常规T2像和组织学研究APPswe/PS1dE9转基因小鼠模型

用常规的T₂加权像研究阿尔茨海默病双转基因APPswe/PS1dE9小鼠模型,拟合了海马和顶叶皮层的T₂,并用组织学方法研究了APP/PS1小鼠在这2个感兴趣区域随年龄相关的淀粉样斑块病理的发展及铁质的沉积. T₂拟合的结果显示,较高月龄的APP/PS1小鼠相比于低月龄APP/PS1小鼠T₂有升高但不显著,各月龄组APP/PS1小鼠与同窝生非阳性小鼠之间也无明显差异;组织学的结果则显示年龄相关的淀粉样斑块的增多,铁质在16月龄的APP/PS1小鼠脑区中有明显沉积且和斑块具有“共域性”. 两方面的实验结果提示：在该模型淀粉样斑块沉积病理发展的早期,这2个脑区的T₂并不能作为特异性的病理发展的标志.

Low‐Magnetization Magnetic Microcapsules: A Synergistic Theranostic Platform for Remote Cancer Cells Therapy and Imaging

Multifunctional magnetic microcapsules (MMCs) for the combined cancer cells hyperthermia and chemotherapy in addition to MR imaging are successfully developed. A classical layer‐by‐layer technique of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly(4‐styrene sulfonate sodium) (PSS)) is used as it affords great controllability over the preparation together with enhanced loading of the chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin, DOX) in the microcapsules. Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIOs) nanoparticles are layered in the system to afford MMC1 (one SPIOs layer) and MMC2 (two SPIOs layers). Most interestingly, MMC1 and MMC2 show efficient hyperthermia cell death and controlled DOX release although their magnetic saturation value falls below 2.5 emu g^?1, which is lower than the 7–22 emu g^?1 reported to be the minimum value needed for biomedical applications. Moreover, MMCs are pH responsive where a pH 5.5 (often reported for cancer cells) combined with hyperthermia increases DOX release predictably. Both systems prove viable when used as T2 contrast agents for MR imaging in HeLa cells with high biocompatibility. Thus, MMCs hold a great promise to be used commercially as a theranostic platform as they are controllably prepared, reproducibly enhanced, and serve as drug delivery, hyperthermia, and MRI contrast agents at the same time.
