Objective To improve the sensitivity of MR molecular imaging by using targeting and magnifying effects of biotin-avidin system (BAS). Methods After preparing biotinylated monoclonal antibody HAb18, the number of biotin molecules coupled to each antibody and the binding capacity of biotinylated antibody were determined. Two-step pretargeting tumor imaging was first achieved by intravenously injecting biotinylated monoclonal antibody HAb18 into 8 BALB/c nude mice bearing QGY-7723 tumor cells line. 24 h later, Gd-DTAP-streptavidin (Gd-DTPA-SA) was injected. Gd-DTPA-HAb18 and Gd-DTPA were respectively injected intravenously into the other 12 tumor-bearing mice as contrast groups. MR imaging was performed before and 10, 30, 60 min, 3, 6, 12, 24 h, and 48 h after injection of MR contrast agents. All images were obtained using SE T_1-weighted imaging sequence. After MR imaging, enhancement time course of three different groups was determined by using enhancement data measured in the region of interest in the tumor. Enhancement ratio and contrast-to-noise of tumor were also calculated. Results The average number of biotin conjugated with each monoclonal antibody molecular was 20. And the immunoactivity of biotinylated antibody was 91%. In two-step pretargeting strategy, SI of tumor increased slowly and reached the maximum value at 6 h after injection of Gd-DTPA-SA, enhancement ratio and CNR of tumor had significant difference with other two enhancement methods. The enhancing effect of tumor was still perceptible even after 48 h. When using Gd-DTPA-HAb18, the tumor enhancement pattern was slow and slight. Even at 24 h after injection of Gd-DTPA-HAb18, enhancement ratio of tumor was 13.5%. After Gd-DTPA was injected, signal intensity of tumor increased rapidly, and reached the maximum value at 30 min after injection of Gd-DTPA, and then decreased rapidly. Conclusion Two-step pretargeting strategy based on BAS has specific and signal magnifying effects in tumor MR imaging. It can increase the number of gadolinium that bind to the tumor and provide new approach to MR molecular imaging.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of natural and synthetic borneol on the transdermal absorption of emodin. METHODS: The supplying and receiving solutions containing emodin were selected from the abdominal skin of mice in vitro, and the samples were analyzed by HPLC. The cumulative permeability, permeability rate and permeability enhancement factor were used as the evaluation indexes of the permeability enhancement effect. RESULTS: The saline containing 1% Tween 80-80% ethanol and 60% ethanol could increase the solubility of emodin to 648 μg•mL -1 and obtain conditions of leaking trough. The penetration rate of emodin was 648 μg•mL - 1 > 569 μg•mL -1 > 457 μg•mL -1 in the range of concentration. The penetration enhancement effect of synthetic borneol was 2% > 4% > 1% > blank control group > 3% and 5%, and the steady-state permeation rates of 2% natural borneol (15.90 μg•cm- 2•h - 1 ) were higher than those of 2% synthetic borneol(12.44 μg•cm-2•h-1). CONCLUSION: Natural borneol and synthetic borneol can promote the transdermal penetration of emodin, which is limited by their concentration. This provides an experimental basis for the selection of emodin transdermal enhancers.
