Homocystein Level and Total Antioxidant Capacity in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Abstract Background and Objective: Oxidant-antioxidant imbalance plays a key role in pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aimed to evaluate homocystiene and total antioxidant capacity in COPD patients, compared to smoker and non-smoker healthy people. Material and Methods: We measured total antioxidant capacity with Cayman Kit, uric acid with Pars Azm...
متن کاملPulmonary ventilation visualized using hyperpolarized helium-3 and xenon-129 magnetic resonance imaging: differences in COPD and relationship to emphysema.
In subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hyperpolarized xenon-129 ((129)Xe) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals significantly greater ventilation defects than hyperpolarized helium-3 ((3)He) MRI. The physiological and/or morphological determinants of ventilation defects and the differences observed between hyperpolarized (3)He and (129)Xe MRI are not yet understood. H...
متن کاملFast dynamic ventilation MRI of hyperpolarized 129Xe using spiral imaging
PURPOSE To develop and optimize a rapid dynamic hyperpolarized 129 Xe ventilation (DXeV) MRI protocol and investigate the feasibility of capturing pulmonary signal-time curves in human lungs. THEORY AND METHODS Spiral k-space trajectories were designed with the number of interleaves Nint = 1, 2, 4, and 8 corresponding to voxel sizes of 8 mm, 5 mm, 4 mm, and 2.5 mm, respectively, for field of...
متن کاملComparison of 3 He and 129 Xe MRI for evaluation of lung microstructure and ventilation at 1.5T.
BACKGROUND To support translational lung MRI research with hyperpolarized 129 Xe gas, comprehensive evaluation of derived quantitative lung function measures against established measures from 3 He MRI is required. Few comparative studies have been performed to date, only at 3T, and multisession repeatability of 129 Xe functional metrics have not been reported. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS To compare hy...
متن کامل3D Diffusion-Weighted Xe MRI for Whole Lung Morphometry
Purpose: To obtain whole lung morphometry measurements from Xe in a single breath-hold with 3D multiple b-value Xe diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) with an empirically optimized diffusion time and compressed sensing for scan acceleration. Methods: Prospective three-fold undersampled 3D multiple bvalue hyperpolarized Xe DW-MRI datasets were acquired, and the diffusion time (D) was iterated so as ...
