In a qualitative electron microscopy study we initially reported that exposure of rats to a standard clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure temporarily increased the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability to horseradish peroxidase. In this study, we quantitatively support our initial finding. Rats were injected intracardially with radio-labelled diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid [( 153Gd]DTPA) in the middle of two sequential 23.2 min MRI exposures. Exposed rats (n = 21) showed significantly greater (29%, P = 0.006) retention of [153 Gd]DTPA than sham-exposed rats (n = 22) 1 h after the end of the last 23.2 min exposure. These findings suggest that magnetic fields may alter BBB permeability.
在一项定性电子显微镜研究中,我们最初报告称,将大鼠暴露于标准临床磁共振成像(MRI)程序下会使血脑屏障(BBB)对辣根过氧化物酶的通透性暂时增加。在本研究中,我们对最初的发现进行了定量支持。在连续两次23.2分钟的MRI暴露过程中,于中间阶段给大鼠进行心内注射放射性标记的二乙三胺五乙酸[(153Gd)DTPA]。在最后一次23.2分钟暴露结束1小时后,暴露组大鼠(n = 21)对[153Gd]DTPA的保留量比假暴露组大鼠(n = 22)显著更高(29%,P = 0.006)。这些发现表明磁场可能会改变血脑屏障的通透性。
