| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A hyperpolarized Xe (HPXe) MRI system with extra-ordinary sensitivity was successfully developed by the use of original hyperpolarization techniques, enabling non-invasive pulmonary functional imaging unattainable by conventional methods and its application to preclinical evaluation. Treatment responses of a novel anti-inflammatory drug, ethyl pyruvate（EP), was confirmed exploring novel drugs for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), fibrosis, and emphysema by the system. Especially, EP had reversely treated the alveolar tissue damages induced by fibrosis. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is a first report about preclinical evaluation strategy using HPXe MRI.
