Abstract

To determine whether lesion evolution in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients is altered by treatment with interferonbeta1b (IFNbeta-1b) or by intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) as measured by magnetization transfer imaging. Magnetization transfer ratios (MTR) of 225 contrast enhancing lesions (CEL), in four RRMS patients were serially determined for 12 months before and 12-18 months after contrast enhancement in a baseline vs treatment trial with IFNbeta-1b. During the baseline period, 185 new CEL were identified: 76 were treated with IVMP (1 g/day x 5 days) and designated steroid CEL (S-CEL); the remaining 109 were considered baseline lesions (BCEL). During IFNbeta-1b treatment, 40 CEL (IFN-CEL) were identified. After image co-registration, regions of interest (ROIs) defining new CEL were transferred to the MTR image set to determine the mean lesion MTR on each monthly exam. The lesion MTR was compared to MTR of normal appearing white matter (NAWM) on the same exam. As early as 12 months prior to enhancement, the MTR of CEL was reduced compared to NAWM (mean 9.43 +/- 3.2%; P<0.001). The further reduction in MTR (28% +/- 4.0) at the time of contrast enhancement was not significantly different for BCEL, S-C...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
