The advancements of magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents (MRCAs) are continuously driven by the critical needs for early detection and diagnosis of diseases, especially for cancer, because MRCAs improve diagnostic accuracy significantly. Although hydrophilic gadolinium (III) (Gd3+) complex-based MRCAs have achieved great success in clinical practice, the Gd3+-complexes have several inherent drawbacks including Gd3+ leakage and short blood circulation time, resulting in the potential long-term toxicity and narrow imaging time window, respectively. Nanotechnology offers the possibility for the development of nontoxic MRCAs with an enhanced sensitivity and advanced functionalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided synergistic therapy. Herein, we provide an overview of recent successes in the development of renal clearable MRCAs, especially nanodots (NDs, also known as ultrasmall nanoparticles (NPs)) by unique advantages such as high relaxivity, long blood circulation time, good biosafety, and multiple functionalities. It is hoped that this review can provide relatively comprehensive information on the construction of novel MRCAs with promising clinical translation.

Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) modified nanocarriers are being used widely in the drug delivery system (DDS). However, the “accelerated blood clearance (ABC) phenomenon” was induced upon repeated administration of PEG-modified liposomes, resulting in reduced blood circulation time, and increased accumulation in liver and spleen. To avoid the unexpected phenomenon, polysialic acid (PSA) was selected to modify liposomes. PSA is a natural, highly hydrophilic polysaccharide polymer for which no receptors exists in the body. It is non-immunogenic, biodegradable and endows the conjugated bioactive macromolecule and drugs with increased circulation time in vivo. In the present study, the in vivo evaluation showed that PSA modified liposomes (PSA-Lip) afford extended blood circulation in wistar rats and beagle dogs. Moreover, the ABC phenomenon did not occur and the IgM antibody was not induced after repeated injections of PSA-Lip. These results strongly suggest that PSA modification represents a promising strategy to afford good stealth of the liposomes without evoking the ABC phenomenon.

✓ The cerebral blood circulation time (CT), including the length of the arterial phase, was obtained from rapid serial angiograms in 114 patients with ruptured intracranial aneurysms. The average CT of 7.2 sec, with a mean arterial phase of 3.1 sec, was much longer than the normal average CT of 5.4 sec with its 2.4 sec arterial phase. Longer circulation times were observed with the higher Botterell grades of clinical condition, high arterial perfusion and CSF pressures, and in cases with angiographic evidence of arterial spasm, hematoma, or hydrocephalus. Values of CT greater than 8.0 sec were associated with increased mortality and morbidity and vice versa. The value of the cerebral blood circulation time as a guide to preoperative treatment and to the prognosis of cases of ruptured intracranial aneurysm is suggested.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the in vivo characteristics of poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (lacticacid-co-glycolicacid)-poly (ethylene- glycol) (PELGE) copolymers as drug carriers. In order to test this circulation time, mitoxantrone (DHAQ) was used as a model drug in this study. DHAQ nanoparticles (DHAQ-NP) were prepared, subsequently the DHAQ-NP were evaluated by measuring the drug concentration in plasma after intravenous administration via the tail vein of mice. The circulation time of the DHAQ-NP were tested. The results showed prolonged mitoxantrone (DHAQ) residence in systemic blood circulation.

Abstract Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are a promising nanoplatform for bioreagent formation for in vivo imaging, which emit UV and blue light under the action of near-infrared radiation, providing deep tissue penetration and maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio. In the case of solid tumor visualization, the UCNP surface functionalization is required to ensure a long circulation time, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. The effective UCNP accumulation in the solid tumors is determined by the disturbed architecture of the vascular network and lymphatic drainage. This work demonstrates an approach to the UCNP biofunctionalization with endogenous polysialic acid for in vivo bioreagent formation. Bioreagents possess a low level of nonspecific protein adsorption and macrophage uptake, which allow the prolongation of the circulation time in the bloodstream up to 3 h. This leads to an intense photoluminescent signal in the tumor.
