| Research Abstract |
Free radical is reportedly associated with various diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cerebrovascular accident, and cancer. In this study, we investigated the relationship between free radical generation and the initiation/development of diseases using in vivo ESR/spin probe technique. The ESR signal decay rate of MC-PROXYL, which is a membrane-permeable nitroxyl probe, in N-diethylnitrosoamine (DEN)-treated group is enhanced compared with that in control group, while the ESR signal decay rate of carbamoyl-PROXYL, which is a less membrane-permeable probe, in DEN-treated group is not changed, suggesting that reactive oxygen species is generated at the intracellular compartment of liver in DEN-treated rat.
OMRI is a newly developed imaging apparatus, which enables us to get free radical images with higher space resolution and shorter measuring time. We developed the molecular imaging system that is to visualize the redox reactions between in cell and out of cell simultaneously with

^<14>N-or ^<15>N-labeled nitroxyl probes. Phantom objects containing ascorbic acid-encapsulated liposomes with membrane-permeable radicals but not membrane-impermeable ones show a time-dependent decrease of the OMRI image intensity. This OMRI system was applied to the in vivo free radical detection of experimental disease models such as NSAIDs-induced gastric ulcer and ulcerative colitis, and in vivo mapping of enhanced radical generation at the intra-cellular compartment and/or the extra-cellular compartment that was induced by the development of disease was obtained
However, the images of 0.015 T OMRI have low time and space resolution, resulting in the inaccurate anatomical information because its MRI magnetic field is too low. So, in this study sample transport OMRI system having 0.4 T was developed. The clear image of the phantom, which is composed of cylindrical grass tube (diameter 2.0 mm, wall thickness 0.35 mm) and rectangular container filled with nitroxyl radical solution, was obtained using this sample transport OMRI Less
