Résumé:

Dispositif de résonance magnétique nucléaire ou d'imagerie par résonnance magnétique, comportant un système de bobines (1) comportant N paires de bobines (10, 20), où N est un entier supérieur à 1, ces bobines (10, 20) s'étendant au moins partiellement selon une surface enveloppe (E) du système de bobines à symétrie de révolution, chaque bobine (10, 20) comportant au moins deux portions opposées (11, 21) définissant un plan associé (P1, P2) parallèle à un premier plan médian (M) de la surface enveloppe (E) contenant un axe de symétrie (Y) de la surface enveloppe (E), les portions opposées (11, 21) des bobines (10, 20) d'une même paire étant disposées de manière symétrique par rapport au premier plan médian (M), les portions opposées (11, 21) d'une bobine (10, 20) étant disposées de manière symétrique par rapport à un deuxième plan médian (N) contenant ledit axe de symétrie (Y) et perpendiculaire au premier plan médian (M).

Résumé:

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are disastrous neuropathologies causing permanent disabilities. The availability of different strains of mice is valuable for studying the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in SCI. However, strain differences have a profound effect on spontaneous functional recovery after SCI. CX3CR1+/eGFP and Aldh1l1-EGFP mice that express green fluorescent protein in microglia/monocytes and astrocytes, respectively, are particularly useful to study glial reactivity. Whereas CX3CR1+/eGFP mice have C57BL/6 background, Aldh1l1-EGFP are in Swiss Webster background. We first assessed spontaneous functional recovery in CX3CR1+/eGFP and Aldh1l1-EGFP mice over 6 weeks after lateral spinal cord hemisection. Second, we carried out a longitudinal follow-up of lesion evolution using in vivo T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Finally, we performed in-depth analysis of the spinal cord tissue using ex vivo T2-weighted MRI as well as detailed histology. We demonstrate that CX3CR1+/eGFP mice have improved functional recovery and reduced anxiety after SCI compared with Aldh1l1-EGFP mice. We also found a strong correlation between in vivo MRI, ex vivo MRI, and histological analyses of the injured spinal cord in both strain of mice. All three modalities revealed no difference in lesion extension and volume between the two strains of mice. Importantly, histopathological analysis identified decreased gliosis and increased serotonergic axons in CX3CR1+/eGFP compared with Aldh1l1-EGFP mice following SCI. These results thus suggest that the strain-dependent improved functional recovery after SCI may be linked with reduced gliosis and increased serotonergic innervation.

Résumé:

Here we demonstrate for the first time that Mn2+-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles of c.a. 70 nm act as effective agents for photothermal therapy under two-photon excitation with an almost total eradication of malignant cells (97 and 98%) at a concentration of 100 μg mL−1 24 h after NIR excitation. This effect combined with interesting longitudinal NMR relaxivity values offer new perspectives for effective imaging and cancer treatment.

Commentaires: Highlights• Design of multifunctional nanoparticles able to provide efficient photothermal effect associated with imaging is highly challenging.• New Prussian blue nanoparticles compete with conventional PTT agents in terms of their efficiency and multifunctionality.• We demonstrate that Mn2+-doped Prussian blue nanoparticles act as efficient agents for PTT under two-photon excitation.• These nanoparticles induce an almost total eradication of malignant cells (97 and 98 %) 24 h after NIR excitation.• The combination of PTT with MRI offers new perspectives for efficient cancer treatment with imaging.
