The complex anion [Y Ⅲ(dtpa)(H_2O)] 2- has a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic nine-coordinate structure in which eight coordinate atoms, three N and five O are from a dtpa ligand and one water molecule coordinates to Y Ⅲ ion directly as the ninth ligand.

Gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging can predict the pathologic stage of solitary hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND Although important for determining long-term outcome, pathologic stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is difficult to predict before surgery. Current state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using gadoxetic acid provides many imaging features that could potentially be used to classify single HCC as pT1 or pT2. AIM To determine which gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI (EOB-MRI) findings predict pathologic stage T2 in patients with solitary HCC (cT1). METHODS Pre-operative EOB-MRI findings were reviewed in a retrospective cohort of patients with solitary HCC. The following imaging features were examined: Hyperintensity in unenhanced T2-weighted images, hypointensity in unenhanced T1-weighted images, arterial enhancement, corona enhancement, washout appearance, capsular appearance, hypointensity in the tumor tissue during the hepatobiliary (HB) phase, peritumoral hypointensity in the HB phase, hypointense rim in the HB phase, intratumoral fat, hyperintensity on diffusionweighted imaging, hypointensity on apparent diffusion coefficient map, mosaic appearance, nodule-in-nodule appearance, and the margin (smooth or irregular). Surgical pathology was used as the reference method for tumor staging. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of microvascular invasion or satellite nodules. RESULTS There were 39 (34.2%;39 of 114) and 75 (65.8%;75 of 114) pathological stage T2 and T1 HCCs, respectively. Large tumor size (≥ 2.3 cm) and two MRI findings, i.e., corona enhancement [odds ratio = 2.67;95% confidence interval: 1.101-6.480] and peritumoral hypointensity in HB phase images (odds ratio = 2.203;95% confidence interval: 0.961-5.049) were associated with high risk of pT2 HCC. The positive likelihood ratio was 6.25 (95% confidence interval: 1.788-21.845), and sensitivity of EOB-MRI for detecting pT2 HCC was 86.2% when two or three of these MRI features were present. Small tumor size and hypointense rim in the HB phase were regarded as benign features. Small HCCs with hypointense rim but not associated with aggressive features were mostly pT1 lesions (specificity, 100%). CONCLUSION Imaging features on EOB-MRI could potentially be used to predict the pathologic stage of solitary HCC (cT1) as pT1 or pT2.

Focal liver lesions detection and characterization: The advantages of gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI

Since its clinical introduction, several studies in literature have investigated gadolinium ethoxybenzhyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid or gadoxetic acid(Gd-EOB-DTPA) properties. Following contrast injection, it provides dynamic vascular phases(arterial, portal and equilibrium phases) and hepatobiliary phase, the latter due to its uptake by functional hepatocytes. The main advantages of Gd-EOB-DTPA of focal liver lesion detection and characterization are discussed in this paper. Namely, we focus on the possibility of distinguishing focal nodular hyperplasia(FNH) from hepatic adenoma(HA), the identification of early hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and the pre-operative assessment of metastasis in liver parenchyma. Regarding the differentiation between FNH and HA, adenoma typically appears hypointense in hepatobiliary phase, whereas FNH is isointense or hyperintense to the surrounding hepatic parenchyma. As for the identification of early HCCs, many papers recently published in literature have emphasized the contribution of hepatobiliary phase in the characterization of nodules without a typical hallmark of HCC. Atypical nodules(no hypervascularizaton observed on arterial phase and/or no hypovascular appearance on portal phase) with low signal intensity in the hepatobiliary phase, have a high probability of malignancy. Finally, regarding the evaluation of focal hepatic metastases, magnetic resonance pre-operative assessment using gadoxetic acid allows for more accurate diagnosis.

Efficient adsorption of Mn(Ⅱ) by layered double hydroxides intercalated with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and the mechanistic study

In this study,greatly enhanced Mn(Ⅱ) adsorption was achieved by as-synthesized diethylenetriaminepentaacetate acid intercalated Mg/Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs-DTPA).The adsorption capacity of LDHs-DTPA was 83.5 mg/g,which is much higher than that of LDHs-EDTA (44.4 mg/g),LDHs-Oxalate (21.6 mg/g) and LDHs (28.8 mg/g).The adsorption data of aqueous Mn(Ⅱ) using LDHs-DTPA could be well described by the pseudosecond order kinetics and Langrnuir isotherm model.Thermodynamics study results also showed that the adsorption process of Mn(Ⅱ) by LDHs-DTPA was exothermic as indicated by the negative △H value.Furthermore,based on the structural,morphological and thermostable features,as well as FT-IR and XPS characterizations of LDHs-DTPA and the pristine LDHs,the adsorption mechanism of Mn(Ⅱ) was proposed.The carboxyl groups of DTPA were proposed to be the main binding sites for Mn(Ⅱ),and the hydroxyl groups of LDHs also played a minor role in the adsorption process.Among the three common regeneration reagents,0.1 mol/L Na2CO3 was the best for reusing LDHs-DTPA in Mn(Ⅱ) adsorption.Besides,the Mn(Ⅱ) adsorption performance could be hindered in the presence of typical inorganic ions,especially cations.Further specific modifications of LDHs-DTPA are suggested to get more selective adsorption of Mn(ll) in practical applications.

Dopamine-containing gadolinium complex as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent

Gadolinium diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic bisdopamide （Gd-DTPA-2DA） was synthesized by the incorporation of dopamine to diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid （DTPA） and further reaction with gadolinium chloride. In vitro and in vivo properties were also evaluated. Gadolinium complex Gd-DTPA-2DA possessed higher relaxation effectiveness and less cytotoxicity to HeLa cells than that of Gd-DTPA. Moreover, Gd-DTPA-2DA greatly enhanced the contrast of MR images of the brains, provided prolonged intravascular duration, and pro- duced highly contrasted visualization of the brain.

Preparation of polyethylene oxide with 4-amino-N-(2-pyrimidinyl) benzene sulfonamide and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid end groups and its enrichment in tumour tissues

Using polyethylene oxide (PEO) with 4 amino N (2 pyrimidinyl) benzene sulfonamide (APBS) and hydroxyl end groups (PEO a h ) as parent compounds, PEO with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) and APBS end groups (PEO a d ) was prepared by functionization of PEO a h . After complexation of PEO a d with isotopes of 153 Sm and 99 Tc, and injecting the polymer drug into the Kunming white mouse transplanted with Sarcoma 180, it was confirmed by γ counter that the PEO a d could be concentrated selectively in the tumour tissues, the ratio of concentration of the polymer drug in tumour tissue to that in ordinary organs such as liver, heart, spleen, muscle, blood and bone marrow is about 2.3:1 or even 10:1.

Synthesis and relaxivity of Gd(Ⅲ), Fe(Ⅲ) and Mn(Ⅱ) complexes with dihydropyridine derivative of diethvlenetriaminepentaacetic acid

A novel ligand of DTPA-dihydropyridine derivative was synthesized by reaction of DTPA-dianhydride with 4-aniline-1,4-dihydropyridine. Its complexes of gadolinium, manganese and iron were prepared. Their spin-lattice relaxivities (T1) were investigated. The results show that the NMR T1 relaxivitives (R1) for complexes of Fe(Ⅲ), Mn(Ⅱ) are less than that of Gd(Ⅲ) complex,which has a high relaxivity (R1) on the surrounding water protons, indicating that the Gd(Ⅲ) complex possesses the precondition to be contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging.
