Protein-directed synthesis of Bi2S3 nanoparticles as an efficient contrast agent for visualizing the gastrointestinal tract
Non-invasive imaging modalities such as computed tomography are often used for diagnosis and assessment of gastrointestinal (GI) disease status over the long-term. The physiology of the GI tract can be assessed with contrast agents. Here, we present common protein (bovine serum albumin, BSA) stabilized bismuth sulfide nanoparticles with robust X-ray attenuation. Under the optimal conditions, th...
متن کاملHydrothermal Synthesis of an Ethiodol Based Ferrofluid as a Potential MRI Contrast Agent
In the present work, stable ferrofluids containing oleic acid capped magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized via low temperature hydrothermal method. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesized particles were studied using TEM, XRD, AFM, VSM and PCS techniques. Mean particles size of the samples was between 4.5 and 10 nanometers, depending on experimental conditions. Effect ...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of PVP-functionalized superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles as an MRI contrast agent
The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) via covalent bonds were prepared as T2 contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The surface of MNPs was first coated with 3(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (silan A) by a silanization reaction to introduce reactive vinyl groups onto the surface, then poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) was grafted onto...
متن کاملPhysicochemical characterization of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (USPIO) for biomedical application as MRI contrast agents
Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (USPIO) particles are maghemite or magnetite nanoparticles currently used as contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging. The coatings surrounding the USPIO inorganic core play a major role in both the in vitro stability and, over all, USPIO's in vivo fate. Different physicochemical properties such as final size, surface charge and coating density are ke...
متن کاملIron Oxide as an MRI Contrast Agent for Cell Tracking
Iron oxide contrast agents have been combined with magnetic resonance imaging for cell tracking. In this review, we discuss coating properties and provide an overview of ex vivo and in vivo labeling of different cell types, including stem cells, red blood cells, and monocytes/macrophages. Furthermore, we provide examples of applications of cell tracking with iron contrast agents in stroke, mult...
