Characterising the chemical and physical properties of phase-change nanodroplets [PDF]
Phase-change nanodroplets have attracted increasing interest in recent years as ultrasound theranostic nanoparticles. They are smaller compared to microbubbles and they may distribute better in tissues (e.g. in tumours).

Perfluorocarbon restrains inflammation and cell apoptosis in rats with lung ischemia reperfusion injury via down regulation of TLR4/NF κB signaling pathway [PDF]
Purpose: To exaluate the effect of perfluorocarbon on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, and to unravel the potential underlying mechanism.Methods: A total of 36 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned to sham group, model group, and ...

Prolongation of the Intestinal Viability Using Oxygenated Perfluorocarbon in an Experimental Model of Acute Intestinal Ischemia [PDF]
ObjectivesLiquid perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are well known for their capability to carry respiratory gases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oxygenated F-Decalin on the intestinal viability, in an experimental model of acute ...

A Review of Innovations in Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment Surgical Techniques. [PDF]
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) requires surgical intervention for its repair. There are variable techniques used for this purpose, and they are all being continuously refined.

The current study adopted an experimental paradigm of digital span to evaluate acute high‐altitude exposure impairment on working memory. The subjects showed obvious physiological adaptation mechanism at acute altitude. The results of hemodynamic response confirmed the important role of left DLPFC in the process of working memory, revealed abnormal ...

Tracer concentration profiles measured in central London as part of the REPARTEE campaign [PDF]
There have been relatively few tracer experiments carried out that have looked at vertical plume spread in urban areas. In this paper we present results from two tracer (cyclic perfluorocarbon) experiments carried out in 2006 and 2007 in central London ...

Low‐boiling Point Perfluorocarbon Nanodroplets as Dual‐Phase Dual‐Modality MR/US Contrast Agent
Low‐boiling point perfluorocarbon nanodroplets is vaporized into microbubbles using acoustic activation, establishing them as phase‐change contrast agents for ultrasound. The unique hyperCEST signatures of nanodroplets and microbubbles are demonstrated, enabling their use not only as a dual‐phase but also as a dual‐modality MR/US contrast agent ...

Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid droplet can be removed without puncturing the retina
Subfoveal perfluorocarbon liquid (PFL) is a vision-threatening complication that requires removal as safely as possible. We experienced a surgical case of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, in which a subfoveal PFL droplet was removed through the fovea ...
