By the update of §24?a of the German road traffic act driving under the influence of drugs of abuse can now be fined even in ¶absence of an actual driving impairment. ¶The only requisite is the detection of certain drugs/metabolites in a blood sample. Therefore for pretesting there is a need for fast and reliable immunological screening methods in blood/serum. The new Mahsan microtiterplate enzyme immunoassay (MTP-EIA) is claimed to be sensitive and independent of the matrix. For an evaluation we carried out a comparison of the cannabinoid and opiate assays from Mahsan (MTP-EIA) and the routinely used Abbott fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) with a batch of routine serum samples. For the MTP-EIAs we used the cut-off recommendations of the supplier (cannabinoids 2 ng/mL, opiates 10 ng/mL). For the Abbott FPIAs the serum samples had to be pretreated (deproteinization with acetone) and appropriate cut-offs were defined by our investigations (cannabinoids 20 ng/mL, opiates 30 ng/mL). Out of 136 samples screened for cannabinoids 42% were positive with GC-MS and 18% from 123 samples were positive for opiates. The Abbott cannabinoid FPIA gave false negative results in 23% of GC-MS positive cases and 9% false negatives for opiates while Mahsan MTP-EIA gave no false negatives. Each of the two cannabinoid assays gave false positive results in 13% of the cases and for the MTP opiate assay 2% of the positives could not be confirmed with GC-MS. As a result of our study the cut-off values for the MTP-EIAs have proved to be suitable for a distinction between potential positives and true negatives. 相似文献

The performance of gated proton decoupling and polarization transfer with respect to glycogen detection by 13C NMR was investigated. Experiments were performed on a 1.5-T whole-body scanner using a 13C surface coil in combination with a proton head coil. Spectra were acquired from a glycogen phantom and from the lower leg of a healthy volunteer using proton decoupling and the polarization transfer method SINEPT. The signal strength of the C1 resonance of glycogen was determined and compared to a reference spectrum acquired without any form of sensitivity enhancement. In the phantom experiment both decoupling and SINEPT produced a signal gain of 3.5. Under in vivo conditions, the signal gain was approximately 2.5 for both techniques. We conclude that decoupling and polarization transfer are equivalently useful techniques for glycogen detection. 相似文献

Some novel techniques for volume localized, chemical shift selective 13C spectroscopy are described in this work. These techniques are based on rotating frame J cross polarization and are reported for both direct and indirect modes of 13C detection. The performance of two selective mixing sequences, viz., pulsed rotating frame transfer sequences with windows (PRAWN) and PRAWN‐π has been studied systematically with different liquid and gel phantoms. Two different front‐end modules are used for volume localization, viz., point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) and localized distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (LODEPT). It is shown experimentally that both the selective J cross polarization sequences can operate efficiently with very low radiofrequency duty cycle; further, they have considerable tolerance to Hartmann‐Hahn mismatch. A simple theoretical analysis is also presented to understand J cross‐polarization dynamics at low RF field amplitudes. Finally, the performance of LODEPT‐PRAWN‐π is demonstrated for the selective detection of saturated fat in pigeon egg in indirect detection mode.

Carbon-13 magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy (CMRI/S) was performed using polarization transfer techniques where sensitivity of the carbon signal was enhanced by transferring the proton spin order to the carbon nuclei. The experimental feasibility of using polarization transfer techniques at 2.0 T was demonstrated with a phantom and an intact chicken egg. The potential clinical applications of CMRI/S with polarization transfer include the assessment of prostate cancer. Preliminary results using human prostate specimens are presented. 相似文献

Presented are results of modern immunological and culture medium techniques for the salmonella isolation from chicken trunks compared with those obtained by standard technique (ST). By using fluorescent antibody technique (FAT), enriched serum techniques (ES) and immune stain-reaction (ISR) a larger number of positive samples was detected (31%-41%) in comparison with standard culture medium techniques (ST) (25%). Statistically significant differences were obtained by FAT. By both Rappaport-Vassiliadis (RV) and modified semi-solid Rappaport-Vassiliadis (MSRV) culture medium techniques about thrice higher percentage of salmonella positive findings were obtained than in comparison with the standard techniques. Compared to RV, the MSRV culture media technique reduces the salmonella isolation period for 48. 相似文献

The collection of traces is the first step in the process of forensic genetics analysis. Currently, several different techniques are used (eg. gauze). Nevertheless, swabbing appears to be the most common of these. In a second step, the sampling devices should allow the use of preliminary tests in combination with an immunological confirmatory test (e.g. Hexagon Obti or Hemdirect). Our previous study shows that sampling with Genetics 4N6FLOQswabs™ coated with surfactant reduces by a factor of at least 100 the detection threshold of blood using two immunological tests. The aim of this work was to compare the ability to recover blood trace and the compatibility with immunological confirmatory test of various Genetics 4N6FLOQswabs™ nylon flocked swabs with or without surfactant.The results obtain in this study show that Genetics 4N6FLOQswabs™ not coated with surfactant and Human DNA free FLOQswabs™ were suitable for the used in combination with immunological blood detection tests. Nevertheless, the Genetics 4N6FLOQswabs™ not surfactant coated give a better blood trace recovery. 相似文献

The detection of chromogranins (Cg) by immunohistochemistry and serology represents a new in vitro diagnostic tool for endocrine tumours. We have recently reported on the feasibility of targeting chromogranin A (CgA) for in vivo detection of pituitary adenomas by immunoscintigraphy (ISG). The scintigraphic procedure, based on an anti-CgA monoclonal antibody and on the avidin-biotin three-step method (Cg-3S-ISG), was evaluated on a group of 29 consecutive patients with known or suspected endocrine tumours other than pituitary adenomas, i.e. medullary thyroid carcinoma, carcinoid, insulinoma and parathormone- or ACTH-producing tumours. Primary tumours (10) and recurrences (16) were visualised in 26 patients, whereas conventional imaging techniques (planar radiography, computerised tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography) failed to detect the tumour sites in ten of the same (Cg-3S-ISG-positive) patients. Therefore, these preliminary results indicate that Cg-3S-ISG, the first immunological method able to detect endocrine tumours in vivo, has a higher diagnostic accuracy than conventional imaging techniques (93.1% compared with 65.5%). 相似文献

The sensitivity of (31)P MRS can be increased using higher magnetic fields, but also by using (1)H to (31)P polarization transfer techniques where the sensitivity is determined by the polarization of the proton spins and thus the signal-to-noise per unit time is unaffected by the slow T(1) relaxation properties of the (31)P spins. This implies that (31)P spins can be manipulated during the T(1) relaxation of the (1)H spins without affecting the signal-to-noise of the (1)H to (31)P polarization transferred spins. It is shown here that by combining (1)H to (31)P polarization transfer with a direct (31)P detection sequence in one repetition time, one can gain more signal-to-noise per unit of time as compared to a polarization transfer sequence alone. Proof of principle was demonstrated by phantom measurements and additionally the method was applied to the human calf muscle and to the human breast in vivo at 7 T. 相似文献

A study was made of the in vivo detectability of a pH-sensitive, imidazolidine spin probe, and the efficacy of low-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR)-based techniques for pH measurement in vitro and in vivo in rats. The techniques used were longitudinally-detected ESR (LODESR) and field-cycled dynamic nuclear polarization (FC-DNP) for in vitro and in vivo measurements, and radiofrequency (RF)- and X-band ESR for comparisons in vitro. The spin probe was hexamethyl imidazolidine (HMI) with a pK of 4.6. All techniques detected HMI. Detection by FC-DNP implies coupling between the free radical and solvent water spins. Separations between the three spectral lines of the nitroxide radical, relative to measurement frequency, were consistent with theory. The overall spectrum width from unprotonated HMI (pH > pK) was greater than that from protonated agent (pH < pK). This was observed in vitro and in vivo. Longer-term studies showed that HMI is detectable and has the same spectral width (i.e., is at the same pH) up to 2 hr after gavage into the stomach, although the magnitude of the signal decreases rapidly during the first hour. These findings demonstrate the suitability of LODESR and FC-DNP for monitoring HMI and measuring pH in vivo. These techniques would be useful for monitoring disease and drug pharmacology in the living system. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to present current theories of pathogenesis and prognosis in urinary tract infection (UTI) and renal scarring during infancy and childhood, with special regard to new insights concerning the role of vesico-ureteral reflux (VUR). For a long time VUR and UTI were considered the only risk factors for renal scarring in childhood. Now a wider spectrum of contributing conditions is commonly accepted, which all may pose different clinical consequences and require different imaging approaches. Particularly bilateral renal scarring causes long-term sequalae; therefore, renal involvement in UTI with potential scarring has become the clinical and imaging focus, and proper diagnosis of UTI as the key factor for further management has become even more important. The VUR still remains one issue on a list of important factors such as treatment onset and response, bacterial virulence, immunological factors, genetic disposition, anatomical variants, and lower urinary tract dysfunction. Recent advances in knowledge leading to changed patho-physiological concepts, and new imaging techniques, may consecutively impact the presently established standard imaging algorithms. New, advanced imaging techniques offer improved and accelerated comprehensive imaging of the paediatric urinary tract. At present, this is complimentary to the established gold standard techniques. Strong research efforts have to be made before suggesting significant changes of current imaging concepts; however, based on recent technical advances and new insight on the natural history of paediatric urological diseases, potential changes of established imaging algorithms need to be discussed and evaluated. 相似文献

In vivo 13C spectroscopy experiments were performed using a whole-body MR system at a static field of 4 T. The main goal of the investigations was to evaluate the sensitivity increase achievable by means of 13C/1H double-resonance techniques at 4 T. Spectra from subcutaneous fat as well as muscle glycogen from the lower leg were acquired using frequency selective proton decoupling and the polarization transfer method SINEPT. With respect to measurements on subcutaneous fat, polarization transfer turned out to be more efficient than selective decoupling. About a fourfold enhancement in spectral peak intensity for the C = C line doublet of the unsaturated fatty acid chain was obtained. Combining polarization transfer with decoupling yielded a factor of 6 in signal amplitude. In contrast to that, the signal enhancement observed in measurements on the glycogen C-1 resonance was only around twofold. The lower efficiency is explained by fast T2 relaxation of the proton transition. A T2 value of about 3 ms was derived from the experimental data. Acquisition times as low as 3 min were realized for normal level glycogen in human calf muscle, enabling a time resolution adequate for dynamic studies on muscle glycogen depletion. Aspects of RF power absorption in tissue and the generally higher efficiency make polarization transfer methods preferable to selective decoupling in whole-body 13C spectroscopy at 4 T. 相似文献

Some of these new compounds may be integrated in well-known screening procedures (via aminobenzophenones and detection by the Bratton-Marshall reagent); others require special concepts for detection. The problems are indicated and discussed, including the use of high-pressure-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry; recommendations are given.In memoriam Johann Bösche 相似文献

The development of hyperpolarized tracers has been limited by short nuclear polarization lifetimes. The dominant relaxation mechanism for many hyperpolarized agents in solution arises from intramolecular nuclear dipole-dipole coupling modulated by molecular motion. It has been previously demonstrated that nuclear spin relaxation due to this mechanism can be removed by storing the nuclear polarization in long-lived, singlet-like states. In the case of N(2)O, storing the polarization of the nitrogen nuclei has been shown to substantially increase the polarization lifetime. The feasibility of utilizing N(2)O as a tracer is investigated by measuring the singlet-state lifetime of the N(2)O when dissolved in a variety of solvents including whole blood. Comparison of the singlet lifetime to longitudinal relaxation and between protonated and deuterated solvents is consistent with the dominance of spin-rotation relaxation, except in the case of blood. 相似文献

Cancer persists as one of the most devastating diseases in the world. Problems including metastasis and tumor resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy have seriously limited the therapeutic effects of present clinical treatments. To overcome these limitations, cancer gene therapy has been developed over the last two decades for a broad spectrum of applications, from gene replacement and knockdown to vaccination, each with different requirements for gene delivery. So far, a number of genes and delivery vectors have been investigated, and significant progress has been made with several gene therapy modalities in clinical trials. Viral vectors and synthetic liposomes have emerged as the vehicles of choice for many applications. However, both have limitations and risks that restrict gene therapy applications, including the complexity of production, limited packaging capacity, and unfavorable immunological features. While continuing to improve these vectors, it is important to investigate other options, particularly nonviral biological agents such as bacteria, bacteriophages, and bacteria-like particles. Recently, many molecular imaging techniques for safe, repeated, and high-resolution in vivo imaging of gene expression have been employed to assess vector-mediated gene expression in living subjects. In this review, molecular imaging techniques for monitoring biological gene delivery vehicles are described, and the specific use of these methods at different steps is illustrated. Linking molecular imaging to gene therapy will eventually help to develop novel gene delivery vehicles for preclinical study and support the development of future human applications. 相似文献

High nuclear spin polarization of (13)C was reached in organic molecules. Enhancements of up to 10(4), compared to thermal polarization at 1.5 T, were achieved using the parahydrogen-induced polarization technique in combination with a field cycling method. While parahydrogen has no net polarization, it has a high spin order, which is retained when hydrogen is incorporated into another molecule by a chemical reaction. By subjecting this molecule to a sudden change of the external magnetic field, the spin order is transferred into net polarization. A (13)C angiogram of an animal was generated in less than a second.
