OBJECTIVE To evaluate clinical 3.0T magnetic resonance for tracking and quantifying superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeled endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vitro and homing to liver with acute injury in vivo. METHODS The bone marrow-derived EPCs were isolated and cultured for 4 days and examined in vitro for lineage markers. Then the cultured cells were labeled with a ferumoxides-p...

a new approach for the synthesis of prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. powder x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, uv–vis absorption spectra, and ir spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. the tem image showed that the prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

Introduction. Bleeding in liver injuries is observed during natural disasters, massive injuries, military field conditions and under other circumstances. The vital need for surgical treatment these cases obvious. As a rule, time assistance limited, operations are performed by surgeons who do not have sufficient experience. Intraoperative hemostasis methods always effective. search intraoperativ...

AIMS To determine the role of Perls' staining in bone marrow trephine biopsy sections. METHODS The haemosiderin content of 155 Perls' stained, formic acid decalcified trephine biopsy sections was assessed and compared with Perls' stained aspirate samples in 105 cases and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained biopsy sections in all cases. RESULTS An evaluable aspirate film with positive iron ...

Conjugation of monoclonal antibodies to super paramagnetic nanoparticles is an effective method for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this study the humanized anti her2/neu monoclonal antibody- Herceptin- was conjugated to super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles using EDC method. The concentration of the conjugated antibodies was measured by Bradford assay. The antibody-nanoparticle...

PURPOSE To investigate the specific targeting property of lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor-1 binding polyethylene glycol-coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide (LYVE-1-PEG-USPIO) nanoparticles to mouse lymphatic endothelial cells (MLECs). METHODS A ligand specific target to lymphatic vessels was selected by immunohistochemical staining on the sections of a Lewis subcut...

A new approach for the synthesis of Prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant Cetyl Pyridinium Chloride (CPC) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. Powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, UV–vis absorption spectra, and IR spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. The TEM image showed that the Prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

Currently, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative option for patients with beta-thalassemia major, but liver iron overload in these patients will not decrease and hepatic fibrosis may still progress despite successful HSCT. Liver biopsy samples were taken from 14 patients (Out of 25 patients) who underwent HSCT. All patients met three criteria: negative HCV antibody...
