Na**particles made With a shell of silica (SiO2) and a core of radiopaque tantalum oxide (TaOx) are used to make a Tissue adhesive and visible to ultrasound, X-ray, and fluorescent imaging.Researchers at Korea’s Institute for Basic Science and Seoul National University Hospital have designed and tested a Glue for binding tissues that also works as a contrast agent for X-rays, CTs, and Ultrasound imaging modalities. This is the first such Tissue Glue to have this set of properties, and, if approved for clinical applications,*may end up displacing other adhesives because it can be later easily monitored as to how it’s holding tissues together. The material is made of na**particles that have tantalum oxide at their center, a radiopaque material, and a silica exterior that provides the gluing action. Tested to exhibit less cellular toxicity than a combination of FDA approved cya**acrylate, a Tissue adhesive, and lipiodol, a radiopaque contrast agent (CA-Lp), the new material was successfully used to repair a damaged liver, and connect moving tissues of the lung and limbs in laboratory animals. Its radiopaque properties were similar to lipiodol and it was about as visible as cya**acrylate under X-rays. Na**particles made With a shell of silica (SiO2) and a core of radiopaque tantalum oxide (TaOx) are used to make a Tissue adhesive and visible to ultrasound, X-ray, and fluorescent imaging.From Institute for Basic Science: CA-Lp tends to trigger immune reaction within 3 days from the operation and inflammation after 14-65 days, while experiments showed that TSN did **t show such adverse effects after 56 days.Here’s a quick video demonstrating the new Glue under X-rays: Study in Nature Communications: Multifunctional na**particles as a tissue adhesive and an injectable marker for image-guided procedures… Via: Institute for Basic Science… ??????? ??????: New Tissue Glue Can be Clearly Seen With X-Rays and Ultrasound || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
