概括
中间偏差,而不是日复一日的变化,是鼠肝功能的动态对比增强MRI (DCE-MRI) 生物标志物变化的主要来源. 解决这些偏见对于减少样本大小和提高研究可靠性至关重要.
科学领域:
- * 医学成像和光谱学
- * 药理学与药物代谢学
- * 在研究中的动物模型.
背景情况:
- *动态对比增强型MRI (DCE-MRI) 用于评估大鼠的肝功能.
- *以前的研究表明,DCE-MRI生物标志物在不同研究中心的生物标志物中存在显著的变异性.
研究的目的:
- * 确定大鼠DCE-MRI肝功能生物标志物的主要变异来源.
- * 为了比较不同中心,场强度和时间点的数据.
主要方法:
- *13项涉及Wistar-Han大鼠的副研究在三个设施中使用4.7T和7T扫描仪进行.
- * DCE-MRI数据是使用3D破坏梯度回声序获得的.
- * 用差异分析来评估肝细胞吸收率 (Ktrans) 和胆道分泌率 (kbh) 的变化.
主要成果:
- *在Ktrans (31%) 和kbh (43%) 两种研究中观察到显著的差异.
- *中心间的变化占数据变化的最大部分 (Ktrans: 44.9%,kbh: 50.9%).
- * 在主体内重复性对Kbh (8%) 比Ktrans (25%) 更好.
结论:
- * 由硬件,准备和操作因素引起的中心间偏差是大鼠肝脏DCE-MRI变异的主要驱动因素.

Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Incorporating Hepatic Transporter-Mediated Clearance
36
Drug transporters are critical in drug absorption, distribution, and excretion processes. They should be included in physiological-based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models, which help predict human drug disposition. However, predicting this is challenging during drug development, especially when liver transport is involved. However, with a realistic representation of body transport processes, an accurate model may be possible.

Hepatic Drug Clearance: Role of Transporters
51
In the liver and bile canaliculi, influx and efflux transporters modification can influence intrinsic clearance. Transporters play a significant role in moving drugs within liver cells. Elaborate models, such as the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS), are essential to relate transporters to drug disposition. This system categorizes drugs into four classes based on solubility and permeability, providing insights into elimination routes and the effects of transporters following oral...

Methods for Studying Drug Absorption: In situ
216
In situ experiments, such as the Doluisio method and Single-Pass Perfusion technique, provide critical insights into drug uptake by simulating in vivo conditions for drug absorption.
The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
