Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of hemolyzed plasma, with a H‐Index (Lippi et al., 2018 (link)) of about 600, was investigated by analyzing five replicate samples at a QC high and extra low concentration.
The effect of lipemic plasma, with a concentration of 150 and 300 mg/dL purified soya bean oil (Intralipid 20%, Fresenius Kabi, Etten‐Leur, the Netherlands), was investigated by analyzing five replicate samples at a QC low concentration. The percentage deviation between the mean concentrations as compared to the nominal value and the relative standard deviation in the measurement of each condition had to be less than 15%.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PN formulation was based upon previous neonatal piglet studies21 (link), 22 (link). A pre-mixed formulation (Clinimix E 8/14; Baxter, Deerfield, IL) with added calcium gluconate (0.5 mEq/mL), thiamine (10 mg/day), and lipid (Intralipid 20%; Fresenius Kabi, Uppsala, Sweden) was used. No additional vitamins were added. At target nutritional intake, PN provided energy 125 kcal/kg/d, amino acids 8 g/kg/d, dextrose 14 g/kg/d, lipid 5 g/kg/d, and intravenous fluid 126 mL/kg/d. We previously validated the energy requirements for this age and sex of piglets19 (link). PN was started at 25% of caloric needs (study day −4) and increased by 25% daily until reaching 100% of caloric needs (study day −1).

Lipid Emulsion-Induced Canine Serum Lipemia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A commercial lipid emulsion (Intralipid® 20%, Fresenius Kabi, Germany) was used to test the effect of lipemia. Again, non-lipemic pooled canine serum was divided into two tubes: non-spiked serum (4.5 mL of serum and 250 µL of distilled water) and spiked serum (4.5 mL of serum and 250 µL of Intralipid®). Eight solutions were prepared to yield increasing lipid concentrations, as previously described (see Supplementary material Table 3a). The final TG concentrations were measured using a biochemistry analyzer (IDEXX Catalyst One®, USA) and ranged from 112 to 1950 mg/dL (representing extreme lipemia). Additionally, further solutions were prepared to achieve lower TG concentrations of 86, 111 and 161 mg/dL, representing slight lipemia (see Supplementary material Table 3b).

Liquid Phantoms for Brain Tumor Fluorescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four sets of liquid phantoms were prepared to model the actual clinical measurement situation (see Table 1). These included zero signal, low signal, high signal, and error signal. The phantoms modeled the optical properties of the brain tumor using ink and intralipid 20% (Fresenius Kabi, Uppsala, Sweden) [18 (link)] including tissue autofluorescence (AF) by adding turmeric dissolved in ethanol (zero signal). In two phantom sets (low and high signal), 10 and 30 g/l of PpIX disodium salt (MP Biomedicals, France) was added to model the low and high fluorescence signals, respectively. The PpIX concentration was chosen to be greater than what is measured in the brain to account for photobleaching effects on the signals and thus avoid variation in the generated sound on one spot. The maximum PpIX peak in the phantoms was at 634 ± 4 nm due to the chemical environment. In a fourth phantom set, the AF was blocked by additional ink to reflect the situation in which the measurements are obstructed by blood or no signal is recorded (error signal). The tray had 96 wells each of 7 mm diameter and 1 cm depth, see Figure 2a.

All drugs were of the highest purity available commercially: acetylcholine, the calcium ionophore A23187, sodium nitroprusside, l-arginine, and tiron were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Intralipid 20% and Lipofundin MCT/LCT 20% were donated by Fresenius Kabi Korea (Seoul, Korea) and B. Braun Korea (Seoul, Korea), respectively. All drug concentrations are expressed as the final molar concentration or as the final percentage of LE in the organ bath. The calcium ionophore A23187 was initially dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (final organ bath concentration: 0.05%) and subsequently diluted in distilled water. Unless stated otherwise, all other drugs were dissolved and diluted in distilled water.

Intralipid-Gelatin Phantom for Optical Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The intralipid-gelatin phantom was made from intralipid (Intralipid 20%, Fresenius Kabi, Sweden), porcine skin gelatin (10% by weight, G2500-1kG, Sigma-Aldrich, USA), and deionized water (42 (link)). With a lipid concentration of 1.5 g ml−1, the reduced scattering coefficient μs was ~10 cm−1. Acrylic spacers with a thickness of 0.15 cm were sandwiched between two acrylic sheets to accurately control the thickness of the intralipid-gelatin phantom to be 0.15 cm (equivalent to 1.5 lt , where lt denotes the transport mean free path).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
