摘要:
The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising magnetic nano-particles for magnetic targeting of drugs and imaging agents. The invention further relates to the use of said pharmaceutical composition as a drug carrier, for use as an imaging agent, for use as a medicament and specifically for use in cancer treatment by magnetic drug targeting using an external magnetic field. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing said pharmaceutical composition and a method for guiding and accumulating said pharmaceutical composition to a target tissue contained in a subject.
摘要:
A method for measuring a modified property of a sample comprising magnetic particles in suspension using time variable magnetic fields comprises the steps of: applying a time-varying magnetic excitation field, the excitation field having an excitation amplitude and an excitation frequency, and an offset magnetic field to the sample, such that the magnetic particles are driven into a non-linear magnetization response regime; recording a non-linear magnetization response of the sample for obtaining a signal metric indicative for a phase of a higher harmonic with respect to the excitation frequency in the non-linear magnetization response; and determining a measurement signal indicative of the modified property, the measurement signal being based on the signal metric obtained for the sample and the same signal metric obtained for a reference sample without the modified property, the reference sample also comprising the magnetic particles in suspension.
