Regional quantitative determination of lactate in brain sections. A bioluminescent approach.
نویسنده
چکیده
Regional lactate distribution in brain was assessed quantitatively in coronal sections using a bioluminescent technique. This bioluminescence can be induced by covering freeze-dried and heat-inactivated brain sections with a frozen solution containing enzymes and coenzymes both for lactate-dependent NADH formation and NADH-dependent bioluminescence, which was recorded photographically. Quantification and density coding of bioluminescent images were carried out by utilizing the regression coefficients of the correlation between the optical density of bioluminescent pictures and the lactate content measured in tissue samples. Regional quantitative lactate images were obtained from brain tissue taken from brain tumors or after experimental cerebral ischemia.

The resiliency approach has the potential to pay attention to the sustainability paradigm in the area of planning in different dimensions and sectors as a new shadow approach to local policies with a global approach to regional development. However, the concept of resilience has emerged over the past years as an emerging approach to environmental planning and management literature. In this...
متن کاملComparison of Two Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Measurement Methods Used For Anatomical Localization of the Iron-Incorporated Deep Brain Nuclei
Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by lesions in the white matter (WM) of the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most specific and sensitive method for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. However, the ability of conventional MRI to show histopathologic heterogeneity of MS lesions is insufficient. Quantitative magnetization transfer imaging (qMTI) is a rel...

Typically, the diagnosis of a tumor is done through surgical sampling, which is more precise with existing methods. The difference is that this is an aggressive, time consuming and expensive way. In the statistical method, due to the complexity of the brain tissues and the similarity between the cancerous cells and the natural tissues, even a radiologist or an expert physician may also be in er...
