Abstract
Atherosclerotic plaque remains the primary cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate assessment of the degree of atherosclerotic plaque is critical for predicting the risk of atherosclerotic plaque and monitoring the results after intervention. Compared with traditional technology, the imaging technologies of nanoparticles have distinct advantages and great development prospects in the identification and characterization of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. Here, we systematically summarize the latest advances of targeted nanoparticle approaches in the diagnosis of atherosclerotic plaque, including multimodal imaging, fluorescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, exosome diagnosis, and highlighted the theranostic progress as a new therapeutic strategy. Finally, we discuss the major challenges that need to be addressed for future development and clinical transformation.

High Contrast Detection of Carotid Neothrombus with Strong Near-Infrared Absorption Selenium Nanosphere Enhanced Photoacoustic Imaging. Int J Nanomedicine 2023; 18:4043-4054. [PMID: 37520300 PMCID: PMC10377622 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s404743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Carotid artery thrombosis is the leading cause of stroke. Since there are no apparent symptoms in the early stages of carotid atherosclerosis onset, it causes a more significant clinical diagnosis. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging provides high contrast and good depth information, which has been used for the early detection and diagnosis of many diseases. Methods We investigated thrombus formation by using 20% ferric chloride (FeCl3) in the carotid arteries of KM mice for the thrombosis model. The near-infrared selenium/polypyrrole (Se@PPy) nanomaterials are easy to synthesize and have excellent optical absorption in vivo, which can be used as PA contrast agents to obtain thrombosis information. Results In vitro experiments showed that Se@PPy nanocomposites have fulfilling PA ability in the 700 nm to 900 nm wavelength range. In the carotid atherosclerosis model, maximum PA signal enhancement up to 3.44, 4.04, and 5.07 times was observed by injection of Se@PPy nanomaterials, which helped to diagnose the severity of carotid atherosclerosis. Conclusion The superior PA signal of Se@PPy nanomaterials can identify the extent of atherosclerotic carotid lesions, demonstrating the feasibility of PA imaging technology in diagnosing carotid thrombosis lesion formation. This study demonstrates nanocomposites and PA techniques for imaging and diagnosing carotid thrombosis in vivo.

[PMID: 35096525 PMCID: PMC8783138 DOI: 10.1016/j.pacs.2022.100331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 05/18/2023]
Abstract
Near-infrared photoacoustics receives increasing interest as an intravital modality to sense key biomolecules. One of the most central types of biomolecules of interest are lipids as they constitute essential bio-hallmarks of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and their in-vivo detection holds insightful information about disease progression and treatment monitoring. However, the full potential of near-infrared photoacoustic for high-resolution and high-sensitivity biomedical studies of lipids has so far not been exploited due a lack of appropriate excitation sources delivering short-pulses at high-repetition-rate, high-pulse-energy, and wavelength around 1200 nm. Here, we demonstrate a custom-built SRS fiber amplifier that provides optical excitations at 1192.8 nm, repetition rates of 200 kHz, pulse durations below 2 ns, and pulse energies beyond 5 μJ. We capitalize on the performance of our excitation source and show near-infrared photoacoustics resolving intrinsic lipid contrast in biomedically relevant specimens ranging from single cells to lipid-rich tissue with subcellular resolution.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. An effective management and treatment of CVDs highly relies on accurate diagnosis of the disease. As the most common imaging technique for clinical diagnosis of the CVDs, US imaging has been intensively explored. Especially with the introduction of deep learning (DL) techniques, US imaging has advanced tremendously in recent years. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is one of the most promising new imaging methods in addition to the existing clinical imaging methods. It can characterize different tissue compositions based on optical absorption contrast and thus can assess the functionality of the tissue. This paper reviews some major technological developments in both US (combined with deep learning techniques) and PA imaging in the application of diagnosis of CVDs.
