Abstract
Functional imaging (FI) techniques have revolutionized tumor imaging by providing information on specific tumor functions, such as glycometabolism. However, tumor cells lack unique molecular characteristics at the molecular level and metabolic pathways, resulting in limited metabolic differences compared to normal cells and increased background signals from FI. To address this limitation, we developed a novel imaging technique termed proximity-enhanced functional imaging (PEFI) for accurate visualization of tumors. By using "two adjacent chemically labeled glycoproteins" as output signals, we significantly enhance the metabolic differences between tumor and normal cells by PEFI, thereby reducing the background signals for analysis and improving the accuracy of tumor functional imaging. Our results demonstrate that PEFI can accurately identify tumors at the cellular, tissue, and animal level, and has potential value in clinical identification and analysis of tumor cells and tissues, as well as in the guidance of clinical tumor resection surgery.

[PMID: 38174274 PMCID: PMC10763659 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra06227a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
We report the integral elastic, momentum transfer, and inelastic (positronium formation and ionisation) cross sections for positron scattering from structurally related molecules. The molecules chosen for the current investigation are formamide, formylphosphine, formic acid, N-methylformamide, acetone, acetic acid, and formaldehyde. The cross sections were calculated using the optical potential approach and the complex scattering potential-ionisation contribution method for impact energies between 1 and 5 keV. A sizable repository of data is now available for positron scattering from various atoms and molecules; however, data on the impact of positrons on current targets is still scarce and fragmented. While most cross sections are the first of their kind, we analyze our total cross sections (TCSs) with the previous literature available, which has become attractive to researchers trying to model the tracks of charged particles in matter. TCSs have recently seen a resurgence in popularity thanks to their utility in specifying the mean-free path between the collisions of such simulations. We find good qualitative convergence between experimental and theoretical results below and above the positronium formation threshold. However, around the threshold region, a significant discrepancy is encountered, which can be accounted for due to the experiment's lack of forward angle scattering effect discrimination. This level of agreement evolves to become quantitative at intermediate and higher energies.
