Paragraph 0022; 0048-0049, (2018/11/22)
The invention relates to a superparamagnetic iron oxide nano MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) probe and a preparation method and application thereof. A chemical formula of the superparamagnetic iron oxide nano MRI probe is shown in the specification, wherein SPIO refers to superparamagnetic iron oxide, CTX refers to scorpion chloride toxins, and n refers to degree of polymerization and is an arbitrary integer from 4 to 200. The novel superparamagnetic iron oxide nano MRI probe is prepared successfully, a magnetic resonance imaging law of a nanoparticle solution of the MRI probe is identical to that of an SPIO solution, and the magnetic resonance imaging law refers to that along with increase of concentration of iron in the solution, signal intensity of a T1WI sequence is increased, and signal intensity of a T2WI sequence is reduced. The superparamagnetic iron oxide nano MRI probe has no evident cytotoxicity to human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and can be used for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Gold nanoparticles decorated with full-length sialic acid terminated complex bi-antennary N-glycans, synthesized with glycans isolated from egg yolk, were used as a sensor for the detection of both recombinant hemagglutinin (HA) and whole influenza A virus particles of the H1N1 subtype. Nanoparticle aggregation was induced by interaction between the sialic acid termini of the glycans attached to gold and the multivalent sialic acid binding sites of HA. Both dynamic light scattering (DLS) and UV/Vis spectroscopy demonstrated the efficiency of the sensor, which could detect viral HA at nanomolar concentrations and revealed a linear relationship between the extent of nanoparticle aggregation and the concentration of HA. UV/Vis studies also showed that these nanoparticles can selectively detect an influenza A virus strain that preferentially binds sialic acid terminated glycans with α(2→6) linkages over a strain that prefers glycans with terminal α(2→3)-linked sialic acids.
