Background: Accurate assessment of mitral regurgitation (MR) severity is crucial for clinical decision-making and optimizing patient outcomes. Recent advances in real-time three dimensional (3D) echocardiography provide the option of real-time full volume color Doppler echocardiography (FVCD) measurements. This makes it practical to quantify MR by subtracting aortic stroke volume from the volume of mitral inflow in an automated manner. Methods: Thirty-two patients with more than a moderate degree of MR assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)were consecutively enrolled during this study. MR volume was measured by 1) two dimensional (2D) Doppler TTE, using the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) and the volumetric quantification methods (VM). Then, 2) real time 3D-FVCD was subsequently obtained, and dedicated software was used to quantify the MR volume. MR volume was also measured using 3)phase contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (PC-CMR). In each patient, all these measurements were obtained within the same day. Automated MR quantification was feasible in 30 of 32 patients. Results: The mean regurgitant volume quantified by 2D-PISA, 2D-VM, 3D-FVCD, and PC-CMR was 72.1 ± 27.7, 79.9 ±36.9, 69.9 ± 31.5, and 64.2 ± 30.7 mL, respectively (p = 0.304). There was an excellent correlation between the MR volume measured by PC-CMR and 3D-FVCD (r = 0.85, 95% CI 0.70-0.93, p < 0.001). Compared with PC-CMR, Bland-Altman analysis for 3D-FVCD showed a good agreement (2 standard deviations: 34.3 mL) than did 2D-PISA or 2D-VM (60.0 and 62.8mL, respectively). Conclusion: Automated quantification of MR with 3D-FVCD is feasible and accurate. It is a promising tool for the real-time 3D echocardiographic assessment of patients with MR.

Single mode (either T1 or T2) contrast agents employed during magnetic resonance imaging owe their advantage over their dual counterparts to the fact that they do not involve any quenching caused by interference between the two modes. The chemistry involving oxides of manganese is highly significant due to their applicability as MRI contrast agents. Manganese oxides are usually known to display a dominant T1 relaxation enhancement. But, in this work, an engineered structure of manganese oxide (Mn2O3) nanoparticles encapsulated within mesoporous carbon frameworks was developed which exhibited dominant T2 contrast enhancement, through regulation of contact between the magnetic ion and water. Microstructural characterization revealed that the mesoporous carbon frameworks were spherical in shape and the nanoparticles within them had an average size of 40–50 nm. Relaxivity measurement, MRI experiments and cell viability assay convincingly established the system as a new class of biocompatible T2 based magnetic resonance imaging agent.

Background/Aims: Classical M1 macrophage activation exhibits an inflammatory phenotype while alternative M2 macrophage activation exhibits an anti-inflammatory phenotype. We aimed to determine whether there are discriminant patterns of macrophage polarization in Crohn’s disease (CD) and intestinal tuberculosis (iTB). Methods: Colonic mucosal biopsies from 29 patients with iTB, 50 with CD, and 19 controls were examined. Dual colored immunohistochemistry was performed for iNOS/CD68 (an M1ϕ marker) and CD163/CD68 (an M2ϕ marker), and the ratio of M1ϕ to M2ϕ was assessed. To establish the innate nature of macrophage polarization, we analyzed the extent of mitochondrial depolarization, a key marker of inflammatory responses, in monocyte-derived macrophages obtained from CD and iTB patients, following interferon-γ treatment. Results: M1ϕ polarization was more prominent in CD biopsies (P=0.002) than in iTB (P=0.2) and control biopsies. In granuloma-positive biopsies, including those in CD, M1ϕ predominance was significant (P=0.001). In iTB, the densities of M1ϕ did not differ between granuloma-positive and granuloma-negative biopsies (P=0.1). Interestingly, higher M1ϕ polarization in CD biopsies correlated with high inflammatory response exhibited by peripheral blood-derived monocytes from these patients. Conclusions: Proinflammatory M1ϕ polarization was more common in colonic mucosa of CD patients, especially in the presence of mucosal granulomas. Further characterization of the innate immune system could help in clarifying the pathology of iTB and CD.
