Journal ArticleDOI
First in vivo MRI assessment of a self‐assembled metallostar compound endowed with a remarkable high field relaxivity
João Bruno Livramento,Claudia Weidensteiner,M. I. M. Prata,Peter R. Allegrini,Carlos F. G. C. Geraldes,Lothar Helm,Rainer Kneuer,Andre E. Merbach,A. C. Santos,Philipp Schmidt,Éva Tóth,Éva Tóth +11 more
TL;DR: These studies have confirmed that the approximately four times higher relaxivity measured in vitro for the metallostar is retained under in vivo conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and in vivo studies of metal chelates of Ga(III) relevant to biomedical imaging.
TL;DR: These NMR results show the presence of a 1:1 Ga(NOTP)3- complex, with a highly symmetrical, pseudo-octahedral geometry, possibly with a C3 axis, which agrees well with previous results from biodistribution and gamma imaging studies in Wistar rats with 67Ga3+ chelates of triaza macrocyclic ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silencing of Phosphonate-Gadolinium Magnetic Resonance Imaging Contrast by Hydroxyapatite Binding
F. Caseiro Alves,Paulo Donato,A. Dean Sherry,A. Dean Sherry,Atif Zaheer,Shanrong Zhang,Angelo J. M. Lubag,Matthew E. Merritt,Robert E. Lenkinski,John V. Frangioni,Maria Teresa Neves,M. Isabel M. Prata,A. C. Santos,João Pedroso Lima,Carlos F. G. C. Geraldes +14 more
TL;DR: In vitro experiments demonstrated that GdDOTP5−-induced changes in relaxivity were silenced upon HA binding but could be recovered by acid elution of the complex, suggesting a novel strategy for creating highly sensitive, switchable MRI contrast agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeting of lanthanide(III) chelates of DOTA-type glycoconjugates to the hepatic asyaloglycoprotein receptor: cell internalization and animal imaging studies
M. I. M. Prata,A. C. Santos,Susana Torres,João P. André,José A. Martins,Marco A. C. Neves,María L. García-Martín,Tiago B. Rodrigues,Tiago B. Rodrigues,Pilar López-Larrubia,Sebastián Cerdán,Carlos F. G. C. Geraldes +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the valency increase improves the targeting capability of the glycoconjugates, which is also affected by their topology, and despite the specific liver uptake of the radiolabeled galactose-bearing multivalent compounds, the animal MRI assessment of the corresponding Gd(3+) chelates shows liver-to-kidney contrast effects which are not significantly better than those shown by GdDTPA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Peak Power In Relation To Age, Body Size, Gender, and Thigh Muscle Volume
TL;DR: Two studies used multilevel modelling to examine optimised peak power (PPopt) from a force velocity test over the age range 12–14 years and demonstrated TMV to be a significant additional explanatory variable alongside body mass and stature with neither age nor gender making a significant contribution to PPopt.
