Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes01:23

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes

4.5K
Lymph nodes are bean-shaped structures that cluster along the lymphatic vessels in the inguinal, axillary, and cervical regions. Each node is divided into compartments by a capsule that extends trabeculae inward.
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...

Motion Of A Charged Particle In A Magnetic Field01:22

Motion Of A Charged Particle In A Magnetic Field

6.7K
A charged particle experiences a force when moving through a magnetic field. Consider the field to be uniform and the charged particle to move perpendicular to it. If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, a charged particle follows a curved path. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the...

Subatomic Particles

112.4K
Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging01:24

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

9.1K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

The Nucleosome Core Particle02:10

The Nucleosome Core Particle

14.1K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Nanotechnology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is crucial for cancer metastasis staging.
  • Current SLNB methods face limitations like short tracer half-lives and radiation exposure.
  • Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) offers potential for pre-operative SLNB imaging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the in vivo pharmacokinetics of SPIONs for SLNB using MPIL.
  • To compare the performance of five commercially available SPIONs in a murine model.
  • To identify optimal SPION characteristics for effective SLNB tracers.

Main Methods:

  • Evaluated five SPIONs (VivoTrax, VivoTrax+, Synomag-D70, Synomag-D70 PEG, Synomag-D70 PEG-mannose) in a murine model.
  • Assessed in vivo pharmacokinetics using MPIL.
  • Analyzed SPION signal, clearance, accumulation, and spread to higher echelon nodes (HENs).

Main Results:

  • SPION relaxometry signal did not always predict in vivo MPI signal.
  • Core size and hydrodynamic size influenced SPION performance.
  • Synomag-D70 showed higher in vivo signal than VivoTrax.
  • Mannose-targeted SPIONs exhibited rapid clearance and reduced HEN detection.

Conclusions:

  • SPIONs show potential as tracers for MPI-guided SLNB.
  • SPION characteristics like core and hydrodynamic size are critical for MPIL performance.
  • Mannose-targeted SPIONs represent a promising candidate for enhanced SLNB procedures due to improved specificity and clearance.
