Phospholipid decoration of microcapsules containing perfluorooctyl bromide used as ultrasound contrast agents.
We present here an easy method to modify the surface chemistry of polymeric microcapsules of perfluorooctyl bromide used as ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs). Capsules were obtained by a solvent emulsification-evaporation process with phospholipids incorporated in the organic phase before emulsification. Several phospholipids were reviewed: fluorescent, pegylated and biotinylated phospholipids....
متن کاملPerfluorooctyl bromide (perflubron) stimulates mucin secretion in the ferret trachea.
OBJECTIVES Partial liquid ventilation with perfluorooctyl bromide (perflubron) has been shown to be safe and effective in animal models with respiratory failure. However, airway mucus accumulation has been reported to be a problem in human trials. We hypothesized that this might be because perflubron directly affects mucociliary clearance or stimulates mucus secretion. METHODS AND RESULTS We ...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Novel Perfluorooctyl Bromide Nanoparticle as Ultrasound Contrast Agent via Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly for Folate-Receptor-Mediated Tumor Imaging
A folate-polyethylene glycol-chitosan derivative was synthesized and its structure was characterized. An optimal perfluorooctyl bromide nanocore template was obtained via utilizing the ultrasonic emulsification method combining with orthogonal design. The targeted nanoparticles containing targeted shell of folate-polyethylene glycol-chitosan derivative and perfluorooctyl bromide nanocore templa...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasonography with a new contrast agent (SonoVue®) for characterization of renal tumors
Due to the increased use of imaging techniques such as ultrasound and computed tomography, an increasing number of renal tumors are being diagnosed incidentally. These tumors are often smaller and in an earlier stage, and it is difficult to distinguish benign from malignant tumors. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the value of Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) in the characteriz...
متن کاملSynthesized Gd2O3 nanoparticles as contrast agent
Introduction: Gd (III) ion has been known to be the best metal ion in the periodic table that can be used as a T1 MRI contrast agent. Gadolinium have 7 unpaired electrons and these electrons can make magnetic area. No other metal ions possess unpaired electron more than this. CAs based on the element Gd are classified as “positive”, by opposition to “negative” CAs. Nowadays, G...
