crucial for targeted drug delivery and diagnostics.
  • Manganese compounds show promise for multimodal imaging but require effective delivery systems.
  • Developing stable and biocompatible carriers is essential for in vivo applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and characterize anionic liposomes for manganese delivery in diagnostic imaging.
  • To evaluate the stability and loading efficiency of manganese-based compounds within liposomes.
  • To assess the in vitro cytotoxicity of the developed liposomal formulations.

Main Methods:

  • Anionic liposomes were prepared using four different surfactants (sodium docusate, N-lauroylsarcosine, Protelan AG8, sodium lauroyl lactylate) via direct hydration and extrusion.
  • Liposomes were characterized for size, polydispersity, surface charge (ζ potential), and stability.
  • Manganese loading was quantified using atomic absorption spectroscopy.
  • In vitro cytotoxicity was assessed using MTT assay on human keratinocytes.

Main Results:

  • Homogeneous, monodispersed liposomes with diameters under 200 nm and negative surface charge were successfully produced.
  • N-lauroylsarcosine (NLS) and sodium lauroyl lactylate (SLL) liposomes demonstrated superior stability over time.
  • Manganese loading efficiency was nearly quantitative for the prepared liposomes.
  • Cytotoxicity was found to be dose-dependent for the evaluated anionic liposome formulations.

Conclusions:

  • Anionic liposomes, particularly those with NLS or SLL, are effective and stable carriers for manganese-based diagnostic agents.
  • The developed liposomal formulations show potential for use in multimodal imaging techniques.
  • Further investigation into the dose-dependent cytotoxicity is warranted for clinical translation.
