Multiple slot modules for high field magnetic resonance imaging array coils.

Purpose: Mitigating coupling effects between coil elements represents a continuing challenge. Here, we present a 16-bowtie slot volume coil arranged in eight independent dual-slot modules without the use of any decoupling circuits.

Methods: Two electrically short "bowtie" slot antennas were used to form a "module.

Retention Time Extended by Nanoparticles Improves the Eradication of Highly Antibiotic-Resistant .

infection usually causes gastrointestinal complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, and serious infections may lead to gastric cancer. Amoxicillin is used to treat numerous bacterial infections but is easily decomposed in the gastric acid environment via the hydrolyzation of the β-lactam ring. In this study, we develop chitosan-based nanoparticles loaded with amoxicillin (CAANs) as an eradication platform.

The synergistic effect of chemo-photothermal therapies in SN-38-loaded gold-nanoshell-based colorectal cancer treatment.

7-Ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN-38)-loaded gold nanoshells nanoparticles (HSP@Au NPs) were developed for combined chemo-photothermal therapy to treat colorectal cancer. SN-38-loaded nanoparticles (HSP NPs) were prepared by the lyophilization-hydration method, and then developed into gold nanoshells. The nanoparticles were characterized and assessed for photothermal properties, cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility .

The Synergistic Effect of Hyperthermia and Chemotherapy in Magnetite Nanomedicine-Based Lung Cancer Treatment.

Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer patient death in the world. There are many treatment options for lung cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and combined therapy. Despite significant progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer during the past few decades, the prognosis is still unsatisfactory.

Residence Time-Extended Nanoparticles by Magnetic Field Improve the Eradication Efficiency of .

infection is one of the leading causes of several gastroduodenal diseases, such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. In fact, eradication provides a preventive effect against the incidence of gastric cancer. Amoxicillin is a commonly used antibiotic for eradication.

Flexible RF Filtering Front-End For Simultaneous Multinuclear MR Spectroscopy.

Simultaneously interrogation of multiple nuclei has been of interest since the very earliest days of MRI [1]-[3]. Our group and several others are revisiting this topic [4]-[6]. Very fast broadband electronics make it possible to digitize a wide spectrum, including multiple nuclei, but this places great demands on data throughput.
