A small group of mice were anesthetized at PND19 using 4% isofluorane in air and sacrificed by decapitation. The entire heads were placed in tubes containing a cold solution of 4% Paraformaldehyde (PFA) and 8 mM Gadolium (Dotarem 0.5 mmol/ml, Guerbet). The tubes were then left at 4°C for 6–12 weeks for the contrast agent to fully diffuse and stabilize in tissue prior to ex-vivo imaging.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed on a 3T preclinical horizontal bore scanner (MR Solutions, Guilford, UK), equipped with a quadrature volume coil designed for rodent head imaging, with a 17 cm horizontal bore. On analysis day, the heads were placed in a custom-made 3D holder filled with fluorinert (3M, MN, USA) and anatomical and structural MRI sequences were acquired. Three dimensional Fast Spin Echo (FSE3D) anatomical series were used to calculate the volumes of brain sub-regions. Spin Echo Diffusion Tensor Imaging (SE-DTI) was used to calculate the diffusions parameters as described below. The details of each sequence have been reported in the Supplementary Data 6. The 3D Brain Atlas (Invicro's VivoQuant™) provided 14 sub-regions and the analysis of the changes in brain volume or in the diffusion parameters was performed with Matlab 2020b (MathWorks, MA, USA). The atlas provided 14 sub-regions and the analysis was completed for all sub-regions.

Multiparametric MRI Protocol for Prostate Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All MRI studies were performed using a combination of an endorectal coil (BPX-30; Medrad, Pittsburgh, Pa) tuned to 127.8 MHz and a 16-channel cardiac coil (SENSE; Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands) on a 3-T magnet (Achieva; Philips Medical Systems, Best, The Netherlands) without previous bowel preparation. The endorectal coil was inserted using a semianesthetic gel (Lidocaine; AstraZeneca, Wilmington, Del) while the patient was in the left lateral decubitus position. The balloon surrounding the coil was distended with perfluorocarbon (3 mol/L-Fluorinert; 3M, St Paul, Minn) to a volume of approximately 45 mL to reduce susceptibility artifacts induced by air in the coil's balloon. The MRI protocol included triplanar T2W turbo spin echo, DW MRI (5 b values evenly spaced between 0 and 750 s/mm2), 3-dimensional MR spectroscopy, axial precontrast T1W, axial 3-dimensional T1W fast field echo dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) sequences, and their detailed sequence parameters are listed in Table 1. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI had 5.6-second temporal resolution, with Magnevist (Bayer, Whippany, NJ) injected after first 3 phases. An additional lower flip angle of 2° dataset was acquired before the DCE sequence for per-voxel T1 relaxation rate calculation to be used for quantitative DCE postprocessing.

To help reduce any stress, all drugs were infused in the home cages. The stylets in the guide cannulae were replaced by a double infusion cannula (33 gauge, Plastics One) connected to two 5 μl microsyringes (WPI) in a microinfusion pump (Native Instruments) via flexible plastic tubing (C232CS, Plastics One) filled with Fluorinert (3M). The tips of infusion cannulae projected 0.5 mm below the tip of the guide cannulae. For intra-hippocampal microinjection, 0.5 μl of drug per cannula was infused at 0.2 μl min−1 (2.5 min). Infusion cannulas were left in place for a further 2.5 min before being replaced with stylets to aid drug absorption. For intra-VTA microinjection, 0.3 μl was injected at a rate of 0.3 μl min−1 (1 min) followed by 1-min of waiting. The mice were habituated to the experimental procedure of injection and to vehicle injection prior to the drug test in order to minimize novelty effect. Mice received drug injection 20 min (hippocampal microinfusions and i.p. injection of clonidine) or 3 min (VTA microinfusions) prior to the novelty exploration.

All MR imaging studies were performed using a combination of an endorectal coil (BPX-30; Medrad, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) tuned to 127.8 MHz and a 16-channel cardiac coil (SENSE; Philips Medical Systems, Best, the Netherlands) with a 3T magnet (Achieva: Philips Medical Systems, Best, the Netherlands), without prior bowel preparation. The endorectal coil was inserted using a semi-anesthetic gel (xylocaine, Lidocaine, Astra-Zeneca, Wilmington, DE, USA) while the patient was in the left lateral decubitus position. The balloon surrounding the coil was distended with 3-mol/L perfluorocarbon (Fluorinert; 3M, St Paul, MN, USA) to a volume of approximately 45mL, to reduce susceptibility artefacts induced by air in the coil’s balloon. The MR imaging protocol included triplanar T2-weighted turbo spin echo imaging, DW MRI imaging, axial three-dimensional fast-field-echo DCE MRI. Axial DCE images were obtained before, during, and after a single- dose of gadopentetate dimeglumine (Magnevist; Berlex, Wayne, NJ, USA), administered at a dose of 0.1 mmol per kilogram of body weight through a peripheral vein at a rate 3 mL/sec using a mechanical injector (Spectris MR injection System; Medrad, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Sequence parameters were defined in previous studies [16 (link), 17 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We introduced Galinstan (eutectic gallium indium stannum, Zairyo-ya.com) and liquid into a microchannel composed of PDMS (DuPont Toray Specialty Materials K.K.). We used water, vegetable oil (Kadoya Sesame Mill inc.), Fluorinert (3 M), and silicone oil (MOMENTIVE) as the liquids. One side of the through-hole of the PDMS microchannel was an inlet, and the other side was an outlet. We fabricated two kinds of channels, that is, a cylindrical channel and a square pole-shaped channel. The diameter of the cylindrical channel ϕ was 600 μm–1 mm, and the dimensions of the square pole channel were 500 μm × 500 μm. For observation of Galinstan in the microchannel, we used a microscope (DIGITAL MICROSCOPE VHX-500F, KEYENCE) and a transmission optical microscope (MX9430, MEJI TECHNO). All observation and experiments in this paper were performed at room temperature.

Multiparametric MRI for Prostate Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MR images were acquired with a 3-T system (Achieva 3 T-TX, Philips Healthcare) and the combination of the anterior half of a 32-channel cardiac sensitivity-encoding coil (Invivo, Philips Healthcare) and an endorectal coil (BPX-30, Medrad) filled with 45 mL of perfluorocarbon-based fluid (Fluorinert, 3M). The mpMRI protocol included T2-weighted imaging (axial, coronal, sagittal), DWI (b = 2000 s/mm2), and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI. DW images consisted of a high-b-value (2000 s/mm2) sequence and ADC map (from five evenly spaced b values of 0–750 s/mm2), which was the main sequence used for analysis. ADC maps were automatically calculated by the MRI unit software by means of a mono-exponential decay model fitted to data from images obtained at the five evenly spaced b values. The following model equation was used: S(b) = S(0) × exp(−b × ADC), where b is the gradient created by any one of the five b values used. The full mpMRI acquisition parameters are shown in Table 2.

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.
