This study explored the imaging capability of our frequency-domain photoacoustic (FD-PA) system that utilizes correlation processing alias “photoacoustic radar” and ultrasonic phased array for imaging of soft tissues. The probe imaging capabilities were studied using tissuemimicking phantoms, tissue samples ex vivo, blood vessels in a human wrist and a rat tumour model in vivo. Our experimental...

kuh-e-faryadoon and kouli kosh iron deposits are hosted by regional metamorphic rocks of sanandaj-sirjan zone around deh-bid area. plugs and domes of acid rocks protrude these metamorphic rocks. a mylonitization event is super imposed on acid rock and metamorphic complexes. field, petrological and geochemical studies have shown that (1) iron mineralization have occurred during mylonitization in...

Intracellular free iron of Escherichia coli was determined by whole-cell electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry. Ultrahigh pressure (UHP) increased both intracellular free iron and cell lethality in a pressure-dose-dependent manner. The iron chelator 2,2'-dipyridyl protected cells against UHP treatments. A mutation that produced iron overload conditions sensitized E. coli to UHP treatment.

in this study, fe 3 o 4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized by chitosan. then the nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (tem). particle size distribution and zeta potential of the particles also was assessed using malvern zetasizer. the paramagnetic behaviors of the uncoated and chitosan coate...

The spectroscopic studies of transition metal complexes of iron. metal complexes, are characterized by XRD, FTIR, H NMR, Mössbauer and VSM (vibrating sample magnetometer) measurements, are reported in the present paper. The XRD analysis reveals the crystalline nature of all the compounds. Mössbauer study interprets paramagnetic nature of complexes at room temperature. VSM measurements also reve...

Magnetically labelled cells are used for in vivo cell tracking by MRI, used for the clinical translation of cell-base therapies. Studies involving magnetic labelled cells may include separation of labelled cells, targeted delivery and controlled release of drugs, contrast enhanced MRI and magnetic hyperthermia for the in situ ablation of tumours. Dextran-coated super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SP...

Introduction Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) possess tremendous therapeutic potential because of their capacity to differentiate into multiple functional lineages. To assess the efficacy of BMSCs cell therapy, MRI methods are being developed to monitor their bio-distribution in longitudinal studies. Although, labeling BMSCs with iron-oxide nanoparticles can facilitate their i...
