A HEPATOCYTE-MIMICKING ANTIDOTE FOR ALCOHOL INTOXICATION

Alcohol intoxication causes serious diseases, whereas current treatments are mostly supportive and unable to remove alcohol efficiently. Upon alcohol consumption, alcohol is sequentially oxidized to acetaldehyde and acetate by the endogenous alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, respectively. We disclose a hepatocyte-mimicking antidote for alcohol intoxication through the co-delivery of the nanocapsules of alcohol oxidase (AOx), catalase (CAT), and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to the liver, where AOx and CAT catalyze the oxidation of alcohol to acetaldehyde, while ALDH catalyzes the oxidation of acetaldehyde to acetate. Administered to alcohol-intoxicated mice, the antidote rapidly accumulates in the liver and enables a significant reduction of the blood alcohol concentration. Moreover, blood acetaldehyde concentration is maintained at an extremely low level, significantly contributing to liver protection. Such an antidote, which can eliminate alcohol and acetaldehyde simultaneously, holds great promise for the treatment of alcohol intoxication and poisoning. 1. A method of decreasing the concentration of ethanol and its metabolites in an individual comprising the steps of:(a) administering a multiple-enzyme nanocomplex system to the individual, wherein the multiple-enzyme nanocomplex system comprises:an alcohol oxidase enzyme that generates hydrogen peroxide and acetaldehyde a first enzymatic reaction with ethanol;a catalase enzyme that converts the hydrogen peroxide into water in a second enzymatic reaction; anda polymeric network configured to form a shell that encapsulates the alcohol oxidase and the catalase, wherein:the polymeric network exhibits a permeability sufficient to allow the ethanol to diffuse from an external environment outside of the shell to the alcohol oxidase so that the hydrogen peroxide is generated; and(b) administering to the individual an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme that converts acetaldehyde to acetate in a third enzymatic ...

Circuits for magnetic resonance imaging systems for integrated parallel reception, excitation, and shimming

Systems, methods and devices are configured for integrated parallel reception, excitation, and shimming (iPRES). Parallel transmit/receive (which can include B1 shimming and/or parallel imaging capabilities) and B0 shimming employ the same set of localized coils or transverse electromagnetic (TEM) coil elements, with each coil or TEM element working in both an RF mode (for transmit/receive and B1 shimming) and a direct current (DC) mode (for B0 shimming) simultaneously. Both an RF and a DC current can flow in the same coil simultaneously but independently with no electromagnetic interference between the two modes. This invention is not only applicable when the same coil array is used for parallel transmit, receive and shim, but also when two separate coil arrays are used. In that case, the B0 shimming capability can be integrated into one of the coil arrays (i.e. a transmit array with B1 shimming capability or a receive array), thereby increasing the flexibility and practical utility of the iPRES technology.
