Fe3O4 nanoparticles were coated with human serum albumin（HSA） for magnetic resonance imaging as contrast agent. Characteristics of magnetic particles coated or uncoated were carried out using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Zeta potentials, package effects and distributions of colloid particles were measured to confirm the attachment of HSA on magnetic particles. Effects of Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with HSA on magnetic resonance imaging were investigated with rats. The experimental results show that the adsorption of HSA on magnetic particles is very favorable to dispersing of magnetic Fe3O4 particles, while the sizes of Fe3O4 particles coated are related to the molar ratio of Fe3O4 to HSA. The diameters of the majority of particles coated are less than 100 nm. Fe3O4 nanoparticle coated with HSA has a good biocompatibility and low toxicity. This new contrast agent has some effects on the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of liver and the lowest dosage is 20μmol/kg for the demands of diagnosis.展开更多

An rHSA host absorbs maximally eight FeP molecules, and the solution properties are almost identical to those of rHSA itself. The second-order structure and surface charge distribution of rHSA were always constant independent of the binding numbers of FeP. Its O 2-binding ability satisfies the initial clinical requirements for red cell substitute. Although the NO-binding affinity is 8-fold high compared to the Hbs, administration of this fluid into rats showed negligible change in the blood pressure. Physiological responses to exchange transfusion with this rHSA-FeP into anaesthetized rats have also been evaluated.展开更多
