Polyaspartic acid grafted dopamine polymer chelated Fe 3+ for magnetic resonance imaging visual photothermal therapy agent / 生物医学工程学杂志

This study aims to explore the potential of polyaspartic acid grafted dopamine copolymer (PAsp- g-DA) chelated Fe 3+ for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visual photothermal therapy. Polyaspartic acid grafted copolymer of covalently grafted dopamine and polyethylene glycol (PAsp- g-DA/PEG) was obtained by the ammonolysis reaction of poly succinimide (PSI), and then chelated with Fe 3+ in aqueous solution. The relaxivity in vitro, magnetic resonance imaging enhancement in vivo and photothermal conversion effect at 808 nm were investigated. The results showed that polymeric iron coordination had good near-infrared absorption and photothermal conversion properties, good magnetic resonance enhancement effect, and good longitudinal relaxation efficiency under different magnetic field intensities. In summary, this study provides a new magnetic resonance visual photothermal therapeutic agent and a new research idea for the research in related fields.

Effects of total parenteral nutrition in the treatment of severe head injuries / 肠外与肠内营养

Twenty- five patients with severe head injury underwent early total parenteral nutrtion (TPN) support,and the blood glucose,serum albumin,body nutritional index and nitrogen balance were monitored in our case- controll study.We find that the patients with severe head injury could get more energy and protein from TPN than from enteral nutrition (EN) ,the mortality of the patients with TPN was significantly lower than the patients with EN.The total nutrient admixture(TNA) in our study can provide sufficient energy and protein,but cannot raise blood glucose,so it can make a good condition for the recovery of the severe head injuries.
